From Darkness to Light

In a stunning turn of events (or is it?) the Church has largely turned it’s back on the importance of Satan and the topic of Demon Possession, especially in the recent past. Specifically is the question of whether or not a Christian can be demon possessed. Actually, many churches that otherwise walk the straight and narrow when it comes to following God seem to ignore the warnings given throughout the Bible concerning Satan and his demon’s, demonic practices, the counterfeiting of all things Godly, etc.

You say you can’t remember being warned about these things, about fighting with Satan, about the possibility and downright certainty of being oppressed by, if not possessed by demon’s? It’s no wonder. Again, the church, God’s people have chosen to tread… Continue reading

The first meeting of the From Darkness to Light Foundation took place in Panajachel, Guatemala Friday night, June 27, 2008.  There were about 15 people present and the topics discussed were related to the mission of the Foundation:  working with the community to educate them about demons and demonic activity, witches (brujps and brujas and bujeria and shaman here in Guatemala), oppression and possession by demons (including the question "can christians be possessed by evil spirits/demons?"), deliverance from or exorcism of demon possession or evil spirits.

There were several stories related concerning the demonic activities in the area including discussion of a general nature concerning Rachels demonic possession story and the oppression of Pastor Trinidads daughter by an evil presence (complete with nightly visits… Continue reading | 1 Comment

Well, I just discovered last evening that all the links in this site were broken. Probably that way for two weeks or better. That means that all the visitors coming for help and several in particular could not find the direction and comfort they were looking for. How sad…

Or is it? Things are back to normal and God continues to work His plan. I trust that this incident was His plan or in His plan and we are on course!

Full speed ahead!… Continue reading

In an earlier post I wrote about the practicality of fighting against Satan and his workers, be they brujos or brujas with their brujeria or demons or new agers or games of fantasy; regardless of the method used for entry into ones life, the fight is still between God and Satan. In this fight God uses weak instruments to prove His power, and those instruments are His people, at least those willing to be used. And if one is not willing to be used He can use them anyway. Understanding that should provide some insight into the following verse:

Ro 16:20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

According to the verse above and… Continue reading

This post is general in nature because I need to speak to the skeptics out there about demons (satan’s workers) and fear. I continue to read post after post which makes light of Satan and his practices. But I can assure you this is no joke.

In a thousand posts easily found in a search of the internet one can find site after site that pokes fun at evangelicals who raise a warning flag about the dangers of association when it comes to things of the dark side. Ouija Boards, fantasy games like Dungeons and Dragons, witchcraft or brujeria; all are directly or indirectly associated with an involvement in things not of God.

A few days ago I met with a Pastor and his family to talk… Continue reading

As you can see if you read some of the posts on this site, there are people who believe it wrong to be engaged in a battle with Satan. They ask if it’s biblical and wonder where the precedent lies. I have several examples to share with you but first let me be clear about fighting with Satan.

There is no way to fight with Satan or his associates and win. Well, almost no way. There does exist one certain Avenue of victory in the fight against Satan. Can you recall someone who in their own strength was able to fight Satan and win? Here is a passage that may help you:

Eph 1:18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, Continue reading

It seems that many readers of the material on this site think it wrong to devote much time to studying the dark things, the things of Satan. Let me say here and now I understand and almost agree with them. Satan and his associates are not where we focus our efforts nor our attentions normally. But consider this. Times change and so does the plan of God. Not as in deviate from the plan, but as in deviate from our perspective of the norm. The plan of God doesn’t change; the plan of God changes times. Consider this:

The time was during the ministry of Christ, when the disciples were walking with Him daily. That was the norm. He tried to tell… Continue reading

Good morning.  It’s 7 a.m. on`June 5, 2008 here in Guatemala and the hurricane remnants from Mexico (actually Tropical Storm Arthur) continue to cause havoc in the Guatemala Highlands.  We are located just 15 minutes from Panajachel above Lake Atitlan and the rain continues. 

Yesterday say a brief let up of the downpours but last night the rain returned with a vengance and continues falling lightly this morning.  Although I heard reports of people in Panajachel located near the river sleeping in relatives houses for fear of a repeat of the Hurricane Stan disaster of 2005 (see the video) there was relatively little damage.

The Dream; Bringing it All Together

We have the dream about spells and voodoo, and pins in the doll. We have a blackbird hovering outside the door. We have a blackbird flying into and then out of a room of the same house just after midnight. We have a mysterious phone call a short time later, a baby bird found in the driveway and a death in the household.

If you haven’t already, please read Parts I and II:

Witch, Brujo or Bruja, Shaman, Demon; Satan’s Workers? Part I

Satan’s Workers; Blackbird Brings Death? Part II of III

Oh, and one more thing I forgot. Hector… Continue reading
