Our Guest Eric Carlson
Sid: I’ve been explaining all of this week about the One New Man and how we just got back from Siberia and we saw multitudes of Jews and Gentiles come to the Lord. But more important than that when we went to reach the Jew first the whole city opened up we could evangelize more Gentiles. I mean logic says “Go to the Gentile first.” But God says in Romans 1:16 says “Go to the Jew first.” And that was not just the historical order although it was the historical order Jesus went to the Jew first; God went to the Jew first. Abraham. Jesus said “I go only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Paul said “I go to the Jew first.” You see this was God’s spiritual order to reach the world. If the church would only get wind of this one little nugget and this and so much more about the new wine skin that’s coming the new move of God’s Spirit is available in my latest book that’s called “The Race to Save the World.” …we are going through 10 days of prayer and fasting because it’s the Biblical festival of Rosh Hashanah, Feast of Trumpets, and tonight begins Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement. Which Jewish people throughout the world are praying and fasting, and the fast begins tonight for our sins to be forgiven and our name to be in the book of life. What a time to be in agreement of prayer that Jewish people in the synagogue have visions of Jesus and they’re a part of this great prophecy in Amos that’s says “When the house, or tabernacle, or family,” it’s all the same in Hebrew, “of David is restored.” When the Jewish people are restored to God it will trigger the greatest Gentile revival in history. Eric, this is Rabbi Eric Carlson associate with Messianic Vision as well as, the rabbi of One New Man congregation. Eric would you teach a little bit about Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur?
Eric: Oh I’d love to because these are such fantastic times. Rosh Hashanah is the New Year and sometimes people get confused because the Bible says that in the month of Nisan at Passover that’s the New Year, and we are also a New Year in the month of September, or the 7th month, which we know as Rosh Hashanah. There’s actually 2 and the spiritual beginning is during Passover, and this during Rosh Hashanah is the calendar, or the agricultural New Year. At Rosh Hashanah begins the new planting season and the new agricultural season for Israel. This is interesting because in the scriptures for Rosh Hashanah, for the New Year, it’s in Leviticus 23:23. And it t says “It’s a day of commemoration and it’s a day of sounding the shofar; it’s called Yom Turuah; Yom is Hebrew for day, and Turuah means a great blast or shout. But it’s interesting because the scriptures never say what this commemoration of the sounding of the shofar is about. And the shofar is relation to calling to God. Psalms 47 says “God’s glory descends on the sounding of the shofar.” And when we sound the shofar many believe that it’s getting God’s attention; that we’re seeking Him and He turns and looks when we sound the shofar. Those of us who are grafted in, those of us who have the blood of Yeshua wash away known no more this is really fantastic because we know what this celebration was about. And what this commemoration is because in Matthew 24 Yeshua talks about that when He returns He will come with the angels before Him with a great sounding or a blasting of a shofar. So we know what this commemoration is about; we’re rehearsing for the return of the Messiah. What a glorious thing to celebrate, I mean this is what we’re all looking for is the return of the return of the Mashiach the return of the Christ. So when we celebrate this we sound the shofar and we look forward to that great angelic cloud in the heavens announcing the arrival of Yeshua when He returns with that great sounding of the shofar. And also the old rabbis teach that at the sounding of the shofar because it when the devil, when ha-saton, the devil, when he rears the first blast of the shofar he thinks it’s just us crazy Jews blowing the shofar because the Lord commanded us to do it in the Bible. But the second time he doesn’t know if it’s us or the Messiah returning so he flees at the sounding of the shofar. So God’s glory comes at the sounding of the shofar, Yeshua return at the sounding of the shofar and the enemy flees at the sounding of the shofar. So what a great time to celebrate and sound the shofar and to come together as the One New Man and rehearse for the return of the coming of the Messiah.
Sid: You Know Eric I’m having a thought as you’re sharing right now and my thought is you have such a powerful anointing as you blow the rams horn, the shofar. I would like you to blow that shofar now and when you blow that shofar I believe that the devil will flee, sickness will flee, depression will flee, and there’ll be freedom. Because Messiah came to set the captives free and then I’m going to pray for people to receive the Siberian anointing which I feel just moving on me right now. So Eric if you would blow that shofar
Eric: (Sound of shofar)
Sid: In Yeshua’s Name I command all evil sickness to be bound and to leave; I command healing, I command healing in the back, in the spin, in the neck and in the head, every area of your body all pains go! I command healing in the heart; healing, cancer you’re evil and in the Name of Yeshua I command you to leave. Diabetes I bind you evil diabetes and I command you out in Yeshua’s name. Arthritis you’re a thing of the past, you evil arthritis you leave, insomnia you leave God’s people you have no place. I thank You Father God for the authority that has been given in Your Name in the Name that every knee must bow, every tongue must confess. And I say to you that everything that is not of God I bind every sickness, every spirit of depression, every spirit of insanity I bind you in Yeshua’s Name and I command you off of God’s people now. Next I command you to be healed in Yeshua’s Name. Now Father God pour Your Spirit pour the Siberian anointing on Your people. Father we are so hungry for You, we are so thirsty for You now, now in Yeshua’s Name. Thank You oh God, Thank You Lord. Eric there’s such a flow of God’s Spirit it’s like the river that Ezekiel saw. Ezekiel said that wherever that river went there was healing and the river of healing is flowing to God’s people right now. Tonight begins Yom Kippur Day of Atonement. What does that mean to you as a One New Man Messianic Jew Eric?
Eric: Well, again this a time of great celebration. In the Orthodox Jewish Community, Yom Kippur is a time, a very solemn time, a time of prayer and actually a time of concern. “Is my name written in the Book of Life, will I make it into heaven? But the scriptures tell us that we have a Kippur which means purge in Hebrew, our sins have been purged! We have had the ultimate sacrifice, we have had the blood of Yeshua wash away our sins to be known no more. And if you said that prayer and if you have received Yeshua as your Lord and Savior this is a time for exultation and joy!
Sid: You know Eric as you’re sharing the way you see this biblical festival, so many people copy rabbinic Judaism and even in the Messianic Jewish congregations they copy so much rabbinic Judaism it’s about time to have freedom. And that’s what God is saying, I’ve come to set the captive free and these biblical festivals are times that God promises to be in attendance! That God shows you they are rehearsals of the future of what God’s going to do in the future. Rehearsals of the great acts of that God has done in the past. How in the world will we ever provoke a Jewish person to jealousy by using Greco-Roman festivals with good spiritual meanings when you could use the exact shadows that God said to have forever? Again it has nothing to do with righteousness, it has nothing to do with salvation, it’s got to do with the blessings of God and the coming together of this Jew and Gentile for this great One New Man anointing. Mishpochah Charisma has just published my latest book it’s called “The Race to Save the World.” And in this book you’ll find out how the Rabbis’ have lead the Jewish people astray and how this happened. Now many today may love God but they are deceived, and then in the church itself you’ll see how church fathers in their anti-Semitic stance have literally moved the Gentile church astray. Now the truth is there is enough truth in the Gentile church there is enough truth in Messianic Judaism that God will use these two vehicles as it is between today and the time that Messiah returns. But haven’t you sensed in your heart of hearts that there must be something more. That’s why I’ve written this book the coming together of Jews and Christians to form the One New Man.
