The Hidden Dangers of Levitation: What God’s Word Says About This Occult Practice
🕊️ Levitation: A Supernatural Wonder or Spiritual Trap?
Levitation has fascinated people for centuries, often portrayed in mystical ceremonies, magic shows, and spiritual encounters. It is defined as the phenomenon of a person or object rising into the air without any physical support—seemingly by supernatural or psychic power. While it may appear harmless or even awe-inspiring, the practice of levitation is deeply rooted in occult traditions and opens dangerous spiritual doors.
🔍 The Spirituality Behind Levitation
Levitation is not just a physical event—it is a spiritual manifestation. Many who experience or attempt levitation are not merely performing a trick; they are tapping into spiritual realms outside of God’s authority. Often, the individuals involved have embraced New Age beliefs, Eastern mysticism, or forms of witchcraft that promise supernatural powers.
Levitation is common in:
-
Hindu Yogic Practices: Especially in advanced stages of transcendental meditation, practitioners report out-of-body experiences and floating.
-
Occult Ceremonies: Mediums, witches, and spiritualists have long used levitation as a form of spirit demonstration.
-
New Age Energy Healing: Some claim levitation occurs during healing rituals involving crystals, chakras, or “spirit guides.”
These belief systems do not worship the one true God of the Bible. Instead, they serve false gods, idols, or undefined “universal energies” that open the door to demonic influence.
🔥 Who is Their God or gods?
In most cases, the entities worshipped or interacted with in these spiritual traditions are not neutral. Whether labeled as “ascended masters,” “spirit guides,” or deities from Eastern religions, they are not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Scripture makes it clear: “the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God” (1 Corinthians 10:20).
When someone calls on a power that is not from God, they are calling on demons. The “gods” behind levitation are counterfeit—offering fleeting power but delivering lasting bondage.
⚠️ Spiritual and Psychological Dangers
Engaging in levitation and similar occult practices may seem harmless or exciting at first, but they come with heavy spiritual consequences. Many who have explored these realms have later suffered:
-
Mental torment
-
Hearing voices
-
Seeing lights or apparitions
-
Paranoia, anxiety, depression
-
Obsessive thoughts or suicidal ideation
This is not a coincidence. Opening the door to supernatural realms without God’s protection allows demonic spirits to torment the mind and body. The further one ventures down this path, the closer they draw to destruction.
Some victims have described the torment as a constant presence, whispering lies, inducing fear, and making them feel trapped within their own minds. Others have said they were driven to the brink of suicide before they cried out to Jesus for deliverance.
📖 Biblical Warnings: What Does God Say?
God is not silent about these practices. In Deuteronomy 18:9–12, God gives a direct command:
“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who… practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells… Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.”
Why does God forbid these practices? Not because He wants to withhold knowledge or power—but because He knows the source of that power. These are not innocent rituals. They are dangerous spiritual transactions that invite demonic forces into a person’s life.
🛑 The Price of Consulting the Lesser Power: Saul’s Fall
In 1 Samuel 28, King Saul disobeyed God by consulting a medium—the witch of Endor—to summon the spirit of Samuel. This was after the Lord had already withdrawn from Saul due to his repeated rebellion.
“So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the Lord… and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it, and did not inquire of the Lord” (1 Chronicles 10:13–14).
Saul sought a lesser spiritual power instead of God, and the result was tragic: fear, torment, madness, and eventually, death.
This is a pattern repeated throughout history—when people turn from God's truth to the occult, they step out of divine protection and into enemy territory.
🗝️ The Devil’s Promise: Knowledge and Power… For a Price
The occult, including levitation, always promises secret wisdom and spiritual empowerment. Satan has used the same bait since the Garden of Eden: “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). But just like Adam and Eve discovered, the promise is hollow. The price is your peace, your sanity, and even your life.
The devil doesn’t give anything for free. He gives you a momentary thrill, but he takes your soul as collateral. He gives the illusion of control, while dragging you deeper into bondage.
✝️ Jesus: The Power Greater Than Any Darkness
The Good News is this: Jesus Christ has triumphed over all the power of the enemy. When Jesus walked the earth, He didn’t levitate to show His power—He cast out demons, healed the sick, raised the dead, and forgave sin. His power is not parlor magic—it is divine authority that sets captives free.
“The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8).
Unlike the devil, Jesus offers true peace, healing, and freedom. You don’t need to open yourself up to the occult to experience the supernatural. The Holy Spirit is the only spirit you should welcome—and He only comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
🛐 A Call to Repentance and Deliverance
If you’ve participated in levitation or any other occult practice, there is hope. Jesus is ready to forgive and deliver. Renounce the lies, repent of any involvement in these dark practices, and call on the name of the Lord.
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).
Don’t wait until the torment gets worse. You don’t have to live under fear and deception. The truth will set you free—and His name is Jesus.
📣 CONCLUSION
Levitation is not an innocent supernatural ability—it is a spiritual trap. What begins as a fascination often ends in torment. God forbids such practices not to control us, but to protect us from the forces that desire our destruction.
Turn away from occult deception and turn to the One who holds all true power. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life—and in Him, there is no darkness at all.
