You’re Surrounded By An Ocean Of Miracles
I turned 44 this month.
I’ve noticed something: The older I get, the more I believe in miracles. In fact, I believe I’m surrounded by an ocean of miracles.
Everyday, I see God-Coincidences.
Divine Appointments.
Supernatural Connections.
Mysterious Surprises.
Spontaneous Healings.
More and more, I believe in the unexplainable, beautiful, mystical work of God in our lives. That no matter how impossible the situation, I believe that God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
Yes, I believe in magic.
I live in a magical universe!
I believe that in every moment, God is performing miracles.
In every moment, He is blessing you, healing you, touching you, and guiding you.
The 3 Stages Of My Spiritual Life
Let me tell you how I came to this belief.
Because it’s my birthday month, allow me to be autobiographical. Hope you don’t mind.
Let me talk about my 30+ year journey with God. (No, this won’t be 30 pages long! Perhaps 29… Just kidding.)
I believe I went through three distinct stages in my spiritual life:
· First Stage: Super Spiritual
· Second Stage: Highly Practical
· Third Stage: Peacefully Mystical
Which stage are you in?
Find out.
Let me describe each stage to you…
First Stage: Super Spiritual
(Age 12 to 28)
I got to know God at age 12.
Since that time, all the way until I was around 28 years old, I was super spiritual.
I had hyper-faith.
I wanted God to do everything for me.
If I did something, it meant that I didn’t trust God.
If I was hungry, all I had to do was open my mouth.
Because I expected God to plant a seed, water it, fertilize it, grow it, pick the fruit, slice it, fork it, and feed it to me. I even wanted God to chew the fruit and spit it in my mouth.
I shunned the world.
I didn’t like secular music, secular books, and secular movies.
I didn’t like insurance or saving money, or the stock market.
I believed that the purpose of life was to go to Heaven.
My faith was inhuman.
Bottomline, I didn’t like my humanness.
I believed my flesh was tainted with evil.
I was a spiritual being trapped in a human body, and my goal was to escape my earthly tent as much as I could.
Example?
How I Dressed Up
I wore the crummiest clothes.
Old sandals. Old jogging pants. Old shirt.
The more holes, the more faded, the better.
I felt that if I wore a clean shirt and nice shoes, it was vanity—a sin against the Almighty.
I didn’t comb my hair lest the Holy Spirit would be displeased.
Reason? To try to look handsome is about “self”. And self is bad. I’d be filled with pride and endanger my eternal soul.
I wanted to focus not on being presentable to men, but presentable to God.
Thus, I didn’t put on deodorant too.
I reasoned that if I smelled bad, there was a sacred purpose behind it.
Was it to save on bug repellant? Because of my unique odor, insects dropped dead within a two-meter radius around me.
Saints had what people called the odor of sanctity. Whenever they entered the room, people would smell the scent of fresh flowers. That made people fall on their knees and pray.
I too had that same effect. When I entered the room, people didn’t just only fall on their knees. They’d have a near-death experience and pray for their salvation.
My whole persona—how I dressed, looked, and smelled was my AAD. My Anti-Attraction Device. So girls won’t fall in love with me—lest I fall into lust. (Haha.)
This over-spiritual attitude spilled over to how I preached…
How I Gave My Talks
Whenever I preached, I didn’t want to prepare too much.
I wanted to be led by the Spirit.
I would preach in this way…
“Brothers and Sisters, good morning….” In the middle of my talk, I’d close my eyes, pause for a few seconds, while murmuring, “thank you Jesus, speak to me Jesus, thank you Jesus…”. Then I’d open my mouth and say, “Today, God told me to tell you that He loves you very much…” And then I’d close my eyes, and murmur my prayers again, “thank you Jesus, speak to me Jesus, shalalalala…”
This super spirituality spilled over my decision-making too…
How I Made Decisions
Every choice had to be prayed for.
Every decision!
What I should do on a particular day.
Who I should talk to.
What I should say.
What I should eat.
Where I was going.
What I would wear. (Crummy shirt #1 or Crummy shirt #2?)
No decision was too minor.
If I didn’t hear anything from God, I’d cut the Bible.
