Sandra Polischeck, Perry Hall, MD.
Hello Ed!!

I just wanted to let you know that I have been experiencing incredible inner healing
over the last three weeks through the guidance and love of Jesus and your book has
been so wonderful in helping me find my way to Him on this journey.  I can't thank
you enough for your encouragement through your book and your e-mails and using
the Bible as the foundation for all of your counseling.

I have successfully weaned off of all the anti-depressant and anxiety medications in
only three weeks after taking them for over three years and it has been the most
freeing and rewarding experience!!

I still have moments that are not easy and I listen to these emotions and pray often
throughout the day.  I also have many more moments of peace and joy and I am
forever thankful for the happiness that I have found in my heart.  It is truly a miracle of
God to allow us to enjoy a close and personal relationship with Jesus and to open our
hearts to reveal the wonderful "treasure inside" all of us.

I have continued going to my new Christian church here in Perry Hall and my husband
and I have started counseling with our Pastor and his wife.  It has been very helpful to
me and I have already made a lot of new friends and we pray and share our love of
the Lord.

I am so thankful that God led me to your book and started me on this life long journey
with Him.  May He bless you and your family!!

I would like to share with you that after reading your online book I ordered it. That
same day, after ordering your book and starting to put into practice some of what I
had read, during the evening hours I had a healing touch of the Lord. The touch was
so absolute I know it was Jesus who did this. I cannot explain this, but what I prayed
to be healed of was totally different than what I received and I instantly knew the
Lord had put the first things first. Actually, I did not even know that I needed to
healed of what I was healed of. Sounds a bit confusing but I know what is written on
my heart and I know WHO wrote it. I am a beloved child of God.

The second witness is that I began to share some of the basic principles of your book
with my mother and my sisters. I then loaned the book to them to read for themselves
what I was sharing.  To say that it has touched them would be a understatement. My
Mother, who had extreme bitterness and unforgiveness was healed. Praise God! My
younger sister who was without hope and depressed is now regularly attending church
after about an absence of five(?) years. We all still have a lot of weeding to do, but I
feel that we are on the right road. We do a lot of turning and repenting every day. It
seems that there have been a lot  of blessings lately.
This may sound strange, but there has also been a lot of spiritual warfare going on.

So in closing, I  know that your book, which is a great gift from Almighty God
himself, needs to be shared .There are so many spiritually sick and undernourished
souls in this world who are really hungry for the Lord. I do not know what my part in
this may be , if any, but I will keep praying for the success of your ministry. God Bless
you.

I want to say again how much your introduction to a new way of thinking/living has
changed my life and my whole family's lives.

W.R. Idaho
Since I came to see you, my life has changed drastically.  I feel like I was blind before
that time and that God has opened up my eyes and now I can see.  I lived the first 20
years of my walk with the Lord blaming everyone else for my unhappiness . . .
Anyway, things are good here with the Rosenthals.  Ron and I are able to work
through things now and he continues to amaze me with his new ability to forgive and
reconcile.  WOW!

I appreciate Ed's sensitivity in allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal things to people in His
way and His time.  Through Ed's ministry, my life, my family, and our ministry was
unjammed.  We praise God for him.  Inner healing was the most profound
experience, outside of salvation, that either one of us have ever experienced.

M. R., Missionary and teacher, Mount Gravatt, Australia.
I asked, 'Why, Lord?'  An answer came to my heart.  'When you feel rejected by
others, you reject yourself.  When you fail to accept and love yourself, in no time bad
fruit begins to take over'. . . I quickly reread the relevant chapters of the book again.  
It all made such sense.  For how many years had I been turning the slightest sense of
rejection into rejection of myself?

B. O. Dublin, Ireland
Having struggled with depression, phobia, and shame, I am now experiencing lasting
hope, freedom and peace in my heart.  Through listening prayer I have experienced
His forgiveness again and again.

C.C., Moscow, Idaho
I had been living my life actually believing when something bad happened or when I
sinned God disappeared and I was on my own . . . Oh Brother Ed, I'm so glad He
was there!  He never leaves His children, and beauty of all, He was there before I
knew He was.  He showed me He was there in my first known dark hour . . . I
wanted you to rejoice with me and know how God has used you and your book.


The following is an example of walking out one's healing by
immediately pulling out new bitter roots as they occur:

M.L., Turku, Finland

Mikko had a major tendency to judge himself.  He had a great fear, the fear of "I'm,
not OK" (the Big Hurt).  He was afraid of his customers criticizing him, and it was
very hard for him to admit he doesn't know something, because that would trigger his
self-rejection.

In our counseling appointments he prayed about the root of this self-rejection.  Then
one evening he went to his saxophone lesson.  He had forgotten that he had placed a
spare reed inside the saxophone.  When he began to play for his teacher, the
instrument made a very strange sound.  His teacher called his attention to it, and
Mikko got red in the face and felt ashamed.  At that instant he realized he had just
judged himself.  He immediately prayed about this new bitter root, and the
embarrassment left completely. When he came to his counseling appointment the next
day he said, "Ed, it is so easy!"

