 <\/p>\n

In the tenth message of the Fast of Daniel<\/a><\/span>, Bishop Macedo emphasized that many people desire a new life. However, not everyone is willing to make the necessary decisions<\/strong> to achieve it. Transformation, as promised by God, requires a change in attitude and actions, as well as the abandonment of everything that separates a person from His will.<\/big><\/div>\n

Renunciation Must Come Before Transformation<\/strong><\/h4>\n
A New Life Requires Leaving Behind Everything That Separates a Person From God<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Bishop Macedo<\/span><\/a><\/span> explained that God is ready to transform any life. However, this change depends on each person\u2019s decision<\/strong> to turn away from error and draw closer to God. He stated that renunciation must precede transformation.<\/p>\n

During the message, the bishop highlighted that it is insufficient to merely fast, pray, meditate on the Word of God, or dedicate oneself to the work of evangelism without a sincere commitment to abandon a life of sin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Anyone seeking a new life must leave behind<\/strong> everything that fuels sin and strengthens the influence of evil. After all, it is impossible to serve God and remain connected to sin simultaneously.

Remove What Contaminates Life<\/strong><\/h4>\n
True Deliverance Requires a Personal and Conscious Decision<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Bishop Macedo further explained that, to be freed from the influence of evil, a person needs to remove everything that belongs to spiritual darkness from their life. This is a personal decision that cannot be transferred to God<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If something contaminates the mind, weakens faith, or distances a person from communion with God, it is up to that person to remove that influence. This represents true deliverance: a total and conscious surrender to the Lord.

The Body as the Temple of God<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Daily Choices Reveal Whom a Person Truly Serves<\/strong><\/h5>\n

As stated in Romans 12:1<\/strong>, the body should be presented to God as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to Him. This surrender involves daily choices<\/strong> that reflect whom a person truly serves.<\/p>\n

According to the bishop, when a person keeps their conscience focused on God and seeks to obey His Word<\/strong>, they receive protection, guidance, and support from the Almighty.<\/p>\n

Conversely, those who allow themselves to be dominated by the desires of the flesh and their own will end up straying from God\u2019s purposes.

The Choice Between Spiritual Life and Death<\/strong><\/h4>\n
A New Life Begins With Complete Surrender to God\u2019s Will<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In concluding his message, the bishop emphasized that those who incline themselves toward the things of the Spirit<\/strong> find life, peace, and communion with God.<\/p>\n

In contrast, those who insist on following the desires of human nature walk toward spiritual death. Therefore, the new life that many seek begins when a person decides to renounce sin<\/strong> and live according to God\u2019s will<\/strong> completely.
