Our Guest Jim Richards
SID: Sid Roth here with Jim Richards. And this is amazing. Jim, repeat what you just said to me that science has just found out.
JIM: Science has now discovered that every time your heart beats it sends an encoded signal to every cell in your body that basically updates that cell to what you believe about yourself right now. Every cell is reprogrammed every time your heart beats.
SID: And isn’t this what Jesus taught us?
JIM: That’s exactly what Jesus taught us, and that’s the amazing thing is, all the way back to the Book of Proverbs, for thousands of years God has given us what science didn’t know. I can remember even 20 years ago I would have heart doctors make fun of me when I would say this. Now those very heart doctors are getting trained to understand in cellular biology how all this stuff works.
SID: When you find an emotion that someone is dealing with, as you’re counseling them, you know how it’s affecting their body. Give me an example.
JIM: For example, we know from a biblical and medical point of view that fear, if a person is having abiding fear it’s about their kidneys. They got trouble in their kidneys. If a person is having abiding anger it’s going to be their liver. If a person is having abiding grief and sorrow it’s going to be the respiratory system. If a person is having fright, panic attacks it’s going to be their heart.
SID: Give me an example of you. Give me an example of an emotion you had and how it affected a specific part of your body.
JIM: You know, I was born with a congenital kidney disease. And in communion with the Lord one time, I was just praying, Lord, how did this happen? Where did this start? And I immediately heard my father’s voice, and I thought I was having a vision. And I realized I was hearing my father’s voice when I was in the womb and he was threatening my mother. And I heard my mother’s very thoughts and she said, “As soon as I have this baby he’ll start beating me again.” And see, the fear that my mother felt literally became imprinted in my kidneys, and that’s why I was born with a congenital kidney disease. I don’t blame my mother. That’s not there. But I also realize if I put off that fear and remove that from my being, then my kidneys had the opportunity to start healing themselves the way God created them to heal themselves.
SID: Okay. The rubber meets the road, so to speak. I’m going to tell you something, an emotion or a feeling that I’m dealing with. My father was a perfectionist and to a degree I want everything to be right. Now I know better. I can’t show this. So what do I do, is I internalize it, and that’s the worse thing that can happen.
JIM: Yes it is.
SID: So I’m driving and someone cuts me off. And I immediately, there’s an upset within me. Now I don’t want that upset. How do I get rid of it?
JIM: You know, I would start with the feeling that I have at that moment, that upset. I would give it a name, whether it’s anger, whether it’s frustration, or whatever you would call it at that moment. But whatever it is you’re going to call it by a name just so you can identify it. And you’re going to go through a process of sending it away or putting it off and putting it on something else. It would be real simple. What would you call that feeling when you have it?
SID: Well I’ll tell you what I call it. I call it pride. Me first.
JIM: Okay. If that’s what you call it then it would be real simple. You would start from the place of, pride, you are not from God. Just say that with me. Pride, you are not from God.
SID: Pride, you are not from God.
JIM: I don’t want you.
SID: I don’t want you.
JIM: You have no place in my place life.
SID: You have no place in my life.
JIM: And then that’s where turn our heart. Father, search my heart.
SID: Father, search my heart.
JIM: Search through every aspect of my being.
SID: Search through every aspect of my being.
JIM: Through every cell of my body.
SID: Through every cell of my body.
JIM: To the very root and core of this pride.
JIM: And by your grace.
SID: And by your grace.
JIM: I expect the courage.
SID: I expect the courage.
JIM: To forgive myself.
SID: To forgive myself.
JIM: To forgive others.
SID: To forgive others.
JIM: To forgive every circumstance.
SID: To forgive every circumstance.
JIM: That has contributed to this problem.
SID: That has contributed to this problem.
JIM: Now pride.
SID: Now pride.
JIM: I send you away.
SID: I send you away.
JIM: I forgive myself.
SID: I forgive myself.
JIM: In the name of Jesus.
SID: In the name of Jesus.
JIM: And I choose.
SID: And I choose.
JIM: Now this is where, what would you want to put, what would you rather feel when this happens?
SID: Love.
JIM: Alright.
SID: Love for the person that just cut me off in traffic.
JIM: Then we pray this way. I choose to feel love.
SID: I choose to feel love.
JIM: I am in Christ.
SID: I am in Christ.
JIM: I am loved.
SID: I am loved.
JIM: I am accepted.
SID: I am accepted.
JIM: The love of God abounds in my heart.
SID: The love of God abounds in my heart.
JIM: I choose to feel love.
SID: I choose to feel love.
JIM: I choose to speak love.
SID: I choose to speak love.
JIM: And by the grace of God.
SID: By the grace of God.
JIM: I trust.
SID: I trust.
JIM: The love of God.
SID: The love of God.
JIM: To manifest in my life.
SID: To manifest in my life.
JIM: It’s literally that simple.
SID: And I just heard something, I might add. But here’s the important thing for you. What emotions are you dealing with? I have some good news for you. I prayed that prayer when I first sat under Jim’s teaching, and those feelings did not go away. But yesterday, and Jim knows this, I was involved in a three-car accident. And I got out, and it wasn’t my fault. I was stopped at a red light. I had nothing to do with it. One car hit the car behind me and the car behind me hit me. And the driver was a Jewish man from New York, a non-believer in the Messiah. And guess what? He said to me, “How can you be so peaceful after I just crashed into your new car?” And I said, “I’m glad you asked me.” And I was able to tell me why I was so peaceful. And he wanted a copy of my book, and he wanted to know more about the Messiah. And this is all going on because I didn’t react the way I used to. So thank you for that prayer.
JIM: Thank the Lord that it works.
SID: It does. You know what? I’m convinced that as these emotions come up in you and you start dealing with them and putting off, as Jim taught, and putting on you’re going to be freer and freer, and the words of God, the promises, they’re all going to come to pass in your life. That’s exciting. That’s something to be very excited about. I can’t wait for you to get free and be normal.
