Transform Your Thoughts, Transform Your Life
Do you want to change your life?
It all starts with thinking God’s thoughts.
Transformation starts with the renewing of your mind. (See Romans 12:2)
I believe God has a great plan for your life. He wants to pour greatness in you. But God cannot put great things into a small mind.
When your mind is small, you cannot think great things. You need to enlarge your mind. Enlarge your thinking. You need to think God’s thoughts for you to experience God’s things.
Your thinking is so important, because whoever wins in the battlefield of your mind will win in the battlefield of your life…
The Bible says, For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…
Thoughts Are Things
Quantum Physics says everything is energy.
The ground that you’re standing on, the chair you’re sitting on, the sky above, even your human body—all these are really bundles of vibrating energy. A solid brick wall—in its subatomic level—isn’t solid at all, but largely empty space filled with energy.
And here’s the shocking part. Quantum physics says thoughts are also energy. Scientists say there’s really no big difference between a thing and a thought. In one very real sense, thoughts are things.
That’s why thoughts are powerful.
Today, I’ll talk about how your thoughts create your reality; How your thoughts create your destiny.
Here’s the truth: You’re a product of your thoughts. You are who you are because of the thoughts you’ve allowed to fill your mind.
If you transform your thoughts, you transform your life.
A Shocking Story
Let me tell you a true story.
Many years ago, after giving a talk, a Filipina and an American walked up to me. I’ll call them David and Bathsheba. (In a minute, you’ll know why I chose these fictional names.) They acted like they were a couple. But there was something odd about them.
Not only because David was American and Bathsheba was Filipina.
It was also because David was tall, handsome, and young. (More or less like a writer I know. Ahem.)
But Bathsheba was not so tall, not so young, and not so beautiful. And believe me, I’m being very kind when I describe her in this way. If I wasn’t kind, then I’d describe her as really short, really old, and really ugly. But I won’t say that.
(Although I already did. But imagine I didn’t.)
As I looked at them, I was guessing the guy was 26, at most 28, and the woman was 42.
Bathsheba was the first to speak. She said, “Brother Bo, I love your talk on God’s Love. I can identify. Can I share our story with you?”
You can imagine I was all ears.
We sat down and she started talking.
Bathsheeba said, “I was a prostitute in Olongapo. I was a prostitute for 20 years. I have two kids from two different fathers. Prostitution was the only way I knew to feed my children. But I was so tired of what I was doing, one day, while I was at home, I knelt down. I prayed, ‘Lord, I’m going to ask something that seems impossible. I’m ugly. I’m a prostitute. I’ve got two kids from two different fathers. But I need you to rescue me. Please give me a husband. And if possible, give me an American…’”
I wanted to tell her, “Lady, you’ve got guts.”
“Can I continue the story, Sweetheart?” David interrupted.
“Of course, Darling,” Bathsheba smiled.
“At that exact time,” David said, “I was walking on the street when I noticed a house with an open door. I looked through the doorway, and I saw this woman kneeling down, crying. As I looked at her, I began to cry too. I didn’t know why I was crying. I walked through the door. And I noticed, Brother Bo, that the woman was very beautiful…”
I wanted to say, “Are we talking of… uh, her? Or did your tears, uh you know, block your vision?”
Obviously, I didn’t say that. I just nodded my head, realizing once again there are certain mysteries in the world that we cannot solve. The Bermuda Triangle. The Prophecies of Nostradamus. And why David calls this woman beautiful.
David went on. “I introduced myself. We started talking, we started dating, and 6 months later, we got married!”
“Miracles happen,” I said.
“Tomorrow,” Bathsheba said, “we’re all going to the States. He’ll be introducing me to his parents.”
I wanted to say, “God have mercy on you.” My goodness, those parents will need extra-strength grace!
Why I Tell You The Story
Even if this happened many years ago, I’ll never been able to forget this story.
I share with you this story not to teach single women to pray with their door open, in the hope that a potential husband will pass by. That’s not the point and what happened to Bathsheba was absolutely strange.
I share you this story to tell you about the power of thoughts.
Let me ask you. Was Bathsheba ugly or beautiful?
To everyone else, she was ugly. People called her ugly. People mocked her on the street. Being a prostitute was bad enough. What was worse than a prostitute was an old prostitute selling her old body at 85% discount.
Even to herself, she was ugly.
But one day, someone walks into her life and says, “You’re beautiful.”
What is reality? Reality is essentially a product of our thoughts.
Imagine if you think God’s thoughts?
Right now, you may be like Bathsheeba. You feel ugly. You don’t like yourself. And other people don’t like you too.
But I’m here to tell you that God thinks you’re amazing. God thinks you’re beautiful. And that “shift of thought” will transform your life forever.
When you think God’s thoughts, three huge things will happen.
