Then why are so many of us thrown out of churches when our gift begins to develop?

What gift? Like I said it sounds like a psychic reading to me. Being thrown out of church is not evidence that what is going on is genuine

No, no, no. Not thrown out over some alleged psychic reading. Thrown out over the ability to preach, hear from God, receive visions, and discern spirits.
