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 Episode 23 Transcript

-

Good morning. It's time for another Daily Devotional with JK Woodall Ministries, as you know sometime in life, we see people and we get infatuated in their outward appearance. Because someone looks like, so and so they must be something. That's not necessarily the case. So this morning we're going to go to 1 Samuel 16 verse 7 .  Turn to verse 7; But the Lord said to Samuel do not consider his appearance or his height for I have rejected him the Lord does not look at things people. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 


Amen... God's not worried about what your outward appearance is like. How tall you are or how the looks that he gave you. He's not looking at the physical, in fact, some people do things but it’s not necessarily from their heart. People look at each other and get infatuated by the physical looks of each other but it doesn't necessarily speak to what's in that person's heart. So as you meditate this morning and you listen to the word of God. Let's ask God. To open and pour yourself into our hearts. 


Let's pray this morning, Heavenly Father... Glory…


Merciful God you are. We bless your Holy Name this morning. We are asking you to pour yourself into our hearts this morning…  When people see us, they are going to see you, when they hear  our voices today, they are going to hear your voice God. Open our hearts. Circumcise and make them new again. Lord bless our hearts, continue to give your Grace and your Mercy including all your love to us. God today, we want to do exactly what you have us to do. We want to make ourselves more like you today. Lord please Pour yourself into our hearts and transform us, Lord we want to be more like you… In the mighty name of Jesus Amen and Amen. 


So as you go out through your day today meditate on God's Word. Open your heart and have the Word pour transformational blessings though you to everyone that you see today.


Stay safe. Stay healthy and above all Stay Blessed from JK Woodall Ministries remember 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

 **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
