Are there people such as Christian psychics? Somehow calling someone a Christian psychic is a dichotomy. That’s because most Christians do not believe in psychics.

The view of Christians about psychics is deeply rooted in the bible. The practice of psychic readings is considered as one of the occult religions. Bible passages lists down psychics, spiritism, mediums also as part of the occult. Because of the opposition from the Church, many Psychic Christians did not appear or make themselves known to the public for a very long time. They also kept away from the usual psychic tools. Common psychic tools and methods such as crystal balls, tarot cards, séance and palm readings were forbidden by the Christian religion.

Slowly the public became accepting. Psychics were now able to come out to the public. Gone were the days where psychics were considered as witches. A witch was usually burned as the example in the Salem witch trials.

Christian psychic readers can now advertise themselves freely. They just don’t have to label themselves as Christian psychic. Most refer to them as simply “psychic”. In the 90s the most common form of advertisement was through television. A TV show would feature the psychic. Live calls would then be received and the psychic will be then filmed talking with the caller.

Other psychics have shops or offices to held their readings. Sometimes psychics add an aura of mystery by adding occult decorations. Some years after, the telephone was used to conduct long distance readings. The customer would then be billed through the phone.

Recently, the internet became a haven for psychics. Websites of psychics feature testimonies of customers who were satisfied

There are many notable psychics that have a high success rate. These are psychics who were able to make predictions or readings of the past. Examples of the use of psychics today are the locators. They are frequently hired to look for missing people or those who are evading the law.

Unfortunately, there aren’t enough honest psychics in the world. There are reports of customers getting fraudulent readings. This could cause a lot of problems in the life of a customer. In particular, if a wife is asking if her husband is cheating on her, the wrong answer from a psychic can have dire consequences.

The most infamous psychic fraud to date can be attributed to the man who predicted the end of the world last May 26, 2011. A lot of people spent their money thinking the world would really end. The man may have called himself a prophet but the means he used to predict the end of times was using numerology. Numerology is a tool used by psychics.

The belief in psychics is rooted in faith. There will be times that you may turn to a psychic when can’t answer questions for yourself. However, you also have to be realistic. There’s a probability that it won’t happen. In times of great doubt, your faith can help you. It is always best to remember that a psychic cannot run your life. You are still the master of your own fate.

Some decades ago, you could barely find Christian psychics. Most of them were in hiding before. Even though it was God who gave them psychic gifts, a lot of people were confused or possibly envious. The psychics were persecuted by the media.

It’s entirely the fault of the people though. There were some “fake” psychics who took advantage of a lot of people. They tried to make money by giving out psychic predictions. Predictions or foretelling of the future was the common ability of psychics. Scrupulous individuals used their charm to lure customers and give them fake prophecies. These prophecies were also damaging as they caused the customer to do acts that would benefit the fake psychic.

These psychics are the ones who kept on predicting the end of the world. They would scare their followers into believing the end was near. They would then ask for donations by saying they need to warn the rest of the world. Some of these harbingers of doom claim that the people no longer need their earthly possessions and that the “fake” psychic would take the burden away from them. There were a lot of people who believed psychics such as this.

Yet nowadays, there are honest psychics that give the visions as presented by God. That’s where a Christian psychic gets his or her powers from. This is true, the bible is proof that psychics are real and are blessed by God. Of course, if you look for the word Psychics in the Bible, you won’t find anything. That’s because these psychics were called as prophets and seers.

When looking for Christian psychic readers, always assess if they have the gifts from God. The first gift that you should look for is their gift of Prophecy. This is the most common gift that God could give a Christian psychic. This allows the psychic to delve in to the future as allowed by God. Sometimes, the psychic will get the vision from God himself in the form of prophecies. You just have to understand that sometimes the psychic makes mistakes in interpreting the vision given by God. Or, God Himself doesn’t want to show your vision at the moment. You can wait patiently and pray and meditate with the psychic for guidance.

