Some people use a pendulum (one would concord the pendulum by a string or chain) that would move by the asking of questions. Some think it works by unknown scientific ways. Others inquire a spirit question using the pendulum for the reply. How the pendulum works are non by some unknown scientific means, some spirit guide or godly angel, but by evil spirits! This is a form of divination which the Bible condemns (Deut. 18:10-14; 2 Kings 17:17; Acts sixteen:16)

1 occult adept, the late Kurt Koch, related his experiences who were demonically affected by getting involved with the pendulum:

Ex. 26. A woman who had an organic disease went to be examined by a pendulum practitioner. A diagnosis was made and the medical treatment was prescribed through the use of a pendulum. The woman, who had a Christian outlook and attitude, afterwards felt every bit though she was existence approached by unearthly forces. These strange assaults lasted for a few months. During this time she sought the help of a Christian government minister because of the strange inner fear that gripped her.

Ex. 27. Since childhood a daughter had had the gift of 2nd sight. She often saw apparitions. She was also antagonistic towards religious matters. However, during a mission she accepted Christ as her Saviour. From that time on her resistance to the things of God was gone. But one twenty-four hours she fell sick and unknowingly went to a pendulum practitioner. Immediately her psychic disturbances and her resistance to the Bible and prayer returned.

This example underlines the following facts. Information technology has been said earlier that the gift of second sight is one of the subsequent effects of the occult activities of one'due south ancestors. Another mutual symptom of this is a resistance to things concerning organized religion. The girl in Ex. 27 had both these symptoms. When she turned to Christ the mediumistic subjection departed. After the pendulum treatment they both reappeared. Here the mediumistic character of the pendulum practice becomes credible. This characteristic resistance which accompanies other symptoms will be seen more clearly through some further examples.

Ex. 28. During an affliction a woman sought the aid of a well-known pendulum practitioner. She thought nothing of doing this, as she had previously heard null against such a practise. Even so, she became restless in the waiting room of the practitioner and this unrest increased during the handling itself. She took the medicines which had been prescribed by the pendulum just the degree of her psychic disturbances only intensified. She institute information technology impossible to pray and adult an disfavor to the Bible and to the things of her faith. It was then on her ain initiative that she threw abroad the medicines. But afterwards this did she come up to seek my advice as a minister, and to ask me what I idea virtually the use of a pendulum in diagnosing diseases and in prescribing medicines.

Ex. 29. A pendulum practitioner came to me. He admitted quite openly that his practice was a strain on him and consumed his nervous energy. He specialized in determining the constituency of foods by means of a pendulum. White sugar he said would touch on him negatively, while brown sugar would do so positively. Over the years, yet, he had observed psychic changes in himself. He had suffered a loss of energy and a loss in his ability to brand decisions. Added to this he had go hypersensitive, and had adult a nervous twitching and a sensitivity to southerly winds and to water. When he tried to read the Bible, he had a feeling of cloy and a corking aversion towards information technology. Crucifixes were also violently repugnant to him. All this he observed in himself, and realizing that these psycho-religious disturbances were connected with his pendulum practice, he sought pastoral help and found himself ready to surrender his life to Christ. These two examples show that both the woman and the pendulum practitioner became aware of the derogatory effects through their own sound sentence and insight. In both cases they came to reject the apply of a pendulum before ever receiving any such communication from a Christian minister. The antagonism that exists between mediumistic pendulum practices and the spiritual ability of prayer is revealed in the next iii examples.

Ex. 32. I pendulum practitioner casts spells over warts, corns, goitres, assistance eczemas etc. Added to this he experiments in the field of death magic. He also asserts that he can either make people sick or heal them. A Christian woman, who knew nothing of his magical powers, thinking that he was only a nature healer, went to him for treatment. In the waiting room she prayed silently. Suddenly he addressed her and said, „You can go home. I can't help y'all." In spite of this, the woman began to have attacks of depression and thoughts of suicide. Her husband, who had no clear human relationship with Christ, was treated magically by this same pendulum practitioner. The children built-in of their marriage since this treatment have all been affected and burdened. Information technology is besides worth noting that a doc nearby sends some of his patients to this pendulum practitioner. These three examples indicate that dowsing can paralyse a man'south desire to pray, while on the other hand the prayer of a believing Christian can paralyse dowsing. The woman praying in the waiting room prevented the magic pendulum practitioner from working. The power of the Holy Spirit and mediumistic abilities are mutually sectional. Finally we will mention the definite effects of using a pendulum. Nosotros volition be dealing not so much with the effects on ane's Christian life but rather with authentic medical disturbances.

