In God’s plan, preachers are indispensable. They proclaim the good news of salvation by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. To understand why preachers are necessary, we must understand the nature of the gospel. Paul explains this in Romans.

Because everyone sins (Romans 3:23) everyone needs God’s grace.
Paul said about certain Jews: “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God”(Romans 10:3).

We must submit to God’s righteousness to be saved. This requires obedience. Paul says in verse 16: “But they have not all obeyed the gospel.”

Because of our sin, we can never establish our own righteousness, but we can be obedient. We must obey the gospel. Being obedient is not the same as being without sin. Someone who is obedient strives to do the will of God. Although no children are perfect, some are obedient.

“The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). God’s Son was sent as Savior for those who have an obedient faith: “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, ‘The man who does those things shall live by them.’ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, ‘Do not say in your heart, “Who will ascend into heaven?” ’ (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, ‘ “Who will descend into the abyss?” ’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, ‘Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ ”

Christ is the end of the law because He offers righteousness from God that depends on obedient faith rather than perfect law-keeping. In chapter 8 Paul explained: “For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit” (Romans 8:3, 4).

When Christ died on the cross He paid the price for sin. This enables God to forgive sinners without overlooking sin. Christ met the requirement of the law in our stead. Because of this grace, perfect law-keeping is no longer required. Those who have an obedient faith, who confess their faith and call on the name of the Lord can be saved.
This good news must be preached! “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!’ ” (Romans 10:14, 15). “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).

Before people can be saved, the good news of salvation by grace must be preached. The one who hears must believe with his heart and confess with his mouth that Jesus is the Christ.

After the resurrection, before ascending to the Father, Jesus commanded His followers to preach the good news to everyone in the whole world. “And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. Then He said to them, ‘Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem’ ” (Luke 24:45-47).

When Jesus appeared to the eleven as they sat at table, He told them: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16:15, 16).

Before He ascended to the Father, He said to them: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20).

Joel prophesied that after God poured out His Spirit, “Whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved” (Joel 2:32). On the Day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit was pour out (Acts 2:1-4) and Peter preached the good news “That whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved” (Acts 2:21).

How were his hearers to call on the name of the Lord? They were told: “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38). Later, after Saul of Tarsus believed and repented, he heard from the preacher sent to him: “And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord” (Acts 22:16).

Thus “calling on the name of the Lord” requires that the gospel be preached, that the hearers believe it, repent, confess their faith and be baptized for the forgiveness of their sins.

Paul was so thankful for God’s grace that he preached the gospel the rest of his life.

We need grateful men today who will dedicate the rest of their lives to preaching the gospel.

As Paul explains: “ ‘Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:13, 14).

Prayer for Victory!!

God’s Warrior Prayer For Victory

Gracious God, I acknowledge that You are worthy of all honor, glory and praise. I am thankful for the victorious work of Your Son, Jesus Christ at Calvary for me. I appropriate His victory for myself now as I willingly surrender every area of my life to Your will. Thank you for the forgiveness and righteousness that has been given to me as Your adopted child. I trust in Your protection and provision daily. I know that your love for me never ceases. I rejoice in Your victory, my Lord. In faith I stand and I commit myself to live obediently for You my King. I desire that my fellowship with You become greater. Reveal to me those things that grieve You and enables the enemy to secure an advantage in my life. I need the Holy Spirit's powerful ministry in my life; bringing conviction of sin, repentance of heart, strengthening my faith and increasing perseverance in resisting temptation. Help me to die to self and walk in the victory of the new creation You have provided for me. Let the fruits of the Spirit flow out of my life so that You will be glorified through my life. I know that it is Your will that I should stand firm and resist all of the enemy's work against me. Help me to discern the attacks upon my thoughts and emotions. Enable me to stand upon Your Word and resist all the accusations, distortions and condemnations that are hurled against me. It is my desire to be transformed through the renewing of my mind, so that I will not compromise with the ways of the world, or yield to the enemy's attacks, but be obedient to Your will. I draw upon those spiritual resources that You have provided me and I attack and rebuke the strongholds and plans of the enemy that have been put in place against me. I command in the name of Jesus Christ that the enemy must release my mind, will, emotions and body completely. They have been yielded to the Lord and I belong to Him. Lord, enable me to become the person You created me to be. Help me as I pray to be strong in faith. Show me how to apply Your Word in my life each day. I know that I wear the full armor of God when I am committed to and stand firmly upon Your Word. I want You to have the supreme place in my life. I surrender myself completely to You, Lord. You are always faithful and You extend Your grace to me constantly, even when I do not realize it. I claim Your promise of forgiveness, cleansing and healing in its fullness. In faith, I receive the victory today that you have already put in place for me. I do this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior with a grateful heart.AMEN

Happy Mother's Day

Famous Mother's Day Quotes

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

~Abraham Lincoln

A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.

