Page 1




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)


A Note from the Editor Dear Reader, As you know the focus of VOM is to communicate what is happening in the community, as well as to minister to those that are in need of a word and have an open heart to receive. This month we want to take this opportunity to remind you that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and that you still have an opportunity to receive eternal life. It is FREE... and as simple as:

A

Admit that you are a sinner

B

Believe that Jesus Christ is the son of

God and died for your sins C

Confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior

If this is what you believe and are ready to confess, repeat this prayer: “I know I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness Father. I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose from the dead. I trust and follow Him as my Lord and Savior. Guide my life and help me Lord, to do your will in Jesus name, Amen.” We encourage you to tell someone about “Eternal Life” and invite them to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. Proverbs 11:30- The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.




The Purpose of Convocation Holy Convocation is a sacred time ordained by God for the edification of the body of Christ. It has been observed by the church since the Old Testament. The Lord ordained seven holy convocations per year also known as the feast days. While we no longer observe the Old Testament feasts, we continue honoring the spirit and purpose of these sacred meetings at our annual convocation. So what is the purpose of convocation? The purpose is threefold. We are to remember, rehearse and to rest.

Today, our Apostles, Pastor's and Prophets lead us in this recital by casting the vision of the house, laying out the directives of the coming year and dismantling strongholds/mindsets which are not in line with faith in Jesus Christ. This is the portion of convocation where we are presented with the blue print for body and we examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith.

Convocation is also about rehearsing in the sense of recital or a re-hearing. In the Old Testament the priest would read the law of God to the people. This helped to reaffirm the terms of the covenant they had with God and to remind them of what

I encourage you to embrace this time of year with excitement and expectation. Sanctify yourselves because the Lord will do great things.

A Letter Unto the FBCM Family Mark, an Apostle of the Lamb- Jesus Christ unto the FBCM covenant family, who are blessed with Christ in God the Father. It is my greatest joy to see that you are all flourishing in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that the churches are abounding in the love of Christ. I write to remind you to continue to build the body of Christ holistically in the knowledge of Jesus Christ which will enable the believers to be in full assurance of rich rewards at the coming of our Lord. It is my admonition that you continue to confront error and teach the truth, using the scripture as a measuring line for what is right and accurate, because it is only truth that will stabilize and equip the soul of the believer. Contend for the purity of the body of Christ, in as much as we know that our Lord is soon to come, and we want to be found in Him, having not wasted our lives and soiled our garments. See that you do not overlook the spiritual disciplines of fasting, prayer, corporate worship and the study of scriptures, as these disciplines will assist the believers in cultivating the kind of lifestyles that please and honor God our Father. Charge all believers to walk in love, and to live offence free lives, lest Satan gain the advantage through your emotional short-sightedness. Until we meet again, may the love of God our Father, establish you so that your soul lack nothing that is needful for effective living.

Girls Empowered Mentally For Success, Inc. Minister Crystal Bailes CEO/ Founder Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Those were the last words from a friend to me as I made my transition to Florida in 1997. Brought up amongst Baptist Preachers in a house NOT focused on the Word, this scripture did not resonate with me at all. I lost my house, husband and job; where is God in this mess? Apparently He was with me every step of the way. The process by which I was set apart was long and arduous. God literally cast me down to Florida with nothing! I wasn’t in good health and I was NOT in my right mind. Slowly and intentionally He revealed His plan for my new self. As a new creature in Christ I no longer had the desire to drink or fornicate, after having been divorced for 15 years. I have a new existence and it is not in the flesh. In the realm of the spirit is where I can breathe. I am convinced that outside of His Atmosphere, His Grace, and His Love, I cease to existence. In 2003 I heard the Lord say take care of His daughters several times during service at a previous church I was attending. Everything I needed to learn in ministering to girls the Holy Spirit has taught me. He has sent me several mentors along the way to teach me about operating a non-profit organization.

has been my guide, and support. God strategically placed me in The Center for Manifestation in 2011 because of my kingdom assignment. Apostle Mark instructed me to join the FBCM during our initial meetings. In 2013 I began to attend the FBCM workshops and events. The information I received from the meetings has assisted me in improving our hiring practices, budget balancing, strategic prayer strategies, and capacity building. Although our ministry is not in a church, we perform our work to the glory of God. My Kingdom assignment is “Girls Empowered Mentally for Success,” also recognized by the acronym “G.E.M.S.” Our mission is, “Engaging elementary, middle, and high school girls empowering them to discover their passion and purpose through creativity and wisdom.” Our vision is “To create healthy transitions for girls everywhere.” Our programs and activities are currently ministering to hundreds of girls through the GEMS Programs in Hillsborough County. I have been broken under the weight of this assignment and made whole. During the past 12 years I have grown in His word and His Way. He has empowered me to set the captives free and lead the lost to their true selves in His image and likeness.