The first thing that will change will be…
1. How You Think About Yourself
It reminds me of another David…
When God was looking for the next King of Israel, God asked Samuel the priest, “I’m choosing a King from the sons of Jessie of Bethlehem.”
So Samuel visited the house of Jesse. “Where are your sons?” the priest asked Jesse. And so the old man called his sons to line up in front of the Prophet. The eldest was Eliab. The Bible describes Eliab was tall, with the body of a body-builder, and good-looking. In other words, he looked like a king.
But God told Samuel, “Not this one.”
I’m sure Jesse was a little bit disappointed. He called his next son to stand in front of Samuel.
And God told the priest, “Not this one either.”
Jesse called the next one. And the next one. And the next one. For every single one of them, Samuel heard God tell him, “Not this one.”
Samuel was confused. So he asked Jesse, “You’ve shown me your seven sons?”
“Yes,” Jesse said, “my seven sons are in front of you now.”
Samuel asked him, “Don’t you have any other sons?”
Jesse said, “I do have one more son. But he’s just a boy. He’s out with the sheep…”
In other words, David was the runt. The youngest. The gofer. The errand boy. Uneducated. Untrained. Rough. Filthy. Smelly. With calluses on his hands, mud on his feet, and sand on his hair. And he doesn’t wear the right clothes. What Jesse really wanted to say was, “Why bother looking at him? You wouldn’t like him.”
But Samuel said, “Call him anyway.”
He was called. The boy stood in front of Samuel. And God told Samuel, “This is the guy I’m choosing to be King.”
Think about it.
David’s father didn’t admire him. His brothers thought he was a pest. But that’s because they were looking at him thinking their thoughts. They weren’t thinking God’s thoughts.
Today, people around you may overlook you. People around you may take you for granted. And if people notice you, they only notice if you’ve done wrong. How you’ve failed. How you’ve messed up. How you fell flat on your face.
But God thinks about you differently.
He doesn’t major in your mess. He majors in your magnificence. He doesn’t focus on your fumbles, He focuses on your fabulousness.
Read the Bible and you see this exact thing happening again and again.
God called Gideon a mighty man of valor when he was a coward hiding from his enemies. God called Peter the “Rock” at a time when Peter was a stumbling, lying, denying fisherman. And God called David “King” when he was but a boy smelling of sheep poop.
Why? Because while you’re still wrestling with your history, God is already talking about your destiny. While your thoughts are still mired in the quicksand of your past, God’s thoughts are already constructing your future.
The Power Of Labels
When you think God’s thoughts about yourself, people won’t understand you. People want you to remain the same. People want you to be consistent with the poor image that they have of you in their minds.
You see, people look at you, and they’ve made already a prediction of what will happen to you in your future. And they want that prediction to be fulfilled.
People have already labeled you “loser” and “failure” and “mediocre” and “hopeless”. And they want you to be consistent with these negative labels they have given you. They don’t want you to shake up their picture of reality.
I want you to stand up and announce to the world, “I’m not the labels you’ve given me. If God says I’m a champion, then I’m a champion.”
Your Existence Means You Won
By the mere fact that you’re alive, you’re already a champion.
Why do I say that?
Think about it. God pre-selected your sperm cell. Your sperm cell out-swam the millions of other sperm cells to connect to the egg cell. At the very moment of your conception, you already won. You’re a champion!
This ordination, this Divine pre-selection isn’t based on the good that you’ve done, on whether you’ve been faithful in your prayer time, or whether you’ve been doing your Bible reading, or whether you’ve been going to Mass, or whether you’ve been a good boy or a good girl. Because before you were in the womb of your mother, you weren’t praying yet. You weren’t doing any good yet. And yet God already saw something good in you.
The Bible says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
God spoke that to Jeremiah but I believe He says the same words to you.
Today, God will re-introduce you to who you really are.
He will lift the curtain, the veil that separates you and who you really are deep in your soul.
People around you will say, “That’s not you. I’ve seen you before. You’re weak. You’re a failure. You’re a nobody. You’re a wimp. You’re a jerk. You’re a coward. You’re a liar. You’re a hot head…”
You’ve got to tell them, “Yes, that was me. But let me introduce you to the new me. Your definition of me is based on past information. My definition of me is based on God’s thoughts about who I really am…”
And if you think God’s thoughts, something else will change…
2. How You Think Of Your Problems
One day, I was facing a huge problem. I felt so troubled, I didn’t know what to do. I was already having sleepless nights. My wife would wake up at 3am and she’d find me still awake, tossing and turning in bed.
So finally I called up one of my Mentors. I described the problem. Every detail I could remember, I shared to him
My Mentor was very patient listening to my story.
