[Music] [Music] DC: Welcome, everyone, to "Something More." I'm Donna Chavis and my guest today used to be known as the son of the devil. Well, no longer if
you know John Ramirez, John. Now you are- JR: I am a son, the follower of
Jesus Christ. DC: Kicking the devil- JR: All day, every day. Kicking
the devil, eviction notice. DC: [Laughs] Amen. Well, you know, if anybody
knows your testimony, you were a high
priest in satanism, a satanic high priest. JR: I was more like a
satanic high priest. But my rank was a
general in the kingdom of darkness. DC: Wow! I was a general in
the kingdom of darkness. Nothing moved, nothing
operated in the spirit realm unless I
was involved. DC: My, my, that's,
that's so hard to believe. Knowing you now, because
you're just full of the power and the love of God. I don't know if everybody
knows your story. Let's start there. Well, give me a
little background. Your childhood? JR: Well, my
childhood I mean, I grew up, the
leadership in my father's side
of the family, it was all witches
and warlocks. And we practiced
spiritualism, Santeria and
Santeria, they, they call it
worship of saints. And they're just, that's
just sugarcoating it because in the
background, the back door of Santeria
is worship of demons. And I grew up, at
the age of seven. You know, I at
the age of seven, I knew that I used
to see my father, my father was worshipping
the devil in the home. He had, he had a room
that he would go into and worship the devil.
You could feel the presence of the
devil in that room. I would, I would
stand by, not far. and I'd look into
the crack of the door. He left it kind of
open and now I'm a seven-year-old
looking in and see this, this, this, thing in
the room that was so ferocious, and the
fear would just grip me. And I would just run into
the living room and my father would come out of
there and then he would put the living room on
fire and he'd take me, my brothers, and jump
us all over the fire. And he said, that
was good for us. And before you
know it, you know, I was just so
wrapped into the occult. And from the age of eight
years old to the age of thirty five, twenty five
years of my life was going into the occult from
devil worshipping, from demonic church, going
to be trained by witches in warlocks how to be
a, how to move in the spirit realm. DC: Yes. And I know
I probably asked myself, how does someone get
into something like that? But your father
was very abusive, and you didn't feel any
love from your father. JR: No, no,
not, not at all. You know, I
think I think that, you know, the love that
the love of the father is so important in every
family and that was not the case in my home. My home, the love of
my father was absent. Not only absent. You know, my father
would still be home, and he'd still be absent
because my father didn't know how to love. DC: Right. JR: Because he
was never loved. So, he didn't
know how to love us, me and my brothers. So, we wanted
that recognition. You know, hey, you know,
go to the baseball game, go out to the park and
play catch up and go take the bike or, or take us
to a Yankee game or do something with
us or, you know, we came with the report
cards home. Or, you know, maybe a pat on the
shoulder, a hug. There was there was
nothing like that. So, so, that
was so absent. It was so, so empty. DC: It makes you
desperate, doesn't it... for acceptance. JR: Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. DC: For
acceptance, for love. JR: Acceptance. I mean I think we all do. I think the young,
old, in between, every person is
looking to be loved. DC: Mm-hmm. And you actually did some
type of a ceremony to be inducted into this cult. JR: You know, I
was you know, people don't know this. And I said, I've shared
this a very few times, but I was, I was, even
though my father was practicing, my father
practiced witchcraft for many years, my aunt
was still a witch. She practiced witchcraft,
she's still into witchcraft, my aunt. and in Santeria
and spiritualism. [Unintelligible]. My, my, just to say this. My induction to the, to
the occult was at the age of seven. I was in a playground
schoolyard playground, Brooklyn lot where the
building was demolished, and I was standing there,
and this necklace fell from the sky. And from the
second heaven, and it hit the ground. And
it was the colors. It was, it was
called, the seven, it was called the seven
colors of the dark side, or the seven powers
of the dark side, is the seven powers
of the dark side. When it fell
on the ground, I took the necklace, I
put in my pocket because I wasn't afraid, and I
didn't want them to take the necklace. And I heard my
mom's voice. And I think I know that
was my mom's because I was miles away
from my house. My mom couldn't
scream that loud. It said, "Johnny,
come home!" So, when I went home, I
put the necklace on and that was indeed my
induction from the first and second heaven where
the principalities reign and rule. And then from there, I
was ushering by humanity, my dad and my family. I was ushered into
Tarot card reading, Tarot card reading
at the age of eight. And that's how I got
inducted from the age of eight. Thirty-five
