As servants of our Lord and guided by scripture: 2

Chronicles 7:14; If my people, who are called by

my name, will humble themselves and pray and

seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,

then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive

their sin and will heal their land.

Vision: The Lord will raise up 1,000,000 prayer

partners to join with us in non-political, non-

partisan 24/7 prayer during the conventions for the

leaders of our nation to seek wisdom and guidance

of the Lord for themselves and for our country.

Aim: To build a house of prayer consisting of

churches, Christian ministries, and individuals

from all peoples and nations; joining together as

living stones in non-partisan, non-political prayer

during the 2012 political conventions.

Vision Background: Forty to fifty thousand local,

state and national leaders, along with media and

delegates will be gathering in Tampa for the Re-

publican National Convention from August 27

thru 30, 2012. As residents of Tampa, we know

that because the Lord is gathering our nation's

leaders to our city, He has also given us the privi-

lege and responsibility to cover these men and

women in prayer. An equal number of leaders will

also be gathering in Charlotte, NC for the Democ-

ratic National Convention, to be held September 3

thru 6, 2012. We are reaching out to our brothers

and sisters in Charlotte to share in this calling to

lead a nation in prayer for our elected officials.

We are praying that during these conventions, the

Lord will raise up 1 million prayer partners to join

with us in non-political, non-partisan, 24/7 prayer

for the leaders and our nation to seek wisdom and

guidance of the Lord for themselves and for our

country. We understand that the future of our na-

tion is not dependent upon the leadership of any

one person or party, but upon God's people turn-

ing and praying to the One upon whose shoulders

all government rests (Isaiah 9:6). We also under-

stand according to Scripture that "the King's heart

is like channels of water in the Hand of the Lord.

He turns it wherever He desires” (Proverbs 21:1).

Therefore we have confidence in God alone

knowing that He is in Charge. We know that only

in Jesus will our nation find its hope and purpose.

Consequently, these conventions have created the

catalyst to gather his people together as one body

with one voice, crying out to Him alone for the

healing of our land.

Join us in 24/7 prayer for our leaders and nation.

In life we as women have gone through countless

things that work against our emotions. Throughout our

childhood, teenage years, and even in adulthood the

enemy’s strategy is to have us be emotionally unsta-

ble. In my younger days there was a lot of emotional

abandonment. So, at a very young age thoughts of

suicide began to enter into my life. The voices would

say, “’This’ is the answer to all of your prob-

lems. ‘This’ will stop the pain, and you don't have to

worry about if people love you anymore.” So, for

years I struggled with suicidal thoughts. In addition to

that, I didn't eat mainly because I didn't have an appe-

tite. I didn't want to live, so basically I was skin and

bones. I was always alone and in the house. I didn't

want to see the world that so easily rejected me with-

out a moments’ notice. I didn't talk a lot. I was very

quiet. Why talk when no one listens? I lived my life

in this dark cave and I didn't want anyone to come in.

And, to my surprise not very many wanted to come

into the inner world of turmoil I had within myself.

I went on living my life going through the motions,

but I didn't have the notion. On March 26, 1999, I

rededicated my life back to Christ; but, even then I

didn't have the answers to bring the stability and ma-

turity I needed in order to be sane. So, in my adult-

hood my thoughts went from suicidal to mur-

der. Before, as a child and teenager, no one lis-

tened. So, now as an adult I wanted revenge on the

people who wouldn't listen or love me like I thought

they should. So, I plotted a murder. I had planned to

go to prison, and I didn't care. In addition to my

“murderous thought” tendencies I was always giving

up inside. This is when I would feel my nerves shak-

ing in my body about to collapse. I'm a Christian

believer, but I didn't know how to grasp this sound-

ness of mind that I so desperately needed. I went to

many pastors, and leaders, but no one had the answer.

Prayer and fasting would only take me so far.

So, here again in my adulthood, I found myself still

dealing with an inner turmoil that no one could see.

