Unprecedented & Unimaginable Pastor Mark Jones Apostle & Founder Manifestations Worldwide Inc.
As we approach the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit is moving in the body of Christ in unprecedented and unimaginable ways. This explains the reformation of thought that is currently transpiring in the minds of those who are diligent in God's work. The old ways are being abandoned, and old cisterns which can hold no water are being broken, thankfully beyond repair. New wine is being poured into new wine skins, that are stretchable and adaptive in nature. As the mind of the Spirit is being realized in our forms of worship, and being actualized in our operational plans, with great approval, affirmation, and assistance, God is manifesting His will in the lives of His chosen people. We must open our hearts to the Holy Spirit to move in unimaginable ways. We must allow Him to define our expectation, and refine our hearts in preparation for the most effective move of the Spirit of God on planet earth, in our generation. I am convinced, that there are no limits, no ceilings, no borders, and no boundaries that can contain the overwhelming, inundating glory that is about to motivate and mobilize God's people to the greater works that Christ our Lord promised. Very often, people of purpose and destiny fail to leave an ineradicable mark on either society or mankind, only to retreat to the heavens without maximizing their God-given and intended potential. Dr. Mark T. Jones, Sr. is not only maximizing what God has deposited in him, but he is also empowering the people of God to fulfill their purpose on the earth. In this season, he is a voice for the voiceless. His messages compel the attention of those who seek to discover their purpose in life and launch their destiny.

TSUNAMI WOMAN: WHICH ONE ARE YOU? I am thankful to share that on October 4-9 thirty-three ladies sailed the seas on the Carnival Inspiration. During our time together we had the opportunity to share and embrace some memorable moments. Why am I thankful? well one reason is that we broke the bands of a very binding stereotype about women "too many women together in one place only leads to drama" or "when you get a whole bunch of us (women) together you know what happens" we came out laughing at the lies of the enemy. The ages of the ladies in the group ranged from 29-67 look at God the older women in positions to impart. The other thing I am thankful for was that we returned back with a wealth of impartation from the morning devotion this is a brief over view of one of the messages we experienced. While we were on the Mexican waters, I remember an event that took place in Indonesia in 2006. It destroyed and killed many people: (Hint! Hint!) Since I never heard of the word, I got out the dictionary and it read ―tsunami: a huge wave caused by an underlying earthquake or volcano. Ok? What’s an earthquake: a series of vibrations in the earth surface and volcano: an opening from where steam and lava comes from. Now my spiritual sisters, this is definitely a parable to our spiritual lives and how we carry ourselves from day to day. The word of God tells us from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh ( Matt 12:34). Therefore, there is nothing that takes place that did not have warnings of vibrations and visible steam (uh oh she’s going to blow!). So what you really trying to say? Ok, for those of you who are not walking in the spirit, a tsunami woman can be a woman of destruction or triumph. There are many women in the Bible who were penned as both types of women. The book of proverbs is full of women of destruction as described by David when educating his son Solomon about the women he had encountered. But there are many memorable women like Ruth, Mary, Esther and even Rahab the whore who became tsunami women of triumph and victory. So the question remains tsunami woman: which one are you? If CFM decided to write a book of tsunami women of triumph, would you be inside the book to bring to the outside a wave of refreshing? A penny for your thoughts: be thankful for being a tsunami woman of triumph
we also learned how not to be among the "SILLY WOMEN" Sis Sandra Barr and "BABY GIRL LIVE" Wendy Boles. Join us next year to be a part of another life changing Women's Fellowship Cruise.

In Puerto Rico Thanksgiving is known as ―Dia de Accion de Gracias‖ which means the day of the action of thanks. On Thanksgiving everyone meets up at Grandma's house, she is as important to Thanksgiving as having a turkey on the table. On Thanksgiving Grandma takes her best dishes out for the entire family to use, and we all get to use them! Grandma prepares all the dishes over night, she wants everything to be perfect and plenty of every thing, just in time for lunch on Thanksgiving Day. She makes potato salad, green salad, white rice, gandules with bollitos, which is shredded green banana inside the pigeon peas, roast pork, ham, boiled yam, green and yellow plantain, and of course the star of the meal stewed turkey. For dessert we eat rice pudding, temblece, cake, and flan. Everyone comes over to eat lunch. Grandma blesses the food, then the eating and talking begins. Everybody talks at the same time, many conversations take place all at once. After everyone is done eating they spread around to continue socializing and the children get to play with one another, running around. When they are tired they go outside to sleep on the hammock until dinner time where the proceed to eat again. When its time to go home, grandma makes sure every one takes food for the next day.

