As we celebrate the 9th years Church Anniversary and Pastors Appreciation, I would like for all of us to travel back in time together for a few minutes to discover the beginning of Manifestations Worldwide. We all have a story, So does this ministry!!. It all started around March 2001 when Mark Jones, who was an Elder at the time and Willie Weems who was a Deacon at that time serving in another church, met in a New members’ class that Elder Jones was teaching at the time. The Lord spoke to Willie Weems and gave him instruction to assist Elder Jones. At the time Deacon Willie did not know what these instruction would mean so he set an appointment to meet with Elder Jones to discuss what the Lord had spoke concerning assisting him. It was at this time during this meeting that Deacon Weems informed Elder Jones of 15min. air time on WTMP 1150, radio program. This is when they began to work together.
In April of 2001, Elder Jones visited God’s Anointed place” on 1001 E. Hillsborough, to tour the facility. During the conversation Elder Jones told Deacon Willie Weems that he would like to begin Monday Night Manna, which is a bible study, still taught by him to this day. They began to advertise on the radio. Deacon Willie knew that a church was to manifest as an end result of this conversation with Elder Jones, however he was waiting for God’s instructions. For several months those in attendance to the bible study were only Willie & his wife Wilma, their 3 daughters and Elder Jones’ kids Mark Jr. & Marlesia. The Weems didn’t want to be responsible for, nor did they want to create any interference by encouraging people to come that were already involved in other churches. Many times the children wanted to stay in the front playing but because the Weems were the only adults and there were no other partners at that time for Elder Jones to teach, they would bring the kids to listen. At the same time Michelle Guess was using the facility on Thursdays to have her women’s ministry meetings. One day Deacon Weems invited her to the Monday Night Manna bible study. Deacon Weems said “just listen to him one time “Pastor is like Lay’s Potato Chips, I guarantee you, once you listen to him one time, you will have to listen again.” Michelle replied, “If this man calls me out one time, I am letting you know right now I am going to give it to him.” Lo’ and behold, he called her out the first time she came to visit, he laid hands on Michelle and she
rolled all over the place! In the mean time while Elder Jones was teaching bible study on Mondays he was also teaching the word on the radio and advertising Monday Night Manna. Sister Judy Frances and others were working at the Weems’ beauty salon at the time; they were invited and that is how they became partners. Others came by word of mouth and still others just followed him, lead by the Holy Spirit. Next Elder Jones was lead to start a church, It was at this time that The Center for Manifestation was birthed from the heart of God (July 15th 2001 to present). The Holy Spirit revealed to Deacon Weems that the church that Elder Jones would pastor was going to be a church among churches, teaching & developing pastors. At that time he did not understand what the Holy Spirit was revealing to him until Dr. Jones developed FBCM, then Deacon Weems was able to understand what the Holy Spirit had revealed to him. Deacon Weems thanks God for the journey. The place begin to be too small for the crowd so Elder Jones decided that it was time to find a bigger place. Deacon Weems and Pastor Jones looked at many buildings. Many nights they talked about how crowded the place was. One particular morning a woman drove to Deacon Weems’ place and said to him, “The Lord, instructed me to bring you this flyer.” That flyer contained information for the church on Okaloosa! The flyer said “for sale or for lease” so they decided to go to see the church. They liked the church but there was this particular building that pastor really liked on Busch Blvd.

He told Deacon Weems, “meet me at the location on Busch.” When Deacon Weems made it to the building, he found Pastor Jones with the entire church praying, speaking in tongues, laying hands and walking around the building. They proceeded to get this particular building but all kind of obstacles came along. Deacon Weems felt at that time that God had already opened the doors for them to move to Okaloosa, so he shared his thoughts with Pastor Jones and on January 2002 the move was made from 1001 E. Hillsborough Ave. to 808 E Okaloosa Ave. “Once we started on Okaloosa God begin to do different things in the ministry. We were walking, blossoming, buffing rough edges and spots, this was the foundation. We went through the growing pains with Sister Lisa, she didn’t want to be a first lady, but she prayed about it, God did work on her, “we are very proud of her.” Elder Weems came to our present location, the facility which is now known as The Center For Manifestation, looking for an organ. He felt in his spirit that the building was going to be their next church building. He then went to pastor Jones’ home where they were having a family gathering and pastor called him into his office. Pastor Jones loves to talk about the word of God and he was very excited about church, so all his conversations
was in regard to church. At that point Deacon Weems shared with Pastor Jones what the Holy Spirit revealed to him. Pastor Jones replied, “I can see that happening, but not right now.” Sometime during October Deacon Weems received a call advising him that the church building on Lake Ave, was available, So he called Pastor and let him know that the building was available. Pastor called and set an appointment with the Pastor of the church at that time. Those present in the meeting were Pastor Jones, Lady Lisa and Deacon Weems. The Pastor of the church at the time, whose name was also Jones, said “If you can’t afford so many thousand dollars a month you’re wasting my time.” So, our pastor let him know who he was at that time, and that he had counted the cost before he came to the meeting. That’s when the negotiation began. The Lord spoke to Pastor Jones letting him know that no one will stop the ministry from moving forward. On January 2003 the move was made from 808 E. Okaloosa Ave. to where we now know and experience the sons of God being made manifest, here at 3102 E. Lake Ave. Manifestations Worldwide, Inc.

This place is the Asylum of our minds. Its our inability to conquer “Rage” and have that “sound mind.” It’s the unhealthy relationships we have built that have us spending more time with a friend or a girlfriend/ boyfriend that we are lost without them around and can’t even hear God’s cry cause we are crying. Its that place where our dark addictions hide and speaks to us in our silence and idle time that we begin to hear the voices telling us to do what is so unhealthy. Its that nagging thought that “ Im not _________” you fill in the blank. Where is God? He is on the other side of that room door waiting to set you free. He is waiting for you to As Christians we have an attack against the very fabric grab His hand as he ushers you out and into the hands of who we are on a daily basis. Its enough to make us of your destiny. go crazy! We get caught in so many mind bondages that we find our selves crying out to a God that we This month we at ESO will find a way out through the don't even know. escape plan that God has laid out for us. We need to set our thoughts on higher things. Come and find out To make things worse we have gotten so caught up in how. If you can’t listen live online, go back and our little world that we don't know how to find our watch it for yourself on our Ustream channel @ selves again. We have lost our identity , or found our WWW.CFMEMERGE.COM identity in things that God never intended us to be found in. This is not just crazy but man its keeping us With lots of Aloha, locked up and away from our destinies.

During this series in ESO, we will be discovering those padded rooms that are keeping us from getting to our dreams and more importantly from seeing God work in and through us regularly.

Our Vision Proverbs 29: 18 “Where there is no vision the people perish. Our vision is to teach the end-time church of the essence of kingdom life, and to communicate deep, spiritual truth in a simplified manner. The center for Manifestation was released from the heart of God to be a refreshing force to the body of Christ. While the central theme and essence of this ministry is to prepare the way for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, in part this purpose is accomplished by retraining the saints as to what their God given roles and responsibilities in the church are. It is also the vision of this ministry to bring healing and deliverance to those who have been hindered from moving into position for the latter rains. This is the season for the manifestation of the sons of God!
