Yes, you can be both. Your able to connect to a higher consciousness. It is not wrong. Even Jesus himself knew the vibrations of the world and knew the future. You are blessed to have those gifts. Thank him for them and ask Him to help you use them according to His will.

Yes, you can be both.
But, you are not a psychic, technically.
What you are describing is a Spiritual gift.
1 Corinthians 12 through 14 describe many of the Spiritual gifts.
Yours falls into the category of
a "word of wisdom" or a "word of knowledge" from 12:8
The Old Testament prophet, Joel, and New Testament Book of Acts of the Apostles confirm that visions are gifts to us from God:

I have been told many times that I am psychic, and I believe that is it a gift of God and I am very much a believer in God. I know when someone is in the need of something or when something bad has happened or is about to happen. not very long ago it was late and my husband was sleeping and I heard someone call my name, it was a female voice and it was very loud, so loud that it should have woke my husband up. and later my husband got up and I asked him if he called my name after I told him what happened and he said it was a female voice and your asking if I called your name. It was kinda funny. But a few days later I talked to my friend and she (the same night I heard the voice) she had found out that day she had breast cancer, I told her what happened with me, and she said she was crying out to me... I have had visions but only a couple times..So yeah they say I am psychic and am sure it is a gift from God.

you can't have unwilling satanism. you can't faithfully serve two opposing masters. getting visions is likely of God, not Satan. unless you're dealing in the occult in some way, you're not a "psychic".
God did promise that in the last days people will see visions. a lot of people get them from time to time. especially in dreams.
so don't worry yourself. you're fine. no one sins unless they give into those desires. if you're not, you haven't sinned. involuntary Satanism is not possible. a dream or vision isn't a desire.

Yes, you can be both Christian and have other-sensory gifts, known as a holy spirit gifts, rather than to use the word "psychic".
I have had gifts all my life and always helped other with them. I never had any help in learning about what they were and how to use them, except the hard way unfortunately, which I have now walked away from, with God's grace.
I have been down that other occult pathway and even worked as a psychic myself, thinking I was doing what I was meant to do because I had these gifts.
I was greatly deceived by others, with them trying to covertly influence me away from my personal beliefs and many used subtle mind-games on me to lead me away from the Truth.
I discovered it was all a trap to deceive me away from my REAL purpose in life, to connive and tempt me with empty promises and garish things that had no substance to them under the deceptive guise that I was helping others, when I was really getting my nature taken advantage of by people who possibly had no genuine thought or loving care for me.
I strongly believe others who also have gifts are also fooled into occult ways, because it is not something that I ever had guidance or support with by someone who could guide me and teach me of the true Christian meaning of them and way to use my gifts properly.
I am still healing from these influences with the help of Jesus Christ and I am now on a more aligned and better path for myself and I believe it was God that did this for me in His own way and time so I could learn the Truth.
Even good, genuine and kind-hearted people can be fooled, so pray to God for guidance on your gifts and try to seek others in the Christian ministry who know about these things for support to help you use them wisely.
There's a lot more I could write, but foremost ~
I am relaying this experience to you and for others who might read it who also have gifts as a warning to be very careful and that you can never discern too much.
Seek Christian guidance on this subject and don't be fooled like I was for many, many years.
Peace.

You can be anything you want to be.
There is a similar gift that runs in my family. I have it. People tried to tell me it was familiar spirits etc.
I know now it is a gift. If I can help someone or keep my family safe then how could it be bad?
I have found you may need to be careful how you tell people things. I might say to someone I have dreamed was in a car accident because their brakes failed." how long has it been since you had your brakes checked?" I have been thinking it has been to long since I had mine looked at and I would hate to have them fail.
At other times you have to just tell them for some reason I am just not comfortable with you doing what ever it is.
Be you!

OF COURSE YOU CAN BE CHRISTIAN! A lot of people in the bible got visions. I'm a little psychic too and no one seems to mind and i'm catholic and normaly they tend to be the more conservative ones

I am, so why shouldn't be able to? Do you think 'God' would give you such a gift if it was wrong for you to have it? Then again, maybe you want to listen to more mainstream Christian views, I am an Esoteric Christian Mystic.

I don't doubt that God give some people the gift to know things. After all, according to The Bible, he shared prophecies with man. I think the important thing is to use your gift to glorify God. The problem with psychics is that people will turn to them for answers instead of turning to God. Pray about your situation, and ask God how and if he means for you to use this gift.
