Manifestations Worldwide Vision

Our vision is to teach the end-times church of the essence of kingdom life, and to communicate deep, spiritual truths 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

Apostle`s Prevailing Word

The 10 Intelligences Quotes from Author: Brian Tracy I recently listened to an audio CD which gave me tremendous insight into why some people are extremely successful in what they do, and why others do not find any measure of success. Now, normally I use these findings for my own spiritual development, but these were so powerful, and thought provoking that I was pressed to share them with you.

According to this author, there are 10 basic intelligences, and a great key to success is discovering what your basic intelligences are, and focusing on, cultivating, and practicing the utilization of them.

Here is the list that he gave: Verbal: marked proficiency with the use of words Mathematical: proficiency in understanding equations Physical: proficiency in athletics Musical: proficiency in the music field visual-spatial: proficiency in architecture and design interpersonal: proficiency in relationships intrapersonal: proficiency in self awareness entrepreneurial: proficiency in business intuitive: proficiency of sense abstract: conceptual or scientific proficiency Now, I am not going to go through all of these, but I did notice a couple of these “intelligences” that I may be able to claim as my own.

For instance, intrapersonal intelligence is an amazing ability to know yourself so well, that you are actually are able to remain committed without distractions to that which is in agreement with the core of who you really are. Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to master all kinds of relationships, with all kinds of people. Lastly, at least for me, entrepreneurial intelligence is the ability to envision, formulate, and operate business concepts successfully.

I encourage you to look through the list, find your “intelligences”, and begin refining and utilizing them, so that you may attain a sense of personal effectiveness.

Dr. Mark T. Jones Sr.

Women of God Experiencing Change Dust to Dust Oh women lend me your ear, open your hearts and walk in the spirit of Christ. So what makes you the woman that you say that you are? Ok now before you go on listing all of your physical characteristics or tally up your chronological years or reminiscing over the birth of a child, that's not what I was asking? Basically your explanation of those things just make you aware that you understand the female gender. So many women get stuck in the paradigm of just the function of the gender and never come to understand their unique God-given role or purpose. We were formed from the dust of the earth, evolving back to the dust. So many women get stuck in what the enemy intended for us to do, by bringing divisions through stereotypes about us to one another, through things like cattiness, strife's betrayal, and making us feel like we cant trust each other.

Many of us never accept the call and purpose of our ministries to be able to minister to the women we say that we are called to reach, basically because we can’t get pass the "women". Many are unable to share from the healed areas in fear that their testimony or intentions will be misaligned or misunderstood. Please realize that who the "Son has set free is free indeed.

True freedom brings you to the platform to be able carry out your purpose.

Its Not Too Late

Sis. Jennifer Cole

Here we are shooting like a comet star Then life gets too much for our plate. Don't forget it's not too late to call upon His name, There is no need to be ashamed. When He answers you His replies are only true. It's not too late when you trip or fall Just remember we've got the call So while you have the time Catch your grip and step back in line No it's not too late Cause right there is your open gate. It's not too late to recant your step Yes this is a positive help Just visualize what's going to be your fate Sometimes just a second is what it will take But no it's not too late So without pondering and wavering Just consider who's child you are Then it won't matter what tomorrow will bring We have the power and utmost control To stay within the fold No it's not too late Because OUR GOD is GREAT.

INTERNATIONAL RECIPES

HISTORY Haiti is situated in one of the regions that many consider to be paradise on earth. The cooking styles of this enchanted land are closely related to the previous affirmation. An interesting mix of African cooking styles combined with the refinement of French cooking make the Haitian cuisine something no cook or food enthusiast should miss. Haiti is too small to offer distinct regional cooking styles and noticeably different cuisines in the parts of the country. Since it does not have a dominant neighbour that would influence it, Haiti has picked up different cooking styles that are now harmoniously blended with the African and French major influences. Visitors and locals alike enjoy the roast goat called 'kabrit', the fried Pork 'griot' or poultry with a Creole sauce 'poulet creole', to name just some of the most popular meat dishes. Haiti displays a general coastal cuisine, with fish meat, lobster, shrimp and sea-food readily available. Fruit including guava, pineapple, mango, banana, melons, breadfruit is often used in fruit salads, compotes or other delicious desserts. Sugarcane is often prepared and sold on streets and enjoyed at home as well as a tasty treat or snack. Coconuts are often the number one choice when it comes to beverages.