~Cardinal Mermillod

Before you were conceived I wanted you. Before you were born I loved you. Before you were here an hour I would die for you.

~ Maureen Hawkins

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

~Washington Irving

God Bless Mother's

Proverbs 31: 10-31

10. A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

11 . Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

12. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.

20. She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.

25. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.

26. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

28. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:

29. "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."

30. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Proverbs - Chapter 11:16

A kindhearted woman gains respect.

1 Peter 3:4

You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.

Psalm 91

¹ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. ^[^a^]

² I will say ^[^b^] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

³ Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,

⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.

⁸ You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

⁹ If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-

¹⁰ then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

¹³ You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

¹⁴ "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

¹⁵ He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

NEW VISION. Living In Victory Spiritual Enlightenment Center. L.I.V.E.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Frederick O. Murph

The Power of Spiritual Thought: You Are What You Think

The Legacy

Dr. Frederick O. Murph comes from a long line of Pastors that have led congregations, both large and small. He is the son of the Late Reverend Henry Wendell Murph and the grandson of the late James Washington Murph. These incredible role models have shaped the Pastor, leader, and man that Dr. Frederick O. Murph is today.

Bishop Henry Wendell Murph

Henry Murph was one of the longest serving Bishops in the History of the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church. He was known throughout the Los Angeles, California area as mentor to area Pastors and as friend to everyone. He had a ministry of reconciliation, not just with God, but among brothers and sisters in Christ.

He had a heart for other African Americans and constantly strove to bring the love of God to the people, whether they were within the church or not. He believed in people and always looked for the best in everyone. This spirit of reconciliation earned him the Governor of California’s Distinguished Service Award for his efforts at peace during the Watts riots of 1968.

Dr. Murph learned from his father how to truly love everyone, not just those who are like you. It is this spirit of love that pervades everything that he does and was the catalyst for writing his life-changing book, The Power of Spiritual Thought, You Are What You Think.

Reverend James Washington Murph

James Washington Murph began the work of ministry at the age of twenty and within a year was licensed to preach. He received degrees from Claflin University, Gammon Theological Seminary, and Kittrell College. In 1888 he joined the A.M.E. Conference and for many years preached throughout North and South Carolina. During his time he erected three churches and was known as an effective Pastor and Preacher.

Dr. Murph learned from his grandfather that leadership is one of the most important qualities that a man of God can have. Strong leadership has been essential to the fruitful ministry that Dr. Murph has had over the last 30 years.

The Legacy Lives On

Effective leadership and love for the people: these are the important lessons that he has learned from the lives and ministries of his father and grandfather. These two qualities have made him an effective teacher, preacher, pastor, and now author.

Come Worship with Us!

Dr. Murph has birthed a new ministry: New Vision-Living In Victory Enlightenment Center. The goal of this ministry is to help people build a strong personal relationship with God through increased knowledge. Dr. Murph seeks to remove the Old Traditions that stand in the way of True Worship.

▣ Have a Cup of Tea with Dr. Murph: He Teaches us that God is the Potter and We are His Clay

posted by Murph Ministries, New Vision Church, The Power of Spiritual Thought on October 25th, 2009 at 3:21 AM

Remember Never to Give Up, God is in Control...

This is a Beautiful Story that reminds us that God cares about us and

will take care of us

Be Strong with The Whole of Armor of God

EPHESIANS CHAP 6:10-18

Love this story or not, you will not be able to have tea
in a tea cup again without thinking of this.

There was a couple who took a trip to England to shop in a beautiful antique store to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery, and especially teacups.Spotting an exceptional cup, they asked "May we see that? We've never seen a cup quite so beautiful."