If you don’t know what “cutting the Bible” means, let me describe it to you.
One day, my friend was in an Eat-All-You-Can Buffet.
Being super spiritual like me, he prayed, “Lord, what do you want me to eat?”
He closed his eyes and opened the Bible.
He pointed his finger on a page, and read, “Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights.”
His face turned pale in terror.
He said, “Lord, this is a mistake. Do you really want me to fast?” With shaking hands, he cut the Bible again.
The verse he opened to?
“And Jesus said, ‘Go and do likewise.’”
Disturbed With My Super Spiritual Approach
Because I was super spiritual, I didn’t want to finish high school anymore. I felt schooling was useless because Jesus was coming again. Perhaps he would come next year. So why bother with Trigonometry and Chemistry? How can I use those in Heaven?
But my parents insisted I finish high school. And they also pushed me to go to college.
But after two years of college, I dropped out and became a fulltime missionary.
But as the years progressed, I began to grow uncomfortable with my extreme spirituality. Something was wrong.
As I grew older, I saw that being human wasn’t so bad after all. In fact, a quote from St. Irenaeus jolted me to the bone. He said, The glory of God is a human being fully alive.
Slowly, I began to move to the next stage of my spiritual life…
Stage Two: Highly Practical
(Age 29 to 43)
In my late twenties, I began to appreciate my humanness.
I realized God created me to be an incredible human being that can dream, plan, design, think, and act. Why did He give me all these fantastic abilities if He didn’t want me to use them?
If He wanted me to simply depend on Him and do nothing, He should have made me a stone or a plant or an amoeba.
But no. He gave me a phenomenal brain that was more powerful than all the computers of this world put together.
And ever so slowly, I morphed.
I began to be more down-to-earth.
More pragmatic.
More realistic.
More open…
How I Saw The World
I started reading secular books.
I got to know secular people.
I learned that atheists, agnostics, irreligious, and immoral people were children of God and they had much to teach me.
Stage 2 gave me a very precious gift: It took away my self-righteousness and spiritual arrogance.
I began to love people genuinely.
I got to know the secular world that I thought was totally condemned by God. (It wasn’t. I saw God’s fingerprints all over.)
It was a terrifying yet liberating experience.
I realized my spiritual world was very small. Puny!
And my version of God was tiny too.
I realized He was bigger than my narrow definitions.
How I Saw Romance
When I was 30, I decided to get married.
That helped a lot in moving me fully into Stage 2.
Stage 1 kept me in limbo—Celibacy or marriage?
I couldn’t decide.
For years, I was trying to find God’s Will and was terribly confused.
But in Stage 2, I realized that His Will was my deepest desires. That through the scalpel of discernment, I can strip the layers of shallow desires until I touched base with the core desires that God has placed in my heart.
And in Stage 2, I finally chose my lovely wife—after so much dilly-dallying in Stage 1.
That was when I wrote my controversial book, How To Find Your One True Love.
I wrote it for single people who were super spiritual, waiting for their future husband (or wife) to fall out of the sky on a silver platter.
In that book, I taught mature singles how to pray, yes. But I also taught them how to write a checklist of what they want in a spouse, how to change their daily itinerary to meet more singles, and how to have more friendly dates.
That book was a huge bestseller because for the first time, a spiritual book gave singles permission to do something in finding a spouse aside from just praying and waiting.
How I Saw Money
In Stage 1, I remained poor.
I watched this same phenomenon among super spiritual people. Though close to God, they were far from God’s material blessings because they believed poverty came with the territory.
They’re in debt. They don’t have savings. They live hand to mouth. Because they depend on God totally. They don’t like talking about money. They don’t want to learn how money works.
I was so frustrated not having money when I had all these great projects that I wanted to do for God.
So at the age of 32, I became an entrepreneur.
I became an investor.
Today, God has prospered the work of my hands.
A few years later, I wrote my book, 8 Secrets Of The Truly Rich. It rocked the world of many spiritual people. For the first time, a spiritual book gave them the permission to become wealthy in the right way.
How I Saw Dreams
In Stage 1, I didn’t allow myself to have dreams.