Ex. 35. A Protestant minister used a pendulum to discover water and ore. He could also diagnose diseases and institute the character of medicines with the pendulum. A Swiss university professor tested his ability. With his medical assistants and students present, he introduced twenty patients to the pendulum practitioner. With the help of the pendulum the man made a right diagnosis on all 20 patients. This minister was as well non allowed to the effects of his practise. His wife had a fatal accident. All his children died unnatural deaths. He himself has now been in an aviary for a number of years.

Ex. 36. A minister in Deutschland used a pendulum in dealing with diseases and medicines. He also practised healing at a altitude. Sick people would send him their photographs and he would hold the pendulum over them to End out the medicine that should be prescribed. A assertive Christian woman sent him her photograph for the same purpose. Her illness was diagnosed and the necessary medicine determined. Even so, afterwards on she became insane and was taken to an aviary. Members of her family reported this to the church government and the minister was afterward brought to court. These 4 examples reveal a fact that can exist verified by hundreds of similar cases. Pendulum therapy tin indeed accomplish a certain relief and healing in the organic field. This organic relief, however, must be paid for by disturbances appearing in the psychic field. Even the government minister who was an active pendulum practitioner was not immune. The caste of psychic disorder differs only in this, that the active pendulum practitioner experiences more complicated sicknesses every bit a result of his mediumistic activity, than the people who are treated. In many cases the occult character of the pendulum practise is revealed past the fact that the pendulum practitioner often indulges in other occult activities. This may include for example magic charming, spiritism, clairvoyance, or mesmerism etc. The company is worthy of note. Birds of a feather flock together!

A young homo came to me for counseling, complaining of depression, suicidal thoughts, and inability to make decisions. Often he felt unable to cope with his piece of work. He felt every bit if he were paralyzed. His family history presented a dismal picture. His smashing-aunt, who lived with the family, practiced pendulum dowsing. She used the pendulum for all the members of the family. She swung her pendulum over their daily food. She used it to solve everyday bug and to find the futurity. She used it whenever decisions were to be made. The result was that the whole of their family life was disturbed. Both children and parents suffered from depression, and all sorts of other troubles afflicted them.

I have several hundred examples concerning pendulum and rod dowsers, and all are negative in character. I cannot understand those theologians and Christian workers who regard dowsing every bit harmless.

(Occult ABC, 273)

An expectant mother allowed a pendulum practitioner to use a pendulum over her unborn child to determine whether it was a boy or girl. Both of the adult female's children were treated in this way and today they are both oppressed and encumbered as a outcome of it.

(The Devil's Alphabet, 97)

During a series of talks I was giving in a certain town, I became ill and asked for the proper noun of a Christian medico. Ane was recommended with whom I made an appointment. When I entered his consulting room, I saw a pendulum in his work, he replied that he used it to requite an additional diagnosis. I ought to mention that this was not a mere healer, just a properly qualified physician. After he had said this, I told him that I could not apply his services as a doctor, since I would have nothing to do with pendulum practice. He was astonished. I explained why I felt this way. At the same time, I prayed inwardly that God would open his eyes. And so I had the thought of seeking God'due south judgment on the matter. I must emphasize that this is the just occasion in my life that I have done this. I said to him: You lot may apply your pendulum on me." He took the musical instrument in his hand, merely information technology would non work. He looked at me in anaesthesia and said: "You are the first person with whom the pendulum has not worked." I prayed on, rejoicing that God was at piece of work already. He made me stand in two other parts of his consulting room. The pendulum did non move. The doctor asked me: "What take you washed? What sort of a person are yous?" "I believe in Jesus Christ," I replied, "and I am convinced that psychic powers come from beneath, and that we should not make use of them. That included the utilise of the pendulum." I admitted that I had prayed for God to make His volition known and for God to open his optics. The doctor replied that he accepted this. "If you can stop the pendulum by prayer, then it is non natural ability that lies backside the pendulum; it must be a power opposed to God." The doc kept his hope. He has never since used the pendulum.

I advise no one to exercise as I did. I accept only washed it once in my life, and then because the Lord gave me an inner peace about it, in order to open the eyes of this doctor.

Powers that can be disturbed by prayer are not physical powers. Possibly that may be underlined by reference to some other example.

(Occult ABC, 189-190)
