What does that have to do with a "word of knowledge"?

And yes, I have heard people say words of comfort to me when I needed to hear it. But no, I have NEVER had anyone give some specific bit of info that they would have had no way of knowing.

It's really humbling and intimidating at first. You realize how much of an open book your entire life is to God.

That is exactly how psychic readings go. And they all claim a dead spirit guide is leading them and giving them this information.
I'm not done with her yet.

I think you might be judging prematurely. I had a nice conversation with one woman about seeking God and how God's gifts are greater than anything claimed by a psychic. She plans on finding a Spirit filled church.

I don't know where this conversation will lead.

I understand what you're saying Prax. However, I strongly felt the name Michael, Mike, or Mark. I had NEVER seen the picture of the young man before and no information was shared prior. As it turns out... the young man in the picture was named Michael, loved ones called him Mike. His father is named Michael. And... the poster's brother is named "Mark". It was exciting. I nailed every male involved with this kid.

That's three coincidences in one sentence. What are the odds?

The confusing emotions sentence really doesn't say much. But she did say that they were highly emotional blaming themselves.

Then I saw in the Spirit a nephew that wasn't blood. Again, another coincidence?

Most television psychics make something like 23 general statements and hit on 2 or 3 and focus there. I hit dead on in almost every sentence. That amazed me. God is truly awesome...never misses.

Re: Testing Your Spiritual Gifts:

Chris, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 1000.

One chance!

I'm seeing two digits. Maybe three. And I'm pretty sure it's an odd number.

How'm I doing?

I have! And I would have lost my mind if it hadn't happened.

That's not how it works Randy. lol

If it did work that way... I'd play the lotto.

For me... I pray and center myself. On the site I look at a photo and pray for some insight. I might get a strange "snap shot" in my head. Normally it's really random like. For example: a park, a car, a tool box, a dresser. I might hear a phrase like, "The food's terrible!" and it's over. Or something like a video clip, like someone jogging. Sometimes I see a big bold capital letter, sometimes I'll see a word spelled out in cursive. Sometimes these things come in a quick series of "snap shots". Sometimes I feel a wave of emotion. Then, as I express what I'm seeing/feeling, I might feel goose-bumps and a tingly sensation throughout my body, like when you hear a really awesome song for the first time. Then they come in strong and suddenly it stops just out of the blue.

Had somebody here on AFF tell me he could read my mail. I said go ahead. He didn't.

Can you read my mail?
