Innate Intelligence: The New Age Lie of Self-Healing Exposed

 

Innate Intelligence: The New Age Lie of Self-Healing Exposed

Innate Intelligence: The New Age Lie of Self-Healing Exposed


The term Innate Intelligence sounds scientific and uplifting, but at its root it is a dangerous philosophy rooted in the New Age movement and spiritual deception. It teaches that every human being has a built-in inner “intelligence” or “divine spark” that, if activated, can heal the body, reprogram the mind, and bring wholeness apart from God. While it is often blended with chiropractic methods, positive thinking, and holistic health practices, the spiritual foundation of Innate Intelligence is far from biblical truth.

Let’s examine where this concept originated, what beliefs it carries, and why Christians must discern its dangers.


What Culture Did Innate Intelligence Come Out Of?

The idea of Innate Intelligence came primarily through chiropractic philosophy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, promoted by Daniel David Palmer, the founder of chiropractic care. Palmer mixed alternative healing methods with metaphysical teachings that mirrored Eastern religions and New Thought philosophy.

New Thought, popular in the United States during the 1800s, taught that human beings have godlike powers within their consciousness. By aligning with this internal energy or force, people could supposedly heal their bodies and shape reality. Innate Intelligence was born from this worldview — a combination of pseudo-science and spiritual mysticism.


What Were Their Beliefs?

The central belief is that there is an invisible intelligence or vital force in the body that governs health, order, and function. When someone is sick, it is said that this innate power is blocked, and through techniques like chiropractic adjustments or mental focus, these blockages can be removed to restore harmony.

This belief mirrors pantheism (the idea that God is in everything and everything is God) and occult principles like energy manipulation. Instead of acknowledging that God alone heals and sustains life, Innate Intelligence teaches that humans can tap into their own “hidden” powers to heal themselves.


Who Is Their God or Gods?

The philosophy of Innate Intelligence does not acknowledge the God of the Bible. Instead, its “god” is an impersonal universal force or cosmic energy present in every person.

This aligns with the gods of Eastern religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism), where life force is called prana, chi, or ki. In these systems, humans are seen as miniature gods who can awaken their inner divinity. This is nothing more than idolatry and self-worship, directly contradicting Scripture:

“They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator.” (Romans 1:25)


What Is the Purpose of the Modality and Why Is It Used?

Innate Intelligence is used to promote self-healing, personal empowerment, and holistic wellness. It is marketed as a way to make chiropractic techniques more effective, while also giving people tools to “heal themselves” through the mind.

The deeper purpose, however, is spiritual deception. By focusing on self-healing apart from God, it lures people into believing they can bypass the authority of Jesus Christ, the true Healer.


Why Would Anyone Use This or Get Involved?

Many are drawn to Innate Intelligence because they are desperate for healing or want to live a healthier lifestyle. It appeals to the natural desire for wellness, but does so by counterfeiting God’s truth.

It also promises control — the idea that you can activate your own healing power without dependence on God. This lie echoes the serpent’s deception in the Garden of Eden:

“You will be like God…” (Genesis 3:5)


Is It Divination?

While not divination in the traditional sense (like tarot cards or astrology), Innate Intelligence is connected to occult practices of energy manipulation, mind science, and mystical healing. It taps into spiritual realms outside of God’s authority, opening the door to demonic influence.

Any philosophy that denies Christ as the only source of life and healing ultimately points to another spirit — and that spirit is not from God.


The Biblical Response

Christians must reject philosophies like Innate Intelligence because they elevate man and diminish the sovereignty of God. True healing comes from Jesus Christ, who bore our sicknesses on the cross (Isaiah 53:4–5). He is the only source of life:

“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” (John 1:4)

If you have been involved in teachings about Innate Intelligence, you can repent and renounce these false beliefs. Pray in the name of Jesus to close the door to deception and declare Him as your only Healer and Lord.

