I try.  Really.  I do.

I try to not bring up my own beliefs.  Quoting verses?  I know it’s not some sort of Bible Sword drill competition.  Sharing a song?  No, I’m not trying to stuff my faith and beliefs onto someone.

But when it comes to dealing and working with a God-given natural ability to see spirits, I have to rely on my own faith and walk with God.  This is how I personally handle it.

I’ve been asked, “How can you be a Christian and a spirit medium?”

And my reply is usually the question, “And you don’t think I think about that?”

It hasn’t been easy to believe in a God who condemns me because of a gift He gave me.  I didn’t get this from books or an online course.   This is when I throw my hands up and make a gesture of “I dunno.”  It’s just there, along with lots of praying for understanding and discernment.

There has been many times I have tried to walk away from my faith in Christ Jesus.  It hasn’t worked.  Time and time again, God proves that He is a constant, never changing presence.

I talk to and read for people who represent all religions and spiritual beliefs.  This use to worry me too.  How was I going to relay messages and not offend if I didn’t know how to relay the information?   Sort of like, “My God shows me your God.”  I’m still learning how to pronounce names.

One time (here’s the story), I was reading for my niece’s friend who is Muslim.  Her father made an appearance.  This has been awhile, so I don’t remember all the details.  But she was going through a struggle and didn’t know what to do.  What am I shown?  This spirit holding up a book.  Of course, in my mind, it’s the Bible.

I must have looked horrified.  She looked at me as if to say, “Oh no!”  But I finally came to my senses, and explained, “In my mind, I’m seeing a Bible.  But your father would be showing me the Koran….correct?”  This meant so much to her, because her father was a devout Muslim in life and would be telling her to look to Allah for answers and strength.

It didn’t matter if I didn’t know the exact terms of her faith.   The message was conveyed.

After several other experiences, I don’t worry about it much anymore.  Wishing I had my World Religion notes sometimes, but have made some wonderful friends who are not offended when I ask questions.

It’s a wonderful world that we live in.
