Jesus said:Then you will know the truth and the
truth will set you free.
But has the world really been set free?
I dont think so. If anything, the world isheaded for destructionnot renewal.
Why this is so?
It is because it is alllies and hypocrisies
the world has knownnot thereal truthsof Jesus.
JESUS IS YET DEAD!
For 2000 years now, Jesus has but remainedburied in his tomb, by the perpetration of thevery religion that is supposed to propagate
his truths.
UNLESS WE RESURRECT JESUS AND HISMISSION NOW FROM THE DEAD,
our world is but doomed to an irreversibledestruction.
Amen.

1. THE BOOKPeace be with you, my friend!
My name is RODOLFO MARTIN VITANGCOL. I was a formerseminarian [spent my high school years in the seminary],worked with Bank of America for six years as my first job,embarked on a selling career, then became a Trainer ofbehavioral programs such as Leadership, Salesmanship,
Strategic Planning, and Work Values & Attitudedeliveringthem to various companies in the Philippines.
Recently, I have finished writing a book. The title of thebook is:
THE 12 TRUTHS THAT JESUS REVEALED
TO SET THE WORLD FREE
BUT WHICH WERE MALICIOUSLY TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
BY CHRISTIANITY
From the title alone, it is expected that the book willimmediately be condemned by the church leaders as
hereticaland dismissed as plain rubbish. But this is what Ican say: truths even when called rubbish shall produce
life, but rubbish even when called truths can only producemiseries.
What led me to the writing of this book?

Eighteen years ago, on November 12, 1991, while Iwas driving in one of the busy streets of Metro Manila,something very strange happened. The front windshield of
my car suddenly exploded into pieces as if a lightning hadstruck it. As I looked around, I could not suspect anythingor anyone who could have caused it.
THAT NIGHT I HAD A DREAM.
It was a very frightening dream indeed; in fact, it wasthe most frightening dream I ever had in my whole life.
The dream had no story in it. What I could recall was I
was somewhat thinking of what name I should give anorganization when, out of the blue, a most horrifying voicethundered. The voice shouted: THE JESUS MISSION!The voice was so big and so resonating you would be sure itcame from no any ordinary human on earth.
At the very instance that the voice thundered, I awokeand found myself sitting on my bed catching my breath,sweating from the shock, and wondering whose voice couldthat be and what could it mean.
I IGNORED THE DREAM!
But one year later, while I was driving again one earlymorning of November 8 on my way to a seminar, a stonefrom nowhere hit the front windshield of my car. The stone
hit the windshield so hard that it left a mark on the glass; alittle harder and it would have shattered the whole glass. AsI looked around, there was no one or anything I could
suspect the stone could have come from.
THEN I REMEMBERED THE DREAM.
Somehow I thought there must be something veryspecial the VOICEin my dream wanted to impart to me.

SINCE THEN, I DID NOT IGNORE THE DREAM.
Years passed, as I was pursuing thesearching for the meaning of my dream,the Voice in my dream led me tosomething very revealing that truly made
me so uncomfortable.
The Voice directed me to THE TRUTHS THAT JESUSREVEALED TO SET THE WORLD FREE which, whenanalyzed, were practically the exact opposites of whatChristianity had all along been teaching to the faithful for
two millennia now. I got scaredvery, very scared. Thiswas so because some of the things being presented to meby the Voice were already hitting at the very foundation ofthe Christian faith itselfand that is, the very GOD ofChristianity HIMSELF. For one of the truths that the Voicetold me and which made me very uneasy was: The Godthat Moses revealed to the Israelites was not the same Godthat Jesus revealed to the world whom Jesus addressed ashis Father. I repeat: The God of Moses is not the God ofJesus whom Jesus called his Father. As far as the messageof the Voice is concerned, the two are not one and thesamegrossly contradicting the fundamental beliefs andteachings of Christianity.
Faced with such a dilemma, I have two choices: either tobelieve the teachings of Christianity or to believe themessage of the Voice. But if ever I opted to choose themessage of the Voice, the thing is I should take all histruths, not simply select those that I believe are true andreject the rest.
-

