God wants to speak to us – it is such an essential part of building a relationship with Him.
We need to learn to hear His voice – not just for others, but for ourselves as well. It is not a question of whether God speaks or how much, but whether we recognise His way of speaking. In this series, Melanie du Toit presents a practical course on hearing God's voice for ourselves. She examines the topic through the lens of Scripture and provides exercises to better equip each saint to grow in hearing God for themselves.

04 Hearing God Through Leaders
How do we walk with our leaders as we hear the voice of God?
In this session, Melanie urges us to listen to the voice of the shepherds, to share with them and invite them to walk with us. She reminds us that we have only one Mediator, Jesus, but because our hearts can be deceitful, there is wisdom in the counsel of many. As we hear God for ourselves, good leaders will not make decisions for us, but will provide wise counsel and teach us to grow in following Jesus and cultivating our own relationship with Him.

12 Confirmation Through Circumstances
How does God speak to us and bring confirmation through the events of life?
In this session, Melanie explains how we can stop and ask God if He wants to reveal Himself through situations happening around us.

She cautions that circumstances should never speak louder than words, but that we must remain open to God speaking through them. Melanie then concludes by encouraging us to grow in hearing from God, to incline our ears, and always remember to pursue the Person of God above all else.