Concept Therapy Exposed: The Occult “Great Secret” Behind Healing

 

🚨 Concept Therapy Exposed: The Occult “Great Secret” Behind Healing

Concept Therapy Exposed: The Occult “Great Secret” Behind Healing


Concept Therapy presents itself as a scientific, mental, and chiropractic “enhancement technique,” teaching that faulty concepts in human consciousness cause disease and that by replacing these thoughts with “positive” ones, the body can activate “innate intelligence” to heal itself. While this sounds harmless—even appealing to those seeking healing—it is rooted in occult philosophy, New Age deception, and counterfeit spirituality that contradicts the Word of God.


🌍 Where Did Concept Therapy Come From?

Concept Therapy was founded in the early 20th century by Dr. Thurman Fleet, a chiropractor from Texas. Dr. Fleet taught that all sickness originates in “wrong concepts” in the subconscious mind and that healing comes when one aligns with the “great secret” of universal truth.

Fleet’s teachings borrowed heavily from New Thought philosophy, metaphysics, and Hermeticism. These movements taught that man’s mind has divine creative power, and by aligning with the “universal mind,” one could manipulate health, circumstances, and even spiritual realities.

This worldview is not biblical—it is a recycled form of ancient occultism rooted in self-deification.


🌀 Their Beliefs and “God”

Concept Therapy teaches that man has access to an “innate intelligence” that governs health. This “innate” is presented almost as a divine force or god within each person, resembling the Hindu idea of atman (divine self) or the New Age concept of “universal energy.”

Rather than recognizing the true God—YHWH, Creator of heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1)—Concept Therapy elevates the human mind and inner intelligence as the source of healing. In practice, this denies dependence on the Lord Jesus Christ, replacing Him with a counterfeit “god of self.”

Scripture warns:

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like…man.” (Romans 1:22–23)


🎯 Purpose of the Modality and Why It’s Used

The stated purpose of Concept Therapy is to:

  • Reprogram faulty concepts in the subconscious mind.

  • Empower the body’s “innate intelligence” to self-heal.

  • Enhance the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments.

In other words, it’s designed to bypass God’s design for healing and instead empower the mind as the ultimate authority. Many are drawn to it because they are desperate for healing, peace, or control over their lives—but what begins as hope often becomes spiritual bondage.


⚠️ Is It Divination?

Yes—Concept Therapy falls under the category of divination and occult practices because it taps into hidden, mystical knowledge that replaces trust in God with dependence on man’s own power. By invoking “innate intelligence” and the “great secret,” it draws upon the same deceptive principles as New Age visualization, positive confession, and metaphysical science.

Deuteronomy 18:10–12 warns against seeking hidden or mystical knowledge outside of God:

“There shall not be found among you anyone…who uses divination…or practices witchcraft…or conjures spells…For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord.”


👿 Demonic Manifestations Through Concept Therapy

When Christians participate in or inherit involvement with Concept Therapy, they open spiritual doors to demonic oppression. This happens in several ways:

  1. Idolatry of Self-Healing – Exalting “innate intelligence” as a god invites the spirit of pride and self-worship. (Isaiah 14:13–14 – Lucifer’s downfall was pride in wanting to be like God.)

  2. Spirit of Deception – Believing a “secret truth” for healing replaces faith in the blood of Jesus with trust in occult principles. This allows lying spirits to operate.

  3. Spirits of Infirmity – Rather than being healed, people may experience worsening illness, cycles of sickness, or torment because they’ve partnered with counterfeit healing. (Luke 13:11 – the woman bound with a spirit of infirmity.)

  4. Generational Consequences – If your ancestors practiced Concept Therapy or similar metaphysical healing methods, you may inherit curses of confusion, infirmity, or occult bondage until renounced. (Exodus 20:5 – sins of the fathers visited upon the children.)


🙏 Biblical Truth About Healing

God alone is the source of true healing—not man’s concepts or hidden “innate intelligence.” Scripture makes this clear:

  • Exodus 15:26 – “For I am the LORD who heals you.”

