Anaheim District --Thank you, John, for the day that you spent recently with the pastors of the Anaheim District. Your seminar on "Knowing the Voice of God" was a time of spiritual leaning for us all. I have receive many favorable comments from my pastors. The seminar was a personal blessing to me. I appreciated the sound Biblical foundations of your teaching, the scholarly research that you have done, and the personal experiences that you shared. May God’ continued blessing be with you and your ministry.
--Thomas L. Goble, District Superintendent
Los Angeles District --Please accept my thanks for the day you spent with some of our pastors here. I felt that it was well received... Your seminar was a big help to me personally. I was encouraged and helped by the in-depth study you have done of God’s Word relative to hearing God’s voice. The workbook gave me ongoing study material for preaching and personal use. May God continue to bless you and your ministry.
--Roger E. Bowman, Sr. District Superintendent
Ephrata, Washington Church of the Nazarene — Thank you for coming and conducting the "Intimacy With God" seminar. It is what God had planned for us...Many people were helped with the teaching on how to listen.
We need to make some decisions, as a church, on expansion. It was perfect for us to be exposed to this seminar because we are able to begin the process correctly by asking God what he wants us to do, not just asking what can we afford.
--Rev. Rodney Wikoff, Pastor
Grandview, Washington Church of the Nazarene —We rejoice in all that God accomplished during the "Hearing The Voice of God" conference with John David Hicks...The people who attended were challenged, stretched, and filled with hope and anticipation for what God was willing to accomplish in their own lives...We appreciated the humility of John David Hicks, his willingness to be a learner at the feet of Jesus and to pass some of that learning on to us.
--Rev. David Rodes, Pastor
Seattle, Washington, North Seattle -- We had a great revival/seminar with John David Hicks. The seminar on Intimacy and Hearing God’s Voice really helped our people to establish a better "Listening Room." The fruit of this week will be seen in the months and years to come. I would recommend this to any pastor who has a desire to help his people move from a monologue prayer time to a dialogue with God.
--Steve Rushing, Pastor
**Editor’s Note:
Hearing the Voice of God Seminar’ aim is to teach Christians how to hear God's voice and experience divine guidance. John outlines from the life of the apostles and prophets how to hear God's voice which helps us know God's ways and enter into a relationship of fellowship, rest, power and blessing. He shows the difference between knowing the works of God (about God), and the ways of God (knowing His Character). A workbook that is loaded with Scripture & practical applications is part of the seminar.
Dinuba, CA--The revival just finished, but lives are still being changed. What a privilege to have Rev. Hicks again in our church. His warmth and fresh approach touched our people where they live on a daily basis. As a church and pastor I highly recommend John David Hicks to churches of all sizes. His servant spirit, caring attitude, and most of all his reaching out to me as a pastor was well worth the week. John is very sensitive to God’s leading and the needs of congregation. My Church Board on Tuesday wanted be to schedule him again even though he has been with us twice already. This was my fifth meeting with Rev. Hicks and I will have him again soon.
The "Overcoming Life Seminar" approach he used with us has changed many of our leaders and their outlook on serving God. With the view of God’s grace, mercy, glory, authority, and power I as a pastor have seen more clearly God’s purposes and through this my personal life has been enlarged and deepen. To God be the glory forever and forever!!! --Ken Childress, senior pastor
Oregon City, OR--In November our men came home from men’s retreat with a clearer understanding of what it takes to be a "Mighty Man of God." The truths we learned from God’s word were life changing. John’s warm presentation and simple explanation of Biblical truth feeds the soul to full satisfaction.
In January, the Lord gave our congregation more than a new spiritual catharsis. The truth of God’s Word about the keys to victory in Christ through the Overcoming Life Seminar will bear fruit in our lives for the rest of the journey. Many have testified to the breaking down of walls in their spirit and in the transforming of attitudes toward God and others. Several have commented that in their years of experience with revivals and special services this set of meetings was the most practical and the most helpful for the long term. Praise the Lord for his faithfulness to us as we wait upon Him and prepare our hearts to receive His Word! --Chris May, senior pastor
Leavenworth, WA-- The seminar on the "Overcoming Life" was an awesome event for the spiritual life of our congregation. The subject matter covered would be excellent for all levels of spiritual maturity. It was like having a course on basic beliefs but with an evangelistic slant. It was extremely beneficial. --Jerry Warren, senior pastor
Silverton, OR--"The Overcoming Life" seminar given by Rev. John Hicks has been our best attended and supported meeting in our five and a half years at Silverton. The Sunday morning attendance set a new record for our church...The response each evening and since has been more than encouraging. We are looking for great day ahead because of the new truth gained and decisions made for God. --Rev. Marvin Newell, Pastor
Rogue River, OR-- Here at the Valley of the Rogue Chapel, John David Hicks was used by the Lord in Revival! Through his ministry, messages and the Holy Spirit we experience many victories. They ranged from healing of addictions, victory over bitterness, forgiveness for past sins, and a real empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Our church had been in a real spiritual battle and through the Spiritual Warfare Seminar on the "Overcoming Life" we saw many people get peace and love back into their hearts. Each service left you wanting more. It was a great pleasure to have our brother here for revival. --David McConnell, senior pastor/evangelist