I considered that selfishness.
But in Stage 2, I wrote my dreams, read them daily, and saw them being fulfilled one by one. I was mesmerized by the power that God gave us to make our dreams come true.
So I taught people to dream and pursue their dreams.
I taught them that their actions shaped their future.
I told them, “God has placed your destiny in your hands!”
It was an exhilarating experience.
But deep within, something was brewing in my soul.
Disturbed With My Highly Practical Approach
The past year, I saw a certain movement in my spirit.
It was a gentle call from God to a deeper kind of trust.
I saw myself walking to a new stage in my spiritual life.
Stage 3: Peacefully Mystical
(Age 44 To Eternity)
Today, I’m a mystic. Again.
I’m back believing in miracles.
Obviously, I never lost faith in miracles.
But in a more profound way, I’m realizing that everything that I do is dependent on miracles.
Yes, I’m returning to an enlightened version of Stage 1.
But it’s really Stage 3: Peacefully Mystical.
It’s my second naïveté.
How did this happen?
I really have no choice: It’s the only way to keep my sanity.
As overall leader of Light of Jesus and our other ministries, I’m faced with gigantic problems every single day.
I do all I can. With the best of my abilities. But the problems are still there.
So I reach this point where only God can solve the problems.
I have only two options: To be stressed or to be blessed.
Stress and trust cannot co-exist.
If I’m stressed, then it means I don’t trust.
If I trust, then I won’t be stressed.
So I decide to trust.
And I like a child, I tell Him, “I’ve reached a point of incompetence. Lord, this is your problem. Give me a miracle.”
And He gives me a miracle! He actually comes in and performs a beautiful miracle right before my eyes.
Why I’m Relaxed
My wife says I’m always cool.
No matter what happens.
Let me tell you why.
I believe that I live in a friendly universe.
I live in a gracious galaxy.
I live in a universe that is conspiring to bless me.
Every atom of God’s creation is strategizing how to prosper me, solve my problems, open new doors of opportunity, give me divine connections, supernatural appointments, send miracles on my path, heal me, make me stronger, increase my peace, increase my money, tighten my relationships with my family, give me more wisdom….
And problems?
I believe that when a problem comes, it brings within it a beautiful solution. When a trial comes, it brings within it a treasure waiting to be unearthed.
I just need to be open to it—and the miracle will come.
Let me tell you how magical my life is…
Someone Stole Our Vault
Last Sunday night, our ministry office was burglarized.
It was no ordinary robbery: The thieves carried out our entire vault.
I say “thieves”—plural—because I know the weight of that vault. Two or three guys are needed to carry that thing.
But here’s the miracle.
Every Sunday, after the Feast (our large prayer gathering), our staff would count the offering, bring it back to the office, and put it in the vault. So that they could bring it to the bank the next day.
But last Sunday, for some magical reason, our chief accountant decided not to put the money in the vault. She placed the money beside the vault.
So here’s what happened. The robbers got the vault. But left behind the big money beside the vault!
How can you explain that?
Only one reason.
We live in a magical universe.
I’m surrounded by an ocean of miracles.
Yes, there was a little money in the vault—and we lost that.
But we’ll be wiser now.
But I’ve now learned that sometimes, God allows small problems to protect us from bigger problems. He allows us to lose a small amount, so that in the future, we won’t lose a bigger amount.
Even In Your Biggest Problems,
God Is Performing Miracles
A few years ago, my friend was fooled by her business partner. This partner ran away with their products—and my friend was left holding the empty bag.
Result? My friend was now P20 million in debt.
Everyday, she cried out to God.
Everyday, she was filled with so much stress.
She couldn’t eat.
She couldn’t sleep.
Her heart was filled with worry, fear, sadness, and anger.
Her soul was filled with questions.
Why God? Why did you allow this to happen?
But she kept her faith.
She kept attending the Feast (our weekly gathering), believing that God will rescue her from her trials.
Today, five years later, my friend has paid all her debts.
Her business is better than ever before.
And her trust in God is so deep!
She never brought her ex-business partner to court. She didn’t want to waste her time or money in bringing her to justice. She decided to focus on rebuilding her business.