And then he said something that I’ll never forget. He said, “Is that all? Bo, that’s nothing! That problem is so small, you’re bigger than this. You’re so big, that problem is like dust in your shirt. Like lint in your clothes. Like mud on your shoes. You’re so much bigger! And Bo, you’ll have more of those tiny problems. They’re so small, just flick them…”
This wasn’t a nice friendly counseling session. He was my Mentor and he had my permission to be brutal with me.
His words changed me. That night, I slept like a babe.
Because he made me realize I was a giant! Why be bothered by tiny problems?
And soon enough, those problems that I thought were gigantic blew away like mist. I troubled myself for nothing.
Here’s what I learned. The reason why we think our problems are big is because we think we’re small. But when we change the way we think about ourselves, we change how we think about our problems too.
And remember: To God, all your problems are small.
The Bible says, Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning…
And finally, when you think God’s thoughts, you also change one last thing…
3. How You Think Of Your Future
I love this message because this is my story.
Who would have thought that a victim of sexual abuse would be writing this to you now? Who would have thought a porn addict of 20 years would write 25 bestselling books, publish 8 magazines, and preach around the world?
This can only be God’s doing.
God doesn’t define you by what you’ve done. He defines you by what He has done in you.
When God talks about you, He prophecies of things yet to come.
Friend, you’re future is out-of-this-world beautiful.
Perhaps you’re like Bathsheeba. Perhaps you feel this is a dead-end for you right now. That all hope is gone.
But believe that each day, God walks into the open door of your life and says you’re future is beautiful. He will change everything. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen. Just keep that door open. Just never give up.
Think God’s thoughts.
And you’ll never be the same again.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

Thanks for this very inspiring message Sir Bo. This is so timely, because a month ago I experienced emotional breakdown because of my work, and my life is full of fear… Fear… that what if I can’t find a job how will I survive and my family. I feel then that my life is a mess.. i know emotionally it was unhealthy.. So then I decided to quit… I don’t know if my decision was right, but after I resigned I feel lighten and free… and somehow, my fear are starting to disappear because I believe that God prepares something good for me. For now, even though I’m on my job hunt, the courage and the strength that soon I will find the right job for me is there and I’m very positive that God will give it to me.. I;m claiming it.. because I know God will never leave me…because we are all special in the eyes of God…

Really Love this Line… “God doesn’t define you by what you’ve done. He defines you by what He has done in you.”
hi bro. Bo,
another wonderful sharing to start the week! God is so good that despite my weaknesses and failures, He sees the beautiful, magnificent and fabulous that is within me. Godbless you and your family.
Thanks Bro Bo. I am almost jobless for a year now. But He made a way for me to have an income. Though I may have missed a lot of amortization to pay, I know God isn’t finish yet in polishing my problem solving skills. Though some of my friends whom I trusted to lend money ran away from me, there are still some who trusts me whole heartedly and believes that I am great in making business’. I’ve been sleepless for so many nights, but I meditated on Jesus who was sleeping like a baby in the midst of the sea, and storming very hard. After I have to myself, “Pinapasa Dios ko na”, a friend called me up for another business opportunity. a sound one, much better. When I was all hands down, God still gives me a kicker to stay standing still. I’ll be needing help from other friends, but I know He always makes a way. I really get to read and listen to “Thoughts are things”. I find it hard to understand and believe a lot of times. after gruelling with my mind, I would give up, listen to my heart and have FAITH that God will make a way, and He isn’t finish with me yet. Thanks very much Bro Bo for your soul lifting stories.
Thanks brother Bo for the inspiring message. Let me share my one favorite verse in the Bible:
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” - Phil 4:13
thank you bro. bo for the messages we get from your soulfood newsletters. it is truly inspiring… more power! God bless you abundantly.

Thank you so much, Bro Bo. for an inspiring message. I do believe in the power of positive thoughts.

I took the time to read this article…and voila…it contained all the things that I needed…I am down and greatly troubled…I am the breadwinner of our family and is on the brink of losing my new job and have been praying on what to do next. What does the future hold for me…I am looking at myself as a total failure..but after reading this article…it made me realize…Yes …God is there for me…I should believe in what He has in store for me…I can do this. I will survive …after all He has created me and He never created failures….thanks Bo for making me realize this .

Bro Bo,
This message is AWESOME ! Continue to be God’s messanger. God Bless you more!
Thank you Bo for sharing with us, it open our heart and soul. It give us hope. Thank you Lord for having Bo in our life.
Thank you for always giving uplifting articles. I am here in Australia, struggling to find a job. Sometimes I get depressed because it’s been two moths since I have arrived here and yet I still wasn’t able to get a job. It’s very frustrating at times esppecially when you receive a negative reply but throughout these trials, always hold on my faith in GOD. I still felt blessed because I have met good people who are ready to lend their hand to me.
Again, thank you so much. I always read your articles because it is always comforting and inspirational.
May God continue to bless you in all your endeavors.
