breast cancer awareness month edition
DESCRIPTION
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!!! In honor of all women survivors "THINK PINK"TRANSCRIPT
Dr. Mark T. Jones
Apostle & Founder
Manifestations Worldwide Inc.
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 maximiz-
ing 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 pur-
pose in life and launch their destiny.
Christian Celebrity is perhaps the most contra purpose term that I have ever heard of.
The bible says that the Master of the universe, made Himself of no reputation, taking on
the form of a servant, and humbled himself even unto the point of death, while doing so
in complete anonymity to manifest the Father’s will of creating a way of redemption for
all mankind.
Yet it seems that in the church, some people take great delight in pumping, pushing, and
flattering man’s ego to his demise. Making of him a Christian idol in the church. Refus-
ing to see the humanness of the broken vessel being used by God, until God allows
something to happen that is rather distasteful, either in actuality or in perception.
It seems only then, do we scurry back to an appropriate way of reasoning about one an-
other, and only then do we examine our own proclivity for failure.
It is my prayer that the church will learn to enjoy the fellowship of the Spirit, the beauty
of brethren dwelling together in unity, and the sobriety of respecting the varying roles
and assignments in the body of Christ without allowing IDOLATRY to seep into our
midst.
Lord grant us the glorious grace that causes us to walk humbly and to choose
SIMPLICITY
Many have heard the old saying “when life gives
you lemons make lemonade”. But a new one I will
add is “when life gives you lemons squeeze the
juice in the enemies eyes”. Many of us have gone
thru things in this journey of our existence and
wondered how can or will I ever recover from it
and how can apply this to the purpose of God in
my life.
2co 1:3Blessed be God, even the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the
God of all comfort;
2co 1:4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation,
that we may be able to comfort them which are in
any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we our-
selves are comforted of God.
2co 1:5For as the sufferings of Christ abound in
us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
2co 1:6And whether we be afflicted, it is for your
consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the
enduring of the same sufferings which we also
suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your
consolation and salvation.
All of us want life to be better or want to be con-
vinced that it will be. When God looks over our
life will he find us still dwelling in the painful
place that he knows that he healed and delivered
us from, the place where we are no longer in cap-
tivity to the things that once had us bound, from
the painful things that have happened to us or will
he truly find in the place where we are comforting
others.
Satan has from the beginning of time have been
trying to maim or disfigure us in order to keep us
from resting in the perfect will and peace of God.
Mt 15:30And great multitudes came unto him,
having with them those that were lame, blind,
dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them
down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
Mt 15:31Insomuch that the multitude wondered,
when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to
be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see:
and they glorified the God of Israel.
Because of the “LEMONS” have you ever felt that
you were not good enough to serve God or for God
to use? Do you ever look at some of the lifestyle
choices you made and feel inadequate? Are you
struggling in an area of your life right now that
causes you to question whether you are valuable to
God or the people around you. Rahab is a key ex-
ample to remind us that no matter what your cir-
cumstance or mistakes or even your inadequacies
were God will honor whatever steps of faith we
take. Yet, if we think about Rahab's life, her faith
shines even brighter. She is an outcast, a prostitute.
Rejected by society, she still trusts that the Lord
will not reject her.
GOD USED THE “LEMONS” FROM RAHAB’S
PAST MISTAKES AND HER CHARACTER
FLAWS
What will he do with the lemons of your past?
DON'T LET YOUR PAST KEEP YOU FROM
GOD’S BEST FOR YOUR LIFE
So again what ever lemons satan has dished at
you , remember God can make lemonade.

Sister Jennifer Cole
Discontentment is a negative feeling
It leaves you in a state not so appealing
All your fun and pleasures are taken
Causing you a sad awakening
It comes to steal, kill and destroy
Your every dream it shall deploy
It's only by God's mercy and grace
That you are sustained through the maze
Uncontrollable emotions is the flow of the day
While life threatening shots are being fired
Dodging the bullets with the word as we pray
Oh lord to you I come weary and tired
DIS. is a negative activity from the devil
CON. is the follow up strategy to get you on his side
TENT. is what he builds to cover you with his lies
Then his desires are played out in your life exactly how he
MENT it to be.
So Lord we pray that in your love we stay
Give us humility and temperance all the way
That in only YOU our hearts will be CONTENT.
DIS-CON-TENT-MENT
Hi! My name is Donna Dorfer, I am from Syracuse,
N.Y. I moved down to Florida 11 years ago to go to
bible school and I have been here every since.
I started coming to CFM about 4 months ago. I learned
about this ministry through the television broadcast.
From the first time I came, I felt the presence of God. I
had been looking for a church home and it didn't take
long before I knew I had found it. I love how warm
and welcoming the congregation is and how free they
are to worship. Each week as I come to church, I feel the layers peeling off and my
mind being renewed. I am amazed and blessed by the variety of powerful gifts the Lord
has placed in Apostle Mark! His love, humility and self sacrifice is a great example for
me. I loved the teaching series about the finished work of Christ. I need to hear it again
and again and know it is foundational for life and ministry. I will begin attending the
Deliverance Team Training. I do not know all the reasons God has brought me here but
I do know His plans are always good and I am looking forward to all He has!

