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").

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.

 Welcoming the Second Month: Embracing Unity in February 2024! 🌟  As we enter February, the second month of 2024, let's reflect on the significance of the number two in symbolizing unity and the formation of a whole. Just as two pieces come together to complete a puzzle, let us unite in our faith and purpose, finding strength and wholeness in our connection with the Lord. 📖 In Matthew 18:20, Jesus says, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." This verse reminds us that when we come together in unity, the presence of the Lord binds us as one, forming a complete and harmonious whole. As we journey through this month, may we seek opportunities to unite with others in love and faith, knowing that in our togetherness, we find fulfillment and completeness in Him. Amen 🙏 🙏  In HIS Service,  Jk. Woodall, Ph.D.  Senior Pastor,  Revival Center Hesperia California  #unity #Matthew1820 #Godlovesyou #february2024

No More Delays

Subject: Following the Guiding Star to Jesus Dear Beloved in Christ, Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In this sacred season celebrating the birth of our Savior, let us turn our hearts to the awe-inspiring journey of the Magi from the East—a narrative filled with purposeful seeking, divine guidance, and the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. In the Book of Daniel, we read of delays and spiritual warfare, where angelic messengers faced opposition. However, in the Gospel of Matthew, a profound shift occurs. No more delay. The Magi, wise and watchful, saw the star and actively sought the King of the Jews. **Daniel 10:12 (ESV):** "Then he said to me, 'Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.'" **Matthew 2:1-2 (NIV):** "After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King He
