Jesus demonstrates healing prayer

When we pray publicly it may be good to tell God what He already knows, but it can be only for our sake since He knows what He is before we started praying. We remind ourselves. Public prayers have a problem with self consciousness. What you say to God when others are listening in and what you say alone is an entirely different matter. Corporate prayer is not personal prayer. But when you are praying for healing publicly there is little difference. Jesus told us how to pray for healing. You have to have a "specific" desire. You have to "say", to speak, to the matter. You have to "believe" that His power can heal you. How do we know this? We watch Jesus heal someone. He asked what they wanted Him to do. He already knew that, anyone could see that, so why ask? He wanted an answer. A spoken answer. Answered prayer often seems to involve speaking. Speak to the mountain. Then He said, He pronounced it done, according to our "belief". Not His belief, ours. We have to do something in order to receive.
