TRANSCRIPT
Although Steve believes in sowing and reaping, he explains why it doesn’t work for many people. His two-DVD set, God’s Provision in Hard Times, is jam packed with supernatural wisdom to capitalize on the great wealth transfer. “The wealth of the sinner is stored up for the
righteous” (Proverbs 13:22). I want you to prosper in tough economic times and partner with me in the great Jewish harvest, which will unite Jew and Gentile to form the One New Man to reach the entire world!
I had not held a Jewish evangelistic event in New York in over a decade. When Russian Jewish revival broke
out close to 20 years ago, I started a Russian Jewish congregation in Brooklyn, New York. Every week, Jewish people were coming to the Lord. Although the congregation exists today, the Jewish evangelism stopped. But yesterday morning marked the beginning of a new era in Jewish harvest. By faith, I rented the most popular theater in Brighton Beach, New York, an area that is home to 100, 000 Russian Jews in a ten-block radius. We passed out fl yers announcing a lecture on the supernatural. We also promised many who attended the lecture would be healed. I did not know if anyone would show up. We set up 350 seats and had over 400 people (mostly unsaved Russian Jews). After witnessing healing miracles, the majority of the people stood up to make professions of faith. The most dramatic miracle was a woman who was able to walk after at least fi ve months of being wheelchair-bound. We have entered the Jewish harvest! God has downloaded new strategies to capture this great Jewish harvest. But it will take large sums of money. I believe in the midst of recession, God will bless His people with an abundance of fi nances to pour into Jewish revival. Steve Foss is a prophet who has the most unique and balanced teaching on prospering in tough economic times I have ever studied. He believes there is a window of economic opportunity coming that will allow us to prepare for when the whole economy falls apart.

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.

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,

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

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!

to prepare this powerful message on
God’s Provision in Hard Times. He gave
Steve prophetic understanding of the
economy and of a unique window of
opportunity that is coming for God’s
people. In this dynamic two-DVD
set, Steve examines why many are not
experiencing supernatural provision
in their lives.
He exposes
the wrong
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
for a donation of $25
($30 Canadian).
