That's one of the most remarkable statements I have ever heard. It's dangerous as well, because God makes people's inward thoughts private, for a reason: it is generally shocking to be exposed with that level of nakedness, and perilous to the seer as well, because these "revelations" can be to persuasively counterfeited by malicious spiritual entities.

I won't expect a public reply on this forum, but could you respond on Private Message?

Sure... I don’t mind the forum. Good people here.

God knows your thoughts. Jesus knows your thoughts.

If you connect to God through Jesus, you too know people’s thoughts. It’s a natural attribute of being filled with the Holy Spirit.

But don’t worry about people knowing your thoughts as the only way you get the ability is if your motives are pure. When I first got the ability, I cried and prayed to God to take it away as I was very afraid that I would hurt someone.

“because these “revelations” can be to persuasively counterfeited by malicious spiritual entities.”

Very true, and they often are. satan will use any wounds in your soul against you. That is why it is so important to stay focused on Jesus and work to cleanse your soul.

I have included a few scriptures which refer to either Jesus or the discernment that comes through the Holy Spirit allowing one to know the thoughts of others.

Matthew 9:4
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

Matthew 12:25
And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Luke 2:35
yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.

Luke 6:8
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
