Experience Freedom & Victory with John Ramirez & Sid Roth!
When his abusive father was murdered, John Ramirez made Satan his father. But when God stepped into John’s life, He had other ideas. Now John’s passion is to keep you three steps ahead of the devil.
Is there a supernatural
dimension?
a world beyond the one we know?
Is there life after death?
Do angels exist?
Can our dreams contain messages
from Heaven?
Can we tap into ancient secrets
of the supernatural?
Are healing miracles real?
Sid Roth has spent over 35 years
researching the strange world of
the supernatural.
Join Sid for this edition of
It’s Supernatural!
Sid: Hello. Sid Roth here.
Welcome to my world where it’s
naturally supernatural.
My guest’s father was the devil.
I’m serious. He has
a new father now, God.
And is passion based on his
former knowledge is to keep you
three steps ahead of the devil.
You know, all of us have had
real challenges in our lives,
but John, you really had
challenges.
Your father practiced something
called Santeria.
John: Santeria.
Sid: Which is just a demonic
religion I assume.
John: Yes.
It’s the number one demonic
religion in the world today.
Sid: And your father and your
mother, constant turmoil.
He used to beat her.
But when you were eight years
old your mom took you to a Tarot
reader.
What happened.
John: My mom was going with my
aunt and basically when I got
there the lady, the witch that
read the cards, she focused on
me.
She didn’t focus on my mom.
She didn’t focus on my aunt.
She told my mom that she saw in
the spirit that I was going to
lose my eyesight and if I didn’t
get a ceremony done within the
next 30 days I was going to be
completely blind.
So my mom panicked as any mother
would and my mom allowed me to
get the cards read.
The lady read and they went on
and a couple days later they
initiated me to the dark side at
the age of eight years old.
Sid: And when at 13, you
actually were willing or praying
for your father to die?
John: Yes.
I remember my half-brother and
brothers, and we would stay up
all night, and he beat my mother
all night long.
So he would beat my mother all
night.
So we would be in the room.
Sometimes we ran out of the room
to try and help my mom from
beating her, and he would throw
us around, and then we’d go back
into the room.
And so one day I sat on the bed
and started to pray, was just
praying.
I wasn’t even praying to God.
I was just praying and saying, I
hope he dies, I hope he dies.
I hope someone kills him.
And at the age of 13 years old,
my father got shot at the age of
33, in the face, from a woman at
a social club when he had a wife
home.
Sid: Did you feel guilty about
that?
John: I was rejoicing, to be
truthfully honest.
I was rejoicing because I know
the torment and the hate in my
house, and the solid pain to go
to school and put up a face as a
young boy, and act like
everything was okay at home, to
put up a face and knowing that
there was nothing but torment in
my house.
Sid: You began to really grow in
the demonic and you, why did you
feel Satan was your father?
John: My father was a devil
worshiper and that came from a
generation of devil worshipers
on my father’s side, generation
to generation, Santeria,
spiritualism, card readings,
Palo Mayombe.
Palo Mayombe is when you sell
your soul to the devil and you
make a contract with the blood,
which I did later on in my
years.
And I would sit with the devil
and speak to the devil all night
long.
I was going to demon church at
the age of eight years from
seven in the evening until five
in the morning to be trained
with principalities, demonic
spirit, territory spirit.
I was learning stuff in the
spirit realm beyond the age of
eight.
So to me was, I told the devil,
when you kill my father, you
know, you can have me.
So I told the devil, you can
have me, and the devil said, I
replace the old with the new.
Sid: But God had a secret
weapon, a beautiful woman and
she invited you to church.
What happened?
John: Actually, she was a
backslider.
She was a backslider.
So God got two for the price of
one.
Sid: So what happened when you
went to that church?
John: Actually, I went to the
church.
I asked the devil permission.
I asked the devil, could I got
to church.
He said, “Go to church.
People are weak.
They don’t have no strength
against us.