Apostle O’Neil Salmon Interview It almost seems instinctive that I would continue on the path to which I was raised. I was raised in the church and grew with an understanding that a life without God was not a life worth having. However, though I was secure in this understanding, it took several choices through my life to get me to this moment. I was raised in a traditional family home, but lacked the relationship needed with my parents. Thus, I began to look to others for the things I missed while being raised. I sought out many relationships and came up empty handed each time. It eventually became clear to me upon embracing many failed attempts at controlling my own life and destiny; that failure was to be not only a likely end result, but also a pre-cursor to death on all levels. At some point, I decided to engage the thought that Christ was necessary to place a halt to the madness that I was in. I ran long enough; and at about the age of 19 years old, I decided that I could go no further. Going to church was not a problem; in fact as I stated earlier, it was a part of my lifestyle; but God was not a secured part of my life. He wanted in. Thus the call to ministry and the answer to that call came through my final submission in that of yielding me over to Him. When I said “yes” to His will, I said

the same to a call to become greater and to do that which He called me to do. When asked “Why did I join FBCM?” I can only answer by stating, “I did not join; I was birthed through it.” Prior to meeting Apostle Mark T. Jones, I was a Pastor enslaved to doing ministry according to the sole pattern of which I was exposed to. I was indoctrinated, religious and marred to traditions in a way that could only be defined as “modern day slavery.” Oh, I had BIG Ideas of what could be, but the gulf between what could be and what was, was too scary to bridge the gap. It took one meeting in my Spiritual Father’s office to affirm that this man had what I needed. Here I am, with over 25 years of experience in doing church, feeling so empty going in to his office, but coming out both pregnant and full. Who I was before this encounter was violated; and I wasn’t ignorant to the choices that led up to that experience. I wanted more, because I was now hooked like an addict to the end of a pipe. It was fresh streams for me, and I was being revived. Fast forward in my experience; since that time till this moment, I’ve had numerous babies to be birthed and the mid-wife of a coach in my Spiritual Daddy there coaching me along.


FBCM has helped me as a guide to the establishment of our (My wife Pastor Georgia and I) own fellowship in Christian Ministry Partnership. Due to the mentorship provided by Apostle Jones, I have embraced my Kingdom Assignment and welcomed my spiritual sons and daughters. I gained my only spiritual parents, but also a spiritual family in FBCM. The collective of churches and ministries represented within have strengthened my belief in that “churches can work together without competition with each other.� To the one seeking covering, mentorship or development; look no further, but do look within this fellowship. Thank you for allowing this forum to share our collective experiences. I believe that someone reading

this has found himself or herself at a destiny moment. Today, their choices will influence their destiny. Today, they shall make a move for change!

commissioned by the Holy Spirit to this apostolic house- the Center for Manifestation (CFM), for fine tuning of her prophetic calling. Within a very short time, she was connected with the intercessory ministry-her heartbeat for God’s people. Throughout her life, she operated prophetically, however it was not cultivated and/or officially recognized until now! Since being at CFM, the Lord has caused a spiritual eruption within her spirit which has incited the “office” of the prophet to come forth! This has been evidenced publically via sermons, prayer, and consultations. As such, Dr. Hill has engaged in dialogue regarding these spiritual matters; including the manifestation of the prophetic in operation. This was typically followed by testimonies of the words spoken with accuracy through her by the Holy Spirit. After discussions with Apostle Mark T. Jones, Sr. concerning these spiritual matters, she was advised to follow Prophetess Michelle Guess to mentor her in the prophetic which included attending prophetic training classes as a prerequisite for confirmation/ordination.

Dr. Pamela Hill Vision: HisMinistry will mirror the character of God; love. “Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends” John15:13 HisMinistry will see people as God sees them. We will see their heart, working from the inside out. HisMinistry will minister to their spirit, soul and body.

Dr. Hill lifts up her voice like a trumpet in Zion delivering a mighty call of deliverance, healing, correction, warning, and comfort. Her greatest “joy” is to witness God’s people loosed, delivered, and set free! She believes that if there is to be any preaching from the pulpit, there must be prayer in the pews-for preaching and prayer go together. “Woe unto me, if I do not preach Several years ago, Dr. Hill relocated to Tampa, the Word and speak as an oracle of God’s Florida. In January 2012, she was strategically voice!”

