Introduction
This book is everyone’s companion. It’s specially designed for those who are very sick at home or on hospital admission, and other categories of people in helpless situations, who got so knocked down by the devil that they have little or no strength left in them, and also lacked the technical know- how to pray their ways into their much needed miracle.

Most people believe that prayer is the only spiritual exercise a person can engage in when in helpless situation and become healed or get any problem, be it financial, unemployment, marital, social, etc. solved in life. Painfully too, such prayers are often carried out in a way that is capable of taking life out such individual. Bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come (1 Tim 4:8).

Physical warfare rather than spiritual warfare worsens the health condition of any seriously sick person. Another belief in some quarters is that prayer must be highly audible and compete with noise, with a lot of gymnastic before God will hear and pour His healing and miracle upon his creation. Little did they know that God hears the least whisper and hidden meditation in the heart! I’ve had instances of people who are seriously sick, with such illness compounded by acute anemia and dehydration, being misled into engaging in energy sapping prayers, and untailored fasting, who died in the process!

What is prayer? Prayer is any approved way of communication between self and God, your Creator. There is no gainsaying; God who created the universe is ubiquitous and all knowing. He has the detailed chronicle of every man. Scripture says Christ knew all men and needed no one to testify of man (John 2:25). Most prayers are often done amiss. The most saints on earth fall victim of this. The Bible calls this an infirmity.

If communication is the keyword in prayer, but interestingly, then, prayer is not limited to opening and closing of the mouth as is the norm. Apostle Paul cited giving as communications which God cherish a lot.

When a man's way pleases God, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him (Prov 16:7). But your principal enemy is Satan, every theft, destructions, and killings in life are orchestrated by him (Acts 10:38). As your way pleases God, deliverance comes into your life, you enjoy full restoration and possess your possession. (Obad 17).

The key to getting from God is doing what pleases God. Unfortunately, what pleases God most times is seen as waste or foolishness to many because it seems unprofitable in the physical.

To get the miracle that will take you out of any problems, God request that you do what would please Him, and not yourself. God will not take you out of your predicament for doing things that pleases you, but because of your concern in pleasing him.

The solution to your problems ‘Miracle’ is a derived demand from those things that are within your power to do pleasing God. What do I mean? One of the keys is giving away some of the treasures that matters to you. This is just an insight into this great book, I need to reserve the rest for you to discover as you read along.

"Come now, and let us reason together, Says the LORD, If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land” (Isa 1:18-19)

In this book, I will be sharing with you twenty – one proven keys that will open all doors to your miracles no matter how stubborn those problems proved to be.
Life is all about giving, start reading now. I see you saying, “Lord, thank you” when you are through.

Part 1 - Helpless Situations
Chapter 1 - Bent Together
Helpless situations are broken, painful times, and circumstances you find yourself when you are down to nothing. Most times, it is when you are faced with life threatening problems which tend to be beyond your control. Sudden loss of job without any prospects of replacement, sickness or illness that the sufferer is doubtful of imminent healing or full restoration, shattered relationship with no expectations of forgiveness and reconciliation, and financial loss with no hope of recovery, are all instances of helpless situations. In each of these embarrassing situations, it takes only God’s healing touch for sufferers to regain freedom.

Though the primary purpose of this book is to rescue those suffering from sicknesses, illness and diseases, the secondary objective is to apply the principles taught in solving all other problems relating to family life, relationships, jobs, business and other areas not mentioned. In this light, I will like to share with you few stories about people who found themselves in helpless situations, and were delivered.
Woman With Hemorrhage

In Mark 5:25-26, a woman was said have suffered blood loss for twelve years, a condition that sapped her, made her socially and ritually unclean. She had visited many doctors, healers, and quacks, but none was able to give her any relief. Moreover, she spent a lot of money in the process, because to her what mattered most was to regain her health.

Come to think of it, it is most likely that the hemorrhage caught up with her even before she was ripe enough to discover her destiny and begin a life of significance. Perhaps you want to ask me, “Why think so?” Her name was in the cooler, she was simply described as a ‘certain woman’.

Mark 5:25-26
And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse.

This woman might have been riding on Sport utility vehicles before her illness started, but by priority had to mortgage all her investment, live in penury and walked about bear-footed.
Beloved I don’t know if you’ve been there before. Maybe you’re thirty years of age now and you gave the sparkling record of never having fall sick, then the teachings in this book may not be fore you. But I must tell you, even at that age if you refuse to be honest to yourself and say you’ve never been sick before, certainly as a child, when you were yet to be conscious of your existence on earth, those who nursed you will tell you in strict confidence that you’ve been there. What’s my target here? I’m trying to reiterate what Christ said that, “They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick” (Mark 2:17).

Please, get me right. I’m not saying that those who are well have no need of regularly medical check-ups. However, what I want to emphasize here is that a relatively healthy person never thought for a microsecond that he could fall sick anyway, until all of a sudden a symptom shows up in the dark.

Sickness is like a case, whether criminal or otherwise which no one on earth ever pray to have, but when it comes his way, he would do anything to ensure that he doesn’t lose it. Yes, no man on earth wants to be sick or attacked by any form of disease, but it’s inevitable. Sicknesses are carrier of spirit of paralysis which specializes in incapacitating its victim’s body and soul. Maybe you want to ask me, Moses, why do you exempt human spirit?

