Opening Scripture
“Then Moses said, ‘I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.’ So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ‘Moses, Moses!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’” —Exodus 3:3-4 (NKJV)
God Still Uses Burning Bushes
God is still calling. He is still placing moments in our lives that catch fire without burning up. Just like Moses, we each face moments that are meant to get our attention. It might not be a literal bush, but it could be a hardship, a breakthrough, or a quiet stirring in your spirit. The question is, will we turn aside and listen?
In this gathering, brothers shared testimonies of peace in busy seasons, answered prayers in times of need, and a strong sense that God is trying to speak through everyday events. These moments are no accident. They are divine appointments.
Faith in the Storm
“Peace, be still.” —Jesus (Mark 4:39)
Storms are not just disruptions. They reveal what we are really focused on. Are we watching the waves or the One who walks on water?
One brother reminded us that Jesus rebuked the wind, not just the waves. We often pray about the surface problems, but God is inviting us to pray deeper, to confront the real cause behind the chaos. Prayer and wisdom from God are key. The answer is not always to fix the problem, but to hear what God is doing through it.
Focus and Gratitude Unlock Peace
Gratitude is powerful. It doesn’t mean you ignore your struggles. It means you trust God in the middle of them. One man shared how focusing on God’s presence helped him stay at peace through his busy days. Another gave thanks for family health and God’s provision after his son lost a job.
Thankfulness is a choice. It helps us hear God’s voice more clearly. Gratitude trains our hearts to expect God’s goodness.
God Is Rebuilding Men
God is not just fixing things. He is rebuilding lives. The process starts with tearing down old ways of thinking: self-doubt, fear, and shame. God wants to rebuild us with identity, truth, and purpose.
This is not just personal healing. It is preparation for service. God is rebuilding men to help rebuild families, communities, and the world around them. But first, we must let Him work on us from the inside out.
Make Yourself Available
When God called Moses, Moses responded with, “Here I am.” That is all God needs. A willing heart. You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need to be available.
Prayer and fasting help us get ready. They help us stop and listen. They help us turn aside from distractions and focus on what really matters: God’s voice.
Final Prayer
Lord, thank You for calling us. Help us to recognize when You are speaking. Teach us to turn aside and say, “Here I am.” Tear down anything that blocks us from You, and rebuild us in truth and power. Help us walk in faith, stand in unity, and be available for Your purpose. In Jesus’ name, amen.
God is calling. Don’t miss the moment. Turn aside and say yes.
