2 Ingredients For Creating Your Miracle

Today, God wants to tell you, “Child, I have given you the capacity to create your miracles. I merely supply the raw materials. But you manufacture the miracles that you need.”

       Today, you will learn how to create your miracles.

Cockroaches In A Retreat Houses

Many years ago, when I was still young and handsome (now, I’m just irresistible), I gave a retreat to a bunch of female college students.

While preparing for my talks in my bedroom, a regular-sized cockroach flew in and buzzed around the ceiling. I didn’t know why I did this, but I found myself pointing my finger to it and commanded, “In Jesus name, come down and die!”

       In a second, I saw the insect hit an invisible wall and it came crashing down on the hard floor, dead as a stone.

Suddenly, I felt powerful. 

I lifted my pointer finger to my lips and blew the imaginary smoke.

       A few minutes later, I was preaching to an enthusiastic crowd of young female college students. 

Remember the cockroach I “killed” in my room?

Without warning, the grandfather of that bug came into the seminar room, seeking vengeance.

It was huge and menacing.

You can just imagine the dramatic effect this had on an all-women audience. They were busy ducking for shelter and hiding beneath desks, and my talk was quickly losing much of its appeal.

       I remembered what I did in my room a few minutes ago.

       I wondered if I should do the same thing—command it to die.

       But this was different.

       I was alone in my room then; Now, I was in front of people.

       What if nothing will happen?

       But I was 19 years old, brash and brave.

So in front of everyone, I pointed my finger to the flying beast and ordered, “In Jesus name, come down and die!”

       And the same thing happened: The flyer nose-dived and splattered its entrails on the cement tiles in front of me.

       Naturally, my audience was shocked. Their jaws dropped, looking at me with pure amazement. In their minds, they were asking, “Who is this man that even cockroaches obey him?”

As if this was an everyday occurrence to me, I casually said, “As I was saying…”

After my talk, I went back to my bedroom. 

That was when I saw another cockroach climbing the bedroom wall. (Out of the kindness of my heart, I shall not divulge the name of this old retreat house.) So with my two recent “power encounters”, I knew what to do. I pointed my finger to it and said, “In Jesus name, come down and die!”

But this time, the crawler kept on crawling.

Thinking that perhaps it didn’t have his antennae’s up, I repeated my command in a louder voice. But the cockroach didn’t show any signs of obeying me.

Suddenly, a clear inspiration from God entered my mind. 

Yes, God spoke to me.

Shockingly, He didn’t speak to me in dignified Old English with the “Thou” and “Thy” and “Thus Sayeth the Lord”. Nor did He speak in Latin. Nor did He speak in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, or any other ancient biblical language.

Amazingly, He spoke in Filipino. 

He said, “Kunin mo yung tsinelas mo at patayin mo! Tamad!”  (Get your slipper and kill it! Don’t be lazy!”) 

And then I heard God laugh. 

And I ended up laughing too.

But I have a serious message to my story.

       I believe that one of the biggest reasons why we don’t receive God’s blessings is because we rely on Him too much.

       Always remember: God won’t do for you what you can do for yourself. If He did, you won’t grow.

Two Essential Ingredients Of Miracles

I’ve realized that miracles consist of blending two important ingredients:

1. Asking

2. Acting

1. Asking

       First, you ask.

       You wish.

       You pray.

       You have a clear picture of what you want.

       That’s why I made the Novena to God’s Love—to teach people to write their 7 dreams. And that’s why I asked you (two weeks ago) to make the WiskKoLord DreamBoard.

       Asking is very important.

       Because it raises your belief—and belief is so crucial to faith.

       But there’s another element.

      

2. Acting

       Once upon a time, I thought faith and action were at war.

       Once upon a time, I thought faith and action couldn’t co-exist.

Once upon a time, I thought that if I really believed that God would heal me, taking care of my health meant I didn’t trust God enough.

Or that if I believed that God would provide, saving money or buying insurance meant I didn’t trust God.

Or that if I believed that God would speak through my preaching, preparing for a talk meant I didn’t trust God.

       How wrong I was.

       I believe otherwise. 

