song info:Jesus, He’s Alive And Well (Becky Stewart -Words and Music) / Early one morning Becky Stewart rose up singing this line, “Jesus, He’s Alive and Well,†and thought, “this is really catchyâ€â€¦. then she added some verses to go with the chorus as she reflected on “The Passion†of the Christ … movie. She remembered the gruesome beating of Jesus on His way to the cross but her mind moved quickly to the resurrection … the grave COULD NOT HOLD HIM! And today He IS Alive and well…we believe it because the Word of God says it! And the Word of God is truth and the truth shall set us FREE! Matthew 28:5-7 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen... He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.†Tell The Story (Terry Morris - Words and Music) With special thanks to Becky Stewart / The birth of this song came when the writer and our bass singer, Terry Morris was deep in prayer, talking to the Lord about what message to share with the people at this point in time. While watching the news the Lord revealed, “Your job is to “Tell The Storyâ€. Matthew 28:19,20, The Great Commission; records Jesus our Lord saying, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.†Whatever God has you doing for the Kingdom, remember to “Tell the Storyâ€. Have Faith (Yvonne Goss-Words and Music) Special thanks to Becky Stewart / When God gives Yvonne Goss a song, it comes with the melody, which confirms to her that it really belongs to the Lord, for you see; Yvonne cannot read or score music. When the words and music come, she writes them down and tapes the melody. It always amazes her when the song is born. Have Faith came at the lowest point of her adult life, the words of the first two verses are very true. Yvonne wrote a line and it was like God would answer her. Listen to the song and find God’s answers. Becky Stewart wrote the third verse to the song and it fit so well that Yvonne added it and the song was birthed. Matthew 9:22 records the words of Jesus spoken to a sick woman, “Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,†he said, “Your faith has healed you.†And the woman was healed from that moment.†Could this song be speaking for you to you? Take heart my friend and take hold of your healing, renew your faith. Matthew 21:21, “Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to the mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.†Be A Voice (Yvonne Goss-Words and Music) / The story behind this song is not a pretty one. It was out of pure frustration and a desperate need to fight for the precious children, the gift that only God can give. Yvonne personally experienced in a real way childhood abuse. She and her family came to grips with it as adults. One person using his voice ended the chain of events. Yvonne prayed and prayed about what to do to make a difference for children that are going through what she went through. The songwriter currently works in a High School, and daily imagines how many of these children are living the very same life she did growing up. Then God gave here the words “Be A Voiceâ€. We know that it is not God’s will for His children to suffer like that at the hands of Satan and his evil perversion. The bible says in Matthew 18:6, But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a milstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.†Yvonne is now the VOICE for every hurting child. She plans to send this song to as many organizations as possible and shed light on this very ugly secret. The truth really does set us free! We have to Be Their Voice! Yvonne feels that God told her that for a reason. The road of healing is not easy for the family, but again we must “Be a Voice.†With Every Nail (Yvonne Goss - words and music) / ‘With Every Nail’, was written when Yvonne looked at her situation, after the Lord gave her the words to ‘Have Faith’, she began to focus on what the Lord Jesus had gone through, and how could she be thinking of taking her life when he gave His for hers. Yvonne, alone in her kitchen began to meditate on Jesus and how very much he suffered just for her. Matthew 26: 38, records Jesus talking to Peter and then to the Father, “Then he said, … “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me. Going on a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.†Please take time to read Luke 22 and 23 to learn more about how Jesus suffered for us. Yvonne began to focus on his goodness and mercy and how very much He sacrificed for her. The songwriter focused on how he gave every part of him for everyone of us. The words to this song have truly lifted the spirit of depression from her life. Psalm 100:5 says, “For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.†Psalm 103:17 says, “But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children…†With every nail, remember Jesus loves you! Grace Flows Down / This song was written by David Bell, Louie Giglio and Rod Pagaent. All you have to do is listen to this song and you will know why it is one of New Vision’s favorites. We thank God for the words “Grace flows downâ€. He’s Been Conquered (Yvonne Goss-words and music) / He’s Been Conquered came as a victory song of vindication for the songwriter, Yvonne Goss, her mom and sisters. When all of these women stood praying the 23rd Psalm out loud together, they felt God standing with them as He literally moved their mountain. The Lord gave them peace, boldness and strength to go on to complete their mission. Hebrews 4:12 states, “The word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitude of the heart.