WHY CHURCHES FAIL

IN THEIR MISSION

 

 

Jesus Christ explicitly said: "Seek first the kingdom of God." What he meant is that people preoccupied with material search is hampered in their search for spiritual uplift.

 

To put it more clearly, anybody going to the top of the mountain with gold bars in his pockets will have a hard time climbing to the top.  For him to reach the top of spiritual enlightenment, he must set aside the gold bars by the wayside and continue climbing to the top.  Once there, he could always ask somebody to retrieve the gold bars for him.  He could lower a rope, ask that somebody to tie it to the gold, and pull them up together.  But the irony of it is that, once on top, the kind fellow and he will find out they have no use for the gold both of them so passionately coveted while on the way up.

 

At the top, they can feast on the view and partake of pranic energy that sustains life.  Everything is for free.  Everyone is happy to help anyone in need.  No competition.  No confrontation.  No bickering.  One for all and all for one, irrespective of previously cherished beliefs.

 

And the gold, the shining gold, they will find to be trash after all -- the magnificent illusion whipped up by Satan to pull man down.  And the Infinite Being allows it so --- to separate the grain from the trash.

 

So man should be forewarned. Only the pure of heart --- the pure in thoughts, words, and deeds, the fully detached from material things --- can reach the top of spiritual perfection: Perfect in Will Power, Perfect in Intelligence or Wisdom, and more importantly Perfect in Love. The top is the "heaven" of most religions, the "nirvana" of Buddhism.

 

 Setting up a church is like pushing up a pushcart to the top of a mountain.   There are freeloaders on top of the pushcart.  This arrangement is part and parcel of the exam of life.  These freeloaders might be doing nothing.  And when the pushcart eventually reaches the top, they will, like the rest who pushed hard, also see the view.  But because they did not work for it, their happiness, their appreciation will be limited.   This is part of the Law of Effort.  One only appreciates things if he worked for it.  Don't you think you will value more your college diploma rather than an honorary degree?  Do not your parents share your triumphs when you go to the stage to get your diploma?  They rejoice because your triumph is part of their triumph. Your victory is part of their victory.  It is because they are part of the team: you and your parents.  The Law of Effort is now applicable: for every effort you exert, there is a corresponding level of happiness. It is the positive side of the Law of Karma.

 

So do not be discouraged.  Summon your Will Power.  God the Father, the repository of all Will Power, wants you to exert effort, wants you to overcome obstacles.  He wants to see you win amidst the different obstacles because in winning you uplift mankind.  Did He not rejoice in Jesus Christ's death, for this marked the birth, the resurrection of man, his spiritual renewal or redirection?

 

The only problem is that the Apostles failed Him.  The time was not ripe.  They were not ready.  The people trained by the Apostles had not attained the right spiritual and mental consciousness to appreciate the Master's Degree of spirituality.  Hence, the second visit of Jesus Christ on Earth --- in Mt. Banahaw during the 11th century --- was not recorded.  He just meditated and prayed for the opportune time a thousand years hence.  The prayer resulted to the discovery of the Philippines by Magellan, which was the outcome --- the answer to Jesus Christ's prayers.  The Philippines was Christianized.  For if this was not so, how explain the fact that the Philippines is the only Christian country in the Far East?  It was not merely accidental.  It was the direct result of Jesus Christ's fasting, praying, and meditating, even crying and lamenting in the fastness of Mt. Banahaw about the sorry state of the world --- the seemingly hopeless situation.  But because of his efforts --- his prayers, his meditation, and his fasting --- he got this concession from God the Father that the Philippines would be Christianized.

 

But why the Philippines?  Because the Philippines was part of Lemuria where Adam and Eve fell.  God expects that the third coming of Christ will now be the real rising up where man fell.  It is not important that man falls.  Because he is imperfect, God understands.  But it is very important that each time he falls, man rises up.  God dislikes despair.  Even a Judas he forgives so long as he repents.

 

 Man is lucky.  He has Free Will.  He has a choice.  And man is desecrating that choice.  So many messages from the time of Moses down to the present have been wasted.  It is because man is lured by the glitter of gold, the illusion of fame, the hypnotic allure of his fellow lovely creatures, the primal energy of libido seeking release in sexual pleasure instead of in creation or in pure Love for fellowmen.  Man is blind.  His eyes must be constantly opened through actual exhibits and demonstrations, through apparitions like that of Fatima and Medjugorje, through wars, pestilence, epidemic, and all kinds of suffering beyond his control before he turns his eyes above in supplication.  Did you not turn to God above in times of dire material need, when you felt events were overwhelming you, all beyond your control?

