Sid: This is Sid Roth and I’m talking to Julie Meyer and Julie you say that you have breakthroughs 100% of the time when you sing scripture. And for those that perhaps didn’t hear the first part of the interview you’re a soccer mom you’re a busy woman. You had 3 small sons and that’s enough to do it to anyone 2 of them twins. And tell me about the breakthrough you get I want to hear about this 100% of the time when you sing the words of God.
Julie: Actually I mean for me it’s 100% breakthrough 100% of the time. When I because of growing up with an alcoholic mother and she gave her life to the Lord right before she went to be with Jesus which was amazing because I got to pray with her and I love that. But I had a lot of things that I had to work through personally. A big one is that I hated myself, I hated myself, I hated how I sang and I spent a lot of years in counseling which I don’t mind. Even when I was in high school because I was already getting ulcers just because of my family life. And what happened is that the counselors helped me understand why I thought the way I thought but I didn’t have a breakthrough and I say a breakthrough on the heart level meaning I couldn’t feel His love for me. And when I began to sing the word suddenly it was like everything that I thought about me it was like replaced with God’s thoughts about me. And I feel like it was such a miracle because I simply took the word, I would take Psalms, I would sing it word for word, I would turn it into a prayer but then I would prophesy it over me.
Sid: Would you …you know what would you just sing it impromptu right now a scripture over those that are listening?
Julie: Absolutely! One of my favorites is Psalms 116 verses 1 and 2. “I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my cry because He bends down and listens I will pray as long as I breathe.” And I’m going to sing it as if God were singing it to the listeners because this is how I had breakthrough in my own life. (Julie worshiping with scripture) 0:24:36.0 – 0.25:57.5
Sid: Wow I hate to continue the interview I just want to sit back and soak in that but one of the things that happens is you have visions and dreams and you were telling me that you literally feel that you’re in them, explain that.
Julie: Absolutely! I remember them like it’s what I did yesterday and what I love about it is I’m just a Mom and I don’t mean to say just but I’m not a theologian, I’m not a Doctor, I love the PhD’s I love the Bible I love learning Bible but I feel like simple person that just loves Him. And when He opened the door and suddenly I just began having these dreams and encounters and I could smell, I mean could see, I could touch, I could feel.
Sid: But these dreams they’re transforming, they’re prophetic, I mean you heard you saw things in your dreams that have come to pass. You developed a burden for the Jewish people that you didn’t have before until you walked through that dream.
Julie: I had a dream where I…Jesus He was…He came to me very nice and He said “I want you to meet my friends. And He took me and we were kind of like flying, I mean and I really was flying it was like I was a bird. And in my mind I’m thinking, “Oh, I want to meet Isaiah, I want to meet Ezekiel.” I’m thinking you know the Lord’s friends and suddenly He looks towards the earth and we start literally just flying straight to the ground and I know we are going to hit the ground. Not…we didn’t just hit the ground we went through the ground as if we were a rocket! And when we came up through the other side I felt in this dream. Because it was as if my body really did this and we came up and I was in what I knew to be Jerusalem but my body was torn, my flesh was torn and I was in pain. It was like my body really went through the earth. And in the dream He got right up in my face and He said “Until your heart is torn in two like your flesh you do not know My friends; these are My friends I want you to experience the burden that I carry.” And in this dream I’m walking with Him like down these paths and I know that I’m in Jerusalem but He is and it’s as if I can feel His broken heart because the people it was the Jewish people they didn’t care that He was there. But this was the exciting part; the exciting part is that He began to just look at them and He would nod and I would see this suddenly, it’s Psalms 102 “Appear in Your glory.” It’s as if suddenly He was appearing to different ones of the Jewish people and I saw their face that suddenly they knew He was Yeshua. And the neat thing is that I saw Him appear to top Rabbis and these top Rabbis and after He would appear to them they knew that He was Yeshua Hamashiach. And these top Rabbis they would go up into the high part of their house. They had like this upper room in my dream and they were saying “This changes everything, this changes everything! Because these are the Rabbis that study the Torah, they memorize the Torah, they have it memorized in 5 different languages but suddenly He added Rhema to the Torah and they understood He was Yeshua. And it was as if in this dream I saw that He was breathing on this tiny flame of knowledge in their hearts and there was a day, there was an hour coming when these Rabbis and they were top Rabbis in Jerusalem that they would run up to the top of this mount and yell “Yeshua is Messiah, Yeshua is the Messiah!” And in the dream I’m watching this and because I was there I saw it with my eyes I felt it in my body. I know it, because it is as I lived it yesterday and it’s already happened.
Sid: And it’s happening right now! Most of those listening to us right now don’t know that Dr. Michael Brown and I partnered in doing an evangelistic webpage for Orthodox Jewish people. I believe that this is…I mean God has us doing so many things to reach Israel right now. And I’m going to tell you something else when you get a hold of Julie Meyers book “Dreams and Supernatural Encounters” I believe that you’re going …Julie what happened to your heart in reference to the Jew in Israel after walking into this experience?
Julie: You know what is so exciting because at the House of Prayer we have 3 or 4 different prayer meetings where it’s devoted to pray for Israel, to pray for the Jewish people and I used to go to those meetings and not even get it. I just, I didn’t get it but when I had this dream I still…even though I didn’t have the passion that I knew other people had for Israel I still asked Him for it. “God give me Your heart, what are Your thoughts toward Israel, what do you think about when You look at your beautiful people?” But when I had this dream I woke up with number 1 a heaven burden to pray because He wanted me to carry the weight of the burden of prayer. I think that’s why we have dreams so that we can birth His purposes in the earth through intercession. But when I woke up I mean I loved them, I mean I loved the Jewish people like I love my family. And the neat thing is that when people have read this dream there’s like…it’s like the Spirit of the Lord is in the pages of the book and as people are reading it. My testimony has been that when they’re done and they turn the page to the next dream that they have this passion for Israel and the Jewish people that they didn’t have when they started reading it.
Sid: But you know it’s not just for the Jewish people I believe that your dreams capture the heart of God for this moment in history that we’re living in. And the feedback that I’m getting from our staff that are reading that book is their lives are being transformed. …This is God’s moment for Israel but I see Israel as the catalyst to reach the Gentiles. When Jesus came the first time He used the Jew to reach the Gentile; when He returns I believe He’s going to once more use the Jew to be modern day Paul the Apostles to take the word of God throughout the whole earth. I do not believe it’s an accident that Israel is one of the computer capitols of the world and I believe these young Israeli’s are going to get saved and evangelize the world. When we come back I got so much to talk to Julie about but one of my favorite songs on these new CD’s I’m going to play for you.