I chose to believe the message of the Voice. And I took allhis truthsTWELVE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS in all thatimmensely ran counter with the basic teachings ofChristianity; hence the title of the book.
And I chose the Voice not out of fear, but out of a belief thatwhen the seeds of the Voices truths were to be sown in the
world, they would bloom into a one big kingdom of God onearth freed from all kinds of evil and suffering; whereaswhen the seeds of Christianity were to be planted [as theyare planted now], they would grow exactly into the kind ofworld that we now havebrimming over with all kinds ofinjustices and iniquities, lies and hypocrisies, senselessness
and stupidities. The fruit just cannot belie the tree.
But there is ONE OTHER TRUTH thoughthat stood out among the twelve as the
most shocking one, next to the one I have just previously mentioned. And I swear I
would never have known about iteven if
I read the Bible all over and all overagainif not for the intercession of the
Voice. This truth concerns this religioncalled CHRISTIANITY.
If youwho are reading this messageare a devoutChristian, you may not be aware of it but you, as aChristian, have the soul and mind of the Apostle Paul. Yourbehavior as a Christian has been influenced largely by theteachings of Paul. You attend church, you donate to thechurch, you respect your fellow church members, and youbelieve you are assured of salvation brought about by yourbelief that you are in the right church of Christ. However,this is what I can tell you about your church: In whatever
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
7/43
name your church is called, it is a CHURCH OF PAULnot ofChrist!
Christianity, as I see it today, is fundamentally Paul. It
follows to the letter the Gospel of Paul. That is no bigconcern if the Gospel of Pauland the Gospel of Jesus are butone and the same in truth and spirit. With seething anger in
my heart, I dare say it right to your face: THEY ARE NOT!If the Christians have been behaving the way they arebehaving now, and the world continues to behave the way itis also behaving now, it is mainly due to the fact that, forages, the Christian world has been embracing the teachingsof Paul under the name of Jesusnot the teachings of Jesus
under the name of God.
Paul is the most destructive force that has ever fallen uponthe true MISSION OF JESUS. And what makes him so greatan ANTICHRIST is the fact that no one in his right mindwould ever think that Paul is destruction to Jesus. To thewhole Christian world, Paul is the most able messenger andapostlethe chosen one of Christ. The whole world owes toPaul the spreading of Christianity.
Good Paul has really done it so perfectly well. If SatanfightsJesus as an evil force, out to attract like-minded evilpeople away from Jesus, Paul fights with Jesus as arighteous force, out to attract like-minded righteous peopleaway from theTRUE JESUS. May God forgive me [and theVoice who guided me] if we are wrong!
Who was Paul and what really were his
misdeeds against Christ?
Paul, a Pharisee and a Jew but of Roman citizenship, was ahidden collaborator of the Roman Empire. Paul madeChristianity compatible with the ambitions of the Roman
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
8/43
Empire. Paul tamed Jesus to suit the self-seeking aims ofthe empire.
And so, Jesus Kingdom of God on earth and in heavenhad
been reduced to Kingdom of God in heavenleaving thekingdom of Godon earthto the exclusive rule of Caesar.
Jesus liberation of man from his physical sufferings onearthand thesalvation of mans soul from the fires of hellhad become solely the spiritual salvation of mans soulleaving the earthly liberation of man from his physicalsufferings at the mercy of the physical world. [Christianshave mastered the art of learning to endure all physical
sufferings on earth by merely looking up to heaven withgreat hope and prayersas the world goes to the dogs.]
Jesus Parable of the Good Samaritan helping a Jew despitethe Jews popular hatred for Samaritans, had turned intolove your brothers, most especially your brothers in thefaith.
Jesus Mission of going out into the world to save had
become going to church to be saved. [Paul turned JesusMission totally into a CHURCH CONCEPTwhere theforemost obligation of the Faithful is to go to church, not togo out and save the lost and sinful world; to listen to theGospel of Paul, not to the Gospel of Jesus; and to give theirdonations and tithes to feed the church, not the poor andoppressed in our world.]
Jesus command of going out to fight all evil and injustices
of Satan with all the power given to us by Godin the nameof Jesus for the glory of God had become leaving to God todo all the fighting for us for the salvation of man.
Jesus Mission of World salvation through repentance andfollowing him in his Missionhad been supplanted by Pauls
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
9/43
Mission of Personal salvation through Jesus blood andresurrection.
Truly, Paul had mangled the Mission of Jesus beyond
recognition. He had betrayed Jesus. If Judas betrayal ofJesus gave LIFE to Jesus Mission, Pauls betrayal gaveDEATH to the true Mission of Jesus. Pauls Christianity truly
is the archenemy of Jesus. Through the Gospel of Paul,Christianity had murdered Jesus and his Missionwithoutthe world even ever suspecting of it!
If Jesus were a kind of drink for the soul, Paul had
adulterated and turned the pure living water of Jesus intoa most delectable and saleable Christian juice. Thisconcocted juice of Paul really tasted so good to theChristians that when the true pure living watercame, thepeople angrily rejected it, claiming that the drink was a fake.They were sure it was not the juice that Paul had beengiving them to drink.
I tell you, had Christianity been based entirely on thepureliving water of Jesus [that is, on the Gospel of Jesus aswritten by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John]and not on theadulterated drink of Paul [that is, on the Epistles of Paul],the world would have long time been freed from all evil andsuffering. Hence, for as long as our Christianity remains tobe ruled by the doctrines of Paul, expect to see our worldcontinually plunging into the depths of irreversibledestruction.
[In the bookThe Twelve Truths That Jesus Revealedyou will find the detailed comparative analysis between theGospel of Jesus and the Gospel of Paul, as well as the
biblical proofs that the God of Moses is not the Father ofJesus; plus the ten other more revealing truths.]

