Because prophecy is from God and not from our minds or spirit, it will always reveal absolute truth and guide us before a better relationship with God. Psychic ability is real, but is often limited to the mind and without any true knowledge of God. Psychic ability is simply intuition, where as prophecy is divine guidance in which the Holy Spirit speaks. Because prophecy comes from God and psychic ability comes from the "Mind", those who are prophets will always know more than psychics. Not because they are better, but because they know God more than psychics do.

In Christianity, they are often referred to as "seers" according to 1 Samuel 9:9. Christians share the Jewish belief that a prophet is a person who speaks for God, in the name of God, and who carries God's message to others. Some Christian denominations teach that a person who receives a personal message not intended for the body of believers (where such an event is credited at all) should not be termed a prophet. The reception of a message is termed revelation; the delivery of the message is termed prophecy. For Christians the authenticity of a prophet is judged as Jesus said that one should judge a prophet, by his fruits (Gospel of Matthew 7) and by checking whether his predictions come true. Deuteronomy 18:21-22 contains several warnings about false prophets and is very specific about the test of whether a prophet is true or false. A false prophet is considered to be someone who is purposely trying to deceive, or is delusional, or is under the influence of Satan (for detail, see main article False prophet).

Christians recognize that anyone they consider prophetic is still human and fallible, and may make wrong decisions, have incorrect personal beliefs or opinions, and sin from time to time; the human characteristics of a prophet are independent of the message God has given him and do not negate the validity of his prophecies.

Nevertheless, some Christians believe the minimum requirements of a true prophet can be summarized as follows: (1) Clear (not vague) prophecies (2) 100% accuracy in prophesying (i.e. one false prophecy is all it takes to disqualify them as a prophet), and (3) Must not contradict the Bible.[citation needed]

Many Christians believe these standards create a conundrum for other Christians who actively support high profile ministers who have large followings who claim to have received prophecies that have later turned out to be mistaken (see Unfulfilled historical predictions by Christians). Other Christians claim that these standards would disqualify several Biblical prophets, whose prophecies, though clearly stated, appear to be unfulfilled (Jonah 3:4, 2 Samuel 7:5-17, Judges 13:5). Some sects of Christianity would also use these guidelines to disqualify the heads of other sects as prophets of God.

Some Christians, including many who believe in dispensationalism, believe prophecy ended with the coming of Jesus, who delivered the "fullness of the law." Within this group, many Protestants believe that prophecy ended with the last of the Hebrew prophets of the Torah of the Hebrew Bible, leaving a gap of about 400 years between then and the life of Jesus. The majority, including the Eastern Orthodox, allow an exception for John the Baptist as a prophet contemporary with Jesus.

New Testament passages that explicitly discuss prophets existing after the death and resurrection of Christ include Revelation 11:10, Matthew 10:40-41 & 23:34, John 13:20 & 15:20, and Acts 11:25-30, 13:1 & 15:32. Christians believe that the Holy Spirit leads people to faith in Jesus and gives them the ability to lead a Christian life and to give gifts (i.e. abilities) to Christians. These may include the charismatic gifts such as prophecy, tongues, healing, and knowledge. Christians holding a view known as cessationism believe these gifts were given only in New Testament times and ceased after the last apostle died. Historical records, however, contradict this theory.

Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Everyone was made in the image of God. We all know this. But most people do not know that as the Bible says it, we were made in the likeness of God, which means that we have a mind like his, we possess intuition which is psychic ability. Although this may challenge your belief system as to discover what psychic ability actually means, it simply means to have intuition or in other wards your "Gut feeling over something". Everyone has this feeling, this is the "LIKENESS OF GOD within you". Most people blame psychic ability on demons or something evil. But the truth is as in many cases of psychic ability, it is not a product of the Spirit of God, but of the "Likeness of God within".

But it is true that some Psychic's and Medium's talk to demonic spirits and do not even know it. That is why they need Christ, they need the love of God as you and I possess it.

The word psychic (pronounced /?sa?k?k/; from the Greek psychikos—"of the soul, mental") refers to the ability to perceive things hidden from the senses through means of extra-sensory perception. The term also refers to theatrical performers who use techniques such as prestidigitation and cold reading to produce the appearance of having such abilities.

The existence of psychic abilities is highly controversial and Skeptics such as Bret E. Carroll say that most demonstrations of psychic occurrences are intentional trickery or self delusion.[1][2] Parapsychology, uses a variety of methods such as the Ganzfeld experiment to test for extra-sensory perception and random number generators to test for psychokinesis. Although, in given instances these experiments may suggest evidence of psychic ability, the scientific community outside parapsychology does not accept these experiments as sufficient evidence for psychic functioning.[3][4]

Early examples of individuals thought to have psychic powers include the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi who, according to Greek mythology, provided prophecies from Apollo himself, [5] as well as Nostradamus, a French apothecary who is said to have had the ability to predict the future.[6] During the 19th century belief in psychics became more common and many individuals gained notoriety as psychics, including Daniel Dunglas Home.

Psychics appear regularly in fiction, and science fiction such as the The Dead Zone by Stephen King, and Jean Grey from the Marvel comic book universe. Belief in psychic phenomena is widespread in the United States where a 2005 Gallup poll revealed that 41 percent of Americans believe in extra-sensory perception.