Thank you very much Bo. It was very awesome and may the blessing return to you, that there is no room to accomodate.
I just want to thank you, bro. bo…for this uplifting and inspiring message…God bless always =)
Thank you Bro. Bo for this inspiring message. I feel like I want to shout to the world that “I am God’s Champion!” Thank you, thank you very much!
More power Bro. Bo and may God increase you more than you can imagine.
Bro Bo!
Thanks a lot for this timely words of you! Problems really bothered me so much this fast days coz my mother is in the hospital as of now. My father just died last Oct. I’m very down right now thinking what will happen to my mother. So many thoughts coming out from my mind. After reading this article of you, I feel relieved! Nothing to worry about! God piloted our lives! Everything happened with His divine guidance.
Again, Thank you very much Bro. Bo!
Just need some prayers,
Rolando
this really explains why. lately, I have been really awed by the power of my mind and words. it’s the energy that I emit. a lot of things amazed me recently because there are things that I have been thinking and I have seen it become a reality immediately, good or bad. i’m already 35 years old and still single and one time, while I was in the middle of traffic along EDSA, I shouted loud inside my car out of frustration and asked God to please give me a man ready to get married. Lo and behold! after a week, I met someone who was in a rush to get married. After 2 weeks of seeing him, he would like to marry me. problem was, I don’t like him at all and he was pestering me for a year now. I really regret that day along EDSA and it dawned on me that I wasn’t specific with my order from the universe. You get what you order.
I am guarding my thoughts and words now. I am now being specific. Still struggling. I don’t want to give up.
Thank you, Lord for seeing me so beautifully. Thank you, Bro. Bo, for reminding me of this awesome truth today. I am indeed beautiful and worthy, a champion, and extravagantly a blessing!
I read it again from top to bottom even if I have personally heard this during your Glory to Glory feast in Davao on Dec. 3…It was and will continue to inspire me..How blessed we are to have attended the Kerygma Feast. More power and May God continue to use in blessing other’s lives. Merry Christmas Bro. Bo.
thanx much sir bo…every time i will be reading your message, my fears and disappointments in life were vanished little by little. You really inspired me a lot. Hope to receive more inspiring thoughts from you.
Thank you so much Bro. Bo……reading your articles couldn’t have come in more desperate times. Somehow I’m beginning to believe that it’s not really too late for me to change for the better. I’m clinging to GOD’s promise that my future IS beautiful…..
Thanks a lot , tamang tama, je, je, je hindi maganda ang Monday morning ko, maganda at masaya na me, dahil tamang-tama lang etong article na to. Marami akong nakamindset sa utak ko, na dahandahan napapalitan dahil sa mga articles mo,like yong mindset na lintik lang ang walang ganti, sino siya?, may araw ka rin. Marami akong attitudes na gumaganda dahil sa kasesermon mo, este dahil sa palagi mong pagpapadala ng email, pag tinatamad akong magwork, binabalikan ko at binabasa yong mga emails mo. Hindi lang naman yong moral of the article, kundi the way you write, yong mga jokes na medyo , ehem,ehem , hahaha, pareho lang siguro ang mga kiliti at vibrations natin, kaya click yong mga articles mo sa akin, hindi boring, but what I really like about you is your “HONESTY”, salamat talaga.
so timely message Bro Bo. Thanks for this very insipiring message. My boss is thinking me small but now after reading this article, I have nothing to worry coz I know I’M A CHAMPION. God doesn’t define me by what i’ve done. He defines me by what He has done in my life. Thank you Lord for using Bro Bo as instrument of your love. God bless!
wow! this lighten up my day. These inspire me think
bigger bolder and brighter. these also gives me a realization not bother my self react to those negative
people who says negative things about me. My energy is precious it is practical to put this on something good that gives a millions and fortunate returns.
Bro. Bo… God bless you more on what you are doing in one’s mind.. you superbly create a positive thoughts. May you continuously inspire everyone who reads your soulfood… . May your family and friends shares more blessings with you too . Many many thanks. God bless.
Hi Bro. Bo,
Thanks a lot again for being one of the persons who remind us all of how beautiful life is. I also have to say that I always like the humor in your writings.
True enough, that we are the product of our thoughta. As much as the fact that we cannot control the thoughts of other people about us is already granted. We can still let them see who we are by thinking positively about ourselves. If we think we are beautiful and amazing people, our attitude will follow that thought and that’s exactly what we will reflect to the people around us. No wonder why charming and positive people are more attractive than those who are just physically beautiful but with a poor thought about themselves.
God bless us all!

