   Hi Dr. Marie, my name is Pamella.  I am a trained prayer intercessor with extensive training in the hebrew scriptures.  When asking a question such as you have asked, we must go to scripture for the correct or best answer.  In the scripture in 1 Samuel 28:7-14, the story refers to a "medium" contacting the prophet Samuel for King Saul.  Scripturally, this is forbidden.  The reason it is forbidden is because God and God alone must be the one we go to and depend on for all things.  He alone is the God of the universe.  To communicate with the dead is an opening that you absolutely should never access.  I would recommend that you go to a Messianic Rabbi and be anointed with oil, and then I would recommend that you go to Jesus in prayer and ask that this be removed from you if it is His will.  Mind you, the advesary will try to tempt you, so be on guard.  I would also say that God has a great assignment for you for His Kingdom, this is why these psychic abilities have been set before you, to turn you away from God's way.  You must never use tarot cards, they are demonic.  As is a Quiji board.  This is not to say that you are demonic, but those avenues are demonic.  They are governed by the demon world.  It is intended to draw you away from God's purpose for your life.  I hope this helps you and I will be praying for you.  In Messiah's love for you, Pamella

   No way, there is nothing 'evil' about being psychic..the only thing evil is when you 'purposely' want to harm people, everything else is fine...the very fact that you are trying to 'help' people is proof enough to prove to yourself that you are in no way evil

   I have seen a person, who has such amazing powers and I see their capabilities as god's gift. However, as per Siddha tradition, they say that when some of the non-mechanical parts of human brain cells are activated, humans get such amazing powers. So consider this as a Gods gift and its all for good.

   Well if you are concerned with fitting the interests of Christianity, I suppose you should take a closer look at the texts that speak negatively against psychics and those practices. It warns that these are tools of the devil to talk with the dead. Perhaps I've missed something, but did Jesus' disciples not heal people? With Gods faith, is man not capable of performing things in His image? I strongly believe that psychics can abuse their power or be tricked by the Devil, but at the same time, could they not work through the Lord?

   I have been a Christian for 18 years and I would gladly help you with this question. Now let me ask you. When you say psychic abilities do you mean that God speaks to you and gives your words of knowledge for people. The key is that your giving God the credit for your gifts and not getting these gifts from the wrong source. So my question is who is your source of your giftings. If you are coming into a life style of Christianity that would be the biggest question. You are not evil but the source you get this from is if it is not from God. You see what I'm saying? Hope I helped.

    I too am a Christian and it states in the bible that God gives us different gifts; some the gift of prophecy.  Therefore, I believe that it is highly possible for one to have such a gift.  But what should distinguish it from other prophetic abilities is the direction of the Holy Spirit and its edification of the church or the Kingdom of God. If those two demands are fulfilled then you most certainly have a place in Christianity. I wouldn't dare call you evil, because I don't know you or your character and nor is it my place to judge you simply for a difference you may have.

    Well, perhaps you may continue to search, not expecting anything in particular, just open minded exploration of your inner landscape. As it is with anyplace, one must learn the "lay of the land;' know yourself.  As someone who started out with beliefs only to learn that which I imagined was "special" or "mine," was quite different with what is, I understand questions will arise that only YOU are able to answer; are you willing to be "just another regular person," or do you NEED to regard your natural abilities as ONLY YOURS?  When you really see,  you will really know. I have faith in you, you are honest. All religion, regardless of personal joys merely time related, are sophisticated superstitions, and love is not.

    Wow, some people actually believe in witchcraft, and the Bible. Sorry but this is going to offend some people. The Bible is a book written by men to control men...period. In fact I think it is very fickle of people to choose a specific religion that believes they are the only ones that will see paradise (eg- Jehovah's witness, Christians, Catholics etc.) basically all mainstream religions. I believe in God, and live my life morally, and to the best of my ability. I also believe God is far more knowing than any book or belief gives credit for. Why would a creator of all things choose to judge the worthiness of just one of his/her creations; again fickle minded humans. We always seem to think our worth is greater than what it is. Wouldn't the condemnation of other people for not believing what you believe be sinful? It certainly is prideful, even the religious books preach against pride....
    
