Number 0904, July 2009

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 fi rst” (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 fi rst.”

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 fi rst 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 “One New Man”

congregations in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) 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.

News from Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural! Television and Messianic Vision

The family with a Jewish heart. Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” ISAIAH 52:7

For He Himself is our peace, who has made both [Jews and Gentiles] one,

and has broken down the middle wall of division ...so as to create in Himself

one new man from the two.... EPHESIANS 2:14-15

J uri Popov, pastor of a local Russian

congregation, summed it up best. He said

there was a “change in the atmosphere”

just before our recent evangelistic meeting in

Brighton Beach, New York, home to 100,000

Russian Jews. Outreaches in the past had

been plagued by poor attendance and heavy

opposition, Juri said. This time was different.

Sid called it the “beginning of a new era

in Jewish harvest.” He noted that it had been

almost 20 years since he had seen this kind of fruit. In the early 1990’s Sid pioneered a

Russian-speaking congregation in Brighton Beach, which continues today.

When we fi rst arrived at the Millennium Theater in the heart of Brighton Beach,

we saw that no anti-missionaries had turned out to protest. This was defi nitely an

answer to prayer!

On the street corners near the theater, volunteers from Pastor Juri’s congregation

(Beth Shalom Center) distributed fl yers about the meeting to the multitudes of Russians

who passed by. The forecast for the day had

been for cold temperatures and possibly

rain. Instead, it was warm and partly sunny.

Vitaliy Fishberg, our local contact who

organized the event and the advertising,

took me across the street where I could see

an electronic billboard on top of the theater

featuring our video advertisement, in

rotation with others. We had also run ads on

Russian-speaking television and radio and

in the Russian newspaper inviting people to

a lecture on the supernatural and promising

that there would be miracles. How many

would come?

A half hour before the lecture started,

the theater put out extra chairs. Would we

even need them?

Not to worry! The theater was packed.

There were even people

standing in the back

of the auditorium and

along the sides. In all,

we had over 400 — a

tremendous turnout!

Vitaliy welcomed the

people and introduced

a short video showing

healing testimonies from

our television program, It’s Supernatural!

Since this event was advertised as a lecture,

we did not intend to include anything

religious so early in the meeting. However,

the name “Jesus” was mentioned two or

three times on the video. At that point, two

women got up to leave, but appeared to

change their mind after they heard there

were going to be healings.

The audience then welcomed Sid

with a warm ovation. Aided by a Russian

interpreter named Anna, Sid shared about

his encounters with the supernatural. As

a young man from an Orthodox Jewish

home, he quickly discovered that everything

he thought would make him happy —

marriage, a child, a great job — just didn’t

satisfy. So he decided that if he could make

$1 million by the time he was 30, he would

be happy.

When he reached age 29 and saw that

he wasn’t going to meet his goal, Sid left his

wife, daughter, and job and went searching

for fulfi llment in the New Age. At fi rst,

things seemed to go well. On one occasion,

Sid had the thought that he wanted to

start his own business. Shortly afterward,

a Christian businessman offered him free

offi ce space and use of a secretary.

But soon it became obvious that the

“spirit guide” inside of him was actually

a demon. Sid was no longer in control.

The same Christian

businessman who

provided the offi ce

space explained to

Sid that the New

Age practices he

was pursuing were

prohibited by his own

Jewish Scriptures.

Then Sid read a book

that showed many Jewish people who

embraced the dark side of the supernatural

ended up dead. He was terrifi ed.

On the worst night of his life, Sid cried

out — “Jesus help!” The next morning, he

discovered that he had been set free of the

demonic presence and fi lled with God’s

“liquid love.” God instructed Sid to return to

his wife and daughter. He gratefully obeyed.

His life had been transformed.

As it became clear to the Russian

Jewish audience that Jesus was the central

theme of the event, a few left. But others

came forward to take their seats.

During the lecture, Sid asked for those

with pain in their body to stand. A large

number did so. Then he spoke forth a word

of knowledge that many were being healed.

When Sid asked for those who had pain

leave their body to raise their hand, about

25-30 indicated they had received an

instant miracle.

Sid invited a few of those who had

been healed to come forward to testify,

but only two were willing. Perhaps most

were shy about standing in front of such a

large crowd.

Then, the atmosphere turned electric.

An older woman who had been sitting in

her wheelchair started walking toward Sid

from the right side of the auditorium. Her

caregiver excitedly shared that this woman

had not been able to walk for at least fi ve

months. The audience responded with a

hearty applause. After this miracle, there

was a tangible increase in the faith level of

the Russian Jews.

Several times, Sid proclaimed that the

“river of God” was present in the meeting

and healings were taking place. In child-like

faith, members of the audience would “jump

into the river” as they hopped in place.

Sid then declared that the God of Israel

was performing the healings in Jesus’

name. When he asked for all those who

wanted to know God to stand, most of the

people did so. We learned later that about

265 also fi lled out information cards to

We are expecting many divine appointments (“mo’eds”). I want you to experience the land, the sites, the sounds and the people of the most unique land on earth. You will be changed forever. We will see sites where God’s history was made and where prophecy is about to be fulfi lled. I know the Bible will come alive at a level you have never experienced before. Space is limited, so please send in your deposit as soon as possible. You can view the tour brochure and register online at www.SidRoth.org/Israel or call 1-800-959-1062 to request a brochure.

people did so. We learned later that about

265 also fi lled out information cards to

receive a free copy of Sid’s evangelistic book,

They Thought for Themselves, in Russian. The

local congregations will be following up on

the names.

Pastor Alana, who leads the

congregation Sid started in that area

years ago, said: “In all of my time of

ministry in Brooklyn, I have never seen

so many people stand up to receive

the ‘prayer of salvation’ led by Sid.

After this outreach, I feel even more

determined to reach the Russian Jews

in Brooklyn.”

Sid reports that he has never

heard of such a large number of

Jewish people being saved in one meeting

in the United States.

It’s Supernatural! board member,

Warren Marcus, was on hand to videotape

the event. Days later, he wrote: “I am still

overwhelmed by what happened…. Tears

fi lled my eyes when the people stood to

accept Jesus. I wished my own Russian

grandparents could have been alive to

experience this. As I traveled back home, I

found myself weeping with joy. It continued

the next day. Even now as I share this I am

overcome with emotion.”

Truly, in Brighton Beach, “Little Russia

by the Sea,” there has been a change in the

atmosphere. Thank you for praying and

giving. You are part of the great victory!

attitudes many

believers have

toward money

and shares

insights into

how we can align

ourselves with

Scripture so the

abundance of God

can fl ow. This hard-hitting prophetic

message is a must for all Christians who

desire to live a debt-free, fi nancially

overcoming life! Available