Hi Bro Bo,
Thank you for yet another inspiring message.. Mondays has always been a struggle for me the past few months … Its seems that at the start of every week, I get to receive not so good news from home… e.g.. my father got sick, hospitalize and all sorts of family problem. Being away from home is really bit more of a challenge, problems consumes me and at times I feel hopeless… But God has been good to me…I always have your article to read on week after week….. making me realize that I am bigger than my problems..and that God is bigger than my problems..Thanks you for sharing your thoughts to us..Continue to be a blessing to everyone … God bless you and your family
Simply beautiful words beyond explanation. Thank you very much Bro Bo!!! 2011 is a great year for me I achieved a lot in my own little ways. Thank you very much for the inspiration and for reminding us that we are God’s champions… and most of all praise God for making you a wonderful instrument of His words.. of His love… of His blessings!!!
God bless you more and your family. Have a blessed Christmas!!!
AMEN!
thanks Bro. Bo! very much inspiring and uplifting.. I really love this part
“Yes, that was me. But let me introduce you to the new me. Your definition of me is based on past information. My definition of me is based on God’s thoughts about who I really am…”
at some point of my life I felt so down and drowning.. i can hardly breathe while crying my heart out.. I even question God on what He really want me to do and after those moments He molded me without realizing it.. everything i have now is the answer of what God’s really want me to become.
Thanks you so much Bo for reminding me and for guiding me.
Thank you very much. This message is very timely & lighten up my day.
God bless you more and your family.
My thoughts grows wider. May you continuously inspire everyone who reads what you have thought to inspire us and may lots of people discover you everyday too as I did.
God bless you more and your family. Have a blessed Christmas!!!
thank you for the wonderful message today
Whew I could not express how much I was touched by your message once again Bro. Bo. I wish many of my family members & friendstakes time to ponder this article of yours. I know this is another masterpiece of yours worth keeping. Thank you for such marvelous message.
Hi Bo! Thanks so much for this wonderful message for anybody that has struggled in their own life. Just like me, i was so very disappointed when my fiancee left me alone after 29 months of full of happiness and dreams. Nawala ang lahat ng un, dhil Pinagpalit nya ako sa mas gwapo, matangkad at may kaya sa buhay kesa sa kin. it’s been already 2 weeks na akong di makatulog ng ayos kakaisip what went wrong. Di makakain. Nawalan ng gana sa trabaho.
But everytime na makakabasa ako ng article mo every monday, nag babago ang takbo ng isip ko. Nagkakaroon ako ng encouragement. Your thoughts (God’s words) motivates me to stand still at magpakalalaki. Palagi akong nagpPray to God give me comfort.
And now im still not losing hope and Faith. I knew, in God’s time, He will desire to give me all that i need in my Life. and save me to be with Him in heaven after this life.
Thank you Bo and your staffs.
God bless you and us more.. =)
God is so good indeed. His thoughts are not like ours. Truly, He is wonderful, unfathomable and a merciful God!
Thanks Brother Bo for sharing these wonderful stories. You envigorated me once again.
This article is soooo good that I was also curious of how others reacted to it.
I read almost all of them but cannot fully understand the Spanish one.
Thinking of God’s thought means being studious of the Word of God - The Bible. The Bible is God’s love letter to us. There everyone would know God’s real thoughts of how we should think and say and do.
Read: Joshua 1:8 KJV. Our Beloved Pastor- Benny M. Abante preached on this and entitled it “The Formula For Success”. The gist of which is: Meditate on God’s Words day and night and act accordingly.
Gosh! if i wasn’t at the office by this time im already cring like a river!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i felt like crying for three times!!! indeed, there are things that’s already a given right in front of our very eyes but most of the time we need to be reminded for us to pay attention… Thank you so much Bro.

Dear Bo, Thank you so much for this fantastic message! Your stories continues to enlighten me truly god is so good that he never ceases to lift and and carry who are heavily burdened. It was so amazing evrytime im faced with a problem your stories and messages never fails to connect to my problems that me realized that god is always with me guiding me through your stories and messages. Thank you so much bro bo may you continue to prosper in giving god’s messages and may continue to enlighten people who are at lost and struggling. Salamat po Mabuhay po kayo.
Thank you, bro. Bo!
What an amazing lesson to learn today. How great are God’s thoughts and how great are it’s effect in one’s life. I am so blessed by your words of wisdom. Just in time when I needed it most. Just received a good news after applying what you have preached. Truly, God’s thoughts have power so more practice to apply in my life. Am quite excited on how it will change my life to the better and the best. More power! God bless you always and your family!