                      So to answer your question Dr. Marie. Your longing for acceptance is typical taught human behavior; however so is feeling seperate, or alienated because of your differences. People as a whole are very quick to judge themselves against a model of what is acceptable, this is not even a product of religion but of commercial, and society based indoctrination. It is false, all you really need is confidence, and faith in how you live your life. Acceptance is not something worth striving for, if God wanted conglomerations we would not all be born so different.
    
    Just my opinion.

    Yes you are evil. If you really "believe in God & Jesus & God's Holy Spirit" you wouldn't be asking such a question. If you really "believe in God & Jesus & God's Holy Spirit" you'd have found the answer to your question in the Bible. Spiritual Guidance Comes from God Alone. The Bible teaches that spiritual guidance should be sought from God alone through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and he has provided everything we need for this life in his Word. http://christianity.about.com/od/whatdo … dead_2.htm He does not guide us through mediums or psychics.
    
    You can start here.The Bible says we are all evil, there is no one good but God. We are all sinners. So yes you are evil. Not because you see dead people, but you were born in sin. And Jesus said unto him, Why dost thou call me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
    
    Jeremiah 17:9-10 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
    
    You do not see or talk to dead people. You are either delusional, have a mental illness, or are being deceived into believing you are psychic. Since you say you were born psychic the root of your problem is probably in your childhood. Naturally you cannot label yourself a Christian because all the things you say you are are forbidden in Christianity and a direct affront to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I'd suggest you read a copy of the book pictured here and then my advice to you is to seek out the advice of several bonafied Christian ministers, act on their advice, ask them to show you how you are wrong and study the Bible with them. Chances are that is a task that you will not even attempt to try let alone complete as the evil within you, which we all have, will fight tooth and nail to keep you from hearing the truth.
    
    If you are not able to do that you do not "believe God & Jesus & God's Holy Spirit" as you really know nothing of what they actually are. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." If we were not evil there would be no need for John 3:16.

    I don't think the question is whether or not 'we' believe you are evil, what do you believe? If you are a Christian, then all you need do is ask The Lord to reveal to you what he would have you to with your gifts. It's not about what the world thinks, it's about what you believe and who you answer to. When you start putting your belief into yourself and viewing your gifts as something that 'you' have created, then, your thinking is possibly skewed. But again, this isn't for us to judge you. You obviously are a believer. You were born with a gift. Now, ask The Lord Jesus what HE wants you to do.

    No, you're not! You're gifted. I had also a streak of that gift. I had visions during my sleep and it did happen in my country or in any parts of the world. More often than not, my family just take it for granted when I begin telling them what I dream, let's say during the previous evening.
    But I didn't believe in Tarot cards. I just look at the person and once my vibe is strong, then I will abruptly blurt words concerning their health or what I see in their physical being. But not often, as you may think. My mother said that I inherited the gift of my grandfather, although, I'm still reluctant to use it in regular basis.
    One time, the cousin of my father, my uncle died of heart attack. A week before, I warned him that he will meet a grave test with his life (death) because I can't his face clearly.
    I can also detect glimpses of unseen (familiar spirits, doppelganger,etc.) whenever I am at a new place.
    It's tiring to control this gift but I just channel my outlet through writing and keep myself busy with other endeavor.

    Someone with psychic abilities fit into Christianity in absolute harmony because both are by nature spiritual.  Even though you don’t label yourself a Christian, your belief in god makes you a Christian, but Christianity becomes a way of life and takes time to develop and grow.   You were born with psychic abilities and as a child you probably didn’t know what your gift was or how to use it, those skills took time to cultivate, just like Christianity.   So, you can see the correlation between having psychic abilities and Christianity.
    You are not evil!  A god given gift can’t be evil.  Also, using Tarot cards to foresee someone’s death don’t make you evil, in fact, you stated that you don’t need the tarot cards to see what’s to come.   
    You have a special gift from god that you use for good--don’t worry about what people think because you may seem different.  Diversity always brings about controversy when people don’t understand something.  Just remain true to yourself and continue to do good things.

