If we don't hear from God then the church will remain just the same.
eg Methodists hear from God at start but 150 years still the same
10 years ago 30,000 people groups had not heard the gospel, now it's down to 8,000 people groups. So probably another 10 years before Jesus comes again. We need to use that to rescue people but we won't do that at the current rate and certainly won't do it with more effort - but only by listening to God and being obedient. Hence, it is vital to hear from God.

People were coming to the church for prayer during the Pastor's conference. Peter was very gracious and asked me to join him.
First lady was brought by her Christian friend. She was from a Hindu background and had two tumours. Prayed for her and she felt the pain decrease - asked if she wanted to accept Jesus - she said she would if healed - but challenged her - and she accepted Jesus , the pain went and the tumours started decreasing.
Second lady had neck pain and a tunour on her front. God healed both.
Next lady had heart pain - but God broke my heart and I found myself praying that God would cut her off from a spirit of rejection. God is good. My faith has risen from its low this morning.

Peter's teaching:
Seek out those with maturity who are further along the path than you and imitate the,
However, look beyond the gifting and look at the character. Since in the long-term only those who carry the character of God will continue their ministry to the end.
Similarly, share those things that God has given you with those around.
Finally, when imitating be who you are - your unique character that God has given you.
