The Thief, Accountability, and Abundant Life

  Title: Understanding John 10:10, Exodus 22, and the 8th Commandment In the Bible, several verses and teachings emphasize the importance of upholding God's commandments and living a righteous life. Among these are John 10:10, Exodus 22, and the 8th Commandment ("Thou shalt not steal"). Let's explore these passages and how they are connected to the concept of accountability and the promise of abundant life in Jesus. John 10:10 : This verse is part of a larger teaching where Jesus contrasts Himself as the Good Shepherd with the thief. Jesus says, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." Here, the thief can be interpreted as the enemy, including Satan, whose intentions are purely destructive and harmful. In contrast, Jesus brings life and abundance to those who follow Him. Exodus 22 : In this passage, God outlines laws for restitution and justice, including how to handle theft. A thief is held

Morning Devotionals with JK Woodall Ministries

-

Welcome back. Once again to JK Woodall Ministries morning devotionals? God is moving this morning. I felt something as I listened to gospel music, this morning on JK Woodall Ministries online radio station The Spirit Spoke to me. As I reflected and I saw that many of us are going through many things. 


Maybe lots of adversity... Remember it is only a season of adversity at the moment, and God has a word for you this morning. 


Let's get our Bibles out. Let's go to Jeremiah 17:7 through 8. Again, any version of the Bible that you have will work this morning? I'm in The New International Version (NIV) but you can use whatever version you have available. Turn to Jeremiah chapter 17 verses 7 through 8. But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord whose confidence is in him. They would be like a tree planted by the water. That sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when he comes its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit... Amen 


God never fails, so you will never fail. A Tree planted by the Living Water never fails to bear fruit. So you'll never fail no matter, which season you're in? It's a prosperous season for you. No matter what season you're  in, your leaves are always green. God has planted you next to Living Water. God's water... Please join me and let's Pray this Morning, and we want to thank Our God for planting us next to that Living Water. 


Heavenly Father… You're so kind to us. 


You're so gracious to us Lord, and we thank you. For breathing in our Direction and Planting us in the exact spot that gives us opportunity. Planting us in the exact location, that exact moment that allowed our lease to remain green and we are always going to bear fruit no matter what the adversity is or the situation we are up against. We thank you for that for you. Thank you for your Divine Wisdom. You are so gracious to us. You are so kind to us and we love you. Thank you Father. These are not things we pray in the mighty name of Jesus Amen and Amen. 


Take extra moments to hear the word of God and as you take these extra moments to hear the word of God, Meditate on throughout the day.  Let it go down in your soul. Let your spirit get activated, be confident and trust the Lord and be that tree planted by the water. So as we conclude our podcast and our blocks this morning from JK Woodall Ministries. We want to say to you stay safe, Stay healthy, above all Stay blessed. Remember that You Have the Power.

Embrace Freedom: Letting Go and Letting God

-
"A Call to Release the Past and Embrace God's Transforming Power" Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am writing this letter to each of you, my fellow followers of Christ, to encourage and remind you of the profound truth found in Psalms 46:10. In this beautiful verse, the Lord calls us to "רפה" (raphah) , which means to "be still" or "let go." It is a divine invitation to release the burdens, regrets, and sorrows of the past, allowing God to work mightily in our lives. As believers, we may carry the weight of our past mistakes, hurts, and failures, holding on to them tightly. Yet, the Lord calls us to "רפה" — to let go and surrender these burdens at His feet. When we release the grip on our past, we make space for God to manifest His redemptive power and grace in our lives. He longs to heal our wounds, restore our souls, and bring about a d

Experiencing God's Love

-
 **Weekly BBB: April 21 - April 27, 2024** **Weekly Theme:** Experiencing God's Love This week, let's reflect on the immense and unending love that God has for us, His people. God's love is not dependent on our performance; it is steadfast and unconditional. This love is the foundation of our faith and the source of our strength. 📖 **Key Scriptures:** - **John 3:16:** "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." - **Romans 8:38-39:** "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." 🙏 **Prayer Points:** - Pray for a deeper understanding of God's love in your life. - Ask the Holy Spirit to help you reflect this love to those around you. - Thank
