  • VoyageLA article on Psychic Medium Troy

    Today we’d like to introduce you to Troy Griffin. They and their team shared their story with us below:

    Troy is a devout, lifelong Christian. He is also an international psychic medium, criminal intuitive, and TV personality seen by more than ten million-plus people. Part of Troy’s private practice work includes communicating with those who have crossed over and using his gifts to help authorities solve the unsolvable cases where tracks had run cold are his life’s work. 

    An intuitive since childhood, Griffin kept his psychic gifts “in the closet,” as he puts it, for fear of being ostracized by his Christian community, which was and continues to be a big part of his life. His family consists of pastors, Christian authors, and other strict religious devotees. Contrary to many of their beliefs, Troy Griffin, too, is a devout believer to which he attributes his gifts. 

    As Griffin points out, “God gave me this gift. I didn’t create it on my own.” When leaders in the Christian community express their disapproval of communication with spirit and other psychic work, Griffin is quick to assert that as Christians, their job is to love, accept, and preach to all people, not just those who suit the conventional paradigm. He covers this topic at great length in a keynote speech he delivered titled “My Psychic Calling: And Why I Answered the Call.” 

    In explaining his process when working with police departments and investigators to assist in solving cold cases, Griffin explains, “I take the basic information, and then I can pick up on the person and begin to see pictures, places, and things visually in my mind. Going online to Google Maps and Google Earth helps me put a visual framework to what I am getting in my mind’s eye. I can look at an area, pick up clues, and assist in that way.” 

    Troy Griffin’s work as a medium, empathic, intuitive, and psychic investigator has taken him throughout the United States, Canada, the UK, Germany, and Australia. 

    He is not hesitant to allow his Christian faith to bleed through into his readings, enabling him to comfort and restore faith in clients who are deeply grieving the loss of a loved one. “Many of the readings I do for private clients are people who have lost children to suicide or to other tragic events, and this has caused them to lose or doubt their faith. They’re looking to repair their faith, and my religious background plays a role in helping them on that journey.” 

    Troy Griffin hopes to change common perception by opening a public dialogue in the media regarding his work as a medium and his Christian faith not being in direct conflict but complimenting one another. 

    With psychic mediums, clairvoyants, and intuitive people coming forward more and more and their abilities becoming more widely accepted in society, Griffin feels it is time to address Christianity and psychic phenomena. “It’s a conversation that needs to be had,” he says. 

    Some on Troy’s current cases includes Don Lewis, Tampa Florida, Kelsie Schelling, Pueblo, CO, Long Island Serial Killer, Long Island, NY, Joey Labute Jr, Columbus, OH, Serial Killer case Atlanta, GA. 

    Troy has been featured on Netflix, ABC News Nightline, ABC News7 NY, ABC News Atlanta, ABC Action News2, Fox News21, The CW San Diego Living, Eye Opener TV, Kansas Wichita Eagle, The Denver Post, Westword, NEWSJS, WLOX ABC Bounce, WMUZ 103.5FM, 98.9 Magic FM, Christians Today, and Psychic Access Talk Radio, among others. Troy’s latest television work on Netflix has been seen by more than 10 million-plus people worldwide. Troy’s recent television work will be seen on CW’s Mysteries Decoded. 

    Psychic Medium Troy has been recognized as one of the Top 10 psychics by Top 10 network. 

    We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
    My journey has not been a smooth road since I was thrown into this line of work by God’s nudge. I did not have a desire to be an intuitive (psychic) in that I did not attend development courses, hang out or socialize with others whom called themselves psychics. For me, my journey began. meeting someone in a gift shop telling me about a missing person. 

    One of my obstacles and challenges early on was whether I could be an intuitive (psychic) and believe in God or be a Christian, putting me on a personal soul search for answers. After 30 days of soul searching, I prayed and said if this is the calling you have for me, God, then I will do it. 20 years later, and here I am. LOL 

    One of the main obstacles I had to overcome is that I am not what I consider a typical “psychic,” a word I am not a fan of. When I think about “psychic,” I think of a flashing neon light in a storefront window, a crystal ball, tarot cards, and/or a person wearing weird clothes. All of this is not me. I do not use any crystal balls, tarot cards, etc. It is all-natural. 

