    Infirmity is a condition or disease that produces weakness and can lead to death. Sickness, disease, infirmity, and pain are now rampant on earth. Mostly, infirmities and diseases are demonic in nature.  This book is a mini spiritual warfare prayer book specifically targeted at destroying infirmities and diseases of kidney, liver, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and any strange diseases in your body and blood system. 
Each topic in this booklet that concerns you should be prayed with 7days fasting for a minimum of 1-hour praise and worship each day. 
The booklet can be used anytime during the day but I strongly advise you to pray in the night between the hours of 12 am to 3 am, since you are engaging in warfare prayers. 
The power of Jehovah Rapha will heal you and set you free from the bondage of infirmities and diseases through this book. Get your copy now!

    We have an enemy within and outside. Basically, in this book, we shall be discussing the enemy within. They are called household wickedness. 
One of the biggest problems confronting mankind today is the problem of household wickedness. It is not difficult to state that what makes a wall fall is within its foundation. It is always said that a house rat tells the bush rat that there is fish in the house. 
  
Equally, it is the thief inside that opens the door for the thief outside to access what is in the house. Your greatest adversity maybe from your own immediate family, neighbors, and friends. 
Household represents one’s immediate or extended family. It could also mean your friends or neighbors. It sometimes could mean the people closest to you who have information about you. 
You cannot really hide your nakedness or secrets before your household relations. They know your strength, failure, and successes. They know your prayers and sometimes your expectations. This book will help you to discover your enemy and win the battles of life.

    What is God saying to you in your dreams
 
Your Dream Directory is a beginner's guide to understanding the true source of our dreams, dream classifications, and even dream symbols.Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, or emotions that occur during sleep. It is an activity observed or enacted in one's sleep and impressed in one's memory so that when you wake up, it will be vividly remembered. If you forget your dreams, or think you do not dream at all, or dream but do not know the right prayers to pray, you may face great loss, sudden disaster or abortion of divine provisions.
 
This book answers questions like:
 
*Can we control our dreams?* What is the meaning of my dreams?* How do I handle dreams I have forgotten?* How do I pray when I forget my dreams?* I used to dream all the time. Why has my dream life suddenly ceased?* Should I pray for the gift of dream interpretation?* What does it mean if I see people in my dreams who have already passed away?* When do I share a dream I've received and when do I keep it to myself?* Why should I pay attention to my children's dreams?* The prayers to pray when you dream and forget or fail to interpret rightly
 
There are dozens of mentions of dreams in the Bible. From Abraham to Joseph, from Daniel to Pontius Pilot's wife, God has communicated with His people through dreams throughout recorded history.Why would God choose to speak to us while we sleep? Perhaps it's because we are too distracted during the day to sit still long enough for Him to share the deep secrets of His heart.Prayer Madueke is convinced God speaks to us in very personal ways. At times he may use pictures, memories, impressions, or even a still small voice.This book is everyone's book because dream is common to all people,rich, poor, and people from all race in all the countries of the world, welcome to your dream directory!!
