Title: Inspection for Leprosy / The Issue (Part I)

Text: Leviticus 13:1–17 (NKJV)

By: Dr. JK Woodall

πŸ” Theme:


God provides a divine process for identifying, isolating, and addressing what is unclean — both physically and spiritually. Leprosy (Hebrew: tzara’at) symbolizes visible affliction but also points to inward spiritual disease that must be discerned and confronted.

---


πŸ“˜ Key Verses & Breakdown


🧾 Leviticus 13:1-2 (NKJV)


> And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: “When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot... like a leprous sore, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest...”


Observation: Only the priest could inspect and pronounce status — not the person.


Application: Sin may seem small, but God assigns spiritual authority to inspect whether it’s deeper than it looks.

🧐 Superficial doesn’t always mean simple.

---


πŸ§ͺ Leviticus 13:3 (NKJV)


> “…if the hair on the sore has turned white, and the sore appears to be deeper… it is a leprous sore.”


Spiritual Insight: The condition is diagnosed by its depth and discoloration — indicators of internal corruption.


Hebrew Word: Tzara’at (Χ¦ָΧ¨ַΧ’ַΧͺ) is not limited to physical illness — it's associated with pride, gossip, and rebellion.

---


⏱️ Leviticus 13:4–6 (NKJV)


> “…then the priest shall isolate the one who has the sore seven days…”


Note: Isolation here is not rejection — it’s space for discernment and healing.

⌛ Time reveals what’s truly within.

---


πŸ’” Leviticus 13:9–11 (NKJV)


> “…if it is indeed leprosy, he shall pronounce him unclean.”


Priestly Role: Not to condemn, but to discern and declare — much like today’s spiritual leaders.


Lesson: Recognition of the condition opens the door to restoration.

---


πŸ”₯ Leviticus 13:12–13 (NKJV)


> “…if the leprosy has covered all his body… the priest shall pronounce him clean…”


Paradox: Fully covered = clean?


Truth: When someone fully acknowledges their broken state, they’re ready for cleansing. Partial exposure = prolonged pain.

---


πŸ™Œ Leviticus 13:14–17 (NKJV)


> “…if the raw flesh changes and turns white again… the priest shall pronounce him clean.”


Symbolism: The return to white = repentance and restoration.

πŸ•Š️ There is always a path back when the infection is surrendered to God.

---


πŸ”Ÿ Jesus and the Ten Lepers – Luke 17:11–19 (NKJV)


> “Now as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers... And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned... and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks.”

(Luke 17:12,15–16 NKJV)


Connection to Leviticus 13: Jesus honors the law — He tells the ten to show themselves to the priests (v.14).


Only One Returns: The Samaritan, a foreigner, not only receives physical healing, but comes back in worship — receiving inner transformation.


> “And He said to him, ‘Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.’”

(Luke 17:19 NKJV)


Greek word used: Sozo (ΟƒαΏ΄ΞΆΟ‰) — not just healed but saved ✝️


Lesson: Nine received external cleansing. Only one received salvation, because he returned with gratitude.

---


🧎🏽‍♂️ Application & Reflection


Do I want to be just cleansed on the outside — or transformed inside out?


When God brings healing, do I return with thanks like the one leper? πŸ™Œ


Am I hiding spiritual infection under a clean appearance?

---


πŸ“œ Closing Thought


The issue isn’t just the condition — it’s the response. In Leviticus, priests inspected the outside; in the Gospels, Jesus healed the inside. Wholeness comes not only when the skin clears, but when the heart turns in worship.

Touchpoint

Touchpoint

By JK Woodall

We often identify people by their condition rather than their name. In Mark 5:25–34, the Bible doesn’t give us the woman’s name—we only know her as “the woman with the issue of blood.” Her identity was wrapped up in her affliction, not her potential, and certainly not her faith.

This woman had been bleeding continuously for twelve years. That’s twelve years of suffering. Twelve years of doctors. Twelve years of disappointment. And, according to the Law (see Leviticus 15:25–27, KJV), twelve years of being considered unclean.

