Dr. Frederick O. Murph, the author of The Power of Spiritual Thought: You Are What You Think, has ministered from coast to coast for over 30 years. He has been a spiritual advisor, bible teacher, and counselor to hundreds of individuals and families.

A Legacy of Service

Reverend Doctor Frederick O. Murph comes from a long line of ministers. Both his father and grandfather were Pastor’s in the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church and ministered both in the church and in the community at large.

Dr. Murph has followed in their footsteps and ministers not only to his church and his community, but has worldwide outreach through his first book: The Power of Spiritual Thought: You Are What You Think.

Educational Excellence

Dr. Murph has degrees from American University, Howard University, and Monrovia College. He has his Bachelor of Sciencein Sociology and Religion from American, his Masters of Divinityfrom Howard and his Doctorate of Humanitiesfrom Monrovia College.

A Ministry of Renovation

Like Nehemiah, God has used Dr. Murph to rebuild and renovate His temple. From his very first church in 1978, St. Stephen's A.M.E. in Elkridge, Maryland, Dr. Murph has renovated and revitalized the churches which he has served. He has completed multi-million dollar renovations and additions in his 30 year ministry and has not left the church until those renovations were not only complete but paid for.

Ministry to the Masses

His ministry has not only served to rebuild the temple, but the people of God. While ministry in the church is important, Dr. Murph is always seeking ways to bring God to the masses. He has had several outreach ministries and has hosted numerous radio and television shows.

Television and Radio Ministry

While Pastor of the to First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Oakland, California, Murph also hosted "Community Awareness Forum," which was a live, call-in talk show airing in Oakland. This was a thought-provoking, show that discussed the impact of current events on the community. The show was theologically based and reached people in Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley, and the surrounding areas.

He also had a radio ministry on KJLH, 102.3 FM for 12 years, which reached over 100,000 people. It was noted as “the most listened to broadcast on Sunday mornings.”

Community Outreach Organizations

Giving back to the African American Community is a legacy passed down from Dr. Murph’s father and grandfather. Dr. Murph has started several non-profit organizations to help those in the community including: the Maxine Waters Emancipation Home for Women; The Florence Brothers After School Program; The Mesearu-Ephriam-Villaraigosa Free Legal Clinic; and The Vernon R. Byrd Child Development Center. These organizations serve the community with the same passion that Dr. Murph himself has for the people.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dr. Frederick O. Murph Releases his New Inspirational Book

The Power of Spiritual Thought: You Are What You Think

Dr. Murph presents a powerful, scripture-based case for making changes FIRST in your thoughts, before attempting changes in the daily realities of your life.

The Power of Spiritual Thought

Dealing with Doubt and Worry

There are times in each person’s life when he or she will deal with doubt and worry. The economy, our spouses, our children, our jobs, all of these things cause us to worry. Fortunately, God understands our fears. His Word is full of promises not to leave or forsake us and is full of assurances to be of good courage.

Dispelling Doubt

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Galatians 6:7

Doubt is placed in our minds by the enemy to keep us from living the life that God has for us. The more we worry, the more we bring negative things into our lives. If we sow doubt and worry into our lives, we will reap negativity in our lives. If we sow Spiritual Thoughts into our lives, we will reap an abundant life.

This is why it is important to be diligent in building a strong spiritual life, so that we may overcome fear and doubt in our lives.

Building a Strong Spiritual Life

The building blocks of a strong Spiritual life are the studying and hearing the Word of God, prayer, and excellence of Spirit. Developing these disciplines is not always easy. In chapter 7 of his book, The Power of Spiritual Thought: You ARE What you THINK, Dr. Frederick O. Murph tells us: “The True Spiritual Believer must be aware of the fact that there is a clear and present danger associated with being Excellent for God. Simply put, men will hate you. “

Doubters and naysayers lead many to doubt God’s calling on their lives. However, by studying diligently, praying fervently, and continuing on the path of righteousness, the believer is able to stand against the schemes of the enemy and be victorious.

About the Author- Dr. Frederick O Murph "The Power Of Spiritual Thought, You Are What You Think!!"

Dr. Murph has over 30 years of experience as an effective spiritual counselor and guide, Dr. Murph's ministry continues to provide spiritual counseling through anointed sermons, bible study and one-on-one sessions with individuals and families; over 3500 counseling sessions dealing with relationship matters, bereavement and youth concerns. Dr. Murph is a spiritual advisor to politicians, entertainers, entrepreneurs and fellow ministers.

