Hearing God Class

How do we hear God’s voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What if what God says to us is not clear?

This class will utilize the teachings and book by the late Dallas Willard – the wonderful American philosopher, known for his writings on Christian spiritual formation. Includes weekly book discussion, listening to Dallas himself via video and practicing how to experience and hear God’s voice with more confidence.
He wrote:
“Hearing God? A daring idea, some would say—presumptuous and even dangerous. But
what if we are made for it? What if the human system will not function properly without
it? There are good reasons to think it will not.
Isn’t it more presumptuous and dangerous, in fact, to undertake human existence without
hearing God?”

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” – John 10:27

Being close to God means communicating with him, and this communication is a two-way street—telling him what is on our hearts in prayer and hearing and understanding what he is saying to us. It is this second half of our conversation with God that is so important but can also be so difficult. How can you be sure God is speaking to you? The key is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our Creator.
Hearing God is but one dimension of a richly interactive relationship, and obtaining guidance is but one facet of hearing God. This updated classic….provides rich spiritual insight into how we can hear God’s voice clearly and develop an intimate partnership with him in the work of his kingdom. The reader will learn
that divine guidance goes beyond the anxious, sometimes neurotic, quest for “what God wants me to do,” to having a critical role in my becoming a responsible co-laborer with Him, the kind of person He expects me to be. God is inviting us to reorganize our lives in a way that keeps us walking so closely with him that it becomes easy to know his mind and hear his voice.
