TODAY IS DAY 28 JESUS FORGIVES THE SINS OF A PARALYTIC AND HEALS HIM
Reading : Mark 2:1-12
Today's miracle is about a paralytic man carried by four of his friends to Jesus for a miracle. Though there was no way to access to the Lord, those four people found a way through the roof of the house to expose the sick before the Lord. As soon as Jesus saw the paralytic, he says to him "Son, thy sins be forgiven thee." (Mark 2:5). After forgiving his sins Jesus granted him his miracle.
No matter the excuses people make to cover and justify sins, we must understand that sins are highly poisonous and carry a high destructive power not only for the soul and for the spirit but also for the body.
If Jesus has forgiven the sins of the paralytic before he releases his healing, it shows that his sickness was a consequence of his sins.
Fom Scriptures, we learn that:

If Jesus has forgiven the sins of the paralytic before he releases his healing, it shows that his sickness was a consequence of his sins.
Fom Scriptures, we learn that:
- SINS KEEP AWAY GOOD THINGS FROM MEN ...
- Jeremiah 5:25 "Your iniquities have turned away these [things], and your sins have withholden good [things] from you."
- SINS SEPARATE MEN FROM GOD
- Isaiah 59:2 "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear."
- SINS HINDER ANSWER TO PRAYERS
- Proverbs 28:9 "He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer [shall be] abomination."
- SINS CAUSE SHAME
- Ezekiel 16:52 "...bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed ..."
- SINS CAUSE DEATH
- Romans 6:23 "The wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.?
- SINS CAUSE SICKNESS
- James 5:15 "The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."
IT IS WRITTEN
“Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy” (Proverbs 28:13)
ENGAGE TODAY'S PRAYER TO REPENT FOR SINS WHICH KEEP YOU IN BONDAGE
REPENT FOR REPEATED SINS
It is written “affliction will never rise again a second time” (Nahum 1:9)
My God my Father, I’m trapped in an endless cycle of sins. I break this cycle today in the Name of Jesus Christ ! I rebuke it today in the name of Jesus Christ ! I curse its root today in the name of Jesus Christ !
WE REPENT FOR THE SIN OF PRIDE
it is written in 2 Corinthians 10:5 “casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ,…”
My God my Father, my heart swells by reason of pride. The sin of pride causes my heart to become insensitive, unresponsive, indifferent, unconcerned to your warnings. Today, I pull down the stronghold of pride in my heart and I ask you FATHER TO HAVE MERCY ON ME . . . IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST !!!
REPENT FOR THE SIN OF THE LUST OF THE FLESH AND THE LUST OF THE EYES.
It is written in 1 Corinthians 9:27 “I keep control of my body, and bring it into subjection”
My God my Father, I’m undisciplined with my eyes, with my mouth, with my sexual behavior, with my prayer life…I come to you with a repented heart. Forgive my lack of discipline in different areas of my life and help me to walk victoriously
REPENT FOR UNGODLY FOUNDATIONS
My God my Father, the foundations on which I build my life, my marriage,
my relationships, my ministry, … are wrong, ungodly and wicked …I come to you with
unveiled face and pray that your mighty power pulls them down.
Shake those wrong foundations and build my life on right foundations IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME !!! (Acts 16:26)
Shake those wrong foundations and build my life on right foundations IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME !!! (Acts 16:26)
REPENT FOR SPIRITUAL LAZINESS
It is written in Acts 16:26 "Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed."
My God my Father, my prayer life is not constant. I lack commitment and consistency. IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME, ignite the flame of passionate, fervent, zealous prayer life in my heart. I declare and I decree from today “The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out” (Leviticus 6:13).
REPENT FOR SEXUAL SINS
It is written in Psalm 38:22 “Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.”
It is written in Psalm 40:13 “Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
It is written in Romans 7:24 “O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
My God my Father, sexual integrity is still an issue for me. I still struggle with it. My FATHER, I’m helpless. I therefore surrender totally to you. Come to my help as your word says,
REPENT FOR THE SIN OF LIE
It is written in Psalm 120:2 “Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue.”
It is written in Proverbs 30:8 “Remove far from me vanity and lies …” My God my Father, I lie to myself. I lie to others. I lie to the Lord. I lie to the Holy Spirit. I lie to the Father. I’m not true to myself and to others. I come to you with an unveiled face. Forgive me and deliver me from the snare of self-deception. Have mercy on me IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME !!!
REPENT FOR THE SIN OF BREAKING COVENANTS
It is written in Psalm 25:10 “All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.”
My God my Father, I’m not a covenant-keeping man/woman. I’m a covenant breaker man/woman. Have mercy on me as I RECEIVE THE GRACE OF COVENANT KEEPING IN JESUS NAME !
PRAY FOR DIVINE ENLIGHTENMENT
It is written in 2 Corinthians 2:11 "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."
My God my Father, I’m ignorant of the devil’s devices because I don’t know God’s plan concerning me.
Today my prayer is that you “Give unto me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ”, “Enlighten the eyes of my understanding that I may know what is the hope of your calling, and what are the riches of the glory of your inheritance in the saints,
Father, enlighten the eyes of my understanding that I may know what is the exceeding greatness of your power toward me IN JESUS NAME !!!” (EPHESIANS 1:17-19)
