Colorado MAGA pol Victor Marx says ‘Satan is not equal to God’ after he ‘met’ devil in exorcism as Texas prison 

Colorado’s Republican nominee for governor, Victor Marx insisted that Satan operates as an inferior spiritual force to God while recounting a dramatic confrontation with what he believed was the devil during a prayer session at a maximum-security youth prison in Texas.

Marx made the theological declaration on his podcast, “The Victor Marx Podcast,” in February 2020, describing an encounter he said left other girls and gang members so frightened that they huddled together in fear.

Per Marx’s account, he was leading a Bible study when a teenage girl began exhibiting what he characterized as demonic manifestations so intense that he convinced guards to allow him access to her cell alone, where he performed what he calls a “retooling prayer.”

“I was like, ‘Well, whoever you are, you know, Christ, you got to come under the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ right now,’” Marx explained. “Because, see, Satan, he’s not equal to God. He’s a created being. He’s a fallen angel, right?”

The Texas prison encounter

In his recounting, Marx described asking the entity to identify itself and the response came through the teenager’s voice: “I am Satan.”

“This demon was — it was horrible — just really manifested pretty nasty,” Marx said, adding. “It’s a little girl. … She’s a little girl, a pretty girl, just adorable, just like a little girl you want to bring home and just make her your daughter, except she had a demon in her.”

“All of a sudden this demon goes, ‘I guess you’re going to say I’m possessed.’” And I just — I just started laughing,” Marx shared. “I was like, ‘I don’t think I have to. It’s kind of obvious.’ I mean, really, that’s — I just snickered, which makes the devil mad.”

An unusual campaign profile

Marx founded All Things Possible Ministries in 2003 from his Colorado Springs base, a nonprofit operation he says has assisted more than 40,000 women and children. He has built his public identity primarily on stories of spiritual intervention, including claims that he has performed hundreds of exorcisms.

The ministry’s operations include what Marx describes as “spiritual warfare” sessions with individuals he believes are inhabited by demons.

Marx also gained attention during his campaign for a longstanding claim that his abusive stepfather forced him as a seven-year-old child to shoot and kill someone.

A record of questionable claims

Beyond his spiritual warfare accounts, Marx’s broader public statements have drawn scrutiny for verifiable inaccuracies. The claim that his ministry has rescued 40,000 women and children, prominently featured in campaign materials and ministry literature, was later removed from Marx’s website after journalists questioned its factual basis.

Marx has also claimed multiple black belt certifications in various martial arts and described himself as a “high-risk missionary” who has personally rescued civilians from conflict zones worldwide. These assertions, like many elements of his public narrative, remain difficult to independently verify through public records or documentation.

The November challenge

Marx secured the GOP nomination with 39.9 percent of the primary vote, meaning he lost the support of nearly 60 percent of participating Republican primary voters.

The November general election on November 3 will determine whether Colorado voters embrace Marx’s unconventional background and spiritual narrative.