years old, I was engulfed in the dark side. DC: And when you say a
General of the dark world of darkness, you
actually would astral project yourself. You- sacrifices, what,
what kind of things? JR: Animal
sacrifices, cutting, drinking animal blood,
drinking your own blood. You have to cut yourself
and drink your own blood. Going, going, doing
different ceremonies. Different, different
territory demons. Grand demons,
principalities, knowing their rituals and
the ceremonies and knowing the language, a demonic
language and moving into the ranks of the demonic
round deeper and deeper and deeper as the devil
allows you to move in trust issues with deeper
secrets of the demonic side. So, in that alone,
I moved up to the, I mean, I got married
on Halloween night, a demonic wedding on
Halloween. That was my true marriage
on Halloween I got a demonic wedding,
Halloween. So, so moving into the
ranks and then the devil allowing you and
then making different, different contracts
with different demons. That, that had the powers
to take your soul out of your body and
astral project. So those contracts, I did
all the ceremonies and the witchcraft for, till there
was no more ceremonies to do. I even did the
last ceremony, I did before I came to
the Lord Jesus Christ, was called Sanse which is
a Haitian ceremony that they, they, they, close
the ceremony with ice bucket of water. They do that. And that was the
last ceremony. And in my last meeting
with the devil was I went to a meeting and I was
still between two worlds. And I went to the meeting
and the devil came down. At the meeting
after twelve o'clock. And he said, "My son,"
in demonic language. He said, "My son,
could I talk to you?" I said, "Sure." And I wasn't even there
because I was so numb. And I was so numb trying
to wrap my mind around, DC: Yes, yes. JR: Which direction I
wanted to go. And he said, "You know,
why God threw us out of heaven?" And I said, "No,
I don't. I don't know." He said, "Because
God was jealous of us. And that's why He
threw us out of heaven." And then the devil left. And I walked home at
4:00 in the morning. It was 10 degrees. I didn't feel nothing. DC: Wow. JR: And from
there, you know, Jesus Christ appeared. DC: Yeah. Let me ask you
one more question before we leave that. When you were talking
about astral projecting around neighborhoods,
countries, even. JR: Regions. DC: Regions. Yes. And speaking curses
and putting curses on, on people. You said and then, and
then sometimes you would see a different scenario
when you were doing this. And it was people in
their homes and they were praying and speaking
the Name of Jesus and, and, JR: God showed me the
spirit realm because the thing, see, the
devil's got, the devil is very powerful. You
know, it's undeniable. Let's say that.
But he doesn't have the right power
against Christians. So, I would astral
project leave my body, go around
wherever the devil, wherever the demonic
demon had a contract with. That's what they
call a civil court, because some of
course not a civil court. A civil court is
not a civil court, it's a contract. [unintelligible}
of what you make. So, when used to leave
and go over these regions, I would curse nine
out of ten regions, I would curse. The poverty spirit,
homosexual spirit, witchcraft spirit.
Alcohol spirits. I would straighten
out the corners, the four corners of
that region because it represents the four
corners of the world. I would curse it, make
it stronger. So, there were no way that they can
preach gospel there. So, I would do
all these things. But there was a
set of Christians. There was a
group of Christians. I called them special
ops, [Music] DC: Special ops, JR: Spiritual snipers.
They know how to pray. Spiritual warfare. DC: So, what would
happen when you would encounter that? When
you would see them? JR: When I would come
in, into that region, I would come into
the neighborhood. I would come in. And I was already in the
spirit and I would set up to kill steal and destroy
everything and just reinforce the devil's
work in that region. And I would see a group of
Christians holding hands in a circle.
A circle means unity. You can't
break that unity. You can't break that. There's power in unity. You know, there's
power in unity. You can command a
blessing, in unity. So, they had a
unity going on. And I know they
were the church, because they
would dress funny. DC: [Laughs] JR: So,
they would dress funny, had long clothes. You know, I knew
I knew, though, that they were not
devil worshipers. I knew. And they would
pray and the power of their prayers. The, the arsenal that was
coming out of their mouths would paralyze me and
would push me back and would chase me out
of that neighborhood. And I was so frustrated
because I knew that the devil was going to be
disappointed with me that night because I didn't
accomplish nothing in any area. In a neighborhood. That region. That country. DC: Wow! Wow. Well, we're going to
take a quick break. When we come back, [Music]
John is going to tell us about a time where he ran
right into a power that was greater than the
one that he served. We'll be right back.