    Other challenges over the years have been the media and press that has written about, talked about, printed about, or did TV blurbs about me and my work. You learn to have broad shoulders, but sometimes it still hurts when people who don’t know you like to say things about you negatively. Try to convince themselves and or their readers that my work is fake, and this is why… blah, blah, blah. 

    And the last challenge I still sometimes have to deal with today is the “TV Psychics.” The ones that people think are “real” because they are on television. When asked about some of them, I explain that these reality tv shows are not 100% reality. There is always scripted parts to it and always a producer who is trying to tell you what to say. 

    Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
    What to know about me… This is hard as I do not like writing or talking about me… 

    I am a lifestyle psychic medium that specialized in life decisions, business, career, life in general. I am well known for being a criminal intuitive which I am in the process of exiting. 

    What makes me different I believe is that my readings or consultations are geared to help my clients move forward or find some closure in life. I care about my clients and use all my natural gifts as a medium, empath, life coach, and life experience to help. It’s now about me, it’s about you and I just the messenger. 

    How do you define success?
    Wow, since success if different for all of us and it is an ever-evolving process, I think success is when one person helps another in a terrible time and space. This could be as simple as being a shoulder to cry on, a soundboard, a mentor, or just someone who helps another.

  • Black Dahlia Murder

    During a recent TV filming centered on a 70-year-old unsolved murder case for a CW show, I found myself in Los Angeles, deeply involved in the story of the victim, Elizabeth Short, famously known as the Black Dahlia. In an unexpected turn, my connection with her abruptly dimmed, a rare occurrence in my nearly two-decade career.

    Throughout my work, when I connect with those who have passed, even in the realm of unsolved cold cases, I often receive visions, glimpses from a vantage point looking down. The departed typically reveal images or scenes that occurred after their passing. I hold a belief that souls linger before fully departing this world.

    For instance, in cases of natural deaths surrounded by family, I can often describe who was present, their positions, gestures, and even items left behind—sometimes extending all the way to the funeral. In cold cases involving victims, they guide me, showing places and moments related to their untimely end.

     

    However, during this particular filming, I encountered an unsettling blackout—a sudden loss of connection that left me questioning my abilities and expertise. Despite this unnerving experience, I remain confident in my skills. Could I be losing this unique gift, I wondered?

    Reflecting on this Thanksgiving Eve, a moment of quiet, I found myself pondering this inexplicable blankness. Curiosity led me to search the internet for the Black Dahlia case—an unusual step for me as I typically avoid high-profile cases, preferring to focus on more recent ones where I might unearth fresh clues or aid ongoing investigations.

    Over the years, despite numerous inquiries, I had never delved into the Black Dahlia case. Yet, when approached by the producer to explore this case, I unexpectedly agreed, driven by the persistent curiosity that surrounded it.

    As I searched online, I stumbled upon an article titled “Black Dahlia Autopsy: What was Elizabeth Short’s Cause of Death.” Intrigued, I clicked and found confirmation of information I had previously relayed to the producers.

    This discovery shed light on the reason for my sudden disconnect.

    “Reportedly, an autopsy revealed the victim’s gruesome cause of death was a fatal blow to the head which caused a brain hemorrhage.”

    It’s fascinating how intuition operates, revealing truths amidst self-doubt. It seems my journey into cold cases is far from over.

    I’ll share details about the show’s airing for those interested in exploring further.

  • More people are getting away with murder. Unsolved killings reach a record high.

    More murders across America are going unsolved, exacerbating the grief of families already reeling and worsening the largely cracked trust between police and the public, especially communities of color most affected by gun violence.

    “I haven’t had any word,” says Mark Legaspi about the murder of his cousin, friend and business partner Artgel Anabo Jr., 39, who was known as Jun. He was shot just outside their popular Filipino fast-food restaurant Lucky Three Seven in East Oakland, Calif., May 18, 2022. “It’s still emotional every day coming in here, you know?” Legaspi says nodding toward the street where Jun was murdered.

