Sometimes I am sitting, experiencing just an ordinary moment and I realize, I "saw" this before. I wonder as a Christian if this is wrong, or some minor gift. I have never seen anything life changing, and I cannot bring "it" on, it just happens. Any thoughts?

Deja vu. Could mean you have seen that scene before and just don't consciously remember it, or it's similar enough to something you experienced in the past that you feel like you've seen or done it before.

Deja vu is a phenomena induced by the brain's inability to simultaneously process multiple events.
The experience is not magic or mysterious, it is the brain storing data until it can be processed, which results in the sensation an experience is being duplicated.
It's all in the mind.

Quite a common occurrence when your brain is not fully in gear or you are not concentrating. You see something, your brain then clicks in and the message gets to the brain. You get confused and honestly think that you saw the scene before. It can be frightening as all your senses tell you that you do not remember seeing it before. In actual fact you did not, it is merely your brain catching up with your consciousness............
