Remote Viewing: The Devil’s Counterfeit for Spiritual Vision
In an age obsessed with supernatural experiences and psychic power, few practices have gained as much intrigue as remote viewing—the supposed ability to perceive people, events, or locations from afar without physically being there. While many claim it’s scientific or harmless, remote viewing is deeply rooted in occultism, divination, and New Age mysticism. It is not of God but of demonic origin, and Christians must understand how it operates—and how to protect themselves.
What Is Remote Viewing?
Remote viewing is a psychic technique that allows a person to “see” or describe details of distant or unseen targets through mental perception. Participants often enter altered states of consciousness, using visualization and trance to gather information. Though often disguised as science, remote viewing is a spiritual act that bypasses the Holy Spirit and taps into familiar spirits—fallen angels assigned to deceive and imitate divine revelation.
Who Created It and Where Did It Begin?
The idea has ancient roots. Early forms of remote viewing appeared in Hinduism, Buddhism, and shamanism, where priests and mystics claimed to project their spirits into distant realms. In modern times, Ingo Swann, a self-proclaimed psychic, and Harold Puthoff, a physicist tied to the Church of Scientology, developed structured “remote viewing protocols” at Stanford Research Institute during the 1970s.
These experiments became part of the U.S. government’s Project Stargate, a CIA and military program that attempted to use psychic spying for intelligence gathering during the Cold War. Although publicly presented as “paranormal research,” its true spiritual roots were occult. Participants unknowingly entered realms controlled by demonic entities masquerading as “energies” or “higher consciousness.”
Who Is Their God?
Remote viewing has no room for the biblical God. Practitioners often believe in universal consciousness, energy fields, or collective minds, which are simply repackaged pagan beliefs from Eastern religions. Their “god” is not Yahweh, the Creator, but a pantheistic force—essentially Satan’s counterfeit of omniscience.
The one true God is omnipresent and all-knowing, but humans are not meant to access this kind of power independently. Remote viewing attempts to mimic divine sight through human or demonic means, which is why it is classified as divination—a practice God condemns (Deuteronomy 18:10–12).
Why People Use It or Get Involved
People are drawn to remote viewing for curiosity, power, or a desire to “see the unseen.” The New Age community uses it to contact spirit guides, ascended masters, or to spy spiritually. Others, like those in intelligence agencies or occult groups, use it to gain knowledge, wealth, or control.
However, behind every psychic vision lies a demonic spirit pretending to be helpful. These familiar spirits use deception to open spiritual doors, leading to nightmares, psychic attacks, or mental torment. Some victims even experience energy drain, confusion, or sleep paralysis because of these unseen watchers.
Remote viewing is not the gift of discernment or prophecy. It is spiritual espionage through the kingdom of darkness.
Is It Divination, Occult, New Age, or Witchcraft?
It is all of the above.
-
As divination, it seeks hidden knowledge apart from God.
-
As occultism, it draws power from demonic sources.
-
As New Age practice, it uses visualization and “energy work” to open psychic channels.
-
As witchcraft, it manipulates spiritual laws for personal gain.
Every form of psychic sight that bypasses the Holy Spirit is counterfeit and dangerous. The devil offers false light to those who crave spiritual power outside of submission to Christ.
What If You’re a Victim of Remote Viewing?
Some believers report feeling watched or spiritually violated by others claiming psychic sight. If you sense that someone may be remotely viewing or spiritually observing you, understand this: you are not powerless. The blood of Jesus Christ is your protection.
Steps for Spiritual Protection:
-
Cover Yourself in the Blood of Jesus – Verbally declare:
“I am covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” (Isaiah 54:17)
-
Anoint Your Home and Gates – Pray over doors, windows, and rooms using anointed oil. Declare your home is off-limits to all demonic surveillance.
-
Close Spiritual Portals – Renounce any involvement in New Age practices, meditation, yoga, or visualization that may have opened psychic gates.
-
Bind and Rebuke Familiar Spirits – Use your spiritual authority:
“I bind every familiar spirit, monitoring spirit, and psychic watcher in Jesus’ name. I command you to leave and never return.”
-
Ask the Holy Spirit to Shield Your Mind – Pray Ephesians 6:10–18 daily, putting on the whole armor of God, especially the helmet of salvation and shield of faith.
-
Speak Scripture Out Loud – The Word of God is your spiritual weapon. Demons cannot withstand the spoken Word under the authority of Christ.
When you walk in holiness, obedience, and faith, Satan’s surveillance network collapses. Demons lose legal access where sin and fear once gave them permission.
Why Deliverance May Be Needed
Anyone who has practiced or been exposed to remote viewing—whether as a viewer or a victim—may need deliverance. Involvement can bring spiritual bondage through:
-
Spirits of divination and clairvoyance
-
Spirits of fear, paranoia, and confusion
-
Familiar spirits masquerading as “guides” or “angels”
Deliverance begins with repentance and renunciation:
“Father, I repent for every involvement with psychic sight, astral projection, or remote viewing. I renounce every familiar spirit and break all soul ties with the occult. Lord Jesus, wash me in Your blood and restore my spiritual sight through the Holy Spirit alone.”
After prayer and confession, believers often experience peace, clarity, and renewed protection.
The True Source of Vision
True spiritual sight belongs to the Holy Spirit. God’s revelation never violates His Word or operates outside His will. The enemy’s counterfeit offers false power but results in bondage. Jesus came to give us freedom, not fear. When our eyes are fixed on Him, demonic watchers lose all power.