    Oakland detectives released security camera footage and the license plate number of the suspected get-away car. Anabo’s family believes the suspect is a man who sold Anabo a truck that turned out to be stolen. Still, there’s been no break in the case and no word.

    “It’s definitely frustrating. Justice hasn’t been served,” Legaspi says. “I mean it’s almost a year. I would like to know something. I don’t get no answers,” he says noting that he and his family haven’t heard from Oakland homicide detectives for months. “You know, if there’s anything, you know, even if they didn’t do anything, that’d be nice to know. Instead of us hoping.”

    The U.S. among the worst at solving murders in the industrialized world

    Legaspi’s frustration and pain are shared by hundreds of families of murder victims in Oakland – and across the country – whose cases remain unsolved.

    While the rate at which murders are solved or “cleared” has been declining for decades, it has now dropped to slightly below 50% in 2020 – a new historic low. And several big cities, including Chicago, have seen the number of murder cases resulting in at least one arrest dip into the low to mid-30% range.

    “We saw a sharp drop in the national clearance rate in 2020,” says Prof. Philip Cook, a public policy researcher and professor emeritus at Duke University and the University of Chicago Urban Labs who has been studying clearance rates for decades. “It reached close to 50% at that time nationwide, which was the lowest ever recorded by the FBI. And it hasn’t come up that much since then.”

    That makes the U.S. among the worst at solving murders in the industrialized world. Germany, for example, consistently clears well over 90% of its murders.

    While reasons behind the drop are multi-faceted, Cook and other experts warn that more people getting away with murder in the the U.S. is driving a kind of doom loop of mutual mistrust: low murder clearance rates impede future investigations which in turn potentially drive up killings in some communities where a lack of arrests undermines deterrence and sends a message that the police will not or cannot protect them.

    “Communities that are especially impacted by gun violence believe that the police are ineffective or indifferent, and as a result, they’re less willing to cooperate and provide information the police need to have successful investigations,” says Cook, who has several research articles on the topic coming out.

    “It is undermining whatever trust there is in the police. And it’s a vicious circle,” Cook says.

    “I certainly don’t believe in anyone getting away with murder”

    Oakland, Calif., is a prime example of that vicious circle. The city’s per capita homicide rate remains abnormally high and its murder solve rate is among the lowest in the nation, hitting just 36% last year. If you take out the handful of older, “cold” cases that were solved during 2022, the clearance rate in Oakland just 27%, an analysis by the S.F. Chronicle shows.

    “Well, I certainly don’t believe in anyone getting away with murder. These cases are never closed,” says Drennon Lindsey, an Oakland deputy chief who formerly led the department’s homicide division. “We never give up, you know. And I also think we can only get better.”

    Lindsey says the veterans among her 16 detectives are often handing two dozen or more cases at a time, far above the federal recommendation that detectives carry an average of only four to six new homicide cases per year.

    In addition, she says, an antiquated case management data system, which the city is working to replace, is another reason behind the painfully low clearance rate. But the biggest one, she says, is too many people are scared to talk with and help the OPD.

    “People don’t want to cooperate, people don’t want to come to court and testify. And they’re afraid of retaliation, of being labeled in their communities as a “snitch.” And we’re often left trying to plea and beg for the community to come forward with information to hold this person accountable for committing murder,” she says.

    But that mistrust is also bred by the department’s chronic dysfunction.

    The department remains under federal oversight and has for two decades. In that time the troubled agency has gone through a dozen leaders. And recently veteran Oakland homicide detective Phong Tran was arrested and arraigned after the Alameda County district attorney’s office accused him of paying a witness thousands of dollars to lie in a murder case that resulted in two men getting life sentences. Detective Tran faces felony charges of perjury and bribery. Those two murder convictions have been tossed out.

