Choose Your Gates Wisely ✨🚪

By JK Woodall

Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." 📖

Every day, we face gates — choices that shape our future. Some gates look easy 🎭 but lead to disappointment. Others are narrow and tough but overflow with blessing 🌟.
I’ve walked through some wrong gates in my life, chasing what looked good on the surface. 🚶‍♂️ But every time I chose the narrow gate, God showed me His faithfulness. 🙌 Choose your gates wisely!

There is a Beautiful Gate prepared for you. 💖

Acts 3:2 (NKJV)
"And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful..." 🏛️

At the Beautiful Gate, a man who had been stuck for years was restored in a moment. ⏳➡️✨
If you keep trusting God, your Beautiful Gate moment is coming — a moment of healing, breakthrough, and joy! 🎉🙏

And remember this promise:

Matthew 16:18 (KJV)
"...the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." 🔥🚫

The gates of hell will not prevail against you, your family, or your future! 🛡️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Stand strong. Keep moving through God's gates. 🚀

In the Name of Jesus, Amen! ✝️🙌

Leviticus 8:14–36 (Part II) Study Notes

Title: Hashem Commanded by the Hand of Moshe
Scripture Focus: Leviticus 8:1–36
Teacher: JK Woodall
Bible Version: New King James Version (NKJV)

---

Part I: Introduction (Previously Covered)

Summary of ordination rituals: divine calling, cleansing 🧼, clothing 👕, and anointing 🕊️ of Aaron and his sons.

---

Part II: The Sacrifices of Ordination (Leviticus 8:14–30)

Leviticus 8:14–17 – The Sin Offering 😔🩸🔥

Teaching Note:

• 👐 The laying on of hands symbolized identification with the sacrifice — Aaron and his sons admitted their own need for cleansing.

• 🩸 Blood on the horns and altar base teaches that the foundation of ministry is atonement (Hebrews 9:22).

• 🔥 Burning the remains outside the camp points prophetically to Jesus' suffering outside the gate (Hebrews 13:12–13).

Reflection:
🙏 Have you acknowledged your personal need for atonement before stepping into service?

---

Leviticus 8:18–21 – The Burnt Offering 🔥👃🛐

Teaching Note:

• 🔥 This offering was completely consumed, representing full surrender and dedication to God.

• 💦 The washing of the entrails and legs reminds us that inner purity matters before we offer ourselves.

• 👃 The aroma pleased the Lord — God delights in whole-hearted service.

Insight:
💭 Are you offering your whole self to God, or are you holding back?

---

Leviticus 8:22–30 – The Ram of Consecration 🩸👂✋🦶

Teaching Note:

• 🩸 Blood on the ear, thumb, and big toe = total consecration: what we hear, what we do, and where we go must be sanctified.

• 🙌 The wave offering was a public act of devotion and thanksgiving.

• 👀 Ministry is not just about private holiness — it’s also about public surrender.

Spiritual Challenge:
👂✋🦶 Does your hearing, doing, and walking reflect your consecration to God?

---

Leviticus 8:31–36 – Completion of the Ordination 📜🔥🕊️

And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, "Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecration offerings, as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.' What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire. And you shall not go outside the door of the tabernacle of meeting for seven days, until the days of your consecration are ended. For seven days he shall consecrate you. As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded to do, to make atonement for you. Therefore you shall stay at the door of the tabernacle of meeting day and night for seven days, and keep the charge of the Lord, so that you may not die; for so I have been commanded." So Aaron and his sons did all the things that the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses.

Teaching Note:

• 🍽️ Eating the offering inside the sanctuary represents intimacy and communion with God.

• 🔥 Anything left over was burned — nothing in God's presence is wasted.

• ⏳ The seven-day waiting period symbolizes completion, discipline, and dedication.

• 🧎 Obedience was key — Aaron and his sons followed everything the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.

Challenge: Are you willing to wait, obey, and stay in His presence as part of your consecration?

---

🔑 Summary Points:

• ✝️ Atonement must come before authority.

• 💯 Total surrender is a sweet aroma to the Lord.