During his undergraduate studies at American University in Washington, D.C., his dual major consisted of courses in Sociology and Religion. While excelling in his sociology courses, he was selected for an internship with the Chairman of the Sociology Department. After a number of graduate level courses in Sociology, Dr. Murph developed a broader understanding of people and how they relate to one another within the framework of society. While Sociology equipped him with the understand of man's relationship with society, the Religion major provided him with a solid theological foundation and understanding of man's spiritual relationship (connection) with God.

During his 3 year matriculation at Howard University Divinity School in Washington, D.C., he received extensive clinical pastoral training and education at Howard University Hospital. The hospital's divinity training included a holistic approach to medicine. Divinity students (ministers) were on medical teams with psychologists, interns, and social workers; each member of the team had a specific expertise and responsibility. The divinity students were called upon to spiritually diagnose and counsel patients based on conversations with them. The divinity students' spiritual discernment was also used to determine the underlying cause of the patient's current condition in the hospital and the mental wards.

The aforementioned academic training and the substantial experience associated with being a pastor for over 30 years further qualifies Dr. Murph to write this book.

There are times in each person’s life when he or she will deal with doubt and worry. The economy, our spouses, our children, our jobs, all of these things cause us to worry. Fortunately, God understands our fears. His Word is full of promises not to leave or forsake us and is full of assurances to be of good courage.

Doubt is placed in our minds by the enemy to keep us from living the life that God has for us. The more we worry, the more we bring negative things into our lives. If we sow doubt and worry into our lives, we will reap negativity in our lives. If we sow Spiritual Thoughts into our lives, we will reap an abundant life. Remember We Suffer sometimes so that God Can Get The GLORY, BY DELIVERING US FROM THE GRASP OF OUR ENEMIES. Trials & Tribulations should not be confused with a Punishment, They are Tests so that GOD can teach us valuable lessons. In The End We Are Stronger Christians that cannot be shaken from our Foundation.

{ Pray that Jesus will be a Fence Around us to Protect Us}

This is why it is important to be diligent in building a strong spiritual life, so that we may overcome fear and doubt in our lives.

I often speak with people who are stressed, depressed, and bound by negative thoughts.

This is GREAT!!!!!

B.A.D.

While shopping at a local Wal-Mart, a woman spotted a man with an acronym on his shirt that had B.A.D. Being the person that she was (curious), she stopped the man and asked, "What does B.A..D... Stand for?" And trust me; you'll be amazed at what his response was. He replied B.A.D. Stands for: "Blessed And Delivered". That thought stuck with her as she finished doing her shopping that day. So she came up with a little advice for you today.

1. When the enemy tries to attack you, beB.A.D.

2. When things don't seem to be going right on your job, know that you are B.A.D.
3. When things are not looking good in your marriage, beB.A.D.
4. When folks scandalize your name, just beB.A.D.
5. Get with somebody who you know that you can beB.A.D.With!!!
6. May God Bless You And Have A B.A.D. Day!

Any person that can kneel before God can stand before anything..

In God we trust
One nation under God

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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Power of Spiritual Thought

Chapter 1: How to be Blessed and Experience Spiritual Success

We are facing tough times. Many are struggling financially in a flagging economy, struggling emotionally from depression and discouragement, and struggling physically with illness. Is this the life God has for his children?

The Abundant Life

All believers are empowered by God to live an abundant life. This life is evidenced by Joy, Peace, Health, Harmony, Faith, and Hope. But how does one come into this life of abundance?

The Three Keys to Spiritual Success

Then shall thou prosper, if though takest heed to fulfill the statutes and judgments, which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel: Be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. 1 Chronicles 22:13

The Power of Spiritual Thought by Dr. Frederick O. Murph lays out three key principles to the prosperity God has promised:

Sowing the seed of the Word of God. By sowing the seed of the Word of God, the believer will reap a harvest of spiritual prosperity
Resisting the urge to dread the journey: dreading the journey will keep us from being transformed by the Holy Spirit
Resisting the urge to become dismayed: this is merely a distraction to keep you from focusing on God.

By incorporating these 3 principles into daily life, the believer can begin to walk in the prosperity that God has promised.

Trusting God

“The showers of God’s blessings rain down upon those who Trust Him and are Faithful. God wants to know, if we will Trust Him in the midst of the trials and tribulations of our lives.”

The Power of Spiritual Thought, Chapter 1

Trusting God underlies every principal laid out above. If we trust God, then we can sow the word of God in Faith, we can look forward to the journey of life, and we can stay encouraged despite obstacles and troubles that may come.

Chapter 1 provides insight into how to trust God and be faithful, despite the obstacles.

▣ 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.

Thank-you Joanne for sending us this Wonderful Inspirational Message of Spiritual Enlightenment
