Psychic Power VS Gift of Prophecy VS Witchcraft?

Question

According to my studies,
I found out that there are 3 types of supernatural powers found amongst today's society. Those borne with psychic powers who can see futures / spirits naturally (unlearned - without using mantras, tarot cards, zodiac, astrology, etc!), those who are really close to God (Holy Spirit) - Gift of Prophecy, visions, can distinguish bad and good spirits, etc [evidence shown in lots of charismatic, spirit-filled church], and witchcraft (learned power- using voodoos, mantras, meditations, tarot cards, zodiac, etc - most use witchcraft to inflict pain on others - so its associated with bad spirits)

There are thin lines between being psychic, have gift from God, and being a witch. Cuz all of them can basically do the same thing - but maybe different source. i dunno.

What do you guys think?-

I'm just curious

lol... ok.. any other oppinions?

ok...
there are 2 sources God and demons, and... how do we distinguish them again?

oh... sorry...
I meant only witchcraft can inflict pain on others.. while psychic power and gift of prophecy cannot.

any other opinions?

what would happen if the power is not from God? How to make sure that the power is from God?

booboo... well. thanks for sharing your personal experience.

I kinda feel that playing with witchcraft is like playing with fire... cuz sometimes the spirits wont leave you and ... err... make your life a miserable hell. So I guess that's the reason why it's not allowed by God. I do know that if you're really close to God, you will be immune to withcraft cuz there're angels (light) protecting you. The degree of closeness to God is the question mark to most people though... how can we tell?

As for psychic (indigo)....
i know some who were born with 6th sense. so... i don't know if that's from God or not?

Purple...
Can you tell me more of your experience that brought you to the Lord?

a charismatic lady told me that I have 2 angels who guard me... is that from God or not?

Answer 1

Instinct is a power we all have (whether we choose to use it or not). This is a taboo subject and I am glad to discuss it with you!

I've spoken to several people who swear up and down they see auras, some see spirits, and others get flashes of possible future events.

Me? I get occasional impressions and am learning how to interpret and deal. I am very sensitive to other people's emotional states and every once in a while I just know I am supposed to go somewhere. Hard to explain.

I prefer not to get wrapped up in cards and readings, but that's just me. I like to use the "Force". I believe in God and in my own judgement.

Does this help you?

Answer 2

Do not put trust into any kind of witchcraft! It is definetly the work of satan! There is no such thing as God giving a psychic a gift to see the future. Only satan does that and it is to get all the souls he can. I use to be a part of this life and left it to become a born again Christian after I learned the real dangers of it. Anyone into witchcraft is playing a very dangerous game with their life which will lead to disaster! Only trust in God and accept Jesus. This is the only true way to peace.

Answer 3

Psychics are more sensitive to spirits, unfortunately the spirits that try to contact them are almost always evil. God does not need a psychic to do His work. Psychic powers are thus more a curse than a blessing. The devil seeks out psychics by appealing to their "power" and provides knowledge that the psychic believes she/he is obtaining herself/himself when in reality it is simply akin to a motion picture played back by the devil to their visual and auditory senses to deceive. Thus ALL psychics used by the police to solve kidnappings, etc find the victim only after he/she has been deceased and the killer beyond redemption. Witchcraft as with other old pagan (now New Age) crafts dedicated to finding your "power" is always a turn to the devil, whether so-called "good" or black magic.

Answer 4

My opinion is that we can communicate with "the other side". Now to simplify the answer to your question....and this is a really simple explanation....The other side is full of entities that are good and bad just like this side is....why wouldn't it be. There are good and evil people in this world just as there are good and evil spirits...it is just that some people think that all spiritual communication is evil. There are angels and there are nefarious spirits as well. This is however an intermediate realm. You can reach a deeper realm where the source is felt and experienced. This is where one should spend their time and energy trying to be in touch with. This is where there is only goodness and pure light.

Answer 5

well ,I am psychic and Christian and having the Gift of prophecy is no different as me being psychic....only change is I'm saved now and 4 years ago i wasn't, but I still have the same type of abilities......
as far as witchcraft at one time I did dabble in it for a while and someone died because they didn't listen to my warning.... i was trying to help him but he wouldn't take the help and was killed not by my hand but by his own drunken stupidity....I read this person Tarot cards and i saw he was going to have a car accident if he didn't stop drinking and with in a week he did have the accident...I never read again.....and my journey lead me to the Lord.

Answer 6

Basically there are two sources, God or demons. If its demon the person usually claims no religion or one other than Christian and the info he gives is not always the most accurate. Not many Christians will admit they can see spirits or had prophetic dreams( unless your in a fired up church) so its usually easy to distinguish. a great test is to get the spirit to say "Jesus is my Lord and Savior". A demon can't say that. As to the below post 1/4 of the bible is prophesy.

Answer 7

Let me take a stab in the dark you can see the future right. One i personally believe that God makes us, and means to me that what he gives us,per person is different. Like most people say some are more special then other, but i don't believe that the devil has anything to do with how we were made or which gift were given or not given.

Answer 8

I think there are familiar spirits that some people communicate with, they are evil!

You can discern what is of God and what is not...What is of God will line up with God's Word, and it will come to pass.

Answer 9

I think you could win a million dollars by proving it - www.randi.org - which you should be easily able to do after researching the subject - right?

If not, what research are you referring to? Stuff that people claim they can do? Because people online can claim anything they want without proof.

Answer 10

There is only one source. Same thing just different lables.

A part of our human condition is to both look within in our attempts to know ourselves and to look outwards in order to know our futures. From eons of studying nature and the world around us we have devised rituals and procedures with which to meet the unknown.
