Walter Martin - ESP And Parapsychology

In this eye-opening lecture, Walter Martin examines the world of Extrasensory Perception (ESP) and parapsychology, separating sensational claims from spiritual reality. Martin explores phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and remote viewing, analyzing their historical roots in occult traditions and their resurgence in modern science and popular culture. With clarity and conviction, he explains how these practices can serve as gateways to spiritual deception, challenging the idea that they are harmless or scientifically neutral. Using biblical principles, Martin provides Christians with discernment tools to recognize the dangers of these seemingly supernatural abilities and offers a Christ-centered understanding of true spiritual power.