[Music] [Music] DC: Welcome back to "Something More." I am here with John
Ramirez and John; I want to make sure we
don't move too quickly past what you just said
before we went to break. When you were astral
projecting all around these different regions
to, to put curses on them and you would
encounter believers. I just want believers to
know how powerful that was. JR: You know, at times
the enemy tricks you. He, he, he puts it in your
mind that your prayer's not working. That your prayers not
being effective because a lot of times we focus
too much in the natural. But God is a
supernatural God. And I believe
every prayer works. And, you know, so, so
these group of Christians that I encountered when I
used to astral project, where there was another
country or region or neighborhood. They
knew, they knew that their prayers
were powerful. Nothing comes back
more, when you put the Name of Jesus. Nothing. Nothing comes back
empty when you put the Name of Jesus. And nothing comes back
undone when you put the Name of Jesus.
Your prayers work. Your prayers are fearless. Your prayer's
unmovable, unshakable, all powerful. Your prayers are like a
nuclear bomb dropping into the devil's camp and the
devil- You bring back the devil to the
Flintstone ages. He will have
nothing to accomplish, anything grip you or
anything that he can do. When you start to pray. And one thing I
give an example, my daughter was very-
going through a lot of stuff. And now, one thing,
one thing, this is, this is, this is
the strategy that I had. I would say Lord,
what about my daughter? What about my daughter? My daughter is fragmented. My daughter,
she's not saved. My daughter, you
know, she speaks, she speaks wordly.
She will curse me. She will curse at me. And that was you know, and
one thing I've learned in my prayer language,
in my prayer life, I've learned. The Lord said, "Take care my house
and I'll take care yours." DC: That's good. Yeah. JR: And, and
when I went out, I started
doing altar calls. All little
people, all kids. I started to
pray over them. Pray over and
pray over them. I will pray
everywhere I go. I would do altar
call for all people, every churches and every-
And what I'm saying with this is the power of
prayer- that the devil can't do nothing because
the devil got power, but not power
against a real believer. And now I started to pray. And I start to
pray for the people. And I start to do things
for the other teenagers and other kids.
And know what? God. Now, today, my daughter
calls me for prayer. DC: That's awesome. JR: My daughter calls me
to look for spiritual, for godly wisdom.
And today, I have such an amazing relationship
with my daughter. And I'm saying
this that you can, you know, one thing. Pray for your
neighborhood. Pray for your neighbors. Pray for your community.
Go around. If you see things in your neighborhood
that aren't Godly. Lift them up and
pray to the Lord. "Today, we shut this down
in the Name of Jesus." Lord, I pray that this
place will become a church a front for a
church, Lord. Pray into the atmosphere. Pray into your
neighborhood. Pray into your region. Pray to your community. Change the atmosphere
in your community, change your neighborhood. And God will
change your family. DC: Yes. Wow! Tell me about how that
transformation happened to you. You had met a girl. You liked the girl. She invited you to church. So, you're like playing
the church thing but weren't willing to give up
the demonic thing either. So, you kind of
found yourself maybe, JR: Betwixt. Two ways. DC: Right. So, what happened? JR: So, I was committed
to one and falling in love with the other one.
And then when the girl was, I think the girl was, she was something that God used at the moment
because I was like, well, I go in
relationship for her, she lived right in
my neighborhood. I don't have
to move my car. So, I thought,
you know, I said, gosh I said, gosh, I
don't have to go far. We can walk
around the neighborhood, get something to
eat or whatever. And that was my, my
thinking because I wasn't involved in the
witchcraft for us, for her. I'm not into witchcraft,
I wouldn't lead to witchcraft for my
girl, my mom, my daughter. I'm here to the end. I know I'm going to hell,
but I don't really care because you know
what? I'm going to finish everything I need to finish.
The devil wants me to finish. And that was my
mindset. You know? And somehow the
girl says, "Hey, you know, we
got together." And she said, "So, if
I stop dating people. And you stop
dating, people, and we date each
other." So, Okay. "Well, you know,
you're convenient. You live two minutes away
so that it works for me." And she's very pretty.
I'm taking nothing away from that.
