Spirit vision spiritual gift?

idk about 'spirit vision' i know in the bible some people were 'seers' (vidente in spanish) idk if that the correct word, they could see stuff, also the discerment of spirits in the NT, which would let you detect spiritual problems

Hi Dave Darling I haven't much of your posts around and was hoping things were going well for you. I don't know about your spiritual journey with the Holy Spirit and Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the one who appoints these gifts to believers to help them walk with their faith and for the body of the Church which he is the head of. He knows what is the most suited for each indvidual. Try not to compare your gifts with others as if you have them they are right for you.

I will say this, I was given one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit at 17 and that was one of the gifts you mentioned. I served in the church for a period in my youth with this with visions that was approved by the ministers as accurate. Anyway, I was told that this was being done because of its protective qualities in my life. I have seen this in my later life when I had a spiritual attack and the gifts were activiated the protective qualiites. I have never asked for any gifts in my life and myself I never would. Just keep on trusting in blind and love to the Lord our God, keep on praying and he will be earnest with you. I will say drinking Holy water that is blessed can be a useful addition for some peoples spiritual who are seeking gifts of the spirit and prayer and showing some commitment as well to God.

Aura isn’t a term you’ll usually hear in christian circles. It’s typically associated with the new age and occult. Those who engage in reiki or related forms of energy healing mention the same. You may also hear similar claims from mediums and psychics too. The gift of discernment operates differently with those who possess it. The best correlation I’ve found is through the senses. That’s how they detect the spirit. It’s more than a feeling.

I would be curious to know their background. Everyone in the church wasn’t raised in that setting and there’s a lot of mixture. Be careful about proclamations and words spoken over you. You don’t know the spirit behind it and shouldn’t accept everything you hear. Everyone in the church isn’t walking with God. Take everything you hear in prayer and let the Lord reveal the truth.

why not ask? i asked for the gift of spiritual discernment 13 years ago in response to hearing two preachers on a podcast talk about them. i "knew" one of them was deceived, and afraid of the gift of discernment, so i prayed for him, and 6 months later he did ask for it and said "that gift is more powerful than the gift of prophecy" --years later i realized, i basically had that gift already, which is why i "knew" the pastor was deceived into believing a lie about how that gift works.

Some say there are three different kinds:

discerning of different types of spirits, from God or not, or human but separated from the body.
discernment of different types of human traumas that affect them spiritually speaking.
discernment of a person's true motive (the spirit behind their actions or intent)

Only recently for the first time in my life have i spiritually known someone's intentions, except in one prior case where i saw in a dream 2 people conspire together to accuse me.
So many christians say satan can't read minds, cant know whats in a persons heart. i do not believe that to be true, which is why i'm a bit skeptical of this latest experience i had where i "knew" someone's motives.

i've never seen a person's aura but part of my mind (not me) can see people's spirits. as in the actual spirit of the person that gives life to the body. and they are not all the same. so for example one time i felt something in me become suddenly joyful that my coworker had arrived at work. i was facing away from the front door behind another door.. I asked myself later: "how did you know she was at the door"? and i hear back "her spirit is amazing!" -its only recently that i'm beginning to be able to "see" what that part of my mind can see.. and.. its interesting.

but basically i'm on the dissociative spectrum and part of my mind had a relationship with God before i existed. due to unresolved trauma and motives for what to do about my ex wife, we are not integrated. nor may ever be.. which is rather hard to accept.

Hi Johnasen, thank you. It is just not my style and how I am to ask for gifts of the Holy Spiirt. God I believe knows what I need and I leave him to care for those needs for me. In the attack I did read Psalm 24 for those who are in the spiritual kingdom. I wouldn't say anyone else shouldn't ask for these gifts. It is up to them as long as they are doing so for the best reasons, God will respond accordingly in the best way for them.

To me all gifts are suited for the individiual. Some may not want any gifts. I noticed during the attack I could note the different voices/perhaps spirits and noted that in a thread in this about the gifts and the protective qualiites they can have. My hearing is very sensitive as well and I have said to others that Jesus also had very sensitive hearing to as well to probably be hearing the plans as evil as they was hatching.

I understand.

due to my own childhood traumas i really have no concept of asking God for anything. same with my brothers. if you wanted something, you go get it yourself. -i will say however my younger brother has no problem asking God what to do. and that includes "what preventative maintenance on my car, house, etc, next"

however there's a part of me that does not have that problem with God at all. i've asked for things that i should perhaps not asked for but are permissible.

Discernment often works with other gifts in tow. I would equate the first with it for certain and the second could be made evident through a word of knowledge as well. The third can be revealed through wisdom too. Many have multiple spiritual working in unison to help them accomplish their purpose.

That’s why I mentioned wisdom previously. It assists you in reading people. You can‘t solve a problem without knowledge and understanding. While discernment can reveal the root or source of the problem it doesn’t tell you why but wisdom can. Satan communicates through three methods internally. Your thoughts, feelings and actions. It’s not that he reads your mind. He studies your behavior and puts landmines in response. His entrapment is custom designed.

I don’t how I would receive that. They’d have to be a very mature christian I’ve had the ability to watch for many years and see their relationship with the Lord up close and I still might rebuke it. There are some revelations that must come from the Holy Spirit. I wouldn’t accept them from a human.

The other thing that comes to mind is why. Gifts and talents are bestowed for a reason. The Lord doesn’t give us these abilities just because. There’s a mission involved and I’d look for evidence along those lines. I’ve seen the same within myself. Everything He gave me has a reason. Even if I don’t understand its purpose as of yet.

My natural response to things of this nature is spiritual warfare. You have to be mindful of lying spirits when you have the gift of discernment. One of the ways they entice you is compliments. They want to get in your head to influence what you say to others.

Hi everyone, something interesting- I know of 2 people at my church that have a very strong spiritual gift, apparently it has a name, it is called "sight" or "spirit vision". Both of these people see auras around people, they can tell if you are sick by your aura. IE if you have a blue glow around you that means something. Both of these people see the exact same thing without communicating with eachother! There may be even more believers out there that have this gift, someone at my other church may have it as well. Is there anyone on this forum that has this gift or knows someone else that does?

We must pay close attention to the examples in scripture.

in the case of my coworker she was raised catholic but went buddist instead, basically accepting things as they are, rather than hoping God will improve your life. . there are some other things i know about her as well and i look forwards to God inspiring her to pray for salvation.. which i have been inspired to pray for.

"Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy." ( I Cor 14:1)

Discernment and discerning of spirits are different.

Discerning of spirits is under the direction of the Holy Spirit. "4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit." (I Cor 12:4) " To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:" v 10

Discerning of spirits -distinguishes the source - either evil or Godly spirits One example -. Even though Ananias took the money and "laid it at the apostles' feet." "But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?" (Acts 5:3) The same for his wife (v 9) Another example - girl followed Paul "and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18 And this she did for many days." Even though she spoke the truth, she had the spirit of divination and Paul cast it out. (Acts 16).

It's not the discerning of evil spirits only.

Then here's an example of the Godly - "And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision." (Gal 2:9).
