Concerning revelation:

If it is true, its not new;

If it is new, its not true.

Apostle Dr. Terry Mize

Audio Tape 2
James 5:16-18 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (17) Elias was a man subject to
like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the
earth by the space of three years and six months. (18) And he prayed again, and the heaven gave
rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

That doesnt mean that I come to you and tell everything Ive done wrong and you tell me everything
youve done wrong. Neither does it tell us to confess to the priest. It says to learn where our faults are
and say to the other Im sorry I made the mistake. When we wrong each other. Unforgiveness and
refusal to own up your wrong which means therefore you perpetuate your wrong can keep you sick.
The prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available dynamic in its working. The prayer
of a righteous man. We are talking about changing hopeless situations around. Can we change them for
our good? Yes! The prayer of a righteous man can make that happen. The prayer of a righteous man
makes tremendous power available. But then it is the prayer not just of anybody but not of a
righteous man!
The question then again is are you righteous? If you were righteous you could pray a prayer that will
work. Why do we need someone to pray for us? Because we believe that that ones prayer will be
effective. Sometimes we do not have confidence in our own prayer.
I read to them the author of the commentary on this Bible. He is my dear theological friend and I like
to introduce to you my professor doctor theologian and what he believes about the subject of healing.
See this is one of my best Bibles. Ive a lot of them and this is among the best. What am I saying? Even
among the best you have to really be careful! Its got a lot of beautiful nice stuff in here but even then
he says some things which make me want to spit. You will feel the same in a moment. He is making
his commentary on the subject of healing here on James 5:14-16

James 5:14-16 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray
over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: (15) And the prayer of faith shall save

12 | P a g e
the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
(16) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The
effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I want you to observe what the Bible does not say. The Bible says in verse 15
1. The prayer of faith shall save the sick.
2. The Lord shall raise him up.
The Bible doesnt say the Lord shall save the sick and the prayer of faith shall raise him up. The Bible
says the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up. Which means its not the
Lord that shall save the sick but the prayer of faith shall raise him up. Otherwise he would have said the
Lord shall save the sick and raise him up. There is a great difference my friend.
Before I get there Id like to read the mans commentary on this subject on healing. I said its one of the
best. You see anybody can study the Bible make notes on the Bible, go to any college or any school and
get the hermeneutics and homiletics and come out of school and quote scripture and analyse them and
still dont know them. You have to have revelation. Revelation is given to a man without a material
medium. Listen to my friend. My friend after all I love his commentary I just dont like this kind. Listen!
Im reading from his commentary
When a Christian is sick he should confess his known sins and God may heal him.
Somebody is wondering whats wrong with that? Nothing! Just listen to this. Im touched by this man.
Although God does not always choose to heal He sometimes does.
I mean.. How can anybody go to Bible School and come out with this stuff? But thats what they taught
him and thats what hes trying to teach us. Do you know that a lot of Christians believe this? This man
is a Christian I read his commentary. Hes a wonderful Christian. He is. Im taking him up here. See he
is not here so nobody is going to write me a letter. I dont criticize nobody. You can know if I had his
book and he has gone through all these and written all these chances are he must be quite elderly too if
hes not gone to heaven. Because this commentary has been here a long time. So he should know better
than I but thats mans way of thinking. God doesnt think that way. It is by revelation of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. Listen to this now.
When a Christian is sick he should confess his known sins and God may heal him. Although God does
not always choose to heal He sometimes does. The prayer of faith discerns Gods will and perseveres
until it is accomplished. Gods will however is not to heal in every case and true faith can discern and
accept that.
In other words if you are
expecting a miracle you are
doing the wrong thing. True
faith ought to be able to know
whether God is willing to heal
and he may not want to heal. If
God wants to heal you Hell
heal and if not He wont but
have faith and stay still. You
cant push God.
How dare you!

