Ok, call me foolish. I still don’t get it. Why can’t we understand the obvious:

SATANIC FORCES (WITCHES, BRUJOS, SATANISTS, DEMONS, ETC.) OPPRESS CHRISTIANS! And the closer to God you are, the more you try to do what He wills, the fiercer and more persistent the attacks.

Many people wonder what exactly is oppression by demons or other satanic forces. Demon oppression can be relatively simple to see or very complex to actually understand. In the Bible, in the book of Matthew chapter 16 we have the following incident recorded:

Mt 16:21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the

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.