In Haiti Christmas is called NoĂŤl. This comes from the French phrase "les bonnes nouvelles," which means "the good news" and refers to the gospel. Traditionally, a few days before Christmas, Haitians would cut pine branches to serve as Christmas trees or they would go to the market and get freshly cut trees brought from the mountains. They would then decorate them with bright ornaments. At the base of the Christmas tree they would add a fairly large nativity scene which could occupy a large part of the living room. They depicted a cave manger, with Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, the wise men, and sculptured stable animals complete with hay or spanish moss (Bab panyol).

Look Who’s “Newly Wed” in God’s Spotlight!!!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Anthony Jerome Mapps November 7, 2008

Together, we viewed Genesis 24th chapter as a love story. Our journey became an Isaac and Rebecca experience in modern times. Our intention was not to overlook our church family and friends but to obey the instructions given to us. Our experience proves that the bible is a living epistle that can and will manifest and duplicate itself again and again, that’s God's intention. The test is this, will there be someone in the earth to say “yes?”… The yes cost you more than you will ever imagine but the benefits are everlasting. We chose to be guided by the Master Potter through the instructions of the Word of God and every word spoken out of the mouth of our spiritual leader Apostle Mark T. Jones Sr. We believe that the way is already seen by him through the eyes of the spirit of God in him. We also trust that as our leader, he speaks the prevailing Word into our future and our destiny is revealed and made manifest. It is our encouragement to you that you only desire to continue to obey. WE WILL!!!

Let Destiny Unfold and be made Manifest!

Genesis 24:51 Rebekah is before you; take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son, as the Lord has said.

Mothers (Standing): Georgia Stringfield – Mae Frances Graham Mothers (Seated L to R): Kathleen Ransom, Mary Wynn, Zoriada Walters It was a blessing to be able to fellowship with the Mothers of Manifestation during our interview. The Mothers of Manifestation are Mother Georgia, Mother Ransom, Mother Mary, Mother Walters and Mother Graham. They work together in the Nursing Home Ministry, Greeters Ministry and Hospitality Department. Mother Georgia coming from an AME church has been a partner of CFM for about 2 years, (has served as mother for 1 year.). She expressed gratitude toward the CFM family because of the love that she receives. Mother Ransom previously served as a Missionary at an AME church, she has been a partner of CFM for 8 years and is the leader of the Bereavement Ministry. Mother Walters has been a partner for 2 years enjoys praying for the saints daily. Mother Graham a partner for 4 years, ssays she has been called “Mother Graham” since she became a partner. She is connected to the Children’s Ministry is also part of the Emerge team and the cooking class which is offered through CFM’s Empowerment House. She thanks God that she is able to be part of what God designed her to be and to be able to impart into the lives of others. Mother Mary has been a partner for 7 years enjoys making the people of God feel welcomed and loved. These Mothers of Manifestation also mentioned that Apostle Jones and First Lady Lisa Jones have been a blessing to them because of the never-ending, Christ- like love shown towards them.

I can tell that the Mothers of Manifestation have in common that they love to hug, see the people of God grow spiritually and help others in many areas that they have need of. The Mothers of Manifestation are great influence to the people of God. The message they are sending is Ro 12:1- I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, Pagethat 9 Volume 4, Issue 4 that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

I want to encourage all CFM partners to experience “Time Well Spent” with our Mothers of Manifestation!

“This is the Season for the Manifestation of the Sons of God”

Into All the World

By Prophetess Michelle Guess

The India Missions Experience Let me begin by giving God all the Glory, Honor & Praise for allowing me to attend such an awesome end time move of the Kingdom Apostolic Movement in India. I’m grateful for the supporters as well as our team that executed our strategic assignment with confidence and excellence. I must admit, I’m just now beginning to settle into the awesome work the Lord accomplished while we were there.

As I meditate upon this mission I’m convinced after entering my 3rd International trip none of them are the same and they all individually require something different. Let me say this, Missions is not a vacation it’s a spiritual assignment that one must be spiritually prepared for. It was humorous upon return to share our experiences of not having a restroom or being seen without make-up, driving for long periods of time, walking long distances and sometimes wearing the same clothes more than once, and in some cases eating with your hands what has been presented to you according to the word of God (and that is receiving it with prayer & thanksgiving). There were so many memorable moments of this journey especially the opportunity to enter the canal to baptize new converts. This was my first experience baptizing so, I will never forget the facial expressions or bursts of joy heard from the mouths of those baptized.

Page 10

The humility and servitude of the Pastors will also be remembered, Pastors in India serve without shoes on!