They don’t have no power against
us.
You can go to church.” I was
after the girl because she was a
pretty girl and she lived in the
neighborhood, so I didn’t have
to move my car around, so we
could go eat anywhere.
So I thought that was a good
deal.
But you know, God was setting up
a game plan, you know, for my
life.
Sid: You really got upset one
time with the pastor.
What happened?
John: Well you know, the devil,
I went to church a little too
much without asking permission
any more.
And then the devil said, the
devil showed up in church.
In church, the devil showed up
and I hear the devil whisper in
my ear and tell me, “I didn’t
tell you to come this Sunday.
I didn’t give you permission to
come this Sunday.” It was
strange because the pastor did
an altar in the middle of the
service.
Usually they do that at the end
of the service.
So I got up.
I said, well if I go by the
pastor the devil won’t blast me.
He will leave me alone.
So when I went up, people came
up to the middle, so I was one
of the last ones to pray for.
So I stayed here by the time he
came.
I didn’t want him to pray for me
anyway.
But by the time he gets to me
he’s tired and the devil is
gone.
That was my plan.
But when he came up to me, the
devil possessed me right there,
and I grabbed him by the throat
and I picked him up in the air,
and I said, “Today is the day
you’re going to die.” And then
all this foul stuff came out my
mouth and people jumped out of
their seats, and I mean, big men
jumped out of their seats, tried
to grab me down and peel my
hands off the pasture’s throat.
He was turning purple.
Sid: But he goes home and he
prays a prayer, an unbelievable
prayer.
Listen to this.
John cried out to God, “If you
are bigger than my god, with a
small “g”, although he didn’t
know it at the time, than my god
that I serve, show me tonight or
just leave me alone.
When we come back, we’re going
to find out what happened from
that prayer.
We’ll be right back to
It’s Supernatural!
We now return to
It’s Supernatural!
Sid: I’m here with John Ramirez.
And John, his whole life was
devoted to his father, the
devil.
He literally had that
relationship with the devil.
And a pretty girl says, let’s go
to church.
He goes to this church.
He almost kills the pastor.
The devil just had total control
over him.
He goes home and he cries out to
God, “If you are bigger than the
god I serve show me or just
leave me alone.” After you
prayed that prayer, what
happened?
John: I just sat on the bed.
It was just something that just
came out.
It wasn’t even planned, and
because I really don’t want to
be Christian.
I thought Christianity was not
for me.
It was something that it wasn’t
my taste, my cup of tea.
My thing was devil worship,
recruiting people, running
regions, putting spells on
people, making a lot of money
doing that.
But I went into this deep sleep
like an anesthesia sleep, and I
ended up on this train that was
going faster than anything you
could imagine.
And the train was filled with
people, but the people, you
could see their faces, because
their faces were blank.
And when the train crashed and
hit, it opened the doors and it
ended up in Hell.
And when I ended up in hell…
Sid: Now when you say that you
had this dream, but you also
told me earlier that it really
was a real experience.
John: It was a real experience.
This was more real than the
oxygen I breathe, Sid.
This was more real than the
oxygen I breathe.
There was no way for me to leave
25 years of devil worshiping at
$100 dollar an hour witchcraft
stuff in my house for a guy
named Jesus that I had never
seen in my life.
Sid: So you find yourself in
Hell.
John: I find myself in Hell.
I’m running to the portals of
Hell trying to find a way out, a
window, a door and then, first
of all, this fear grips on you
like a garment.
It trips on you and then you
hear wailing and you hear so
much things going on at the same
time.
You’re so desperate, you want to
get out.
And when I’m trying to get out
the devil shows up in Hell and
tells me, “I’m going to keep you
here, you know too much about
the occult, you know, too much.
I gave you too much rank, too
much secrets.
I need to destroy you.” As he’s
saying that, he’s coming, he’s
going to launch at me.
As he’s launching towards me
this cross appeared in Hell and
I put it on him, and he fell out
like a tumbler.
