SID: Hello, Sid Roth here with Rabbi Jonathan Bernis. Jonathan, tell me more about the supernatural quality of the Hebrew language.
JONATHAN: Well Sid, I so value the gift of supernatural languages. This has been so helpful for me for almost 30 years, because when I pray in these supernatural languages I’m bypassing my mind, which tends to be an enmity with the things of God, in unbelief in other words. And by praying in these supernatural languages I’m getting this, heavenly languages, right into my spirit. Well I think Hebrew may operate very much the same way. You’re confessing the Word of God in English. It’s important. It’s valuable. But you’re also straining it through your mind. But when you go into the Hebrew, when you move into the Hebrew language, and again, I believe that there are certain harmonic releases in the Hebrew that are creative, just as God created the universe. And I believe He spoke Hebrew personally. I can’t prove that, but I believe that. But when you’re confessing the Word of God in Hebrew, I believe it’s bypassing the mind. And just like other heavenly languages that we don’t understand, it’s going right into the Spirit. And guess what happens when the Word gets into our spirits? It builds faith.
SID: As a matter of fact, teach just a little bit about the two types of faith.
JONATHAN: This is very, very important, so please listen closely. Romans, Chapter 10, Verse 19: “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” This is absolutely critical because without faith it’s impossible to please God. If you want to be a God pleaser you have to have faith. How do you get faith? By hearing the Word of God. But there’s two hearings. Faith cometh by hearing, hearing number one, and hearing by the Word of God, second hearing. I believe the first hearing is the hearing with our ears. We confess the Word with the mouth. We confess, we confess, we confess. We’re hearing it, we’re hearing it and hearing it, and finally it drops that long 19 inches into our spirit. We finally hear it with the ear of our spirit, and when that happens, guess what? It releases the creative power of God with the heart we believe, not with the mind, but with the heart. The Word gets into our heart and then confession is made unto. It’s true of salvation, but it’s also true of healing. It’s true of deliverance. It’s true of Divine provision. We got to get it into our heart where faith dwells, and then we speak it forth in faith and it becomes a reality.
SID: So what you’re saying is, confession doesn’t heal you. Confession gets the promise into your spirit, and when it gets into your spirit then it manifests.
JONATHAN: Yes, I’m saying both. Confession builds faith, and then finally it’s the confession of faith when it finally is heard by your spirit that also brings the healing or the deliverance of the miracle. We confess it forth when it gets into our hearts. So it’s both. We confess, so we build faith, and then when it’s in our spirit we confess it from our spirit that the spirit to mouth connection, and I speak life, and it becomes reality.
SID: Now how has this made a difference in, say, praying for the sick?
JONATHAN: Oh my goodness, Sid, it’s day and night, literally. I was frustrated with the lack of power and results when I prayed for people for healing, when I prayed for people to receive the influence of the Holy Spirit. And I got a hold of this promise and applied it. And so what I do now is before I lay hands on people, say, to be filled with the Spirit, I say, I want you to begin to confess now out loud: “When hands are laid on me I will be filled. When hands are laid on me I will be filled. When Jonathan lays hands on me I will receive.” And I get them confessing it, and I look around to see who’s really speaking it forth and they’re the people I go to first. And Sid, I’ve gone from about 20% receiving to about 95%. When they’re confessing it forth and they’re entering into this faith realm, the minute I lay hands on them, they begin to speak with other tongues. It is phenomenal.
SID: Well, I see why you’re so excited about confessing God’s Word.
JONATHAN: I am
SID: And then that extra dimension of the Hebrew, it’s off the chart.
JONATHAN: And it works. That’s the thing. This is the Word of God.
SID: I believe that there’s going to be such a release of favor over believers as they speak the promises of God, especially as they speak them with their English and with the Hebrew language. I believe that we could do the same thing that you do in a meeting right now.
JONATHAN: We can.
SID: I believe that people could be physically healed of any kind of condition because of the faith that has been charged within you by meditating on God’s Word in the Hebrew and in the English. I want you to do with these people what has made the difference in your healing ministry. Ask them to confess that with you.
JONATHAN: I would love to. And I really want to encourage you. There’s people watching that desperately need healing. There’s people watching today that desperately need Divine provision. You may be about to lose your home and that’s a Word from the Lord. Some of you watching are about to lose your home. I’m speaking to somebody specifically. There’s others that need deliverance or restoration of family. You need to get the Word of God into your heart. You need to find the scriptures that promise the solution. You need to confess them out loud. You need to use the transliteration tools that are out there and begin to speak in Hebrew, and God will change your life. I know it for a fact because that’s what the Word teaches. But I want you to say right out loud, I don’t care where you are, just right now say out loud: “When healing is spoken over the television right now by Jonathan, I will receive.” Just say that right now. “I will receive.”
SID: When healing is spoken over the television right now by Jonathan, I will receive.
JONATHAN: I will receive. You can’t just think it. You have to say it. Say it forth. Hear it. I believe right now that I shall be healed, that I shall be healed. Say it one more time.
SID: I believe right now I shall be healed.
JONATHAN: Receive it right now. And speak it right now. I speak healing right to you, right now in the name of Yeshua, in Jesus’ name. According to your faith be it unto you. Receive your healing right now in Jesus’ name. Receive it.
SID: Amen. Jonathan, very quickly, the names of God in Hebrew are off the chart. Tell me something about the names of God in Hebrew.
JONATHAN: Well all the names of God reveal the character and the nature of God. This is who God is. So what we have to do is to get a hold of the reality of who God is. He is Adonai Raphe or Rapheca, the Lord our healer. He is Jehovah Shalom, the God who is our peace. And as we confess this over and over again and the scriptures that relate to that, that declare that, Sid, it eventually becomes a reality in our life. So instead of confessing, I am sick or I am this or that, confess who God is and what He’s promised for us. When you back and do it in Hebrew it’s even more powerful and it will become a reality in your life.
SID ROTH: You can see that we are two Jewish men that are so red hot for Jesus, and we want that middle wall of separation to come down. We want gentile Christians to be red hot for Jesus, too. Start confessing the promises of God. Start understanding this wonderful method of transliteration. You too can be able to speak the Hebrew language. But you know what’s even more important than all of this, and the Glory of God is in this studio right now, is you making Jesus your Messiah and Lord. You say, “I don’t know how.” Get real. Get real with God. Tell God you’re sorry for all the things you’ve done wrong. What have you done wrong? Well you’ve lied, you’ve stolen, you’ve been involved in sex outside of marriage, been involved in pornography. You’ve been involved in homosexuality. You’ve been involved in doing things you know are wrong. Tell God you’re sorry. Believe the blood of Yeshua washes away your sins. The blood of Jesus washes it away. And now that you’re clean, ask Jesus to live inside of you and be your Lord. Don’t wait another second. Do it right now. Right now.
