Believers cAn use the spiritual gift of discerning of spirits. We as believers can also prophesy.
However many people that claim psychic ability are misguided and I find they are using whatver extra sense wrongly and almost always predict doom and gloom and either profit from it or dont give glory to God.
It is a common cliche that "real" psionics are most often cursed by their "ability," and even some refuse to "share," out of concern for others.
I am inclined to believe this at least the majority of the time.
Real psionics with deep intuition risk ridicule, shaming, spiritual and physical assault with mention of the reality of their ability. Again, I don't consider myself psionics or psychic, but I have been able to see supernatural things (including entities) that were not good. When I spoke to someone in my Bible group about this some time ago, he literally feigned having to go back to campus - walking the opposite direction.
It is ironic fortune that, even though intuitive who are real Godly psionic are met with abrasiveness from the general public, their very personality (if they are introverted) compels them to stay withing themselves anyway.
It is a big deal, therefore, when an intuitive introvert decided to share something close to them with someone else - especially of the OP caliber.
The ones that do it for money - some of them are actual psionics. One of my family members went with her friend when she was young. The "psychic" was ready to read, but when my family member reluctantly put her hand out, the woman "sensed" that she wasn't supposed to be there - and got angry with her.
"You aren't even supposed to be here...," the psychic said with a scowl on her face. "I know...," my relative said. And, then she walked out - but not before the psychic said, "don't ever come back." And my relative eagerly obliged.
This psychic didn't know anything about her, and my relative came in without "diverging negativity" to the experience. But, my relative was a growing Christian, and she knew at a young age that psychic readings were a Christian no no. I think when she met the psychic, there was a literal spiritual battle going on, and the two of them played spiritual agents. Ultimately, my relative was deemed a threat if she stayed.
The psychic knew what she had in her; her spirit was tussling round inside. She had, though, insight from whatever "hosts" she was using for her psychic shows to recognize those who would or did forsake the Holy Covenant of God - as per Daniel 11. She got power on LOAN.
My relative should have stayed away in general, but not every charlatan or real practitioner of psionics and divination for gain is easy to spot. There are some who live in the world everyday, hiding in plain sight.
Which, is why we need the Holy Spirit to guide us in all things.
