I don't know if I'd call it psychic ability, (mostly, because I envision palm readers and the like 
), but there is some kind of spiritual sense to us too. Things that we can't reach in our five senses, yet God still uses to reach us.
Recently, one of our sisses on here was buying a house. She had mixed signals on it -- some for the idea, but others made her uneasy. Yet, everything within her senses said to go for it. And then they learned the one selling the house to them was being investigated for unsavory activities related to selling real estate. Her senses said, "Go for it." God stepped in to make sure they didn't.
I've had the experience of seeing a tiny little flower in the middle of a commercial area in Philly. The plant was intentionally planted there, (part of a pocket garden, so it was intentional landscaping), but it was the wrong time of year for it to be flowering. Yet, I saw the tiny little flower at just the right time.
That's all it was. Seeing a tiny flower. Yet God raised my sense to his level for the briefest of moments to see why he put it there -- in part, to tell me everything was going to be okay, even if it turned out the opposite of what I wanted. Because ultimately? He's God and able to put a tiny flower where mobs of people never noticed it. So he was there for one tiny person who needed him to notice her right then. (Me.)
We are given glimpses of beyond the five senses from time to time, when God needs us to do that.
Pretty cool!

We sense only a very small part of reality. Our vision is confined to a very, very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our hearing is again, confined to a very, very narrow band of frequencies (20Hz-20kHz). Our other senses are likewise only capable of detecting or responding to a small amount of the overall info. There is SO much more actually going on in reality that we just aren't aware of. Being so constrained, we each have to interpret what little info we actually receive in order to make sense of our personal realities.
