In your pursuit of God, have you encountered disheartening mis-understanding, criticism, rejection, or even betrayal by others, even Christians or those close to you? If this is you, consider yourself earmarked by God for His purpose. Hidden under pressures of enemy assignments, God has been train-ing believers who will "overcome" judgment's influence and emerge in glorious victory. Understanding God's mercy in the midst of op-position and difficulty transforms trials into stepping stones of au-thority. We are then catapulted into God's divine destiny. The victim becomes victor as we press through the veil of judgment and appre-hend His heart of mercy. "Susan Rowe has blessed us with a wonderful new book. Before I read it, I had given very little thought to the mercy of God. Now I know that I was overlooking a fundamental principle of living the Christian life. When you read this book, you will connect with God's heart!" -C. Peter Wagner, Chancellor, Wagner Leadership Institute "Dr. Rowe has captured in this book the true call for intercession and the body of Christ. When Jesus, 'the Mercy Seat, ' ascended, his position as High Priest demands an earthly mercy seat, which is the heart of His people. It's from the issues of a compassionate heart, that God's purposes will be realized on earth." -Lila Terhune, Director, Brownsville Revival
