From Answers.com:

nec·ro·man·cy (nÄ•k'rÉ™-măn'sÄ“) n.
1. The practice of supposedly communicating with the spirits of the dead in order to predict the future.
2. Black magic; sorcery.
3. Magic qualities.

Nope, not guilty of any of this. When I pray to a member of the Church Triumphant, I ask them to lay my prayers on the alter of the Lord, I ask them to intercede for me, with the implicit knowledge that all prayers are ultimately directed to the only One who has the authority to answer. God is the focus of our prayers and the source of all answers, both recognized and unrecognized.

You ability to see into the hearts of the prayerful is quite a "gift".

In direct and complete contradiction of 1 Timothy 2:5...

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."

God is the focus of our prayers

Obviously not, as you just told us.
