Question: Are you saying that I should stop using my [water-witched] well and...drill another ...

Question: In Occult Invasion, Dave Hunt wrote that “water witching,” or divination, is an occult practice. The well drillers who drilled the well for my own domestic water told me how they had located the best place to drill. They also demonstrated how the “rod” reacted to the presence of water. Are you saying that I should stop using the well and pay thousands of dollars to have them drill another somewhere else when this one is strong and healthy, [and] in a perfect place? James:1:17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
See All... says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” Why not just accept that this is what God wants for me, since it perfectly fits my needs?

Response: Dave’s perspective regarding “water witching” is that it seems to be an occult practice akin to divination because there is no scientific basis for the process. He gives an example of “water witching” over a map by a person in Maine, who not only located water in Bermuda but told the drillers the depth at which they would find water, its quality, and its quantity! Clearly that process is not scientific. Either it’s occult (divination), or it’s just a lucky guess. Dave’s concern is that it may promote divination as a legitimate method for people.

You have misappropriated James:1:17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
See All..., implying that the Lord agrees with human pragmatism, i.e., “If it works, it’s a good thing.” The fact remains that divination is an ungodly, unbiblical, and occult practice.

No one is saying that you should stop using the well. That’s between you and the Lord: “the just shall live by faith.” If you weren’t aware before the drilling that the well drillers used water witching and neither did you seek them out for their occult technique, your situation seems to be similar to those who unknowingly ate food offered to idols. In 1 Corinthians, Paul wrote that it was permissible for a believer to consume meat that had been offered at a pagan altar, with the caveat being the conscience of a weaker brother. In Corinth, there were many believers who had worshiped these same idols. They did not fully know that God was absolutely sovereign over all other pretenders. For them to eat food offered to idols created something Satan could and would exploit (1 Cor:8:1-13 [1] Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. [2] And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. [3] But if any man love God, the same is known of him. [4] As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. [5] For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) [6] But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. [7] Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. [8] But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. [9] But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. [10] For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; [11] And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? [12] But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. [13] Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
See All...). The same may be said for those dabbling in dowsing. Whom might they influence?
