Does not sound like it is of God to me. Reminds me of some kind of Psychic hotline.

Psychics/mediums are black magic. Definitely spiritual, but in the wrong side. Not something I would recommend messing around with.

Well, the whole forum is like a psychic hotline. lol

I'm not waxing too religious yet. However, I really felt the Lord when I looked at the woman's picture. I prayed for God to open up the spiritual and allow me to see if there was anything about her that I could offer. What I wrote is what I felt. I wrote it in a rather tame manner so as to not freak her out. She's not expecting a Pentecostal lay minister to read her mail there and recruit her to join a church. I want to respect that. When I saw the image of a church with open doors I got really excited. She stated that she believed in God and was thinking about going back to church. That's a good start for her journey. I might let her know that I too am a believer in the hopes that she realizes that God is talking to her.

I'm definitely in enemy territory. And please understand... I'd have jumped at a Christian site that encouraged the use and perfecting of spiritual gifts in an active manner. Please say a prayer for me. Who knows... maybe God has plans for someone there. For the record, my profile reads "Christian: Spirit Filled".

Obviously if you think what you felt was of God you have zero discernment . What you did has no benefit to the kingdom of God and has no back up by scripture. Not only are you in enemy territory but you are using their weapons also

That is not prophetic. You crossed a line that should have never been crossed.

I do not "feel" good about this at all, Chris. When I was younger I have walked in this a little. It is not the same as receiving a real "word" from God.

Even though I believe your motives are innocent I agree with others you have moved in to an area that is not Christian. Becareful you are not being deceived.

The other thought I have is why do you feel your need to "practice" this "gift"?