  • Psalm 103:2–3 – “Bless the LORD…who heals all your diseases.”

  • Isaiah 53:5 – “By His stripes we are healed.”

  • Acts 10:38 – Jesus healed all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

Healing is not unlocked by positive thoughts or tapping into mystical energies—it is a gift from the living God through Jesus Christ.


🚪 Closing Open Doors

If you or your family have been involved in Concept Therapy, you must repent and renounce it in prayer. Example prayer:

“Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I repent for seeking healing through Concept Therapy and for trusting in false gods of innate intelligence. I renounce every occult spirit, lying spirit, and spirit of infirmity that entered through this practice. I break every generational curse tied to these practices and command every demonic power to leave me now in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.”


✝️ Conclusion

Concept Therapy may appear scientific, harmless, or even “Christianized” through positive thinking—but its roots are in occult New Thought, its “god” is not the God of the Bible, and its fruit leads to demonic oppression. True healing, freedom, and restoration can only come through the Lord Jesus Christ.

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36)



 

 

Buddhism: The Deception Behind the Asian Religion

 

Buddhism: The Deception Behind the Asian Religion

Buddhism: The Deception Behind the Asian Religion


Buddhism is one of the world’s oldest and most widespread religions, practiced by millions across Asia and beyond. To many in the West, it seems harmless, peaceful, and even compatible with Christianity. It is often promoted in schools, yoga studios, counseling practices, and even churches under the disguise of “mindfulness” or “meditation.” But behind the golden statues, prayer beads, and chanting lies a deceptive system that draws people away from the one true God revealed in Jesus Christ.

This article will explore Buddhism’s cultural origins, its beliefs, its gods, its purpose, and why so many become involved—while answering whether it functions as a form of divination. Finally, we’ll expose why Christians must separate themselves from it.


1. The Culture Buddhism Came Out Of

Buddhism originated in the 5th–6th century BC in India. Its founder, Siddhartha Gautama, later called the Buddha, was a Hindu prince who rejected the caste system and Hindu rituals but retained Hindu philosophical ideas.

From India, Buddhism spread into Sri Lanka, China, Tibet, Japan, Thailand, and across Asia, absorbing elements of each culture along the way. This is why Tibetan Buddhism looks different from Zen Buddhism in Japan or Theravada Buddhism in Thailand.

But no matter the cultural packaging, Buddhism always promotes a worldview that denies the Creator God and replaces Him with self-realization and inner enlightenment.


2. The Beliefs of Buddhism

At its core, Buddhism teaches the Four Noble Truths:

  1. Life is suffering (dukkha).

  2. Suffering comes from desire and attachment.

  3. The way to end suffering is to eliminate desire.

  4. The Eightfold Path is the way to escape suffering.

The Eightfold Path includes “right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.” This is essentially a works-based religion: a person must strive, meditate, and discipline themselves to escape suffering and reach enlightenment.

But Scripture is clear—salvation is not by works but by faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). Buddhism denies sin, denies the need for repentance, and replaces the hope of heaven with the endless wheel of reincarnation.


3. Who Are Their Gods?

Many Westerners believe Buddhism is “atheistic,” but that is not accurate. Buddhism technically does not worship a Creator God, but it is full of gods, spirits, and idols.

  • In Tibet, Buddhist temples are filled with fierce “protector deities.”

  • In Japan, Zen Buddhism blends with Shinto gods and ancestral spirits.

  • In Thailand, Buddha statues are bowed to and worshiped as idols.

  • Even “mindfulness” meditation often invokes chanting to “Avalokiteshvara” (a bodhisattva deity).

The Bible warns us that idols are not just stone statues but representations of demons (1 Corinthians 10:20). When someone bows to Buddha, prays in a temple, or chants mantras, they are not neutral—they are communing with demonic spirits.


4. The Purpose of the Modality

Buddhism’s ultimate purpose is to achieve nirvana—the extinction of desire and escape from the cycle of reincarnation. This goal is not eternal life with God but the annihilation of self.

