What God is Saying Through Prayer

I've just come from a thrilling Prayer & Praise meeting for the building project. What a joy to meet & pray with others. Someone read from Isaiah 44:

¹ “But now, listen to me, Jacob my servant, 

Israel my chosen one. 

² The Lord who made you and helps you says: 

Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant, 

O dear Israel,* my chosen one. 

³ For I will pour out water to quench your thirst 

and to irrigate your parched fields. 

And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants, 

and my blessing on your children. 

⁴ They will thrive like watered grass, 

like willows on a riverbank.

Another person shared a vision of a tall oak tree with acorns too high to reach. As people are stretching to try and pick them, God reaches out and bends the branch down so all who wish can freely partake of His supply.

Welcome to Concept Brief

Welcome to the 'Mt Albert Baptist Hub Building Project blog site', initiated so you can chat online about the 'Concept Brief' Booklet approved by that Church Board and released on Sunday 12th of February 2012 (you can watch the video at http://vimeo.com/mtalbertbaptist/vision-2012).
