THE VISION OF NBC
New Beginners Church Vision
Dr. Emma J. Terrell when the establishment of New Beginners Church first began. It is not a full account word for word but a general overview. Over time some manifestations have already taken place and some parts are presently unfolding.
In April 1988 God called me to a work that I could not in the natural comprehend. He had shown me in a vision what he wanted to be in operation of the church he would establish through me. (A vessel). It was different from what I was accustomed to seeing over the years of attending church. He showed me what was called “Praise and Worship”, “Outreach Centers” (Women Shelters, Rehabilitation and Projects for the underprivileged. He showed me how that through true teachings of His Word he would change those who thought they were useless and out cast into more than they could ask or think. With faith in His Word, the broken-hearted would be healed and he would restore marriages and families Satan had destroyed and by his Holy Spirit he would clean the hearts of his people. No longer would his children, “Have a form of Godliness, denying the power therein”, but the cleansing of the inner-man in “Spirit and In Truth”.
He said His Word was sent to heal and to deliver and that he wanted the manifestation of His Word in the church today.
The “Vision” is when I “in the spirit” became “pregnant”. That spiritual baby a few months later was delivered in Burlington, North Carolina in a spare room of my home, lovely referred to now as the “Blue Room” (first services were held in this room) and the name given the baby was New Beginners Ministries.
New Beginners was a church not to stand still, it was to gather for services at appointed time, teach God Word and instruct through other effective services to equipping those for the service of Christ. New Beginners is to take you through the steps of “growing up” in Christ. From a babe in Christ and to the Word into an adult eating the meat of the Word, becoming equipped in the things of God, becoming a representative of Christ to go out and make more disciples according to Matthew 28.
Every step at New Beginners is to always be in preparation for the next realm God has predestinate. Being led by the Holy Spirit, knowing that to follow Him will led to more truth and understanding of who He is and who you are in Him.
II Chronicles 7:14 “If my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray, seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land”. Giving me this scripture passage God reveals that the healing begins in us (our hearts, minds and soul) that in being first partakers we then are able to help others overcome, even the whole nation.
From the birth of the baby (New Beginners) in April 1988 God has been true to His word. From one member to what the church has become, the Holy Spirit has been in control. All glory be to God, who is the Author and the Finisher of my faith.