One day I was determined I would find this inner

soundness. After asking pastors and leaders how to

obtain this inner peace, and never receiving an answer

that made sense, I set out to find God for myself. You

see, religion taught me I could have God, but I began

to realize I couldn't have the victory in God that I so

desired. Not only that, I wanted a closeness with him

that I wouldn't really obtain in the “religious”

church. So, on January 17, 2010, I found myself at

the end of my tunnel with no where else to go. This

was the first day of the rest of my life. For a year or

more I went through countless deliverances, mainly in

my mindset. I had a lot of rejection, abandonment,

pain, hurt, neglect, unforgiveness, bitterness, resent-

ment, and inadequacies in my soul that drove me like

a rented mule. I kept my face positioned on the floor

even to this day.

The Word was my guide to emotional wholeness and

stability. The Word was a lamp unto my feet and a

light unto my path. God visited me many times

through his Word, and brought constant reassurance to

me about where I was going.

I wanted to share this because a lot of times people see

you as you are now, and they don't know where

you've been; the journey that brought you to your

now.

I can tell you women of God, you can have emotional

stability in your life. You don't have to go off on eve-

rybody you see, and about everything. You can walk

in peace everlasting. You can live in a place where

you are abounding in the things of God. You can

have the real joy of the Lord. Wisdom will wrap itself

around you, and give you understanding. Even in the

toughest times He will give you the answers you need

to come through. My Apostle always says, "God

doesn't take delight in you being in darkness. He has

given us the answers to every situation".

God sent His son so that we can live an abundant life;

not just in heaven, but here on earth. Equip yourself

with the Word and allow it to sink down into the very

fibers of your soul. Be passionate about true repen-

tance and turning from old mindsets (2 Corth 7:10,

Rom 12:2). Be consistent in truth, and dispel every lie

(2 Corth 10: 4-6).

Come face to face with you, and God will help you

find you (Gen 32:22-32); the vibrant wonderful person

that you are (Ps 139:14).

Matthew 6:33, I Thes 5: 16 -18, Prov 3: 5-6, Phil 4:11

-12, Rom 12:12, 2 Cor 5:17, Prov 4:23

Prayer is a language straight from the heart

By giving God the glory, that's where we start

When we learn to speak it

Then all the nations will impart it

We are living in a world of temptation

Filled with deception and confusion

There are times that we are thrown against

a wall

Then we pray "Lord help me not to fall"

When offence comes our way

And we are lost for words to pray

We call on the Holy Spirit

To fill our mouths so we can speak it

Prayer in any language pulls us together

Even when the adversaries around us hover

With prayer there is no color

Whoever calls on Jesus, He will answer

Prayer is a language without any barrier

It gives us security in Jesus, our strong tower

It has no tongue twister

Its interpretation is clear to God, our listener

Jennifer Cole

PRAYER IS A LANGUAGE

Everyone struggles with

fear at some point in their life.

Fear can rob of us our joy and

the ability to embrace life’s full

potential. But there’s hope and

through God's word you can face

your fears every day with confi-

dence and courage to become the

woman of strength and dignity

that God wants you to be.

Queen Esther was an amazing

woman of strength and dignity.

God had a plan and a purpose for

her life. She knew exactly what

her purpose was and she saved

her people from death. So I sub-

mit a question to you. Is fear

taking away your joy or causing

you to doubt your purpose?

Ask God to show you what your

purpose is, call out to Him and

spend time with Him. He wants

you to pour out your heart to

Him. He wants you to bring all

your hurt and disappointments to

Him and lay them at His feet.

When you're afraid, angry or

frustrated, express that to God

and tell Him why. Jeremiah

29:11 tells us "For I know the

plans I have for you,” declares

the LORD, “plans to prosper you

and not to harm you, plans to

give you hope and a future."

My purpose is not to be one who

is afraid, but to be an encour-

ager, to pray for others, to be a

pillar of strength and a woman of

dignity. God reminds me that

His presence is my source of

strength.

A woman of strength is

courageous.

God commands of us in Joshua

1:9 to be strong and courageous;

not to be afraid or dismayed. He

tells us He is with us always.

"Have I not commanded you? Be

strong and courageous. Do not

be afraid; do not be discouraged,

for the LORD your God will be

with you wherever you go." NIV

It takes courage to have

been where you were and that

courage comes from the "fire"

you have gone through.

