am i gifted? and if so i wish to meet others please reply.

well i'm sure you guys herd me blab about my girlfriend and our relationship and whatever. but yesterday we broke up. but anywho god gives me direct messages about upcoming events. yesterday i was taking a walk and thinking about my new job i cant wait to start. and during my walk randomly a dominant voice which occured to me a few times put into my thoughts that me and my gf we're going to break up, to be ready and expect it. this message came to me hours before we broke up and later, it happened..

another case is this. i'm very broke at the moment.. i have no food to eat. but anywho when i applied to this job that i really depended on i spent my last dollar to go to the interview, this message came to me. "relax my son, you have the job stay strong and positive for am i the lord your god". the interviewer told me i'll know in about a week. within a hour i get a phone call and i got the job!!

in my heart and mind, i can sense when positive and negative are around. when it's about to happen.

is this the gift the lord and our savior has given me? is this the gift god has given me to help others and my self? please let me know if anyone else get's these experiences. i would love to hear thoughts and opinions and stories so if you may, please share with me. but i truely feel this is a gift the lord has given me.

now i have one more question along with this post.

it's weird.. but here we go
one day when me and my ex we're together, her mom's boyfriend who truthfully i don't like but i respect him and love him regardless as my brother. but anywho he has done evil thing's in his life and still does. some examples rape, drugs, adultry, lies, deception etc. now one day he grabs my arm i guess to speak to me, and has he grabbed me, it burned my arm. the part of my arm that he grabbed swelled up and burned. as in my mind i said when this happened "thou who is in me, is greater then any on earth", and the burn stopped.

can anyone give me an idea? or a opinion? thank you.
 
God speaks to us in many different ways for various reasons and can use anything or anyone he chooses to get our attention. I especially like the jaw bone of an ass in the OT. It's not a gift from God as he talks to all his children, but sometimes we just do not recognize his voice. It could be audible or just as simply God speaking to us through his word or giving someone else a word of wisdom for us. All in all it is pretty cool when it happens.

Your arm story reminds me of something that happened to me years ago. I was working as a cashier and it was Halloween. (I don't do the Halloween thing) It was normal for people to come into the store dressed up. This guy came in all dressed up in full gear of a Satanic priest with amulet, robe etc. etc. When he walked into the store and looked at me the hairs on my arm stood up and I got the chills with the goosebumps. He walked up to the counter to pay for his purchase and when I turned around to pull a plastic bag of the tear strip each bag started coming off on their own one by one and that just does not happen. He looked right at me and gave me a smirk of a smile and then his face went very solemn as he left with his hood still covering his head. At first I was stunned then as he left I prayed for his soul.

It is a shame that only one other person has responded to this.

Obviously we can not know what that voice was and can only guess. You have come to one conclusion but there are other possibilities.

The most likely reason for anyone hearing voices is simply a lack of deep sleep with dreams (REM sleep). If we don't dream enough when we are asleep, eventually we will dream when we are awake. If we include illness, there are a great many conditions that can prompt hallucination, even a mild fever can do it.

Whatever the truth, I do hope your life has improved now.
 
I think the Lord blesses everyone with what might be called something of a "sixth sense." I mean, most people have stories of knowing when things are going to happen or sensing things before they became apparent. I'll give you my example. I committed a (violent) crime. I was charged with a "high misdemeanor," which means its kind of serious, but not a felony--still carried up to 7 years in prison. I might have gone to a state mental hospital. I was, of course, guilty as sin. Anyway, I wasn't a Christian at that point, but I became one in jail (I had 7 months in 23 hour lock down to think about things, lol). I prayed that God would help me get out without a conviction or a stint in the state mental hospital. Seemed impossible, but at some point God gave me this sense that this time--this one and only time--He'd get me out of legal trouble (I'd never been in legal trouble before).

Well, a deal was struck: 1 year Christian Rehab, some anger management and community service afterwards, and I'd be given a dismissal. After that, I could pay to have the record expunged. My parents didn't even have to bail me out--a judge allowed for bail to be "waived" so I could do an out-of-state rehab. And I did it! I eventually got my record expunged.

Anyway, this isn't about me. I'm just saying that I don't believe in psychics and I don't put much stock into visions or mystical experiences--I've had them, they were terrifying, I'd rather just live my life and move on. I think maybe God has given you the gift of discernment, which is great, but I don't think this means you have some kind of "gift" like in the movies. God gives us what we need to accomplish His ends, and sometimes a little bit extra.

jwoods,

God gives many of us gifts and talents. I was told by a pastor a long time ago that we don't have to serve God to keep our talents. Some use them for evil and others to serve the Lord. Pray to the Father, in the name of His Son that your life become a relection of the righteousness He would be proud of. Pray that your "gift" is used in the service of Him rather than evil. Pray for guidance in the area of relationships so that you can enter a "courtship relationship" that will end with the woman the Lord will choose for you instead of meaningless relationships that go nowhere.

The Lord can use anyone, including you. Pray for clarity and obedience. You will have to make changes in you life but the benefits outweigh the "growth pains."

Blessings,
Dee