2. THE MISSION
Jesus came with only one Mission: LIFE.
Jesus Mission is to bring LIFE to the worldlife in all itsfullness. He said:
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; butI have come that they may have life, and have it to thefull.
John 10:10
Jesus FULLNESS OF LIFE consists of LIBERATING man fromall his earthly suffering in order for man to enjoy to thefullest the gift of life God gave him on earth, and, at thesame time, SAVING mans soul from all its damning sins in
order for man to inherit eternal life in heavennot the firesof hell. Jesus simply calls it SALVATION. Can mans lifebe any fuller than that?
But how will Jesus LIBERATE AND SAVEthe world?
Jesus will liberate and save the world by way of working for
the RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE OF GOD to reign in ourworld. Jesus said:
Go back and report to John what you hear and see:The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who haveleprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised,
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
11/43
and the good news is preached to the poor. Blessed isthe man who does not fall away on account of me.
Matthew 11:6
And what is the RIGHTEOUSNESS ANDJUSTICEof God?
The righteousness and justice of God lies inseeing to itthat no single living soul on earth shall be seen deprived ofthe enjoyment of the BASIC NEEDS AND RIGHTS to livewith full human dignity, respect and honor that everyone isentitled to as a child of God.
God demands that everyone on earthregardless of thecolor of ones skin, faith, heart, status, age and sexbeenjoying all the basic needs and rights for a full dignified andhonorable living.
This will of God is so important to him that for as long as
there is one living soul on earth seen left out in the banquetof life, we shall all be accountable for it to God on JudgmentDay. Not believing in God is no excuse. Allwithoutexceptionwill be judged according to what we have done inpursuit of this very will of God.
There are TWELVE BASIC NEEDS ANDRIGHTS OF MAN that, as willed by God,everyone in this worldwithout
exceptionmust be enjoying. They areas follow:
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
12/43
1st: Man needs GOD and HIS SON JESUS. He has the God-given right to seek, know, worship and serve the onlyone true God and the One God sent to save the world.
2nd
: Man needs THE BASIC NECESSITIES IN LIFE to be ableto live with human dignity, respect and honor. He hasthe God-given right to have access and make use of
the available resources of the earth that can provide forhim such basic necessities as FOOD, WATER,CLOTHING, SHELTER and HEALTH CARE.
3rd: Man needs FORMAL EDUCATION. He has the God-given right to seek and be given the kind of formal
learning he needs to be able to face the world withdignified honor and confidence.
4th: Man needs MEANINGFUL WORK. He has the God-givenright to contribute his knowledge, time, and skills tothe attainment of the goals of the community hebelongs to. Man is essentially a worker of God.
5th: Man needs FREEDOM OF SELF-EXPRESSION AND SELF-
DETERMINATION. He has the God-given right toexpress himself and choose the kind of direction andaspiration he wants to pursue in life in accordance withthe will of God.
6th: Man needs PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT. He has the God-given right to seek, promote and enjoy peace andharmony in his environment.
7th
: Man needs CLEAN AND ORDERLY ENVIRONMENT. Hehas the God-given right to seek, promote and enjoycleanliness and orderliness in his environment.
8th: Man needs ETHICAL AND MORAL ENVIRONMENT. Hehas the God-given right to seek, promote and enjoygood ethics and morality in his environment.
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
13/43
9th: Man needs GOOD JUSTICE SYSTEM. He has the God-
given right to seek, promote and enjoy a justice systemthat is ever fair, merciful and just.
10th: Man needs RESPECT. He has the God-given right tostand on his own dignity regardless of the color of his
skin, faith, heart, social status, sex and age.
11th: Man needs the BEAUTIFUL EARTH. He has the God-given right to seek, promote and enjoy any of thewonderful things and places the earth freely offers.
12th
: Man needs GOOD GOVERNMENT. He has the God-given right to be involved and participate in theformation and maintenance of a government that oughtto conduct itself in accordance with the will of God.
In the TWELVE BASIC NEEDS AND RIGHTS
OF MAN lies the true measurement of the
progress of a nation.All global initiatives for peace and progress, and the wholeforce of all governments throughout the worldtogetherwith all the laws that would be enacted and the policies andprograms that would be formulatedmust revolve aroundand be directed towards the satisfaction of the TWELVEBASIC NEEDS AND RIGHTS OF MAN. The basic needs andrights of man ought to be at the center of all governance.
It is demanded of us by God that no child of his be seen un-served in the banquet of life that God has prepared for allhis children on earth. How far are we achieving this aimdetermines the true measurement of the progress of anation and of our world in accordance with the will of God.