    In a statement to NPR, Tran’s attorney Andrew M. Ganz called the charges “baseless” and lashed out a District Attorney Pamela Price for treating “murderers like heroes.”

    Price’s office in a statement says it is now reviewing at least 125 murders Tran investigated “to see if we have wrongfully convicted anyone else.”

    “Lying and manipulating a witness are serious violations of the public trust and a threat to the integrity of the judicial system,” Price says. “When the integrity of a conviction is at issue in one case, it raises questions in every other case that the detective has investigated.”

    The “exceptional means” clause and chronic police staffing affect murder clearance rates

    The FBI defines a murder “cleared” if a suspect has been identified and arrested. But a murder can also be declared cleared through what’s known as an “exceptional means.” For example, if a suspect is dead, can’t be extradited or prosecutors refuse to press charges.

    So, criminologists note, even some cities now touting modestly improved murder clearance rates, such as Chicago, are really just artificially boosting their clearance numbers through that “exceptional means” clause.

    The arrest rate per murder if is often a better indicator of how police departments are actually doing at holding killers accountable. Prof. Cook’s research, for example, shows that from 2016 to 2020 the percentage of murders in Chicago with any type of weapon resulting in at least one arrest was just 33%. And in Durham, North Carolina, between 2017 and 2021 just 41% of gun homicide cases resulted in at least one arrest.

    Other reasons for the further decline in murder clearance rates, experts say, include chronic police staffing and recruiting problems, and the fact that more murders are committed with firearms, which can result in fewer witnesses and less physical evidence. In addition, judges, prosecutors and juries have higher evidence and procedure standards than in the 1960s when 90-plus% of homicides were listed as solved.

    Researchers say key ways cities can to try to stop the downward spiral is simply investing more in homicide investigations: improving crime labs, training, DNA testing, computer modeling systems.

    White crosses with the names and ages of the dead grows with every killing

    In front yard of Oakland’s Saint Columba Catholic Church along bustling San Pablo Ave, a garden of simple, wooden, white crosses with the names and ages of the dead grows with every killing.

    Every Jan. 1 “that garden is a garden for about a minute,” says Fr. Aidan McAleenan, St Columba’s pastor looking at the roughly two dozen crosses already posted in the yard. “And then is just gets grows and grows” all year. “My biggest concern, and I prayed about this, there are about 100 people walking around Oakland now who will not be walking around Oakland at the end of the year,” McAleenan says.

    Parishioner Rich Laufenberg makes the wooden crosses and dutifully “plants” them every week or two. “I do it as some kind of service work, I hope, and to let people know that we have a major violence problem here in Oakland,” he says. Regularly, Laufenberg says when placing the crosses he’ll find family or friends of a victim praying or just gazing in stunned silence at the lives cut short≥

    Home Cleansing Smudging.

    There are many reasons a home carries negative energy which some negative energy can be caused by, excessive complaining, arguments, divorce, drugs, alcohol abuse, foreclosures, financial stress, seller doesn’t want to let it go, and death. 

    One of the biggest contributors of negative energy in a home is clutter. Yes, I said it…CLUTTER!

    Have you ever walked through a house or building and just felt uncomfortable?   Walked into a room and a negative feeling came across you? This is the energy we need to remove so we can allow positive energy to flow through the house making the home feel energizing, warm, inviting with positive energy for buyers walking through, and for the new homeowners.

    Clearing a home is a great way to clear the negative energy where the new owner(s) will be happy, relaxed, and feel positive in their new home.

  • Signs of negative energy in house

    Signs of negative energy in house

    Last weekend, I decided to look at a few open houses of homes for sale in my area that were older and historical. I find these homes intriguing as they have stories to tell.

    During my search, I found a home built in 1941 in Benedict Canyon that had been for sale for more than 200 days. As I arrived at the address, I saw a gated entry that led up to a beautiful house, pool, outdoor kitchen, dining area, and an outbuilding above the garage. The view and privacy were amazing!