"And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation... she shall be unclean." – Leviticus 15:25, KJV

Imagine the burden—not just physical, but emotional and spiritual. She couldn’t touch anyone. She couldn’t be touched. She was isolated, invisible, rejected. And yet, on one powerful day, she pressed through the crowd just to touch the edge of Jesus’ garment.

"If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole." – Mark 5:28, KJV

She didn’t cry out. She didn’t ask for attention. She reached. Quietly. Desperately. Faithfully.

But there’s something deeper happening here. Under the Law, anyone she touched became unclean. That means as she pressed through the crowd, person after person unknowingly became ceremonially defiled. Contamination moved outward like ripples in a pool. Yet, when she touched Jesus, everything reversed. Power didn’t leave her—it left Him.

"And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him..." – Mark 5:30, KJV

Instead of Jesus becoming unclean, she became whole.

And here's the revelation: when Jesus asked, “Who touched Me?” (Mark 5:31, NKJV), it wasn’t because He didn’t know—it was to stop the bleeding of her identity. He wasn’t just healing her body. He was restoring her dignity.

"Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction." – Mark 5:34, NKJV

Did you catch that? He called her Daughter.

Jesus renamed her. He gave her family. He gave her peace. And as He made her clean, everyone she had touched—who unknowingly became unclean—was covered by that same moment of divine reversal. True transformation isn’t just personal—it’s contagious.

The Bigger Picture

How many of us are walking around, not realizing we’re carrying something unclean? Maybe it’s bitterness. Maybe it’s shame. Maybe it’s pride or fear. Like those in the crowd, we’re bumping into things, unaware that what we carry—or what has touched us—is affecting others. But here’s the good news:

Jesus cleanses us—even when we don’t know we’re unclean.

True transformation begins at the moment of contact with Jesus. It’s not about being perfect before you approach Him. It's about reaching in faith, even if all you can manage is a touch.


πŸ“– Declaration

I declare that I am no longer defined by my issue.
I declare that even when I don’t realize what I carry, Jesus makes me clean.
I declare that transformation has reached not only me, but those connected to me.
I declare that I am called “Daughter” / “Son” by the Most High God.
I declare that healing, restoration, and identity are mine in Jesus’ name.

Leviticus 12 Bible Study Notes

 πŸ“– Leviticus 12 – “Born into Blood, Brought into Covenant”


Verse-by-Verse Bible Study Notes

✍️ By JK Woodall

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 12:1-2 (NKJV)


> “Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, saying: If a woman has conceived, and borne a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her customary impurity she shall be unclean.’”


"Conceived" – ΧͺַּΧ–ְΧ¨ִΧ™Χ’ַ (tazria) – from zara (Χ–ָΧ¨ַΧ’) = "to sow seed" 🌱


"Unclean" – טָמֵא (tamei) – ritual impurity, not sin 🚫


The woman is considered tamei due to blood loss in childbirth (symbolizing mortality).


7 days parallels the menstrual separation period (niddah) in Leviticus 15.


πŸ”Ž Spiritual Insight: Life enters through pain and blood, yet is part of God’s ordained plan. Even a natural and blessed act like childbirth brings ritual impurity, reminding us of our human frailty.

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 12:3 (NKJV)


> “And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.”


"Eighth day" = ✨ New beginnings (Χ©ְׁΧžΧ•ֹΧ ֶΧ” – shemonah)


"Circumcise" – ΧžΧ•ּל (mul) = covenant cutting ✂️


Connected to Genesis 17:12 – circumcision is the sign of the Abrahamic covenant.


πŸ”Ž Christ Connection:


> “When eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called JESUS…” — Luke 2:21 (NKJV)

➡️ Jesus fulfilled this Law perfectly, though He had no sin.


---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 12:4 (NKJV)


> “She shall then continue in the blood of her purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are fulfilled.”