I now believe that the best, loudest, clearest, most powerful, most eloquent expression of faith is action.

       Because faith and action are one.

       You can’t separate them.

       The Bible says the same thing: “Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions.” (James 2:20)  

God’s Hall Of Faith

 

Check these blokes in this list below.

Hebrews 11 in the Bible isn’t your ordinary Hall of Fame.

It’s God’s Hall of Faith.

In it, you’ll find the “Who’s Who” of the Bible.

All the great leaders.

All the patriarchs and prophets.

Read it carefully and check out what kind of faith they had.

To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.   It was by their faith that people of ancient times won God’s approval.  

It was faith that made Abel offer to God a better sacrifice than Cain’s. 

It was faith that made Noah hear God’s warnings about things in the future that he could not see.  

It was faith that made Abraham obey when God called him to go out to a country which God had promised to give him. He left his own country without knowing where he was going.  

It was faith that made the parents of Moses hide him for three months after he was born. 

It was faith that made Moses leave Egypt without being afraid of the king’s anger. 

It was faith that made the Israelites able to cross the Red Sea as if on dry land; when the Egyptians tried to do it, the water swallowed them up. 

Should I go on? There isn’t enough time for me to speak of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets. Through faith they fought whole countries and won. They did what was right and received what God had promised. They shut the mouths of lions,put out fierce fires, escaped being killed by the sword. They were weak, but became strong; they were mighty in battle and defeated the armies of foreigners. (Hebrews 11, selected verses)

       But do you see what I see?

       They call this the Hall of Faith.

       But its’ like a string of blockbuster Action Movies!

       That’s the kind of faith God wants you to have: Faith expressed in action.

       He gives us raw materials.

       It’s up to us to create the miracles!

You’re A Factory Of Miracles

I live in a place where there are lots of factories. 

During the Asian crisis of ‘97, I felt so sad because a lot of those factories closed down.

I felt sorry for them. They had these big machines. They had these conveyor belts. They had an army of delivery vans in the parking lot. But they didn’t produce anything.

Some factories were still running, but were producing only one-fourth of their output. They weren’t running on full-capacity.

Today, the economy is better. 

And those machines are running again at full-speed. Those vans are delivering goods again. Those factories are producing products again. It’s wonderful to see.

Friend, you’re a factory of miracles.

That’s how God made you.

But perhaps the factory is closed down. Or the factory is running at a fraction of its full-capacity.

Today, God will revive your factory of miracles.

Today, I speak abundance into your life.

I command that your factory of miracles start running again.

I declare that your life will produce more miracles than you dreamed possible.

God Gives You Raw Materials

       One of my son’s favorite toys is Lego.

       Once upon a time, we bought him a small set of Lego cubes. 

The entire set had just 10 pieces.

       But in the hands of our son, those 10 cubes became an airplane. It was incredible.

       We were so happy, we gave him more cubes to play with. And he created more airplanes and ships and houses and buildings—he built a whole city.

       I believe God works that way.

       You need to work with what you have.

       You can’t complain, “Why do I have only 10 cubes?”

       That’s not how life works.

       If you only have 10 cubes, work with those 10 cubes.

       Don’t complain that you don’t have enough talents. Don’t complain that you don’t have enough capital to start a business. Don’t complain that you don’t have enough connections.

       You have enough to start something small.

       And as God sees you faithful in small things, God will give you bigger things.

       Soon, He’ll give you more and more raw materials.

       Factories begin small.

       But as it produces more miracles, it grows in size as more raw materials are used. Soon, you’ll be automating your factory.

       With less work, you’re producing more.

When that happens, you’ll experience the Anointing of Ease.

I first heard this from Joel Osteen and I don’t know if he was the first one to use this phrase.

Let me explain what this is.

      

Anointing Of Ease

Some religious people think that faith is separate from action because of this phenomenon: The Anointing of Ease.

       They think it’s devoid of action.

       That’s why they like describing a person who is experiencing the Anointing of Ease as someone who doesn’t act, but simply trusts in God.

       But it’s not. 

If you look closely, that anointed person is doing lots and lots of action—expressing his faith.