A woman of strength

had dignity.

God tells us in Proverbs 31:25

we are clothed with strength and

dignity.

She is clothed with strength and

dignity; she can laugh at the days

to come. Proverbs 31:25 NIV

Ladies, you can hold

your head high. You have noth-

ing to be ashamed of. You can

"laugh" at the days to come.

A woman of strength has

power.

He gives strength to the weary

and increases our power. Isaiah

40:29 NIV

But those who hope in the

LORD will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like ea-

gles; they will run and not grow

weary, they will walk and not be

faint. Isaiah 40:31 NIV

Isaiah chapter 40 is God's best

laid plan for us to increase our

power and renew our strength.

When we are weary; He gives us strength

and increases our power. He renews our strength

because we have hope. He gives us the ability to

soar on wings like eagles to lead the weary and

heal the broken.

God sees a woman of strength burning

deep within the embers of your ashes. He wants

your beauty to emerge. You can be courageous,

dignified, and powerful. You can be a woman of

strength! How?

She rejoices in God with a grateful heart & a

joyful spirit

She possesses the ability to genuinely say to

another woman: “I admire your qualities

and attributes”

She is blessed with a giving heart and a will-

ingness to help others

She consoles others even though she too is

hurting

She learns from her mistakes and acknowl-

edges that she too is not perfect

She speaks with words of wisdom and not

malice. From the mouths of destruction,

her smile remains unshaken

She lifts her head and continues to walk in the

midst of turmoil

She inspires other women to be the best they

can be. With her life experiences, she

touches the lives of a multitude

She remains determined to be the best person

SHE can be

She smiles every time she says “I LOVE

YOU”

She has the courage to take the fall for another

She is not too proud to say “I need you”

When her tears fall, she prays faithfully

When others turn their back on her, she still

continues to pray faithfully

She is humble enough to admit when she is

wrong

Through betrayal and talk, she remains secure

in knowing who she is

She is loving enough to say “I forgive you”

She is at peace with herself without having the

need to prove herself to anyone

She values her self-worth and reminds other

women of theirs

She is not pretentious but instead she presents

herself just as she is…

“A WOMAN OF STRENGTH!”

YOU TOO CAN BE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

OF STRENGTH!

We are teaching our children by helping

them develop the character they need to

listen to God's instructions and obey him.

The work and time we invest in them now

has benefits that will last a lifetime. After

all, as adults, we must also comply with

instructions that we don't particularly like.

Sometimes God asks us to do something

we don't fully understand or wish we did-

n't have to do. Obedience usually requires

work, self-discipline, and humility, quali-

ties not easily found in society today.

REMINDER……Do Not Forget to give your child money for tithing and offering. Let them know it is important to you be-cause it is important to God. Junior Outre’ Student Ministry

Ephesians 1:4

For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to

be Holy and blameless in His sight, In Love.

1 Thessalonians 5:9

For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a Holy

life.

Do you think that God would not or could not forgive you because of the terrible things you have

done in life? Only the enemy encourages a walk in condemnation, fear and discouragement, leaving

you ready to give up. And there are some things that you should give up. But let me be specific.

Give up condemnation! Romans 8:1 says that there is therefore now no condemnation to them

which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Give up fear! II Timothy 1:7 tells us for God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and

of love, and of a sound mind.

Give up discouragement! Deuteronomy 31:6 encourages us to be strong and of a good courage,

fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not

fail thee, nor forsake thee.

God’s love for you is so amazing. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we

were yet sinners, Christ died for us ( Romans 5:8). He will forgive every sin that you have com-

mitted. God desires to open our eyes, and to turn us from darkness to light and from the power of

Satan unto God: that we may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among those which are

sanctified by faith that is in us (Acts 26:18). There is nothing impossible to Him.

