My Sunday school class wanted to produce another video to share with friends. They selected the topic of “Are you listening?”
Hear what they say about what is required of us to listen and hear what God has to say.
Hearing God speak to you

Too precious.
Thank you so much to three lovely young ladies! I can’t wait to share your message with my grandchildren here in the U.K and in France…they will love it!
So very sweet and right on message with those truths! Thanks, girls!
They are adorable! Thank you.
it’s such an inspiration to see pure and innocent
children so receptive to, and loving the truth that
will be with them always to guide them and bless them
and everyone. Thank you, Evan – really beautiful.
Jesus encourages us to be like little children, and here
we have a lovely example.
Dear Evan, thank you so much !!!! How blessed they are to have you for a teacher and how blessed you are to have them for students
” and a lttle child shall lead them”, such purity

Those darling girls truly inspired me to stop and really think about being quiet and calm and listening, being receptive, to what God has to say. I don’t do that enough.

Thank you Evan for YOUR receptivity to instill truth in such a creative and inspiring way. So precious!
Priceless. Thank you Dear Evan and Children. Blessings to you all. Much love.
Such a good reminder (and so lovingly expressed) that listening to God is an intentional activity. I loved the way your students demonstrated all the different ways to get close the door on self and hear the Spirit. Thank you all for producing this timeless, ageless message.
Your granddaughters are so so cute and I love their sweet videos!
Peace, Joy and Power… Thank you!
This video makes me feel like I’ve been hugged by God! 🙂
If you have trouble understanding the children’s accents, you can click on the CC button and get closed captioning. I watched it with close captioning and read the dialog to be sure I caught every word. Very well done I must say!!!
Evan has had a lot of posts recently about “spiritual sense” and that has alerted me to the fact that we can all be conscious of what God is communicating to us if we just shut out material sense testimony enough to be aware of God’s messages to us. In the biographies of Mrs. Eddy and the memoirs of people that knew her, I’ve noticed she expected students of Christian Science to rely on God for guidance versus relying on other human means. Below is an excerpt from We Knew Mary Baker Eddy where Joseph Mann explains that when he became superintendent of Pleasant View (Mrs. Eddy’s home/farm), she expected him to listen for God’s guidance rather than relying on Mrs. Eddy’s longtime assistance, Calvin Frye, to discover what he needed to know to manage the property. Mann had been operating a saloon before he found CS and therefore probably knew very little about farming. So Mrs. Eddy expected someone that knew nothing about running a farm to get all the knowledge they needed from God instead of from asking Mr. Frye. I’ve found other memoirs that indicate she expected her female staff to alter clothes for her without measuring her or doing a fitting first. This opened my eyes to what is possible if we are just willing to listen for God’s guidance.
Here again below is a few paragraphs from Joseph Mann’s account in the We Knew Mary Baker Eddy books, volume 2.
——————————————–
I entered upon my duties at Pleasant View as superintendent, a capacity of service which involved not only the care of the farm, the garden, the stable, the greenhouse, and the help needed in the care of these, but also the making of such improvements as Mrs. Eddy would outline from time to time.
Being a stranger in Concord and at Pleasant View, having just come out of the Field of Christian Science practice in Boston, I quite naturally felt at a loss as to just how best to begin in my new sphere of duties. I was sure of only one thing—that I had come to Pleasant View to help our beloved Leader in such ways as I might, to lighten her burden by being as selfless in serving her, as she, under God, was the unacknowledged faithful servant of the whole world.
Mrs. Eddy lovingly expressed to me her hope that I [would] look after everything about the place as if it were my own. I promptly assured her that I would be most glad to do so, and incidentally I remarked, “While I am getting acquainted with the requirements of my new calling, I shall feel free to ask Mr. Frye about matters not known to me.” But Mrs. Eddy immediately interposed, “No, dear, don’t ask Mr. Frye—ask God.”
Robert, I’ve been learning more about the importance of listening to God about everything and becoming more adept at doing so. Your reply above, along with Joseph Mann’s account and the girl’s video, has brought this all home for me.
In recent years, I’ve had several instances where I couldn’t remember how to do something I’d been doing automatically for decades. I’ve learned that if I stop trying to remember and instead quiet my mind, a new idea and a new way come to me that have, every time, been better than what I’d been doing before. Now I see that is what Mrs. Eddy was saying, quieting my mind was like the girls putting away their phones and laptops, or asking God instead of Mr. Frye, allowing God’s ideas to guide me.
Awesome! Thank you P for sharing how you’ve learned to listen to God with all of us!!! Very inspiring!
P’s comment inspired me to post this…
I didn’t have all of the preparatory classes in high school that other people had so when I went to college and took physics, I really struggled. But at some point I just reached out to God and guidance for how to work the complex physics problems came to me and I think I ended up passing the class with an A grade. Physics was the “weed out” class that caused a lot of Engineering majors to switch majors because they couldn’t do the physics problems. So I’ve always been grateful to have realized God was right there helping me, and if I would quiet my thought and listen, God would give me the guidance I needed. The one Mind knows all! The Lord is our Shepherd!
Your class is adorable, Evan, and look to be about the same age as my class of little girls here in Atlanta. Will share this video with them on Sunday…they’ll love it! Thanks you!
How very sweet are these little God one’s and such a precious teacher is teaching them so well. They already have such a distinct spiritual sense to know, how to listen to God’s thoughts! And I think it’s remarkable how good they understand the spiritual meaning of the Bible, that proves how well they understand the Bible verse, mentioned at the end of the very lovely video!
Thank you very much, dear Evan !!
I notice how much these sweet girls express spiritual maturity through your loving CS instructions. However, as we know and deeply acknowledge, CHRIST is our Teacher, and we express this wonderful CHRIST, the true idea of God.
I am so thankful for having learned this in CS!!
Thank you dear Evan,
What a beautiful gift you have given us today,