Hence, for a nation that is said to be RICH but whose peopleare found wanting in the basic human needs and rights isnot a rich nation indeed: she is as poor as a rat and as
wicked as the people ruling her.
But for a nation that is said to be POOR but whose peopleare all living with full human dignity is not a poor nationindeed: she is as rich as the KINGDOM OF GOD and asrighteous as the God who is governing her.
How can we make the RIGHTEOUSNESSAND JUSTICE OF GOD reign in our world
so much so that the TWELVE BASICNEEDS AND RIGHTS OF MAN can all beprovided to each and everyonewithout
exceptionin our world?
There is only one answer: LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS JESUSHAS LOVED USor simply BROTHERHOOD OF MEN.There is no other answer.

3.THE BROTHERHOODThe state of the world we have today.
The ideology of life that has for so long been adopted by ourworld is SELFISM: a belief that man must live for himselfand only for the satisfaction and glory of himself if he wantsto attain the good life in this world. The result is this kind of
world that we now havea world where the rule of thegame is to get and amass as much wealth and power asones greed would alloweven if it is already being done atthe expense of others and the well-being of the world.
And so as the game unfolds, the fast, the strong, thesmart, and the corrupt among us get to advance in life byleaps and bounds, while the slow, the weak, the meek, andthe innocent get left far behind. In the eyes of the world
whose de-facto lord is SELF, this kind of set-up is perfectlyfair, just and legal. But in the eyes of our loving Father inheaven, it is nothing but cruel, if not brutal, unjust andimmoral.
For this, Jesus had to come.
To counter SELFISM, Jesus introduced the opposite:MUTUALISM. It is a belief that man must live for oneanother for the glory of our Father in heaven if we all wantto attain the fullness of life. And Jesus put it sternly in the
form of a command, not a request. He said: My commandis this: Love each other as I have loved you [John 15:12].To Jesus, loving one another is not a VOLUNTARY CHOICE,but an IMPERATIVE NECESSITY in order for the
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
16/43
righteousness and justice of God to reign on earth andconsequently liberate the marginalized and downtrodden inour world.
Hence, to the poor and oppressed who have been left farbehind in the self-seeking race, Jesus said:
Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is thekingdom of God.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will besatisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now, for you willlaugh.
Luke 6:20-21
But to the rich and powerful who have grabbed the lead inthe race, Jesus said:
But woe to you who are rich, for you havealready received your comfort.
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will gohungry.
Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mournand weep.
Luke 6:24-25
It is worthwhile to note that Jesus did not favor the POORAND OPPRESSED because they were poor and oppressed perse. For all we know, the poor and oppressed of today, whenthey get rich and powerful tomorrow, would be far greedierand more oppressive than the rich and powerful of today.
Jesus favored the poor and oppressed because they did notdeserve their fate. Had the righteousness and justice of Godprevailed on earth, they would have been living their liveswith full human dignity and respect as children of God.
On the other side, Jesus did not disfavor the RICH ANDPOWERFUL because they were rich and powerful per se. Is
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
17/43
not Jesus Father the wealthiest and most powerful in theworld? Jesus disfavored the rich and powerful because theirunbridled thirst for getting and amassing and grabbingwere already causing untold deprivation to the countless
many in our world.
Poverty and oppression is an affront to our Creator who
gave us everything we need in this world and yet so manyare found wanting.
Be that as it may, loving one anothermay seem so SIMPLE AN ANSWER, yet so
HARD A SOLUTION.
It is so hard a solution because if there is anything man isnot willing to give up by any means and at all cost in thisworldit is his LOVE OF SELF. And for this, the greatest
challenge of all challenges in the world for me as I see it is:
How we, the people of the world, can learn to love and careand give ourselves for each other as one brothers andsisters in God regardless of the differences in the colors ofour faith, skin, heart, status, sex and ageas exactly asJesus has loved, cared, and given himself for us to liberateand save us from all our sin and suffering.
I found this to be the supreme challenge of all challenges
because, if only the world can learn to do it, therein ourloving of one another lies the key to the eradication ofgreed and corruption, the elimination of poverty andoppression, the liberation and salvation of the world, theestablishment of the kingdom of God on earth, and thefulfillment of the will of God for the world.
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
18/43
Henceforth, for as long as the world cannot learn to humbleitself to take the challenge of loving one another, evil andsuffering shall forever stay in our worldever getting so
larger, so meaner and so bolder with each passing day.And may we stop praying to God that they disappearforthey wont!
Loving one another is the answer! It is the only answerand no other! And, I repeat, it is an imperative necessityasmandated by Jesus, not a voluntary option.
The Voice tells me that there is ONE MOSTEFFECTIVE WAY on how we can make our
world switch to playing the game ofMUTUALISM from its present game ofSELFISM.
You cannot play basketball in a field where the gameeverybody plays is football. You are only courting ejection.
Similarly, it is hard for anyone to be self-giving in this worldwhere the game being played is Love of Self. One will onlybe courting exploitation and frustration.
If we want the world to play the game of Love of oneanotherand not Love of self even at the expense of
otherslet us start it with a small group of like-mindedpeople who share our Mission and Vision. From such a smallgroup that cares for one another, it shall attract others to
join in till it grows larger and larger and larger: so large andso liberating that there is no reason for all the rest not to beattracted to join in as well. And then the whole world shallbecome a one big kingdom of God on earthfreed from allkinds of evil, corruption and suffering. Take it from Jesusparables:

The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed,
which a man took and planted in his field. Though itis the smallest of your seeds, yet when it grows, it is
the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, sothat the birds of the air come and perch in itsbranches.
The Kingdom of heaven is like yeast that awoman took and mixed into a large amount of flouruntil it worked all through the dough.
Matthew 13:31-33
Truly, the world is so inexorably being ruled by self-
centeredness that its only hope for ever being renewed is fora few responsible people to band together and show loveand care for each other till it rubs on to others, grows,multiplies and, ultimately, gets on to conquer the wholeworld.
Only when the world begins to recognize that the onlyreason the world is awash with evil and suffering is becausemen are selfishand not because God is not lovingcan it
start to make progress in its aim of building a happy worldfor everyone.
But most importantly, only when like-minded people bandtogether, organize themselves into a brotherhood of menand become living examples of the truths of Jesus can thebuilding of a happy world begin to happen. Amen.

4. THE DISCIPLESHIPJesus has formed an organization calledTHE JESUS MISSION and is invitingeveryone to join him in bringing the
fullness of life to the world.
What is this organization, called THE JESUS MISSION?
THE JESUS MISSION is a BROTHERHOOD OF MENwho are loving and caring and looking after each other asone brothers and sisters in God as Jesus has loved, caredand looked after us.
Jesus said:
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.By this all men will know that you are my disciples, ifyou love one another.
John 13:34-35
Her Mission is to bring the RIGHTEOUSNESS ANDJUSTICE OF GOD to the world where no single living soul on
earth should be seen deprived of the enjoyment of hisTWELVE BASIC NEEDS AND RIGHTS to live with full humandignity, respect and honor as a child of God, pursuing it inthe name of Jesus for the glory of God.
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
21/43
It is a brotherhood without walls where each one
believes they are FIRST BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN GODbefore they are black, white, yellow, red or brown; or beforethey are Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists or
whatever; or before they are rich or poor; or before they arerighteous or sinners; or before they are male or female; orbefore they are old or young.
Jesus said:
So do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or Whatshall we drink? Or What shall we wear? For the
pagans run after all these things, and your heavenlyFather knows that you need them. But seek first HISKINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all thesethings will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:31-34
The Jesus Mission is THE KINGDOM AND THERIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. Joining the Mission is not
joining a new religion [for it is not a religion] or just anotherorganization. Entering the Mission is entering a NEW LIFEfree from all worries, anxieties, insecurities and oppressionsin life. Amen.

