Introduction
Lifestyle is the way in which a person or a group of
people experience the world and, as a consequence, behave and
make choices.
When Jesus calls you, He calls you to change your lifestyle,
to broaden your vision, to change your culture.
God wants to have fellowship with you. ( Ps 14:2 )
God wants to be your friend. (Ps 27:14)
The word of God is the food for our souls, it is a way to

Most of the time we want to overcome sin simply
for our strength. What can go right for a small space of
time. To truly overcome the problematic areas of new lives
We need to establish a tripod (reading the word, prayer, and fasting).
Our flesh is weak and that is exactly why we should not fight for
our strengths. And yes, to ask the Holy Spirit of God to strengthen
our spirit so that we can submit our 'heart' (soul) and
body to the Will of God.
The word of God with lifestyle.

Sometimes they want to be alone. Alone to speak openly with each other.

Many times our prayers are monologues, we only speak to ourselves, few
sometimes we hear what God wants to say to us when it should be one
dialogue, open and sincere. Over time, we will learn to discern the
voice of God. But we will succeed from the day we
we venture into prayer.
3. Holiness as a new lifestyle.
God is holy. Leviticus 20:26
God does not relate to sin. We highlight this in James.
4:4.
It is in prayer, when we draw near to the presence of the Trinity of God,
that a part of us remains, we carry with us a part of the living God
What is holy. When we expose ourselves to God, we will never be the same again.
We become a reflection of the Holiness of God.
Holiness is the pinnacle of the transformation of our lifestyle.
Our way of speaking, acting, and thinking is a reflection of the environment that
we live. When we became friends with God we start every day
but in our view with Christ.
Holiness becomes a consequence of our communion (prayer)
and reading the Bible) with God.
4. The priesthood as a new lifestyle.
But you are the chosen generation, the royal priesthood, the holy nation, the people
acquired, so that you may proclaim the greatness of the one who called you from
"darkness into your marvelous light." (1 Peter 2: 9)
In the Old Testament, the priest had the role of ministering in the
presence of God. It was the priest who was to offer the offerings, guide the
people along the ways of God.
They had to be always consecrated and separated, so much so that God
separate the generation of Aaron for the office of the priesthood. (Ex 30:30)
The biblical definition of a priest is:
"An officer chosen, or a prince, enabled by God, to"
to draw closer to God to minister on behalf of the people. He is responsible for
to offer the sacrifices divinely ordained by God, to carry out the
different rites and ceremonies related to the worship of God, and for being a
mediator between God and man.
The priest had three primary functions, to minister in the sanctuary of
The living God teaches Leia to the people, and it was the priest who brought the requests.
to the people of God. The priest had an important role, it was he who spoke
directly with God, who provided the guidelines coming from the Lord Himself.
With the life of the Messiah, this role has become entirely ours. We were
called to be priests before the Most High.
This speaks to us about leading a life of dedication, of being the
home priest, like husbands and fathers, we are responsible for guiding our
family in the ways of the Lord. Teaching them the word of God.
Conclusion
And this is our lifestyle, we resemble Christ more each day, with
your teachings in a way that people can confuse us
with HIM. We need to resemble so much with, in such a strong way to
point of changing environments.
As of today, all areas of our lives begin to be
transformed, we become new creatures in Christ. We experience the
new birth. We must have our time alone with God, even
on our worst days, when our flesh is not willing to be with
God.
The life of reading the Bible, prayer, and holiness is daily. In I Peter
5:8 we see that our adversary wants to swallow us. Satan does not want

our opponent will try to take our focus to engulf us.
In James 4:2-3 we see that we do not obtain things for two reasons.
reasons:
You have nothing because you do not ask
2. 'You ask and do not receive because you ask with wrong motives'
We must be perseverant in prayer and in the reading of the word of God.
Ephesians 6:18 "with all prayer and supplication, praying at all times in the Spirit"
and for the same purpose, staying alert with all perseverance and supplication, for
All Saints
