Psychokinesis: Moving Objects with the Mind or Opening Doors to Demons?
Introduction
Psychokinesis—also known as telekinesis—is the alleged ability to move or manipulate physical objects using only the power of the mind. Many people are fascinated by it, believing it’s a natural human potential or a “spiritual gift.” Movies, comics, and video games often glorify psychokinetic abilities as heroic or enlightened powers.
But what does the Bible say about this? Is psychokinesis a divine gift or a deception of the enemy? When we look closely, psychokinesis is not a scientific phenomenon or God-given ability. It is rooted in occult practices, fueled by demonic power, and stands in direct opposition to God’s Word.
What Is Psychokinesis?
Psychokinesis (from the Greek psyche, meaning “mind,” and kinesis, meaning “movement”) refers to the supposed ability to move or influence physical matter without physical contact—by the mind alone. This includes bending metal objects, levitating items, or altering dice rolls through concentration.
Modern believers in psychokinesis view it as a demonstration of “energy control” or “mind over matter.” However, no scientific proof exists that humans can generate this kind of power naturally. What does exist is a long record of occult rituals, psychic practices, and demonic manifestations that mimic this phenomenon.
Origins of the Idea
The concept of psychokinesis became popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries during the rise of spiritualism and psychical research. Early mediums like Daniel Dunglas Home and Eusapia Palladino claimed to levitate objects, play instruments, and even float in the air during séances.
Researchers such as J.B. Rhine at Duke University in the 1930s tried to study telekinesis scientifically, but his experiments lacked credible evidence. Most modern cases of psychokinesis are exposed as frauds or involve spiritual manifestations from unseen entities—what Scripture calls “familiar spirits.”
From a biblical view, psychokinesis is not a human mental ability—it’s a supernatural act of demonic power, performed to deceive people into believing they can be “like gods.”
What Are Their Beliefs?
Those who practice or study psychokinesis typically believe that:
-
The mind or consciousness is an energy field capable of influencing matter.
-
Humans possess latent psychic abilities that can be awakened through meditation, willpower, or training.
-
These powers represent spiritual evolution or higher consciousness.
-
Physical laws can be bent or transcended through mental focus.
These beliefs mirror ancient occult philosophies found in Hinduism, Buddhism, and New Age mysticism, where practitioners claim to tap into a “universal energy” or “life force” known as prana, chi, or ki.
However, Scripture makes it clear that power belongs only to God (Psalm 62:11). Any supernatural ability that bypasses God’s authority comes from a counterfeit source—the devil.
Who Is Their God or gods?
The gods of psychokinesis are not the God of the Bible. Those who engage in psychic or telekinetic practices often invoke cosmic energies, spirit guides, or ascended masters—demonic entities posing as enlightened beings.
Exodus 20:3 warns, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” The power behind psychokinesis is not divine—it is demonic. Satan seeks to imitate the works of God by giving people counterfeit abilities that appear spiritual but lead to bondage.
In Acts 8:9–11, Simon the sorcerer amazed people with “great power,” yet he was operating through demonic influence. Similarly, psychokinesis offers false wonder and pride, drawing people away from dependence on the Holy Spirit.
What Is the Purpose of Psychokinesis?
The purpose behind psychokinesis is twofold: self-exaltation and deception. Practitioners seek to prove that man can control reality through his own mind—echoing Satan’s original lie in the Garden of Eden: “Ye shall be as gods” (Genesis 3:5).
It is used to:
-
Display supernatural “proof” of spiritual advancement
-
Entice curiosity about hidden powers
-
Demonstrate independence from God
-
Validate occult teachings about energy manipulation
But the ultimate purpose from Satan’s perspective is to open spiritual doors—to invite demonic influence under the illusion of “mental power.”
Why People Get Involved
People become involved with psychokinesis for many reasons:
-
Curiosity about supernatural abilities
-
Desire for control over circumstances or nature
-
Fascination with psychic or paranormal experiences
-
Influence from movies, anime, and occult culture
-
Seeking power, recognition, or spiritual awakening
But behind this curiosity lies a spiritual trap. Once a person experiments with psychic phenomena, demons gain legal access to influence their thoughts and emotions. They can manifest as false power, then torment the person through fear, pride, or obsession.
Is Psychokinesis Divination?
Yes, psychokinesis qualifies as divination, because it involves manipulating or influencing the physical world through supernatural forces outside of God’s will. Deuteronomy 18:10–12 forbids “one who uses divination or an enchanter or a witch or a consulter with familiar spirits.”
While some may argue psychokinesis is scientific or natural, the spiritual reality is that it originates from occult roots. It replaces prayer and faith with mental control and human pride. Anything that attempts to wield spiritual power apart from God’s authority is divination and witchcraft in disguise.
Why Deliverance Is Needed
Anyone who has practiced or pursued psychokinesis needs deliverance and repentance. In attempting to access hidden power, a person opens themselves to demonic control. Signs of oppression may include:
-
Strange movements of objects or poltergeist activity
-
Sudden anger, confusion, or nightmares
-
Pride in supernatural experiences
-
Fear of losing control or spiritual darkness
Deliverance begins with repentance and renunciation:
“Heavenly Father, I repent for seeking psychic power and control through my mind. I renounce the spirit of divination, witchcraft, and pride. I break every agreement made with demonic forces in the name of Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, fill me with Your peace and truth. Amen.”
True power and peace come only from God through Jesus Christ—not through mental manipulation. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to overcome evil, not to imitate it.

Conclusion
Psychokinesis may seem like harmless curiosity or human potential, but biblically it is a form of occult divination rooted in demonic deception. God forbids His people from engaging in practices that seek supernatural control apart from Him.
No human mind can move matter by its own will—only God commands creation. To seek that power is to fall into the same pride that caused Lucifer’s downfall.
If you’ve experimented with telekinesis or psychic powers, there is hope. Jesus Christ breaks every yoke of deception and offers freedom to all who repent and turn to Him.
