I Prayed have prayed
Lord, Marxists have been infiltrating every level of society for decades. Wake up the people to what this means and inspire us to pray and take action.

“I never thought America would come to accept the Marxist ideology,” said former communist Héctor J. Ramírez, who says it has made us “a society of madness.” He pointed out that Karl Marx took ideas from Scripture, and created what Ramírez calls “Christianity without God.” Now Marx’s modern followers are putting his ideas into society and even the Church.

Ramírez explained how communists were chased out of Nazi Germany by Hitler — who was himself socialist (Nazi stands for Nationalsozialistische or National Socialists). Those communists set up in America on college campuses like Berkley, Brandeis, and Columbia with the goal of infiltrating every influential system in America. They called it “the march through the institutions.”

Ramírez said, “By the 80s in America, many people were coming out of most colleges as Marxists without knowing it. That was part of the project.”

Ramírez said, “Christ is the only answer for the problems of humanity,” and his prayer is that the Church will stop receiving the atheistic “help” provided by Marxist philosophers, return to the Bible, and help society see the dangers of embracing communism, which he now calls, “very dangerous.”

As a boy (he thinks he was between seven and nine) Ramírez saw a play and wanted to learn how to create theatre, which had moved him so deeply. He took classes from the actors, who happened to be communists. They “brainwashed” him into their ideologies, but eventually, he accepted an invitation to attend an evangelical church. I asked him why he went as an atheist, and he said he didn’t know. I told him someone was praying for him. Immediately he said, “My mom.”

Don’t stop praying for the prodigals in your life!

Ramírez’s description of how he accepted the Lord could be straight out of one of the great revivals.

In 2007 Ramírez founded Madrid’s Ars Performing Arts Center, where his wife Lilli Szinovatz continues to teach dance. In 2019 Ramírez left the leadership with others so he and Lilli could form Ars Vitalis, through which he is writing and directing material focused on reaching a post-modern world, including a musical called Animal Talk, partly inspired by George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

Ramírez was in New York City preparing to bring the musical here. He took the time to talk and pray with me about his new work, America’s slow embrace of cultural Marxism, and the upcoming election, which will either take us further toward communism or arrest that frantic pace.

Ramírez prayed that “we would be delivered from the dictatorship of fear that has been established in the West,” and that “we’ll have a government in America which will be favorable for the Gospel and will be against evil.”

Post your prayers for America to reject Cultural Marxism and for the work Ramírez is doing to expose it and show those brain washed by these ideologies the folly of following them.

Sixty years ago as a secular humanist I attended International Christian University in Tokyo. Despite the “Christian” in its name, ICU was almost entirely Marxist, even then. I remember a philosophy teacher handed students paragraph descriptions of world philosophies without labeling them, and asked us which came closest to our own beliefs. I remember one of them described a belief system that “God sent His Son to earth as a man to die for everyone’s sins so those who believe in Him can be forgiven and live forever.” Of all the philosophies presented I dismissed that one as the most bizarre and preposterous one, wondering who thought THAT up? Instead, I chose one that stated something like, “Government should see to it that everyone works according to his ability and shares what they have equally with those in need.” That made sense to me.

While at ICU I met a group of students who were real (Chinese) Christians, whose love for each other, genuine and generous caring for others drew me to want to have the joy I saw in them and be the kind of people they were. Through one of them I met an American missionary who led me to saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Once saved, I came to recognize that the philosophy I had chosen as representing my own beliefs was communism/socialism/Marxism. I also came to understand that in this world that idealistic view will never work–because of the existence of sin. We are all sinners, unrighteous and self-serving. What would start out as the ideal society would inevitably end up (as in George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm) with some making themselves “more equal than others” and taking away the rights of the rest.

I am grateful to know that the only philosophy not invented by man but revealed by God first deals with our sin through the sinless Jesus paying for them all. Then He motivates and empowers us to be part of a society (the church) where HE rules and we voluntarily devote all we have to Him for His re-distribution to those who need it.

Father God, I pray in Jesus’s Name that our coming elections will produce a free and Godly government led by You, one that used to exist when we first became a country. I rebuke all Marxism and/or communism in the power of Jesus’s victorious Name who has already won our battle. May we unite together and be the USA again , the Light on the hill to the world.

Heavenly Father, thank You that all wisdom and power is Yours. The prayer that Daniel uttered to You in Daniel 2 – priceless! Thank You for the steadfast teaching in it and reminding us that any empire that comes against You will be defeated by “The Rock – JESUS”! This empire called ‘marxism’ will not stand against the mighty name of Jesus. We declare it destroyed by the King of Kings, Jesus Himself. We give You all praise and glory for Your ultimate, supernatural plan that cannot fail and by the Spirit, reveal these things which we are to ponder on and pray about. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Thank you Rich for the excellent interview with Hector, our Brother in Christ Jesus. He shared so much wisdom & insight into Cultural Marxism which opened my eyes with an increased understanding of the subtle march towards evil that we the Body of Christ need to be aware of and praying against In JESUS’ Victorious Name. Praying for the LORD to bless Hector with favor, abundant financial support and for the LORD’S miraculous provision for all that he needs for his voice to be heard for the LORD’S purpose. In JESUS’ Mighty name. Amen.

Lord, please grant Bro. Ramirez a broad platform for his message and warning to America. Any ideology, like communism, that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, we take authority over, and declare it’s ultimate demise. May Your people quit being lazy about their thought lives, in allowing ‘stinking thinking’ to infiltrate their minds and bear poisonous fruit. Confront us with the need and responsibility to keep our thought lives pure, and to actively rebuke and reject what is not true, replacing it with what is Truth!

2 Cor. 10:3-5  For although we do live in the world, we do not wage war in a worldly way;  because the weapons we use to wage war are not worldly. On the contrary, they have God’s power for demolishing strongholds. We demolish arguments and every arrogance that raises itself up against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey the Messiah.

Phil. 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Thank you, Rich. I join that prayer that “we would be delivered from the dictatorship of fear that has been established in the West,” and that “we’ll have a government in America which will be favorable for the Gospel and will be against evil.” Only God can change hearts.
