Hearing God – using the gift of prophecy

Posted on by Laura Thomas

Hearing God – using the gift of prophecy

God speaks—but how well do we hear?

A team from Woodlands Church, Bristol (Woodies) will be joining us to provide training in the gift of prophecy, as described in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14. Together, we’ll explore how to recognise the voice of the Holy Spirit and practise listening to God.

This session is for everyone—whether you’re just beginning to explore the prophetic or have many years of experience. We can all grow in hearing God and discovering all that He wants to reveal to us.

The meeting will be held in Seminar Room 3 at St Michael’s Centre on Saturday 24 October, from 9:00am to 12:30pm, with a break halfway through for tea and coffee.

The event is free, but please sign up to reserve your place.
