I fill the need to live a more disciple-like life, and so I would say three words of this godly living, which I so desire:
Ascetic: I will stay away from worldy pleasures and avoid all pleasures which will put love of something other then The Lord God before the Lord God, as I shall not have an god or idol before God (money and things in the world will not be paid any attension too). I will only be happy, joyful and seek great pleasure in the Lord God, Yeshua and the Word of God.
Celibate: I will stay away and flee from worldly women,I will send away temptations of the flesh and throw worldy women into the bin (by this I really mean that I will combat the natural urges and needs of the flesh).
Moderate: I will be fair in life, spend as little as possible on worldy things and devote most of my money to spiritual things, living a modest life, purity will be formost.
I think that God is all understanding, but can you give your personal opinion please?
Seeker of God Most High.

Of course God will understand. In fact, I think that by doing what you say, you are very much following Christ's teachings.

If this is the path that you feel will make you happy, go for it.
Personally, I feel that if a god exists, he would have no interest in your being ascetic and celibate, and I can't imagine why any deity worth following would even want to be idolized. However, it's your life, and your choice.

God is all and more than you can think of. I am interested in your goals because with celibacy and ascetism you strive for something not available in normal society.
A modest life is at least good for the environment and it can benefit others. This goal is obvious, so this I understand.

Sounds great. Such a calling is traditionally highly regarded in the Catholic Church.

Why would He care if you choose to live like a hermit? It is your life, of course, but how boring can you be?

Your choice is an honorable one.

If only all other believers would follow your way... there will be more peace...
Keep it up!
