‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice!’



We come here with a a clarification why we call this blog Mercy Season.

We are living in the season of mercy.  Arthur Burk (theSLG.com) describes this season of the church as follow:

"The greatest season of all; Intimacy with Father and the message of Father’s love will be predominate characteristic; people will smell the fragrance of Christ; those who
 get saved in this season will largely reject the religion of the Ruler Season; believers seeking intimacy with Father will find peace and rest which will crush chaos. God is redeeming the culture changing it to release the line between sacred and secular. Jesus will return!"


+ We are living in a time when the love of God is manifested in an unprecedented way. Christians are urged to show love share love and act in love! 
+ the church has the mandate to go to those peoples who where rejected by it. This implies a massive change of direction from inward focus to outward spread of love acceptance and patience for those rejected lost who accepted once God but departed from Him due to our unlovely treatment.
+ the chaos around us increases, then the mercy season includes the end time and the terrible events described in the book of the Revelation. However just in this season the peace of God His Shalom and the total submission to the Holy Spirit will keep us alive and will lead to our sanctification and clinging to Jesus until His retI'm urn!
+ the old way of doing church will be massively changed and shaken by God. The focus will be again on Jesus on Christlike character and in unity in Truth and in Spirit!
+ we are challenged to live and stand to our faith not only in the church among Christians but also in the secular world. It is time to penetrate and invade the secular world because they all need Jesus!

This is what Jesus declared in Matthew 9:12-13: „On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”“
So we are diligently called to show mercy to the others not only to the Christians but also to the Prechristians. More God is waiting to show us all mercy and He is rising up to show us compassion, for He is a just God!  Isaiah 30:18

Some Clarification Related to the Word Mercy 

We find the word mercy in the Bible in at least two flavors: a) as an attribute of God and b) as a redemptive gift as described in Romans 12:6-8.

Mercy is an attribute of God is described by Tozer as:  "an infinite and inexhaustible energy within the divine nature which disposes God to be actively compassionate." He says further: "God is merciful as well as just" and get in details by saying: "As judgment is God's justice confronting moral inequity, so mercy is the goodness of God confronting human suffering and guilt."

Mercy as a redemptive gift for people is described as follows: 

People with the redemptive gift of mercy sense when wounded and rejected people are in the room.. A high level of excellence and unmatched organizational skills are present by these people. They are designed by God for intimacy, which trancends to the physical.. People of that sort have easy access to the presence of God. Worship is free money for the Mercy. Men and women with this gift know the heart of God and have difficulty explaining the why: they just "know". Humans with the gift of Mercy are drawn into spiritual warfare by their love for others to end the suffering being caused by the demonic abuse.

Suffering is Sometimes Valueable Than Gold

 God do not take any short cut if achieving something in our character will need suffering. Jesus did not take any shortcut in going to the cross for all of us. How much less is our sacrifice of suffering, if through it, God will polish a facette of our character, making it more lightful. God does not love making us suffering, yet in His wisdom He uses it to get us purer than through other painless approaches. It is worth to suffer, if our character will become through it more alike to the one of Jesus. Suffering is sometimes valuable than Gold .  “The human spirit will not even begin to try to surrender self-will as long as all seems to be well with it. Now error and sin both have this property, that the deeper they are the less their victim suspects their existence; they are masked evil. Pain is unmasked, unmistakable evil; every man knows that something is wrong when he is being hurt.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain Prayer :  Lord help me to suffer well and not dete...

"For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come"

 In my walking with God I had the privilege and mandate to serve in several countries. Some Christians emphasized, that their native culture has preeminence in their life. I pleaded to put our citizenship in the Kingdom of God first, above the cultural values of the society we live in.  God's Kingdom and His principles, statutes and values should superseed anything in the culture we live in. The grid of Kingdom’ values is the litmus test for everything we are thinking and acting.  For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Hebrew 13:34

"Do not forsake the works of Your hands"

"The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands." Psalm 138:8  /// SELAH /// I percieve part of the Body of CHRIST and myself like one of this buds, fragile yet full of hope and confidence. HIS Hand will protect us and pollinate the new works HE prepared for us.  HIS lovingkindness, GOD's love for HIS covenant people (CHESED in Hebrew) is carresing, comforting and cosseting us! YOUR lovingkindness O LORD, is everlasting! /// SELAH /// "Hashem will fulfill that which concerneth me;  Thy chesed, O Hashem, endureth l’olam;  forsake not the works of Thine own yadayim!" Psalm 138:8 from the Orthodox Jewish Bible
