The Question Satan Couldn’T Answer: A Testimony of How God Delivered Me from My Untimely Death

By Philip U. Nkwocha

It was the devil that was hurting me. He was only masquerading as sickness. And in his anger, the Lord spoke to the devil, thus, Who gave you that authority to close this file when I have not given such authority?
There was grave silence everywhere. One could hear the sound of a pin if it had dropped at that moment. Surprisingly, the devil was quiet and suddenly dumb. The Lord demanded an explanation, but because the authority exercised by the devil was a usurpationa stolen mandatehe could not answer.
The devil does not have the last word in your life. This book provides graphic details of how the author was delivered from premature death by the gracious hand of the Almighty God.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I want to thank my God, Father, and Lord a billion times for His unspeakable love for my family and me. He delivered me from the shackles of death, trouncing the enemy and giving us reason to rejoice again.

Many thanks to Dr. Emmanuel Ebong and his medical team for being instruments that God used in treating me while I was in and out of the hospital. Doctor, your care and love go beyond that of a doctor with his patient.

I owe special thanks to my lovely wife. Mine, you believed even when hope waned; you were steadfast in faith and prayers; you took all the emotional shocks; and you were with me all the way through. God honored your faith and gave me back to you again. I love you.

I am grateful to my siblings and larger family. We were together in this time of adversity as at other times. In the unity of faith, you gave all; God heard you, frustrated the liars, and spared our family from mourning. I also want to thank my in-laws, especially my mother in-law, a woman of faith indeed, for laboring tirelessly in prayer until we won.

Last, I wish to express my thanks to the army of intercessors too numerous to mention for taking up the mantle to intercede on my behalf. Your labors of love shall never be in vain.

INTRODUCTION

In January 2007, God delivered me from the shackles of premature death. Since then, I have spoken of this great deliverance to whoever cares to hear. And it gives me great joy to relive the experience in a printable form, giving opportunity to those who I may not reach physically to celebrate and rejoice in God’s awesome intervention in my moments of utter hopelessness. I hope it will also build the faith of many, that they would fully trust in God, with whom nothing is impossible.

In the name of Jesus Christ, the God who helped me out of trouble, who never allowed death to swallow me, will save you from afflictions against your life.

This particular experience of deliverance from the forces of destruction taught me that there are some sicknesses that may have pathological manifestations, but the root cause is beyond what medical science can explain and treat.

I thank God for the great and enviable advances in various fields of science and especially in the areas of medicine. Innovations, discoveries, and improvements in the medical field have helped save many lives from various diseases and even death. I have good doctor friends, and they are doing much in the areas of their calling, serving God and humanity.

But there are several ailments that medical science has tried to explain without getting to the root cause. These cannot be scientifically explained, because they are demonically oriented. They are beyond the purview of natural sciences.

There are two sides to most—if not all—sicknesses. There is a medical aspect on one side and satanic involvement on other. Approaching your health problems medically alone may be lethal. You must also handle the spiritual aspect of the problem to deal a debilitating blow to the forces of darkness that might be masquerading under an ailment that is known or unknown in the medical field.

The doctor that treated me during my sickness has been our family physician since June 2001 and his independent medical account of it is included in this book. While he concentrates on the medical account of my particular engagement, I concentrate on other experiences that are beyond what medical science can explain.

My doctor has been a veritable instrument used by God in attending to our medical needs. Two of our four children were born in his hospital. He is a professional to the core. Unlike doctors that are know-it-alls, he does not claim to be everything to every patient. In some instances, he referred us for other opinions, especially when he felt we needed input from experts in those fields. Always studying and abreast of the latest developments and innovations in the medical space, he is godly and the best physician anyone could want.

CHAPTER 1

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

It all started in the early hours of Friday, January 26, 2007, with what appeared to be minor stomach upset. Prior to that day, I had no pain in any part of my abdomen. But that fateful morning, on waking up, I felt a little pain just to the left of my navel. I didn’t take it seriously, as I was busy getting ready for work. But the pains kept increasing in intensity as the day progressed.

At around ten that morning, I was very uncomfortable as the pains were persistent and unabated, so I asked my driver to take me to the hospital. After some observation, the doctor prescribed some drugs and let me go. Because the hospital was close to my house, I decided to go home to eat and take the drugs before going back to office. Though I was very hungry, I had no desire to eat anything. In order not to take the drugs on an empty stomach, I tried forcing myself to eat. But I vomited everything I ate.

By that time I was rolling from the bed to the floor to the sofa and back again as a result of the unbearable pains. My wife was called by her sister who was living with us, and she rushed home from work. I was like a shadow of who she had seen when we had both left for work that morning. She hurriedly prepared noodles for me to