Salvation is as simple as ABC, Acknowledge, Believe & Confess. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt

confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him

from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Pray,

Father, I confess that I am a sinner, I have sinned against you. But today, I humble myself before

you, acknowledging You as who You are, Almighty God. I repent, please forgive me. I believe Je-

sus Christ died for me. I welcome You into my heart. Holy Spirit; purify my heart, show me your

ways, lead me & guide me. Fill me with Your Spirit. I want to live for you. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Welcome to God’s family!! Now, I encourage you to make time to spend with God; reading His

Word, praying and fasting are the first steps a closer walk with God. Find a Bible believing, Bible

First of all it is truly an honor and a privilege

to be able to speak about someone who means

so much to not only my life, but the lives of

many others. My Spiritual Dad, Dr. Mark T.

Jones- what can I say about you that have not

already been said? I praise GOD for a man

created for HIS (GOD’S) PURPOSE! To be

able to sit under such anointing is truly a blessing.

It is my prayer that those who have ears, let them hear;

Those who have eyes let them see…. In a world where

many leaders are misleading; many motivational speak-

ers that are sincerely uninspiring; many prosperity

teachers who are the only ones prospering…. It is truly a

blessing to witness a man who stands in integrity, honor,

& respect; a selfless man whom I have personally come

to know that truly cares for the development of charac-

ter in God’s people. He is someone who teaches us to

set aside personal feelings and to see people the way

God sees them. He is also a man that not only leads His

church, His businesses, but first and foremost leads his

family on the right pathway. May God forever bless

your journey throughout your existence!

When I think of you, Apostle, Psalms 15 comes to mind.

Line upon line, precept upon precept, this passage of

scripture is all you. As I seek to serve God, I seek to be

lead by the Holy Spirit, and seek to be pressed in to the

knowledge and love of Jesus Christ; I am so grateful to

God for blessing me with not only a mentor, father fig-

ure, spiritual asset, nurturing developer, but also a man

whom TRULY is after God’s Heart!

I would like to say that on behalf of The Center For

Manifestation Family all around the world……. WE

LOVE YOU, WE HONOR YOU, WE BLESS YOU!

Felton & Family

You know, one should never undervalue the

gifts of God in their life. Dr. Jones is a gift that

was packaged to the body of Christ directly

from God's infinite wisdom. He is a treasure

that yields God's manifested blessings every

single time he speaks a word from God. Just

the other day as he was teaching his children

the Word, my sister whispered to me saying,

'Where did this man come from?' It had no

negative connotation, but the revelation that

was manifested from his mouth, through the

breath of God, caused her to wonder where this

modern day Elijah and Moses came from.

That's how powerful the revelation was for us!

I just praise God for placing me under the care

and tutelage of a man and woman of God that

truly carries the heart of God and a sincere heart

for God's people. Silver and Gold cannot compare

to the riches we have in Apostle Mark and Lady

Lisa. The result of good parentage is generally

evaluated in the success of their children. I am so

honored that this daughter has chosen to strive for

her destiny and thus make her parents proud.

Thank you Apostle and Lady Lisa for all that you

have done to help me live my best life NOW!

Chiante Price

The Jones’ for the Garcia’s are an example of how to do it right. Sure we all have

work to do, but the fruit of character tried by fire, maturity weathered by seasons

and success that has been kept from cynicism is evident when we see their son,

daughter and marriage. Simply put, CFM is...because they chose to be!

Thank you for living your lives the way you have lived them! Happy Anniversary!

Dr. John Garcia & Family

Apostle,

I praise God for your obedience and discipline to carry out the vision that the Lord has given

unto you. Thank you for letting go of all the vain ambitions that this world has to offer and

standing as to what an ambassador of Christ should look like. May God continue to keep His

hands upon you and your family’s lives as you continue moving forward in Christ. I love you.

The use of herbal remedies is of course nothing

new and is as ancient as mankind.