13 | P a g e
Thats coming from the holy book. Is there any wonder why people read the Bible and study the
commentary and come back unbelieving? That thing is right there. You dont have to go to the book
store. You get a Bible and you have this stuff thrown in there and its as though it is Bible. This is a
commentary by a man who hasnt studied the subject. I dont mind that he believes it and I feel sorry
for him but Im not happy that he put it in the book. Now hes going to make a lot of people believe the
same thing. Whats his problem? He does not understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many people dont.
They say the Gospel according to St. Matthew and they think everything that Matthew just wrote is
what it is. That gives you the Gospel if you find it. What is the Gospel? The Gospel is the good news
of Christs salvation. What is it? How can be this Gospel to tell us that God sometimes chooses to heal
and sometimes doesnt and if you have true faith you can accept that.
I love R.W Schambach. One day a lady came to him and said I want you to pray for me. Im sick. I
believe God put it on me to make me humble. So the preacher laid hands on her and said Father give
her more of it to make her more humble. She said No you dont!! God wants you to be more humble.
Humility is a virtue and God wants you to have it. Hes trying to get a point across to her. God doesnt
use the devils tools.

Acts 10:38 Jesus went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for
God was with him.
All that Jesus healed were oppressed of the devil. Ohh no this is not the devil this is simple malaria and
do you mean to tell me when a mosquito bit me the devil actually bit me?
No sir! No devil came to you. I want to tell you something. The mosquito was never made to transmit
that germ. So why does it do it? Now you are asking the right question.
I said the man has a problem with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He doesnt know it. When we pray to God
to heal us God does heal because God is an eternal being and God actually does work in the now and
He works through the Holy Spirit, through His word and through us. Truly speaking in the legality of
it God does not heal because God has already healed. So He does not heal. In the Gospel of Jesus Christ
God is not giving you what you are asking for because He has already given it to you before you knew
to ask for it.
When you pray for a job God is not giving you a job. When you pray for a house God is not giving you
a house. When you pray for the good things in life God is not giving them to you. Now when you pray
and you receive it then we go Oh Thank you Father! God has done it. He has done it. See we are
looking at it from the wrong side. From the wrong perspective. Because He didnt has done it because
He already actually had done it a long time ago. But you didnt know and when you prayed you opened
up your faith and by your faith you received to you what God had already made available to you through
Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. 1 Corinthians 3:21 - For all things are yours;
You have to understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ is real.
The man Jesus came and

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the
chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
That was prophetic Isaiah looking to the cross. Jesus hadnt come yet and Isaiah was looking at it and
says Isaiah 53:3-4 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with
grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (4)
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten
of God, and afflicted.

Then Jesus came and on the cross and He is dying and while He is being wounded and the word that
the prophet said is now coming to pass. Finally the man dies and is credited to my account. So it is as
though I died on the cross. The Bible shows us that the disciples couldnt understand this. They were

14 | P a g e
looking but couldnt understand. Then He was buried and was raised from the dead. Peter was looking
at all this. Several years later he wrote to the churches.
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to
sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
He looked back on the cross. You know some people say every time you take the Holy Communion
Jesus is dying again for you. When they eat the bread they think its the very flesh of Jesus and the
very blood of Jesus. Brothers and sisters in Christ, the Bible does not say so. Jesus doesnt die again
for you. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Now if Jesus dies every time when you take the Holy Communion, Jesus is trying to bring you out of
condemnation again and again. Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Now if Jesus dies every time when you take the Holy Communion, then you have to be justified by
faith again. To be justified again mean that the last justification has been nullified. Hebrews 9:28 So
Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear
the second time without sin unto salvation.
Now here Christ was once offered does not mean like once upon a time. It means Christ was once and
for all offered to bear the sins of many;
The guy who said sometimes God heals and
sometimes He doesnt. That man does not
understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now what
does he not understand about the Gospel? That
Jesus came and died? No thats not the problem.
He does not understand the subject of
righteousness. That is the big word of the Gospel
that most people dont understand. Thats what
they need to understand.
We read in James 5 that the effectual and fervent
prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous
power available. If you have been praying and
your prayers are not effective the chances are you
do not understand the subject of righteousness. How is a babe qualified in the scripture?

Hebrews 5:9-13 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them
that obey him; (10) Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. (11) Of whom
we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. (12) For when
for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first
principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong
meat. (13) For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a
babe.