 

Why do churches fail in their mission?  The knowledge will help in forming a church which is really attuned to the will of the Father above. 

 

Churchmen fail because the members are not fully detached from material things.  As they go up to the top of the mountain, diggers of gold along the wayside are convinced to join them in their way up to search for truth and do penance for their sins.  However, the left spirits slyly whisper to them to put the gold into the pushcart.  So the churchmen become deliriously happy.  They thought that with the gold their job will become much easier.  But because they did not work for it, contradicting the Law of Effort, they become susceptible to temptation.   They forget that the gold serves as a magnet for Satan at the center of Earth, to attract them towards down below.  That is why Jesus Christ said: "It is very hard for the rich man to go to heaven. It is easier for the camel to pass through the eye of a needle."  He could very well have said: "It is very hard for a rich church to reach the mountain top of spirituality."  But he did not.  He did not because this realization is part and parcel of the test to be given to his followers, so that when he goes back to the Father, he could present to Him their performance.  Sadly, his followers did not succeed.

 

Let us look at the present big church, the CATHOLIC CHURCH.  Look what happened.  So many members are neglected.  Very few are attracted to become priests.  Somehow, something is wrong.  So let us go to the roots because the leaves are but the manifestation of the roots.  So are the branches.

 

The Catholic Church charges an amount for the different sacraments when these should be free in the first place.  At the last supper, did not Jesus say:  "This is my body," and distributed the bread embedded with the Love of Christ, with pranic energy, to the apostles for free?  (Fortunately, the Church still dispenses free hosts during communion, so there is still hope.)  Did not St. John baptize thousands of people for free?  Why in heaven's sake charge?  Why charge a fixed amount for baptism, for confirmation, for marriage?

 

Oh, you brethren of Christ lack faith.  You are afraid that the Church might die a natural death if there were no income.  But with a little more positive thinking, with 100 percent faith among you, the Lord will not desert you.  You will be surprised all the more people would contribute voluntarily if you do not charge anything for these sacraments.  Every service should be for free.  Even funeral rites.

 

Alas, the Church has gone into business.  Get out of business; go into real apostolic work.  And the test of whether you have truly touched your parishioner's hearts is when they start voluntarily contributing.

 

Also, get out of politics.  Leave the affairs of the state to the politicians.  Inflame their hearts with Love.  Remind them.  But do not tell them what to do.  Power consumes the carrier.  So do not play with fire.

 

To you Catholic priests, strengthen yourselves that you might not be easily tempted with the flesh.  You have vowed celibacy which was not required of you in the first place.  But since you have done it, prove your worth.  Stick to it.  You will be amply rewarded in heaven.  Work out for getting your "third eye."  It will comfort you when you are all alone. With your third eye open, you will rejoice even when you are alone.  For that would be your chance to communicate with us.  You will rejoice in your lonely moments.  Jesus Christ taught His apostles the way, including how to open the third eye.  But alas, selfish translators hid them for their personal use.  Now you have to find out how.  Use effort.  Apply the Law of Effort.

 

And to combat temptation for the warm companionship of the tender lovely creatures of God, fast.  Fast short but often.  Little by little, the left spirit in you will be neutralized.  Do not look for the devil elsewhere. It is in you.  The devil is the left spirit that is your subconscious mind.  Be master of it.  Control it.  Through fasting.  In your lifetime, aim to really follow Jesus Christ when he said, "I am the truth, the life, and the way."  He fasted for 40 days and nights.  Do the same.  No more of your half-baked retreats.   Go for the final assault --- your personal liberation from the devil, your left spirit.  For how can you save souls, if you yourselves are not saved?  How can you rescue a drowning man when you yourselves do not know how to swim?

 

Another thing, look at your surroundings.  Beautiful clothes, beautiful curtains, furniture, living room set, kitchen ware?  How can you lead the poor who do not have these things?  So live simply.  Get out of your houses of luxury and live the life of Christ --- the life of simplicity.  Your main aim is to get people detached from material things and now you live in luxury.  It might not have been explicitly stated in the Bible because you were expected to discover the truth.  Now that you did not fully grasp the true import, it is hereby stated: DETACH YOURSELF FROM MATERIAL THINGS.

 

It is important that you as ministers of God do this.  Leadership by example.

 

So to reiterate, do not charge anything for church services.  Just put a conspicuous box where people who enter can put their offering.  Explain to them the benefit of tithing as part payment of their karmic debts, that heaven-above recognizes it as such.  It will return to them ten times in the form of good luck once their money karmic debts are fully paid.  It will prevent the lord karma from collecting from them through misfortunes befalling their job, profession, or business or any income-generating project.  Do not worry.  Have faith.  You will always eat and have your basic material needs.  Like the gold-less cart, you can push your church cart faster to the top of the mountains.

 

Also, do not forget, you are the representatives of God not only to the rich milling around you but more to the unfortunate poor who feel neglected by you. The poor cannot identify with you because you are not one of them.  So mingle with them (there are more of them than the rich).  Be like them if not in actually at least in spirit.  That is why you have to detach yourselves from material things including rich friends, powerful politicians, and identify yourself with the poor.  Eat with them.  Partake of their meager food.  Be a Christ.  If you do this, you will feel the Love of God creeping into your heart.

 

Because you do not charge anything for church services, all the more you will become spiritualized.  Then once you have attained a level of material detachment, organize your church, your parish.  Your patron saints will be your allies.  Get people involved.  Let your material needs be taken care of by them.  Have yourself invited to simple modest dinners.  Avoid lavish ones.  You are there to lift them up spiritually.  Be friends with your community.  Do not berate them. Be understanding.  Teach the Love of God and not the fear of hell.  Be positive. Always.  Involve the more advanced of your parishioners in apostolic work.  The real advanced, especially those free from material problems, why use them in dispensing the sacraments.  Nothing wrong with it.  Let them undergo a six-month or one-year intensive training.  Their previous sinful experiences do not matter.   After all, all of you are recycled spirits who failed their previous tests.

 

By utilizing the people who are close to God, you will become more successful.  The problem with you have is that you have been dogmatic, thinking you are guardians of truth.  Man, you have unknowingly become proud.  Your knowledge of God is but an inch of the miles and miles of true knowledge.  And the inch is not even straight!  So be humble.  Do not fool or lull yourselves in the thought that what you know is the one and only truth.  Far from it.  Anyway, God the Father is interested in your heart, your pure heart divested of pride, selfishness, and all hunger for material things.

 

So to repeat, embark on a program of conscious detachment from material things.  Then and only then when you are free should you organize your parish.  Let every service be for free.  And you will be surprised.  Love begets Love. Your parishioners will love you more for it.  They will contribute more.  They will come to you.  Spot all those free from material problems and all those detached from material things.  Organize them.  Never indulge in politics.  Organize them with the end in view of the material mastery and more importantly spiritual perfection of your parishioners. --- perfect in Will Power, in Wisdom, and in Love.  The experience of working together, each trying to get rid of the devil in him, will teach everyone the true meaning of Love.  Thus, the saying that "Priesthood is a lonely way of life" will be proven false.  It is, in truth, the happiest.  When you attain that serene contentment oozing with Love for God and fellowmen, why you are already at the door of heaven.  And God the Father will open the door and embrace you with open arms for a job well done.  So act now.  Do something.

 

All of the above also apply to the other religions.

 

For you, IGLESIA NI KRISTO, we are thankful Brother Manalo responded to our call for missionary work.  It was necessary because the Catholic Church has neglected the poor and concentrated their efforts on the rich and powerful.  But alas, you are following their footsteps.  You are mingling with politicians and soiling your hands with politics.  The sooner you get out of it, the better.  Get out of politics.  Let your members decide for themselves.  With imposed choices on members, were you able to improve society?  Hardly.  You are inviting other churches to follow you.  Power like gold once inside the pushcart will make it harder for you to push up the church cart to the mountain top.  Did not Jesus say: "Render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's"?  So concentrate on how to make your members spiritually advanced.  Also, make all your services free.  Do not demand donation.  It is supposed to be voluntary.  Do not aspire for riches.  Jesus Christ was not rich.  Do not go into business.  Just aim for your reasonable livelihood enough to let you preach the word of God decently.  And do not be selfish as to make heaven yours alone where only your members are qualified. Also do not disparage other religions.  It is unchristian.  Do not laugh at or criticize the images of other churches.  Will you be comfortable if the pictures of your fathers and mothers are laughed at and criticized by others?  So repent.  Study and research more for the hidden knowledge imparted by God directly through the example of Jesus Christ, through the Master’s Degree he left, and through all the messages given by me, St. Gabriel, ordered by God the Father from time to time. Do not be imprisoned by the Bible.  It is now the source of confusion.  It is now sowing discord among the different churches.  Hence these messages.

