Some people believe the Bible has made reference to psychics

as dangerous charlatans who should be avoided. Others

believe that many of the great prophets and predictions made

throughout scripture simply arose from psychic or sensitive

citizens within these antiquated communities. So it’s not

surprising that to many Christians, psychics are not viewed

as trustworthy people. However, what happens when the

psychic him or herself is a Christian?

If their personal beliefs contradict the power that was just

always within themselves. For most psychics they did not ask

to have this ability – it just happened and usually at a

very young age. How must life be if people they attend

church with see them as wrong or even evil? Do they hide

their ability? Do they feel ashamed of it?

The Bible (as with other controversial topics) does tend to

offer mixed mesages and even contradict itself especially

when the two testaments are compared. Those who find

psychics to be evil should only look at the fact that many

of Jesus’ followers were in fact psychics or prohets by

their own admission. Now this can be easily argued that

it’s not the same thing that their foreseeing capabilites

came directly from God – whereas most Christians see psychic

abilities in today’s world as coming from a dark place.

There are most definitely psychics who use their gift in

ways that are not kind or take advantage of their clients

through selfish schemes or ulterior motivations. This does

not necessarily mean their ability itself is bad but rather

how they choose to use it. Why however, does the Bible state

that psychics need to be avoided? Maybe its to protect us

from the negative, “evil” psychics who do not believe what

the Bible teaches? Or are these ideas just representative of

reflections in the cultural and stereotypical beliefs of

yesteryear – just as our own society has evolved over even

the last few decades, certainly we shouldn’t be surprised if

the values of our biblical forefathers were a bit different

than we see today.

For those Christians who believe that having psychic

abilities is NOT a bad thing and even seek the advice of a

psychic – being able to have a reading from someone with the

same religious beliefs may be very beneficial. If you are

seeking advice on personal issues – speaking to someone who

can offer advice based on directing you on a path that your

own religious beliefs teach is a good and positive thing.
