Vision Of Jesus Mercy Seat: I Was Touched By God

I sat with Jesus on His Mercy Seat in vision once. Profound.

I had always wanted to touch our Lord Jesus, just like the Apostle John did, and Jesus' other followers too.  John writes:  THE WORD THAT GIVES LIFE WAS FROM THE BEGINNING, AND THIS IS THE ONE OUR MESSAGE IS ABOUT.  OUR EARS HAVE HEARD, OUR OWN EYES HAVE SEEN, AND OUR HANDS TOUCHED THIS WORD. (1 Jn. 1:1 CEV)

Well, one day Jesus did even better than that for me.  He touched me; the touch of a Man, the touch of God.  These are the preceding circumstances:  I was devastated and heartbroken.  My husband had passed away.  I took a job working as a caregiver for a quadriplegic man in his home.  He became very abusive.  After 2 years of faithful service to him his abuse turned into unimaginable cruelty.  So I had to leave his employ.

The Touch From God

As I was worshiping in church one Sunday morning with my eyes closed I saw Jesus sitting on a low stone bench to my right in vision with my eyes closed.  He called me to Him.  The next thing I knew I was sitting beside Him. All He did was reach out and touch my right arm.  He was patting and stroking my arm; giving me the comfort,  and reassurance that only a Man can.  And, at the same time I felt, experienced His power flow into me.  Power only God can give.  Jesus mercy flowed into my physical body, my emotional being, my mental body, (soul and spirit).   Every nanoparticle of my being was flooded with God's mercy.  Jesus mercy filled me.  Then forgiveness came in.  I'd say 95% mercy and 5% forgiveness.  Jesus knew just what I needed, and how much.  Then He stopped.   I wanted more, but knew that was enough.  He knows what to give.  

When He finished, at that moment, my heart asked if that was His mercy seat.  I wanted to understand His other seats too.  But He didn't give me an answer.  The next thing I knew I was back in church singing to Him.  He made me happy.  He touched me, the touch of God, the touch of Man.  Since then I've come to know that was His mercy seat.  He gave me the mercy of sitting next to Him when I so desperately needed God.

SO WHENEVER WE ARE IN NEED, WE SHOULD COME BRAVELY BEFORE THE THRONE OF OUR MERCIFUL GOD.  THERE WE WILL BE TREATED WITH UNDESERVED KINDNESS, AND WE WILL FIND HELP. (Heb. 4:16 CEV)    SO LET'S WALK RIGHT UP TO HIM AND GET WHAT HE IS SO READY TO GIVE.  TAKE THE MERCY, ACCEPT THE HELP. (Heb. 4:16 MSG)

SO LET US KEEP ON COMING BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF GRACE, SO THAT WE MAY OBTAIN MERCY AND FIND GRACE TO HELP US IN OUR TIME OF NEED. (Heb. 4:16 ISV)
