Our Guest Jim Staley

SID: Welcome. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. Now Daniel 12 talks about the last days, and he says “In the last days, there will be an information explosion”. Sound like computer? Sounds like computer to me. But there’s something I got, it’s so fabulous. The ancient Hebrew letters were actually pictographs, pictures and my guest is going to explain to you about these, how pictures describe one of the most beautiful presentations of Jesus dying on the cross you’ll ever hear. So Jim, you’re raised in a nice Catholic home. Your mother gets what’s called charismatic, interested in the gifts of spirit, healing miracles. She goes to friends of mine, the Hunters, who are now in Heaven, and you go with her, and you’re really impressed. I mean, you hadn’t seen anything like this before.

Man: Praise God, I can walk! Praise God!

SID: So you go back to school and what do you do?

JIM: I’m in Catholic school, sixth grade. I don’t know [unintelligible]. All I know is what I just saw was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. And I went back and there was a gentleman, a friend of mine named Micah, and one of his legs was a little bit shorter than the other, so people always make fun of him because he was limping around. And we went into the bathroom, and I said, “Can you sit down for a second. I want to pray for you.” I was just doing what I saw. I didn’t know any better, right. I didn’t know any magic words or anything. I just took his leg. I did exactly what they did and I just said, “Leg, will you come out.” And it did!

SID: You must have been shocked.

JIM: Well I was shocked. I didn’t know what to do. I was in sixth grade and I just saw a miracle, and that was one of the first most supernatural things that ever happened to me, I think.

SID: Okay. He’s doing a Bible study and he knows he doesn’t understand the book of the Bible that he’s trying to explain. Very frustrating, right Jim?

JIM: Absolutely. Definitely. God started me out. He said, “Jim, if you want to understand the direction that I’m going to take you and you want to understand the Bible, I want you to understand the Book of Romans.” And so I was sitting on the couch with my wife and she was on her laptop, and I was on my laptop, and I was studying the Book of Romans, and I came to Chapter 3. I didn’t even get three chapters in and I’m already completely confused. But I went to bed that night and in this dream, Jesus, Yeshua, walks into the picture and then I walk into the picture, and the camera angle was from behind, and he starts explaining to me all the different parts of this wall. This was a door, this was a gate, this was a window, except it wasn’t audibly, it was telepathically. We were speaking mind, you know, from spirit to spirit. And he walks me all the way around this ancient footing until I realize it’s the Temple. He was explaining to me how it got into ruins it was theologically. It was we do what we believe. And so that dream finished and I woke up to my wife, waiting for me to wake up. She was, eyes bulging, a couple feet away from me, waiting for me to wake up. She said, “Jim, what happened last night?” And I said, “What do you mean?” I still didn’t get it. And she said, when I opened my eyes halfway through the night I was on my right side. You know I can’t sleep on my right side. I opened my eyes and there was a man standing over the top of you. And this is when I kind of woke up and realized, oh my goodness, I connected the afternoon before to the night. This was a dream and a vision that an angel brought to me. But I went back to the same couch the next day, afternoon, didn’t think a thing about it and I started my studies over again. I don’t have any background in biblical knowledge or seminary, or anything like that. And I started to read and I got to Chapter 3 and then 4, and then 5. And I went all the way through the chapters of Romans, and it was if I wrote the Book of Romans. I understood Hebrew idioms. I understood phrases and phraseology.

SID: But wait a second, Jim. You can’t, an idiom, you have to be taught. What is an idiom?

JIM: An idiom is an expression that we have that can only be understood in the context and in the culture that we live in.

SID: Well you know what happened? Jim had downloaded revelation by the one that wrote the Book of Romans and I believe that he got it, let me give you an example. Pull something out that was downloaded into you from the Book of Romans. Give me one nugget.

JIM: There’s one phrase in the Book of Romans that God showed me, that is the most misunderstood phrase in the entire New Testament, that we would call the B’rit Hadasha. And the phrase, “under the law”, I always understood as we’re no longer under the law, meaning we don’t have to keep it. But God, as I went back to the Book of Romans, He said, “No, no, no. You’re misunderstanding the context and the culture that I meant it at that time.” What Paul is saying is, it’s actually the same phrase that we use in the legal court systems today, is that we’re all under the jurisdiction of the United States Constitution, but you’re only under it when you break it. And so God said, that you’re no longer under the penalty of the law. It’s the penalty that I died for. I didn’t die to take away what I put in place for your protection. The Messiah came to set us free from our punishment, which we deserve, not the Constitution.

SID: You know, there’s such a paradigm difference. But here’s what happened. As he started getting these revelations and teaching them, miracles erupted, and previously to that, not a whole lot happened in the miraculous. We’ll be right back.