Buddhism teaches people to empty their minds through meditation, detach from emotions, and suppress desires. But Scripture teaches the opposite. We are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30). Biblical meditation is about filling our minds with God’s Word (Joshua 1:8), not emptying them to invite spirits.

Buddhism is essentially a counterfeit to true biblical faith, designed to look like wisdom but rooted in demonic deception.


5. Why Do People Get Involved?

Many people are drawn to Buddhism because it appears peaceful, offers stress relief, and gives practical tools for anxiety, pain, or meaning in life. Western seekers especially love “mindfulness” because it feels non-religious and can be blended into psychology or business practices.

But the danger is subtle: when someone begins to practice Buddhist meditation, bow before Buddha statues, or chant mantras, they open their spirit to demons disguised as peace. The Bible warns that Satan masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14).

People seek Buddhism because they are searching for truth and healing, but in reality they are being lured into bondage. Only Christ can give true peace: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you” (John 14:27).


6. Is Buddhism a Form of Divination?

While Buddhism does not always present itself as fortune-telling, many of its practices cross into divination:

  • Tibetan Buddhism uses oracles and astrological charts to predict the future.

  • Zen masters interpret dreams and omens.

  • Chanting mantras is essentially a form of incantation, which Scripture forbids (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).

  • Belief in karma is a counterfeit spiritual law, trying to predict and control outcomes outside of God’s sovereignty.

So yes—Buddhism often functions as divination. It denies the authority of God and instead seeks supernatural power and wisdom from spirits and idols.


7. Biblical Warning Against Buddhism

God is very clear about idol worship:

  • “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:3).

  • “What do pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons” (1 Corinthians 10:20).

  • “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord” (2 Corinthians 6:17).

For Christians, dabbling in Buddhism—whether through yoga, chanting, or mindfulness—is spiritual compromise. It opens the door to oppression, torment, and deception.


8. True Freedom in Christ

Unlike the endless striving of Buddhism, Jesus offers forgiveness, grace, and eternal life. Salvation is not earned by meditation or moral effort—it is freely given through Christ’s blood shed on the cross.

Where Buddhism teaches people to empty themselves, Christ fills us with the Holy Spirit. Where Buddhism seeks escape from suffering, Christ redeems suffering and promises eternal glory.

The only true enlightenment is found in Jesus, who is the Light of the World (John 8:12).


Conclusion

Buddhism may appear beautiful and wise, but it is a deception that keeps people bound in spiritual darkness. Its gods are demons, its practices open doors to the occult, and its promise of nirvana is a lie.

If you have been involved in Buddhism or mindfulness, repent, renounce it, and invite Jesus Christ to cleanse you. Only He can give you peace, freedom, and eternal life.

Martial Arts’ Pagan and Occult Roots

Martial Arts

Martial Arts’ Pagan and Occult Roots


Martial arts (Aikido, Judo, Karate, Kung fu, Tae Kwan Do, Tai Chi, etc - These are referred to as "Arts" because they are not merely combat techniques but are also an expression of an Eastern "spiritual" philosophy. As individuals practice these disciplines, such instructors expect them to harmonize with the supposed "laws" of this "spiritual" realm. 

These philosophies assume that the universe is "divine" and that this "divinity" also permeates and indwells each human being.  Man was created to have a personal relationship with his Creator and was never intended to be self-sufficient. Therefore, Man's authority and power can be derived only through a close dependence upon his Creator and never from any element or substance within himself.

Martial Arts’ Pagan and Occult Roots

Martial arts did not come out of a neutral culture. Most forms—such as Kung Fu, Karate, Judo, or Taekwondo—originated in Buddhist, Taoist, and Shinto traditions. They were never just physical exercises but were tied to Eastern spirituality, ancestor worship, and energy practices (chi/ki).

For example:

  • Kung Fu is tied to the Shaolin monks of Buddhism.

  • Karate comes from Okinawa, rooted in Shinto ancestor reverence.