Ezekiel 47:12 states

“And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine”. (King James Version Cambridge Ed.) The health benefits of a diet which is largely composed of fresh fruits and vegetables can-not be emphasized enough. Our over proc-essed, overly sugared, vitamin deficient food has taken its toll on society as a whole. Discussing the importance of diet and exer-cise is paramount to the discussion of herbal medicine, however, that is not our focus here. This column will focus on herbs from both a healing perspective as well as their historical and Biblical symbolism Today we will be looking at Frankinincense

Frankincense is most readily known from the Bib-

lical account of the virgin birth of Jesus

It is paired with Myrrh as one of the gifts from the

wise men in this important Christian reference

Like myrrh it is harvested from a scraggly tree that

survives at the edge of the desert

The bark of the tree is scraped so that the sap can

ooze out and coagulate on the trunk to be later har-

vested in the form of resin

Resin does not decay and has been found in Egyp-

tian tombs thousands of years old, in the same

form that it was in when it was placed in the sar-

cophagus with bacterial desecration

Somalia and Yemen have been the main sources of

this aromatic substance

These areas were difficult to reach during ancient

times and today this still holds true because of po-

litical and military chaos in both of these countries

Frankincense is different from Myrrh because it is

sweet while Myrrh is very bitter to the taste

Frankincense has been in production for 5000

years and is always rated by its color, purity,

aroma, age, and shape

Actually if we examine the word Frankincense you

will notice that it is actually composed of two

separate words

The first syllable “Frank” refers to the Frankish

Crusaders of the 12th and 13th Centuries

They are believed to have migrated from Scan-

danavia and northern Europe and conquered West-

ern Europe down to parts of the Western Mediter-

raen Sea

They later became the rulers of the Holy Roman

Empire of the Catholic church

Some historians attribute these Crusaders with re-

introducing the use of near eastern incense into

Western European culture due to their exposure to

near eastern cultures

At one point, all incense from the middle east was

referred to as Frank-incense

The Arabic term for what has been translated as

Frankincense is “Olibanum” which specifically

identifies the gun resin from the Boswalia tree in

Somalia and Yemen

It was burned to create a black substance called

Kohl that was used by Egyptian women as a

beauty enhancer to line their eyes as seen on hiero-

glyphic images

Frankincense is rare and difficult to harvest like

myrrh and was ordained of God to be used in the

Wilderness tabernacle

Exodus 30: 34-38

“And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee

sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum,

these sweet spices with pure Frankincense: of each

shall there be a like weight

And thou shall make it a perfume, a confection

after the art of the apothecary, tempered together,

pure and holy

And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put

FRANKINCENSE

it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the con-

gregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be

unto you most holy

And as for the perfume which thou shall make ye

shall not make to yourselves according to the com-

position thereof if shall be unto thee holy for the

Lord

Whosoever shall make like unto that to smell

thereof, shall be cut off from his people”

God forbade anyone from using the formula for

themselves upon penalty of expulsion

Subsequently it was used in the Jerusalem and

Solomon temples down through the ages

This aromatic incense concoction is mentioned

several times in Leviticus as a supplement to the

meat offering or grain offering

As noted in Leviticus 2:1; 2:16; 6:15

The meat offering in these passages was actually

composed of grain and grain products

A portion was burnt on the altar while the remain-

ing portion was consumed by the priest

Interestingly enough, the grain offering was forbid-

den as part of the sin offering as we read in Leviti-

cus 5:11

This reminds us of the rejection of Cain’s grain

offering to the Lord

The first use of the ancient Hebrew term “sin” oc-

curs in Genesis 4 in the account of Cain’s murder

of his brother over his rejected grain offering

Hebrews 9:22 states “For without the shedding of

blood there is no remission of sin”

The grain offering was to produce a soothing sa-

vour onto the Lord as we note in Leviticus 1: 9

This brings us back to the birth of Jesus

Like Myrrh we can surmise that the aroma of

Frankincense would have been familiar to the baby

Jesus laying in the manger

God the father ensured comfort for His Son even in

a dirty manger

It is a scientific fact that the olfactory sense is the

most powerful and memorable of the 5 human

senses

Even today it’s smoke is being used as a calming

agent and has several medicinal uses. Modern

medicine is turning its attention to Frankincense

for the relief of rheumatism and rhematoid arthri-

tis. It is an ant-inflammatory and experiments are

being conducted on its effect on soft tissue joints.