Mayra Young Gabriella Bryant
Freedom Call Center Ministry My family and I came from Long Island, N.Y. to Tampa, in 2004 and joined the Center for Manifestation. Tavis Myrick and Mattie Cole were the first two individuals to serve in the phone ministry in response to callers calling based on the airing of our television broadcast (for about 6 months). As call volume increased, Tavis grew the team to about 6-8 members; myself, Myra Young and Gabriella Bryant being the second of the first fruits if you will.
Regina Faison (one of our former team members) actually named the ministry. To whom I am grateful, I believe the name is ―quite‖ fitting. Freedom Call Center answers prayer requests that come in from all over this country. We also take any product order requests that come as a result of our Sunday broadcast via CTN Ministries based out of Clearwater, FL. The team processes financial requests such as tithe payments, offerings and donations as callers are led to support our ministry nationwide.
Tavis asked me to take the reins of the department, I believe it was in 2007, and I humbly accepted. Having worked in call center environments in various capacities in the If anyone would like to be a part of this past, I sensed that the challenge would be a ministry, please contact Debra Chappelle at good one and it has (as the best is yet to come). 813-406-7293 or email me at freedomcallcenter@centerformanifestation.com. I have been serving in this capacity for three years and would like to take the opportuThank you and God Bless, nity to thank all current and past members for their faithful support. Special thanks go out to Debra Chappelle Myra Young and Gabriella Bryant who as previously mentioned has been with the call center from its inception. They are two of the most faithful, consistent, and unwavering ladies in our ministry. Myra is quiet, yet powerful and extremely resourceful, always willing to be of assistance. Gabriella is the type of woman that can make you laugh and cry at the same time. Gabriella loves God and her church family.
Prophet Jason Edwards
The Servant’s Heart of a Prophet In today’s society, many believers have been guilty of going to and fro with itchy ears seeking a prophecy from anyone claiming to have a word from the Lord. Unfortunately, the believer is so eager to hear a quick remedy for a particular need or desire that prayer and intimacy with the Father has gone lacking. On the other hand, some believers simply resort to the lazy and/or immature way of hearing from God. They rely on a prominent figurehead in Christiandom to tickle their fancy by appealing to their fleshly desires (e.g. telling them exactly what they want to hear). Where are the true prophets who will come forth and speak God’s truth with holy boldness? Why have the prophetic gift and the office been prostituted in exchange for filthy lucre and notoriety? Why have the people of God become so captivated by this gift/office? Why has the prophetic been so misused and abused? How could the learned as well as the unlearned, the gullible and the skeptic, the faithful and the faithless become casualties? The answers will vary however, we must understand that it’s not merely time for damage control, but time for those who are truly called to the prophetic to rise up and speak solely as the mouthpiece of God – without compromise! Many believers have suffered spiritual devastation from these inaccuracies and fled the church. Clichés have surfaced and received well by many such as God’s going to take you to the nations. These words have been prophesied or rather propha-lied to plant illusions of grandeur. What happened to speaking God’s basic truths? Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
(Leviticus 20:7) . . . come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord . . .
(2 Corinthians 6:17) Nowadays, some prophets are more concerned about giving a favorable word like a blessing so that people will become dependent upon them. We need prophetic vessels that have fully surrendered themselves to the will of the Father and have decided like Jesus said, in John 4:34, ―. . . My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.‖ We need more prophets like Samuel who was able to hear the voice of God and posture himself as a servant. As prophets, we must speak the uncompromising truth in love. In 2 Samuel Chapter 12, after David had committed adultery and had Uriah killed, God sent Nathan the prophet unto David to show him of his sin. Nathan the prophet delivered the message to the king. Although it was a difficult task, God gave him the wisdom to do it. The servant’s heart of a prophet must remain pure – and always sensitive and obedient to the voice of God.

