INSIDE‌ Prevailing Words From the Apostle 1st Lady Lisa Jones The Poet’s Corner International Cuisine The Empowerment House Living In God’s Spotlight (and more)
Dr. Mark T. Jones Sr. Apostle / Founder Manifestations Worldwide, Inc. 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
Finding You As a leader, I encounter many people who have no clue as to who they are, nor do they understand what their life focuses should be. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR "WHO" YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR "DO" If you have having a problem sorting out who you are, here's how you find yourself: 1. Relationship-Be sure that you have prayed to receive Christ as Lord, know that being in the church your whole life does not give you a relationship with Christ. You must be born again! 2. Fellowship- you should have time during the day where you pray, study your bible, and worship. Relationship without fellowship will equate to emotional hardship. 3. Discipleship- you should always be learning of Christ and sharing with others your salvation experience. Never stop learning of Him, this is a major component of sustained growth. * * * *
Be real with yourself and keep all sin confessed. Never hold anything against anyone. Ask God to reveal His purpose for your life. Put your hands to something, and do it as unto the Lord.
4. Mentorship- you need someone to talk to, share with, vent to, and to get encouragement and development from. Not everyone can mentor you, but God has prepared someone that can. Pray that He reveals them to you.
Dr. Mark T. Jones, Sr.

The Voice of Manifestation
Women of God Experiencing Change From 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 ministry to the women we say that we are called to reach, basically because we cant 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.
Join First Lady Lisa the 2nd & 4th Thursday of each month at 7pm. for L.A.D.I.E.S. meeting! (at the Center)

INTERNATIONAL RECIPES
Yesmin Negron History of Jamaican Food Jamaica’s motto is "Out of Many, One People" and it's a saying that could equally be applied to the island's food. Residents have come from around the globe, bringing with them the cooking techniques, flavors, spices, and recipes of their homelands and blending them with the bountiful harvest of this tropical island. The result is some of the most flavorful cuisine in the Caribbean. The history of Jamaican food starts with the Spanish arriving in 1509 and driving out the original inhabitants (the Arawak Indians.) With the Spanish, came many slaves, which brought their cooking techniques, spices and recipes from Africa to the island. The Spanish Jews also arrived on the island, bringing in their unique dishes (one of the most famous being Escoveitch Fish.) These nations began to mix their recipes in with the island's local fresh produce and seafood choices, creating new dishes. In 1655, the Spanish lost Jamaica to the English, who brought in further additions to the cuisine choices and developed many new dishes on the island (the most famous, currently, is the Jamaican Beef Pattie.) The English also transformed much of the island into sugar plantations. When the slave trade was finally forbidden many immigrants began to join the island as laborers from China and East India. The Indian influence brought many of the Indian spices into the mix – which is why Jamaica is very famous for spicy food to this day.

DIRECTIONS Rice and Peas Camile Blair Boil the beans, garlic and salt until the beans are tender. Save three cups of the liquid. Place the beans and the three cups liquid in the pot along with the remaining ingredients. When it comes to a boil, add in the rice. Let it boil for 20 minutes and simmer when all the water has dissolved. Stir it with wooden spoon Jerk Turkey
Use a basting brush or a clean paint brush. Stir your mixture and start basting your turkey all over, inside, and out until all the mixture is gone. If you would like your turkey very spicy add more Jerk Seasoning. Place the turkey and all turkey parts in the roasting bag. Place your turkey in the roasting bag, in a large roasting pan. Place your turkey in the refrigerator for a least 1 hour before cooking, overnight would give the best results. Follow your baking instructions on the bag, the turkey came in or bake the turkey for three to four hour in a 375 oven. Take turkey out of the oven and let cool for about an hour. Remove turkey from the bag and place on a large platter. Save drippings to make rich gravy. Pour Turkey drippings in a large pan and bring to a rapid boil. In a bowl add ½ cup of flour and ½ cup of cold water. Stir flour and water together until all the lumps have been removed. Slowly stir in the flour mixture in the boiling turkey drippings. Reduce the heat and simmer until the gravy thickens, stir often. Place in gravy dish and serve with your Jerk Turkey. Volume 3 Issue 3

Living in God’s Spotlight...
Greetings Manifesting Sons of the Most High God! I am Tanya Johnson-Williams, Ministry Leader of the awesome Emerge Kidz (ages 3 to 6), and exciting BabEmerge “baby merge” (ages infant to 2) ministries. I am a native of Tampa Florida; and was born and raised on Mac Dill Air Force Base until the age of 12. After my father retired from the military my family and I lived in the Ballast Point area. I am married to a wonderful man by the name of Rudolph (Rudy) Williams who has visited The Center For Manifestation (CFM) on several occasions, and is destined to become a called, appointed and anointed partner! Together, Rudy and I have nine adult children (4 boys and five girls), and over a dozen grandchildren with another one on the way. I have been a partner of CFM for about 15 months or so, and, during this time, it has been an absolutely amazing, transforming, and inspiring experience! To the degree that everything that my spirit man has ever hungered and/or thirsted for is being continuously served. The Father’s “table of plenty” has truly been laid out, and everything that He has is mine, and I have just been a feasting! Over the years, I have sat under some wonderful men and women of God, but He has, beyond a doubt, brought me to the Kingdom for such a time as this! Apostle Mark T. Jones is such a phenomenal man of God! To actually be able to witness how the marvelous Holy Spirit sounds down, through his yielded vessel, everything that the Father says as He’s reconciling the church unto Himself, every time he stands, is just indescribable! I have been with the Emerge Kidz and BabEmerge children’s ministries (previously Mt. Sinai) since August of 2007, and was appointed Ministry Leader in June of this year. At that time, I was actually at a crossroad, because even though I knew the importance of the ministry I did not necessarily want to lead it per se. Why? Because of the overall responsibility that is required. It is so much easier to back seat drive and/or preach from the pew, but when you’re in the driver’s seat and/or pulpit it is another story all together. Not only that, I totally understand the law of retribution, and was not quite ready to reap all of the seeds of judgment and criticism that I had sown over the years, however, “ready or not” it was time. Being a partner of CFM has helped me to grow up and spiritually mature, and to clearly understand that it is really not about me. It’s all about JESUS! So now (even though the flesh may struggle here and there), I willingly sit on the Potter’s wheel so that the Master Potter can make, break, and mold this pot of clay into the vessel of honor that He desires it to be. I would like to leave these words of total submission to The Potter’s will to the present and future partners of Manifestation World Wide: In His holy temple there are vessels used for Him Sanctified and set apart any other use is sin Now we are His temple and His vessels we’re to be Used only in His service to glorify the King Make me a vessel unto Thee Mold me Lord into what you’d have me be And if to make me You must break me and start on me again I’m willing Lord to be a vessel unto Thee IT’S TIME. Be Blessed!