In fact, the P20 million debt turned out to be a blessing.
Why? That huge debt hanging on her head forced her to become a better entrepreneur and make more money than ever before. Today, her business is bigger, stronger, and more prosperous! Something that may not have happened without the tragedy she went through.
What happened to her ex-business partner?
She found out that she’s now in jail—because of another crime that she committed.
What did my friend do?
She visited her in jail and forgave her.
Why? Because her God is a big God.
Bigger than a P20 million debt.
Bigger than her anger towards her business partner.
Here’s what I learned in life: God’s size is flexible.
Some worship a big God.
Some worship a small God.
It depends on your faith.
Do you want to know the size of your God?
Look at the size of your fears.
If your fears are big, then it means your God is small.
But if your fears are small, then it means your God is big.
Today, my fears are getting smaller and smaller, because my God is getting bigger and bigger.
Even In Your Biggest Problems,
God Is Performing Miracles
Another friend had a problem with her eldest son.
She came up to me one day and said, “Oh Bo, please help me. My son likes to drink and smoke. He’s not doing too well in school. He’s a rebellious kid and hates authority…”
She would call me up, crying on the phone.
And we’d pray together.
The months turned to years, and she’d tell me that her son is still the same—rebellious and addicted to vices. For six years, it was as though nothing was happening.
But one day, a miracle happened. Her son was invited to a youth ministry—and a spiritual conversion took place.
Today, her son is now leading that youth ministry. He’s preaching, bringing a lot of young people to God.
I can imagine what was happening during those six years of waiting, whenever she prayed to God with a lot of tears. I bet God was saying to her, “This storm will end. Your miracle will come. What you wish for will be granted.”
You’re Surrounded By An Ocean Of Miracles
Perhaps right now, you too have experienced a loss.
Perhaps you’re going through a heavy trial right now.
And it seems like it’s an impossible situation.
But in God’s vocabulary, there’s no such word as impossible.
In God’s dictionary, the word “impossible” isn’t found.
I have a simple message for you: Trust Him.
God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
You’re surrounded by an ocean of miracles.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

Hi Bo! My Dad and Mama are having problems right now. My Dad seems like does ‘nt care about my mama and constantly giving her pain by womanizing he even let my mother runs the business on her own and demands some money to her I feel helpless since I m away and working abroad while my sister gives up on my dad. I decided to go home early for my mom but it also will affect my finances being as father myself I need to support my wife and kids. Sometimes I feel I lose hope but this inspiration you wrote made me believe God is more bigger than our Problems. as of now I let God make his miracles on my Father and ask God to give strength to my mama.I will still Go home early and situations like this for sure God will provide maybe its a key for me to stop working abroad and expand a business back home and enjoy a wonderful life with my family.
Please Pray for my Dad and Mom my sister already ask for prayer support and council to your ministry. Thank you Bo! God Bless!!!
thanks bo for this article..it made me trust God even more… Please help me pray for the speedy recovery of one special person in my life who just underwent a major operation…

God Bless you always..continue to be a blessing to others..
my fear is small, but i can see that the size of my GOD is also small, maybe i am the one who allows not for HIM to grow in my life. it seems that i am in the first stage of my spiritual life, and i am on my late 40’s! GOD, please make me move on to the stages of spiritual life. i believe that YOU are my GOD, help me pass these stages bringing glory to YOUR NAME, AMEN!
Bro Bo,
Last week,Friday, I got invited to be one of the speakers of a Congress of my previous school. It was my first time, but was definitely a proud and happy moment because I really love public speaking.
I’d like to thank you because, I’ve applied what I observed from you whenever you preach. In fact, I told them dozens of stories based on my experience as a student leader, plus some stories I read from your blogs. They were all ears.
Now, I definitely realized that all problems I went through were part of God’s great plan for me. If I never faced those problems as a leader, I wouldn’t have anything to say.
Wish I can preach just like you one day.
Cheers!
Dear Bro,
You are truly a God’s gift to us, who are suffering and sometimes missed the most important thing to do which is obviously to TRUST AND CALL THE LORD!
