God wants you to be holy, when you ask the Holy Spirit of God to enter your heart, your nature, being holy, enters your heart.
Many times in this race there are moments of doubt and despair, we do not know if we are going to reach the goal, the experience for someone who runs a marathon is so terribly demanding for the body, are forty-two kilometers that run between two hours and six to ten minutes, the whole body is in crisis, the feet seem to run on nails, the head hurts, everything inside them screams stop, stop, you're killing me I can not keep running, you're crazy stop.
The race is run with patience, comes from the Greek ukomone, which is under pressure, bear a weight, bear the pressure of something, if you run with patience you endure not to crack, not to throw you back. After the instants of that frightful crisis something happens that is a second air, which comes from where one does not know where and the headache is removed, from the feet, as if someone had given him wings or pushed him, and reaches the goal, but before there was a moment where everything told you the races are not for you, will there be someone here who is in crisis today?, are you about to throw in the towel and say no more?.
When we receive salvation as a gift from God we begin to live a new life in Christ, Corinthians so that now we are a new creature, old things have passed away. The first disciples persevered not only in the breaking of bread but also in doctrine, Jesus Christ is the true theology, when we know that we are new creatures, we receive the divine nature when we receive the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
Let us be doers of the Word of God, recording first of all that God speaks to you.

FIVE PRACTICAL POINT TO OBTAIN HOLINESS:
1 Separation: being set apart for God, separated from corruption and consecrated to God. God wants you to be holy, when you ask the Holy Spirit of God to enter your heart, your nature, being holy enters your heart, I received Jesus Christ at seventeen and had already lived things that contaminated, like television, where I received information different from what God wanted for me.
2 Position: God has made you holy through the Blood of Jesus Christ 1 Corinthians 2: 4, holiness is a position. We offend with our words and actions, we are not at a point where we are infallible, the only infallible is Jesus Christ the Son of God, Jesus Christ Man of a completely new nature, we can stumble and fall, in that fall there is a conflict, there is a level in we are under an expectation of condemnation, very few people fall into that despair because literally they are burned in hell, those who do become deeply grateful people, and the Lord saves them, the old things happened, the Lord It makes all new.
3 Process: Continuous growth and maturity, Colossians 21:23 urges you to remain firm in the faith, when I was seventeen I recently received Christ on a Wednesday night in a Bible study, an old man spoke of the book of Revelation, and At the end a person stood up who said there is someone who wants to give his heart to Jesus Christ, there was an anguish in me that suffocated me, I needed peace, and with faith I prayed to God who began to do the work of transformation, at the time I was frustrated and still had not broken with situations that deviated from what I wanted, fell to my knees crying and something beyond the feeling of frustration, were very deep tears was the same Spirit of God moaning inside me, demons came out of me, I was free of all, after that began a new stage in my life. There are times when there is liberation, we are a new creature, we begin to grow, what is precious when we are little has to grow.
4 Decision: The main battle is in the mind, 1 Peter 1: 13-15, Gird up the loins of our understanding, it is to hold our waist, thighs, belly, where is the seat of your strength, the part where they are your reproductive organs, where is your ability to give seeds. The phrase to gird the loins of the understanding, means to hold your mind, of your understanding, even if your mind wants to go away if it does not suit you anymore, holiness is a battle that you gain Philippians 4: 2 work in your salvation, get involved with those who are trying to reach the same place, to reach the same goal, work in the work, serve the growth of the kingdom of God.
5 Freedom: We have not reached perfection but we are going to God to seek grace to live in freedom, service is the main catalyst of holiness, if you want to be holy it will not happen if you are still sitting in the chair where you are. If you want to be holy, serve, get involved, participate, work in the Church, tell God to use us. Put hands to work, and tell God to use you.
