Re: Do people really believe that psychics are demonic?

Oh okay! Well, you will have to give me an example of something someone said in your church that they claimed was a message from God that didn't have nothing to do with the last days before Jesus' return. I've never been encounter with so-called prophesy in the church... I just don't believe in it (meaning the telling of prophesy/messages that have nothing to do with Christs' return) because of what the Bible says...
Here are some. This lady (whom I never met) told my best friend (lives in another state) that God told her to pray for me. We only know each other through my best friend (who knows us both). Apparently we both discuss the Word with my friend, so the lady knows that I'm really into bible study.
Anyhow, she told my friend to tell me that she had a vision to pray for me, and that it spooked her like something bad was going to happen to me.
It really pissed me off actually, and I discarded it. It came with no specifics, and didn't line up with the Word. I was wondering why in the world did she even bother to tell her to tell me that?
Another lady whose husband is a preacher told me that she had a vision from God that I was going to be very successful. This lady was very lazy...half worked...half took care of her kids...cheats on her husband...just doesn't even try. Here I am struggling with 3 children (she has 4), and trying to work and go to school. So I'm like...ya think? Clearly I'm not doing all of this work just to stay the same.
My cousin met a man from another church. He walked up to her and just started telling her stuff. He said she was going to move into a red brick house soon and gave details about it. He also said that her marriage was going to go through some things, but it would be alright and God was with her. Within the next year she moved into that house, and her husband left her with no notice and moved to California for 3 months. He came back and they worked it out and are together to this day.
That one I think was crazy too.
But the point of my original post before I got off topic with all of this was about Jonah. He was sent to tell the people of Ninevah (from memory so forgive me if this is not 100% correct), to change their ways. It had nothing to do with the coming of Jesus or His return, yet was still a valid prophesy.
Now I've written so much, I don't know what I was writing about to begin with...LOL.