Thank you Bro. Bo for reminding me always how God loves me. I am very strong person in the outside, but a broken one on the inside. People always see the bad things I’ve done and for them, i am hopeless. They even cursed me that someday, i’ll find myself alone. And that always breaks my heart. I think, this affects me a lot. Because everytime i’m doing something good, i dont know, subconsciously, i’ll be doing something bad so my image to them will remain. But now, i’m taking steps slowly to becoming a NEW ME. Every morning, as i wake up, i’ll say with conviction “Today, is a beautiful day” and that way, i feel so good about myself and feel good through out the day. Even if my day is not good at all, i’ll still say that it’s a beautiful day, and it makes me focus on what’s good that happened to me that day. Thank you so much Bro. Bo…im praying that sooner, i’ll be part of your feast. Thank you for reminding me how God loves me. You’re God’s answered to my prayers. thank you for inspiring me and bringing me closer to God. More power to you Bro. Bo and may our good Lord continue to bless you as you are a blessing to many. Let me say, “I Love You” Bro. Bo…You’re the brother i never had. Thank you.
Dear Bo,
You are the HERMES of the present times, Your message struck to the core of my existence. it ht me right side up. Your trained speakers in blue Jeans during the kerygma conference in cebu were healing me specially their books too. I will b ushering again in Kerygma Conference 2012 for champions srise because I am a champion among the rest of those who believe in their greatness through God’s perspective. Meley
You never fail to uplift my spirit bro. Bo!! You are such a good writer.
I always look forward to reading your articles…. and guess what? I am saving all of them in my file, so I can always browse and read them once more …. Btw, I am also a truly rich club member. I want to thank you for all your amazing pieces of advice. May God continue to bless you more and more!!
John 14: 13-14 says: “And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it ” I have this bible verse written in big bold letters and pasted on the most visible part of our bedroom wall. Everyday I see it and it always gives me strength to carry on and believe that God will take care of our requests. In some unanswered prayers sometimes God does not mean no but not yet. God bless you Bro Bo for your advocacy. Mabuhay ka!
Thanks, Bro. Bo! If God says I’m champion, then I AM a champion! God bless!
hello Bro. Bo! i clearly remember this speech of yours in the Kerygma Conference here in Davao last Dec. 3… honestly, even though i already heard the stories written, i still feel very enlightened and happy about the words… because i know God gave these words to you to share unto us…:)
thank you for being a blessing… may your dreams come true too
God bless you..^_^
Bro. BO,
I’m very grateful to have read your wonderful & inspiring message you’ve written to us. this is my first time to post a comment regarding your article though I’ve been reading all of these several months now. truly, God is so amazing! I could only imagine Him speaking in front of me while reading your articles. God has made you an instrument to channel His message to us through you. And I also believe that He made me for a purpose too, that He loves me so dearly as much as He loves you. Though I’m still jobless right now, my insecurities & fears are overwhelming, I believe deeply in my heart that He will never abandon me & fail me. I will always put my hopes in Him & praise Him again & again for God deserves it. Thank you Bro. Bo for this powerful message. God will surely continue to equip you & your family with inner strength from His glorious, unlimited resources. Hoping I could meet you in person.
Thank you so much Bro Bo. This is actually my first time to read your article til the last word. I don’t know what pushed me to keep on reading but I just did. This is something and it made me shed tears while reading. This is life-changing. This contains everything that I need to go on through life.

Hi, Bo.
Great article! We are who we think we are!
I read a book discussing NOETIC SCIENCE. I think it describes the same thing - thoughts have energy and may be combined to actually make things happen.
Thank you for writing it in a way that more will understand and get convinced.
God bless you for blessing others!

Good Day Bro. Bo,
Truly GOD moves and works in myterious ways, i was really thinking of the word transformation yesterday because of my huge problems. Your article today is very timely, it helps.
Merry Christmas and a Blessed Happy New Year to All.
Dear Bro Bo,
Thank you for uplifiting my spirit. I was so inpired on how you describe the characters of the story and you made me realize that everything began on how we think of ourselves.
Now I can say ” I am Gods precious Gem and I am His beloved”
Thanks again and God Bless.
B-anne
Thanks brother Bo. I loved it, it really changed a lot about my thinking..God bless you more my brother in Christ. I have a special request brother Bo, please I want to read an article of you about the Holy Spirit, I want to know more about Him. Thanks again and God bless you…
Thanks Bro. Bo for another inspiring message.
I remember in my former company, my superiors didn’t like me so they won’t promote me. They wanted me to remain where I was. They didn’t believe in me. They won’t let me to grow. Worst came. I was in so much pain that time, but I stayed strong. I thought God was just testing me. I was wrong. Slowly, He was making a way to get me out of that situation. I listened to Him and I resigned from the company (with no questions asked). I just followed Him. That’s when I realized that He wanted me to be big. He wanted me to start my mission. Right now, I’m starting to discover and learn it. I’m starting to grow in His love. He transformed my thoughts and now these thoughts are transforming my life and sooner will transform life of many people.
thank you brother Bo.. u have been an inspiration to me.. i thank God for such a gift of knowing a person like you.. i am enjoying my journey to God and His promises..
I was rummaging through my numerous emails, when I came across this article, started reading….
