I really need to know if this is Demonic

Talk to your parents as well as your Pastor and see how they feel about it.

I wouldn't dismiss it solely because the bible doesn't list it as a gift of the spirit. The disciples that were sent out could grab serpents without damage. One apostle (I disremember which) was transported in an instant to another city.

OTOH, nowhere have I seen that talent other than bad movies and con artists. Also, miraculous events in the Bible occurred for one purpose: to glorify God, either by blessing others, serving His kingdom or signs of God's purpose. If you can do this just for the fun of it, it doesn't sound like it glorifies God. Noone prophesies the winner of the Superbowl in July just to impress their friends, right?

If you can sincerely do this, then pray for God's wisdom. Find a pastor you trust (he/she will have to have a really open mind!) to talk to about it. Tell him you're not sure about this ability and you want to test the spirit. Pray with him about it. If he does not sense God's will against it, see if you can perform the gift in his presence after praying.

The one sure piece of advice I can say is this. If you are a Christian, your salvation is from the Blood of Christ. Your heart is God's property and you can trust Him with it. Ask Him to keep your surrounded by His protection.

If this is a demonic power, keep in mind that God can turn it around and use it for His glory. Quite frankly, we need more people with righteous supernatural powers, and it's great to hear that we have a fine candidate for the task.

Do you know anyone who has incredible spiritual insight into matters such as these?

In the meantime, pray, pray, pray.

you said you sat down and tried it... and it took a while for you to be able to do it...

i seriously would say that repeatedly trying to do something like that is "asking" for it, and if you ask, you will often get what you are asking for... if we ask repeatedly for the devil to give us
some power (why???), he is more than "happy" to oblidge, and God will back off and let us work our way into "the pit" so to speak, turn us over to the evil our hearts so much desire...

please heed these warnings... if you can.

I would say its demonic. sounds lik it to me. Some people may not believe this, but my mother is possessed. not 24/7 but when she gets angry this is when satan grabs hold of her. And this winter it was a calm night outside, no wind or n e thing. and we were watchin t.v and she looked outside and the lawchair on our porch went sliding super fast across the porch. it was unbelievable, scary tho.

Philippians 2:5 says let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. That is a sound mind. It is a pure mind. It is the mind of Jesus Christ that will go into the kingdom of God. Make sure that we work and we focus on having the mind of Jesus Christ.

Remember people said Jesus healings were of the Devil.

Spiritual Powers:

You must separate yourself from sin (see 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:l9-21; Ephesians 5:4-5; Revelation 21:8). This includes envy, hate, anger, greed, bad language, occult practices, dishonesty, sex outside of marriage, homosexuality, stealing, getting drunk, and practices that are injurious to health.

Because if you've have made God your God, you must obey him and look to Him alone for direction. It is therefore wrong to resort to horoscopes, palmistry, tarot cards, seances, ouija boards, and so on. (Deuteronomy 18:10-15; 1 Chronicles 10:13,14; Isaiah 8:19).

The Bible clearly teaches that there are evil spirits, as well as good spirits (eg. 1 John 4:1). God is the Good Spirit and he is in charge of all other good spiritual beings (angels). Since the only way to God is through Jesus (John 14:6), any spiritual experiences that occur without complete reliance upon Jesus Christ, cannot be from God. Such psychic phenomena must therefore be due to the activities of evil spirits. Note that I am referring to actual psychic phenomena and not to instances when trickery is used to simulate these practices. Don’t be fooled by the quasi-scientific explanations and the apparent harmlessness of many occult practices Evil spiritual powers that are violently opposed to God are behind such seemingly innocent things as ESP, telepathy, clairvoyance, astral travel, levitation, magic, table-tipping, water-divining, charms, witchcraft (white and black), telekinesis, parakinesis and psychometry. Some think these are quite harmless. Break the hidden hold any of these has over you by confessing them to God as sin. Ask your Lord’s forgiveness and protection and have nothing more to do with such practices.

I used to be into New Age, yes I was gifted too, and Yes it is from the devil...

You need to get all non-christian books and things/crystals out of your room, and pray... annoint your room...

It's part of witchcraft... Let me know how I ca help...

God Bless,

Is there anyway to use this to the glory of God, without becoming a circus act?
