The Secret of Answered Prayer

I thought I would give you an extra, just a little extra something for your ticket.

So you'll feel like you're getting your money's worth.

And you know, we have a dentist over here on the second row, and I just told him that I want to be his poster boy.

Because at 65, I had 1 little cavity on the side of 1 tooth.

And he's the 1, by the way, in fact I may have mentioned this before, because there's several dentists here, I'm hoping that he's going to, on Monday, be putting a plaque on his office wall in the waiting room, you know what it would say, don't you?

Be true to your teeth or they'll be false to you.

Do you know I'm going to give you a health talk, just a real little short health talk, because we've had lunch and everything.

Now I know that a lot of you are medical people and you say, who are you, who do you think you are, what's your qualifications, and I didn't see you down at the medical school, and everything.

Now watch this now, this is really short and sweet.

And I don't like the idea, when I was about 20 years old, the doctor remarked that I had an irregular beat.

I have atrial fib and I didn't do anything about it.

You know, some people with atrial fib, they can feel it, you know, and I can't feel anything.

I took Inderol for a while, you know, as a beta blocker.

Now, I don't like the idea of taking rat poison every day, but listen to me.

The day that I have a stroke, and maybe I have a 1% chance a year of having a stroke, but the day that I have a stroke, whose life was just ruined?

See, she has to pick me up off the floor, right?

She picks me up off the floor, she feeds me, bathes me, and all the rest.

We owe it to those we love and who love us to live healthy.

Now the first reason to live a healthy life is whether we eat or drink or whatever we do, we do it to the glory of God.

The second reason is for the sake of those who love us and those we love.

The third reason is, You know, there's this, she's going to be a family practice doctor or something, right?

The third reason, Doc, is with a little luck, we drop dead.

You know, modern medical science has taken away all the easy ways to die.

Now they got to, you know, you're 85 and they got to resuscitate you and just keep cutting off a dog's tail piece at a time.

So really another motive for healthful living is to reduce the time of our disability.

You know I saw a lady yesterday at the Ontario airport and she was smoking a cigarette, bless her heart, and I thought, you know, to be smoking cigarettes these days is really gross.

Now if she wants to have the disease that comes from smoking, have it, but have it out in the desert someplace where her family doesn't have to bury it.

Bury it, because it's her family that gets messed up, isn't it?

It's so selfish to live an unhealthy life.

Now having said that, you see I can talk to you this way because I'm your grandpa and I know that if I was younger you'd get really mad.

Now I know you get mad at me sometimes with some of the things I say because some of you got mad at me this morning.

But listen to what Grandpa's telling you.

Anyway, you know, another thing, and I'm talking to medical people, some of your medical people, I think what we call the 10 natural remedies, you know in Spanish, ¿Alguno de ustedes saben hablar español?

Un remedio, un remedio is kind of like a medicine or a cure, right?

These 10 natural remedios, wow, these 10 natural, these what they call the 10 natural remedies are really not remedies.

Because when certain diseases set in, they set in and you can drink all the water you want and they're still there.

And another thing that I also learned, and I must be out of my mind to talk to medical people this way, but I say this because I'm a minister.

You know, in my trade, there's faith healers.

Do you know, I was talking with a doctor yesterday, do you know there's 30% we have a 30% factor that's called the placebo effect.

And when I heard that I thought to myself, that's what keeps the faith healer alive.

Because for some reason that we don't understand, at least us laymen, and I don't think you doctors do either, that diseases will suddenly go into remission and nobody knows why.

And they can say it's because I drank 20 gallons of water a day.

But that didn't have anything to do with it.

There are diseases, I'm sure that you understand, for which we can, what should I say, prevent them to a certain degree, right?

Some of us, I was talking to the dentist, I said, you know a lot of us are more genetically inclined than we would like to admit.

There's cancer that runs in families, isn't there?

There's heart disease and all that runs in families.

So we do have, genetically, propensities and we live a healthful lifestyle to play that down, to kinda hold it back.

But I'm just not comfortable really, and I think that we need to be careful, when somebody comes along and says, for example, and I know this will maybe bother some people, says, you know there's a cure for cancer but they're keeping it secret.

And you know I just can't understand the ethic to that.

You have heard that before maybe, if they're keeping it secret so they can make money and I'm thinking you just help.

You mean to say the doctors whose children are dying of cancer are keeping it secret?

You mean to say all of these people, they're keeping it secret so they can watch their...