And so I got back up and I ran,
and then he tells me, somewhere
down in the deeper part of Hell
he shows up again.
He says, I’m going to destroy
you.
So here I am talking to him
demonic tongues because the
devil copies everything from the
Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Sid: He can’t create it.
John: He can’t create a thing.
Sid: He’s a counterfeit.
John: He’s a counterfeit boot
leg and a copycat for real.
So he here I am.
Here I am there.
He comes out again and I said,
“I’m gonna destroy you,” I told
him.
And I showed him the marks that
I had sold my soul.
He said, “Oh you are a fool.
I gave you those marks.
I own you.” Again, he went to
grab me for the last time.
The cross of Jesus Christ
appeared and he fell.
I mean, he actually fell on the
foot of the cross.
He just fell down on the foot of
the cross like he was
worshiping.
He fell down.
I woke up out of the dream.
It’s like when I see you and you
hit those things on your chest
to bring you back to life,
that’s what happened to me.
I was something hit me.
I came back into life and I knew
then that night that Yeshua was
the truth, the way and the life.
And I bend my knee.
Sid: You tell me that you now
have a new father.
Who’s your father?
John: I have a father that I
can’t even describe.
He has to be real.
That’s how awesome he is.
The days, everything of my
tormenting days, the days of my
father.
Sid: There’s one thing that I
asked John off the air.
I said, “John, you went through
a lot of stuff.
I mean, if you could get free
from the devil, anyone could get
free.
But aren’t you fearful today?”
What did you say to me?
John: The only fear I carry in
my heart for life, because I’m
doing a life sentence for Jesus
Christ and I want no parole.
So the only life, the only one I
fear is God, is Yeshua the
Messiah.
That’s the only person I fear.
I fear no devil, I fear no
witch, I fear no voodoo, I fear
no witchcraft, I fear no man but
the man Jesus Christ.
Sid: You know, I had an
experience yesterday in my
office and John was there.
For about a month I’ve had a
demonic force that has just been
at me and at me, and at me.
So I said, would you pray for
me.
And here’s what surprised me.
He prayed for me.
That didn’t surprise me.
But the way he prayed surprised
me.
He said to me after he prayed,
“You’re not going to have a
problem with that demon again.”
How did you know that?
John: Sid, God is good and he,
that’s guaranteed.
God has guaranteed you.
Sid: That’s what he told me, God
has guaranteed you’re not going
to have a problem.
And guess what?
I haven’t.
Okay.
All right.
John, there are demonic
gateways.
What are they?
John: The gateways are the
mouth, your ear gate, your mouth
gate, your eye gate, stuff you
watch on television, the videos
you play.
Sid: Can someone watching a
wrong movie or something wrong
on TV actually have a gateway to
the demonic?
John: Oh absolutely, Sid,
because you got to remember the
devil will put something on TV.
He can anesthetize your mind.
And if he can anesthetize the
person’s mind and they don’t
have the Christ any more, now
you’re more addicted on the
stuff on TV than going home and
spending time with God.
So now I stole your prayer
closet.
Sid: What about so many men,
including men and women,
including Christians are now
addicted to pornography.
It’s slipped in so easily.
Is, could that be a doorway to
the demonic?
John: Absolutely.
Book of Psalms, 91, speaks about
the foreign entrapments of the
enemy.
And one entrapment is the most
dangerous one, is the young
lion.
The young lion speaks about the
sin we can control.
But in the end, you don’t kill
it and they’re controlling you.
So you got 80 percent of people
that walk with the Lord,
Christians, that are bound to
pornography because they thought
that, hey, I can turn it off any
time I want.
I don’t have to watch it today.
Sid: That’s what alcoholic say.
John: Yes.
Sid: I can stop any time I want.
John: Any time I want.
Sid: But they can’t.
John: But they can’t because
there’s a stronghold and the
demon attaches to that
stronghold, and if you don’t
break the legal rights and
renounce it you will never be
free.