You see, we are in the process of leaving a house for an apartment. We are scared of not making the rent payment every month for a year and the monthly utility bills that goes with it., insurance , etc..etc..
My husband and I would argue about our capability of sustaining this, and I would shot back about God not letting us down since we got married and has sustained us up to now, and even in the future ahead of us. God will not just sustain us but also will bless us abundantly with more than we need and could use. I believe that with all my heart, I am totally at peace with this move we are going to make.
But not at first. I was scared too. Everyday, I would lay this fear at God’s feet and moan and groan and cry out to Him. After a week, the fear disappeared like a puff of smoke and never came back. What I got was the peace and confidence that God will never abandon us…
This article touched me, it rang true…God bless you Bro. Bo…
Brother Bo,
Thanks for your article’s I’m experiencing emotional breakdown my fiance dump me because she cant take always cheating on me for 6th time she does it to me she leaves me. And call off the engagement after all the forgiveness I’ve done she left me I know it’s my fault too because I tolerate the things that she do for her not to leave me because I trusted God so much that somehow my fiance will change for good. Because for me God also tolerates the things that We done wrong and waited for us people to change. When she left me today I don’t even speak I said I forgive her after she told me her reason’s I’m in so much pain right now BO I just can’t find the will to pursue my plans to go abroad for her for our future, I always read your articles to find wisdom and strength through God’s words thank you BO I pray to God that somehow He answer my prayers my only dream is to have my own family and settle down. God bless you more Brother Bo.
Thank you Bro. Bo, for such an inspiring message.. Of all your articles, this is by far my favorite. God bless..
Wonderful story, Bro. Bo.
Think God’s thoughts.
Bro Bo,
Thanks for the very inspiring message..God bless you, your ministry as well as your family…
Thank you Br.Bo BRAVO!!! Amazing story…i am very glad & happy to receive all these messages every week ‘though am far from home Phil.
Wish you & your family a Blessed Holiday season!!!!
Thank you Bro. Bo for the inspiring message. More power to you and to your ministry. God bless and merry christmas!
Thank you very much! We are bigger than our problems.. And God is with us! We can do this! Ajjjaaa!
Just what I needed Brother Bo..
It has been pretty hechtique at work and I couldn’t seem to cope up since the system is completely different here than there in our country. I felt like my boss and my workmates are loosing their confidence on me. I am trying my best, yet it is still not enough. I still make mistakes. I keep on praying everyday to get better, yet I couldn’t avoid to be scolded. They make me feel I couldn’t amount to anything.
As I read this, I became optimistic. Indeed, God has created me to be his Powerful Champion. It is not the people that I must please, it must be the Lord. And now, whatever happens, I surrender them all to Him. I will do more, I will extend more effort..for God’s glory. I will worry no more because I know He is there to guide me.:)
Thanks bro Bo. This is very inspiring and very timely for me! God bless you more.
Bro. Bo your message is very inspiring. I love to read your messages sent to my email, it helps me a lot in my day to day life, it changes my thoughts, it gave directions to my life. Thanks a lot and more power hope to meet you and attend some of your talks in the near future
Hi Good Morning Brother Bo. thank you very much amazing and inspiring message…God bless you always!!!!
Tnx for another inspiring message Bro. Bo… It was indeed shocking to know that we can really transform ourselves into GIANTS… much bigger with our problems… emotionally I’m down right now coz my mum just passed away last Nov. 24 (she’s 65 yo) and I can’t move on… it was so painfull even if we were preparing ourselves for the past 8 years (2003 my mother was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer stage 3)… when I talked during her necrological I shared how my mom’s life was… just like your story no one believed in her during her younger years that she will succeed in life… she only finished Grade 6 (but as a valedictorian) but was forced to stop just to let her siblings have their education. Three of my mom’s sisters are Professionals now… I mentioned in my talk… “Though I prayed hard for the total healing of my mother… I’m prepared that my prayer will not be answered… but looking back, it was noy an unswered prayer at all… because I realized that if God’s response to your prayer is negative… His reasons are positive…” True enough Bro. Bo, I can’t wish my mom back to suffer that pain again…
thank you for all your inspiring message…
thanks you so much. really inspired me & change the way i think about myself & everything. super love it :)))
Thank u so much for the inspiring article. I was very very down when I woke up this morning with all the worries and anxieties brought about by my being dismissed from my job of 31 years last December 6, 2011. Since then until now I have been having sleepless nights with the thought of how to pay existing debts like housing loans and other personal loans and cope up with everyday expenses with only my husband working. Bro Bo I have to be honest even my prayer has been in a mess. I could not concentrate on my prayers because my worries would just come in especially during my time with God. HOWEVER, with your article I feel relieved and inspired that GOD is really and ever GOOD. First in God Whispers which I received last Dec. 9 He answered me and I now can laugh when I pray and smile to GOD for He answered me. Then this article which I read today. Thank you and more power.
