Hearing from God. How?

To hear God's voice is so important and apparently, so simple!

There is not one person who couldn't profit from hearing from God. The worst of fights could be settled and transformed into peace with just one word from God. The biggest of worries could be lifted in a moment - when God speaks. The most horrible illnesses could be healed, the strongest desires could be stilled, the deepest of questions answered - when God speaks. Apparently God speaks all the time, and since Jesus said: "My sheep hear my voice" -- those who follow him, can hear him... just hear him. Period.

So much for the theory :-/

In "real life" It just sounds so different: If I talk to honest people, a lot of them are craving to hear from God, maybe for his guidance and for him to speak right into their situation, but can't hear anything.
Others seem to hear something all the time, but aren't sure if they can trust these impressions that they have. Again, others are afraid to hear from God, since it could get uncomfortable quite quickly. Let's not forget that some people have done horrendous acts, all the while being sure they were following the voice of God.
So hearing from God is simple? Are you kidding me?

That's exactly why this Sunday we've invited Dave and Kim Olson from Canada to talk about this: Hearing from God. How?
