The Newness of Life Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
One of the saddest realities that I have ever seen is the born again believer living far beneath the realities that are indicative of the new nature given to us by Christ. The believer has been translated out of the kingdom of darkness, and into the kingdom of light.
Dr. Mark T. Jones Apostle & Founder Manifestations Worldwide Inc.
It is my prayer that all of our partners will begin to believe on a different plain, concerning our existence here in the earth. The days are evil and short, so we the born again, blood bought, believers in Jesus Christ, should be red-hot and ready to advance the kingdom of God, fulfill our God-ordained destiny, and live distinctively for Him in this present world.
This translation has disconnected the believer from the source of all despair, disillusionment, destruction, and death. It is further granted the beBeliever, in Christ, you have a new liever, access to the realm of health, life that is born from above, sustained wealth, favor, blessing and abunfrom above, and guided from above. dance. To see the believer settle for the fragmented remains of a broken condition, never actualizing the fullness of the Father’s will and provision is disheartening.
May this season of your Christian experience be marked by spiritual proficiency, and an excellent pursuit of and passion for manifesting the will of our Father.
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.
THE BURDENS OF UNFORGIVENESS Lady Lisa Jones
LADIES Ministry was facilitated by Sister Roz Bennerman Luke 23:33-34(NKJ),, “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”
Forgiveness – to give up resentment against or the desire to punish; stop being angry with; pardon. To give up all claim to punish or exact penalty for (an offense); overlook. To cancel or remit (a debt). Webster’s New World Dictionary “To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.” C.S. Lewis “Bitterness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” Unknown author 1. First we must acknowledge that we have unforgiveness. Many times unforgiveness gives way to various feelings such as bitterness, resentment, revenge, hatred, anger, etc. Ephesians 4:26-27(NKJ), “Be ye angry, and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath; Neither give place to the devil.” 2. Forgiveness is a CHOICE that we make through our obedience to the FATHER as HE has commanded. We forgive by FAITH. Ephesians 4:31-32(NKJ), “Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Colossians 3:13(NKJ), “Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” 3. Forgiveness looses negative feelings. Forgiveness also allows blessings in ones life. Matthew 18:18(NKJ), “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever
Roz Bennerman
ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” 4. Forgiveness is a command as well as a conscious and persistent pursuit. Matthew 18:21-22(NKJ), “Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him: till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.” I Peter 3:11-12(NKJ), “Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” 5. We know we have truly forgiven when we pray for our enemies as Jesus did. Luke 23:34(NKJ), “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.” 6. Lastly, we must not rejoice when our enemy stumble or fall. Proverbs 24:17-18(NKJ), “Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth; Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.” Corrie Ten Boom, a Christian woman who survived a Nazi concentration camp during the Holocaust, said, “Forgiveness is to set a prisoner free, and to realize the prisoner was you.” We Experience PEACE when we FORGIVE Roz Bennerman

BENEVOLENCE MINISTRY Warm greeting to all covenant partners, family and friends. My wife and I stand together with a powerful Benevolence team ministry that provides all the principles and support that will enrich and enhance the growth of our covenant partners and families. We truly believe if you give a man a fish; you have fed him only for today. Teach a man how to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime. There are two choices to make when it comes to stabilizing you’re your budget plans. You can do absolutely nothing at all and let your hard working earnings go to the mercy of whatever circumstances arise. Some people will do nothing and will end up with nothing but more struggles and nothing to show for it. If this is you take the simple principle one step at a time. I assure you, the outcome will be a great sense of pride and accomplishment, and you will develop a new peace within your mind and in your spirit. Hosea 4:6 For my people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. Our idea of benevolence is, temporarily assisting our partners who are experiencing financial burdens. In such situations there are no other resources for them, except church intervention. It is our primary objective to assist widows and orphans (fatherless), according to the scripture. Benevolence is not intended to be used rapaciously by someone with a selfish spirit of greed, trying to put forth the effort to sustain themselves by becoming co-dependent upon the funds or this system for their own gain. At this time Benevolence is only for covenant partners. This system will not be used without instruction and accountability. Services: 1. Benevolence Assistance. 2. Computer Technical Training. 3.

