In these moments, something is happening in the spiritual realm. Maybe she’s frustrated with something or going through a hard time.

Let’s say I’m talking with a friend, and I begin to sense that she feels a certain way. What can burden bearing look like in an everyday setting? The Bible talks about burden bearing in Galatians 6:2 (NASB):īear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. If you’re prophetic at all, learn to understand how the gift of burden bearing works, so you can use it the way God intended and experience the glorious freedom He has for you as His child. The prophetic capacity to sense things is a blessing from God, but if we don’t realize what’s happening with our gift-or how to deal with what we’re sensing-these burdens can become weights that push us toward exhaustion. I feel sad and tired right now, and I don’t know why.”

Or maybe you felt something very different: “This place feels so HEAVY. Have you ever driven through a town and found yourself feeling a certain way? “Whoa-what’s going on here? This is a great place!” We can feel things about other people, and we can even sense what’s going on in places. One amazing aspect of the prophetic gift is being able to sense what’s going on around us. Do you feel a lot of different emotions, and you don’t know where they’re coming from?
