Why God Forbids Psychic Readings, Vision & Spiritual Surgery: Origins, Beliefs & Danger”

Why God Forbids Psychic Readings, Vision & Spiritual Surgery: Origins, Beliefs & Danger

Introduction

In our modern age of spiritual curiosity, many are drawn toward psychic readings, visions, and even the extraordinary claims of psychic surgery. These practices promise insight, healing, and connection with unseen realms. But for the Christian who takes the Bible seriously, there is a grave concern: these modalities may not only be misguided, but spiritually dangerous and incompatible with God’s revealed will. In this article, we will:

Define psychic readings, psychic sight, and psychic surgery
Trace their origins, beliefs, and purpose
Identify who or what powers they invoke
Examine why people use them, and whether they constitute divination
Consider what the Bible says and why these practices are strongly cautioned against

Definitions: Psychic Readings, Psychic Sight, Psychic Surgery

Psychic Readings / Mediumship

Psychic readings refer to attempts to glean information about a person’s past, present, or future by tapping into spiritual forces, spirit guides, or unseen realms. Mediumship is closely related: a medium claims to communicate with disembodied spirits, deceased persons, or supernatural entities to convey messages to the living. GotQuestions.org+2Wikipedia+2

Psychic Sight (Clairvoyance / Vision beyond the natural)

This is the claimed ability to "see" spiritual, energetic, or hidden realms—even when physical sight is unavailable. Some claim to receive clairvoyant visions, see aura layers, spirits, or glimpses of future events beyond mortal perception.

Psychic Surgery

Psychic surgery is an extreme and dramatic claim: the so-called practitioner places bare hands on the patient, “penetrates” the body without instruments, and seemingly removes diseased tissues or foreign matter, then restores the body with no visible wound. Wikipedia+2Academia+2
In reality, investigators have repeatedly labeled it fraud, sleight-of-hand, illusion, and trickery. Wikipedia+1

Beliefs, Origins, and Development

What Were Their Beliefs?

Psychic readings & mediumship assume a layered spiritual realm, inhabited by departed souls, spirit guides, or invisible entities. Practitioners claim the ability to tap into or channel messages from that realm. Wikipedia+2blog.atriresearch.org+2
Psychic sight presumes that the physical senses are limited, and that certain people can access spiritual sight. The belief often includes that what is seen is real, meaningful, and helpful to guide decisions or reveal hidden truth.
Psychic surgery is often tied to spirit doctors or spiritual intercession: behind the hands of the practitioner is a spiritual being (a guide, spirit doctor) that directs the extraction and healing. Some accounts of healing mediums combine mediumship and physical healing in a single package. Academia+1

Many of these systems draw from spiritualism, occultism, New Age, animism, or syncretistic traditions. They may adopt ideas of reincarnation, karma, spiritual energy, or universality.

Who Created or Popularized These Ideas?

Psychic readings and mediumship have ancient roots—shamans, oracles, necromancers date back millennia. In more modern times, the 19th-century Spiritualism movement in the U.S. and Europe established mediumship as a religious-scientific curiosity. The Fox Sisters (1848) are famously tied to the rise of modern spiritualism. OhioLINK ETD Center+2Wikipedia+2
Psychic surgery emerged more recently, particularly in the mid-20th century, in the Philippines and Brazil. Wikipedia+1
Notable psychic surgeons like Tony Agpaoa in the Philippines built centers drawing thousands for alleged operations. Wikipedia+1
In Brazil, medium-healer Zé Arigó claimed to work under control of spirit entities (e.g., “Dr. Fritz”) to perform cures without conventional surgery. Wikipedia
Over time, these practices spread via mass media, New Age movements, and alternative healing communities.

Thus, while not traceable to a single “founder,” these practices coalesced in spiritualist, occult, and metaphysical milieus over centuries.

Who or What Powers Are Invoked?