 

As for you PROTESTANTS and FUNDAMENTALIST CHURCHES, research and study.  God the Infinite wants you to pass through His supervisors and messengers like the Guardian Angels.  He is so busy that He wants you to be humble and pass through channels of communication which He set up in the first place.  Also do not disparage the Virgin Mary, or Immaculate Conception.  Without her, do you think there would be Jesus of Nazareth growing up and evolving to Jesus Christ?  Man's salvation was dependent on the flowering of a virgin woman untainted by sin where Maria, God the Mother, could briefly enter to serve as the cradle for the fusion of the egg and sperm cell whereby Jesus Christ's Duplicate No. 1 first entered.  This is part of the revelation on the Immaculate Conception which has been conveyed in a separate message.  You did not believe because you could not understand.  You lacked faith.  Now that the level of Awareness of the people has been elevated, then the concept of the Immaculate Conception has been explained.  Other mysteries in religion will be explained to you once your Awareness has risen.  So study and research.  And be humble. You know very little yet.  Also, if you do not believe in images, in crystals, and other material objects as residences of spirits, then at least be open-minded about them.  Continue with your services.  Remember the 10% of income as contribution should be voluntary.  Also, follow all the admonitions given to the Catholic Church, like detaching yourselves from material things, being pure in thoughts, words, and deeds, praying short but often, being a 24-hour Christian, fasting short but often, meditating, and keeping on researching for religious truth.  The truth will set you free.

 

As for you MOSLEMS, you do not eat pork because the pig is dirty and has uncontrollable appetite.  Among all the animals, it has no self-control regarding food.  Why not apply this concept with a little variation to sex?  Control yourselves.  Have only one wife.  Sex is advanced payment of God for the rearing of children.  It is not supposed to be for pure enjoyment of man alone.  To the eyes of God, man and woman are equal.  A man does not enjoy extra privileges compared with a woman.  Uplift therefore the status of your women.  If your present arrangements were tolerated before by God, by Allah, it was because of the hardened hearts of your founders before.  But with the coming of the Age of Aquarius, the age of enlightenment, then be fair with the fair sex.  Treat them equally as you would treat your mother or sister.  Love them as thyself.  Eat less spice.  Continue with your beautiful practice of fasting.  God the Father likes it.  Be more tolerant with other beliefs, other religions.  Do not kill for religion.  Did not Jesus say that if somebody slaps you, turn the other cheek?  If somebody throws stones at you, why give him bread?  If somebody hates you, then retaliate by loving him?  Nobody is immune to Love, especially Divine Love.  So look at your religion not from the emotional point of view but from a rational one.  Study.  Research. Practice your prayers and services religiously.  Let loving your neighbors within your church extend to those outside your church; within your circle of friends to those outside your circle of friends; and eventually to within your circle of enemies.

 

When you love even those with diametrically opposed beliefs, then you have truly gotten the word of God into your hearts.

 

As for you AGNOSTICS, FREETHINKERS, you have not studied enough. Research some more.  All of you, who do not believe in God, get rid of that intense false pride.  You know very little.  God is the best scientist of them all.  If you cannot understand, it is because you have not tried enough.  Practice yoga.  The enlightenment that goes with it will make you conducive to spiritual awakening.  Do it..  Then study man and his destiny.  Look at the heavens.  Study the occult sciences.  Study astrology.  Then pray.  Just pray to the Unknown Force, to the Unknown Spirit, to the Unknown Universal Consciousness for guidance, then meditate, and sometime in the coolness of the early dawn, Awareness will descend on you.  You will become a believer in God.  Your honest search, your effort, following the Law of Effort, will be rewarded by belief in God.  And from there you can start climbing the infinite stairs of spiritual perfection.

