Leviticus 15: 1-18 Part I Bible Study

 

Unclean Standards (Part I)

Leviticus 15:1–18
Following God’s definition of what is unclean— not relying on our own understanding

📖 Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV)
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding.”

---

Introduction

Leviticus 15 teaches that holiness is defined by God, not by human reasoning or cultural comfort. These instructions were given to protect the sanctity of God’s presence among His people. Uncleanness was not sin in itself, but ignoring God’s standards was. God establishes boundaries so His people can dwell safely and reverently before Him.

Verse-by-Verse Study

---

Verses 1–2

📖 Leviticus 15:1–2 (NKJV)
“And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When any man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean.’”

Teaching Point:
God speaks clearly and directly. Uncleanness is defined by divine instruction, not personal intention. God’s holiness governs even physical matters.

---

Verse 3

📖 Leviticus 15:3 (NKJV)
“And this shall be his uncleanness in regard to his discharge—whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body is stopped up by his discharge, it is his uncleanness.”

Teaching Point:
Uncleanness is not dependent on appearance or severity. God’s standard applies whether it is visible or hidden.

📖 1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV)
“For the LORD does not see as man sees…”

---

Verses 4–6

📖 Leviticus 15:4–6 (NKJV)
“Every bed is unclean on which he who has the discharge lies, and everything on which he sits shall be unclean. Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. He who sits on anything on which he who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.”

Teaching Point:
Uncleanness transfers by contact. What we allow to rest upon us or influence us matters—spiritually and practically.

📖 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NKJV)
“Do not be deceived: ‘Evil company corrupts good habits.’”

---

Verse 7

📖 Leviticus 15:7 (NKJV)
“And whoever touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.”

Teaching Point:
God always provides a path of cleansing. Uncleanness is not permanent when obedience is followed.

📖 Isaiah 1:18 (NKJV)
“Though your sins are like scarlet… they shall be as white as snow.”

---

Verse 8

📖 Leviticus 15:8 (NKJV)
“If he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.”

Teaching Point:
Even indirect contact requires accountability. God’s holiness does not allow casual disregard.

---

Verses 9–10

📖 Leviticus 15:9–10 (NKJV)
“Any saddle on which he who has the discharge rides shall be unclean. Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until evening; he who carries any of those things shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.”

Teaching Point:
Uncleanness travels. Movement does not exempt responsibility.

---

Verses 11–12

📖 Leviticus 15:11–12 (NKJV)
“And whoever the one with the discharge touches, and has not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. The vessel of earth that he who has the discharge touches shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.”

Teaching Point:
Some vessels can be cleansed; others must be broken. Not everything can be reused—some things must be surrendered completely.

📖 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
“Old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

---

Verses 13–15

📖 Leviticus 15:13–15 (NKJV)
“And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe his body in running water; then he shall be clean. On the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and give them to the priest. Then the priest shall offer them, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering; so the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD because of his discharge.”

Teaching Point:
Cleansing involves time, obedience, and sacrifice. Restoration is intentional and reverent.

📖 Psalm 51:10 (NKJV)
“Create in me a clean heart, O God…”

---

Verses 16–18

📖 Leviticus 15:16–18 (NKJV)
“If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his body in water, and be unclean until evening. And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, it shall be washed with water, and be unclean until evening. Also, when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.”

Teaching Point:
Even lawful, natural acts required cleansing. God teaches accountability, not shame. Nothing is excluded from His order.

---

Key Takeaways

• God alone defines what is clean and unclean

• Obedience comes before understanding

• Uncleanness affects individuals and community

• God always provides a way back to cleanliness

📖 Leviticus 15:31 (NKJV)
“Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness…”

Closing Reflection

Where might we be redefining holiness instead of submitting to God’s standards?

Welcome to January 2026!

 Welcome to Your New Month — January 2026

Revival Family and Friends,

Welcome to January 2026—the first month of the year and the beginning of The Year of YHWH. January reminds us that God is the One—the First—who leads us throughout this entire year. As the Lord declared, “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14, NKJV), YHWH goes before us as our source, guide, and authority.

The Word says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End” (Revelation 1:8, NKJV). As the first month opens, we align ourselves with the One who leads from the front. Trust Him fully, for “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:6, NKJV).

Welcome to January. Welcome to The Year of YHWH—led by the One who is first.

Blessings,
JK Woodall
Senior Pastor, Revival Center Hesperia, California 🙏

Merry Christmas 🎄 2025!

 Christmas Message to the Revival Family

Beloved Revival Family,

As we celebrate Christmas, we joyfully remember that Jesus is the reason for the season. Christmas is not merely a date on the calendar or a tradition we observe—it is the divine moment when God stepped into humanity to redeem it. Heaven touched earth, and hope was wrapped in flesh.

The angel declared, “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11, NKJV). This child was not just a baby in a manger; He is the promised Savior, the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan. “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder” (Isaiah 9:6, NKJV).

Jesus came so that we might have life. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory” (John 1:14, NKJV). In Christ, we see God’s love made visible, His grace made accessible, and His truth made personal. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16, NKJV).

As you gather with family and loved ones, let your hearts remain centered on Him. May the peace of Christ rule in your homes and the joy of His salvation fill your lives.

From our Revival Center family to yours—Merry Christmas. Let us continue to live, love, and lead with Jesus at the center of all we do.

With love and joy in Christ,

Pastor JK Woodall

What Holds Jesus to the Post or the Cross?

 What Holds Jesus to the Post or the Cross?

By JK Woodall

When we read the story of Jesus’ suffering, it is easy to imagine that the ropes, the post, or the nails held Him in place. Roman soldiers tied victims to a scourging beam and nailed them to a cross, but Scripture makes it clear: nothing and no one held Jesus except His own willingness.

Jesus Himself declares, “No one takes my life from me, but I lay it down of my own accord” (John 10:18, NIV). The flogging, the wooden post, and the crucifixion were real, yet they did not overpower Him. He allowed them.

Even at His arrest, Jesus reminds Peter of His divine authority:

“Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and He will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53, NIV).

In other words, He was never helpless. Heaven stood ready.

The nails did not restrain the Creator. Instead, love did.

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8, NIV).

Jesus remained because His mission required it.

Prophecy also held Him. Isaiah foretold, “He was pierced for our transgressions… and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5, NIV). Jesus submitted to fulfill Scripture and rescue humanity.

On the Cross, Jesus did not lose power—He exercised it.

“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit” (Luke 23:46, NKJV).

Even His final breath was released by His choice.

So what held Jesus to the post or the Cross?

Not nails. Not soldiers. Not wood.

Love, obedience, and the eternal plan of salvation held Him there.

And because He willingly stayed, we are eternally free.

Church Hurt?

 Church Hurt? Time for Urgent Care

By JK Woodall

Jesus was clear about the purpose of His church: “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick” (Mark 2:17, NKJV). The church was never meant to be a showroom for the perfect, but an urgent care for the wounded.

When someone is physically injured, we don’t shame them for seeking help—we rush them to treatment. Yet when people are spiritually injured, especially by church hurt, they are often told to “pray it away” or “just forgive,” while the wound remains open. That is not healing.

Scripture reminds us that “a bruised reed He will not break” (Isaiah 42:3, NKJV). Jesus does not dismiss pain; He treats it. He binds wounds, restores dignity, and creates space for recovery (Psalm 147:3, NKJV).

If you are hurt, you are not weak—you are wounded. And wounds require care. Healing may involve stepping into a safer space, honest conversations, and time with the Great Physician.

The church is for the sick—but it must be a place where healing is truly safe 🙏 🙌