       It just “seems” so effortless.

I compare the Anointing of Ease to how world-class singers perform.

When I watch Celine Dion, Josh Groban, or Lea Salonga, I get transported to another world. When I hear Regine Velasquez, Sarah Geronomo, or Charice Pempengco, I get mesmerized. When I listen to Martin Nievera, Gary V, or Adrian Panganiban (I’m loyal to my friend), I get awed. They’ve got incredible talent.

But their talent has reached a certain degree where they do it effortlessly. What floors me the most is the sheer ease of their performance. Almost without effort.

The key word is almost. Because you know that’s not true. They’ve had years of practice and performance.

I also compare the Anointing of Ease when I see champion athletes perform like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Rafa Nadal.

The Anointing of Ease is similar to “Playing in the Zone.”

Michael Jordan said that when he’s “playing in the zone”, it’s as though he cannot make a mistake. When he shoots, it’s as though he can’t miss. When he jumps, it’s as though he won’t go down anymore. Everything is easy. Everything is effortless. Everything is fluid. Everything is spontaneous. Everything is happening in slow motion, with the universe conspiring to make him win.

The Anointing of Ease is when you’re no longer rowing, but riding the boat, being pushed by the flow of miracles behind you.

Don’t get me wrong.

You’re still working.

You still have problems.

But supernatural miracles are happening every single day.

At the right time, Divine Interruptions happen. 

God shows up. 

And He says, “Here’s provision. Here’s equipment. Here are the solutions to your problems. Because this is not just your work. This is our work. We’re doing this together. This isn’t just your wish. This is our wish.  We’re wishing this together. This isn’t just your plan. This is our plan!”

Let me give you an example from my life.

Everything Falls Into Place

 

       Twenty years ago, I launched Kerygma magazine.

       I didn’t know anything about making magazines. In fact, I wasn’t a real writer. But looking back, I felt we received the Anointing of Ease. 

       I’m not saying there were no problems. There were.

       I’m not saying we didn’t work. We worked our butts off.

       But I saw God supplying all the raw materials for our miracles. Before we started Kerygma magazine, God already provided the Lego parts for our miracle.

       Thirty years ago, my sister Tina had an officemate named May. Tina invited May to the prayer meeting. May had a sister named Chay whom she also invited to the prayer meeting.

What’s so incredible about that?

Chay happened to be editor-in-chief of MOD magazine, the #1 woman’s magazine during that time. And Chay was our first volunteer to help out start Kerygma. 

And in one year, Kerygma became the #1 inspirational magazine in the country.

       That’s what you call an Anointing of Ease.

       If God wants you to do something, He’ll make the right people walk into your life. He’ll send the necessary raw materials. He’ll arrange everything. It’s as though you’re walking into a playground where every Lego piece has already been prepared in advance for you.

Don’t Settle For A Miracle-Less Life

Right now, you may be facing one struggle after another struggle after another struggle…

       Perhaps you’re buried under a mountain of debts, and you’ve tried everything to get out of it, but it seems as though nothing is working.

       Perhaps your marriage is broken.

       Perhaps you’re worried about your kids going astray.

       Here’s the temptation: To resign yourself to a life of endless struggle. That this is the life God wants for you to live.

Yes, we will always have burdens.

But in life, I believe there are more blessings than burdens.

Yes, there is a valley of tears. It exists.

But I don’t believe God wants you to walk through the valley of tears, not live in the valley of tears. 

Your temptation is to build your house in the valley of tears.

Don’t live there. Don’t make that your address.

Walk through the valley. 

And climb your mountain of victory.

       Instead of rowing, God wants you to ride the wave.

To let the flow of abundance push you to where it wants you to go. Because where it wants you to go and where you want to go is one and the same thing.

Let your factory of miracles start humming again!      

       Friend, you’re a factory of miracles.

Keep asking.

       Keep acting.

       And produce your miracles.

       May your dreams come true,

       Bo Sanchez

  1. Hi Bro Bo,

    Thank you once again for another great article.

    I believe that our God is really a generous God. He is so generous and He really wants to fulfill our wishes however some wishes are not given because we are not acting to fulfill our dreams.

