Health care, is a big topic with people these days. Many are worried that if they don’t get their prescription filled they’re doomed. Does God word offer a health care program? Proverbs 4:22For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. God’s word is hidden to man’s wisdom and it takes the Holy Spirit to reveal the hidden wisdom of God. Now when God isn’t revealing his word to you it’s because of your pride and you refuse to see a wisdom greater than your own. 1 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Luke 11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. Greetings. In this letter we’re going to ask the Holy Ghost to teach us to pray. In the above verse one of Jesus Disciples asked of Jesus, to teach us to pray. Now if we already knew how, spiritually would be changing our thinking about God’s word. What is prayer? Millions would say communications with God. Sounds spiritual enough. Pray is a desire to hear God's word as He sees them. Psalms10:17LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear. If God has to prepare our hearts, it is because it is not right with Him in the first place. Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.The above verse is a prayer, prayed by King David because he knew what spirit man is born of. 1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God hearth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. My prayer of late has been to speak God's word with boldness: not ashamed to speak His word for correction to the simply. Matthew 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. When your desire is to know the revealed word of God, He has taken care of my physical needs. My prayer for the reader is that their Spiritual eyes to be open. The Apostle Paul prayed this prayer for the Christians in the city of Ephesians. Ephesians 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: Ephesians 1:18The eyes of your understandingbeing enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. Noticed in the above verse no desire or prayer is requested for: a loan on a new Chariot; perhaps a promotion from cleaning out the elephant cage at work. Then what manner should we pray after? Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Being a young man years ago I or anybody I ever met prayed that God’s will be done earth or in an earthen vessel. You and I are earthen vessels and God’s will be his word. Men’s will be the way they judge God’s word by putting their thoughts on it. luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done. God's will be that we suffer to all our earthly wisdom to hear His word or will. Men need to pray that God put his Spirit in our earthen vessel. 2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. Hallow be God’s name; not carnal thoughts put on it. What about the God’s cup in: Luke 22:42 ? As always, we ask the Holy Ghost to show the deep things of his hallow words. You see we would rather drink for our own cups or thinking. Jeremiah 49:12 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it. Men refuse to drink of the cup of God’s Spiritual judgement. It’s a bitter thing to partake of, we don’t want our thoughts on God’s word to be judged. Men would rather drink his own spiritually[thoughts] filth. Man has made God into image like unto himself. Exodus 32:20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.But if you’re drunk on your own imagination about God; anything tastes good. Deuteronomy 29:19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst. God’s Spirit brought to my spirit as I write this letter; the story of Joseph in the book: Exodus and about a silver cup; that will be a future letter. This cup that carnal man partakes of looks good to his deceived mind. Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. The Supreme Courts uses the image of a woman statue to represent the nations laws. The woman in the above represent carnal man’s thinking concerning God’s Law. He’s turned the virgin word of God, which was not defiled, into man’s thinking: a whore. Ezekiel 7:22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it. Man thinks God has answered his prayer because he lands an excellent job. Even still if he gets the new car loan at a 3 percent interest rate; God has spoken from heaven he thinks. When you defile his word, he turns is face from you. Then when he gets physically sick he can’t understand why God doesn’t hear him; God never heard him in the first place. He desired for something temporal. Temporal is the unrevealed word, that anybody who can read can understand. 2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. When God shows you what's hidden, he's answering your prayer. Jeremiah 11:14Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.In 25 years of Church hopping I never met an Christian who knew what he should be praying for. Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. God gave me his Spirit about five years ago; not because I spoke baby[tongues] talk. Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath givento them that obeyhim. I now pray to be silent; that the old carnal man be put to death; when I study God’s word. Job 30:23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. A house appointed for all living? Hebrew 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. I died spiritually in one hour 3 years ago at an appointed time when God’s judge my wicked thoughts against his Holy word. That old house must be destroyed to enter the house of the living. 2 Corinthians 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. Prayer is a desire to know God ways. But carnal man has no desire to know the ways of God, only his own thoughts on the scriptures meaning. Job 21:14 Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways.
