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

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

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.

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.
