Sid: My guest by way of telephone is Dr. James Maloney Professor for Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas. I’m speaking to him at his home and he has a tremendous miracle ministry. I hope you were listening yesterday because some of these miracles like a pacemaker dissolving, having a word of knowledge knowing what’s wrong with a person. What about the person in California the woman whose teeth were rotten?
James: Well this was quite a few years ago Sid there was an usual manifestation of God’s presence in Palm Springs, California. And this lady was just scheduled to have virtually have her teeth just taken out and going to false teeth and she just came up and she said “I’ve got faith brother Jim you know that if you’ll pray for me the Lord will fill my teeth.” And it’s kind of humorous because she said I believe that it’s scriptural.” And I said “What do you mean?” She said “The Bible says open up your mouth wide and I’ll fill it.” (Laughing)
Sid: (Laughing)
James: I don’t know how scriptural that is she’s probably taking it a little bit out of context.
Sid: Yes but if she believes it I believe that triggered her faith.
James: Yes and so I kind of laughed and said “Sister go for it.” And so overnight the Lord really truly did recreate her teeth and it was just wonderful.
Sid: Did a dentist every look at this woman?
James: Yeah she went back to her dentist her dentist there in Palm Springs area and he came out angry she told me. He came out angry and he said “You know who’s been working on your teeth; and said I’ve never used this type of material I don’t know of anyone that has this type of material.” It’s kind of humorous because you wanted to scrape some of it off and analyze it.” You know but it’s a great sign and wonder a wonderful sign and wonder.
Sid: How about the boy who was told he would never grow taller than a 6 year old.
James: Where do you get these Sid?
Sid: Oh I’m not going to reveal my trade secrets (Laughing).
James: This was in San Saba, California… San Saba, Texas excuse me in a very presidios Pentecostal church and it was again quite dramatic because this little boy Sid was stunted at birth and the Methodist brethren was kind of great because the Methodist Brethren were praying and believing asking that the service Thursday night would be the healing service that when we would pray for the little boy the little boy would grow to be normal. And so here was about a 3 year old boy that looked about 8 months a little under a year. I mean his growth was stunted and the parents said that he would not be normal. And because of his frailness and littleness there was a lot of infirmities in his body. And so I prayed and it was like you could almost hear an explosion Sid I’m not exaggerating. Everybody broke out cheering and laughing and some fell under the power and this and that and we just had a great time. But you know in the natural you didn’t see anything but about 5 months later the lady this precious lady, Mary’s her name as well Mary Brown. And she called me and she said “Brother Maloney it was really humorous she said “I’ve been trying to get in touch with you you’re a hard person to get in touch with,” because I was traveling at that time. She said “Do you remember that little boy that you prayed for 5 months ago.” And I said “Yeah” she said “The parents wanted me to ask you how do you turn it off?” “What do you mean turn it off?” She said “They buy him a pair of pants and he grows out of them in 3 days; buy him a shirt he grows out it 2 or 3 days he’s gone through 6, 7, 8 sizes changes of shoe sizes. He’s head and shoulders taller than all of the kids in his class and she repeated it “How do you turn it off?” And we just saw Mary in Brownwood, Texas Sid a few years ago and of course she’s very elderly now and she came up and she “Do you remember the little boy?” She laughs and she says “Well he was playing football as a team down here and he’s 6’ 4” and he weighs about 240 pounds.
Sid: And do you have any idea what the doctor say that said “He’d never be taller than a 6 year old?”
James: You know I don’t know doctors are unique people they really are I got great respect for them Sid, but sometimes you know people can have a tremendous miracle go to their doctor some are very open to them hey I’ll agree with that and some are just I don’t know.
Sid: Now when you were preaching outside of the West Bank there were a lot of militant people there and they literally were growling at you was that true?
James: Yes Sid I had some gentleman come into the meeting.
Sid: I’ve never had anyone growl at me.
James: You know I get all kinds of reactions around the world you know especially when you’re in deliverance of the Lord. You know the demons they don’t like what you teach and preach many times and so I was preaching and they were growling I mean they were trying to intimidate me and these were militant people, Islamic people and actually they were putting fear in me.
Sid: And actually it really was a life threatening situation.
James: It could have been it really could have been.
Sid: So were you fearful?
James: I felt this fear this spirit of fear rise up and hit me and so I stopped and I said “God what do I do in this?” And the Lord spoke to me and said “Well roar back because I’m the only true Lion of a tribe of Judah.” And so…
Sid: I love that, I love it.