Beautiful! The spirit of man is the kindle of God in the heart. It’s God’s representation in a man, an exclusive property that is under His influence. I see God warn Satan severally concerning man’s spirit, “Danger zone keep off, if you trespass, you will be prosecuted”.
So, your body and soul – wills, imagination, emotions may be held captive by invading Satan and his numerous demons, but your spirit is not an easy crack for him. That’s why most people that sickness or illness claimed their lives, are said to have allowed it through indecent confession knowingly or unknowingly asking death to take its toll on them. The devil must have deceived them that that is the only path to health!

Man At Bethesda
Jesus went up to Jerusalem:
John 5:2-7
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

There was a lame man who was among the crowd of sick people that lay on the porches of the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-7). He suffered paralysis for thirty-eight years. At a stage, he found himself in an environment where it would be possible for him to be healed but the devil so afflicted him that such hope became a mirage.

Why? He needed an able-bodied person to carry him into the pool before any other sick person could enter inside. But this had been difficult since he found himself by the pool of Bethesda. His condition was made worse because he had a mind set that he wood never get his healing through the moving of the water. What he said to Jesus in Jn 5:7 confirm this: “The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me”. The paralyzed man seemed to be saying that his own case was the worst.

Empathetically, put yourself in the position of the man in question and feel the trauma he passed through. Definitely, he must have been brought to the pool by some relation or good Samaritan, who had to abandon him because of the harsh condition at the pool and the elongation of his illness. Yes, it looks abnormal to find the living among the dead. The number of visitors recorded by a sick person who is admitted in a given hospital diminishes geometrically as the patient stays longer in the hospital with little or no recovery.

About eight years ago, I lead a prayer team to pray for a very sick person somewhere in Akure, Nigeria. As soon as we started the prayer, the sick person decided to ‘do heavy’ on the floor – excreta, and the stench went straight into our nostrils and alimentary canal. The smell was worst than that of ammonia and rotten eggs put together. Beloved, as soon as my colleagues sensed the odour from the fasces, they stopped praying and left the room that same second while I continued until I had peace in my spirit that I have reached the point Holy Spirit wanted me to stop the prayer. After all, Jesus perceived a worst odour from the carcass of Lazarus before he summoned courage and raised him to life. So you can see, for so many reasons which are mostly selfish, only few people would like to keep company of the sick.

Woman Bent Together
Luke 13:11-13 gives a thrilling account of another woman who grew up to find herself in a helpless situation. This woman was said to have taken ill for the past eighteen years. He was so tormented by the devil that Luke reported that he was bowed together. New king James translation says “she was bent over and could in no way raise herself up”.
Luke 13:11-13 (NKJV)

And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, "Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity." And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God

Luke 13:11-13 (KJV)
And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

My God! Do you know what it is for a fellow human being to be bent over? I don’t know if you’ve seen some beggars out there whose deformities match slightly into the one described above? The lateral view of people with this disability takes the shape of the compressed wheel of a car. Believe you me, most of those suffering from this type of ailment walk with their hands rather than legs, which God designed for such strenuous exercise.

He who feels it knows it. I tell you, it goes beyond sympathy for anyone to be able to describe or imagine accurately the agony such people pass through. You’ve got to be empathetic enough to assess their condition properly. It is even likely that one of the instrument of ministry or means of carrying out her divine assignment is her hand. But here she is, the devil has sent her hand on wrong assignment – walking, while her legs are suspended vertically upward without any function. What a hopeless situation and predicament the woman found herself, reduced to a nonentity in the society.

Worst still, some unlearned people would be bold enough and told her she was responsible for her predicament. They may even label her a witch and despise her without remorse. Yes, one of the areas this generation is good at is finding fault with people. Those who are relatively or temporarily healthy blame those who are sick for their anguish. An AIDS patient is stigmatized as if fornication is the only source through which a person can contact AIDS.

A Wrong Minded Man
Beloved, let’s look at another man who was recorded in the Bible to be in helpless situation. This man was held captive by Satan so fiercely that his medulla oblongata was distorted and was no longer conscious of life that he became a lunatic:

Lk 8:27,29:
As Jesus was climbing out of the boat, a man who was possessed by demons came out to meet him. For a long time he had been homeless and naked, living in a cemetery outside the town. This spirit had often taken control of the man. Even when he was placed under guard and put in chains and shackles, he simply broke them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon's power.

For the man to have become homeless, walked about naked and lived in cemetery outside the town, no further conviction would be needed for one to conclude that Satan had indeed plagued such person with spirit of madness, reduced him to naught and robbed him of his destiny.
Pondering on the second verse, the demons of affliction became so violent and aggressive that they induced the man to break chains and shackles when under them. Worst still, he was no longer in control of his life, heart and mouth, this was why demons spoke through him rather than himself, when Jesus demanded that they vacate their habitation. All this while he was in his wrong mind until the demons were cast out and later sat at the feet of Jesus in his right mind.

What of the stigma? Remember, after Jesus healed him, this celebrant was so happy that he volunteered to follow Jesus wherever he was going, but Jesus told him, “No go and tell your friends about your healing” Yeah! I was choked, so a madman has friends? Yes, he had many friends and relations when the going was good, when those people could suck his natural endowments him and benefited one thing or the other from him. But when the devil turned him180 degrees and diverted his destiny, his acquaintances catered for him for few days and were quick to desert him.
Unfortunately unlike Jesus, who was led into the wilderness by Holy Spirit, the man in Luke eight was led by Satan into a strange ecosystem – an environment popularly referred to as cemetery, communing with legions of demons