But the thing was, that was God's plan. And I came to church. And when I came to
church, I asked the devil permission first. I asked the devil
permission because you had to ask the devil
permission for every step of the way. So, I sat down that night.
I spoke to the devil, the presence of the enemy,
came to the room. I said, "Some girl
invited me to church, should I go?" And he said, he said, "Go, those
people are weak." DC: Ohhhhh! JR: "They're weak
people. You can go. You got more
power than they do. So, I went to church. Then some, lots of
stuff happened after that. DC: But when you got into
that place where you were feeling pulled, you
know, the demonic. And then, you know,
this introduction to true Christianity
and believers. I mean, you got to
the point where you, you wanted out of
something to where you are even thinking of
committing suicide. JR: Yes, you know,
it came to a point, it came to a point. I got demon
possessed in church. I grabbed the pastor
by the throat. I picked them
up in the air. I said, "I came to
kill you today." The pastor
couldn't breathe, the pastor was turning
purple and people who rushed, all these men
rushed and tried to take me off from him. Other people went
into spiritual warfare, praying for me,
a person that, you know, you
should of hated A person that you should
have been grossed and disgusted, why
he's here in church. This person is the enemy. "Well, well, we
have to pray for him." And people went into
spiritual warfare praying for me at that moment. It happened twice and then
I would feel like I was being torn by the
enemy this way, and, but I was feeling
like I was being torn by the Lord Jesus
Christ this way. And I was losing my mind. So, I said, "Well,
maybe I'll commit suicide. I can leave my daughter
the insurance because I love my daughter." Because of how
messed up I was. I loved my daughter. I didn't know
how to love her, but I loved her. And I shall
leave her the money. I'll commit suicide.
I sat on the bed that October night and
I felt God was still, God was still trying to
get a hold of me. But it was so hard to
shake the love of Jesus. It was so hard. I mean. It was so even
to the point, I came from a
club one night, to just make a
long story short. There was a man
in a wheelchair, and the devil
said, "Attack him!" And I tell the man,
"You got in the wheelchair because it is," I said,
"It's a false prophesy." Um, I had a guy that was
a New York City Narcotics Police officer. This guy was hardcore.
He started to cry. I said, "I'm not going to
hang out with you anymore, you're a sissy." So, I walked away, and
I went home that night. And in my bed, I said,
if I commit suicide, the devil can't get me,
and Jesus can't get me. So, my daughter
would get the money. And I said, then I just I
just said it like this, I said, "God, I
don't know who you are, Jesus, whatever
they call you, I don't want to be part
of you. I said, "Where were you
when my mom was getting beat up?
Where were you when my brothers and
me went hungry? Where were you when my
brother and me was wearing the same outfit, the
same clothes to school for three years.
Where were you when my mother was
getting beat up all night long?
You didn't show up. You left me at
the schoolyard. DC: Yeah. JR: As a little boy,
you passed me by at the schoolyard. I said, You don't love me. I'm going to finish my
course with the devil. DC: And did you really? John, did you really say
to God, "You either prove to me who you are or
leave me alone." JR: Yeah, I did,
because that was it. I was up to here;
I was up to here. This is the first time I
was feeling depressed. The first time ever I
was in depression where I would dance to
the commercials. I'll be in every
club, I was in, and that was up
to here already. I was I. I said, "Listen, I don't
know what they call you, Jesus, God, whatever
your Name is, leave me alone. If you're not going to
prove to me that you're not bigger than my
daddy, the devil, then leave me alone. I don't want
nothing to do with you. I renounce all this stuff. I
don't want nothing to do with you. I told you.
