 Christianity
A great deal of Christians including me do not believe in seeing psychics. I think the more Christians study the Bible the more they realize it is not for them. They should only have faith in God (Christ) to lead their future. The future is not set in stone. I really think psychic readings and Christianity seriously conflict with each other. I also think someone attempting to tell you your future can mess with your mind and is not healthy. Maybe this is the reason I started to stop believing in Syliva. I started to read the Word and realized that she was not for me. She also sells necklaces on her website which reminds me of idols.
Isaiah 41:21-23; 42:8,9 - God challenged the idols to prove they are gods by predicting the future. He rests His claim to Deity on His ability to predict the future. He clearly affirms that no one but the true God can predict the future.
Hence, God says no power but His can really predict the future. Men who claim to be able to do it, are claiming the power of God (regardless of their intent).
1 Corinthians 13:8-10 - God did miracles in the age when His written word was not complete. By God's supernatural power, men revealed His will and confirmed by miracles that it was His word (Mk. 16:20; Acts 14:3; Heb. 2:3,4). Since the written word (that which is perfect - Jas. 1:25) has come, God no longer gives men the power of prophecy.
Hence, no one today can predict the future by the power of God. Anyone who claims to do it, is not doing it by God's power. If he claims to do it by some supernatural, spirit force, that power must not be God's power. It must be a form of occult divination, condemned by God. [Cf. Acts 8:14ff; 1:22; Jude 3; etc.]
