In this compelling message, Pastor Les Cody explores what it truly means to connect with God through conversation, drawing from Exodus 3 and the story of Moses at the burning bush. He unpacks how conversation with God is not just speaking to Him, it is turning your attention toward Him, listening to what He says, and obeying quickly. Pastor Les challenges believers to stop siloing their relationship with God and to bring Him into every area of life.
Pastor Les reminds believers that God is not afraid of their real and raw conversations, whether those conversations include complaining, anger, sorrow, or doubt. He calls the church to bring their authentic selves before the Lord, because authenticity breaks the power of the enemy and turns the ordinary ground beneath their feet into holy ground.
This message challenges believers to recognize that spiritual maturity happens through conversation with God, because obedience is always decided in the secret place first. Just as the deliverance of Israel was not settled in Pharaoh's palace but in the wilderness conversation between Moses and God, what God wants to do through your life will be settled in the quiet place of honest, humble conversation with Him.
