π Q & A: Leviticus 11
π Q & A: Leviticus 11 — Walking in Holiness
By JK Woodall
Q: What is Leviticus 11 mainly about?
A: Leviticus 11 gives God's instructions on clean and unclean animals πππ. But it's more than a food list—it's a call to holiness and living differently than the world π.
Q: Why does God care about what they eat?
A: Because even the small things matter to God. Obedience in daily choices π§ shapes our hearts ❤️ and keeps us aligned with His will. These laws helped keep His people both spiritually and physically healthy πͺ.
Q: Does this still apply to us today?
A: While we’re not bound by the Old Testament food laws π½, the principles remain—discernment, obedience, and honoring God π. It’s not just what we consume physically, but what we allow into our lives.
π Schedule Update:
Due to the upcoming holidays πΊπΈπ, Thursday night Bible Study will resume on July 10th.
Until then—have fun π, stay safe π‘️, and stay in the Word π!
π£ Declaration:
π₯ I am set apart for God.
✨ My choices reflect His holiness.
π€️ My path is ordered, and I walk in obedience.
π I live with purpose and power.
In Jesus’ name—Amen!
Let’s keep growing, family!

π« God Hates Division
π« God Hates Division
Proverbs 6:16, 19 (KJV):
"These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him... A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."
God hates when someone stirs up conflict among family or community.
"Sowing discord" means intentionally or carelessly causing division—whether through gossip, unforgiveness, or manipulation.
---
π Division Weakens a Family
Mark 3:24-25 (KJV):
"And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand."
Jesus taught that a divided house will fall.
Families are meant to stand together. Division makes us vulnerable to outside attacks (emotional, spiritual, or even generational).
---
π ️ We’re Called to Be Peacemakers
Matthew 5:9 (KJV):
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."
A true child of God brings peace, not division.
It’s a blessing to be the one who heals family rifts, forgives, and sets an example of unity.
---
𧬠Family Unity Reflects God’s Heart
Psalm 133:1 (KJV):
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!"
God delights in unity, especially in families and spiritual households.
Unity brings God’s blessing and presence.
---
π When You’ve Caused or Witnessed Division
If you've contributed to dissension in your family or are witnessing it:
Repent if needed (1 John 1:9).
Pray for healing and wisdom (James 1:5).
Seek reconciliation with humility (Romans 12:18).
---
✅ Bottom Line:
> The Bible makes it clear: Division destroys, but love, humility, and forgiveness build up. Families must be protected with grace and truth.
Kingdom Riches ≠ Earthly Riches
Kingdom Riches ≠ Earthly Riches
By JK Woodall
I’ve had moments in life when money was flowing, and other times when I had to pray over a tank of gas. But one thing I’ve learned—real riches don’t come from the bank, they come from God.
In Luke 16:19–31, Jesus tells the story of two men. One was wealthy, dressed in purple, and lived in luxury. The other was named Lazarus, a poor man covered in sores, who sat at the rich man’s gate just hoping for crumbs. Now this Lazarus isn’t the same one Jesus raised from the dead in John 11—this is a parable. But his name matters. Lazarus means “God has helped.” And God surely did.
When they both died, Lazarus was carried by angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man, however, ended up in torment—not because he was rich, but because he ignored those in need.
That story hits home. I’ve met people with little material wealth but overflowing faith, and I’ve seen folks with everything money could buy but nothing eternal to hold on to.
Paul writes, “Tell those who are rich… not to put their trust in wealth, but in God” (1 Timothy 6:17, NIV). And James reminds us that those the world calls poor, God calls “rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom” (James 2:5, ESV).
I remind myself daily: I’m a joint-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17), and my treasure is stored in heaven (Matthew 6:20).
Let’s not chase what fades. Let’s live for what lasts.
Because in God’s Kingdom, the richest person is the one who walks closely with Jesus.

