Number 1004, July 2010

Welcome to the Family with a Jewish Heart!

In 1977, Sid Roth started Messianic Vision. Sid’s heart’s desire is to reach out with the

good news of the Messiah, “to the Jew first” (Romans 1:16 KJV).

This is not just God’s historical order for spreading the gospel,

but also His eternal spiritual order. When we follow this “law

of evangelism,” God opens a supernatural door to reach

greater numbers of Gentiles. God’s heart is to reach all people.

His strategy is “to the Jew first.”

Yeshua (Jesus) creates “The One New Man”

from Jews and Gentiles.Jesus came to break down the wall

of separation between Jew and Gentile. The Messiah was a Jew, and the first believers were Jews.

But how did something that started so Jewish become the opposite

of Jewishness? God’s answer for restoration is the creation of the

“One New Man” as stated in Ephesians 2:14-16. He wants to reconcile His “family” which has grown apart for centuries. When

this happens, the stage is set for worldwide revival.

How Jesus Healed the Emotional Turmoil

in My Heart!

At age 15, when

I accepted Jesus

into my heart,

I felt a wonderful new

freedom in my spirit. I

was absolutely bursting

with joy in the Holy

Ghost! However, 25 years

later, that freedom was

gone and emotional

turmoil

ruled in my heart.

People and circumstances

had hurt me, and in response,

I had put up walls and

embraced negative beliefs which had

invited darkness and confusion back

into my soul.

When someone hurt me, I

remember saying, “People are evil

and hurtful, and so I am going to

withdraw myself from them.” There

you go: I had established an ungodly

belief and a corresponding inner vow.

The ungodly belief is that people

are evil and hurtful, and the inner

vow is, “I am going to withdraw from

them.” Of course satan and his

demons were glad to help

me with such beliefs

and actions, and so

they came and

filled my heart

with fear and

defensiveness.

When Jesus

healed this ungodly

belief, He said, “Mark,

people are hurting

and that is why

they hurt others.

I want you to

stay open and

vulnerable to

people and not

withdraw yourself from them. If you

do this, I will make you two promises:

First, people will hurt you, and

second, I will be standing right beside

you and if you turn to Me, I will heal

the hurt.”

I said “OK, Lord,” and God’s light

flooded my darkened heart, as I

removed an “anchor” that demons

were using to attach themselves to

me. This helped clear the way to cast

them out through deliverance prayer.

Deliverance was not easy for

me to begin to do. I had been taught

that demons could not infest a

Christian. Then an elder in my church

approached me wanting deliverance

for an uncontrollable sin. I, along

with two other

elders, prayed

deliverance prayer

and cast about

five demons out

of him. When

I checked back

with him over the

following years,

he confirmed over and over that

that sin area was now controllable.

Deliverance prayer was powerful!

So I entered the deliverance area

and cast thousands of demons out

of hundreds of Christians over the

next several years. People testified to

wonderful transformations in their

lives. Then came a day when I spent

45 minutes shouting at a demon to

leave in Jesus’ Name, but, while the

demon would manifest, it would not

leave. I had no idea why a demon

would not obey the Name of Jesus,

since every knee must bow to that

Name. So in theological confusion, I

stopped doing deliverance prayer.

Then ten years later, I needed

deliverance because my heart

was wounded

and I lived in a

state of constant

battle with fear,

doubt, unbelief,

anger, hatred,

rage, and several

other sins.

I discovered

a wonderful

Spirit-filled

prayer counselor who together with

her husband cast about 20 demons

out of me in three hours. And I was

free again! The war was over! The joy

and peace were back! I was thrilled.

Because I wanted to keep

the demons out, I spent the next

two months

searching for and

memorizing verses

that would close

the door so these

demons could

not come back. I

memorized verses

on the opposite

side of the coin from the issues I had

been delivered from. For example, to

keep anger out, I memorized verses

on love and mercy and forgiveness. To

keep fear out, I memorized verses on

faith and trust and belief, and so on.

I also did extensive two-way

journaling where I asked God what

He wanted to show me about these

areas, so I could think differently and

respond when tempted to go back

into my old ungodly thought patterns.

His daily counsel through journaling

was invaluable!

One journal entry which was

completely life transforming was this:

“Mark, whatever you fix your eyes upon grows within you, and whatever grows within you, you become.” God

taught me never to look at my sin

or my weakness or my strength, but

to look only at Him. This way Jesus

grew within me (Gal. 4:19), and I

became like Him, because I become a

reflection of that which I fix my eyes

upon (Heb. 12:1,2; 2 Cor. 3:18; 4:17,18).

The lady who prayed for me and

cast the demons out had prayed

six other prayers before attempting

deliverance prayer. And it was these

six other prayers which removed the anchors within me that the demons

were attached to. Then, when she got

around to deliverance prayer, it was

not a 45-minute shouting match. It

was a simple command for them to

leave, repeated three or four times,

and since they had no legal right to

stay, they left.

There was no intense shaking

or violent manifestation, no protest,

because they recognized that their

legal right to belong with me was

now broken. Now I understood: You

should not try to cast out a demon

until you have removed all his legal

ground for being there. Finally I had

found a smooth, easy protocol for

getting demons out and for getting

people healed! I was ecstatic and

taught people to use all seven of

these prayers.

