Prayer Posture That Brings Instant Forgiveness
Watch on YouTube ↗ Read transcript ↓
Summary
In one line: Right posture brings forgiveness before you even ask — seeing their faith, Jesus first forgave the paralytic's sins (Mark 2:5).
Key points
- The woman at His feet (he identifies her as Mary Magdalene) never said "sorry" — her love was evidence she was forgiven (Luke 7:36-50).
- David messed up often, yet God loved his tenderness and ability to be corrected. Quoting scripture about your own perfection isn't love.
- His Uncle Simon taught him: "When God forgives you, you feel the weight lift in prayer" — if it hasn't lifted, your posture isn't right.

So, so notice this.
And when he saw their faith,
he began by forgiving his sins.
Meaning when I position myself right, God will cleanse me first, before I even open my mouth to say, "Father, forgive me for everything I have done." The posture positions you to be forgiven.

Go and repent. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It means you don't know posture.
Thank you, Jesus.
It means you don't know posture. My Lord,
because if you know posture,
you know just the fact somebody has come to you and said, "Listen,
help me." That is already God forgiving them at that moment. Posture cleanses somebody of every iniquity because their faith in Christ, it begins by sins being taken away. house.
When Mary Magdalene came into the house where Jesus was, she threw herself at his feet and began to cry, kissing his feet, wiping his feet with her hair, the tears that were going on, taking oil, putting it on him, crying.
She didn't even know how to say, "I am sorry." She just wanted to love Jesus.
What did Jesus say? He looked at the Pharisee or whoever invited him to his house said, "Why are you thinking these thoughts in your mind? When I came in your house, you didn't kiss me. You didn't wash my feet. You didn't anoint me with oil. But since I came in, this woman has not stopped kissing my feet, loving on me." And Jesus says something very interesting.
He says, "By this great sign of love, it is evident her sins are forgiven.

Y'all are not getting it. I pray that you get it." Her love was evidence of forgiveness. Why? He who loves much has been forgiven. You see, many of you have been deceived by this unspiritual people that do love God, but they are not mature in the spirit. They think if you stand quoting scriptures showing how righteous you are, how you do this, how perfect you are, Bible like I never do this, I never do that. They have made you believe that that means they love God. No, it's not.
That's not the evidence of love. Posture is posture is how could David a man after God's heart mess up so much and God said this is my guy his posture it wasn't his deeds because David messed up a lot of times a lot of times according to men but to God loved his posture his tenderness towards God his ability to be corrected before God.
Those mattered to him. So what happened around him never changed him. He could get carried away.
If God speaks, he'll get back on track.
He who loves much is forgiven. If you want to know your walking in the consistent forgiveness, when I was growing up, my uncle Simon taught me this lesson. Then I didn't even understand much as much as I do now. And my uncle Simon told me this. He told me, "If you want to know that God has forgiven you, when you go before him in prayer, you will feel the weight of your error to be lifted."
You know, at that moment you are forgiven. Most people just think, you know, I repented, so um no. If the burden hasn't lifted, you have not even positioned yourself right for him to take it away.
It's about posture.
