“Sleight Of Mind”

Categories: DOCTRINE, GRAB BAG
Hello.  I am a thirteen-year-old girl, and I see spirits and have dreams, and then they end up coming true… sometime I see peoples’ auras; I have even read a few minds before.  Having these psychic abilities, I don’t really like because I can’t always control them.  I was wanting to know if it is against Jesus and God to have these abilities?  I would really love if you would help out!!!

Sincerely,
Claire Voyant

Dear Claire Voyant,

Every supernatural ability that Jesus and His apostles displayed were easily verifiable.  They healed lepers, the blind were made to see, the lame were made to walk, and they raised the dead from their graves (Matt 11:5)… just to name a few types of miracles that were performed by those sent by God.  All of these abilities were verifiable, vivid, and public.  Psychics, palm-readers, astrologists, and others that profess to have miraculous abilities always hide behind a cloud of mystery and veil of secrecy.  We are sure that you really believe what you are saying, but it is important that we don’t mistake being perceptive for being clairvoyant.  Witchcraft, sorcery, astrology, and other supposed psychic arts are of the devil (Acts 19:18-19).  Be very careful to avoid anything associated with these things.  You are probably a very intuitive and aware young lady, but make sure to admit that these talents are natural and not supernatural.  God wants us to have honest and sincere hearts (Lk 8:15).  God’s Word cannot flourish in our lives until we admit that He is the only one with supernatural power.