• 👂✋🦶 Consecration touches our senses, actions, and lifestyle.

• 🙏 Ordination involves sacrifice — ministry will cost you something.

• ⏱️ Completion takes time — patience and presence matter.

---

📝 Application Questions:

1. How are you practicing consecration in your daily life?

2. Is your service to God partial, or fully consumed like the burnt offering?

3. Does your public walk reflect your private calling?

4. Are you obeying God's instructions fully — or only partially?

---

🕊️ Closing Thought:

God doesn’t call us without cleansing us, nor send us without sanctifying us. The process of ordination reminds us that ministry is holy, visible, and costly — but also a beautiful aroma when fully surrendered to the Lord. 🙌🔥👑

Welcome to Your New Month of May 2025

Welcome to May 2025: A Season of Grace

By JK Woodall

As we enter into the fifth month of the year, we step into a divine rhythm—the number 5 biblically represents GRACE, God’s unmerited favor poured upon His people. May 2025 is not just another month; it is a season of grace, a time to receive what we didn’t earn, a time to walk in what we could never deserve on our own.

“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain...”

— 1 Corinthians 15:10, NKJV

This month, let us be reminded that grace is not a license to remain stagnant, but an empowerment to fulfill purpose. It is grace that saved us, grace that sustains us, and grace that will see us through the trials of life.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”

— Ephesians 2:8, NIV

When life feels heavy or uncertain, remember: His grace is sufficient.

“And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’”

— 2 Corinthians 12:9, NKJV

In May 2025, declare this over your life:

“I am walking in divine favor. I am standing in grace. I am empowered by His Spirit. This is my season of grace!”

Let this month be filled with grateful hearts, humble spirits, and open hands to receive all God has for us. You didn’t earn it. You can’t buy it. It’s simply grace.

Welcome to May—Your Season of Grace.

Which voice is yours? 🔥

By JK Woodall

We often read Luke 23:32-43 (KJV) and wonder, What did the thieves steal? But the real question is deeper: What has been stolen from us? 🤔

In Genesis 3:6-7 (KJV), Adam and Eve reached for what wasn’t theirs—they stole knowledge at the cost of life 🌳🍎. Their disobedience severed humanity from God, closing the gates to Eden and the Tree of Life 🌈🌿 (Genesis 3:22-24, KJV).

At Calvary, two thieves hang beside Jesus ✝️. One mocks Him (Luke 23:39, KJV), still blind to truth 👀❌. But the other sees clearly:
“We receive the due reward of our deeds... Lord, remember me.” (Luke 23:41-42, KJV) 🙏🏽
In that moment, Jesus restores what was lost in Eden:
“Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43, KJV) 🕊️🌅

Jesus, called the “last Adam” in 1 Corinthians 15:45 (KJV), came not just to forgive—but to restore what sin had stolen: our identity 🧬, our access 🔓, our eternity 🕰️.

So now…

Are you clinging to what sin has stolen—shame 😔, pride 😤, blame 🧱?
Or are you ready to surrender, like the repentant thief, and reclaim what Jesus offers: Paradise? 🌄👑

What was stolen in the Garden was restored on the Cross.
The first Adam took and lost.
The second Adam gave and redeemed 🙌🏽.

Today, you’re beside Jesus.
One thief stayed silent in pride.
One spoke in faith.

Resurrection Sunday Reflection

Resurrection Sunday Reflection

By Pastor JK Woodall
April 20, 2025
He Is Risen!

The tomb is empty! Death is defeated! Jesus is alive!

“He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
—Matthew 28:6 (NKJV)

On Resurrection Sunday, heaven declared victory. The grave lost its grip. Every promise of God was fulfilled in Christ’s triumph.

Because He lives, we have hope, freedom, and everlasting life.
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”
—John 11:25 (NKJV)

Celebrate today! Let resurrection power revive your spirit. What was dead is alive again!

Prayer:
Risen Savior, thank You for the cross and thank You for the empty tomb. I rejoice in Your victory. Let resurrection life fill my heart and guide my steps. Amen.
🌅✝️🎉