Leave me alone." And I fell into this
deep sleep like Adam. And now, I mean Jesus
took the Pepsi Challenge. He showed up. And
I left my body. I left my body for
the first time ever, like never in my life. I
used to astral project. Like I have more
mileage than any airline. Astral project so much. I was so addicted to
astral projecting, I would astral project
during the day. That's how, you're
supposed to astral project at night only. I was so hooked on astral
projecting that when I left my body that night. And then it ended up in
this place that has an address called Hell. I
walked the portals of hell. I was on a train
that was hell bound. I left my body and I
ended up in a train, hell bound. And
the train hit hell. In such power
and such speed. That speed is not even
described on the earth. That's how fast I
was going to hit. Opened the doors. I stepped out into
hell and I said, "I don't belong here." And when I stepped on
the grounds of hell, it was breathing. And I saw people from the
occult in hell that were still alive on the earth
saying that they're not going to make it. And I walked the portal
of hell and the cross of Jesus Christ showed up. The devil tried to
kill me in hell, but the cross
protected me. I came back into my body
in nineteen ninety-nine. I knew that I was my only
chance that God was giving me to surrender my life,
to the Lord Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ said,
"I always loved you." Wow! DC: And that is
exactly what John did. He surrendered
his life and now, look out devil! [Music] Because John
Ramirez is ready to evict you. We're going to be back
in just a moment with more from John Ramirez. [Music] [Music] CD: Welcome back to "Something More," everyone. I'm here with
John Ramirez, and as you just heard,
John was miraculously and powerfully saved.
And John, now you are like a coach that knows
all of the strategies in the whole playbook
of the enemy. So, what are you
doing with that? JR: You know, I
today, you know, I sit in the office
as evangelist. I travel the
world, preach. The Lord has given me
a ministry to work. I would say God,
giving me something to glorify His Name. And I always say
when I leave the earth, I'll make Jesus Christ,
Proud and the devil will rejoice that I
left a battlefield. And I know the plans and
the schemes and the wilds, and the patterns
and cycles of the kingdom of darkness. See, the kingdom of
darkness works in patterns and cycles. That's why you see
people get free. Six months later, they're
back in the same situation because there's patterns
and cycles that the enemy has a grip on that
person. Whether it's fear- you know, fear
starts with worry and your worry starts with panic. And panic turns into fear. DC: Yes. JR: And it just
trickles down like, like, like a ripple effect. And
I am teaching believers. I'm teaching people all
over the world that you can give fear an
eviction notice. You can cut the rope. You don't have
to live in fear. You don't have to be
tormented in your mind over something
that is temporary. Storms don't last.
And I got the playbook of the enemy. How
you can break away. And be set free. DC: Yes. Yes. Well, I want you to
pray before we leave. I'd like for you to
minister to those that might be suffering from
any type of fear today. And then also a salvation
prayer for those that want to know this powerful,
powerful God. JR: Amen, amen. So, I just,
I just want to just, I just want to speak
to your heart today. You know, I, I grew up in
a place that was broken, fragmented. I grew
up in a place that were, the pieces were missing. And the only person I
know how to put the puzzle together, I think He's
the Master Architect of your life. It's
Jesus Christ. All you have to say. You could say like John
Ramirez said, hey, if you're
for real, show me. Wherever you are. You can say,
Lord, show me. And these are
simple prayers. Say Lord, you know,
forgive me for my sins and be my Lord
and Savior. Come into my life
and write my story. And I believe that God
would take that challenge. He will write your story. And I just want to
pray for people tonight. I just want to pray
for people today that, you're gripped
by something. You are paralyzed by
something. And a lot of times
we, a lot of times, we grow old, but
we don't grow up. A lot of time we're stuck
in a place that we should have been further up
ahead on down the road. And I'm praying for you
today in the Name of Jesus Christ, because that's
the Name that's above every name. So if
you're oppressed, depressed, if you're
going to suicide thoughts, if you're going
to fear, anxiety, whatever situation, there
is a Name that is above every name that
we just mentioned, that Name is the
Lord Jesus Christ. Every name has to
bow down to that Name. So Father, in
the Name of Jesus, today, we paralyze,
we break, destroy, dismantle, uproot,
we curse at the root in the Name of
Jesus Christ right now, fear and any
demonic, satanic attack over anyone right now
that is listening. We paralyze the
devil's camp. We confuse their language. You let those devils
attack one another, the Name of Jesus. I set your family,
free, set you free. Whether you
have infirmity. DC: Yes. JR: You might have cancer. You might be in a place
that you think that you're done, but you're not done. It is a beginning,
a new beginning. So, Father, right now we
put the devil on notice in Jesus Name and we break
these demonic powers over every person.
Over every person that is listening to the
sound of my voice. God, this is a divine
appointment to set people free. So,
we thank you, Lord, for the freedom and
the healing, [Music] and the deliverance power
of Jesus Christ. Amen. DC: Yes. Amen, John,
thanks for being with us. JR: Thank you so much. Amen. DC: Thank you
for watching "Something More" today. Hope you'll
join us next time. [Music]