In psychic readings and mediumship, contact is typically claimed with spirits, guides, ancestors, or unseen intelligences that are not the God of the Bible.
Psychic sight often claims access to spiritual realms or energy fields beyond physical sight, implying unseen spiritual forces.
Psychic surgery is often said to operate via spirit doctors or spiritual intercessors guiding the hand, drawing on unseen power beyond human skill. Academia
These sources are not the Christian God; they are spiritual entities outside biblical revelation (and often align with occult or demonic classification in Christian critique).
Because practitioners often do not acknowledge Christ or the Holy Spirit, or actively contradict biblical gospel truths, Christian commentators warn these powers may be demonic or deceptive. Vladimir Savchuk Ministries+2blog.atriresearch.org+2

Purpose, Use, and Why People Are Drawn

Purpose & Use

Psychic readings promise insight, guidance, answers about relationships, future, or identity—something many crave in times of uncertainty.
Psychic sight offers a sense of spiritual awareness and authority, apparently revealing hidden truths.
Psychic surgery markets healing—physical, emotional, or spiritual—under the guise of supernatural intervention.
Sometimes people hope to bypass conventional medicine or gain a miracle; others perceive this as spiritual empowerment or access to hidden realms.

Why People Use or Get Involved

Need or desperation: facing loss, disease, brokenness, some turn to anything promising hope.
Curiosity: the occult and paranormal are culturally sensational and alluring.
Deception: advanced practitioners may combine ego-stroking, partial truth, or plausible outcomes to hook clients.
Slippery slope: a person may begin “just out of curiosity,” then deepen involvement gradually.
Rejection of conventional religion: some see psychic practices as “spiritual but not religious,” or more experiential than institutional Christianity.

But each entry into these practices can open spiritual doors to deception or bondage from forces not aligned with God.

Is It Divination? And Why the Bible Forbids It

From a Christian perspective, yes—psychic reading, mediumship, psychic sight, and psychic surgery fall under the umbrella of divination, spiritism, or sorcery, all of which Scripture expressly forbids.

Biblical Prohibitions

Deuteronomy 18:10–12 prohibits diviners, fortune-tellers, mediums, necromancers. These practices are “abominations” to the Lord.
Leviticus 19:31: “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them.”
Isaiah 8:19, 2 Kings 21:6, Leviticus 20:27, Exodus 22:18 also condemn consulting spirits or practicing witchcraft.
In the New Testament, believers are told to “test the spirits” (1 John 4:1-4), and Paul warns of false prophets and demonic deception.
Early Christians destroyed occult books (Acts 19:19) as part of turning away from such practices. blog.atriresearch.org

Why It’s Considered Deviation

It places authority and trust in hidden spiritual powers rather than God.
It bypasses God’s revealed means (prayer, Scripture, the Holy Spirit) to access knowledge or power.
It may open a person to demonic influence or spiritual bondage, rather than God’s protective authority.
Scripture’s consistency shows that God desires that humans rely on Him—not on the spirits or powers that claim supernatural access.
Even some practices that seem benign (healing, visions) can mask deeper occult spiritual control.

Christian writers assert that when psychics or mediums give correct statements, it is not proof of legitimacy but signs of selective truth, deception, or spiritual manipulation. GotQuestions.org+2blog.atriresearch.org+2

Risks, Warnings, and Practical Guidance

Risks

Spiritual deception or subtle entrance of demonic influence
Emotional or psychological manipulation by practitioners
Delay or refusal of legitimate medical treatment (especially in the case of psychic surgery) Wikipedia+1
False hope, dependency, and spiritual addiction
Undermines one’s faith or identity in Christ

Warnings

Even if some elements appear true or helpful, underlying authority is not from God.
Christians must practice discernment and test all spiritual activity by Scripture (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
Avoid engaging with psychics, mediumship, spirit communication, or unbiblical healing modalities.
Instead, trust God’s means of guidance: Scripture, prayer, counsel of the Holy Spirit, and godly community.

Summary & Call to Turn to God

Psychic readings, psychic sight, and psychic surgery, while distinct in form, share a common spiritual framework: they appeal to unseen powers, promise supernatural access, and usually bypass God. From a biblical standpoint, these are forms of divination or occult practice, strongly forbidden in both Old and New Testaments.

While the world may normalize or romanticize such practices, Christians are called to reject them—not out of fear, but out of love. God forbids them because He loves us. He knows that what is claimed to come from spirit realms often originates from deception or demonic influence, designed to entangle and mislead. Some statements may be accurate, others flattering, or false, all in a strategy to hook souls into continued occult connection.

Instead of seeking advice from mediums, trance healers, or spirit surgeons, we are to turn exclusively to God—through prayer, the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and godly fellowship. He is the only source of true guidance, healing, wisdom, and protection.

