Christ Is Our Mercy Seat

Christ Is Our Mercy Seat

Psalm 91:1- He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

In the Old Testament, there was a place where God met with His people. In Exodus 25:22, God said, “And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony…” This place was above the mercy seat of the ark of the covenant, under the wings of the two cherubim. The psalmist calls it “the secret place of the Most High… under the shadow of the Almighty”.

The mercy seat covered the ark which contained the three emblems of man’s rebellion: the golden pot of manna — man’s rebellion against God’s provision, two tablets of stone on which God wrote the Ten Commandments — man’s rebellion against God’s standard, and Aaron’s rod — man’s rebellion against God’s authority. Once a year on the Day of Atonement, the high priest would sprinkle the blood of the sacrificed animal on the mercy seat and so make propitiation for the sins of Israel.

Today, it is not the blood of animals that makes propitiation for our sins, but the holy blood of the Son of God. (Romans 3:24–25) The word for “propitiation” in the original Greek text is hilasterion, which actually means “mercy seat”. So Christ is our mercy seat. His blood speaks for us and puts God on our side. God does not see our rebellion. He sees the blood of His Son and accepts us!

That is why we can come boldly to the secret place of the Most High, in Christ, and feel secure that we have every right to be in God’s presence. We can come boldly to Him to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

And because Christ, our mercy seat, covers us with His blood, we are under God’s protection. We are in the secret place of the Most High, abiding under the shadow of the Almighty. Here, no evil will befall us, nor will any plague come near our dwelling. (Psalm 91:9–10) In the secret place of the Most High, we are favored and kept safe from all harm!

Confession:
Because Christ, is my mercy seat, covers me with His blood, I’m under God’s protection and favor forever. Amen

    Psalm 91:1- He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

    I LOVE THESE SCRIPTURES.
    WHAT WAS IN THE SHADOW OF PETER THAT HEALED PEOPLE?

    Acts 5:15 – 16

    ESV – (15) So that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.
    (16) The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

    WE SHALL RECEIVE POWER.

    Now in Acts 1 v 8.
    [8] But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

    AS I AM READING THIS POWERFUL DEVOTIONAL ALL THESE WONDERFUL AND POWERFUL SCRIPTURES ARE DROPPING IN MY SPIRIT.

    AND THEY ARE LETTING ME KNOW THAT IT IS ALL THE POWER OF GOD’S MERCY.

    HE WAS IN OPERATION UNDER THE MERCY SEAT OF GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. BECAUSE AS WE DWELL UNDER HIS SHADOW, IT’S HIS MERCY THAT COVERS US.
    HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH

    PETER AND THE OTHER DISCIPLES RECEIVED THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AFTER THE BLOOD OF JESUS WAS SHED UPON THE CROSS.
    IT IS ONLY BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS WE ARE COVERED, PROTECTED, DELIVERED, SET FREE FROM ALL evil.

    GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER SEES THE BLOOD OF HIS SON AND ACCEPTS US!

    THAT IS WHY WE CAN COME BOLDLY TO THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH, IN CHRIST, AND FEEL SECURE THAT WE HAVE EVERY TIGHT TO BE IN GOD’s PRESENCE. WE CAN COME BOLDLY TO HIM TO OBTAIN MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED. (Hebrews 4:16).

    HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH.