He who has the power has the duty to help, while he
who has the duty to help must acquire the power.Each one in the Mission has the duty to help and theright to be helped. Let he who can help, do help; as he
who needed help, be helped.

RECIEVERS are those with needs and concerns to besatisfied and addressed;
GIVERS are those with the capability and willingnessto satisfy and address the needs and concerns raisedby the RECEIVERS.
Givers do not always remain as givers, as receivers donot always remain as receivers. A giver this time maybe the receiver next time, and a receiver this time mayalso be the giver next time. Or it can besimultaneously: during the gathering, a certain disciplemay raise a particular need and/or concern and yet heor she can also address some of the needs and/orconcerns raised by others.
Both givers and receivers may come from within theimmediate flock or from other flocks or even from non-
disciples of the Mission.
As for the NEEDS and CONCERNS that may be raised,they may be in the form of personal, social,

professional, financial, emotional, environmental,political, spiritual or anything that concerns the life ofman. The Mission believes that where there are needsand concerns in life, there is God seeking to give life.
We are the hands of God. God cares for us to theextent that we care for one another. What we aredoing to one another, we are doing it unto God. Amen.
8. THE TWELVE WORKS OF THE MISSIONJesus said:
I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me
will do what I have been doing. He will do evengreater things than these, because I am going tothe Father.
John 14:12-13

9.5. The Duties & Responsibilities.9.6. The JM culture.
The JM greeting. The Disciples Prayer. The Mark on the Forehead. The Weekly Gathering and the Communal Meal. The Caring for One Another: Receivers &
Givers.
After the indoctrination, comes the BAPTISM for newconverts. In the baptismal rite [to be officiated by theFlock Shepherd], the new disciples in Christ shall bemade to swear their lifetime commitments to the
Mission. The baptism shall be highlighted by the newdisciples receiving of an indelible mark [a tiny dot likea mole] on his or her forehead[this is optionalthough]. The mark symbolizes the disciplescommitment to pursuing Jesus Mission of Life to thevery end. [See: Revelation 9:1-6 and Revelation22:1-5]
10. THE LIFE OF THE MISSION.The Mission lives in the nature of a waterfall: Shedraws her power of giving from her receiving. As shereceives, she gives; as the recipient receives, he/shealso gives.
The life of the Mission is in the continuing flow of givingand receiving. Any withholding from the flow impairsthe life. An impairment of the life of the Mission is an
impairment of the hopes and dreams of thedowntrodden in our world.

5.THE POWEROnly POWER can change the world.
God used powerto create the world. Jesus usedpowertoheal the world. Satan is usingpower to destroy the world.Today, we, too, shall needpowerto renew the world.
And there is no power whose aim is to change the world thatcan be greater than the POWER OF THE ORGANIZATION.
ORGANIZATION is POWER. Built into the
right size, it can be the MOST POWERFULFORCE in the world.
In fact, the organization of good men is the only powerthatcan effectively bring down evil. Individually, we can donothing. The bigger we can organize ourselves together, thebigger the power we can pack to defeat the evil forces ofSatan. The strategy is: In no case and in no time shouldthe Missions force be lesser than the force of evil she wills
to conquer. Jesus said:
How can anyone enter a strong mans house and carry
off his possessions unless he first ties up the strongman? Then he can rob his house.
Matthew 12:29
Our organization shall be founded on Jesus truths. Fromthe propagation of Jesus truths, the gathering of greaternumber of disciples. From the gathering of greater number
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
31/43
of disciples, the generation of wealth. From the generationof wealth, the acquisition of political power. From theacquisition of political power, the renewal of the world.
If we cannot learn and accept to organize now, then may noone in the world be seen lamenting the ever-growingpresence of evil and suffering in our world. It is then to be
through our lack of organizational unity to fight them thatthey happened.
In the final analysis, evil and suffering exist because weallow it. And they shall continue to exist for as long as we
continue to allow it.There is no other reason. Amen.
The MISSION shall seek for POLITICAL
POWER to fast-track the renewal of theworld.
All the powers to make a change in our world have beenentrusted by the people of the world to their respectivegovernment leaders. There is no excuse thereforewhatsoever for the leaders of the world not to deliver as perthe expectation of the people. And so what happened thatthe world is teeming with hunger, poverty, unemployment,corruption, agitation, oppression and crimes. Lack ofpower? Or lack of the will to govern righteously. I tell you,when leaders are self-seekers, what can the world expect?
It is one big aim of the Mission to work for developing andputting Men of Godat the helm of all government of nationsto hasten up the liberation and salvation of the world. Therule of the righteous is the rule of God. There in the hands
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
32/43
of good government leaders lies the speedy and sweepingliberation of the world from all evil and suffering.
The Jesus Mission shall aim to set up THE JESUS MISSION CENTERS in everydepressed community area around theworld.
The JM CENTERS shall seek to provide basic services to thehapless and misfortune in our world.
Curiously, are these JM Centers yet to be pursued if
only the governments are doing their jobs? Caring for peopleis their mandated task, right? Truly, winning the reins ofgovernments by Men of God shall single-handedly do the jobof liberating the world from all poverty and oppression. It isthe very will of God that ultimately the Men of the Mission beholding the reins of the world. Amen.

