1 Samuel 9:9 (Formerly in Israel, if a man went to inquire of God, he would say, "Come, let us go to the seer," because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.)

The Bible was written many many years ago. Before that time, prophets were known and recognized, and called "seers" by the people. But when the Bible had come out, "seers" were then titled as "prophets". Throughout time, society has come up with many phrases and titles. They came up with "sorcery", "magicians", "gypsies", and most recently, "psychics". If you believe in the Bible, you believe in the gift of the spirit is possible.
I do know the Bible says there will be no more prophets. Please know I am not claiming to be one. I am not a prophet. There are spirits and powers, not just of God, but of evil, as well. It is up to us to follow our hearts and choose the right way.
Romans 12: 5,6
" ...so in Christ, we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to His faith"
Please know that my faith is in God. My faith is in Jesus, that He died on the cross for us so that we shall have everlasting life. Because He did this, all my sins are forgiven. Without this belief, I will not be one with God when my time passes, or even now, with the Holy Spirit while I am here.
There are many more references in the Bible to messengers of God, but I chose just a few. Know that we all have work to be done for the Lord. We are His children, made in the image of Him, and He will do with us what we will. If these abilities/gifts were possible back then they are now. Here are a few listed below:
