Our Guest Jim Staley
Sid: Well my guest has one of the fastest growing ministries in the country in which he teaches Hebrew roots but the thing that’s so amazing is his original breakthrough supernaturally came from an angelic visitation. He was raised Catholic; he wasn’t overly charismatic growing up, however after he started teaching on understanding, he calls it the first part of the book, or is known as the Old Covenant. After he started teaching and understanding this all of a sudden miracles started breaking out. Jim Staley tell me about one of the first interesting miracles that occurred.
Jim: Wow there’s so many that we could go through but I mean everything from there’s a Christian worship artist. This was in the last year and a half he’s called the Chris Tomlin of Russia. We have a very robust Russian U-tube channel, we have 30 – 40 Russians a month that are watching and he was one of them. He travels all over the world and does his artistry and singing and so on and so forth; and he began to start to learn the Christian roots of his faith; where the roots of his Christianity came from. Which is from the Hebrew perspective, and so when he did that he had never seen miracles before. But he was so impacted by this he flew halfway across the world to come meet me; he doesn’t even speak English; and he went back there and this is not a physical miracle but an incredible miracles non-the-less. He quit his job; went on full time missionary support and he is now planting churches all over the Baltic states; Russia itself you name it and he led one of the highest Bishops in the Russian Orthodox Church; the highest of all Bishops he led that person to completely surrender his life to Christ. And that person has stepped down from their position and travels the world teaching people the Christian roots of their faith. So the entire Russian Orthodox Church now has someone that’s traveling around the world teaching them the front of the book and how it relates to Jesus who is found in the back of the book.
Sid: And when I think of a particular group of Christians that are known for anti-Semitism that’s the group. (Laughing) Which makes it even more phenomenal.
Jim: Yeah.
Sid: Okay, tell me in your opinion one of the more unique miracles that have occurred because there’s just so many that are happening. I’ll tell you what tell me about the woman that had the tumor the size of a cantaloupe.
Jim: Yeah, you know this is an interesting story. She had… they were just traditional Christians and did their regular church and so on and so forth just going on with their life and she had this very large issue in her throat. She had to go in for surgery for it and right before that, 2 weeks before that, they came into the understanding of the Christian roots of their faith and began to read the Bible from a different perspective and it caused them to repent over a few things. And they made some changes in their life and in their family and just like all the times in the Old Testament where God’s people realized they were in sin they came back into Covenant and God began to bless them again. Well what happened was she went in for this surgery, the doctor said “You’re probably going to lose your vocal chords you’re never going to be able to speak again.” Of course that’s a very difficult thing for a family to deal with the husband lost his job. The wife had lost the children in a divorce preceding and so it was just a really really bad time in their life. After they made this confession that “God we’ve been out of Covenant we’ve made some changes were going to do this, we’re going to do that the way that you asked us to we’re going to do our best.” Within 2 weeks she came out of that surgery talking when the doctor said “That’s impossible that this has happened;” she was completely healed; the husband got his job back within a week and they got the children back from the court system within a week after that. All of this just within a 2 ½ week period of time, and that was an amazing story itself.
Sid: What happened to the tumor the size of a cantaloupe?
Jim: Completely gone.
Sid: How long did that take?
Jim: It was instant; I mean it was all in that 2 week period of time.
Sid: Hm. Tell me about the man that had back problems; disc problems and started doing cartwheels.
Jim: Absolutely I was walking through the office and he’s my shipping director and I just walked in there to say hi and he couldn’t get off of his chair he was almost like completely paralyzed he could hardly walk at all; he was in severe pain and I just said “Can I pray for you?” And I prayed for him just a little short prayer and started to walk out of the office and he said “Wait a minute I’ve got a fire running through my body.” And I’ve never heard of that before and so I turned around and he said “Oh, my goodness I’m healed.” And I said “What are you talking about?” And he began to do squats and then he came on stage the next day and did a cartwheel in front of everybody that his disc problem was just completely healed.
Sid: Now something that very very few of those that are listening to us right now understand and you brought it up yesterday and you call it Hebrew idioms. What is an idioms?
Jim: An idiom is and expression that’s known in that particular culture and if you don’t understand that particular culture and that language you’re not going to know that idiom is. For instance, when the Bible talks about a good eye and a bad eye in Matthew. Well a lot of people have preached that message as looking, or pornography or you know looking from the eye. But that’s not what it meant in the first century. A good eye was somebody that was very generous; a bad eye was somebody that was not generous that was stingy. And that’s why the context there says that you can’t serve both God and mammon; because the whole context is about money. And so understanding those Hebrew idioms are critical to really pulling the real meaning to the scripture.
Sid: Well I imagine a lot of people have their theology off because if they look at it literal and just as a matter of speech of that day they’d have no way of knowing unless someone had told them they’d get their whole paradigms wrong.
Jim: Oh, no doubt about it; just think of all the different ways that we speak to one another today that if you could parcel out and put it 2000 years from now people would think they were crazy if we told each other “I would die for that.” Well we didn’t really mean that we would die for that it’s an expression. And unless you understand what it means in that culture you’re going to take it literally and misunderstand that we’ve done that. And when you do it just one time it could infect an entire doctrine. And people live their life by what they believe. So it’s critical to understand the context.
Sid: Now, I’m very excited about this series that you’re making available. It’s 4 DVD’s called “Shalom In the Home.” Briefly, what will this accomplish for someone that listens to it and views it?
Jim: First of all, this will be something that they most likely that they’ve never heard before because I’m going to show them in the scriptures not just idiomatic Hebrew idioms that are completely misunderstood in traditional Christianity. But I’m going to pull up the tabernacle itself and I’m going to show the Ark of the Covenant and I’m going to show the mercy seat. And I’m going to go back to the original Hebrew language and I’m going to show you that just the Mercy Seat and Ark of the Covenant how it’s in male and female forms in the original word language and show that the roles of husband and wife can actually be shown from the Ark of the Covenant itself from the original language and the Mercy Seat and even what’s found in the Ark of the Covenant actually dictates the role of the husband. It’s amazing and that’s just within marriage but there are so many other things that we pull up through the scriptures from the original language that show these amazing ancient keys to success. And when we do what the Bible says to do from its original perspective oh, my goodness it really is a formula it’s A + B = C.
Sid: Now do you believe that we know as a fact Jewish people are under unusual favor of God; the highest percentage by religion of Nobel Prize winners, people that are the leaders in art, entertainment, science, law, business, doctors, lawyers… I mean all these people these Jewish people such high percentage I happen to believe it’s because unbeknownst to many of them they’re following these ancient relationship formula’s from the scriptures.
Jim: There’s no doubt about it one of the best stories I love to tell the friend of mine has a Jewish CPA and he walks into his Jewish CPA’s office one day to get his tax return done and he asked this CPA “You know I got a question for you. You do both Christian people and Jewish people tax return right?” And he said, “Absolutely.” And he said “Who makes more money, Jewish people or Christians?” And the CPA laughed and said “Jewish people of course, 10 to 1.” And he said “Why do you think that is; why are the Jewish people so successful?” And he picked up a Bible the CPA did this, this Jewish CPA picked up a Bible on his desk, piled it up to his friend of mine and said “Well you guys all read the back of the book but all the financial principles are in the front of the book which you don’t read or study.” (Laughing) That really illustrates the point that we’re making here that you got to understand these principles that are so ancient that the disciples knew by heart.
Sid: You tell me that people that go through your 4 DVD’s and the study guide and the 8 ½ by 11 inch quick reference guide “That Ancient Keys” and start beginning to understand the Ancient Hebrew Alphabet and all the secret codes in that, that it brings blessing, favor and success to every relationship in their live. From parents with children, to schoolmates to business, associates to relatives. Give me one quick example of someone that took this series and what happened to them.
Jim: I could give so many; actually there’s one even from your own ministry where his marriage was saved and his relationship was saved. But one of the most incredible ones was that there was a couple from Boston who was on the brink of divorce they were separated; they’d been separated for a year; they were both Christians; they tried everything they could find in Christian circles to make this work; they just couldn’t make it work. Someone gave them a link to one of my teachings on our YouTube channel and they watched it and the next thing you know that they watched the “Shalom in the Home” series. He realized like a mechanic looking under the hood what was wrong with his engine; he fixed what was wrong with his engine; he was completely the way he was felling something and he was reacting to something. Came back to his wife and they’re completely restored; beyond restoration they were so impacted and their lives were so changed by this; they sold their house and moved here to tell us about this testimony to become a part of this congregation. That’s the impact this thing had on their lives.
Sid: Jim, I believe that there are people listening to us these are so supernatural I don’t hear them taught anywhere but they’re all from the Bible. These ancient keys to resolve any conflict in any relationship and walk under the supernatural way of doing it’s not natural and then the ancient Alphabet secret code you found.
