Will we need a Murrell Ewing at Conference this year?

I was blessed beyond measure to have Bro. Murrell Ewing come over last night to preach for us. The man is simply incredible and the anointing on his life is almost breathtaking when he 'locks in'. He did so much good for our Church last night and I'll love him forever because of it. He's one of those 'icons' that we need to cherish while we can.

Sitting around the table after Church we began to talk 'preaching' (naturally! oloroid) and I mentioned to him a message that he preached which remains one of my 'favorites' to this day. I think the year was 1977 and he was preaching our General Conference and wonderfullly delivered an incredible message called "If Love Ever Speaks".

Ironically, when I mentioned it to him he said, "I tried so hard to preach something else but I had been given a word I knew was from God!" He went on to tell me several supernatural confirmations that he was, indeed, to preach that message. But, towards the end of the conversation his wife said, "I was stopped several times by weeping preachers on our way out telling me that my husband had singlehandedly just stopped the organization from splitting."

On further explaination they told me that this was the year that Hanby and Phillips brought the television issue up and there was such friction going back and forth. Suddenly, remembering the message, I could see the absolute value of that message at that moment. It spoke about Solomon taking the baby up ready to divide it with a sword and how love spoke through the real Mother and said, "NO! Don't destroy the baby! I still know what I know but I don't want my baby to die because of someone I don't agree with!"

Perhaps we need another 'Murrell Ewing' moment at this upcoming General Conference. I would suggest that if you don't have the message try to find a copy... it's an incredible message.