    Thank you for the reminder. :D

    By the way, these lines struck me.

    One of the biggest reasons why we don’t receive God’s blessings is because we rely on Him too much.

    Always remember: God won’t do for you what you can do for yourself. If He did, you won’t grow.

    Thank you for being a blessing to us. Keep on inspiring others. :D

    It’s Your Time by Joel Osteen is a very empowering book to read ;)

    I believe that God will continue to bless you, your family and your ministry!

    thank you,
    Tricia ;)

  3. this was great, thanks

  4. Thank you Bro.Bo for another inspirational message.
    Indeed, by asking repeatedly over and over and over again, day after day, night after night, and by acting upon it, God do really give miracles! I have experience that myself! just months ago, i thought that my sickness has no answer but just chemo drug or a certain medicine that is too expensive you will be sicker just thinking about the cost, comes nature’s herbal medicine created by God (because it is from nature) and now i can control miraculously my cancer cells. How amazing! Just ask and ask and you will see a miracle!!!

  5. You are an inspiration, and a blessing.
    Thank you very much.
    More power.

  6. You are truly an inspiration. Thank you.

  7. Hi!
    I was inspired by your message. Thanks.

  8. Many thanks, Brother Bo. You really are such an inspiration! :)

  9. Sir Bo, thank you for another inspiriing message…..as of the moment i am facing a lot of struggles but when i came to read your message i am revive and inspired to think that counting my blessings is enough rather than thinking of my difficulties…..keep inspiring and please do pray for me…God bless and more power….

  10. Hi Bro. Bo,

    The message is so inspiring. Thanks.

    But I just wanted to know if there’s a way aside from praying to exactly know when to keep on dreaming the dreams you want and when to give up when things aren’t working towards it. I mean, do we know if we’re on the third time wanting to let God kill the cockroach for us and realize that we need to act it out ourselves already.

    In your previous blogs, you mentioned about knowing exactly when to give up and fail: October 2009, “Why You Need to Fail” and June 2009, “Quit Often to Succeed in Life.” For example, if everything’s not working right now, like you’re not there anywhere near your dreams, is it high quit what’s being done in the present moment and perhaps have a 180° turn around and do other things beside by practicing how to fail and quit?

    Well, I just guess I’m so much like Patrick Passive in “Why You Need to Fail.” But then, I like what I’m doing now with regards job. It’s just that it’s really not that earning that much here in the Philippines. Must I quit and go somewhere else abroad which pays much higher to reach your dream goals? Or must I quit and say learn real estate investment or a thing or two in the stock market and or internet marketing because this seems to be like a promising action that would lead me to that coveted dream? It can really be confusing at times.

    Sincerely,
    Oliver

  11. Brother Bo,

  14. Hi Bo!

    I am very interested about your Financial Coaching Program/”creating multiple income streams”. However, I am living overseas. How can I take part/take advantage of this program?

    Thank you and God bless.

    Shella

  15. My wife and I are inspired by your articles. We can’t wait to participate in the Truly Rich Seminar on November!

  16. Hi Bo,

    It’s great to know that we have a Filipino version of someone who believes in the power of law of attraction. You are of the best people I know who is imparting the deeper truth about this law. Above all the resources from the Universe, GOD is actually the source. We might not aware of it but God has already provided us the power to achieve whatever we want.. With the purpose to love GOD more and to love people around us.

    Thanks for letting yourself be a blessing to so many people by sharing your wisdoms.

  17. Dear Kuya Bo,

    I am very grateful to every inspiring article you sent to my email. You are my great mentor next to my parents. I am very delighted to read your articles because every word you use touches me and send this powerful force into my body and poof! gives me energy to continue and remain steadfast in God no matter how enormous the adversities and difficulties I’m facing. God endowed you indeed a great talent to inspire more people to draw them closer to God. I was wishing and hoping that someday I could be a part of your team or maybe set up a ministry in our local area in which me and my father are dreaming of and planning to build a long time ago but was not put into reality. I am positively sure that everything will be possible.

    Thank you again for those wonderful and inspiring messages. More power and God bless.