It could have been used by the entire holy family

for theirs was a stressful existence having dealt

with the awe of the angelic pronouncements, the

sudden visitation by strangers in the form of shep-

herds and wise men right after child birth and then

experiencing the emotional weight of the fulfill-

ment of ancient prophecy

Frankincense symbolized Christ priesthood and his

connection to his father because the gift of Frank-

incense was seen as a vehicle for transporting the

priests prayers up to heaven in the Tabernacles and

temples just as gold symbolized his kingship and

Myrrh his adornment as the sacrifice for mankind’s

sin

Frankincense is also used for digestive ailments

and parts can be taken internally

However, you should always consult a knowledge-

able physician especially if you are taking modern

medications

Interactions can produce uncomfortable results

Talk to your local health food expert at one of the

true health food stores in town

Always, consult with your doctor before taking

any herbal remedies.

And remember, many if not most of our modern

drugs and medications are derived from plants

The Psalms

It’s amazing how many people read

the Psalms as “Psalms chapter 1

verse 1.” The Psalms is a collection

of poetry and songs. It should be read

as if you are reading poetry or singing

a song. Although Psalms is one of

the Poetical books, the book of Job

actually begins the introduction to the

Poetical Books. They are: Job,

Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and

Song of Solomon. The Hebrew name

for Psalms is “sepher tehillim,” or

the book of praises. The Psalms were

written by different people over a

span of hundreds of years! It is di-

vided as follows:

Book 1 – Psalms 1 – 41

All are attributed to David

Book 2 – Psalms 42 – 72

Psalms 42 – 49 – Sons of Korah

Psalms 50 - Asaph

Psalms 51-65 and 68-71 – David

Psalms 66 – 67 – Unknown Author

Psalms 72 – Solomon

Book 3 - Psalms 73 – 89

Psalms 73 – 83 – Asaph

Psalms 84, 85, 87, 88 – Sons of

Korah

Psalms 86 – David

Psalms 89 – Ethan

Book 4 - Psalms 90 – 106

Psalms 90 – Moses

Psalms 101, 103 – David

Psalms 91-100,102,104-106 – Un-

known Author

Book 5 - Psalms 107 – 150

Psalms 108-110,138-145 – David

Psalms 107, 111-137, 146-150 – Un-

known Author

The Psalms are very unique in that

they contain a full range of human

emotions and experiences that every

person can relate to. Many people,

Christians and non-Christians have

turned to the Psalms for comfort and

strength. They are very powerful,

praiseful, purposeful, prayerful,

NOT JUST FOR

TEACHERS

ONLY………

By Teacher Eva Johnson

positive, and they all point you to

God. There are many words noted

in the Psalms that are actually musi-

cal notations. For those of you who

use the word “Selah” all the time to

make a point, it actually is a musical

term that indicates a pause or an in-

crease in volume. What it is actually

doing is calling for the listener of

the song to “pause” and “think

about it.” The term “Selah” is not

to be read but to be done. So the

next time you see “Selah” at the

end of the line, just stop, pause and

think about what you just read.

Short Personal note: At one time in

my life, I was a choir director for

the children and adults. I used to

read the Psalms and God would give

me music to go with it and I would

teach it to the choir. It was amazing

how the musicians used to just pick

up the tune immediately! So try

putting music to some of the Psalms

as you read it, or as you pray it. I

have heard some beautiful tunes to

Psalms 23, “The Lord Is My Shep-

herd.” The tune will help you

memorize it and not forget it. To this

day I still remember the tunes God

gave me to the words of some of the

Psalms. For you rap artists out

there, try putting some beats to the

Psalms, it will be an awesome song

that people will not easily forget.

Wow, that would be an awesome

service if we sang the Psalms for

worship! Try it on your own!

Next Month we will explore the

next Poetical Book of Proverbs.

Note to Chronological Bible read-

ers:

There is so much exploration in

each of the Books of the Bible. It is

very hard to try to put only a brief

explanation for multiple books you

will be reading each month. How-

ever, I will cover each book by the

end of the year. These articles are

designed to not only give you back-

ground information on each book

but to also whet your appetite so

that you’ll want to do some per-
