“’That you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins’—He said to the man who was paralyzed, ‘I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.’ Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.” [1]
How can you know that God has forgiven your sins? Jesus healed a paralyzed man so that His listeners that day would KNOW that He has power to forgive sins.
Sin paralyzes a person’s prayer life with God. God’s Word says, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear.” “Your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.” [2]
The good news is that the Son of Man [JESUS] has the power to forgive sin. He says: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” [3]
“Dear Lord Jesus, please forgive my sins, so that like the man whom You healed of paralysis, I may rise up with new ability to bring You glory... for it is in Your Name Lord Jesus that I pray. Amen.”
[1] Luke 5:24-25
[2] Psalm 66:18; Isaiah 59:2

The Power of Christ’s Forgiveness
The Lord Jesus has graced me with revelations from the Book of Jeremiah that are helpful to better understanding the relevance of the Law, the Prophets, the Gospel, the Apostles, and the Book of Revelation. I am in the midst of preparing 54 video-recorded presentations, one for each chapter of Jeremiah, plus an intro and conclusion presentation. When the presentations are done, I plan to publish them on YouTube. I also welcome invitations to share these revelations in-person. In the meantime, I publish articles online, intercede for the peoples of the nations, and say to the Lord, “Here am I Lord, send me.”