“Blood of her purification” – Χ“ְּמֵΧ™ טָΧ”ֳΧ¨ָΧ” (d'mei taharah)


Dam (blood) + taharah (purity) = a sacred healing process πŸ©ΈπŸ•Š️


33 days + 7 days = 40 days = symbolic of testing, preparation (e.g. Noah’s flood, Jesus’ fast).


πŸ”Ž Application: Though not “unclean” anymore, she still waits. God shows us that cleansing is a process, not an instant event.

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 12:5 (NKJV)


> “But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her customary impurity, and she shall continue in the blood of her purification sixty-six days.”


Total: 80 days = 14 days + 66 days


Double the time for a girl: not punishment, but reflection on the doubled life-bearing potential of a female child (the next mother).


πŸ”Ž Spiritual Insight: God’s timing varies by purpose. The extended period may highlight the sacred future womb, echoing Eve, the mother of all living (Genesis 3:20).

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 12:6 (NKJV)


> “When the days of her purification are fulfilled, whether for a son or a daughter, she shall bring to the priest a lamb of the first year as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove as a sin offering, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting.”


Burnt Offering – Χ’ֹלָΧ” (olah) = full dedication πŸ”₯


Sin Offering – Χ—ַטָּאΧͺ (chatat) = purification offering


Two offerings: One expresses worship, the other cleansing.


πŸ”Ž Christ Connection:


> “...and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, ‘A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.’” — Luke 2:24 (NKJV)

➡️ Mary and Joseph fulfilled this after Jesus’ birth. Jesus entered our uncleanness to make us clean.

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 12:7 (NKJV)


> “Then he shall offer it before the LORD, and make atonement for her, and she shall be clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who has borne a male or a female.”


Atonement – Χ›ָּΧ€ַΧ¨ (kaphar) = to cover, reconcile πŸ™


The offering bridges the gap between impurity and God’s holiness.


πŸ”Ž Spiritual Parallel:

Jesus didn’t need atonement, yet He became the offering:


> “...He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us…” — 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV)

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 12:8 (NKJV)


> “And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she may bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons… So the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.”


God makes room for the poor: substitutionary grace is available to all πŸ’œ


Inclusivity in worship: The offering may differ, but the outcome is the same—purity and restoration.


πŸ”Ž Gospel Reflection:

Mary and Joseph brought the poor person’s offering.


> The Lamb of God was born into humility, yet would redeem the world.

---

πŸ“œ The Crown of Thorns and the Horn of Oil

 πŸ“œ The Crown of Thorns and the Horn of Oil

✍️ By JK Woodall

Did you know David was anointed three times before he ever wore a crown? πŸ‘‘ First, as a young shepherd πŸ‘ in secret, the prophet Samuel poured oil from a horn 🐏 and anointed him in the presence of his brothers (1 Samuel 16:13, KJV πŸ“–). The Spirit of the Lord came upon him from that day forward πŸ”₯, yet David did not immediately rise to kingship.

Later, David was anointed king over Judah πŸ›‘️ (2 Samuel 2:4, KJV πŸ“–), and finally over all Israel 🌍 (2 Samuel 5:3, KJV πŸ“–). Each anointing marked a greater step into his destiny 🚢‍♂️➡️πŸ‘‘. But these weren’t just moments in David’s life—they were shadows pointing to the greater King, Jesus Christ ✝️πŸ‘‘.

Jesus was also anointed multiple times πŸ™Œ. At the Jordan River 🌊, the heavens opened ☁️ and the Spirit descended like a dove πŸ•Š️, declaring Him the Son of God (Matthew 3:16-17, KJV πŸ“–). In Bethany, Mary anointed His feet πŸ‘£ with costly oil πŸ«™, preparing Him for burial (John 12:3-7, KJV πŸ“–). And then came the ultimate act—not with oil, but with thorns 🌿⚔️.

