Mercy Seat Counsellor Training
The origin of the mercy seat can be found in the Bible. The mercy seat was a solid gold covering for the Ark of the Covenant, which moved with the Israelites as they journeyed to the promised land, Canaan (Exodus 25). The mercy seat symbolised the presence of God among them and it was the place where God met Moses and spoke to him. There can be as many reasons for using the mercy seat as there are human needs. Very often people use the mercy seat as a place where they seek healing. They may also use it as a place where they ask God for some special help.
