🔥 SHLISHI 28, 6027 AA 🔥 - SET APART OR SET ASIDE?

“A Chosen People Must Choose To Remain Chosen”

Shalom, scattered ones of Yisrael. Many today want the blessings of the covenant without the burden of distinction. But YHVH never called His people to blend in. He called them out — to stand out. To be set apart is not optional — it is identity. And identity must be guarded daily.

Vayiqra (Leviticus) 20:26 says, “And you shall be set-apart to Me, for I YHVH am set-apart — and I have separated you from the peoples to be Mine.” ➡️ If we lose our set-apartness, we risk losing our inheritance.

📜 MESSAGE

Set-apartness is more than moral living — it is spiritual alignment. YHVH did not redeem Yisrael from Mitsrayim (Egypt) so they could mimic the nations. He delivered them to establish a kingdom of priests — visibly different, spiritually distinct, and obedient to His Torah. Today, that call still stands. But many have confused grace with compromise and holiness with arrogance. As a result, the line has blurred — and the chosen have begun to blend.

This is a warning: if we cease to be set apart, we risk becoming set aside. YHVH does not change, and His covenant people are marked by obedience, reverence, and distinction. The garments we wear, the foods we eat, the words we speak, the feasts we keep — all declare who we serve. These are not outdated rituals. They are visible signs of invisible loyalty.

The nations are watching. So is the King. Let them see who we belong to — not just by what we say, but by how we live. We are not called to resemble Mitsrayim (Egypt). We are called to reflect Elohim.

🤲 PRAYER

Abba YHVH, strengthen our resolve to remain set apart. Let us not blend with the nations, nor bow to compromise. May our lives be marked by obedience, reverence, and purity. Help us to reflect You in all we do — and to walk boldly in the distinction You have called us to. Baruch YHVH! 🤲🏻

📣 REMINDER

The set-apart life is not always easy — but it is always worth it. Do not trade your distinction for acceptance. You were bought at a price to stand out. Remain chosen — by remaining faithful.