6.THE CALL
THE CALL TO THE MISSION
Whoever and wherever and whatever you are, JESUS ISCALLING ON YOU! He is inviting you to play an active partin his Mission of renewing our world. He is asking you to get
involved, to share your mind, your heart, your soul and yourtime to the Mission.
If you are that person who is yet searching for that one truemeaning of life in this world, this is it: How we can stopman from his self-glorifying ways and, instead, teach himhow to give his life for the uplift of the world for the glory ofGod. Jesus said:
If anyone would come after me, he must deny himselfand take up his cross and follow me. FOR WHOEVERWANTS TO SAVE HIS LIFE WILL LOSE IT, BUTWHOEVER LOSES HIS LIFE FOR ME WILL FIND IT.What good will it be for a man if he gains the wholeworld, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give inexchange of his soul?
Matthew 16:24-26
If you are that person who constantly prays to God for thesalvation of the world, this is your chance to translate yourentreaties into actions; for at the end of the day, no goodwords and intentions can ever renew the world, except realand concrete actions.

We all need to BAND TOGETHER NOW and CREATE APOWERFUL FORCE, strong enough to move the mountainsof evil and suffering in the world to where there will be nomore! We need all the powers we can generate to defeat
evil right in their own turfs and in their own games: wealthfor wealth, power for power, and truth for truth.
And let us all unite and move now while the tree is stillgreen, for tomorrow may already be too latenot for us,more than for our children and the children of our childrenwhose welfare will depend on the kind of world we are toshape today for them. Be sternly warned of what Jesus saidto the women of Jerusalem on his way to the cross:
Daughter of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, weep foryourselves and your children. For the time will comewhen you will say, Blessed are the barren women, thewombs that never bore and the breasts that nevernursed! Then they will say to the mountains, Fall onus! and to the hills. Cover us! For if men do thesethings when the tree is green, what will happen when itis dry?
Luke 23:28-31
Let us not wait for the end of the world to come in order tobe lifted up to heaven to meet the Lord. TODAY IS THE DAYOF OUR LORD! Meet him where he is now: He is there rightin his Mission waiting for us for two thousand years now to join him in his crusade of liberating and saving the worldfrom all evil and suffering.
Believe me, if we are to commit ourselves to Jesus now inhis Mission, we and our children and the children of ourchildren will never regret it. Never! Jesus himself isassuring us:

I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me willnever walk in darkness, but will have the LIGHT OFLIFE.
John 8:12
The world can be classified into four types
of people as far as THE ABILITY AND THEWILLINGNESS TO BE INVOLVED IN THE
PROBLEMS OF THE WORLD ARECONCERNED.
1st: There are those who can help and really do mean tohelp.
2nd: There are those who can help but do not mean to help.3rd: There are those who cannot help but really do mean to
help.4th: There are those who cannot help and, at the same
time, do not really have any intention at all to help.
If you are the type who can help and really do mean to
help,or the other typewho cannot help but really do meanto helpthe Mission badly needs you. To Jesus, you arethe light and the salt of the earth.
On the other hand, if you are one among those who canhelp but have no intention to help,or among those who
cannot help and, at the same time, really do not have anyintention at all to helpmay God bless you!