  • Tai Chi is Taoist, focusing on balancing “yin and yang energy.”

The Bible warns us not to adopt practices connected with false gods:

  • “Learn not the way of the heathen.” (Jeremiah 10:2)

  • “You shall have no other gods before Me.” (Exodus 20:3)


2. Bowing = Worship or Reverence

In martial arts, bowing to the master or to a shrine is a normal ritual. But bowing has spiritual meaning in Scripture—it is a posture of worship and submission.

  • “You shall worship the LORD your God and Him only shall you serve.” (Matthew 4:10)

  • “At the name of Jesus every knee should bow.” (Philippians 2:10)

When a student bows to a master or to a dojo shrine, even if they say, “It’s just respect,” spiritually it is still an act of submission and honor that belongs to God alone. This opens the door for spirits of idolatry, submission, and false authority to oppress a Christian.


3. The “Life Energy” Connection

Most martial arts also teach some form of chi/ki energy, the same “life energy” concept used in yoga, Reiki, and New Age healing. Students are often trained to “harness inner energy” for strikes, breathing, or meditation.

This is occult because it replaces dependence on the Holy Spirit with a counterfeit energy source.

  • “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.” (1 Samuel 15:23)


4. Why Christians Get Pulled In

Many believers justify martial arts by saying:

  • “It’s just exercise/self-defense.”

  • “I don’t believe in the spiritual parts.”

But participation—even if unintentional—can spiritually bind a person. The rituals (bowing, chanting, energy focus) and submission to masters rooted in pagan traditions create spiritual agreements. Remember: demons don’t need your conscious permission—just your participation in forbidden practices.


5. Demonic Manifestations from Martial Arts

Christians or their ancestors who practiced martial arts may notice:

  • Pride, anger, or aggression.

  • Spiritual oppression or tormenting dreams.

  • Inability to fully submit to God’s authority.

  • Physical manifestations (heat, energy surges, sleep paralysis).

  • Bondage to perfectionism or performance spirits.

These are the fruits of mixing occult practices with daily life.


6. Freedom Through Christ

If someone has practiced martial arts and feels conviction, repentance, and deliverance are key.

Prayer of Renunciation:
“Lord Jesus Christ, I repent for involvement in martial arts and bowing to a master or shrine. I renounce all submission to false authority and all connection to chi/ki energy. I repent for myself and my ancestors. I break every demonic tie, spirit of idolatry, pride, anger, and witchcraft. I declare that I bow only to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. In His name I command every unclean spirit tied to martial arts to leave me now. Amen.”


✅ In short: Martial arts is wrong for Christians when it involves bowing, rituals, or spiritual energy—because these are rooted in idolatry and occultism. Self-defense itself is not sin, but the martial arts system is spiritually compromised from its foundations.

Life Energy in the New Age: The Occult Force Christians Must Avoid

 

Life Energy in the New Age: The Occult Force Christians Must Avoid

Life Energy in the New Age: The Occult Force Christians Must Avoid


In the New Age community, one of the most common teachings is the existence of a universal “life energy” that flows through all living things. It goes by many names: chi in Taoism, prana in Hinduism, ki in Japanese Reiki, and vital force in Western occultism. Practitioners believe this invisible energy can be manipulated for healing, psychic abilities, and spiritual transformation.

At first glance, it may seem harmless—even scientific. But the truth is, the concept of life energy is rooted in paganism and occult philosophy, and those who engage with it open the door to demonic deception.


Cultural Origins of Life Energy

The idea of a universal life force comes from multiple pagan traditions:

  • Hinduism (Prana): Prana is the vital force said to flow through the body’s chakras and can be controlled through yoga and meditation.

  • Taoism (Chi or Qi): In Chinese mysticism, chi is believed to be the energy flowing through meridians in the body, balanced through acupuncture, tai chi, and qigong.

  • Western Occultism: In Hermeticism and Theosophy, life energy was rebranded as “vital force” or “astral energy,” forming the foundation of modern New Age healing practices like Reiki.


