All my life I have been a devout Christian and been a follower of Jesus, but also throughout my life I have had what can only be described as "psychic" experiences and sometimes glimpses into the paranormal or "spirit realm". As a christian it is hard for me to share these experiences or be curious about understanding them without feeling that it is wrong to do so.
Today, I had another one that was very powerful. I woke up in mortal fear for my husband. I felt that he was in danger and that whatever it was, centered around his job. I curled up to him and held him until the alarm went off....then asked him to stay home...that I was scared for him. Of course, he consoled me and explained that he had to go to work. But he called me a short time later to tell me that his building at work was on fire.
I have had other similiar experiences, but I don't share them often.
So....as a christian , how am I to interpret this?
Prophetic or Psychic?

other experiences are:
on 9/11 I woke up at 7:30 a.m. CST and started crying uncontrollably, without knowing why. i was so sad that i just stayed in bed weeping until my mom called me to turn on the tv.
I woke one day with the name of my best friend blinking in neon pink in my head. I called to find her in tears...te police were there and she had been assaulted by a family member.
When we were moving, my husband went back to our house to get another load of stuff...while he was gone, I got a nerveous tension in my gut and knew something was wrong...that he was upset. When he finally came home, he had been chased by an old enemy and had been in a fight.
there are many others like this....

Seems more psychic than prophetic as you are seeing it yourself rather than having God showing it to you. Some people have greater degrees of psychic ability than others, yours seems tied into your emotional/love system..

Spirituality is born from a personal occurrence with a divine, psychic or mystical experience of one form or another which inevitably connects a person to All that Is/God/Goddess/Allah/Great Spirit /whatever you want to call it.
Religion is second hand opinion of someone else’s divine experience. I think you will find that religions, and especially fanatical religions, tend to separate and divide people, while spirituality brings people together.
Thank God that Spirituality is on the increase!
I believe we are all psychic, but for the majority the gift or the belief has been long knocked out of them. Educated out is another way of looking at it. Many professional psychics have grown up in a psychic friendly environment. Perhaps a grand-parent or parent with the knowledge has helped bring the extra sense out in the open and encouraged its use. But there are as many practicing psychics who have not had the benefit of caring psychic guidance and who have still managed to develop and hone this natural extra sense.

The show 'Medium' is about an everydaywoman who has the same thing happen. She works for a police dept & even though her husband doesn't necissarily believe her, he still loves her.
Since this ability is random (no one in power to stop the Crusades, Inquisition, witch hunts), I would say psychic. If there were prophets, shouldn't they see what damage would be done fro0m 'misinterpreting' God's word?

Wow. The Lord certainly gives his people certain gifts. In 1 Corinthians, Paul talks about the gifts of prophesy, knowledge, and also decernment. Search for the answers in the scriptures and He will guide you in understanding your situation.
Also, check your lifestyle to see if there are any occult influences, ie ouija, horoscopes, or anything that could give Satan a foothold in your life. God bless you.

Ask God. Ask your pastor. There should be nothing you cannot talk to him about.