He said that in the past he would have wrestled with the feeling of inadequacy for
days.  It was "easy" because he had let Jesus bear his sin of judgment.

The next two testimonies involved "Inner Child Prayer," as
outlined in Chapter 15 of the book.

M.M., California
For many years Matthew had lived a homosexual lifestyle, and he almost died of
AIDS.  In the process of redeeming his life, the Lord had miraculously healed him of
HIV infection, which is a physical impossibility.  Though the Lord had delivered him
from the bondage to homosexuality prior to our counseling time, there were still basic
self-esteem issues with which he struggled.

As we prayed and waited for the Lord to come, Matthew saw a strange scene. He
saw Father God standing with something in the palm of His hand. At first he couldn't
identify what it was, but all of a sudden, he saw it!  He realized that it was himself that
God was forming. God showed him that He created him, and He created him to be a
man.

Then he saw another scene.  It was the moment of his conception, and his earthly
father said, "This had better be a girl!"  From this vision, Matthew knew that in his
spirit he had been aware when his dad uttered that statement.  This meant that from
the very beginning of his existence, he was convinced that he should be a girl!  So his
problem with his masculinity had always been with him.

At the moment that he saw God forming him in the vision, he knew God had made
him to be a man, and God was happy that he was a man.  There was an enormous
and powerful healing that happened inside of him; because now he knew, to the
depths of his being, that he was the right sex.  Through this encounter with the living
God, his identity was healed.


    Matthew later wrote, "Your ability to ask questions, listen, and most
    importantly, hear from the Holy Spirit and be guided by the Lord Jesus Christ
    during each counseling session makes your ministry unique and needed in these
    last days.  I came to you for direction and my life changed drastically.  Your
    ability to focus me on my inner-self, a part of me that I did not know existed,
    brought a new dimension of healing in my life that I never knew possible!"



R.N., Wasilla, Alaska
Rolf had almost died in childbirth, and had a very difficult childhood.  From his
parents he received ridicule rather than support and The Blessing.  He was bullied, by
other children, but his parents didn't protect him
.
Rolf had been a Christian for many years, and had been a very devoted believer.  Yet
he had suffered from bouts of depression for years, and had received many hours of
counseling from a variety of practitioners.  He had tried many psychotropic drugs, but
he was either allergic to them, or they didn't help.  And yet, after all these attempts at
healing, he was still suffering desperately.

As Rolf and I listened to the Lord, Rolf saw a rickety bridge over a gorge.  The gorge
wasn't very wide, but it was very deep and dark inside.  The Lord was standing on
the other side of the gorge, beckoning for him to come across the bridge, and to not
look back.

Rolf hesitated, because he was afraid.  The bridge looked so fragile that he was afraid
it would break if he stepped onto it.  Finally, he decided to trust the Lord and to step
out.  As he walked across the bridge it broke, and he fell into the dark gorge
.
As he lay in the darkness at the bottom of the pit, he felt so alone.  "Nobody is here
for me.  I am always abandoned.  In my time of greatest need, I will be alone."

Then he cried out to Jesus, "Where were you all these years?"  All Rolf saw was a big
black hole!

In that moment he realized he had a huge rage in him towards God.

"I am screaming at God", Rolf exclaimed, with amazement and some fear
.
Then he said with astonishment, "He says He loves me!"

Rolf asked God to forgive him for judging Him.

He realized that he had always tried to be his own God, because he didn't trust God
to be his protector.

I (Ed) sensed a darkness present.  So I commanded it to leave, in the name of Jesus,
and it left.  It had been inhabiting this terrible, deep root of bitterness that Rolf had
towards God.  But now it had to go, because God had redeemed that place of
bitterness in Rolf.

The demonic presence no longer had a legal right to be in that place.

Then Rolf said, "Ed, I have never seen this before.  For an instant I was in touch with
the severity of God.  You don't want to mess with this dude!"

Rolf was feeling afraid, and in awe.  He said, "Lord, I want You to be my God."

The Lord gave me (Ed) the right question to ask.  I asked Rolf, "Is the severity aimed
towards you, or towards that evil spirit?"

Rolf was still for a moment.  Suddenly he began to cry very, very hard.

After some moments he said, "You showed up.  I have been waiting all these years
for you to show up.  And I thank you."

"You took care of the bully inside."
"You loved me that much!"

And then the Lord held him!

Rolf realized that the spirit of fear that had inhabited him came in at birth when he
almost died.

This whole encounter with the Lord probably lasted no more than twenty minutes.

He felt good for the first time in his life.

The next day Rolf said, "Yesterday was the happiest day of my life."

Rolf's life was changed by this brief encounter with the Lord!