Happy Father’s Day 2025!
Happy Father’s Day 2025
By JK Woodall, Senior Pastor, Revival Center, Hesperia, CA
To all fathers everywhere—Happy Father’s Day! Today, we celebrate the men God has called to be priests of their households, standing in the gap through prayer, wisdom, and godly leadership.
As spiritual leaders, your influence echoes in the hearts of your children and the foundation of your families.
“For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.” – Ephesians 5:23, ESV
God has entrusted you with a sacred calling—to cover your home in faith and truth. Like Joshua, may every father boldly declare:
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” – Joshua 24:15, KJV
Your prayers matter. Your presence matters. You are not just a provider—you are a protector, teacher, and shepherd of your home.
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6, KJV
Thank you for leading with love and faith. May God bless you richly today and always.
With honor and appreciation,
JK Woodall

⚠️ NextVerse Weekly Devotional π§±
π June 15 – 21, 2025
π§ Theme: “Millstone Warnings: Guarding the New in Faith”
✍️ By JK Woodall
---
π Devotional Thought
When Jesus spoke of “the little ones,” He wasn’t just talking about children. He was speaking to a deeper spiritual truth — those new in faith, those just learning to walk in trust, grace, and obedience. π£π
New believers are spiritually vulnerable, often full of questions, still shedding old habits, and discovering the voice of God. Jesus issues a stern warning: "If you cause one of these to stumble, it’s better to have a millstone tied around your neck and be cast into the sea." That’s not harsh — it’s holy protection. π₯π‘️
God’s heart fiercely defends those stepping into the light for the first time. This week, examine your example. Are your words lifting up or tearing down? Are your social posts and conversations helping others grow in faith or leaving them confused?
Let’s choose accountability, humility, and mentorship over carelessness. Let’s protect the spiritual steps of those just learning to walk. πΆ♂️π️
π Anchor Scripture
> “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
— Matthew 18:6 (NIV) πͺ¨π
π Supporting Scriptures
“We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.” — Romans 15:1 (NIV) πͺπ€
“Let us not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:32 (NIV) π«✝️
“Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.” — 1 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV) ⚠️
π️ Daily Reflections
Sunday: Reflect on your influence. New believers are watching and learning. π
Monday: Model humility and grace in your daily life. π€²
Tuesday: Be a mentor, not a misleader. π§
Wednesday: Watch your words — they carry weight. π£️πͺΆ
Thursday: Encourage someone new in Christ today. π©❤️
Friday: Pray for discernment in your example. π✨
Saturday: Protect and guide, like Christ does for you. π‘️π️
π Prayer
Lord,
Thank You for trusting me to walk beside those new to Your kingdom.
Help me to be a light, not a distraction.
May my words nurture and my actions build up.
Give me the wisdom to protect the vulnerable and the grace to walk humbly.
In Jesus’ name, Amen. ππ₯
Not Everything That’s Available Is Beneficial
π Message Title: Not Everything That’s Available Is Beneficial
✍️ By JK Woodall---
When I was younger in my faith walk, I believed that if something was available, it must have been approved by God. I remember accepting an opportunity that looked like a blessing—more money, a better title, and influence. But spiritually, it left me dry, distant, and distracted. I had access to more, but I had less peace.
The Apostle Paul reminds us:
> “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. —1 Corinthians 6:12 (NIV)
Just because it’s in reach doesn’t mean it’s aligned with God’s will. Some opportunities are tests of restraint, not rewards for ambition.
Adam and Eve had everything in Eden, but one tree was off-limits.
> “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it...” —Genesis 2:17 (KJV)
They had options—but they needed obedience more than access.
Today, we live in a world full of choices: relationships, careers, content, food, and influences. Yet not everything feeds your purpose. Some things fill your hands and empty your soul.
> “Everything is permissible,” but not everything builds up. —1 Corinthians 10:23 (CSB)
So we pray,
“Lord, help me choose not just what is available, but what is edifying.”---
✅ Takeaway:
You can have access and still be in error. Let the Spirit guide your choices—because availability is not the same as blessing.
π Walk in wisdom. Live by the Spirit. Choose what builds you in Christ.
