Sid: Now in addition to myself and my guest Dr. James Maloney, Professor at Christ for the Nations who travels the nations because he has the most amazing prophetic and miracle ministry. But it’s the greatest miracle is that this man survived that he didn’t end up in a penitentiary or mentally insane or dead because just a baby he was neglected because his mother didn’t have the money to support him. And his mother’s husband wasn’t his father came back from penitentiary and just would beat him and smash and step on his face and beat him against the wall. Finally fortunately he was adopted by a family that loved him. But as a teenager he rebelled and almost understandable with a background like that. And finally 14 years of age 1970 I guess Jim I don’t know what was going on in your life but you must have been a pretty desperate youngster.
James: Yes Sid I was desperate a lot like many teenagers my adoptive parents were wonderful people, but they were hard working people they were gone an awful lot and so I had a lot of woundings because of the early years. And I couldn’t figure out why my biological mom didn’t love me enough to keep me and you know various questions that many people have.
Sid: Sure.
James: And so I just was very desperate by the time I’d turned 14 years of age I was rejected, wounded even suicidal I didn’t want to live anymore there was a lot of confusion a fear. There was a lot of activity I see now, I didn’t know back then, but in the area where I grew up in Southern California there was a lot of demonic activity and occult operations because it was an area that was strong in spiritism and this mysticism so that didn’t help me either. So when I was 14 it was December of 1970 I was very very desperate and I needed to know the reality of God and I needed to know I was loved for who I was, and I needed the acceptance. And even though my adoptive parents as I said Sid gave me as much as they could they were just gone a lot and hard working people and so we were neglected and I have some what the time we wanted to spend more with them and I have a sister who is younger who is about 3 years of age and so we were just very very desperate and so I cried out. It was December 31st and I just cried out to God I said “God if You’re real You’re just going to have to reveal yourself to me because I don’t think I can live another day.” And I was very desperate and the Lord knew that if He did not answer my cry for acceptance I wouldn’t be here today and He wonderfully answered that.
Sid: Tell me how He answered that.
James: Well you know if someone usually, and I’ve traveled all over the world Sid and I’ve shared this in conferences and Full Gospel Businessman’s Meetings and regional conventions of this and that and so it’s just touched 1000’s of people. And it’s very supernatural because somehow I wept myself to sleep it was December 31, 1970 as I shared with you. January 1st when I was awakened it was very early in the morning and sun had not yet come up and I was laying in bed and I woke up and all of a sudden I felt that someone was standing in my room. I know that it’s kind of hard to describe and someone was standing there in my room and I begin to shake. I wasn’t fearful because whoever was standing in my room there was a sense of peace and a sense of warmth and acceptance. My eyes were really tightly closed because I didn’t want to look to see who it was, but then I got like most young people I go very curious and so I opened up one eye and I just sort of peaked over to the left and I lifted my head up off of the pillow a foot or so and I looked down on the floor to the left side of my bed and I noticed that there was like this glow this light that began to spread. And wherever this light begin to spread Sid it just covered the area where it was you couldn’t see the carpet, you couldn’t see the wall as it began to rise up right in front of me. This light, this glory I can’t describe it correctly I mean I’ve shared this many many times and I cannot fully articulate the light and the glory of the Lord. But I knew that whoever was in that light the thought came to me that it was a person of royalty. And so what I did was I figured you know if it’s a person of royalty He deserves that I get out and kneel in front of Him. And so that’s what I did I got out of the bed and I knelt in front of this light, I didn’t see anyone at that time in the light. And as I just looked into that light it was kind of interesting because I felt compelled to just reach out and so I reached out my hands towards that light and that light penetrated my hands and literally went into that light. I just have to stop and say this I mean every time I share this I just get somewhat choked up because you know it was an experience that changed my life. But as I reached out into that light I always say this when I share this, that if you know that if Krishna would have been in that light I would have worshipped Krishna, if Buddha had been in that light I would have worshipped Buddha. But it wasn’t Buddha or Krishna because when I put my hands on into that light I looked down right in front of me I looked between my arms and there were two hands that came out towards me. And I looked into those hands and I knew immediately that they were the hands of Jesus. Jesus spoke to me and He said “I heard your cry for acceptance and I’ve heard your cry for reality.” And He said something Sid that just forever changed my life He said “I love you the way that you are.” And that touched me powerfully because I had spent a lifetime striving for love and acceptance. That wounding of rejection the fear, the torment the first 2½ years of my life many times because of their lifestyle my natural mother and her husband they would take me and throw me in the closet and they would just shut the door and lock it and sometimes I would stay there a whole day even 2 days at a time. And you know I don’t’ even remember the beatings but I do remember being in that closet and sense of isolation and that engulfing of darkness that just penetrated my soul and I would just sit in that closet just weeping and crying and wanting that acceptance why isn’t someone here to open up the door. And so there was a tremendous fear of rejection. And so when Jesus spoke that to me and said “I love you just the way that you are” I’ve got a purpose is what He was saying. I was gloriously touched in my inner man and…
Sid: Would you do something right now there’s someone listening right now that needs to hear that and the truth is that God loves them as much as He loves you.