The crown of thorns pressed upon Jesus’ head 🩸 (Matthew 27:29, KJV πŸ“–) symbolized the curse of sin from Eden 🍎🌿 (Genesis 3:18, KJV πŸ“–). Yet Jesus, the sinless One πŸ™, bore that curse willingly ❤️. His suffering became our redemption ⛓️➡️πŸ•Š️.

David’s anointing came from a horn 🐏, signifying authority and calling πŸ“―. Jesus’ anointing led Him to the cross ✝️, where His throne was made of wood 🌳, and His crown was made of pain πŸ˜”. But from that sacrifice came everlasting victory πŸ•Š️πŸ‘‘πŸ”₯.

Now He wears many crowns πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘—crowns of glory and triumph (Revelation 19:12, KJV πŸ“–). The King who chose the thorns 🌿 will return in power πŸ’₯.


πŸ™ Prayer:
Lord Jesus ✝️, thank You for trading the crown of heaven πŸ‘‘ for a crown of thorns 🌿. Thank You for choosing suffering πŸ˜” so we could have salvation πŸ•Š️. Let us never forget the weight of Your sacrifice ❤️ and the power of Your resurrection πŸ”₯. Anoint us anew with Your Spirit πŸ•Š️ to walk boldly in Your calling 🚢‍♀️🚢‍♂️. In Your holy name we pray, Amen πŸ™.

Title: "Do Not Make Yourselves Unclean"
By JK Woodall


πŸ“œ Introduction:
This section continues the laws of clean and unclean animals, emphasizing personal responsibility for holiness. God’s instructions to Israel go beyond diet—they set apart His people to walk in obedience, purity, and spiritual awareness. Let’s go verse-by-verse and glean what the Lord reveals about our spiritual hygiene.


πŸ“š Verse-by-Verse Study (NKJV unless otherwise noted)


Leviticus 11:24
“By these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until evening.”
πŸ‘‰ Touching the carcass brings uncleanness—even without eating. Contact contaminates.
⚠️ Lesson: Be careful what you connect yourself to, spiritually and physically.


Leviticus 11:25
“Whoever carries part of the carcass of any of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.”
🧺 Washing is required. Cleanliness is both physical and symbolic of inner renewal.
πŸ”‘ Note: Unclean doesn’t always mean sinful—but it separates from holy activity.


Leviticus 11:26
“The carcass of any animal which divides the foot but is not cloven-hoofed or does not chew the cud is unclean to you. Everyone who touches it shall be unclean.”
πŸͺ God repeats the separation of animals that look acceptable but are not fully clean.
πŸ“Œ Application: Not all that appears holy is holy. Check alignment with God's Word.


Leviticus 11:27
“And whatever goes on its paws, among all kinds of animals that go on all fours, those are unclean to you. Whoever touches any such carcass shall be unclean until evening.”
🐾 Animals with paws—like lions or dogs—are unclean.
🧠 Reflection: Even powerful or loyal symbols in culture can be spiritually unclean.


Leviticus 11:28
“Whoever carries any such carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. It is unclean to you.”
🧼 Again, physical cleansing is necessary, reminding us of spiritual cleansing through Christ.
✝️ New Covenant Lens: Jesus cleanses deeper than the outer garment.


Leviticus 11:29–30
These verses list unclean creeping things:
πŸ¦‚ “The mole, the mouse, the large lizard... the gecko, monitor lizard, sand reptile, the chameleon.”
πŸ” Key Thought: Creeping things represent secret sins or things that “creep in.”
πŸ’‘ Application: Don't entertain what creeps into your life unseen.


Leviticus 11:31
“These are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.”
☠️ Death contaminates. Dead things represent separation from God.
πŸ”₯ Reminder: Avoid spiritually dead environments. Guard your walk.


Leviticus 11:32
“Any article on which any of them falls... becomes unclean, whether it is wood, clothing, skin, sack...”
πŸͺ΅ Impurity spreads.
πŸ’¬ Insight: What touches you can impact what surrounds you.


