The Ark Of the
Covenant. The Mercy Seat is the lid.
The Mercy Seat
was where the blood was sprinkled.
"for
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified
freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
whom God set forth as a propitiation by
His blood, through faith,
to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had
passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at
the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the
justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."
(NKJV Rom 3:23-26)
The
Greek word for Mercy Seat is 'hilasterion'. It is used here in Romans
3:25 where Paul says (literally) that God presented Christ as a
propitiation or 'mercy seat'.
This means that Jesus Christ is the mercy seat.

Testimony of Dr. Deborah A.
Harris. Th.D:
"On April 19, 2007 I
fell 10 ft. from a loading dock, breaking my right ankle,
tearing my right rotator cuff and breaking 2 bones in my lower spine.
Because of a misdiagnosis by the hospital, I walked on the broken
ankle for over 3 months. By the time they discovered it was broken, it
would have taken a great deal of surgery to fix it.
Due to the excruciating pain,
the doctor put me on 2
morphine patches, 4
morphine injections per day, neurontin 4 times per day and
valium to keep me from having hallucinations,
from the morphine. That was only the pain medication. Yet even
with all of that, I still
suffered a great deal of pain. I could not get up in the morning
without the injection, and I could not go to bed at night without the
injection, because the pain was too great.
At one of Andre's meetings, he
called out that someone was having pain in their foot and although I
claimed the healing, someone else walked up to the front of the room
before I did. Then when he called out the spinal problem, I went up and
was instantly healed.
The greatest part of the
miracle was that when I got up the next morning, I was already in the
bathroom before I realized that I had not even taken the morphine
injection, yet I had walked to the bathroom and that had not happened
in over a year.
ALL PRAISE,
HONOR AND GLORY TO THE GREAT GOD THAT WE SERVE AND WE THANK GOD FOR THE
OBEDIENCE OF HIS SERVANT."
The
Following Are Testimonies From A Fire and Ice Youth Conference
(First Time Decision) "God has finally shown me the true
meaning of being myself. I've met so many friends and Iʼm thankful for
that. Andre's speeches were genius. I realized that people here don't
really care about the outside. It's not about that. A lot of us may not
have anything in common but the one thing that I know, that
brought us all together today is the love we all share towards God. I
love you guys so much and I pray that next year we meet again in this
place where the people and the music, everything about this place has
opened my eyes and for that I'm grateful." Krisha 13
"This is the first time for me that I truly entered into God's
presence. It was very encouraging to me because I had started to feel
like God had abondoned me, but what He was telling me was that I need
to get more of Him and not be satisfied with where I was at." A.J.17
"I have never experienced crying for God. Several times during
worship, I was so overwhelmed by the music and God's presence that I
had to cry out for Him. I had a wonderful time getting drunk with the
Holy Spirit, and laughing for like over an hour, (though my stomach is
still sore!) I am very thankful to God for allowing us to be able to
experience His presence and Glory." Chloe 16
"During the first night, I thought I was seeing things when I looked up
at the ceiling and I saw a heavy mist filling the entire ceiling. I
asked oh=ers later and they saw it too. Praise God for His presence. I
do not really know what that was about but I know God's blessing was
definitely with us at the retreat." Tim 17
"I came to the retreat for the fun and the snow but I was not into God,
I saw myself as a total atheist. Now I know there is a God because he
showed up in such a powerful way. I felt so different, I went outside
by myself, layed down in the snow, and looked up and said God if you
are real show me. Just then, tiny lights began to circle around me,
came down, and hovered right over my face. I was so in awe I could not
move. God touched me with His love and I believe in Him." Tyler 14
"I was in the back trying to keep the flow of traffic of kids going in
and out of the service to a minimal, not to disrupt, when Andre looked
at me and said He saw an anointing coming on me right now and he began
praying for me. I went down on the floor immediately I fell in the
middle of the doorway, half my body in the chapel area and
half in the hallway. I was one of the directors of the camp so I could
not be on the floor. I had to get up and do my job, but I could not
move.
Each time I tried to get up, I felt something like a heavy coat being
laid on top of me. I thought the campers were taking advantage of me
and piling their coats on top of me for a joke, seeing that I couldn't
move. I then felt brushing over me, clothing like someone wearing a
long dress.
I thought who is letting these campers leave before the service is
over. Many times I felt the brushing of the clothes going in and out
and each time I tried to get up I felt another weight like a coat piled
on me and I couldn't move. I thought to myself I don't remember anyone
wearing long dresses in the camp.
As I struggled to get up it finally dawned on me - duh - this
is God.
So, I began to try to squeak out more 'Lord, More'. Later I asked and
Andre had had many altar calls from various words of knowledge and many
campers responded but no one was going in and out and no one
was putting their coats on me. I know that it was angels on assignment,
I'm just so thankful they used the doorway." Bernie 54
