“I NEED MERCY. WHERE CAN I FIND IT?” I think that’s the cry of us all. I need mercy, when I miss the mark. I need mercy when through an addiction, I sin, or when I feel resentment and don’t stop it immediately.

In our weak sinful fallen nature we can never have peace, victory, experience love, sense the presence of God, or be free from fear and oppression.
We can look to self-help techniques and they in the end are disappointing and produce more disillusionment.
READ: ARE YOU STRUGGLING SPIRITUALLY?
You say, “I am a Christian and I love God, but I need help. I need help right now. I’ve prayed about my situation and it hasn’t gotten any better.
I quote the Word, and make positive confessions and some things seem to get even worse (I think we can all relate to that), so God have mercy on us, all of us, precious Lord.
IF I NEED MERCY, AND I DO, WHERE DO I FIND IT?

(Heb. 4:15-16) “For we have not an high-priest which can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities (a double negative makes a positive), but was tempted in all points like as we are, ‘YET WITHOUT SIN’.”
Let me say that Jesus was tempted in all points like we are being tempted, except his temptations didn’t come through the weakness of a sinful fallen nature, because He had no sin in Him.

Most of our temptations are the result of lust, or anger, or bitterness, or jealousy WITHIN US, BUT JESUS HAD NONE OF THAT.
Nevertheless Satan tempted him with all of that, but because there were no hooks or handles of sin on his pure soul and spirit, Jesus could say, “The prince of this world comes but has nothing in me. He has no claim on Me, nothing he can use against Me.”

When in humble repentance through the blood of Jesus, and only through His blood can we approach that wonderful Throne in the heavens, called the ‘THRONE OF GRACE’.
READ: THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS
Oh praise the Lord for evermore. It is at the THRONE OF GRACE that we find mercy found nowhere else in all the universe.
What would we ever do without it. What hope would any of us have if we did not have a God of Mercy. (Check ‘Working With Angels’ on this site, 9/19/2019)
Through true repentance and a humble heart, we can come ‘BOLDLY’ or ‘CONFIDENTLY’ before this great majestic throne, and to the Almighty Father who sits on that throne, to grant unto us our request for mercy.
It is from this throne, the very center of all the universes of universes that He pours out his unlimited grace to help us in time of need.
With this knowledge and understanding, let us walk carefully in the Fear of the Lord, which is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death” (Prov 14:27). GOD BLESS AND GRANT EACH ONE OF YOU THE MERCY THAT YOU SEEK FROM HIM.
