From Darkness to Light

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

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.

Blackbird Brings Death?

If you haven’t read the first article in this series, Witch, Brujo or Bruja, Shaman, Demon; Satan’s Workers? it’s best to do it now.

To sum up, a man is telling of a story wherein a blackbird is fluttering outside his bedroom door and then a few nights later, actually enters the bedroom and flies around before being ushered out by the man’s wife. A baby bird is found a few days later and is brought into the house where it subsequently dies.

The story is interesting on its face but gets even more interesting as other details are added. The same man has a dinner where he has invited a doctor and… Continue reading | 7 Comments

Seems innocent enough doesn’t it? The writing on this sticker says “it’s not difficult to love me”. But look at the sticker. This sticker above is either a tiger or a cat. How would you describe it? It’s not a kitty or a passive cat. It has an evil look to it. I know, I can hear you now. Another conspiracy theory. But wait, hear me out.

When I took this home and began writing the story my 11-year-old daughter came in and I asked her about the sticker. Understand that in Guatemala, stickers are big deals… Continue reading

The title of this post is a little misleading as even though this is Hector’s story it is told by Jim and concerns the demonic possession and subsequent exorcism or deliverance of Hector’s sister followed by the death of Hector’s brother. It is an incredible story that caused me to change my beliefs with the full understanding that God gives us these experiences so that we may fully walk in the plan he has for us. It is best summed up in my belief by the following verse:

2Co 1:3,4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort

This was written from Guatemala in July of 2005

Well, another strange report from Guatemala! There seem to be so many lately. Anyway, it happened last night while I was working in the house with the lights out, inside and out, with only the light from the computer screen on. As I’m working on the computer with my headphones on I became aware of a cat, or at least what I thought was a cat, letting out the most unholy screech and then rumbling, kind of a growl. This has happened several times but there have been

From Darkness to Light Foundation

From Darkness to Light Foundation (FDTLF) is a not-for-profit foundation established in the Lake Atitlan region of Guatemala to study, discuss and understand the biblical truths concerning Satan and his related entities, their methodology and work in and among the people, both Christians and non-Christians, and the subsequent education of all peoples thereof. It was formed after a true life experience of one of its directors dealing with the possession of his sister by an evil spirit and the subsequent death of his brother. See Hector’s story here.

The lake Atitlan area of Guatemala is currently a hotbed of activity for pagans. The lakefront community of Santiago boasts of
