Intuition has many aspects. Some people get premonitions, some have dreams, some experience deja vu. For me it's a vague combination of all of the above; sometimes no more than an overwhelming emotion and urge do do something or avoid it.
My personality type, according to the MyersBriggs Type Indicator, is INFJ of which 1% of the population belong to. "INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident. This is the sort of thing that other types may scorn and scoff at, and the INFJ themself does not really understand their intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive." says PersonalityPage.
How does Intuition fit in with Christianity?
In the Bible mention is made of the Holy Spirit numerous times and how we should welcome the Holy Spirit into our hearts. Colosians 1:9 says "...asking Him to make you wise about spiritual things...wonderful things that belong to those who live in the Kingdom of light".
When speaking of our intuition we should always give God the glory and thanks for the gift and not use it for our own selfish gains.