Sid: You’re telling me that you
could pray a prayer as strongly
as you prayed in my office
yesterday and they can be free?
John: They can be free.
I prayed for a gentleman in
Japan over the phone.
He was manifesting, I mean stuff
was coming out of this man, and
he turned around, and he sent me
a letter.
He said, “Thank you because
Yeshua set me free.” Sid: I want
you to pray for someone at home
that wants to be set free of
pornography and addictions of
any kind.
Would you pray that right now.
John: I tell you, Sid, God has
called me.
My purpose, my destiny in the
church today is to unmask the
devil.
Now once I unmask the devil for
you, you will see how small he
is and how great is your God.
Sid: I have to ask John to do
something.
I want you to look in that
camera and I want you to tell me
how small the devil is and how
big God is.
Will you do that?
John: I tell you right now, you
want to be free?
I promise you in the name of
Jesus, you can be free right
now, from any tormenting spirit,
from any spirit that’s calling
your mind, from any combination,
any pornographic, any torture,
any tormentors that are sent
your way, I break it in the name
of Jesus right now.
I bind every satanic attack over
your life, your purpose, your
destiny, pornography, anything
that is holding, suicide,
oppression, depression, I break
it.
Any pharmacia spirits, I bind it
right now.
The Lord has told you, the Lord
is speaking to me right now.
He says he’s going to set you
free and once you take that
freedom you give it back to
Jesus.
Now be free in Jesus’ name, the
unmatchable name of Jesus.
Sid: Yeah. Yeah.
John is going to unmask the
devil.
When we come back he’s going to
say to us, from his experience,
what is the greatest weapon a
believer in the Messiah has to
expose the devil and I’m telling
you, you have no fear of the
demonic when you know who Jesus
is, when you know who your
father is.
I mean, he is so big, the devil
trembles when you find this out.
We’re going to be right back.
We’ll be right back to
It’s Supernatural!
We now return to
It’s Supernatural!
Sid: So John, from your
knowledge of, back there, what
are the, what’s the strongest
weapon we have against the
devil?
John: I believe the Word of God
is the strongest weapon you can
ever have on this planet.
You have to learn how to
appropriate it.
You have to know how to use it.
You have to know how to apply
it.
I think a lot of believers,
they’re not learning how to
bring up targets in the enemy’s
camp.
My intimacy with God brings me,
gives me authority and the enemy
recognizes that you are a child
of God and he knows the
authority God has given you.
Sid: Can anyone have the same
authority you have?
John: God is no respecter of
persons.
Sid: What should someone do if
they’re sleeping at night and
all of a sudden they feel an
oppression, they feel something
in the room and that’s not good?
What would you do?
John: You know, I had an
incident not too long ago.
The devil showed up in my room.
I mean, the devil himself showed
up in my room and cold like an
ice box, and it woke me up.
I knew there was something there
that wasn’t pleasant.
And he tells me, and I hear him,
and I hear him like an audible.
He said, “If you turn on the
light I will leave.” And I hear
the Holy Spirit deep down inside
of me telling me, “If you turn
on the light you have no faith.”
And I live by myself, John and
two pillows.
I got up.
I got me some water.
I said, “I’ll see you in the
morning.
I rebuke you in the name of
Jesus Christ.
I bind you and I command you to
leave, and you got 30 seconds to
go.” Sid: But you see, he knows
his authority.
I want you to know your
authority.
The devil trembles when a
believer knows the Word of God
and the authority behind it, and
the name of Jesus.
You told me when you were in the
dark side that you used to do
something called astral
projection.
John: Yes.
Sid: You go to neighborhoods.
What would be doing in those
neighborhoods?
John: I would ask, my mission
was to astral project, leave my
body.
