• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Does God give special powers to people?

Hello. May I humbly ask, does God give special powers to a person or a group of person to punish another person by allowing them to read their mind because they are sinful? Or is mind reading considered unnatural and evil?

I m NOT a mind reader but I m under attack by a group of people that I think can.

They read my mind like an open book, even from a far like in another town or city.

They said it punishment for my sins. Does God allow this?

Its been a constant source of frustration for me since they would get literally ideas directly from my mind. Ideas I used for our livelihood, business/trade secrets.

Are they stealing from me? Or is it considered stealing lets say hypothetically they can really read my mind?

Thank you in advance.

It sounds demonic, in fact its witchcraft... If I were you I would take a stand and tell them to leave in Jesus name, your mind belongs to Christ and not to them. Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world remember that.

My husband has "special powers" or gifts as some people may say.

He can read people hearts.
He can see if they have good intentions.
He has a compass in his brain or heart that will show him the right way.

I always said I was psychic for a few things, but actually I think it's intuition.

But no, considering how people can literally walk up to James Randi and get a million dollars if they can prove they have powers, and it hasn't happened yet, I'm gonna say no.

My psychic powers only works with things I like anyway

I agree that who ever is doing this mind reading sounds like they are of the devil, if they say God is doing it to punish you. Sure Satan can read your mind. He can even tell people what you think. But God will never do this to punish you. God loves you. You are loved.
