How exactly are we supposed to deal with Dad filters? I've long suspected I have some filters stunting my growth in ways I'm not entirely familiar with but I'm not sure about how to handle that. Are filters something along the lines of selective hearing or inaccurate perspectives where we literally just need to adjust our attitude? Or is it an actually spiritual issue that has to be prayed against?

I'm pretty sure I have the Dad Filter. Dad Filter book: www.fellowshipofthemartyrs.com/books/36-online-e-books/210-the-dad-filter-from-doug-perry

Are there issues with your earth dad that haven’t be dealt with or forgiven?

Yeah I believe that he will break it off however and whenever he sees fit. As far as my relationship with my dad goes I don't think I have any outstanding resentment or Unforgiveness towards him - at least not anything I'm consciously aware of. Personally I think my dad and I have been on fairly good terms lately although I never would describe our relationship as "close."

Well do you bring of this topic to see if you have a dad filter or to know if you need to work on a dad filter or something else that may be blocking you from hearing God (if you were seeking to hear his voice)?

No I'm pretty sure we all by default have dad filters that are affecting our walk in certain ways, so its not really a matter of knowing whether or not I have one. My question is how are we supposed to deal with a dad filter knowing that we have one. I think Larry's answer helped a bunch since its been a while since I've looked through the dad filter book.

Well some people have them off already. You should have known to already read the dad filter book if you were seeking diligently to hear God so obviously Larry’s answer would help.