Why does he use the word unskilful? Its the same word used to refer to someone who is using the
sword skilfully. Everyone who uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness. The word of
righteousness or the doctrine of righteousness is the sword of the spirit. That man cant apply the word
of God. He cant use it in the crisis of life because he is a babe. He cant fight the battles of faith because
he uses milk.

Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason
of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

15 | P a g e
Reason of spiritual exercise have their spiritual senses exercised to discern both good and evil. That
means by living in the word by acting on the word and by doing the word they have their spiritual senses
exercised. There more you exercise your muscles the tougher they are. Strong and tough. Spiritual
sensed are that way too. The more you exercise the tougher they are. More sensitive they become.

1 Corinthians 3:1-3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal,
even as unto babes in Christ. (2) I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were
not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. (3) For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is
among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Ive been to some places and Ive felt like Paul talking to the Corinthians. I just couldnt talk. You start
experiencing real lonesomeness because they cant communicate at your level. I had to give them baby
food. A lot of Christians they need baby food. But you cant stay there.
There are three levels. The natural man one who is not born again. Then there is the babe he is born
again but a lot of times he also acts like the natural man because he walks in his senses. Then there is
the spiritual man the spiritual man the Bible says he understands. Like John in his first epistle divides
the child of God into 3 groups. Babies I write to you little children who have known the father in 1
John 2:13. They know God as their heavenly father. Then he says young men because you are strong
in 1 John 2:14. They say we are going to have this in Jesus name they are strong. Then he says to the
fathers of the church in 1John 2:13 you have known the father. This time its experiential knowledge.
They have a lot of faith and a lot of patience in them. Growing in Christ. You dont become a father
overnight or by your longevity.

16 | P a g e
How do you know whether somebody is spiritual or carnal? It matters on the doctrine of righteousness.
The difference is not whether youve been here a long time. The difference is whether you understand
the doctrine of righteousness. This man with all the commentary Im telling you is a babe. He may not
like to hear it. Im not talking about definition of righteousness. Im talking about the subject of
righteousness. Every day we are living according to our understanding of the doctrine of righteousness.
Your faith can never go beyond your understanding of righteousness.
You dont grow in righteousness. When you are born again you are as righteous as Jesus is righteous.
Righteousness is a gift. He became sin who knew no sin so that we might become the righteousness of
God.
You see a babe can have anything happen. Elijah was called a righteous man. Elijah commands fire to
come out of heaven and fire comes from heaven and lights up the sacrifice burns up. He slaughters all
the false prophets 450 of them who were in that Jezebels table. Right now he is Gods man and
everybody knows that Elijahs God is God. And then after that great victory someone comes and
whispers Elijah, Jezebel is mad now. She was not in town when you killed all her prophets. She says
shes going to make you like one of them. What does Elijah do? He flees. And he gets somewhere and
starts crying. Oh God what is this? Jezebel has killed all your prophets and Im the only one left. She
wants to kill me too. What am I going to do? Thats a man who God answered his prayer before all
Israel a moment ago. He runs away just for hearing Mrs. Ahab Jezebel by name is coming after him.
He says to God Oh God take my life. It is better for me to die! Then go back to Jezebel. Shell help you
answer that prayer! He wasnt honest. If he really wanted to die he would have gone to her.
Im showing you the kind of man that God uses here as an example of a righteous man.
There is nothing that offends God as much as unbelief.
Unbelief spits in His face. The first set of people that go to hell in Revelation 21:8 are No.1 the fearful
No.2 the unbelieving before the adulterers, murderers, idolaters and liars. The chief qualified for hell is
the fearful followed by the unbelieving. Who has committed the highest sin? Elijah! Hes afraid of a
woman and hes unbelieving too.
So what is righteousness? Gods definition of righteousness.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Does it say one of the gifts of God is eternal life? It says the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord. God is going to give you anything this is it. This will encapsulate all of the gifts
combined. It means you have got everything else.

Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Does it say they who are given? Or they who receive? Its one thing to be given and another to take it.
Its not the giving side that has the problem it is the receiving side. If you receive or you dont receive
is the question. Giving God gives to everybody. They who receive abundance of grace and of the gift
the the gift. The gift righteousness.
Romans 6:23 the gift of God is eternal life.
Romans 5:17 the gift of righteousness
Therefore the gift of righteousness is the free gift of God which is eternal life.
Righteousness = Eternal Life.

17 | P a g e
Eternal life does not mean living on on on everlasting life. Everlasting forever this year the next year
and the next year and the next 100 and the next millennia and so on and on and on. Even though the
guy is not fine. Hes just living. Thats not what hes saying. Righteousness is eternal life.
Righteousness is the nature of God. It is that life of God that qualifies Him to be who He is. That life
and the nature of God that gives a man the ability to stand in the presence of God, in the class of God
without a sense of guilt, inferiority or condemnation. Whatever God does is right. We dont know what
is right or wrong until God says it because He is the standard for rightness. You cannot improve on
perfect because He is perfect.
English could not give us a better word than eternal life. Its called Zoe. Its the God kind of life. You
have the plant life, animal life, and celestial life for angels and there is the kind of life that God has and
God is. God is life. That thing that makes Him God is called Zoe. That life is life with righteousness.
That life cannot and doesnt know defeat. That life cannot fail or go under the pressure. When it bears
upon a thing it comes in as God.
They who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life. How else can they
live but reign? Because they have in them the life of God. They can stand in the presence of the
adversary without fear. They can stand in the presence of the almighty God without fear. Its a gift. You
cant work for it. The day you proclaimed Him Lord over your life you were transferred from the domain
of darkness and catapulted to the kingdom of Gods dear son. Those who live in the Kingdom of Gods
dear son can live there by virtue of Zoe which is the life and nature of God. That thing that makes him
right. The only way you can please God is to have that life. You cant get it some other way! People
say Im working on it. I want to please God first and come. If you could you wouldnt need him. This
is the kind of life that gives you the confidence the faith to pray and expect and answer from heaven.
When you say I command the sickness to go! Or command a demon to go? How could you say that with
the spirit of dominion? The Bible says He has made us Kings and priests unto God and His Father.
Thats the reason a man like Smith Wigglesworth can have the devil come into his room, pulls him off
of his leg and he wakes up sees that its the devil and says Nothing? Is that you? And goes back to sleep
and hes not scared. Thats how Peter said to the man Silver and gold have I none. Such as I have give
I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. Thats how Paul could tell a man Stand
up on thy feet and doesnt pray. The man leaps and walks.
Effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available dynamic in its working.
You can blow anything up just by praying. See what righteousness is? When you dont understand the
subject of righteousness your faith is weakened. Oh Father you said in your word You are trying to
take Him to task.
Those who use milk are unskilful in the doctrine of righteousness. What is milk?
Brother, God is going to make a way where there is no way! Amen.
He divided the Red Sea! He will divide it for you! Amen.

18 | P a g e
The Lord shall turn your darkness to light!
Amen.
Thats milk. Its time you start looking for
the strong meat.
When you understand righteousness you
are not saying The devil is after me! You
are saying Where is that devil? Thats
what happens. You no longer accept let
sleeping dogs lie. That devil is not
sleeping. If there is no trouble you make
one. Thats what happens to you when you
understand righteousness.
They that receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. Grace is in abundance. Paul writing
to Timothy said 2 Timothy 2:1 Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. In other words take
advantage of the grace. People are looking what not to do? Just to be ok.
They which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life. Reign in this
life not in heaven. We are not reigning in heaven at all. There are no subjects to reign over in heaven.
We will go to heaven but we are not going to
reign. We will go there for the marriage
supper of the lamb and we are going to be
rewarded and crowned. Then we come down
with those crowns back to the earth for
another millennium 1000 years of peace. An
angel from heaven will get a hold of that
devil and put him in the bottomless pit and
he will be descending for 1000 years. After
the 1000 years he will be brought back out
again. Someone said Why again oh? I can
tell you that another day. So we will reign in
that 1000 years and we will reign again in
the new heaven and the new earth. There will be a new earth. This one will be burnt up with the works
on it. Gone forever. Thats another subject
