Piecing together that which He has conceived...
“As a church God views us as pregnant - from the time of Woking Baptist Church He has been piecing together that which He has conceived in us and the day is coming when we will give birth.”
“The central focus of our lives must be Jesus, whatever we do in our day to day lives must be centred on Him and done for Him, our strength and our trust is to be in Him, cultivate a prayerful way of life.”
“Just as a pregnant woman is excited and expectant at the birth of her child, so we are to raise our expectation of what God may do among us. Just as the issue of water is a sign of imminent birth so I will pour out my Spirit on you as a church which will flow out to your town and to the nations. The birth process involves pain, so we will experience pain as God moves upon us.”
