Accepting Your Mediumship Gift: Don’t Be Afraid of Who God Created You to Be
The Mediumship Gift is a God-given Gift
One thing I want to emphasize is that it is okay to accept your mediumship gift. It is okay to acknowledge
what you experience, explore your spirituality, and embrace the person you believe God created
you to be.
Not everyone will understand. Some people may question you, judge you, or even distance
themselves from you because your experiences fall outside what they consider normal. I know
firsthand how difficult that can be when you have the mediumship gift.
My First Experiences as a Child With My Mediumship Gift
My own experiences with the mediumship gift and the spiritual world began when I was around six years old, in the first grade. I remember the timing so clearly because I can still picture the home we lived in while
Ms. Anderson was my first-grade teacher. I would have been six or seven years old.
During that time, I experienced something that, as a child, I could only describe as terrifying. It was my most challenging time of learning with my mediumship gift. There was a malevolent entity that seemed to haunt me day and night. It knew I could see and sense its presence. I couldn’t see it in the same way I saw the people around me, but I could perceive it through what I can only describe as my spiritual eyes and feelings (clairvoyance and clairsentience).
I knew exactly where it would be in the basement, and I could sense that its presence was evil.
There were times when it seemed to chase me up the basement stairs, getting so close that I
felt it was almost going to catch me.
Nighttime became my worst enemy. I dreaded going to bed because I knew that, sooner or later,
it would find its way to me. As I lay in bed trying to fall asleep, I could sense its presence, and it
seemed to take pleasure in frightening and tormenting me. This was a trying time with my mediumship gift, but it ultimately taught me valuable discernment.
Chicago winters could be bitterly cold, and I would often wake up in the middle of the night
needing to use the bathroom. But I was too terrified to get out of bed. The entity would stand
beside my bed, glaring down at me with what I perceived as hatred and malice.
Sometimes, it would look at me through the window beside my bed. I could feel its intentions without it ever
having to touch me (clairsentience). I remember it wanting me to open my eyes and look directly
at it, almost as if it were daring me to acknowledge its presence. I was so frightened that I would
sometimes urinate on myself rather than risk getting out of bed.
Unfortunately, that meant I would wake up to a spanking the following morning. Who would
believe me? I couldn’t explain what I was experiencing, and I certainly didn’t know how to make
anyone understand why I was so afraid to get out of bed in the middle of the night. At that age,
how could I even begin to try to articulate these experiences to my mother? All I knew was that I believed something was waiting for me, and I was terrified of what might happen if I got up. The mediumship gift sure didn’t feel like a gift during that time.
Years later, my aunt, who was also spiritually sensitive, came to visit. She told us that she
sensed an evil presence in the home as well. I cannot adequately describe the relief I felt
hearing someone else acknowledge what I had experienced.
As a child, I had felt so alone and frightened. Knowing that someone else sensed something too made me feel that perhaps I wasn’t alone in what I had been experiencing. But why did we alone only KNOW? I was so grateful to find out that she, too, had the mediumship gift.
As time went on, I also learned something unsettling about the history of that home. Before our
family moved in, a man who had lived there had died by suicide in the very basement where I
had sensed the entity.
Looking back on my childhood experiences, I developed my own understanding of what may have happened. Through what I would describe as an inner knowing (claircognizance), I felt that this man had been influenced by the malevolent presence and that, in my perception, taking his own life was not something he truly wanted.
(Later, as a Christian, I would make a correlation to the Bible and understand when it said that God will have mercy on who he chooses to have mercy on that this was one of those situations where the man did not
want to harm himself, but he was influenced by the entity.)
The Mediumship Gift: He Knew You Before You Were in Your Mother’s Womb:
So, why should I or anyone be ashamed of something we believe our Creator placed within us?
We didn’t choose how we were created, what sensitivities we might have, or what makes us
different. God made each of us uniquely, with different qualities, strengths, and abilities.
Even the Bible speaks about the different gifts God gives us. The mediumship gift is simply one of those God-given gifts.
Romans 12:6 (KJV) says:
“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us…”
And 1 Peter 4:10 (KJV) reminds us:
“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another…”
Another scripture that has always resonated with me is 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV):
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
These scriptures remind me that we should not live our lives consumed by fear. I believe God
created each of us with unique qualities and abilities, and we should never feel ashamed of
being different.
I also recognize that not everyone will interpret these scriptures or spiritual experiences the
same way I do. The Bible does not specifically identify mediumship as one of these gifts, and
Christian traditions differ in how they interpret spiritual experiences and communication with the
deceased. I respect that. I am sharing my personal beliefs and experiences, not suggesting that
everyone must interpret Scripture or spirituality exactly as I do.
For me, the important thing is that whatever abilities we believe we have should be approached
with love, humility, wisdom, discernment, and good intentions. The mediumship gift is the same. It is a gift of service just as all gifts are.
You do not need everyone’s approval to accept yourself. You do not need to convince anyone
that your experiences are real or make them believe what you believe.
If you feel that God has placed something special within you, take the time to understand it.
Learn, pray, use discernment, establish healthy boundaries, and never allow someone else’s
fear or judgment to make you ashamed of who you are.
You should never have to live in shame because your experiences, sensitivities, or spiritual
journey look different from someone else’s. You can remain grounded in your faith, seek understanding, exercise discernment, and still embrace the mediumship gift as who you believe God created you to be.
I, personally, identify as a Christian and a very Spiritual person.
Our Creator did not make us all the same. Embrace who you are, have faith in your journey, and
never apologize for being uniquely you.