HEALTHY CHALLENGE COOK OFF “So, You Think You Can Cook!”
The Healthy cooking sample day was a success.
Participants had a chance to “Taste and See” that a typical
meal that is normally prepared in an unhealthy way, could be
prepared healthy while maintaining the taste and flavor.
The first CFM cooking team had a chance to showcase their
healthy cooking skills and explain to the participants how
they prepared their meal.
The participants had a chance to sample the meal and evalu-
ate it in four categories: Taste, Presentation, Creativity, and
Educational Crossover.

Hello CFM family! I had a wonderful experience with the CFM healthy cook off. I tasted some wonderful but simple dishes that were 100% healthy and surprisingly very tasteful. As some of you know, I have been blessed to find a ministry that teaches eating and liv-ing healthy from God’s perspective. Temple Maintenance Ministry at CFM is on the move and doing just that. Since I have been here I have already lost between 65-80 lbs. I am not telling the pounds until I have reached my goal. But as a result of their diligent efforts to teach us how to be healthy I have been able to do great things to help my eating hab-its. I learned on the day of cook off tasting that I can eat healthy and enjoy it. I had two helpings and did not feel full or stuffed. But was very satisfied. Full course meal and a wonderful desert. Big ups, God bless to all who shared their recipes. Now I have a new full course meal and desert to add to my new life style change of eating healthy and lov-ing it. To the CFM TEMPLE MAINTAINTANCE MINISRTY “thank
you” (STAY ON THE WALL) - Vincent Shannon
To the Temple Maintenance team as well as the Wonderful chefs that prepared the first
round of the healthy cooking challenge. The dishes were wonderfully prepared. I enjoyed
the presentation of each individual. Truly it was an honor to be received as one of
your taste testers. I learned that if I take the time and do the research every meal I enjoy
can be cooked so that it is healthier and more beneficial to my body. Thank you so much,
I know that as you continue your challenge it will only get better each time.
Blessings,

Who are you? Stop take a couple of minutes
from reading any more of this and try to hon-
estly answer this question…
What’s your answer? Hard question to answer
huh? Not that simple. This question has reso-
nated in my spirit for the past couple of weeks
as we get geared up to teach this new series to
ESO.
It seems that as I thought of this, parts of me
screamed in disappointment or anger because
what I saw was not what I see in the scriptures.
Then other parts where tormented with the
thought of what I would have to give up in or-
der to look more like Christ. It was a battle of
the mind in the very sense of this thought.
I was listening to a song written by a rap artist
named Da’Truth and he poses this question to
the listening audience:
“If the Bible was re written and the writers put
me in it, I wonder how my life would read?”
Now ask yourself that, what would people
think? Would you be the David or a Golioath
in a story that others will read and be inspired
or disgusted? Would you be the Hero or the
Villain? Would you have a story of faith or
unbelief? Would you be generous or full of
greed?
Psalms 139:14 (NIV) “I praise you because I
am fearfully and wonderfully made; your
works are wonderful,
I know that full well.”
I praise God yes because even though I am dif-
ferent he still loves me. The problem I have
with this verse is God made me “Fearfully”
that is a word that is to mean in reverent awe
of God. Do I exemplify this to the world?
When I am in Wal-Mart do people get awe
struck because of their interaction with God as
they pass me by?
It goes on to say that I am “Wonderfully
made” as if I am perfect… God made me per-
fect and beautiful. Think about a car, just be-
cause its paint job is nice doesn't make it a nice
car, the engine that moves it must be good and
all things that work with it that make it a Car,
must be working as good as the paint job
looks. If not it’s a heap of metal and nothing
more.
When God made us He made the engine first
and that’s the wonderful part the outside ap-
pearance is just a bonus. Do I within myself,
set the example that was left when He made
me? Am I truly worthy of being “Wonderful?”
We all are to be what God wants us to be but
are we being that? Find out this month during
this new series.- P. Al
This is the season to

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 com-
ing 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 lat-
ter rains.
This is the season for the manifestation of the sons of God!