Another gift that is common with psychics is the gift of healing. This gift isn’t just about healing sickness of the body. Although the capability of healing diseases and disorders may be trumpeted by media, the capability to heal the soul is much more important. The psychic can see if there are any demonic influences affecting your soul. Sometimes, these demonic influences on your soul can have physical manifestations. This is why getting rid of these demonic influences, one gets cured.

Another important gift is also used in Christian psychic readings. It is the gift of the Spirit. Without this gift, there is no telling where the vision came from. Usually, God gives the vision and channels it to the psychic via the Holy Spirit. Without the gift of the spirit, the psychic may be influenced or given a vision by Satan.

You can always go to your Christian Psychic for guidance. Just remember though, each and every one of us has a gift given by God. That is free will. We can choose to listen to what the psychic say or do something else such as asking help directly from God.

Christian psychics exist and they have contributed a lot to our lives. Some decades ago, humanity still had the lingering fear of witchcraft. They labeled anything unusual as demonic. Recently, mankind has grown stronger and has learned to accept that Christian psychics are individuals who are blessed by God.

Where do the psychics get their special ability? Only God can give it. The Bible has written proof of these abilities. Here is a list of psychic abilities granted by God and recorded in the Bible.

The Gift of Prophecy

This gift has been given to prophets. Usually they are male; however some female individuals in the Bible have this capability. When Hebrews were slaves to Egyptians, a prophet foresaw salvation and led them across the dessert. A prophet also foresaw the coming of Christ.

The Gift of Wisdom

Extraordinary wisdom can be a psychic gift. Knowing where an object is a form of this gift. The most notable Biblical figure with this gift is the wise king Solomon. Solomon was able to find lies, mistakes and the truth easily. Honest psychics should be able to use this gift and never lie.

The Gift of Discerning Spirits

This gift is one of the most important of all gifts given by God. The psychic must have this capability to differentiate the origin or alignment of the spirit bringing the prophecy. Sometimes Satan sends a spirit to give false prophecies. This can give out false Christian psychic readings.

The Gift of Tongues and Interpreting Tongues

This gift is actually well documented today. There have been psychic manifestations showing a person able to speak many languages. Another gift which is interpreting tongues usually manifests with a person gifted with tongues. Some may retain the gifts while others lose it over time.

The Gift of Healing

Another psychic gift that has been well documented in the Bible and in modern times. Records show of individuals who are capable of healing in the name of God. Saints are known to even possess this capability. Most famous are the ones who are blessed by Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. Even Christ was known to be a healer. He could heal the sick, make the cripple walk and make the blind and deaf regain their senses. However, there is one aspect in the gift of healing that is only exclusive to Christ. That is the capability to bring back someone to life. Christ only did this once to prove that he really is the Son of God.

The Gift of Miracles

This is another gift that is documented along with healing. The Bible is full of individuals blessed with this psychic ability given by God. Moses was able to part the Red sea with this gift. In modern times, saints are examples of individuals blessed with this gift.

The Gift of Faith

This is another important gift that Christian psychic readers should have. A psychic Christian must be able to share this gift of faith with everyone. The visions given by God will be useless if we don’t have any fait at all.

You may have one or two of these gifts already. If you need some guidance, you can approach ones who were blessed with different gifts. Of course, the best way still is to talk to God directly through prayer.

You don’t have to fear seeking the help of Christian psychics. There’s a misconception tagged with the name psychics. The name psychic was coined by spiritualist Camillie Flammarion who is also a French astronomer.

In ancient times, psychics were known by different names. They were seers or prophets. Christianity had prophets that could predict incoming doom or disaster. They were very much like the oracles of Greece who could divine the future. They all claim to be guided by a supernatural force such as the Holy Spirit or Apollo.

Psychics weren’t known by the name until 1870s. The first one to make the word was Astronomer Camille Flammarion. It was formally introduced into the English Language by Edward William Cox.

