Thank you Ty, for stimulating our prefrontal cortex. I see the beginning of your 2nd book on "101". Consecration “the separation of oneself from things that are unclean, especially anything that would contaminate one’s relationship with a perfect God.” Consecration also carries the connotation of sanctification, holiness, or purity. I used to have a different set of thinking prior to meeting you. My "bail out" was the concept of "pre-tribulation". (With a paradigm shift ! !), We now continue to be closer to Him by being Holy and pray for "safety" for the "righteous"

You're welcome, and thank you for your thoughtful response. Your insights on consecration and its profound implications for our relationship with the divine resonate deeply. Indeed, the journey towards holiness involves a continual process of consecration, a deliberate separation from that which obscures our connection with the divine purity. This is where we find our "safety" and our "peace." Your mention of the "pre-tribulation" concept highlights the transformative power of paradigm shifts in our spiritual journey. As we embrace a deeper understanding of the Bible, in the case holiness and its role in drawing us nearer to God, we find ourselves anchored in a profound sense of purpose and alignment with His will. We are not looking for an "escape," but a "yeshua" (a salvation), in the here and now. One that centers our pursuit of holiness as a source of strength and illumination, guiding us through the challenges of life and whatever may come. Drawing us ever closer to the divine presence.

Today, may we honor him with our words, and our deeds, consecrating ourselves - presenting ourselves as living sacrifices - for HIs glory and honor.

May you be richly blessed today!