       " So how can any ability be evil? " How about the ability to murder, rape, steal, torture etc.? What  ridiculous, warped logic you possess! None of thats purely evil? Please dont EVER become a judge. Think before you speak.

    hey dear Marie
    
    You are a good person who opened your mind to the viewers. I am not sure how to answer "someone like me, with psychic ability, fit into Christianity?". But i can assure you that you are a good person and society needs you.
    
    Thanks,

    In short, you have no place in the christian faith as long as you continue to practice what The Bible clearly states as being evil and an abonination to God. The following verses should clarify: 'If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against them and will cut him off.(Lev 20:6); 'Do not turn to mediums and necromancers, do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean bu them. I am the Lord your God.'( Lev 19:31); 'There shall mot be found among you anyone who practices divination, or TELLS FORTUNES, or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium, or a necromamcer or one who inquires of the dead, for whosoever does these things us an abomination to the Lord.' (Deut 18:10-13). What you have is NOT a gift from God, but of Satan. God in his grace will offer forgiveness if you turn from this practice, but will invite his wrath if you dont. It may not be the answer you hoped for, but it is clear biblical teaching. No question. I truly fear for you. God bless x

    As I see it, Christianity is for everyone. In fact, it is made specifically to welcome the lost and bring them back to our Creator's arms.

    It doesn't take much to be considered 'evil' by the Christians.  You can't believe in your own abilities, you have to trust what an ancient book full of extraordinary tales dictates! Didn't you know that?

       History was made to be learned. But that doesn't mean that it wasn't true, just not 100% truth because of time. The Bible itself was a history book, but it has being passed down since way too long.

    what we have are gifts from God. how we use it and to where we use it will define if we are good or not. you are one of the dear creation of our God, find the goodness from within. use your gift for the good of others and you will definitely get benefit from it. Be blessed!!!!!
    
    always remember that each one of us is a tabernacle of God's Holy Spirit.

    Most psychics Ive witnessed were very religious and often asked God by for protection.  I think you'll find more acceptance with them than with other religions.   Ex.  The Koran teaches that psychics or those who visit them have made a pact with the jinn and disbelieve in Allah.

    Dear Marie,
    
    I sympathize with your very important concern.  Matters of the soul and your eternal destiny are not to be taken lightly.  Most pay no or little attention to such weighty issues. The fact that you have reached out for help is great.  It may very well be that you find an answer to your prayers and rest for your troubled soul this very day- may it be so in Christ's Holy name.  Amen.
    
    Marie, I have A Ph.D. in Theological Studies from Knox Theological Seminary, FL.  I've authored 2 books on this very subject that are currently available on Amazon.  I too have psychic ability. In fact, 3 years ago I won a $150,000 Illinois lottery prize the first and only time I've ever played the lottery.  I have never played again because of the ethical considerations of having such an advantage. Instead I use my ability to help others like the police in searching for lost children and so forth.  I want to answer your question now.
    
    Everything you have just read in that second paragraph about a Ph.D., winning the lottery, writing 2 books, helping the police and having psychic ability is false.  It is all utterly untrue.  It is a pack of lies.  But as you were reading it it all appealed to your senses and may have even given you a great sense of hope. (Bear with me, there's more hope than that in the rest of this answer).
    
    I wrote those things to illustrate a point: we are very easily deceived.  I've made this point with hundreds of Christians, of which I am one, to illustrate how easily I can deceive them.  Many have sworn up and down that God had spoken to them.  My question to them and to you is this:
    "How do you know that what you have received is from God?". The answer is always, "I just know it. I can't explain it, but I just know its from God because my spirit knows it".  Or some variation of that answer.
    
    Marie, the Bible clearly states that Satan transforms himself into an  Angel of Light as does his ministers in order to deceive and destroy. (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).
    
