NATIONAL PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CONVENTION PRESIDENT ELDER DOCTOR BERNARD C. YATES GIVES ANNUAL SERMON; INTRODUCED BY WIFE LADY VONDA YATES

On Thursday morning August 21, 2014 the ballroom of the Sheraton Hotel on Richard Arrington Boulevard was filled to capacity. The seating capacity of the ballroom was eleven hundred and every seat was occupied. The members of the National Primitive Baptist were in attendance to hear their president gives his third annual message.

The Vice President of the Convention Elder Kenneth Duke, pastor of the New Jerusalem Primitive Baptist Church Miami Florida presented the wife of President Yates Lady Vonda Yates to introduce her husband,  a first in the National Convention.

Yates gave an incredible introduction as she spoke from her heart about her husband and their life together. Yates has been a constant encourager of her husband. Like her husband she is a powerful intercessor and a passionate worshipper. And she is a preacher. In the 2011 election that catapulted her husband to the presidency by a margin of seven votes many believed that her ministry as a preacher,  in a church that doesn't recognize her as  preacher, would cause her husband to be defeated in the election. However he prevailed and so has she.

Lady Yates said about her husband President Yates, "I have shared many mountaintop experiences with my husband and I have shared many valley experiences with him. We have known abundance and we have suffered great need. But every time I hear him proclaim the Word of God I have to say the man I thought I knew is the man I don't really know.

"There is a hidden part in my husband as there is in every preacher that is only revealed when he preaches."

President Bernard C. Yates stood to declare the Word of the Lord surrounded by the leadership of the convention. He shared his concern for expanding the convention outreach to gather the youth of the Primitive Baptist Church in their own convention/conference.

Yates preached from Nehemiah 6 "Keep on working." He encouraged the members to do the work, to remain focused and to see the work as God sees the work.

Yates declared that the Primitive Baptist church is in transition. There are Primitive Baptists who speaks in tongues and prophesy. The church is operating in the five fold ministry. Don't be afraid of it teach.

 

10 DAYS OF MANIFESTED GLORY

I had to share this with you. As long as I live I don't believe that there will ever be anything as precious to me as experiencing the manifested presence of God. And I've been doing that today. This record is a testimony of the kind of day I've had in His presence. I feel like Moses standing on the mountain watching God write the Torah.

Starting Sunday August 5, 2012 a teleconference revival has been taking place on Facebook. This virtual move of God is being hosted by Apostles Kevin and Candace Ford of Chicago Illinois. I have done more writing on this couple this year than anyone outside of my own family, but in my spirit I feel as if they are my brother and sister. They are a unique apostolic couple, unlike any I've ever witnessed. Their spirits and manner of ministry reminds me of Aquila and Priscilla, and like this apostolic couple in the Book of Acts the Fords are a dynamic duo in business and religion. The world will one day know of the Fords and I'm praising God that He let me introduce them to you through Bernard's Word.

This telerevival is called 10 DAYS OF MANIFESTED GLORY and it is a time of Preaching, teaching, prophesying and intercession. The participants are being encouraged to fast each day until 6:00 p.m each evening. The Call begins at 8:00 p.m. EST.  I've been on the Call and in the presence of the Lord all three days but what I wanted you to know was what happened to me today as a result of last nights Call.

Yesterday I was extremely tired and unable to focus on what I needed to do for the day. As result of my tiredness and a nagging sinus headache I was unable to perform. By night I was ready to write Monday off as a lost day and go to bed. I knew that the Call was going on but I wasn't planning on attending. I was sitting in front of the television waiting for the clock to strike nine so that I could go to bed. At about ten minutes before eight my spirit started pulling me toward 10 Days of Manifested Glory. I dragged myself to the land line and marched myself to the desktop. I called in and waited.

Pastor Marnisha Thomas of Chicago started to minister and immediately my spirit quicken under the flow of God's Word out of this woman's mouth. By the time Prophet Pernell Robinson released a prophetic word my spirit was leaping. More prophetic words and decrees came forth from Apostle Candace and Prophetess Samonia Whisonant of Baltimore Maryland. By the time I went to bed I was walking under the glory cloud.

This morning when I rose from bed I was still in the glory. I declared that today I would press toward my goals. Immediately I began to write a chapter in a book that will be finished this week, I decree it to be so. In a couple of hours I had written a chapter and started on the next chapter. I then turned to my homework. I was planning to complete an assignment on yesterday to be on schedule but I didn't do any work yesterday. By the time of the Prayer Call, 8:00 p.m. EST I was almost complete with the second assignment as I listened to Prophetess Joyce Jones preach and teach on Abiding (With all these folks from Chicago land ministering I hope somebody told President Obama to attend; he needs this!) I completed my second assignment.

This is how the Glory is manifesting in me. I did two days work in one day! When you walk in the glory it accelerates your movements. That's Manifested Glory!

One of my favorites passages on the Glory is Isaiah 60.In verse 7 God says, "I will glorify the house of my glory."
When God said I will glorify God is saying that He will declare, He will speak plainly.

The house that God refers to a dwelling place. it also refers to the Temple where God's Spirit dwells.

God's glory is His rank and honor, it also refers to the weight of God.

This verse is what I've been experiencing today. Through His mouthpieces God has been declaring His honor and weight in me who is His house where His glory lives.. The glory of God always starts with the spoken word of God.  

I'm inviting you to 10 Days of Manifested Glory, there is still seven days left and I promise you that one thing will happen to you, and this is my witness, because you are the house of God, if you are trusting  Jesus as your Savior and have accepted Him as your Savior and Lord, God will glorify you and His glory will descend over you, your house, your family, your business, and whatever concerns you.

If you don't believe that Jesus died because He loves you and desires to have a relationship with you based on his love I invite you to this call and I promise you that if you say yes to God drawing you He will come in you and make you His house where He will glorify the glory that He will set in you. God has enough glory for all of us.
