I am so overwhelmed and overtaken by God’s grace and His goodness, especially through this latest Word journey. As I pondered the purpose of this journey, the Lord had already impressed upon me it was to encourage, and reach out to others and ourselves in our Christian walk, but above all to spread the GOOD NEWS that Jesus LIVES.
Yet, I felt there was un underlying message, I did not feel that the “message” or the “journey” had been completed. As I continued to meditate on God’s Word, there was a central underlying message in all of the Word messages, which is that “He (God, Jesus) is more than enough.”
As I reflect on the 22 Words….
He was more than enough for Jacob (O’rem), and for Jospeh (Vizier). He was more than enough for Job. He was more than enough for Naomi. All they had to do was hear, listen (Shema). The burden bearer (Vizier)and the third man (Shalish) the Holy Spirit had a voice within the inner court. The (Peh) voice of God was and is present, all we have to do is hear, listen (Shema).
The Old and New testaments speak to us of people in narrow places, with restrictions and limitations in their lives (Meitzar). These people overcame their constraints through the Love (Ahav) which God has toward us. In our journey it was clear that the Love (Ahav), the heart (Leb) of God was our cover (Anan) made present for us through Jesus, (Adam), who became the sacrificial lamb (Seh-ha), and it was through his affliction (mak’obah), that returning to God and repentance of our sins (Teshuvah) was accessible to us.
We who have received such a great gift, cannot hoard the message. We must share the truth that we have found to be true and central to our lives. Christ set the example (Chanan) that while we are yet on the path, our journey toward home (Derek), we can mark (Zakar) by telling others on the road, that Jesus bore the blame (Chata) and that in the midst of their trials and mountains in their paths (Har), there is help., there is relief.
If we lean forward (Tsaphah) we can find Love (Ahav) through the heart (Leb) of God, and His Son Jesus, (Adam), who is Alive (Chaim). He is on the throne. Hebrews 4:16 stirs within me, and reads: “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”

As I was about to conclude this writing. The Word throne just lights up for me, which means, that techincally I cannot finish the writing, so in considering the Word “throne” I find that the Old and New testament speak to us of kingdoms.
Internally, I connect the dots, throne means Kingdom, and a kingdom has to have a King, and a King has to have a Royal family. Revelations 1: 6 through 8 becomes relevant here. It is as follows:
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God (Leb)and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold (Shema), he cometh with clouds (Anan); and every eye shall see him (Tsaphah), and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail (Mak’obah) because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

This journey is best summarized using 2 Timothy 2:11-12 – (American Standard Version) 11 Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him: 12 if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us.
I am prompted to write: Yes, we who by grace have entered into the royal lineange, are invited to the Marriage of the Lamb. I implore you to make that final appointment. Upon writing this my mouth spurts out, Selah, Selah (which means meditate upon these things).
As I inquire of the Lord, if I have completed this journey, three things come alive in my spirit, which leave me amazed. One is a scripture verse,and the other two are Hebrew Words. Here are the Words Reference: http://strongsnumbers.com/hebrew/:
Strong 4427 – Malak {maw-lak’} A primitive root; to reign; inceptively to ascend the throne; causatively to induct into royalty; hence (by implication) to take counsel: – consult, indeed, be (make, set a, set up) king, be (make) queen, (begin to, make to) reign (-ing), rule, surely.
Strong 7121 Qara‘ {kaw-raw’} – A primitive root; to call out to (that is, properly address by name, but used in a wide variety of applications): – bewray [self], that are bidden, call (for, forth, self, upon), cry (unto), (be) famous, guest, invite, mention, (give) name, preach, (make) proclaim (-ation), pronounce, publish, read, renowned, say.
This is the verse: Revelation 19:9 – And he saith unto me, “Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”
Selah. I remain humbly yours, and thank you all for partaking in this Masei 22 Word journey. I leave you with these two very appropriate video song messages….