    Sincerely,

    May

  18. Hi Bo,

    Wow! another wonderful message from God again. Thanks Bo! Thank you so much..Know what I always look forward reading your articles and blogs..As if God is speaking to me..Yes, God is speaking to me..

    You’re right Bo,
    “And as God sees you faithful in small things, God will give you bigger things..”

    Thanks! I’ll see you in Nov.13 seminar :)

  19. I’m so filled with overwhelming OMG-ness right now that I don’t exactly know what to type in here. I want to call my mom but I know that she’s still sleeping right now. I’ve been wishing for so many things and now that I’m getting everything, I don’t anymore know how I should feel. I prayed a novena last week to St. Cajetan and got employed. Gwen (the manager) told me to report on Monday, which is tomorrow, so I called her this morning just to confirm what time I should come in. Then she told me that she talked with the pharmacy manager at CVS Marina last Friday and learned that he was also planning to hire me, and since I applied there first, she thought it would just be fair if she let him hire me. So instead of going to Gwen’s CVS tomorrow, I shall go to CVS Marina. Gwen told me not to worry ‘coz even though CVS Marina was going to be my primary boss, I could also work for her branch and other branches in the area as a floater. It’s just funny how once upon a time, I wished to have both jobs in both locations, then after a simple phone call, that wish suddenly wasn’t a wish anymore but a reality that I must face starting tomorrow. God really works in mysterious ways sometimes. I’m just overwhelmed that my wishes had also been His wishes all along.

    PS: I just realized today is the 17th, the last day of my monthly novena to St. Therese. :)

    PPS: Thanks to Bo Sanchez for always reminding me that prayers are powerful and miracles do happen all the time.

  20. Bro. Bo.

    thank you for your inspiring article…your amazing… I wish you all the success in life especially all your ministry…

    God bless evreyone…

  21. Thanks Bro. Bo, I will apply this in my everyday life!

  22. Hi Bro. Bo!

    I dont know if it’s coincidence but last night I was reading Hebrews 11. I take it to mean to put faith in action and to “persevere” in it.

    As you can see I have a 1+ month old online shop that sells food supplements and beauty products. For one whole month I was aggressively marketing my products online without a single sale. Thoughts of abandoning my idea of being the #1 trusted online seller of these products were running through my head. Discouragement can be so overpowering at times despite my best intentions and I thought I would just throw off everything away.

    Until one Tuesday morning when I opened my e-mail I received an order worth P5900 from someone who lives in France!!! Not bad for a first sale eh?! I thank the Lord for He sustained my faltering faith. He is indeed working wonders. Just the other day I sold products worth P250.

    I hope that my little online business will grow through nurturing my faith and forging myself into action.

    God bless you and thank you for publishing my comments here.

  46. This article came at the right moment of my life.

    One by one small Lego pieces came into my life.

    last June I quit the job I have for 4 years due to some misunderstanding with management.

    I was unemployed since then. However, this gave me time for me to prepare for my PhD Comprehensive Exam (which I passed)

    Two weeks ago a PhD classmate found out that i have resigned from my job. He contacted me for a two-month consultancy project for his company. a short term high paying job. Just what I need to fund for my dissertation.

    This is my first day on the project.

    Hope my story will also inspire others. Keep on guiding the herd!

    Thanks

  47. Thank you for another great article which I could use together with my family. God bless

  48. Hi Bo! This is truly inspiring and I am interested with your financial coaching program creating multiple income. But I also live overseas how can I take part of this program?

  49. Kuya Bo,

    Mukhang patama sa akin ito. Hehehe. :))

    Tama ka! Kung kaya mong gawin, gawin mo. Kung may sapat na kakayahan ka, huwag matakot gawin ang mga bagay. Dahil ang sarili natin mismo ang gagawa ng ating mga gusto. Magtiwala sa sarili at gawin ang dapat gawin upang makamit ito.

    Maraming salamat sa pagsulat ng magandang artikulo na tatama sa akin puso at isipan. Kuya ipagpatuloy mo yan.