6. When the Mission succeeds, you are passing onto yourchildren and the children of your children, not just aBETTER PLACE, but a PERFECT PLACE for everyone to

37/43
bring about a perfect place for everyone to live in, theMission will be all out to support you as it is the will ofGod that only Men of God must rule the world.
9. Gone are the days when you seem so successful andyet so failing, so rich and yet so inadequate, and sopowerful and yet so incapacitated to make a difference
in our world.
10. You are now in the LEAGUE OF GODthe self-givers ofthe world in the name of Jesus for the glory of God; nolonger in the LEAGUE OF SATANthe self-seekers ofthe world in the name of profit for the glory of SELF.

2nd: You love Jesus and commit to follow him in hisMISSION of Life for the world.
3rd: You care for the world and choose to be Godsinstrument in bringing life to the world.
4th: You are sick and tired of seeing the greedy and thecorrupt lording it over while the meek and the weak are
wallowing under. Once and for all, you want to see theworld set right:
By seeing to it that no one in this world be ever seenagain deprived of his basic needs and rights to livewith full human dignity in this world.
By seeing to it that no one ever dare attempt againto legalize what is immoral [as immoral as greed andcorruption], nor consider as righteous what isimmoral simply because it is legal. [Oh, how our
-
8/9/2019 The Jesus Mission
38/43
land is riddled with so much laws that people canwell live without, yet missing in laws that many ofour people today would find it hard to live without.One glaring example is the existence of the seatbelt
law that requires motorists to always fasten theirseatbelt for their driving protection, but the non-existence of a law that requires the government and
the rich and the powerful to feed and save the poorand the hungry from their deadly humiliation andstarvation at all cost.]
By seeing to it that the Almighty God through hisown new breed of Caesarsbe ultimately ruling the
world.
Nothing is impossible with God: WE CAN
RENEW THE WORLD.
All year long, people kept on crying and murmuring aboutthe presence of Goliath. But Goliath stayed and pesteredthem as ever. Until one day, a brave man by the name ofDavid came to face Goliath eye to eye and slew him rightbefore their very eyes. Analyzing it, the real problem is notGoliathit is the people.
Why cant we do the same with the problems of the worldthat have been causing so much suffering for so many andfor so long? The David in our hearts is the answer. Let usbring him out.
NEW PEOPLE, NEW WORLD!
We cannot expect the dyed-in-the-wool wolf-leaders in ourgovernments to become lambs, or the holy hypocrites ofSatan in our churches to become angels of God to bring
about the liberation of our world from evil, greed and

corruption. That will never happen! The countdown to anew beginning of real truth, real way and real life in theworld shall be triggered by a community of new people withnew hearts. They shall emerge from the ruins of crooked,
twisted and adulterated word of God and shall effect alasting change for the world founded on the justice andrighteousness of God. It is they who shall make the
kingdom of God on earth happen! NEW PEOPLE, NEWWORLD!
Jesus said:
No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old
garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away fromthe old, making the tear worse. And no one pours newwine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burstthe skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will beruined. No, he pours NEW WINE into NEWWINESKINS.
Mark 2:21-22
Without the true Jesus and his trueMission ministering in our world, theworld can do nothing.
Jesus said:
I am the vine; you are the branches. If a manremains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit;
APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING.John 15:5

Jesus. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life; without himthe world can do nothing!
The truth is: the reason the world is ever a perennial mess is
because it has tried all kinds of ideologies except for one: Jesus as the way, the truth and the only life. And I knowwhy the world is taking forever to try Jesus: To take Jesus
is to reject the self which the self-seeking world finds itimpossible to embrace. Amen.
Be the light and salt of the earth!
Jesus is now here enlisting your consent to follow him and
be a DISCIPLE in his Mission, better yet, a SHEPHERD inleading his flock to the renewal of the world. The rewardJesus offers is just utterly indescribable. The reward issimply far greater than all the kinds of reward we can
imagine to have in our lifetime.
Must you heed the call? The decision is yours. The decisionon your decision is Gods.
Last note of emphasis: THE JESUSMISSION is a brotherhood of men andnever a religion.
She is a brotherhood of men and women, of adults and
children, of Christians and Muslims or whatever faith, of therighteous and the unjust, of the black-white-yellow-red-and-brown, and of the rich and poor. Her aim is LIFEloving,
caring and looking after each other as one brothers andsisters in God, as exactly as Jesus has loved, cared andlooked after the world, regardless of the color of the worldsreligion and its state of heart. She is in the socials of life,economics of life, ecologies of life, politics of life,spiritualities of lifewherever it concerns the life of the

world, the Mission is there aiming to bring life. THE JESUSMISSION transcends all religions.