    Inside the home, I was greeted by an agent who was passionate about real estate and the home. As we walked through the kitchen, I noticed the original features that were kept during the remodeling. We then entered a grand dining room with an out of this world marble table. As we moved towards the back of the house, I noticed that something felt off about the living room, and I mentioned it to the agent. The agent agreed and asked me to elaborate, but I wasn’t sure what I was feeling. I told her that I would look into it later.

    As we were leaving, the agent asked if I knew anything about the area. I replied that I knew people who lived in the canyon but nothing else. Later that day, I received a call from the listing agent who said that the agent at the open house called her and told her that I was a medium who specialized in unsolved murder cases. She mentioned that I had felt something off about the home, and she felt the same. I agreed to look into it and let her know if I found anything.

    After searching the address online, I found articles about the 1969 murder of Sharon Tate by Charles Manson that happened in the canyon. However, the murder did not occur in the home that I visited. I sensed that a telephone interview happened in the living room of the home. I found an article that confirmed this theory and mentioned that people were interviewed at the neighbor’s house after the murders, which is why the living room had bad energy.

    I called the listing agent and shared my findings with her. She was surprised and said that the house next door was where the murders occurred. She mentioned that the house was torn down and replaced with a mansion with a new address due to the number of people who drove by to look at it.

    The home was listed for sale the next day, and I heard that there are still some spirits on the property. It’s strange, but I love it!

  • Who Is Troy Griffin, Tiger King 2’s Psychic Detective, And Does He Know Where Don Lewis Is?

    Who Is Troy Griffin, Tiger King 2’s Psychic Detective, And Does He Know Where Don Lewis Is?

    As America sinks its teeth into a new season of Netflix’s “Tiger King,” it will be hard to miss the psychic detective there to help solve the disappearance of Don Lewis.

    “Tiger King 2” focuses on the mystery surrounding Don Lewis, the missing husband of Carole Baskin, who disappeared from their shared Florida property in 1997. As previously reported, Lewis told Baskin that he planned to wake early the next day to travel to Costa Rica on business. 

    He was never seen again and was declared legally dead in 2002.

    Theories swirled over the years. Notably, Joe Exotic pushed the unfounded rumor that animal rights activist Carole Baskin, Exotic’s rival, killed her own husband and fed him to her big cats. In the latest “Tiger King” installment, Lewis’s family enlisted the help of Troy Griffin.

    Griffin is described in the series as a “Christian clairvoyant empathic psychic medium and psychic detective,” and has his own Youtube channel.

    “I’m a psychic investigator on unsolved cold case murders around the world,” Griffin says. “I’m natural. I never trained for this.”

    Griffin explains he fell into the craft after meeting someone in a gift shop 16 years ago, and that his readings have led to the discovery of bodies in the past.

    “I have to see a picture of the victim because I do remote view as a psychic, where I look into the victim’s eyes,” Griffin says in episode three. “And it’s almost like they’re showing me what happened to them.”

    In an interview with Oxygen.com, Griffin explained the efforts taken in the case of Don Lewis.

    “So, it is all intuitive on this case, with a little bit of research,” Griffin said. “But I actually traveled down to Tampa and did site visits.”

    Griffin joined the Lewis family as they visited the location of Don’s last known whereabouts. He told them there was “bad juju” there before becoming physically ill.

    “When I come across something that is more evil to me, then it just comes on randomly, quickly, unexpected,” Griffin told Oxygen.com. “This particular time, it just made me emotional because I see pictures quite distinct. So when I was at that certain property, the pictures… just flowed through me and broke me down.”

    In “Tiger King 2,” a tearful Griffin tells Don Lewis’s daughter that Don was murdered there on-site “from behind.”

    Others in the series, however, are skeptical of Griffin’s talents.

    “You know, the one thing about people in this whole world, whether it’s Carole Baskin’s world or Joe Exotic’s world, is there’s a lot of people around who wanted 15 minutes of fame,” says John Phillips, the attorney representing the Lewis family. “Mostly, it’s helpful, but sometimes, it’s drama that a family doesn’t need.”

    Oxygen.com asked Griffin his thoughts on those who didn’t believe in his gift.