James: And the Lord gave me a scripture in Ezekiel chapter 3 it says somewhere around 15 and through 26 “That when they stiffen their neck against you or set their forehead as a flint stone you stiffen your neck back.” So that’s what I did I just kind of got in their face and I just growled and I also said “I’m not going to be intimidated.”
Sid: Well did anyone ever tell you Jim that you have chutzpah, that’s a Hebrew word that means nerve?
James: Well.
Sid: I mean you’re growling back at these militants!
James: It made me angry Sid I just got angry you know I guess a holy indignation rose up because there were a lot of people there that were…
Sid: How did they react?
James: Well they just shocked look I mean a lot of them were Muslims you know they’d never you know heard the simple plan of salvation.
Sid: They’d never heard someone growl at them.
James: Oh it was kind of interesting because afterwards when I gave an alter call those 3 men came forward and gave their lives to Jesus. And a lot of the people that came that were Muslim gave their lives to Jesus and this is what they said to me they said “We know your God is real and that He’s real to you because of your boldness and your assurance and your confidence you know that you weren’t going to be intimidated at all.” And I thought my “God you know.”
Sid: Have you ever had your life supernaturally protected because I know that you minister in a lot of regions in the world with relatives.
James: Yeah, I was in a militant area of India where I was not permitted to preach and I had I called up 15 blind people. The Lord spoke to me and said “I’m going to heal them every one of them.” And so there was approximately 15 people, but I noticed that the 16th and the 17th person were also in the line. So I’m going down the line and I’m praying for them Sid and there wonderfully healed. I mean every blind person was getting healed perfectly made whole. And I’m feeling kind of proud I’m thinking well it’s because I fasted a lot you know I prayed you know and this extra fasting and prayers released this great authority.” But what I didn’t know was God was protecting my life because if the 15th and the 17th person were 2 Hindu priests. They told one another “That if one person’s not healed that shows us that his God is one that shows respect of persons and we’re going to knife him.” And they had these knives underneath their garments. Well by the time the 15th person was healed they shook and the knives dropped to the ground. And one of the priests ran off scared screaming, but the other one bowed he gave his life to Jesus. So the Lord really protected me in that situation you know.
Sid: You know Mishpochah one of the most important things that I’ve learned is for your faith to be supernaturally through the word activated before a man or woman that moves in the gifts of miracles lays hands on you it makes all of the difference in the world. And that’s why I’ve listed to 3 audio cassette series by his wife Joy Maloney. She really has a supernatural gift of teaching and I can tell you personally my faith by listening to this was supernaturally activated. Then right after you hear these 3 just brilliant teaching by Joy Maloney, Jim prays a prayer of faith for you for the miraculous. And I don’t believe that there’s any distance with God. Out of curiosity Jim if you have ever prayed for people over the radio or on television and gotten reports that they’d been healed?
James: Absolutely, yes we have gotten several reports. The times that I’ve been on TBN, Lester Sumerall programs and others. Handkerchiefs that we’re sent to us one particular lady in Washington State was paralyzed from the waist down I believe and she was raised up and there for prayer. And yeah God does it there’s no distance in the Spirit realm.
Sid: Well I have found that God has really anointed the voice because it’s spoken word and tomorrow’s broadcast I’m going to pray that you be activated in the gift of prophecy and of words of knowledge and I believe that they’ll be so many people healed…. Jim, I know it came from God, but when did the gift of prophecy I mean I saw you just one after another just prophesying. And by the way you don’t know this but I checked up behind you and I said “Does that make any sense?” And they said “Yeah.”
James: (Laughing)
Sid: So I mean where did this gift come from it came from God but when did it start?
James: It started when I was in Bible school at “Christ for the Nations.”
Sid: Did someone lay hands on you out of curiosity and then it started or?
James: No not really but though I have to say that people have been dramatically and wonderfully used to help promote the gift of prophecy and word of knowledge and word of wisdom.
Sid: See most Prophets I meet are non-prophets they prophesy out of the flesh; it’s so wonderful when it’s the real gift.
James: Well God’s good and I mean I’ve been prophesying for over 27 years and people like Dr. Chuck Flynn and Dick Mills and many of the hearers will know them. They were instrumental in helping to release me, but I was about 18 when I gave my first word of prophecy and it was very specific to the young lady. And I think once I stepped out in tha initial word it just…
Sid: Woops we’re out of time.
