Psychotherapy/psychoanalysis--an open door for demonic influence.

I am about to begin a series of posts that I have been preparing for for quite some time.  I have spent time in the Word, studying and seeking the Lord. And I am fully convinced that I have been been called to expose a destructive lie of the enemy that is crept into Christians families and "defend the faith
 {Jude 3}."

I do not write out of ignorance. Unfortunately, I was once exposed to many of the "demonic" practices that I am going to speak about. 

First off we must come to the realization that psychology {and all that it entails} is not a science but rather theories/false religion that declares to do what only God, the Creator of man is capable of accomplishing in the heart/mind/soul of man.

"God alone searches the heart of man [Romans 8:27}."

"Let God transform you into a new person by the renewing of your mind {Romans 12:2}."

"God has given us a sound mind {2 Timothy 1:7}."

"I (God) will put my laws on their mind, and write them on their hearts {Hebrews 8:10}.

"They demonstrate that God's law it written on their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right {Romans 2:15}."

Even a well known psychiatrist, Sigmund Koch agrees that Psychology is based on theories when he is quoted as saying, "the hope of psychological science became indistinguishable from the fact of psychological science. The entire subsequent history of psychology can be seen as a ritualistic endeavor to emulate the forms of science in order to sustain the delusion that it already is a science” (The American Scholar, Autumn 1973, p. 66). Consequently, even secular psychologists recognize that psychology began as a theory, has never advanced beyond a theory, and will remain a theory. That exposure continues today.]


Psychology, by its own definition is, "the study of human mental {mind} functions and behavior."  However, as stated in Dave Hunt's book, The Seduction of Christianity,

"Psychology pretends to offer answers which, even if it were a science, it could never give.  We have no quarrel with chemistry, medicine, or physics, but with psychology's pretense to scientifically deal with the heart of man, who is a spiritual being made in the image of God.  To attempt to  understand and deal with human behavior "scientifically" denies man's free will and spiritual nature.  If consciousness, personality, and human reaction can be scientifically or physiologically explained, then to say "I love you" would be no more meaningful than to say, "I have a stomach ache."  Love and joy, as well as a sense of justice, beauty, and meaning, would all be the product of natural processes governed by scientifically explicable laws, and thus meaningless {Seduction of Christianity, Dave Hunt}."

Dave Hunt goes on to say, "science can deal with such things as nutritional deficiencies or chemical imbalances in the brain, but it has nothing to say about the mind, which is non physical. Moreover, psychology not only pretends to bring "science" to bear on problems which it can not even define, much less solve, but it claims to meet the needs that the bible alone can provide.  Thus, psychology in it fullest sense is a rival religion that can never be wedded to Christianity.  Furthermore, psychotherapy involves the danger that is implicit in all false religions: Those who practice it open themselves to all manner of demonic delusion {pg. 192}.

We can conclude, therefore, that psychology {and all that it entails} is a religion based on theories.  And that those who come under its "power" are opening themselves up to the influence of demons.  

A world renown psychiatrist, E. Fuller Torrey declares, "the techniques used by Western psychiatrists are, with few exceptions, on exactly the same scientific plane as techniques used in witch-doctors."  This is telling indeed!

In Deuteronomy 18, the Lord says this to His people, "When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, be careful not to imitate the detestable customs of the nations living there.  For example, never sacrifice your sons and daughters to pass through the fire.  Do not practice fortune telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft, or cast spells, function as mediums or psychics... {v. 9-11}."

In my next post, I will talk about the history of psychology/psychotherapy {and all that it entails} and its pioneers such as Carl Rogers who "pioneered the move away from traditional psychoanalysis, and developed client-centered psychotherapy, which recognizes that “each client has within him or herself the vast resources for self-understanding, for altering his or her self-concept, attitudes, and self-directed behavior—and that these resources can be tapped by providing a definable climate of facilitative attitudes.”  It is of great importance to note that Carl Rogers grew up in a strong 
Christian family, but after an "experience "questioned his basic religious views.  It was once said of him, "religion’s loss was, of course, psychology’s gain."

Please, seek the Lord for wisdom and insight if you are currently placing yourself or your children under the demonic influence of psychotherapy {and all that it entails}.