    Ngayon… Dapat ko nang gawin ang nararapat! Ang magkaroon ng magandang kalusugan. Maraming salamat ulit! :)

  50. Hi bro Bo!

    The only way to start - Start with what you have…. awesome!

  51. Dear Bro. Bo,

    Thank you for making me laugh and inspired today. For the past few months, I am walking on my valley of tears and there are days, it’s difficult to get up, but not today. I will keep in my mind that God that doesn’t want me to get stuck in my present situation. Soon, I can and I will claim my valley of victories. God Bless.

  52. Good Day Bro. Bo!

    Anyway, this is not a pleasant day for us this time because Typhoon Juan strucks some part of the country but its a good day for all because we strive this another challenge.

    And we all know that it is our chances to stretch of what we have and to test of what we are and to show of what we got because we have faith which is given by God to trust Him, to work with Him and to follow Him in what we plan in our lives.

    He has given all the raw materials and we have to start using it by His guidance…..

    GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

  59. Dear Bo,
    God bless you. You always made me inspired in living and facing life’s challenges. You’re right, sometimes we dwell to live in our miseries and frustrations, and even blaming God for these. Sometimes we seems to forget the vast miracles we always have everyday. Sometimes, we forget how God is good by the problems we have. But you know this article brought me back again to the reality of God’s greatness everyday in my life. I just need to appreciate what I have, for me to act and God will bring me into the life that He wants me, as what the saying goes “Do your best and God will do the rest” right. I sometimes feel alone, throught this article, I am more convinced that God is always with me in everything I do, we just need to trust him, and let my trust in Him shown in all my actions…He is my great provider ever!!!!

  60. Hmmmm..thanks.

  68. Dear Bo!

    Its funny I thought. I have 2 options to make this afternoon. 1 is to read the article of Bo Sanchez because my wife instructed me to read it before she left for work. The other one is to call Mazda Cebu as there is no Mazda here in Davao because LTO guys could not locate the engine number of my car for a week now which is already due for renewal of registration. I haven’t spoken with Mazda Cebu for 1 year believe me. I decided to read Bo’s article first. Immediately after reading a representative of Mazda Cebu called me up. Immediately after! I mean seconds! God is great! God is a source of infinite and surprising miracles! God is good. Now I believe its not funny. Its great!

  69. wow Bo great message….More power….thanks..very inspiring

  71. Good day !
    Pls. let me share with you the story of a miracle of faith that i heared from a priest in one of the women’s retreat. There was this little girl who was scheduled for surgery for a terminal illness. As the anesthesiologist and the surgeon were getting her prep. for the procedure , the little girl was awesomely calm . As the surgeon explained to her that she will be given anesthetic to be put to sleep, the little girl requested if she can say a prayer since — ” My mother said, that i should always say a prayer before i go to sleep… ” So the little girl knelt down on the operating table and said her ” prayer before going to sleep. ”
    the following day, the surgeon was getting ready to make rounds. He asked the nurse ” How’s the little girl ? ” The nurse updated that she was unconscious . As the surgeon went to her room, he knelt down on the little girl’s deathbed and said, ” … True, the surgery was not a success… but, after i watched you yesterday pray your prayer before going to sleep , you gave me back my faith. I went to Confession yesterday and received Holy Communion this morning — after 15 years ! … thank you… ”
    God works in an unexpected and mysterious ways indeed !
    JESUS LOVES YOU !
    Be happy always !
    Thanks Bro. Bo & family !

  72. Thanks so much for those inspiring and uplifting messages… You’re God sent and I was touched by your words again and made me feel I’m not alone in my circumstances but with Him arranging everything in my life. He sent angels and miracles along the way at the right time I’m in need of. Praise and thanks be to God! Without Him, I am nothing.
    More power to you and to everything you do, God bless you and your family.

    I would really like to take part in the seminar regarding financial coaching program. Is there a registration fee? Because you see, I am in so much financial struggle right now. To tell you honestly, I have so many debts and I don’t know how to pay them anymore. I keep on praying to God to please help me with my problem. I need your prayers also that I will be able to get through these struggle. Please Bro. Bo, I need your help.

    Sincerely,
    Roscelle

    God bless you Bo and your family