Thank you Narrell for the link to that very inspiring article about true listening to God’s thoughts, guidance, advices! Just try to hear God speaking to us is not enough; we must actively and devoted listen to Him without any diverse of mortel mind. Wow it’s worth reading this article!! ♡
I echo what you have written, Narrell -what a beautiful gift
[Evan] has given us today, through these childlike (truly) thoughts
And … likewise, your gift of this article, too.
I love, from the article, it states and isn’t this what we are all
trying to do? – “As we learn to silence the clamor of mortal thought,
as we endeavor to listen spiritually, we hear God’s voice more
constantly, for, in CS, we are proving that God is the Only Mind,
and that man, as God’s idea, is inseparable from Him.” … and
“If God is our one great interest, if we are centering our thought
and attention on Him, as the Only Mind, then His voice will ring
clearly to us above all else”.
… And as Mrs. Eddy writes in her dear poem/hymn:
“I will listen for Thy voice, Lest my footsteps stray;
I will follow and rejoice All the rugged way”.
Listening isn’t always easy, but it does bring it’s reward.
So cute, so precious! Thank you Evan and especially those dear ones!
Thanks to you and to your hard-working students for this beautiful video reminder that we are all innocent children of God! Today, I will listen! Great work girls!
Thankyou Dear Evan, this is so tender hearted for me . How precious this is how we need to become Childlike, Humble, the Child like thought, and listen. and Thankyou you all for your childlike inspiration , Love it . Love to all.
So inspiring reminder as we forget to listen to God in noise of mortal mind. Thanks Evan & dear little ones
Thanks Evan and girls – great job, and loved the message!
LOVE THIS
Thank you Evan. The girls are so sweet, dear, sincere and earnest in the spiritual message they are sharing with us. Please tell them how much we all enjoyed their video. My favorite part was when they took off their headphones and put down their tablets, demonstrating how to put all the mental noise aside and go “into thy closet” to be able to hear what God is saying to us.