The Occult Trap of Psychokinesis: Biblical Truth Christians Must Know

PK / Parakinesis – The Occult Power Behind Moving Objects by the Mind

PK, also called Parakinesis or Psychokinesis, is the alleged ability to move or manipulate physical objects using only the mind and willpower. While it is often portrayed in movies, video games, and paranormal shows as a “cool” or “special gift,” the true source of this power is not from God but from the kingdom of darkness. The Bible warns believers to avoid any practice rooted in sorcery, witchcraft, or divination (Deuteronomy 18:10–12).

Spirituality and Origins

PK’s roots lie in occult and mystical traditions from various cultures:

Eastern Mysticism – Ancient Hindu and Buddhist yogis claimed “siddhis” (supernatural powers) including levitation and moving objects by mind power. These were achieved through deep meditation, altered states, and invoking spirit guides.
Western Occultism – In 19th and 20th century spiritualism, mediums claimed to move tables or objects during séances. Many later admitted they relied on spirit entities for these manifestations.
Shamanism – Certain tribal shamans across Africa, South America, and Asia claimed control over objects as part of spirit rituals and curses.

Beliefs and “Gods” Behind It

Practitioners often believe PK is a “latent human ability” or part of “evolutionary consciousness.” But in truth, this power is channeled through familiar spirits—demonic beings who masquerade as helpers. In Hinduism, powers are linked to deities like Shiva or Kali; in occultism, they are linked to “ascended masters” or “spirit guides” who are actually fallen angels.

Scripture is clear:

“The things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.” — 1 Corinthians 10:20

Purpose and Why People Use It

PK is often sought for:

Entertainment or Fame – Stage magicians and paranormal TV stars
Power and Control – Occultists seeking to intimidate or curse
Curiosity – People dabbling in psychic development classes
Revenge or Harm – Cursing objects or sending spiritual attacks

While it is not “divination” in the traditional sense of telling the future, PK is part of the same occult network—it relies on contact with unclean spirits, which is forbidden (Leviticus 19:31).

Demonic Manifestations for Christians

When a believer practices PK, visits someone who does it, or has ancestors who did, they open spiritual gates for demonic entry. Manifestations can include:

Unexplained movement of objects in the home
Night terrors, shadow figures, or poltergeist activity
Mental torment, confusion, and obsessive thoughts
Sudden anger or violence
Sickness with no medical cause
Spiritual oppression during prayer or worship

These are the fruits of fellowship with demons (John 10:10), not the Holy Spirit.

Biblical Warnings

Deuteronomy 18:10–12 – Condemns sorcery, witchcraft, and spiritism
Acts 16:16–18 – A slave girl with a spirit of divination could perform supernatural feats until Paul cast the demon out
2 Corinthians 11:14 – Satan disguises himself as an angel of light
Leviticus 20:6 – Turning to familiar spirits defiles a person and brings God’s judgment

If Your Ancestors Practiced PK

Occult power often travels down generational bloodlines. Suppose parents, grandparents, or ancestors engaged in PK, psychokinesis, or other occult practices. In that case, the spiritual rights of those spirits must be broken in Jesus’ name (Exodus 20:5). Until that legal ground is removed, demonic oppression may persist even if you never personally practiced it.

Deliverance Steps

Recognize – Admit PK is an occult practice, not a God-given gift.
Repent – Confess and turn away from any involvement (1 John 1:9).
Renounce – Speak out loud rejecting PK, psychic powers, and the spirits behind them.
Break Generational Curses – Cancel ancestral rights through the blood of Jesus (Galatians 3:13).
Command Spirits to Leave – In Jesus’ name, command all unclean spirits to depart (Mark 16:17).
Fill Yourself with God’s Word and Spirit – Protect your spiritual gates (Ephesians 6:10–18).

Prayer of Repentance and Deliverance

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I confess my involvement with PK, parakinesis, psychokinesis, and any other occult practice. I repent for seeking power outside of You. I renounce all spirits of witchcraft, sorcery, psychic ability, and generational curses tied to my bloodline. By the blood of Jesus, I cancel all demonic legal rights. I command every unclean spirit to leave me now and never return. Holy Spirit, fill every place in me that was occupied by darkness. Amen.

PK / Parakinesis is not a harmless “superpower.” It is a spiritual counterfeit—Satan’s imitation of God’s miracles—designed to pull people into bondage. Christians must reject and expose these works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11) and walk only in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which glorify Christ, not man.
