It has been my experience, if you use these gifts for greed, or
manipulation, you are "Cut off". The purpose is to spiritually grow,
enlightenment, to draw closer to God, and to help people whenever
possible. I don't bother to do it to prove a point to anyone, anymore, I
have nothing at all to prove. If someone can't handle it, or doesn't
believe it, that's their business, not mine. I got too much work to do,
you know? Gifts from God aren't to be trivialized, and what you will
find is that as you use them in the right way, your consciousness, and
power will grow in accordance with this.
Sometimes you can't use them to help someone because of their destiny,
or perhaps soul choices. My mother was recently in the hospital again.
I got a "Do not intervene", that her soul simply wanted her to learn
some lessons. However, I got that I could in fact, influence the
environment she was in, but not her directly. Therefore, I increased
the energy in her environment so as to be more helpful in a beneficial
outcome, and not impede on her choice of growth methods. Free will is
of paramount consideration, as hard as it is to realize, some people
simply choose to suffer and there isn't anything you can do about it,
and neither will God - unless they ask.
The "Church" has done tremendous damage to humanity by lumping virtually
everything into some category that makes it sound like you can't do it,
or ascribes some horrible hellfire/damnation for it. "Divination" in
the most pure definition throughout history is really contacting
spirits, and I agree, not a good idea. However the definition of
divination was extended outward to include virtually *EVERYTHING* to do
with using your "Intuition", which is so silly it defies all explanation
- if you weren't supposed to use your intuition, and just your logical
mind, then why would you have it in the first place?!? In reality, if
you wanted to constrain cosmic wisdom to yourself, and keep it from
others, this is the perfect guise in which to do it. Then you go around
burning or executing those that discover it, and their own intuitive
connection with God, and the secret is kept. (the fear here, would be
those common folk, would discover those in power are a bunch of liars,
and this is why they want to prevent this wisdom) Fundamentalists today
run and scream away if someone mentions psychic reading. But then they
go back inside, and "Prophesy" for each other, which is a thinly veiled
term to make psychic readings sound "Friendly" to Christians.
The first, and wisest choice for spiritual advancement, in my opinion,
is to run - really fast - away from established dogmatic doctrines and
institutions. (in whatever form they come) I know a whole lot of people
that have attended "Church" for decades, and aren't anymore spiritually
advanced, or compassionate than they were on /*day one*/. Anyone see the
problem with that picture? If you want to "save" someone, get them OUT
of the church, and back to knowing God and his Creations.

This should be discussed on the off topic list where it is actually
being discussed. It can be done for demonstration purposes. And it
can be done for cheating on cards, for a little while. However doing
so will decrease your consciousness (integrity is tied up with that),
and will lower your consciousness, and at some point you can reach
where you cannot do it at all.
At least for me, my superconsciousness will return wrong answers on
purpose if I try to use it in a manner that is not of the light. I
learned this a few days ago, and now I know. My brother in-law wanted
me to "prove" the point on browsing, and had a multiple choice test he
was taking. I successfully browsed the answer to what he had already
answered (but had the answer covered), but he wanted me to answer one
he had not already answered. It gave a wrong answer then. When I
checked why I got that I was not to use the gift for "cheating" purposes.