 

And this goes true for you avowed COMMNISTS, or CAUSE-ORIENTED PARTISANS, who seeing the plight of the poor concluded that there is no God.  But the disparity is a living proof of His mighty presence.  He did not create a factory of robots partaking of the same energy force.  He created man destined to be unequal in surroundings but later on to be equal in destiny.  The inequality is supposed to be leveled not by the force of arms and guns or rhetoric but by Love.  Love is the glue that will level the uneven distribution of attributes and later glue them back to the Creator.  The key therefore is not in hatred for the capitalists, the military, or the elite.  The key is Love.  Have faith.  For Love will conquer all.  And besides, do not look at suffering as mere suffering and punishment.  It is a process of purification.  In your confrontation with capitalists, start the session with prayers.  It will work wonders.  Also, do not concern yourself with material attainment.  Your ideology is not geared towards that.  It is more suited to the propagating of Love --- if you know how.  It is suited to the elevation of the higher spirit of man, the elevation of brotherly Love.  So do not despair if you do not attain material abundance.  Yours is for the perfection of man's higher motives.  But you failed to relate it to God.  Research some more along the ESP line and you will stumble on the 100% certainty of the existence of the spirit world.

 

And once you do, pray.  And the spirits will guide you.  Why, you will be able to build your own church built on the foundation of equal brotherly Love.  Such is the working of God.  He writes a straight line in a crooked way.  All paths will eventually lead to Him the Creator.

 

As for you, BUDDHISTS and adherents of the rejection of all desires, you are very near the Truth.  Your nirvana is at the doorstep of heaven as you have detached yourselves from material things.  Reach out a hand for the Love of God to lift you up to enter the gates of heaven. Love for your fellowmen graduating into Love of God is your key that will open the gates of heaven for you to partake of the serene contentment and endless happiness in heaven that your detachment idea refuses to recognize.

 

And now to cap this long dictation

 

Since the time Jesus Christ came into the world and elevated and recognized man by taking a physical body of man, Satan became very envious and did every thing to thwart the rapid growth of Christianity.  Thus, he was able to retard the growth when he energized the selfish and proud part of the translators and those in charge of propagating the Bible.  So what came out was a relatively tame Bible that could not render Satan inutile.  Thus, in the history of Christianity, reincarnation and karma were taken out and placed under study till today.  This hindered the growth of spirituality.

 

Further, the Left energized the pride of those on top so that they believed in themselves.  They believed in their "infallibility" with "the Church cannot err in its teachings."  So possible corrections of their error from us Archangels were rendered impossible.  And because of intellectual pride, they stopped on further study and research other than what they knew two thousand years ago, so that now they cannot even explain the simple “indwelling of the holy spirit."  They cannot cure (majority of them); they cannot communicate with the spirits, with us.  And so throughout history, we send messages through channels but these fell on deaf ears with churchmen insisting on the truth of their doctrine backed up by their infallibility theory.

 

It is not late today.  The Church to correct itself rapidly must devise its own way of communicating with the spirits lest it be left behind.  As we suggest in the very important message of March 16, the priests can communicate with us by simply opening their "third eye."  Along this line, they can study and research.  Or they can swallow their intellectual pride and ask the advice of people who have succeeded in opening their third eye.  And we will enlighten them.  And our messages will be easier to accept as they can easily be verified.

 

If the messages were not channeled directly to them, the answers are varied. First, they have shut out spirit communication.  Second, because of their belief of infallibility and since our messages will correct  their sacred beliefs these will just be consigned to limbo in an obscure library awaiting further confirmation, as what happened to parts of the Bible that were taken and classified as "For further study." Third, it is one way of subtly reminding them of their being remiss in their duties. God the Father is not 100% satisfied with their performance.  Fourth, to channel the messages to a pillar of one church will arouse the intellectual pride of the other churches.  So it was decided that channeling should not be to one fully identified with one church.  Fifth, someone who is tasked to do it, the translator who tampered with records of Jesus Christ was given by God the Father through the special intercession of Jesus Christ himself to reconstruct what he tampered with, to rebuild what he destroyed.

 

And so it was decided to send the messages at first through computer, then through radio, but man is not ready technically.  So it was decided to entrust the message to an ordinary man and the task of rebuilding a church to ordinary average men.  God the Father wants the average men because if something came out then man is really ready for Christ's third coming.