I was so good at it that I would
even go during the day in
neighborhoods that were day
time, and the ones that were
night time I would go back and
forth, and I would throw curses,
and I would bring new
principality from one region to
another so there could be
patterns and cycles to happen in
the spirit realm so those people
won’t grow and they won’t meet
Jesus.
So that, but they had amazing
believers that knew how to pray
in the spirit, that would stop
me from going into their
neighborhood and executing the
plan of the enemy.
Sid: You’re telling me that
these believers could, you could
not do anything.
You couldn’t put curses on them?
John: I couldn’t even lift a
finger.
Sid: Now how important is
praying in the spirit, praying
in unknown languages?
John: The spirit, praying in the
spirit is like if you don’t, if
your body doesn’t have water you
would die.
If the believer today is not
praying in the spirit you would
die spiritually.
Sid: You were telling me about
these cycles and patterns.
What do you mean by that?
John: Repeat.
A lot of believers today don’t
know how to cut the rope.
I lot of believers today,
they’re free for six months then
they go back to the bondage for
eight months.
They cut the rope and then they
go back again because it’s like
the enemy knows how to put
entrapment on the believer and
then the believer, and then
today I have a righteous anger,
Sid, that the church is
preaching people happy, but
they’re not preaching people
free.
Sid: Boy, that’s a mouthful.
John: I don’t want to go to
church to be happy.
I can be happy at home.
I want to go to church and have
you teach me how to fight the
enemy, teach me how to be free,
teach me how to save my
marriage, teach me how to get my
children out of drugs, how to
beat the devil like no tomorrow.
And I believe, and that’s what
God has called me to unmask the
devil in the towns that we’re in
and not because of me, is
because who lives in me is
greater than he that lives in
the world.
Sid: I believe, that’s for sure.
I believe that when John prays
for you right now and I am
amazed, I am learning so much so
quickly.
You think I would know by now.
I am learning my authority over
sickness, my authority over the
demons.
And I want you to pray that
spirits of infirmity, of
sickness will come off of
people, and I’m going to tell
you something.
You’ve been going to doctor for
years and years, and years, and
they’re treating the symptoms
and it’s not even getting
better.
You have high blood pressure and
they just give you more
medicine.
You know what I’m talking about.
You just get rid of that spirit
of infirmity and watch
everything work.
Pray that right now.
John: Father, in the name of
Jesus, right now, I bind the
strong man over the airways in
the name of Jesus.
I bind the gatekeeper.
I bind any reinforcement.
I shut down the second and first
[unintelligible] with the blood
of Jesus Christ.
I paralyze every devil, every
hell, every demon.
I paralyze infirmity of sickness
right now.
Father, I separate one from
another.
I change their languages,
confuse them.
I send civil war to the enemy’s
camp to let them destroy each
other.
Loose the person right now.
Loose the person in the name of
Jesus.
I bring healing.
I speak healing into your life
right now.
I speak restoration.
I speak restitution upon your
life.
I put the devil under your feet
and keep him there.
Father, in Jesus’ name I cage up
every demon, my God, in the name
of Jesus.
I put the blood of Jesus in
those demon boxes and let them
be tormented night and day, and
I close this prayer right now.
Father, I come against
retaliation.
I come against retribution.
I come against any
[unintelligible] the spirit in
the imaginable name of Jesus.
Sid: Okay.
Let every man be a liar, but
God’s Word, I tell you, God’s
Word is true.
And God’s Word says, by his
stripes, by his wounds, by his
blood you were healed.
Now be free.
The truth will set you free.
Sid: Next week on
It’s Supernatural!
My guest is a seer.
That means he can see in the
invisible world just as most
people can see in the natural
world.
And this is what he told me:
Many people’s angels, and
everyone’s got an angel, many of
your angels are unemployed.
Why?
Because you don’t know how to
cooperate with them.
Anyone want to learn?
Your gifts to this ministry will
help Sid air It’s Supernatural
in Israel 28 times a week and
distribute his evangelistic book
to the Jewish people worldwide.