The Beliefs Behind Life Energy

New Age practitioners believe:

  • Life energy can be channeled, transferred, or manipulated for healing.

  • Illness results from “blocked energy,” not sin, genetics, or environment.

  • By raising one’s vibration or balancing energy centers, one can reach higher consciousness.

  • Death is not the end but a transformation of energy into another form.

This worldview denies the truth of Scripture, which teaches that life comes from God alone.

  • “In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.” (John 1:4)

  • “He Himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.” (Acts 17:25)

  • “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live.” (John 11:25)


Who Is Their God or gods?

The life energy concept is not neutral—it is tied to false gods. In Hinduism, prana is linked to deities like Shiva and Vishnu. Taoist chi is associated with yin-yang cosmology and ancestor spirits. Reiki practitioners call on “universal life energy,” often guided by spirit entities (demons in disguise).

Behind these systems is the same lie Satan told in Eden: “You shall be as gods” (Genesis 3:5). By teaching that humans can harness energy to heal, ascend, or achieve immortality, the life energy doctrine replaces dependence on God with occult self-empowerment.


The Purpose of Life Energy Practices

The main purposes include:

  • Healing without God through reiki, acupuncture, or yoga.

  • Spiritual transformation through kundalini awakening or chi cultivation.

  • Divination and psychic powers such as clairvoyance and astral projection.

Thus, the life energy concept is a gateway to deeper occult practices.


Why People Get Involved

People are drawn into life energy practices for:

  • Relief from sickness or pain.

  • A desire for peace and relaxation.

  • Curiosity about spirituality.

  • Attraction to New Age “scientific” language about energy.

But instead of finding peace, many find bondage. They trade the true Healer, Jesus Christ, for counterfeits.


Is Life Energy Divination?

Yes—though it disguises itself as healing. Practices like reiki and chakra reading are forms of divination, since they claim to diagnose spiritual conditions and alter destinies by channeling unseen energy. This directly violates God’s command:

  • “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them.” (Leviticus 19:31)

  • “You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.” (1 Corinthians 10:21)


Demonic Manifestations from Life Energy Practices

When Christians—or their ancestors—engage in life energy practices, doors open to demonic oppression. Common manifestations include:

  • Heat or tingling sensations during prayer or meditation.

  • Nightmares, sleep paralysis, or shadowy presences.

  • Mental torment, confusion, or obsession with “energy healing.”

  • Physical afflictions that worsen instead of improve.

  • Ancestral curses tied to Hinduism, Taoism, or Freemasonry (which also uses vital force concepts).

These are not signs of “awakening” but signs of demonic activity.


Breaking Free from the Life Energy Deception

The only true life is found in Christ. If you or your ancestors have been involved in energy healing, yoga, reiki, or related practices, repentance is necessary.

Prayer of Renunciation:
“Lord Jesus, I renounce all involvement with life energy practices, including reiki, yoga, chi, and prana. I repent for myself and my ancestors for seeking false healing apart from You. I break every curse and spirit tied to these practices, and I declare that Jesus Christ alone is my Life, my Healer, and my Savior. In Jesus’ name, I command every unclean spirit connected to these practices to leave now. Amen.”


Conclusion

The New Age teaching of life energy is not harmless—it is occult deception. Whether called prana, chi, or vital force, it replaces the power of God with counterfeit demonic energy. Christians must reject these practices and embrace the only true source of life: Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Hermeticism: The Lie That Man Can Become Divine

 

Hermeticism: The Lie That Man Can Become Divine

Hermeticism: The Lie That Man Can Become Divine


Hermeticism is one of the oldest occult systems in the world, shaping modern witchcraft, Freemasonry, astrology, and the New Age Movement. At its core is the belief that man can become divine through mystical transformation—a direct contradiction of God’s Word. Scripture is clear: “You shall be as gods” was the very first lie Satan told Eve in the Garden (Genesis 3:5). Hermeticism is simply a repackaging of that ancient deception.