Initially I thought that we should

determine which of the seven prayers

a person needs, and then offer them

only those. However, after working

with a number of people, I realized

that everyone needs all seven prayers.

To me, this is like taking a plow

through a field and getting the weedy,

neglected ground broken up and

ready for a new planting. These seven

prayers break up all the hardened soil

of our hearts, so we can cooperate

with God’s desire to remove our hard

Whatever you fix your eyes upon grows

within you, and whatever grows within

you, you become.

Paul chose not to live with his emotional pain. You can too!I’ve been struggling for many years with

a terrible wound in my heart.... After

only a couple of days with your teaching

on Prayers that Heal the Heart, I have

found amazing healing.... –Paul M.

heart, and receive the new heart He

has for us.

And if a person takes the time

to pray a prayer that he didn’t really

need, no damage is done. But if

a person misses a prayer that is

needed, then a root is left to allow

the demon back. I

decided it is better

to be safe than

sorry. I now pray

all seven prayers

with everyone,

completely

removing all legal

rights.

The seven prayers are: 1. Breaking generational sins

and curses2. Severing ungodly soul ties3. Repenting of ungodly beliefs4. Renouncing inner vows5. Receiving inner healing6. Breaking word curses7. Casting out demons

And don’t forget the follow up two-

way journaling and Bible meditation.

They are essential!

It is crucial that as you apply

these seven prayers, they come

from your heart and not just from

your head. A mechanical recitation of

the words will not bring healing. You

must use the language of the heart

to heal the heart. Through careful

Bible exploration, God has shown

me that the language of the heart

is flow (“…out of his heart will flow

rivers of living water” Jn. 7:37-39),

pictures (Acts 2:17), emotion (Ezek.

3:14), and pondering and meditation

(Ps. 77:6). So as I pray, I need to see

what I am praying and tune to the

flow of spontaneous thoughts and

pictures. For example, in inner

healing prayer, I invite Jesus into

the painful scene and ask Him to

move freely. I watch what He does as

the scene comes alive with the life of

the Holy Spirit.

Does it work? Yes, my heart is free and has remained free for the last ten years. This story has been repeated

by hundreds I have

ministered to. It will

work for you and for

your loved ones!

Wholeness

involves letting

God’s truth, light

and revelation fill

us, which drives out

demons and their darkness and lies.

We can do this on our own, but for

greater effectiveness, we can connect

with others who are on the same

path. I love teaming up with like-

minded believers.

Jesus chose to send His disciples

out by twos, and the Bible

says that a chord of three is

not quickly broken. Whenever

I recognize a need to grow,

I unite with others who are also

seeking similar growth, or who are

ahead of me in the area. In light of

these principles, I make the following

suggestions to you:

Learn to clearly hear God’s voice

and see His visions. Then apply this

skill by praying ALL SEVEN prayers

that heal the heart, and do it with a

group of friends.

You do not need to live with your emotional pain. God wants to heal it! Let Him!

I recently spoke to a gathering of 200 students at New York University in New York City. Women with Muslim headcoverings were in the audience. As I started speaking, words of knowledge began to flow and

students stood up to testify that they were instantly healed. After my talk, I gave an altar call. I had invited three of my Jewish cousins to the event and had the thrill of seeing all three make professions of faith!

I am getting more and more testimonies of Jewish people finding their Messiah. Denise wrote, “I gave your book They Thought for Themselves to a 91-year-old Jewish lady, Frieda, and she accepted Yeshua (Jesus) as her Messiah.” The Jewish press is in an uproar over our Project 77 in which our goal is to mail They Thought for Themselves to two million Jewish people in North America. Never in the history of American Jews has someone witnessed so boldly to so many Jewish people and had Christians pray for them by name for salvation.

God has given me a fresh revelation of Romans 11:12: “Now if their fall is riches for the world [The blessings of Abraham are on the Jewish people. Even in their unbelief look at how many Jewish Nobel Prize winners there

have been and how so many other Jewish people have blessed the world.], and their failure riches for the Gentiles [Gentiles could now be saved], how much more their fullness!” Get ready for the “more”! I just received a letter that is a preview of what will happen when Orthodox rabbis get saved. A rabbi visited an Assembly of God church in Springfield, Missouri. He was there to gain information for his doctoral dissertation. He wasn’t sure that he believed Jesus was the Messiah, but he told the pastor, “I’ll pray the prayer and if faith rises up in me, I will believe.” After the prayer he sobbed for 30 minutes. Even though he knew nothing about tongues, he started praying in tongues. Then he started prophesying and quoting the New Testament word for word. When he was asked if he had ever read the New Testament, he replied, “I’m in rabbinical school…. We’re not allowed to read the New Testament. I never read this before. I feel like Jeremiah, a ‘fire shut up in my bones….’” When Jews receive their fullness as quoted in Romans 11:12, their fire will spread to the whole body of Messiah. How would you like this rabbi to influence your congregation? I have spoken many times on the One New Man (Jew and Gentile together in Messiah Jesus), but when I gave this message recently in Hagerstown, Maryland, the anointing was so high that there were multitudes of miracles. I want you to understand God’s heart on the importance of this end-time message. I also believe many of you will be healed as you view it on DVD. It is my love gift to you. Just let me know on the enclosed card if you would like a free copy of the One New Man: Hagerstown DVD.
