A priest of the Russian Orthodox Church said that the gift of prophecy is given from above.
He explained that not everyone who considers themselves a visionary truly has one.
True prophets are in close contact with God, and their abilities are confirmed by the church, writes the publication Kulik .
The priest calls on Orthodox people to be careful when trusting psychics, whose abilities may not be divine, but demonic.
According to him, false prophets only mislead people and cause spiritual harm.
He also warned believers against contact with psychics, as these interactions are harmful to the soul.
The priest called for believing only those prophets whose gift is in close connection with God.
False prophets only pretend to have special powers. Contact with them can harm the soul and lead astray.
