The Vision of the “Voice of Manifestations” Newsletter is to communicate the various events to our partners and the community. Thus, it helps to build and enhance relationships between the two. The newsletter is also a mechanism to evangelize, encourage, build and lift up. The Voice focuses on the four aspect of Manifestations Worldwide, which are Spiritual Trainings, Education, Job and Housing. Our prayer is that God is touching someone’s life through the Voice of Manifestation Newsletter (VOM). Ultimately, our desire is to be obedient to the commission God has given us; to go and spread the gospel. All we need is an audience; someone that is interested, ready to listen, with a heart to receive. Many go door to door; but VOM newsletter travel email to email; across the country and around the world, seeking the heart in need of a word. And teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthews 28:20 (NIV)
Our Father Created by one hand Through the womb of a woman A seed of life is sown That in His image we are grown We are a child of the Groom In His house there is much room As we share in His love Connected by His precious blood In our Fathers presence Lies an atmosphere of reverence A moment of time without regret For there our promises are met With our Father there is peace His warm love it never cease He knows our every need The bread of life is our feed Our Father we thank You for life We thank You for calling us sons Your word keeps us alive As Your will on earth is done Written by Jennifer Grant
My first reality of divorce was hearing the words: “I don’t want you anymore’, and ‘It’s over’. All of which were words that hit me like my heart being stabbed with a knife. The only thing left was to die physically, because emotionally, the pain of those words felt like death.
I then believe the lies the enemy told me, and I accepted them: You’ve failed God God is angry with you because you divorced You are going to be punished by God because you didn’t keep your vows No other man will want you Your mother and father abandoned you, see you have been abandoned again There are many women who have had these or have similar thoughts, or listened to other lies the enemy told you which lead you to misguided responses to these lies. After my divorce was finalized in 2010, these lies played over and over in my mind. I began to equate my self-worth to someone else’s ability to stay married to me. An attempt to connect with my former church’s Recovery Ministry proved unsuccessful, so again I was left feeling hopeless.
In 2014, I became a Partner with CFM, and shortly afterwards began to work in the Empowerment House and with the Invasion Team. By serving, I was distracted from my pain and hurt and was able to serve others; however, the pain was still there. What I loved about being a partner is everyone made me feel valued by showing me love regardless to what my history was. I was introduced to the Divorce Ministry ‘Live Again’ and was willing to give the ministry try; however the residual effects of my previous attempts to connect to a recovery ministry caused me to be cautious. Going through ‘Live Again’ was difficult at first because it required me to revisit some pains and hurts that I suppressed, but this experience helped me to process things I had not dealt with since my divorce finalized. What I learned is that I must be willing to apply the lessons which were taught to get the healing I so desperately needed. My advice to women who have experienced divorce, even if you have been divorced for a few years (like me), is: ‘you may still need to face the deep pains of your divorce.’

In this ministry, you will have a safe place to discover areas where you thought you had healed, but will find there is work to do. You can begin the process of facing the realities of your divorce, accepting any responsibilities, and learn how to apply the different lesson values taught. Most of all, I encourage you to connect with the ministry withholding nothing while learning so you will not hinder your healing.

This month’s article is taken from the Teacher’s Guild class held on Saturday. Our current focus is on: Bible Study Tips and Guidelines, and at the end of the class we discuss a particular topic. The topic we studied is called: “The Gold Process”, I will share with you just a portion of what we discussed. The Gold Process Did you know that there are 419 scriptures in the Bible where Gold is mentioned? Did you know that Gold is actually edible? (Well, it depends on the form it is in!)
According to Francis Key, founder and scientist of the Colloidal Scientific Laboratory, Inc. in his article entitled, “A Brief History Of The Health Support Uses Of Gold,” he writes: The earliest records of the use of gold for medicinal and healing purposes come from Alexandria, Egypt. Over 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians ingested gold for mental, bodily and spiritual purification. The ancients believed that gold in the body
worked by stimulating the life force and raising the level of vibration on all levels. The Alchemists of Alexandria developed an "elixir" made of liquid gold. They believed that gold was a mystical metal that represented the perfection of matter, and that its presence in the body would enliven, rejuvenate, and cure a multitude of diseases as well as restore youth and perfect health. In medieval Europe, gold-coated pills and "gold waters" were extremely popular. Alchemists mixed powdered gold into drinks to "comfort sore limbs," which is one of the earliest references to arthritis. During the Renaissance, Paracelsus (1493-1541) - who is considered the founder of modern pharmacology, developed many successful medicines from metallic minerals including gold. One of the greatest alchemists/chemists of all time, he founded the school of Iatrochemistry, the chemistry of medicine, which is the forerunner of pharmacology. In the 1900s, surgeons would often implant a gold piece under the skin near an inflamed joint, such as a knee or elbow. As a result, the pain would often subside or cease altogether. In China, the restorative properties of gold are still honored in rural villages, where peasants cook their rice with a gold coin to replenish the mineral in their bodies, and fancy Chinese restaurants put 24karat gold-leaf in their food preparations.
The book of Exodus chapter 32 verses 19-20 reads: 19
When they came near the camp, Moses saw the calf and the dancing, and in terrible anger he threw the tablets to the ground, and they lay broken at the foot of the mountain. 20 He took the calf and melted it in the fire, and when the metal cooled, he ground it into powder and spread it upon the water and made the people drink it. The book of Exodus chapter 32 verses 19-20 reads: 19
When they came near the camp, Moses saw the calf and the dancing, and in terrible anger he threw the tablets to the ground, and they lay broken at the foot of the mountain. 20 He took the calf and melted it in the fire, and when the metal cooled, he ground it into powder and spread it upon the water and made the people drink it. Here are a few interesting facts about pure Gold:
Only God can create Gold Gold is consistent There is no inferior Gold It’s shapeable It’s indestructible It’s imperishable It withstands sea water It does not tarnish It resists acid It’s transitional metal (transition means passage from one state, stage, subject or place to another; change; a movement, development or evolution from one form, state or style to another) Earth’s Gold lives at its core Gold is non-toxic and non-irritating
Gold- definition – (AU) – Least reactive chemical element; solid under standard conditions; maintained without tarnishing in air or water Gold – Latin – name means shining or glowing dawn.

There are several processes in the refining of scrap gold or mined gold. Although, modern processes are used today with the use of machines, the process incorporates the same means:
Ephesians 5 says, 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Filtering Test – to filter out impurities Salt Test – to extract silver
(These are not in the order they are used to refine Gold) Acid Test –to burn off impurities Fire/Boiling Test – turns Gold into liquid under flame (1900- 2000 degrees!) I Corinthians 3:13 (KJV) says, 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 1 Peter 1:7 (KJV) says, 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. Cooling down period – Water is added – impurities are skimmed away by hand
Matthew 5:13 says, 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Molding Test – Liquid Gold is poured into a mold and set aside to cool and harden End Result – Pure Refined Gold This is just a brief excerpt from the Teacher’s Guild class. Next month I will share another topic we studied from Class #3.
