Spiritual
The Mandate of Mercy
By Timothy J. Marshall
In a world overflowing with offense, wounded hearts, and silent battles, The Mandate of Mercy offers a path back to spiritual wholeness, emotional freedom, and the gentle but unshakeable heart of God.
Drawing from raw personal experiences, biblical revelation, and the deep inner work of the Holy Ghost, Timothy J. Marshall guides readers into the healing power of mercy, God’s mercy toward us, and the mercy He requires us to extend toward others.
Through immersive storytelling and transformative teaching, Marshall reveals the difference between wounds and bruises, between walls and boundaries, between avoiding pain and allowing the Spirit to heal it. With pastoral clarity and prophetic insight, he uncovers the hidden weight of offense, the psychology of a bruised spirit, and the supernatural cycle of forgiveness that restores the soul.
Rooted in Micah 6:8, do justly, love mercy, walk humbly—this book uncovers the true anatomy of a clean heart. You will discover:
• Why mercy is not weakness but spiritual strength
• How forgiveness detoxes the soul and frees the mind
• Why unresolved offense blocks spiritual growth
• How to set healthy, godly boundaries without becoming bitter
• How God heals bruises before they become wounds
• Why mercy is not optional, but essential for every believer
The Mandate of Mercy is more than a teaching, it is an altar call for the heart. A roadmap for the bruised. A revival for the weary. And a powerful reminder that mercy is not just something God gives… it is something He requires.
Whether you are a pastor, leader, new believer, or someone carrying private hurts, this book will lead you into the healing, clarity, and spiritual alignment your heart has been longing for.
Mercy healed you. Mercy shaped you.
And now, mercy is calling you.
The heart of the matter is the matter of the heart. A clean heart, a right spirit, and a pure mind is the ultimate challenge to every Apostolic Christian. The insight presented in this book is like a perfect prescription from the Great Physician to accomplish what cannot be found in anything or anywhere except in Him alone. It’s practicality and application is produced by personal anguish, an observation of a worldwide ministry, heart rending intercessory prayer and endless research. What it took to produce this book, previously could not be purchased at a bookstore but now is available and accessible. As you ingest this knowledge and information, you will be convicted, healed, and delivered. Thank you Brother Marshall for helping us to acknowledge and understand our greatest source of frustration and ministry limitation. Thank you for a Holy Ghost chartered path to joy, peace, and unprecedented spiritual wholeness.
Bishop Wayne Huntley- The Temple of Pentecost Raleigh, North Carolina
I highly recommend this book, authored by a great and long time friend
Not because he’s a friend, but because “the heart matters” The world we live in mandates nothing and overlooks everything.
But the reality is, people are hurting everywhere, everyday And if let alone, the heart bleeds with offenses until it stops beating completely.
This book, will lead you to understand that pitfalls, disappointments, offenses, when left idle, they fester into fear and pain
But this book will direct you to correct those situations and cause the blood to start flowing freely again within the heart as His heart MANDATES!
Evangelist Gregory W. Randol
I have known Tim Marshall for over 20 years. In that time, I have watched him and Melanie go through and deal with some of life’s greatest disappointments, tragedies, and setbacks. Through it all, I have never seen them waver in their faith or calling, and I have also watched them bounce back with greater anointing, resilient strength, and abundant blessings. While reading through the book you are holding in your hand, I can tell you this manuscript is more than just Biblical wisdom with a catchy title. It is a testimony! Yes, a testimony that Tim has lived out to reveal to us all the truth that the mercy of our God will be extended to those who choose to be merciful.