Cultural Origins of Hermeticism

Hermeticism arose in Egypt during the Hellenistic period (2nd century B.C. – 3rd century A.D.). Its teachings were attributed to Hermes Trismegistus (“Thrice Great Hermes”), a fusion of the Egyptian god Thoth and the Greek god Hermes. These writings, known as the Hermetic Corpus, claimed secret knowledge of the divine, the cosmos, and the hidden powers of man.

The culture of ancient Egypt was steeped in magic, astrology, and worship of false gods. The Hermetic texts blended Greek philosophy with Egyptian occult practices, giving birth to a system that spread through Rome, medieval Europe, the Renaissance, and even today’s occult revival.


The Beliefs of Hermeticism

Hermeticism teaches that:

  • God is not a personal being but an impersonal “All.”

  • Man has a divine spark within himself and can become god-like through mystical knowledge (gnosis).

  • The universe operates through hidden laws that can be manipulated through magic, astrology, and alchemy.

  • Salvation is not through Jesus Christ but through enlightenment and transformation of the self.

This is clearly contrary to Scripture. The Bible declares:

  • “I am the LORD, and there is no other; besides me there is no God.” (Isaiah 45:5)

  • “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)

  • “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image…” (Romans 1:22–23)

Hermeticism removes the need for Christ’s sacrifice and replaces it with self-divinity and occult knowledge.


Their Gods and Purpose

Hermeticism worshipped Hermes/Thoth, gods of wisdom, communication, and hidden knowledge. Practitioners sought contact with spiritual entities (which are actually demons in disguise), believing these beings could grant secret wisdom.

The purpose of Hermeticism was to:

  • Achieve personal divinity

  • Manipulate spiritual forces

  • Control fate through astrology

  • Transform matter (alchemy) as a picture of inner transformation

  • Gain forbidden knowledge

In short, Hermeticism is a pursuit of power apart from God, the very essence of witchcraft.


Why People Get Involved

Hermeticism appeals to those hungry for power, enlightenment, healing, or hidden wisdom. It promises answers about the mysteries of life and the universe. Many are drawn into it through:

  • Astrology and horoscopes

  • Alchemy and “spiritual transformation” teachings

  • New Age meditation and visualization

  • Secret societies and Freemasonry

  • Modern occult literature

But what begins as a search for wisdom often becomes spiritual bondage.


Is Hermeticism Divination?

Yes. Hermeticism involves divination through astrology, numerology, and communication with spirits. God clearly forbids these practices:

  • “There shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer.” (Deuteronomy 18:10)

  • “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.” (1 Samuel 15:23)


Demonic Manifestations

When Christians—or their ancestors—dabble in Hermeticism, they open the door to demonic spirits of false wisdom, pride, control, and witchcraft. Manifestations include:

  • Tormenting dreams and nightmares

  • Hearing voices or channeling “guides”

  • Uncontrollable anger, pride, or confusion

  • Financial setbacks and constant blockages

  • Addiction to occult books or practices

  • Sicknesses with no medical explanation

Generational involvement (through Freemasonry, secret societies, or alchemy) can pass down ancestral curses, bringing oppression to children and grandchildren.

But Jesus Christ came to destroy these works: “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8)


Breaking Free from Hermeticism

If you or your ancestors have been involved in Hermeticism, repentance and deliverance are essential. Pray:

“Lord Jesus Christ, I renounce all involvement with Hermeticism, divination, astrology, alchemy, and the worship of Hermes or any false god. I repent on behalf of myself and my ancestors. I declare that only You are Lord and Savior. I break every curse, spirit, and tie to Hermeticism in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.”


Conclusion

Hermeticism is not harmless philosophy—it is an occult system rooted in Egypt’s false gods and Satan’s ancient lie. Its promise of divinity leads only to spiritual destruction. Christians must reject it, repent, and walk in the true freedom found only in Jesus Christ.
