Hearing God

In listening to an interview with Dallas Willard on my walk this morning he was talking about how does one know that God is speaking. He spoke about watching for the circumstances, paying attention to the Holy Spirit, and the guidance of scripture.
As I reflected upon these these things in the midst of this process I'm fairly certain that the circumstances are saying that it is time to move, time to make decisions and venture out into something new. I believe that together we have a fairly clear sense that scripture is telling us as a church to make and build up people who follow Jesus in all of their life and that we as individuals and as a church are to be about loving the people of our community (in all that that means) in ways that both meet and go beyond their basic needs.
What I'm concerned about is whether we are hearing the Holy Spirit in the same way. It could be that God is speaking different things to different people and that together they are all "right" or it could be that we have not yet developed the discipline of discernment to the point where consensus is truly possible.
Just some thoughts and ponderings.
