Summary of "24º Congresso da UMADEBY 2024 3º DIA | PR. CLÁUDIO CALAIS"

The video is a sermon by Pastor Cláudio Calais at the 24th UMADEBY Congress 2024, focusing on the spiritual journey of Moses and the profound relationship between God and believers. Key lifestyle and spiritual insights include:

Spiritual Growth in Phases: Moses’ life is divided into three 40-year phases:
- Intellectual training in Egypt (body)
- Maturity in the desert (soul)
- Spiritual guidance toward Canaan (spirit)
This illustrates the balanced development of knowledge, maturity, and spirituality.
Encountering God’s Presence:
- Moses initially fears looking at God’s fire but later desires to see God’s glory despite the danger.
- God’s presence transforms ordinary places into holy ground; it is the presence, not the place, that sanctifies.
- Believers are encouraged to seek God’s presence actively, not just momentary spiritual “fire” but enduring intimacy and responsibility.
Authority and Intimacy:
- God uses Moses despite his limitations, valuing integrity and intimacy over mere ability or eloquence (e.g., Moses’ brother Aaron could speak better, but Moses had intimacy with God).
- Believers should not outsource their spiritual responsibilities; God calls each person personally.
Four Encounters on Mount Horeb (Oreb):
1. Fire of God’s presence (Exodus 3) – initial revelation, Moses afraid to look.
2. Vision of commitment – God gives Moses a project to execute.
3. Giving of the Law (Decalogue) – establishing limits and responsibility.
4. Intimacy with God – Moses asks to see God’s glory, learning about God’s nature and presence.
The Presence of God is:
- Indispensable: Essential for guidance and success; Moses refuses to lead without God’s presence.
- Irreplaceable: No angel or intermediary can substitute for God’s presence.
- Unbearable: Seeing God’s full glory would be fatal; God reveals only what Moses can endure.
- Impartable: Those who have God’s glory cannot hide it; believers are called to be filled and transformed by God’s presence.
Practical Spiritual Advice:
- Don’t fear seeking God’s presence; be willing to “pay the price” to see God’s glory.
- Understand that spiritual life includes both fire (passion) and responsibility (daily commitment and limits).
- God does not always give what we want but provides what we need.
- The presence of God sanctifies people and places, turning even former places of sin into worship centers.
- Walk with God’s presence, not just with followers or external support.
Encouragement to Believers:
- Embrace God’s presence as indispensable and irreplaceable in your life.
- Let God’s glory fill you fully, transforming you from head to toe.
- Avoid hypocrisy; live consistently with the spiritual commitment you make in worship settings.
