-By David & Linda Olsen

Jesus assured us that we are all born with a nature and capacity to hear God's voice. That's what He told His disciples when He compared them to sheep who can hear and follow a shepherd's voice (Jn 10). Why then is it so difficult? What keeps us from hearing? Within us conscious and unconscious barriers block our ability to hear God's voice. But these can be revealed and released.