Raymond Donell Williams Interview My name is Raymond Donell Williams and I am a native of Tampa, FL. I was born on June 13, 1972. I was raised by a single mother in the inner city, but spent most of my life growing up on a small farm in the country [Thonotosassa, FL] with cousins and other relatives. While most kids were riding bikes and playing ball, I found that I was attracted to more, well, let’s just say, more adventurous activities such as riding my grandfather’s hogs, chasing chickens, and throwing oranges and pears at passing cars for fun. Although these so called activities often times came with a very steep price tag, such as a real country whipping; now that I look back on it, I must say, the fun we had made it well worth the lashes we received. I lived with my biological mother as a child; however I was raised by my grandfather, who had become my hero. He was wise, disciplined, and extremely loving. My grandfather taught me how to work, and to never be afraid to go after my dream. When I was 13 years of age, my grandfather passed away after a long fight with what the doctors diagnosed as lung cancer. After the passing of my grandfather, my entire world shifted out of control. At age 14 I began selling and using

illegal drugs and countless of other activities that I am not proud to mention. My encounter and transformation came late one evening while out being involved in some not so healthy activities. In the moment that I was involved in what could have landed me in jail for quite some time, the Lord spoke to my heart. It was as if someone was standing beside me when I heard a voice say “that’s enough; it’s time to take it in, and change!” Though it scared the day lights out of me, at first, I ignored the voice. About 15 minutes later, I heard the voice again, with the same words “that’s enough; it’s time to take it in, and change!” That time, He had my attention! I stood speechless; shaking in fear, wondering, who was that? What just happened? Where is that coming from? I then asked the guys I was with, to take me home. It was one long scary night for me. The upcoming Sunday morning I told my (now) wife to get the kids dressed, “we’re going to church today.” She looked at me like she had seen a ghost (given my lifestyle and non-interest in church.) We went to church for several weeks before I begin to really seek God for change in my life.


There was one Sunday morning I went to church high on marijuana, as I had often done however, this particular Sunday was different. While on my knees during the morning prayer before morning service was to start, I began to cry and wail profusely, screaming to the top of my voice, “God, PLEASE change me! Take this away from me!” I had made a commitment that I was not moving until God touched me. After about an hour of screaming, crying, and pleading with the Lord, I felt a deep release in my heart. I felt peace, and safety. I have not always been a blameless obedient son, but I have loved the Lord deeply and my life has never been the same! I started serving in the correctional facilities. After serving as a volunteer minister in the county jail system for 5 years working with youthful offenders, I then transitioned and began serving in the adult jail facility. After serving in the adult jail system for 5 years, the Lord then placed me in the youthful felon prison system, where I served young men from ages 13-20. These were life changing experiences for me, to say the least. After serving as a volunteer assistant chaplain in the Hillsborough County Correctional Institution for three & half years, the Lord called me to birth and launch what is now known as Forbidden to Fail, a growing thriving church whose vision is “to be the church who Strengthens & Transforms the life of every human being with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Fellowship for Bible Centered Ministries; I first found out about FBCM when I attended a luncheon that was hosted by a pastor who was actually not a partner within FBCM, however he knew Dr. Mark Jones. I remember it like it was yesterday. When Dr. Jones spoke that day he spoke about fathering, designing and mining according to God’s blueprint. It was as if God Himself was speaking to my heart. I was not attracted to Dr. Jones’s anointing because I was looking for a way to build a great church, in fact, inwardly; I was done with church

and church routine. What I was searching for was deeper than church agendas. Deeper than another program. It was deeper than my needing to connect with a prophet, pastor or apostle. What I was searching for was a reason to stay alive! You see, I was ready to end it all. Give up the ministry, walk out on family, and abandon the will of God. I had no joy, no peace, no hope, no desire to go on, yet, I was leading others. After the session I approached Dr. Jones and shook his hand, looked him in the eyes and said, thank you! His response was simple, yet life changing. He simply said “bless you man!” At that moment I felt the power of the connection between a father and a son. Dr. Jones and I scheduled and met shortly after that day, and I joined the FBCM fellowship and have not considered disconnecting since. The FBCM has impacted not only my life concerning ministry, but it has challenged me to live a more productive and spirit filled life, personally. Connecting with other leaders who are moving in the same direction for the same cause (impacting the lives of others) has been an absolutely amazing journey! I would say to anyone who may be considering connecting with FBCM, make the connection! You will grow, your life will change, your ministry will grow and change and you will find out that while connecting with other passionate and effective leaders, you will be propelled into kingdom advancement! Daily I bless the Lord for the opportunity to touch the lives of others, and to assist in the strengthening and transformation of the lives of those who are broken, lost, and striving to honor the Lord. The Fellowship for Bible Centered Ministries has been, and continues to be a sustaining encouragement for me as I pursue the totality of the unfolding of God’s call upon my life! I am excited and humbled that God has chosen me to be a part of His wonderful and awesome plan in the earth.
