SID: Hello. Sid Roth here. Welcome to my world where it’s naturally supernatural. Would you believe that my guest prayed for the sick for 30 years. He saw two headaches and people even died. That’s true. He got to the point he didn’t even want to pray for anyone. Thirty years. God supernaturally set him free of unbelief and he has, with a vengeance, he wants to set you free. Do you want it?
Is there a supernatural dimension, a world beyond the one we know? Is there life after death? Are there hidden forces of darkness trying to block God’s blessings for your life? Do angels exist providing us with supernatural protection, disarming our enemies? Can our dreams contain messages from Heaven? Can we tap into ancient secrets of the supernatural? Is God ready to bring a tsunami wave of healing onto Planet Earth today? Sid Roth has spent over 40 years researching the strange world of the supernatural. Join Sid for this edition of It’s Supernatural.
SID: I’m with John and Janet Proodian. John, I don’t know how you did it. Thirty years, I prayed for a year and got no one healed, and someone actually died with me. But 30 years? And the sad thing is one of the people that died was your own father.
JOHN: Yes.
SID: Is it true you reached a point where you really were afraid to pray for people?
JOHN: The greatest source of frustration in my entire life up to that point was the healing ministry. I was frustrated, I was disappointed and I just viewed it as a complete failure. And I would pray for the sick. I’d try to get myself up to pray for the sick, and I would pray for the sick, but I wasn’t seeing any results. People were not getting healed. I prayed for people that were dying and they would die. They wouldn’t recover. I prayed for people that weren’t dying and they would die. It was very bad. It was very bad and it’s contradictory to Scripture. This is how I knew my life was not right because Mark, chapter 16, verse 17 and 18 says, “These times shall follow those who believe.”
The only requirement is to believe. It doesn’t say those with gifts of healing. It says, “To those who believe in my name they shall cast out demons, they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” Well I’m trying to cast demons out of people and they’re not being cast out. I’m laying hands on the sick and they’re not recovering, and I’m frustrated, and I don’t know what to do. I know the problem is not God. God wanted the very first person I prayed for to be healed, but that’s not my reality. My reality is not lining up with Scripture, so I know something must be wrong with me. The problem is never God. God is never the problem. I knew the problem was me, but I didn’t know how to fix me. So at this point in my life, it was 30 years, I don’t know what to do. My faith is low. This is when my father developed metastatic cancer. He went to be with the Lord. He’s a believer and loves God with all his heart, but it was absolutely devastating for me to lose my dad in that way. And I don’t know what to do at this point. I’m at a crossroads.
SID: But your wife was, Janet was in an automobile accident. What happened to your knee?
JANET: Well I was at a gas station one day and I went to get something out of the trunk of my car and the car that came up behind me experienced brake failure, and I was smashed between the bumpers of two cars. And I was taken to the hospital and the first miracle was I wasn’t killed, and nothing was broken. But I had extreme damage, bruising along my leg and nerve damage, and the knee was crushed. So I recovered to the point that I could walk, but I never ran again at that point.
SID: So the two of you go to the Healing Academy and what happened to you?
JANET: Well I picked up the book called “When Heaven Invades Earth” and that just sparked something in me, because we had been faithful church-goers. We would read our Bible and we would pray, but I had never heard of miracles happening in church. So when I read about that I said I want to go see this thing. I want to go see this thing. So we went to a conference and Bill Johnson was speaking, and he had a word of knowledge. And he said, “There are people here tonight who had been in an accident in previous years who were now having chronic pain.” He said, “God wants to heal you tonight.” My eyes got big and I stood up real fast, and I raised my hand, and he said, it was so commonplace with him, he said, “Okay, people behind these people with their hands raised, just put your hand and them and pray a simple prayer, I pray you be healed in the name of Jesus.” So when that happened, I felt this power hit me and actually knock me back into a chair and my leg started tingling. I continued to feel this tingling all night long. It would wake me up, wake me up, tingle, tingle, tingle, and in the morning when I woke up I had no swelling, I had no pain and even the nerves had been reconnected.
SID: John, What’s going on inside of you when you see what happens to your own wife?
JOHN: She became a different person after that. I mean, she was always a devout woman.
SID: But what happened to you?
JOHN: We were at a school of healing and impartation with Randy Clark in Mechanicsburg and one of the guest speakers was a man named Dr. James Maloney, and he starts saying about all these miracles that he’s seen, God healing hearts, with pacemakers disappearing, metal dissolving out of people’s bodies.
SID: Did you believe that?
JOHN: Him saying it, yes. Creative and recreated miracles, and I’m like this is what I’ve dreamed about my entire life. I told Janet, I said this is it. This is what I longed for my whole life. And he’s talking about his panoramic operation, how he sees things in the spirit and God gives him pictures. So he calls this little girl up. Now I don’t know the exact age, I’m guestimating here, she was maybe 11, 12, 13 years old, but she was the size of a five or six year old. She had a very severe condition that caused her growth to be stunted. So he calls her up, goes into this in very specific details. God gives him a panoramic vision of this little girl’s problem and he names it exactly. That’s enough to blow me away right there. I said, “Honey, I’ve never seen anything like this. This is amazing to me.”
Because she was shorter than she should have been. He said, “And God’s healed you.” Then he said, “God told me he’s going to restore your stature as well.” So I’m thinking, okay great, when this girl is 20 years old she’ll be the size of a 20-year-old, that’s what I’m thinking. Then he says, “God just told me he’s going to restore your stature right now.” Now it’s game on when you say something like that. You’re either a man of faith or you’re a complete fool at that point. I said I’ve got to see this. And Dr. James says, “Everyone just focus on the Lord. You focus on him. You don’t focus on the problem, you focus on the Lord first and foremost.” He says, “Everyone worship the Lord.” And as we’re worshiping this little girl is probably below his belt buckle. Right before our eyes she begins to stretch out above his belt buckle up to the first button on his shirt, second button on his shirt. And it was almost like all at once you could hear the air go out of there. Almost everyone, [gasp].
SID: Hold that breath. We’ll be right back in a second and you’ll find out what happened.