dear bro bo,
i have been reading your emailed writings to me since you put up your website and was touched by every article you wrote but this article pricked my heart so hard that i cant help but cry. This story is my story, i am neither batsheeba or david in your story but i am not a f
I’m praying that I can change my unhealthy thoughts to good one.Thank you Lord for loving me..us.:D
Dear bro bo,
i am sorry for the unfinished reply. As i was saying i was not the favorite child so to gain my father’s attention, i obeyed all he wanted for me, excelled in school, gain honors for him, won in so many contests but still i felt i am not a favored child. Until God transformed me. Now, i am confident that even if i am not a favored child by my surrogate father, my real father, God, loves me very much and never abandoned me so everything i do, i give honor to Him by obeying Him, loving Him and fearing Him. And i feel so great about this!
Merry Christmas to you, Sister Marowe, Bene and Francis. The boys are grown-up now and i miss the times when we played with them while visiting davao. God bless! Emmanuel!
Think God’s thoughts.
And you’ll never be the same again…..
Amen to that!
Dear bro Bo,
I heard this talk last KCON 2011 in Davao. I volunteered as one of the ushers. At 59, I think that’s quite strenous standing there for long periods and feeling tired on my feet. But there were vacant seats in front and my kind leader told me to take my seat in the vacant seats while they were still unoccupied.
I think God reserved that one seat for the weary usher! It was more of a reservation for a blessing that I will long remember!
And so I had the chance to listen to this talk just a few meters away from you. I felt so blessed by that very inspiring and enlightening talk that I prayed that one of these days I would be able to read that talk. and now here it is.
Most of my friends who were there felt the same way too. It was God who spoke to us on that day, using you and the other powerful speakers as His vehicle of transformation of our minds and hearts.
And do you know that your words found new souls a week after your talk? Last week, I had the chance to give an inspiring talk to some college students and I found myself sharing your thoughts and that of Bro Alvin who was also electrifying with his “Go for Glory” talk.
All of you are filled with the Holy Spirit. It was a day of celebrating the glory of God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit! I can’t help myself volunteering again for KCon 2012!
God bless you Bro Bo and all your confidants who never fail to touch the hearts opened by the Love of God!
thank you my idol in the world,bro. bo…

Hi bro Bo,
Thank you so much for that wonderful and inspirational mesgs.Indeed, it’s a self reviving.I really learned a lot from it.Godbless u more and more success..
very inspiring. me and my husband attended the conference last dec 3 in davao city, oh my, you and your team is full of Power. we enjoyed it very much. looking forward to next year’s conference.
Hi Bro. Bo,
I don’t know if you’ll gonna read this message. But i still put a comment in this message. Thanks for reminding me of How God see each one of us. This is timely, because I’ve been facing my problem that i am always avoiding. Can i share something? Lately I’ve been dealing with the problems in my past. And like you i was sexually abused when i was a child and the only difference is that i didn’t know about it. It was too late when i found out that i have been abused and done nothing but to continue abusing myself. I never thought that its been an addiction to me now of being used not just by the people around me but the worst thing is doing it with myself. Im facing it now alone because no one knows about it. Then i tell myself to stop those addiction and i just realized that it is hard. Everytime i make the same mistake i feel very dirty. i feel like I’m no longer worthy to talk to God. that I am a sinful person. I feel ashamed of myself that it lead to spiritual dryness. and thanks to this message. It made me learn something. You are right God see whats beautiful in us. and He has prepared something for us. Thank you so much.after reading it i feel blessed and finally decided that whatever happens in my past i’ll just forget it, and let God handle it. Because i know He has a better solution and plan for me. How i wish that you can be become my adviser. Maybe you can help me overcome this addiction of mine since we have the same experience before. Thank you so much again. And may God bless you more so you can bless more people.
Bro. Bo,
Greetings of Peace!

I just read Bo’s book “5 Things You Need To Do Before You Die”. I strongly recommend it.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Dear Bro Bo,
Thank you so much for this inspiring message, i just only wish i’ve read it earlier and forwarded to my husband and who knows I might save his life. He needed this most, the meaning of his existence to us and his family, how we should think of our problems and our future. I am in deep emotional stressed at the moment because my husband had passed away a few days ago, but after reading your inspiring stories, it had deepened my faith and belief that GOD has every reason for everything that’s happening in our lives. It gave me enough reason to survive and live a beautiful life for my kids. I know it will take time to recover but I believe in time all wounds will heal.
Thanks again and more power!!
I was so hopeless this fast few days,. I was almost give up,. but when I read this message I was enlightened and felt so important when you make us realize that we are bigger than our problem.. Thank you very much Bro. Bo.. and God Bless you always..