    “You know, I’m cool with it, and the reason being is because for me, specifically, I didn’t train for my gift. They came on naturally…” said Griffin. “What I came to the conclusion of was that if my gift helped me make a difference or help one person, then it doesn’t matter what anybody else says.”

  • The Sin Of Being Psychic

    The Sin Of Being Psychic

    Many people have a misconception about psychics: Fakes, charlatans, or witchcraft practitioners. I’m going to go out on a limb here and come out of the closet with some of my own insights in the matter.

    These perceptions are false, at least in my experience. True, some people claiming to be psychic may be fake or try to scam you to make a quick buck. However, every psychic I know personally, including myself, are genuine and considerate and frankly, I’m tired of society putting all “Psychics” into one category!

    The term psychic is overrated and misused quite a bit. Everyone that walks on this earth has some type of psychic ability whether they choose to recognize it or not. My kids like to jokingly tell their friends that I’m psychic. Kidding aside, I do take it as a compliment, because my children have witnessed the counsel I give others and my empathic ability to know what kind of trouble they are in before they have a chance to tell me. I constantly have to tell their friends that I’m not psychic; I’m just the messenger.

    “More than anything else, this new century demands new thinking; we must change our materially based analyses of the world around us to include broader, more multidimensional perspectives.” Albert Einstein

    I don’t claim to know the future and what the meaning of life is by means of staring into a crystal ball. Most psychics I know don’t make those claims either. But I do have spiritual gifts that allow me to “tune in” to other people’s energies. The information download I get from their energy gives me the ability to counsel others with their current situation. To the best of my ability, I try to translate the energy I am feeling into words of what spirit wants me to relay to them.

    The message will hopefully guide them to a better understanding of what their “soul purpose” is or to resolve issues from other lifetimes. I don’t like to call myself psychic, but I’m very intuitive and in tune with my own spiritual gifts. I sometimes refer to it as my inner GPS.

    Everyone in my circle of “psychic” friends is Christian and they love God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The problem is that society and even our fellow Christians make us feel like misfits. Christianity has taught us that these gifts are wrong and evil. We don’t fit in to traditional church congregations so most of us don’t go to church because of that. But we still worship God, love Jesus, and the term “spirit” we are referring to is the Holy Spirit.

    “For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 4:4

    The Holy Spirit is the messenger that is channeled through our physical bodies to relay the message. And those of us that do go to church hide our gifts and don’t talk about it to others in the church congregation for fear of being labeled an outcast–or even excommunicated! Can you believe it? Christians judging others that don’t fit into their mold of how they think others should worship. 

    It’s a good thing for us “psychic misfits” that God does not need labels to know who we truly are and what is truly in our hearts. People get lost in labeling by trying to fit into something others cannot recognize or be comfortable with. It’s taken me a long time to be at peace with my spiritual gifts and the relationship I have with God. I don’t question God anymore as to why I have these gifts; I just accept them and try to use the gift I have been blessed with that is pleasing to Him. People’s misconceptions about these type of psychic abilities don’t bother me anymore.

     to 

    Instead of judging me for my so-called sinful gifts, people need to focus on their own spirituality. Are they walking true and living in a honest way? Is the path they are on right for them? Because in the end, these are the only things that matter. To know yourself and live in a righteous manner, being true to your deepest self, is all that matters in your own relationship with God. It’s definitely something that is missing in modern society today. There is too much focus on the material world and not enough focus on the spiritual plane.

    The tree has many branches and the spiritual path for me may not be the same spiritual path for you, but that doesn’t mean that I’m less of a Christian because I don’t walk on your path. God knew us before we were even born, and He determined the gifts and designated our callings, even though some of us ignore them. God watches and patiently waits for us to claim those spiritual gifts. So if these psychic abilities have been with you from birth and not something you searched for in cults or rituals, then it is pretty safe to say those psychic gifts are from God and not the devil.

