I know that the bible refers strictly to he use of no psychics many times, but what about the people who are originally born psychic?, with no knowledge that it is bad.

What do you mean by psychic? Being able to see the future? Nobody’s born that way and it’s not intrinsically bad. Either it’s a gift from God (the gift of prophecy) or it’s a trick of the devil. Unless guided by a knowledgable and holy spiritual director or confessor, assume the worst and ignore it.
 
Just because they do not have the knowledge of evil, does mean that it is not evil.

A true psychic would know the answer already.

I think some people are more “spiritual” than others in the sense that they pick up things that others might not. On the other hand, prophecy is a gift of God. But the devil can also tell what the future holds up to a point, since he is a spiritual being and not bound by time any more than God or angels are.

I had a pastor whom I found from experience to be extremely accurate in his predictions, which to me meant he’d been given a gift of prophecy. My concern however with non-Christians is where their spiritual source is coming from. Whenever I happened to be flipping TV channels and Mr. Edwards(?) came on, the one thing that always struck me about the spirits he was supposed to be in contact with was how nobody ever mentioned judgement. “Everything is hunky-dory Martha, and Uncle Reb sends his regards. We got corn cobs on the barbecue and Rastus said he ain’t stealin’ cars any more!”

Unless you can vouch for the authentic Christian standards of the psychic, then I’d ignore them personally. What they say may come to pass, but at the same time who is telling them? And the nitty gritty - does it do anything to bring the hearer to Christ?