†We need to learn to quote the word of God out loud to encourage one another and to encourage ourselves. Will you commit to write some scripture on your heart and always be ready with an answer for those that are being saved?Praise God I’m Free (Becky Stewart-words and music) / Galatians 5:1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free…†the songwriter, Becky Stewart knows without a doubt that apart from Christ, she is not free! A “born again†Christian for 40 years, Becky watches people struggle with life in general. She prays, “if they would only give their life to Christ, things would be so much betterâ€. When Jesus is the Lord of your life, even in the roughest storms, you can rest in Him and He gives you peace. This is true freedom! Friend, if you are searching for “sweet peace withinâ€, stop searching because Jesus is the only one who can give you TRUE peace. Ask, in faith believing, and you shall receive! Two Winning Hands / “Two Winning Hands†was written by Ronny Hinson with Calvary Publishing and has been recorded by many groups. We still enjoy the theme so much, we pray it touches your heart. Let The Veil Down / Words and music were written by Perry Stone and Keith Dudley with Acuff Rose Music and Stone and Stone Publishing. This song has spoken to thousands through live performance and recordings. Please let it remind you that through our Lord Jesus Christ you have access to the throne of God. You can go boldly before the Lord and cry out to him. Fearlessly tell Him everything with confidence that He hears our prayers and He loves us so much that He sent Jesus, His only son to save us. Be blessed as you enjoy “Let the Veil Downâ€. Just As I Am / This very old hymn is the most wonderful way to wrap up “The Gift†in the ribbon of eternal life. The words and music were written by Charlotte Elliott and William B. Bradbury in the early 1800's. Of course I think of Dr. Billy Graham every time I hear it because he used it at the end of almost every crusade to welcome thousands to the alter to give their hearts and lives to the Lord Jesus Christ. Thousands have received forgiveness and have dedicated their very being to the Lord while being drawn by the Holy Spirit through this hymn. I pray you are blessed as you listen.Christmas Album? No, but read the story behind the creation of the cover that reveals the beautiful story of its cover art.STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART OF THE MOST WONDERFUL DORIS BANKS:I truly believe this is what New Vision is all about. I realize that you don’t often read a discussion of the goals or focus of a gospel group like New Vision, but because of the time we are living in; we must use our time to be about God’s work. By now you know that you, the reader, are part of answered prayer. The Holy Spirit inspired me to write while New Vision was recording the first six cuts of this new album. The Lord spoke to me all day while they were working. It was a most wonderful time in the Lord for me. I moved through the scriptures as the songs spoke to me, learning the theme, who the message is for and how it can be used in the Kingdom. After sharing with Becky, lead singer, some of what I was given that day, she asked me to name the album and design the cover. I agreed to pray and seek God, but at the time I was sure in my spirit that it was already done. This idea, I believe is inspired by the Holy Spirit. When I was praying I asked the Holy Spirit, “How can we get this album into the hands of the unsaved?†The ideas that came to mind where, “it has to be fresh, attractive, different, it has to stand out, and be easy to give to othersâ€. With that focus, I began to visualize, “The Giftâ€. Everyone loves to give and receive gifts. This year, if you look around at the most innovative packaging and gift-wrapping ideas you will see gifts that you just do not want to open because they are so unbelievably beautiful. That is where I would take the cover of the 2006 New Vision Project. “The Giftâ€, the most unbelievable, beautiful free gift of the Lord Jesus Christ wrapped in the ribbon of eternal life. When on display, or being presented to someone, it is my plan for the package to be a beautiful “gift†on one side and on the other side, the group picture of New Vision. The whole Idea is to be so attractive to the eye that you must pick it up and examine it. At that point, the move of the Holy Spirit will tell the rest of the story so to speak. Because New Vision is based in the most beautiful place in the world, the sand, the sea oats, the water, the sky is our backdrop. God is the creator of all the most wonderful art. Now, you be blessed! In the great and mighty name of Jesus Christ! Amen! We are willing, are you? Lay down your life and your will and do God’s will. That is true worship.New Vision Prayer Focus We pray Lord Jesus, Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere, the fragrance of the knowledge of Him. For the word says we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. God we give you glory and honor. Thank you Lord for New Vision, for the dedication, the patience, the energy, the talent, and the evidence of your presence in our lives. Holy Spirit, we thank you for guidance in the development of fresh worship programs that please you and accomplish the work of your Kingdom on earth. We thank you Lord for direction concerning the placement of New Vision in the world with Kingdom vision for the harvest of souls. Holy Spirit, thank you for teaching us, preparing us daily, guiding us, drawing us closer to you so we understand your heart and see through your eyes the needs of others. Holy Spirit, we thank you for the manifestation of your presence in our programs with gifts of healing, deliverance, salvation, restoration, renewal by the supernatural move of God. We thank you Holy Spirit that the manifested result of our ministry be written not with ink But with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone But on tablets of human hearts! We thank you Lord that, “…whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away, Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit is there is freedom.†We thank you Lord for freedom. Oh Lord we are so grateful for the “Giftâ€. The blood that cleanses, the grace that saves us, the victory over sin, the Holy Spirit to guide us, the love you show us all tied up with the ribbon of eternal life. We praise you, We thank you, We worship you, We love you Lord. Amen and Amen and Amen!

slide show New Vision We began New Vision back in 1978 afterattending a Hemphill concert at West Carteret High School.They had just written and recorded, "Consider the Lilies".We thought it was one of the prettiest songs we had ever heard; so,we bought the sheet music (which we still have) that nightand the rest is history. We have had the blessed opportunity to minister in so many different churches and festivals over the years, and although some of the members of the New Vision Ministry have changed as time goes by, one thing remains the same....our love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and our desire to see souls won and lives changed to the Glory of our Almighty Father!contact codeCONTACT CODE
