    About this ebook

    A young girl was abused by her family and ostracized for being associated with Satan, the devil; Out of the Darkness shares her story of redemption.

    Born in the northeastern United States to parents from the Caribbean, author Michelle Bless was raised in a home of violence and suspicion. Her father regularly beat her mother and siblings but initially spared her because of her perceived association with Satan. Even so, this did not save her from other abuses; she witnessed incidents of violence, incest, and other horrible, unthinkable acts. One hot summer day in 1997, Michelle was introduced to the Lord and denounced Satan, thus beginning the process of giving her life to the Lord. After two years of demonic attacks, she was fully delivered of all strongholds and has never looked back. Today she lives for the Lord.

    Her firsthand knowledge of how low a life can plummet into the depths of despair enables her to understand and relate to what others are facing as they struggle to find God in their lives. Michelle is on a mission to bring as many lost souls to God as possible by relating her personal life struggles and testimony to anyone who will open their hearts to her story.

      The names and places herein have been changed to conceal the true identity of the characters displayed.

      Chapter 1

      Sold into Slavery and Meeting Satan’s Team

      Michelle has four other siblings (three brothers and one sister) and is the second oldest. She grew up in the northeastern United States. Several other siblings didn’t survive the brutal beatings that her mother endured. In order to understand Michelle, you must have a peek into the family history.

      I am Michelle. This is my story.

      My mother was born in the Caribbean, and she had twenty-two siblings. Her father was a voodoo priest who molested all his children except her. My father rescued my mother after paying off my grandfather. The incest came out when my mother was visiting her parents. Concealed by a curtain, her brother was having sex with her sister, but when the curtain fell down, the incest was exposed. Brother and sister were having sex with each other, and the grandfather was molesting the boys and the girls. Mom was fifteen when she discovered this.

      When my father had finished paying off my grandfather, my mom married him at age seventeen. Grandfather died when she was pregnant with me, and my mother was warned not to attend his funeral, but the family said that the baby she was carrying was sold to Satan as a curse. When she got to the funeral, they blew things in the air at her, but she paid no attention because she was busy looking at her father in the coffin.

      A lot of her relatives on her father’s side came to her and said she was carrying a girl (which was me), that I would have special gifts, and that I belonged to their God. My mom said she looked at them, thought no more about it, and walked away. She went to the funeral to be sure he was dead, but instead, without her knowledge, her attendance was just what they needed to enforce the curse on me because I was inside her.

      My mom’s dad and his sisters and brothers all worshipped the dark side and used various means to mark me for the dark underworld. Now, my father also came from the witchcraft world as well. My grandparents on my dad’s side owned a farm, and the satanic rituals would take place there every summer. I spent time with my grandparents, and this is where my nightmare began.

      My grandmother was unaware that my grandfather began to involve me in his satanic rituals and that he was molesting me. There were blood sacrifices and people wearing black hooded robes and lots of group sexual escapades. She recollects seeing a pentagram and candles. The priests would drink the blood of animals and of each other and the pigs, and they would rub the blood all over themselves and pour blood on each other when they would have sex. They would summon their demons by name, and they would levitate tables. There were all kinds of people who were pedophiles and rapists, but they didn’t touch me because I was dedicated to Satan. My grandfather read the tarot cards and used the Ouija board. The men were molesting the women to impregnate them because my grandfather told them to do that.

      From ages six to twelve, however, I was touched inappropriately by my grandfather and forced to satisfy his sexual needs and desires in every possible way. He threatened to use my sister if I didn’t give him what he wanted, and so I never told anyone over the course of those sexual encounters. I had been taught by one of the women accomplished in the occult to have