    I can’t remember a time in my life that I was not in tune with my intuition. My sister used to like to call us the “Wonder Twins,” and we would touch our mood rings together and shout, “Wonder Twin Power, Activate!” Being so young, the Wonder Twins from Super Friends was really the only people in our world we could relate our gifts with. No one told us or even taught us how to use these gifts, we just had an “inner knowing”. We thought it was normal to be this way. We could just look at each other and carry on a conversation in our minds without speaking a word. The Wonder Twins had that same telepathic ability.

    My sister and I are not twins, but very close and thick as thieves. Just like a mother is in tune to her newborn baby, my sister and I had that same energy connection. Even after we grew up and spent years apart from each other, as soon as we are in each other’s presence, the connection is still there. The connection never fades: We still think alike, finish each other’s sentences, read each others minds just like the Wonder Twins! And the love we have for each other is unlike any love I have ever felt for anyone with the exception of my children. This is not to say that I don’t love my other siblings just as much, but it’s just a different level.

    Sometimes the information I receive does seem to freak people out, but by the end of the session, I’m always told, Thank you, that is what I needed to hear.” And I always respond by saying, “Don’t thank me, thank God! I’m just the messenger.” Sometimes what we already know within us needs to be heard audibly from someone else for us to confirm our own intuition. My girlfriend and I do that all the time. We ask each other advice or relate to each other our own intuitive feelings and 99% of the time we both come up with the same answer. We love getting confirmation from each other. And she always ends the conversation, “Thank God I’m not crazy!”

    “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” John 14:12

    Most people are comfortable with the term Intuitive. So that is the term I choose to use regarding my own gifts to help others feel more comfortable, rather than using the term psychic. Intuition is like a whisper from God. It’s a nudge within that leads you to “knowing” things about yourself and others without ever actually getting into a conversation with an individual face to face. Intuition is all we have to rationalize our non-physical experiences in a material world. We are all spiritual beings. The Physical body is just the vehicle our Spirit resides in on this earth. Our spiritual self is always connected to God’s energy. For it is His energy our spirits were created from and born into the physical body. We are physical by earthly nature, but spiritual by God’s Will. God gives us all spiritual abilities; however, some of us are more aware than others.

    To give God thanks for our spiritual gifts is to put God higher than yourself. If you give yourself credit for the spiritual gift and not acknowledge Him, then you turn these special abilities into a “craft”. Psychic abilities are not evil nor are they a sin. It is how you choose to utilize your psychic abilities that will determine your status as God centered or in the pursuit of sin. I don’t necessarily think psychic gifts are the issue, but rather society’s view of the theology behind psychic abilities. It is not my place to tell someone whether I agree with their spiritual path or not or that their gifts are evil or sinful. The greatest sin of all is to tell someone something or do something that causes another person to stumble in their own Christian faith and beliefs. If you don’t believe in psychics, then that’s okay. I respect your spiritual path and still honor you as a spiritual being Spiritual gifts must be used with great discretion and care. We are all servants of God and to claim fame or glory for those gifts would not be advisable in my own beliefs. Psychics don’t get to choose the information they are given. They can ask for certain information, but that doesn’t mean they will get it all of the time. Spirit decides what will be given to the person receiving the message. A psychic should never give you information without your permission. To do otherwise is unethical and is against the Universal Law of Freewill. Everything happens in divine timing so if you don’t get the message you want, then it’s not time for you to know, but that doesn’t mean the psychic is a fake.

    Psychics are not all-knowing special beings who are given access to all information, who can merely call it up to serve their own purposes. Psychics are the channels through which specific information flows for the benefit of the person getting the reading. They do not get to choose the information they receive only to deliver what they are given. They are just simply the tools used to deliver the messages God has for you.

    Yes, there are people out there that are fraudulent. But keep in mind there is always going to be a few bad apples in the bunch, just as there are bad apples in all groups of people. So keep an open mind and learn to use your own intuition. Follow your heart and most of all use prayer and meditation to discern your own feelings about the matter. We are all here to serve each other, learn from each other, teach each other, but most of all to love one another as God loves us.