Upon This Rock Prophetic Training Institute An entity of Reviving the Stone Prophetic Ministries Founder, Prophetess Michelle Guess Love in the Heart of a Prophet: Overcoming Prophetic Stereotypes “All women nag!” - “Men just cannot be trusted!” - “Blacks don’t read.” “Whites drive pickups and carry shot guns.”
Prophetess Elect Mary Ibitoye Oh my! Who would make such offensive general izations, otherwise known as stereotypes? In reality people don’t make these statements, we simply think them and they become the mindset which we interact with others. A stereotype is an oversimplified standardized image of a person or group, which is usually erroneous, incomplete, and tends to deteriorate comradery. Sadly, stereotypes have crept into every aspect of society and daily life, including the church. One of the fivefold ministry areas that have suffered greatly from stereotypes is the prophetic office. There are three major stereotypes that surround prophets: 1) prophets should be feared 2) prophets don’t have to walk in love and can be rude and; 3) prophets can judge and condemn people. I love to watch people and in doing so, I have observed modern day prophets walk around, with their chins up, a stern look, and an unapproachable demeanor while tongue lashing an unsuspecting soul. In response, I have seen the church totally dismiss the prophetic office on the grounds that prophets have become like dinosaurs – extinct. Where did these stereotypes originate? Many modern day prophets can identify with prophets of old whose acts are documented in the Books of the Prophets from Isaiah to Malachi. We saw Prophet Elijah call fire down from heaven and kill four hundred fifty false prophets (1 Kings 19:30-38). We saw the Prophet Samuel, in carrying out God’s orders, killed King Agag (1 Samuel 15:33; 1 Kings 19:40). In addition, Elisha cursed young children because they made fun of him and a bear tore the children into pieces (2 Kings 2:23-24). These were some of the actions that led to the birth of these stereotypes. Overcoming these stereotypes The issue is lack of knowledge – not knowing what the Word says. What we don’t know actually kills us (Hosea 4:6). What we have failed to recognize is that the prophets of old operated under a different dispensation, which was governed by the Law of Sin and Death, so judgment was instantaneous. However, God has entered into a new covenant with all of us (Hebrews 8:613). Suddenly, we were divorced from the Law of Sin
and Death and grafted into the Law of the Spirit of Life (Romans 8:2). Well, what does all this mean? It means that prophets are not supposed to condemn others because “There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ” (Romans 8:1, 34) and “Who is he that condemneth, It is Christ that died. . .” (Romans 8:34). “Judge not, that ye be not judged . . .(Matthew 7:1). Secondly, prophets must walk in love. God says we must love our brother to prove that we love Him ( 1 John 4:20). We must speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). So yes, reproof and correction is still to be done, but we must not be rude because “. . . love does not behave itself unseemly. . .” (1 Cor.13: 4, 5). Finally, prophets should not be feared because “God did not give us a spirit of fear. . .” (2 Timothy 1:7). We know that “. . . perfect love casts out fear. . .” (1 John 4:18). “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. . .” (Romans 8:15). What should the prophetic look like? You may be wondering if the prophetic is not defined by these stereotypes, then what is it supposed to look like? Let’s look at an example. In Luke 9:54-56: And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt though that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. In summary, God intended for the prophetic office to work in conjunction with other ministry gifts for one purpose – to help bring his body to maturity in the knowledge of God and fullness of our faith (Ephesians 4:11-15). It does not eliminate the jurisdiction of the prophetic office, but rather, simply refines the expression of it. Upon this Rock Prophetic Training Institute cultivates and mentors prophetic vessels into their destiny.

UR TIME IS NOW!!!!
SHHHHHHH!!!!!! There is a great song by Philips Craig and Dean called “Let my words be few” it goes like this: You are God in heaven And here am I on earth So I’ll let my words be few Jesus, I am so in love with You Chorus: And I’ll stand in awe of You, Jesus Yes, I’ll stand in awe of You And I’ll let my words be few Jesus, I am so in love with your The simplest of all love songs I want to bring to You So I’ll let my words be few Jesus, I am so in love with You Such a great worship song, but why would we be quiet when God has been so wonderful? Shouldn’t we be “Filling His house with praise.” ? Ecclesiastes 3 shows us there is a time for everything. Then 2 chapters later in chapter 5: 1-2 it shares a different perspective of a worship service. Eccl. 5:1&2 (Message Bible) 1
Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. 2
Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
Don’t get caught up all the time in just coming to church and yelling before God without stopping to listen. Why do you think He “God in Heaven” doesn't know what your going threw “here on earth”? The next time your in worship do yourself and God a favor stop to listen to Him. Be of few words and be of much listening. Don’t come in with to offer a sacrifice of praise without drain near fist to hear what He has to say about everything. We don't know everything to not let Him speak into our lives. Young and Old we need to learn to control ourselves and when we come into the house of God, we must listen. Watch what we do like it says in verse one “Guard your steps” protect what steps we take when entering into Gods house. Worship on your way in and listen while your in as we worship together.

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!