    Lucifer vowed to be "LIKE the most High" (Is. 14:14).  He mimics God, counterfeits faith and deceives by making things "appear" to be Godly and good.  If you stay focused on false signs and wonders, he wins the victory by keeping you from growth and nourishment on Gods word to pride and dependence upon yourself and your "gift".
    
    "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. (Prov. 3:4).
    
    Remember: Satan will never give you an apple with a worm in it.

    No offense but you don't have a "magical" ability that can be legitimately proven. If you could seriously talk to the dead, everyone in world would be seeking your advice. To claim you have this ability is fraud I'm sorry.

    Honestly speaking I do not think you are evil
    I just think that you are product of an over developed Christian society ,allow me to explain,
    Firstly Christianity I believe has a variant of your skill and that should fall into vision or prophesy
    But because as I perceive the contemporary western society has a new definition for the Christianity of today which invariable means you may not find a place judging from their standards and definitions
    But traditionally speaking you do have a future in Christianity and you should use your ability to draw people to Christ since that was the reason the gift was given in the first place.

    This is a somewhat touchy subject, but, no, I do not think you are evil.
    
    The thing is:
    
    Why would you even want to predict the future? Such divine powers reside solely with our heavenly creator and should stay with him ALONE. If he intended for that to be a skill, quite frankly, he wouldn't have enabled only 0.000001% of the world population, half of which are scam artists, to be capable of it. Furthermore, you were not born with the ability to read tarot cards, you were taught! You disrespect God by putting your faith and spiritual well being in those cards. If you are serious about being a christian, CUT them out your life.
    
    You said you see dead people? I wouldn't doubt it, but, why talk to them? The 'dead' are exactly that, DEAD! The bible tells us when you die, your soul (referring to your body) deteriorates and goes back to where it came from, the DIRT. The mind is a powerful thing, so much so that it will make you sick if you merely think you are. No offense, but, your mind is WEAK and you've let it do whatever it wants for so long that you have no actual control over it.
    
    You believe there is a God and you are willing to have a relationship with him, that's awesome!, do it, commit yourself to living a full fledged christian life. But, you need to avoid those things that are immoral and detestable in God's eyes. So LOSE the cards, STOP talking to them dead folks and focus on your OWN future.

    Dr. Marie:
    
    Fist and foremost, it is good that you believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. In answer to your questions, first are you evil? No, but you, like all people, including myself, are sinful. We have all fallen short of the glory of God and are in need of redemption(see Romans chapter 3, Isaiah 55). That is why God sent Jesus, to pay a sin debt that we could never pay by our good works, which are filthy is God's sight. If we could pay for our sin-debt, Jesus was beaten, crucified, died, and buried for no reason. Secondly, seeing and talking to dead people, I honestly have not understood the "psychic world" in seeing dead people so I will not address that part of your question because I do not want to offend you by giving an answer that would not be correct. However, the idea of talking to dead people is something I know is forbidden by God in the Old Testament. Regarding reading Tarot cards, since these things are used by Mediums, witches, warlocks to foresee the future by calling upon the occultic, may I suggest you stop using them? Lastly, it is a good thing that you want to help people. But I caution you using the psychic realm, you are opening up a door to satanic oppression in your life. There are Born-again Christians who are "Prophetic" as that is a gift that God has given them to use for His glory. When they are speaking to someone or a group of people, God may and does give a word for that person or group of persons either to encourage, challenge, call for a change, or give a warning about how they are living. Since you can not label yourself a Christian, I would begin there first and foremost. Getting your life right with God is priority. Even though you might not outwardly say that you reject Christ, it is an inward choice that matters. In the book of James, it says "You believe in God, you do good, yet the demons also believe, yet tremble. The Bible says today is the day of salvation. Dr. Marie, if you honestly have not given your life over to Jesus do that today! Once you have done that, give your "gift" to Him and ask Jesus to help you use it in a way that will bring Him glory. Please stop using the Tarot cards. I fear for your soul. I know this has been a long-winded answer, but since you asked what I thought, I had to give you the truth, even if it was with both barrels.
