Jesus the Anointed One Church (JA1) God's working and outpouring
God's working and outpouring in this Church is really amazing, the signs, wonders, and miracles wrought by the Holy Spirit through inner healing and deliverance are tremendous. Through these manifestations, the Church grew in leaps and bounds. Evangelism, church growth, and church planting just came naturally.
Establishment. The Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Certificate of Incorporation on May 12, 1999, but even before its registration, the Church has carried on its operation for the purpose for which it was established.
Early Accounts. Bishop Art has been pastoring in the province of Batangas for 15 years before Jesus the Anointed One Church was birthed on December 20, 1998 and was incorporated on May 12, 1998 as a full-gospel non-profit organization. Bishop Arthur V. Gonzales is the founding head pastor and president of JA1. On the same year Bishop Art was joined by Reverend Isagani Grospe with a congregation from Laguna province and Reverend Rodolfo Abat, Jr. with members from Lucena. The three pastors and their corresponding leaders joined hands in fulfilling the call of God to JA1 to go further in the field of Inner Healing and Deliverance (IHAD). Against all odds, the three pastors with the JA1 congregation heeded the covenant-calling of the Lord and inched their way to fulfill the instruction they have received in Genesis 12:1-3 and Luke 4:18-19 (NIV).
The Lord has said to Abram, Leave your country, your people and your fathers household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoner and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lords favor.
The Start of Something Big. In the mid-90s, Bishop Arts congregation experienced an exciting stage in life as a high ranking Satanist named Satur commissioned another Satanist to kill Bishop Art and destroy the growing church. During one of their Sunday worship services the Satanist disguised himself as a born-again Christian. All of his schemes were exposed to his surprised as he was confronted by a much greater power, the power of the living God whose presence was so thick on that Sunday service. From then on, weekly prayer meetings and gatherings at the church resulted in the nightly crusade as literally hundreds of Christians and non-Christians from other churches came to the meetings to witness the manifestations of God through IHAD. The preachings were always accompanied by signs and wonders. The nightly crusades would sometimes end till the following morning; people had to be asked to go home to rest and come back the nightly crusade.
The City of Batangas was never the same after this spectacle which went on for months. Lives were changed, broken families were restored, and the oppressed were set free, thus, once again, the phenomenon of the Book of Acts was relived. This province was once a stony ground for evangelism in the 80s. a survey of DAWN 2000 in 1989 shows that Batangas was the ninth most needy province in terms of church planting and evangelism. This became a big challenge to Pastor Art who firmly believes that the preaching of the word of God coupled with the demonstration of Gods power thought spiritual warfare and deliverance would result in great harvests of souls. Through these manifestations, the Church grew in leaps and bounds.
A School within the church. In 1990, part of the growing demand brought about by the influx of church attendees was the establishment of Christ the Lord Institute Foundation (formerly Jesus is Lord Learning Center) head by Bishop Art as president and Mrs. Virginia Laygo as the school administrator. CLI is the churchs school which caters quality education for the pre-elementary, elementary, and high school levels based on the principles of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Conquering the Rest of the World. Through the leadership of Bishop Art along with his associates, God has allowed the JA1 Church to hone and polish its distinct gifting in the IHAD by being able to develop its own curriculum based on structured teaching. A regular IHAD Conference and Ten-night IHAD Crusades were being held annually to equip the church proponents of this curriculum inner healing and deliverance.
It was also during these years when God raised up new breed of leaders, volunteer workers and pastors who were willing to support the leadership of Pastor Art to fulfill the covenant calling of the church. Different satellite network churches started mushrooming across the country since then. In June 2002, it was joined by congregations of 700-1,000 from Tuguegarao (located in Northern Luzon). JA1 International Satellite Churches were also founded in Korea, Italy, Hong Kong, and Macau. Presently, the estimated active members of JA1 are from 5,500-6,000.
To date it has 20 community satellite networks, 18 Batangas town satellite network churches, 12 Oriental Mindoro satellite network churches, one Occidental Mindoro satellite network churches, two Bicol satellite network churches, on Samar Satellite network churches, nine northern satellite network churches, five Cagayan Valley satellite network churches, four Manila satellite network churches, 24 international satellite network churches and still growing.
Fast Growing Church
A fast growing church is making a difference in the lives of many people. Focusing on the mandate of Christ Jesus, they are reaching the lost, empowering the weak, healing the sick, setting the captives free, and sharing the love of God to those who are broken and had lost hope.
JA1 Church is making disciples and conquering the nations to fulfill the great commission, which Christ Jesus has given. Walking step by step, through God's grace, the church grew with impact and the rest was history.
This is a testimony of God's faithfulness in the past fruitful years of Jesus the Anointed One Church.
December 20, 1998 marks the humble birth of Jesus the Anointed One Church. On a Sunday afternoon, JA1 CHURCH, as it's famously known, rise in the service of reaching people for God.
It was an unexpected event.
Led by its founding pastor and president, Bishop Art Gonzales, the leadership of JA1 heeded God’s direction of spreading the fire of Inner Healing and Deliverance.
The start of the journey came not that easy. Skeptics, of course, predicted that the church would not stand against heavy persecution and would soon die. Others thought that the church would continue but would be smaller and far less effective.
Nobody knew from that day what lies ahead for the future of the birthed ministry but one thing is for sure. God had already planned the marvelous things that He will do to JA1 Church.
Against all these odds, JA1 Church faithfully heeded the covenant-calling of the Lord to fulfill the instructions received from Genesis 12:1-3 and Luke 4:18-19.
“The Lord has said to Abram, Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoner and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lords favor.”
Bishop Art Gonzales responded to the call of God and faithfully holds fast to what the LORD had instructed.
Then something big happened.
Through each service of JA1 CHURCH, God demonstrated powerful signs and wonders.
The outpouring of God's Spirit in each meeting was so thick that it resulted to amazing miracles that many had witnessed. It was a mighty outpouring that led people to experience deliverance and inner healing.
Sick people were healed. Demons possessed were set freed. And those who are in bondage were delivered through the power and name of Jesus Christ.
It was an astonishing sight. People witnessed the phenomenon in the Book of Acts as it was once more relived.
Through these divine manifestations of God's presence, the Church grew in leaps and bounds. Evangelism, church growth, and church planting came to a great number. People from different walks of life surrendered their lives to God, made and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal LORD and Savior and experienced the liberating power of the Holy Spirit.
In the Philippines, outreaches and daughter churches were founded stretching from the big islands of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. JA1 became a strategic-territorial church that claimed the land for Christ and saturated it with the Gospel.
But this was only the beginning of something bigger.
Inner Healing and Deliverance Crusades and Conferences were held in different parts of the country. Mission Caravans were also established in every town, province and city. There was a great awakening. Hundreds of people encountered the mighty power of Christ. There were miracle healings, divine restorations and deliverances that proved once again that God is far more than able to the impossible.
Indeed, no one can stop the flowing of God’s manifested power. It was so intense that even different Evangelical and Full gospel churches were imparted with this fire through JA1 CHURCH.
As a result, churches were established in different parts of the globe, stretching from South East Asia, the East Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and Central America.