James: Oh He does Sid.
Sid: Now will you speak on behalf of the Lord and say that to someone listening right now?
James: I definitely will share that to the people that are listening to this program. I just want you to open your heart because Jesus is one that shows no respecter of persons He loves you as much as He loves me and He wants to minister to you as He touched me. And I believe that one of the reasons why God gave me this encounter was to have a faith, a childlike faith, to reach out to people that are hurt, wounded and bruised. I know somebody that are listening your laboring under tremendous torment and fear. Maybe you’ve been abused physically, even sexually a sensing of neglect, Jesus is our great physician. The Bible says that He heals the brokenhearted He binds up the wounds and so I just want you to reach out just as Jesus answered my cry for acceptance you open up your heart to Him His ear the Bible says is open to your cry. And I’m going to pray for you right now in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord You’re the great therapist, You’re the great healer, You’re the one that restores people’s souls. As these precious people are listening to this program I ask as they’re opening their heart now and crying out to You for acceptance that You would hear their cry and that the anointed of the Holy Spirit would break every yoke of bondage that every fear, every sense of torment and rejection would be eradicated and that Your healing balm would be applied within their hearts, their souls. And Lord You see the tears, You know their hearts cry, You know what they’ve gone through let them hear as I’ve heard that their life has purpose and that Lord You love them just the way that they are You will receive them just the way that they are in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen and amen. Praise God.
Sid: I’ll tell you what the presence of God.
James: Oh, I feel it.
Sid: Can you feel that Jim?
James: I sense the presence of God.
Sid: It’s like the best way that I can describe it is that the Lord who reached out and touched Jim’s hands is reaching out right now and He’s putting His arms around you.
James: That’s right.
Sid: And He is saying “I’ve heard your prayers and I want you to know you are accepted by Me, I love you just the way you are.” And you know Jim I’m overwhelmed when I take a look at just a smidgen of how God has used you with the miraculous, but this is absolutely ridiculous in my notes it says in California that there was a woman by the name of Mary that had a pace maker and you prayed for her and you tell me what happened.
James: Well Mary is a precious lady and she was in one of our meetings and she was scheduled for heart surgery and one of the ways that the Lord uses me Sid is that sometimes He’ll give me a word of knowledge that simply means that He’ll reveal to me a person’s condition because it’s His way of Him wanting them to know that He’s there in the night and wants to heal them.
Sid: In other words you’ll know what’s wrong with them before they tell you.
James: Many times that’s correct. Of course the Holy Spirit brings it to me and I can’t just make them up but as He brings them to me and this is what happened to this lady I saw it in her. There was probably about 400 people in the service…
Sid: You know a fellow by the name of Branham used to do that.
James: Yeah Branham, William Branham was very prolific in word of knowledge very awesome in the late 40’s and early 50’s and he was used that way. So I just pointed to her and I said “Your scheduled for open heart surgery is that correct?” You know when you give a word like that Sid you’re either right or wrong. (Laughing)
Sid: Yes.
James: She said “Yes” and…
Sid: Oh I hate to do this hold that thought…
