“Open your third eye,” they say. “Awaken your higher self.” But what’s really behind these trendy spiritual practices? In today’s episode, we expose the deception behind the concept of the “third eye,” its occult roots, and why seeking hidden knowledge apart from God opens the door to darkness—not enlightenment. This isn’t harmless. It’s spiritual warfare.

Let’s bring this into the light—and point to the only true source of wisdom: Jesus Christ.

Let’s talk about something that sounds spiritual… but is actually dangerous.

(00:04):
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Open your third eye.
” Or maybe someone talked about awakening their “pineal gland” to reach higher consciousness.
It’s trendy, spiritual, and everywhere in the New Age world.
But here’s the truth.
The idea of opening your third eye doesn’t come from the Bible.
It comes from Eastern mysticism, occultism, and Gnostic beliefs—all of which reject Jesus as Lord.

(00:30):
The “third eye” is often portrayed as a gateway to hidden knowledge,
psychic power,or self-enlightenment.
But what it really opens you up to… is spiritual deception.
Satan has always tempted humanity with secret knowledge.
In Genesis 3, he told Eve.
“You will not certainly die… your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God.

(00:53):
” He wasn’t talking about literal eyes—but spiritual ones.
And that lie is still being repeated today.
When people try to “open their third eye,” they’re unknowingly inviting demonic influence.
They’re chasing light—but walking deeper into darkness.
The Bible warns us.
“Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

(01:14):
” (2 Corinthians 11:14).
You might see visions.
You might feel energy.
You might gain insight.
But if it’s not coming from the Holy Spirit, it’s not of God.
And if it’s not of God, it’s demonic—no matter how “positive” it feels.
The only eyes we need opened… are the ones opened by Jesus Christ.

(01:36):
Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:18.
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you.
” God gives us wisdom.
God gives us vision.
God reveals truth—without us needing to tap into forbidden knowledge.
So if you’ve ever messed with “third eye” stuff— meditation to awaken it,

(01:56):
yoga aimed at activating it,or energy work to clear it— repent.
Renounce it.
Turn to Jesus.
Because the truth isn’t hidden in yourself.
It’s revealed through Him.