Carla Crumb Hello, my name is Carla Crumb. I am 43 years old and single. I reside in St. Petersburg, Florida. I have been a partner at the Center for Manifestation for a little over two years. The word is so powerful that I do not mind driving from St. Pete to Tampa everyday if I had to. I am an active part of Emerge, where I volunteer to assist with the 3-6 year old children. I am also a member of the Singles with Purpose, Women's Ministry, Reviving the Stone, and Adorned in His Glory School of Intercession and World Missions; in which I have a great compassion for taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth. World Missions is important because I have served my country in third world countries before while serving in the Air Force. What irritates me is that the need for help is great, but what Apostle Mark has imparted in me is that the things that annoy me are the things that I am anointed to change. Those people are living in poor conditions, needing medical attention, food and clothing while we have the abundance; however, we take it for granted and not help them as much as we could.
Apostle Mark and Lady Lisa, has both made great impacts on my life by teaching me how to live and operate in a Kingdom mindset and Godly character. Apostle Mark and Lady Lisa’s lives emulate God, while mine must come in alignment as I follow them, and they follow Christ. Apostle Mark's message that first impacted a change in my life was "The Bishopric" and Lady Lisa's message "Healing for the Father Wound�. These messages have led me to deliverance, a fresh new anointing and dimensions in my life, taking me from glory to glory. Through CFM, I have been delivered from fighting, robbing, lying, manipulating, controlling, fornicating, having bitterness, being unforgiving, and self preservation. God has replaced those things with love, peace, joy, longsuffering, kindness, faithfulness and temperance. However, I am still working on gentleness and trying to say things gracefully and tactful, which is sometimes a challenge when I think I have a point. I am constantly learning that dead men don't react, so I have to die to myself daily.

Greetings to the CFM family and ESO students! I am overwhelmed with faith and excitement to see what God is planning to do in our student ministry during this transition. For the past month I have been asking God ―Why are our students not getting it?‖ After some time and prayer He revealed to me that some of them simply understand the religion not the relationship. They have become believers in ―The God of their Fathers.‖ However, they are yet to realize that this same God is the one that they are to serve whole-heartedly and obey His word in order to receive their own kingdom inheritance. This revelation birthed this month’s series: ―The BIG Picture.‖ We are going to go back to the basics of our faith to help insure that our students understand the reason why we sing, pray, believe, and etc. It’s time for our students to come to a place where they are not attending services religiously, week after week, without understanding the relationship aspects of serving Christ. To have relationship you have to know the facts, myths, and
truths of our faith. My prayer is that this series will help our spiritually dwarfed students to finally obtain a growth spurt and help our babes in Christ to get off the bottle and able to intake solid foods. We are not the future; we’re the Now. It’s time to MANIFEST! - Emjay
their partner for so long, the students for letting me be a father to them, and church for supporting the ministry. My staff is the greatest staff on the planet and they will take off where I left off and I have confidence that God will use them mightily. ESO Leaders thanks for letting God use you and allowing me to lead you for so long.
Seven and a half years ago I came to CFM and was intent on just sitting and playing music. Then from left field God came and caught me up. He asked me to step into what I thought I could not do and didn't want to do. I became a Youth Pastor! A few months later Emerge student Oasis was born.
Emjay aka Mark Jones Jr aka lil Mark aka fashionista, I know you will allow God to inspire your every step. Lisa Jones thanks for believing in me. P. Michelle for encouraging me, Sis. Leola for mothering me, and all others for showing me love. Dr. Jones you will be the greatest one I will miss, you were my father when no one else was. I prayed for a Pastor like you and only pray that what ever God holds for me will be a testament (of) how you matured me as a leader.
I fell in love with my destiny and fell in love with my students. I learned that I already knew how to do the Job because I was born for it.
Family, I love you! Cameron my son you make me proud, Victoria my daughter you inspire me.
So after 7 years, the job I didn't want I don’t want to give up. God, works that way He wants us to do what He wants not what we want. As difficult as it is I will do what He wants because He obviously knows what He is doing.
Is this the last you will hear from me? No. Mutant Ministries has begun. Be a witness to history watch what God will do through me because of all of you. (Check facebook for a fan page ―mutants r us‖ and a website) (Sorry small plug, lol).
So after 6 years of being the Youth Pastor here at CFM God has said ―Al its time to let go and let me do a new thing.‖ and in as much as I love being the youth pastor I love being obedient to God more.
Me and my wife thank you all for everything you have done and all of your prayers.
God has given me the awesome pleasure of seeing so many things happen. So many students grow up and grow strong in their faith. I must thank the parents for allowing me to be

This is the season to Manifest….. Mark Jr., Lady Lisa,Dr. Jones,Marlesia 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!
