John 5:7
http://booksteps.com/2008/03/10/john5-7/
The invalid wants to get well, realizes he is powerless to do so on his own, and understands that others must help him, but that it is ultimately God who performs the healing. Add to this the perseverance of waiting by the miraculous pool, day after day, hoping someone will help him and the man becomes quite eligible for a miracle. I won’t call it a formula, but rather a collection of right principles that prepare the way for God to work.
