Beholding God's Mercy
This morning God gave me a revelation about Himself that is absolutely worshipful. In Exodus 25:17-20 it says, "You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth. (J.H.- one cubit equals approx 18 in.) And you shall make two cherubim (i.e. angels who worship and praise God) of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. 20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be."
The Strong's Lexicon says this about the mercy seat: "The mercy seat is the golden plate of propitiation on which the High Priest sprinkled the seat 7 times on the Day of Atonement symbolically reconciling Jehovah and His chosen people." The mercy seat was a symbol of reconciliation between God and man. Man needed mercy from a holy, righteous God because of his sin. And God, in His grace, gave mercy.
Beloved, we no longer need a symbol because we now have a Savior. Jesus Christ is our mercy seat who covers us with His sinless blood, giving us PERFECT reconciliation with God. And now we can joyfully embrace the precious promise of Hebrews 4:16; "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Now that you have this revelation God desires a response from you. V.20 says that the Cherubim have "their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be." Why are they facing toward the mercy seat? Because as they behold God's indescribable mercy they're filled with overflowing worship and awe. A revelation of mercy will always result in a heart filled with reverent worship. Oh, to the praise of His glorious grace!
If you have repented of your sin and put your faith in Jesus Christ, you now have perfect peace with God. Through Jesus Christ you can enter the holy of holies, the inner place of intimacy with God. Go boldly and worshipfully to the throne of grace today, knowing that you have a Savior who is "seated at the right hand of the throne of God" (Heb. 12:2).

China and Russia put the blame on some screwed up experiments of US for the earthquake that happened in Haiti.
Chinese and Russian Military scientists, these reports say, are concurring with Canadian researcher, and former Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief of Forbes Magazine, Benjamin Fulford, who in a very disturbing video released from his Japanese offices to the American public, details how the United States attacked China by the firing of a 90 Million Volt Shockwave from the Americans High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facilities in Alaska
If we can recollect a previous news when US blamed Russia for the earthquake in Georgio. What do you guys think? Is it really possible to create an earthquake by humans?
I came across this [url=http://universalages.com/hot-news/what-happened-in-haiti-is-it-related-to-haarp/]article about Haiti Earthquake[/url] in some blog it seems very interesting, but conspiracy theories have always been there.

Online guitar lessons are a great way to learn guitar. Cheaper and more convenient than private studio lessons, the technology is now at a point where the difference in quality is nonexistent and actually has many advantages.

This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on www.blogger.com. I decided to find a good manufacturer of e-cigarettes. I'm done with paying so much for tobacco cigarettes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers quality Electronic cigarettes with spendable cartridges that produce the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a collection of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented product offers convenience and exhibit performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety."
I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

I just discovered [url=http://bit.ly/bMGrYw]SatelliteTV[/url] on my PC! Ultra cheap at only $50 once off to get the software and an account on the Internet. I get more channels(in HD I might ad) than I get on cable so tomorrow I reckon I'm going to cancel my cable subscription. Thought I'd share this with you guys, worth to check out.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.