Leviticus 11:33–35
These verses describe how even vessels and food can become defiled by contact.
πŸ₯£ Application: Vessels (us!) must be kept holy. Contamination is easy, so separation is critical.
πŸ§‚ Word: Salt preserves. The Word of God preserves us from decay.


Leviticus 11:36–38
“A spring or cistern... shall be clean. But whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean.”
πŸ’§ Water symbolizes life. Living water is clean, but contact with the dead still brings uncleanness.
🌊 Application: Stay in living water (the Word, the Spirit) but beware of spiritual contamination.


Leviticus 11:39–40
“If any animal which you may eat dies... he who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes.”
⚖️ Righteousness Tip: Even acceptable things, when found in death, lead to uncleanness.


Leviticus 11:41–42
Creeping things that go on their belly or many legs are declared detestable.
πŸͺ±πŸ› Warning: This includes serpents and worms—symbols of deception and decay.
πŸ‘£ Walk uprightly—not as those who crawl in shadows.


Leviticus 11:43–44
“Do not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing... for I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves...”
πŸ‘‘ This is the climax—God calls us to holiness.
πŸ•Š️ Holy means set apart.
πŸ—£️ Decree: “Because I belong to the Lord, I will not make myself unclean. I choose holiness. πŸ™Œ”


Leviticus 11:45
“For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.”
πŸ“ Identity Reminder: He brought us out so we can stand out.


Leviticus 11:46–47
“This is the law... to distinguish between the unclean and the clean...”
πŸ” Final Thought: Discernment is key in spiritual living. God’s Word helps us distinguish.
🧭 Use His Word as your compass.


πŸ™ DECREE

I decree and declare that I will walk in spiritual discernment. I will not make myself unclean. I am set apart, holy, and washed in the Word. My body is a vessel for the Lord, and I choose to remain undefiled. I live according to His standard, and I reject all that defiles. In Jesus’ name, Amen. πŸ™ŒπŸ”₯πŸ•Š️πŸ‘‘πŸ“–πŸ’§

πŸ™ŒπŸ½ God Can Use Anything

By Pst. JK Woodall

Joseph was thrown into a dry cistern—abandoned by family, left for dead. But the very pit meant to bury him became the place God used to position him.

πŸ“– “So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe... and they took him and threw him into the cistern. The cistern was empty; there was no water in it.”
Genesis 37:23–24 (NIV)

From the cistern to Egypt… from slavery to the palace… from pain to provision.

πŸ“– “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
Genesis 50:20 (NIV)


🧴 The Oil of Gilead: Healing and Preservation

Even when the pit feels empty, God’s presence fills the gap.
πŸ“– “Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?”
Jeremiah 8:22 (NIV)

Just because the oil was in the area, it saved not just a life—but a generation.
Joseph was preserved so that the house of Israel would not perish in famine.

πŸ“– “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him...”
Romans 8:28 (NIV)


πŸ™ Declaration:

Lord, thank You for the oil in hard places. Thank You that Your purpose is greater than my pit. Use everything—my past, my pain—to heal and preserve generations.

Leviticus 11:1–23 Bible Study Notes

 πŸ„ Chewing on the Cud


Leviticus 11:1–23 Bible Study Notes

πŸ“ Revival Center, Hesperia, CA

✍️ By JK Woodall

---

πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:1 (KJV)


> “And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,”

πŸ‘‚ God initiates this chapter with a direct word. This is not hearsay — it’s divine instruction.

➡️ God is speaking. Are we listening? πŸ‘‚πŸ“–

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:2 (KJV)


> “Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.”

πŸ”Ž God begins setting dietary boundaries. Holiness is reflected in everyday choices, even food.

✅ Obedience in the small things leads to favor in the big things. πŸ₯£✨

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:3 (KJV)


> “Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.”

πŸ” Chewing the cud (Hebrew: ma'aleh gerah) is symbolic of meditation — bringing back the Word of God again and again.

πŸ“– Psalm 1:2 (KJV): “But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”

🧠 Let God’s Word ruminate in your soul like a cow chewing its cud. πŸ„πŸ’­πŸ™

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:4-6 (KJV)


> “Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel... the coney... and the hare...”