As the lady handed it to them,suddenly the teacup spoke, "You don't understand. I have not always been a teacup. There was a time when I was just a lump of red clay. My master took me and rolled me, pounded and patted me over and over and I yelled out,"Don't do that." "I don't like it!" "Let me alone," but he only smiled, and gently said; "Not yet!"

Then WHAM! I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly I was made to suit himself and then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door.

"Help! Get me out of here!" I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head from side to side, 'Not yet'.

When I thought I couldn't bear it another minute, the door opened. He carefully took me out and put me on he shelf, and I began to cool. Oh, that felt so good! "Ah, this is much better," I thought. But, after I cooled he picked me up and he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes
were horrible. I thought I would gag. 'Oh, please, "Stop it, Stop, I cried." He only shook his head and said, Not yet!'.

Then suddenly he puts me back in to the oven. Only it was not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I just knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. I was convinced I would never make it. I was ready to give up. Just then the door opened and he took me out and again placed me on the shelf, where I cooled and waited and waited, wondering, "What's he going to do to me next?"

An hour later he handed me a mirror and said, 'Look at yourself.' And I did. I said, "That's not me; that couldn't be me. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful!!!"

Quietly he spoke: "I want you to remember. I know it hurt to be rolled and pounded and patted, but had I just left you alone, you'd have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled. I know it hurt and it was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you never would have hardened. You would not have had any color in your life. If I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't have survived for long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. Now you are what I had in mind when I first began with you."

The moral of this story is this: God knows what He's doing for each of us. He is the potter, and we are His clay. He will mold us and make
us and expose us to just enough pressures of just the right kinds that we may be made into a flawless piece of work to fulfill His good,
pleasing and perfect will.

So when life seems hard, and you are being pounded and patted and pushed almost beyond endurance; when your world seems to be spinning out of control; when you feel like you are in a fiery furnace of trials; when life seems to "stink", try this.

Brew a cup of your favorite tea in your prettiest tea cup, sit down and think on this story and then, have a little talk with the Potter

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dr. Frederick O. Murph Releases his New Inspirational Book

The Power of Spiritual Thought: You Are What You Think

The Power of Spiritual Thought

Finding Victory through Struggle

Many people think that once they are saved, once they have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior that they will no longer have to deal with the same issues in life as everyone else. Being a member of the family of God means that we are entitled to the abundant life promised by God. However, that does not mean that we will no longer have to deal with issues and struggles of life.

Dealing with Struggle

The life of a Christian is not an easy one. There will be times in life when we must deal with temptations, suffering for our beliefs, the jealousy of other people, and even our own anger. However, through unceasing prayer and careful study of the Word of God, we can experience God’s victory in our lives.

Choosing Victory

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:57

We can choose to be victorious over our struggles. By following Jesus, we have victory over sin and death. We can choose to pray and study diligently the Word of God or we can choose to let anger, disappointments, and the jealousy of other people take over our thoughts and keep us from the promises of God.

Changing the Way We Think

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7 Simply put, the thoughts that we entertain (sow) are the outer and sometimes inner experiences, which will eventually be manifested (reaped) in our lives.”

The Power of Spiritual Thought, Chapter 5

Only by sowing seeds of the word of God and diligent prayer, can we reap the harvest of God’s victory and abundance in our lives. The more we sow to please God, the more we will be rewarded by Him. However, the reverse is also true. The more we sow thoughts of anger, hatred, and discord, the more we will reap those things in our lives. We will always have struggles and issues to deal with, but by changing the way we think, we can live victorious and fruitful lives.

▣ Inspirational Message of Spiritual Enlightenment Malachi 3:3 says: 'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.'

posted by Murph Ministries, New Vision Church, The Power of Spiritual Thought on August 5th, 2009 at 4:32 AM

This is a wonderful example of how God watches over us.

Malachi 3:3 says: 'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.'

This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.

One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.

That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver.

As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities

The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: 'He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.' She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined.

The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed..

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, 'How do you know when the silver is fully refined?'

He smiled at her and answered, 'Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it.'

If today you are feeling the heat of the fire , remember that God has his eye son you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.

!Pass this on right now. This very moment, someone needs to know that God is watching over them

And, whatever they're going through, they'll be a better person in the end.

'Life is a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