Visiting the churches was indescribable each church had its own identity and full to capacity, I even noticed one of their microphones was made from a flash light, (sounded good to me) The hungry for prayer and their faith to receive the blessing of God imparted into their congregation as well as their Children, the Children sought diligently to receive the blessing from God by the laying on of hands. The gifts of the spirit are normal operations to us because of the multitude of needs that arise. The Ordination service was outstanding not only in the attendance but the expectation that was in the atmosphere was breathtaking. The excitement of knowing the Pastors can now preach the gospel openly, baptize and have Christian marriage ceremonies is a awesome privilege that each ordained Pastor has received Hallelujah! The hospitality was very memorable especially the genuine humility each of the women conveyed as they served us, (we didn’t go to do all the imparting) they imparted some valuable tools to us as well, on serving with excellence and humility. They serve with little and you can’t tell through them it’s little which humbled me (again) I’m learning you don’t need what you always think you need to impact the lives of others, only what God deems as necessary is what you need! The women in India dressed very elegantly in their attire, also, notice the way women ride motorcycles in India in the Photo presented, they sit sideways not straddled, such elegance! Again, a memorable moment was when they measured us and had sown for us in a day the beautiful garments that you see in the picture, they were blessed to see us smile, they gave us matching bracelets and fresh flowers for our hair leaving us with experiences of beauty we will never forget. The journey before ending was the farewell services when the Pastors’ brokenness and humility couldn’t be hid through the words of gratitude, gifts & tears presented on behalf of FBCM India team to Dr. Jones and the team. There are not many words that can describe the experience but I can guarantee you, You will know after you receive the reward for being a blessing to the ministry. Coming home was a little difficult ( I indeed missed my family and was ready to return) but the burden and compassion felt for the team weigh heavily on your heart because they genuinely want to serve God and Know him intimately. My prayer is that our focuses remain Kingdom oriented and not worldly, for the Kingdom of God is truly at hand and we must be about our father’s business.

Will your heart and soul say yes?

Temple Maintenance Ministry Emerson & Leola Tillman

“Disease is Impersonal” The word disease means lack of ease – dis-ease. Abnormal, absence of a normal condition.

As believers it is necessary for us to know and be mindful of the fact that disease is not an entity. Disease is an impersonal thing, attempting to operate and personify itself in the mind and body of the one who has it, and as an actual experience to the one who is suffering from it.

Disease is an experience operating through people, this experience does not belong to the believer at all. It is neither person, place nor thing. There is no spiritual law to support it and nothing in the character of God to accommodate it. The bible tells us that we were made in the image and likeness of God and that we were healed and are healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Is 53:5; -I Peter 2:24.

We are “the healed” protecting our health.

In Proverbs 4:20-22 Solomon speaks of words of wisdom and instruction he received in his father’s house that could possibly bring health to his flesh – if he finds them. Even though he could see them and had them in the midst of his heart, he still had to attend to the words and incline his ear to the sayings of his father.

Attend and Incline: to attend means to look after; watch, to apply oneself, to take charge of.

Whereas to incline means to tend in character or in course of action.

It is so important that we do not open doors upon ourselves by practicing improper eating habits and lack of personal care to the Temple of God which we are to steward. Take heed to the word of the Lord, deny your flesh for at least 24 hours each week during our Tuesday corporate fasting and prayer. This simple act of obedience produces tremendous discipline while enhancing your spirit, soul and body.

To your Health and wholeness!

Mt 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.

On Thursday November 27th 2008 from 10am to 4pm a group of partners of The Center for Manifestation met at Manifestation Empowerment House for Thanksgiving celebration. The CFM family reached out to those in the local community who are in need. Manifestation Empowerment House demonstrated ‘Thanksgiving� to those who were in need of clothing, shoes, toys, water and a hot plate of food. This was an excellent event, giving an opportunity to evangelize.

Bro. Anthony Beckham prayed as the Holy Sprit lead him. While helping to distribute clothing, he also ministered the word of God. Bro. Bill Giblins made sure that every one that came in felt welcomed as they signed in. Sis. Denise Giblins, daughter Jessica Giblins and Bro. Chance Russell helped to keep the clothing together, keeping everything in order. Linda Anderson, Rita Lewis, Keith Freeman, Shirley Vereen, Elder Floyd Walters & Eddie Poe Jr. helped with serving the food. Kathy Bess, Sylvia Johnson, Marlene Williams, Kogee Gray, Dorothy Thornton, Rachel Eglais, Camile Blair, Bro.Marshall, Bro. Darrell Anderson, Jeannette Lewis and Delores Dupree assisted in many areas by organizing clothing, assisting with serving the food as needed, keeping everything clean and organized, praying, and giving words of encouragement to all.

Ministry leader Sis. Pailana Burke wishes to express her sincere appreciation for all the assistance and donations to the Manifestation Empowerment House Thanksgiving Celebration.

Together they make it happen!