These animals do one but not both — they chew the cud but don’t have split hooves.

⚖️ Partial obedience = disobedience. πŸ›‘

God requires wholeness, not compromise. πŸ™Œ

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:7 (KJV)


> “And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.”

The pig looks clean on the outside but doesn’t chew the cud — no inner reflection.

⚠️ This is a warning against superficial holiness.

πŸ“– Matthew 23:27 (NLT): “You are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones...” πŸ–πŸš«

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:8 (KJV)


> “Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.”

➡️ Don't feed on what’s spiritually dirty.

πŸ‘ Guard your hands and your habits. Clean hands = clean heart. πŸ™…‍♂️πŸ™…‍♀️

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:9–10 (KJV)


> “These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters... fins and scales... but all without fins and scales... shall be an abomination...”

Fish with fins and scales = proper covering and direction. 🐟

⚠️ Those lacking spiritual armor or purpose are unfit for the journey.

πŸ“– Ephesians 6:11 (KJV): “Put on the whole armour of God...”

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:11–12 (KJV)


> “They shall be even an abomination unto you... ye shall not eat of their flesh...”

God is training Israel to hate what He hates.

πŸ’‘What you tolerate will eventually become what you consume. πŸ™…‍♂️🍽️

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:13–19 (KJV)


> “And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls... the eagle, ossifrage, osprey…”

These birds are predators and scavengers — they feed on death.

⚰️ Be careful of what you let into your spirit — not everything that flies is clean. πŸ¦…πŸš«

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:20 (KJV)


> “All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.”

Mixing of categories (flying yet crawling) causes spiritual confusion.

πŸ“– 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV): “God is not the author of confusion...”

πŸͺ°πŸ›‘ Watch for hybrid teachings and false gospels.

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:21–22 (KJV)


> “Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing… the locust... the bald locust… the beetle… the grasshopper.”

πŸ¦— Exception: These insects move with purpose and order.

πŸ“– Proverbs 30:27 (NIV): “Locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks.”

🚢🏽‍♂️➡️ Spiritual order = God’s favor.

---


πŸ”Ή Leviticus 11:23 (KJV)


> “But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.”

🚫 Final reminder: don’t settle for what feels right — eat what is clean and commanded.

πŸ“– Romans 12:2 (NLT): “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world…”

---


πŸ” Final Reflection: Chew on This


Are you just reading the Word or are you chewing the cud — meditating and digesting it over and over?


✅ Split hoof = walking right

✅ Chewing cud = thinking right


🧎🏽‍♀️ Holiness is not just about what you avoid — it's about how you walk and what you meditate on.

πŸ“– Psalm 119:15 (KJV): “I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.”

 ✨ Welcome to July 2025 — Your Month of Cleansing and Consecration πŸ’§πŸ”₯

Leviticus 14:7 (KJV):
"And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed... seven times, and shall pronounce him clean..."

Family — welcome to July, the 7th month, and we’re calling this one:
πŸ’¦ The Month of Cleansing and Consecration πŸ”₯

In Bible times, when someone needed a fresh start — like they had been through something unclean or messy — the priest would sprinkle them seven times and declare them clean. Not halfway clean. Not kinda clean. But completely reset — inside and out. πŸ™Œ

That’s what this month is all about.
✅ God is cleaning off what’s been holding you back.
✅ He’s breaking cycles, wiping out shame, and saying, “You're good. You’re Mine.”

But it’s not just about being clean — it’s about being set apart.
🎯 Consecrated means God’s putting His hand on you for something bigger. Something holy. Something with purpose.

So if you’ve been feeling stuck in sin, shame, or just straight-up tired — July is your reset.
πŸ” Fresh start.
πŸ’₯ Clean heart.
πŸ”₯ Real purpose.

Welcome to July — Your Month of Cleansing and Consecration.
Let God clean you up, set you apart, and use you like never before. You were made for more.