The earliest known abilities to be associated to psychics were divination and fortune telling. Divination makes use of tools that allow the psychic to focus and make a “divination” or fortune telling. Astrology is also associated with psychics. They use it by reading the stars and planetary alignments to predict the future of someone.

A popular ability of psychics is the controlled remote viewing. This ability might be highly controversial however certain governments in the world actually use this ability. It is about gaining supernatural vision or awareness of the location of a particular object or person that is missing or hidden. Some of the best psychics with this ability could locate a missing child. Some say that this ability was also used in hunting terrorists. There’s limited acceptance of this ability though, some call it as psychic espionage.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to find honest psychics. Some psychics are frauds. This is actually due to the common misconception of many. Most people think that becoming a psychic means you have one hundred percent accuracy in terms of fortune telling. This is not true.

Psychics can also have mistakes. This mentality was used by many frauds to deceive people. They would convince a group of people that they are true psychics because they have a 100% prediction success rate. They fooled a lot of people into giving them money for such accurate predictions. People began to distrust psychics and anything related to them. Most people who hated psychics were Christians.

Thankfully, a new breed of Christian psychic readers is now trying to turn the tide. These are psychics who know that they rely on a higher power to give them abilities. They rely on God. They understand that not every vision can come true. There’s the danger of false visions from Satan. A Christian psychic also knows the limits of visions from God. He cannot reveal anything so the psychic will have to do with what is shown to him or her.

When you have Christian psychic readings, do not expect a detailed event that will happen in the future. It doesn’t work that way. Instead, warnings will be given by God through the psychics.

Every now and then, we desire help from supernatural sources. We sometimes turn to someone who we believe has the ability to help. However, if you still distrust psychics, you could always ask help directly from God.

The world as we know it has two major religions: Christianity and Islam. Neither of these religions believes in talking with the dead. Despite the many differences, these two seem to agree on the spiritual fact that when a person dies, his soul goes somewhere and leaves this earth. Hence, we cannot, under any circumstances, talk with the dead.

However, Christian psychics do abound today. These two words, ironically speaking, should not even be used in the same sentence; they are simply irreconcilable. The church even warns its followers that communicating with the dead is communicating with the devil. In fact, so many horror movies had been created to highlight this warning.

So, why do Christians believe in Christian psychics? And, why are there Christian psychics in the first place?

Let us have the first question. Christians, no matter how devout they might be, are still bound by human instincts and emotions. We are so heartbroken when someone dear leaves us behind. Sometimes, the pain becomes unendurable that the grieving person resorts to psychic readings. In other words, they go to a Christian psychic so they can communicate with the departed loved one.

The reasons why people want to communicate with the spirits are varied. Some want to talk with their loved ones because they miss them so much. They want to know whether they are still hanging around with them unseen, or whether they have indeed found a good place, as what the Christian doctrine says. At other times, people want to communicate with their loved ones in order to clarify some things. For example, an old man who forgot to make his last will can be contacted by the members of the family in order to determine his will. It may sound absurd, but things like this do happen.

Christian psychics even cite, albeit falsely, biblical lines in order to justify their acts. They say that it is not forbidden by God to communicate with the dead for even His prophets communicated with their departed ancestors in order to seek guidance. Some people readily believe this. In fact, they will pay a lot of money just to talk with the dead.

Not all believers of the spirit are Christians, however. Some do not believe in the Christian God, but they do believe in the existence of spirits and souls. Contrary to Christian belief, these people believe that the souls of the dead do not go anywhere. Instead, they stay on earth fleeting here and there. For them, it is only logical to try to contact them every now and then.

Even though they do not believe in Christianity, they still seek the assistance of Christian psychics to do the psychic readings. This is because they believe that specific steps and more specific materials that only the Christian psychics know will lead to a successful intra-spirit communication. They believe that by communicating with the dead, they give themselves a better chance of dealing with everyday life because, after all, they have been advised by the dead.