Bro, I seem to lose the love of my sister and mother for reason I cannot explain here. They are doing well in the US. I am the only family they got here in the Philippines. Lately, I lost my job and luckily I found another job even at the age of 49 yrs old. I really thanked GOD for it but I will be assigned in Luzon while my family is in Cebu. I missed my family so much … everyday I call on HIM and He was always there.
I asked of you Bro to please pray to HIM that HE would touch the heart and mind of my sister and mother. Me and my family love and miss them so much yet they don’t answer my calls anymore.
Also Bro, please pray for me that I would be strong and be able to carry this burden and make my job as happy, worry free and rewarding for me and my new company.
Bro, daghan kaayong salamat sa tanan. You just don’t know unsa ang imong nahimo kanako everytime mabasa nako imong mga mensahe.
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS! I LOVE YOU BRO!

I asked of you Bro to please pray to HIM that HE would touch the heart and mind of my sister and mother. Me and my family love and miss them so much yet they don’t answer my calls anymore. They have seemed to abandon me. What I need from them is their moral support, to know that we are well loved by them is something money cannot buy. But to feel that you are losing your loved ones is something that gives you burden.
I thank GOD for my wife and family for keeping me in one piece, for thier love aqnd support … for without my wife and family I don’t think I would be able to bear this storms in my life.
Also Bro, please pray for me that I would be strong and be able to carry this burden and make my new job as happy, worry free and rewarding for me and my new company.
Bro, daghan kaayong salamat sa tanan. You just don’t know unsa ang imong nahimo kanako everytime mabasa nako imong mga mensahe. The LORD through you have made me live everyday of my life.
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS! I LOVE YOU BRO!

napaiyak ako po ako sa blog nyo, hindi ko alam kung bakit, feeling ko kasi kinakausap nyo ako habang binabasa ko ung blog… you Bo is my miracle, Godbless you more.
Dear Bro. Bo,
Thanks for your article. You’re a God-given instrument to me to lighten up my load. I’m always inspired after reading your article.
Keep up the good work, Bro Bo. You’re an inspiration to all of us.
God bless you and your staff.
Best regards,
Mabel
This is beautiful, Bo. I’m undergoing such a tough time right now. I guess I could relate to your super spiritual stage
It’s not easy to balance it with the practical stage, but I guess that’s what God wants me to do, but still holding on in faith to a God who is bigger than all my concerns. Be blessed!
Thank you for validating my faith once again Bo.
I often see myself as the laidback kind, just waiting for life to flow by me. I never want to force things because once too often, when I want things done my way, it will always do the opposite. So, what do I do? I do what Christians are supposed to do - live the Christian teachings. Because when you invite the positive things into your life - and I believe that it is God working in the universe through you - that things just fall into place. Problems will always be present but it will just fall in its right place like pieces of a puzzle.
Why worry? We have a God that takes care of us even when we least deserve it. And knows when we need it most.
I love to hear this quote.
It opens up my mind and heart to really be a human being.
To act as human should be, to think is to human.
“I realized God created me to be an incredible human being that can dream, plan, design, think, and act.”
“He gave me a phenomenal brain that was more powerful than all the computers of this world put together.”
Thanks Bro. Bo for touching my life.
i love these lines: “I believe that when a problem comes, it brings within it a beautiful solution. When a trial comes, it brings within it a treasure waiting to be unearthed.”
God doesn’t give us problems we cannot solve. all problems and trials help us grow as a person and become matured individuals physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Thanks Bro. Bo Napakasarap basahin at tunay nga pong napakabuti ng Panginoon sa atin……… Hiramin ko po yung ibang word and share to my frends….. God bless…. Poh…
BASTA PO,,, SALAMAT NG MARAMI!!!!
Dear Bo,
I’m always inspired by the experiences you always share with us.
Like anyone else, I am currently beset by problems - and I choose not to be stressed but blessed.
Please help me pray for my son who has gone astray. I trust and believe in God’s miracles that one day he’ll be back.
God bless & many thanks
Totoo po, Bro. Bo.
Naranasan ko na rin po yung may ipinagdarasal ako na parang ang tagal tagal matupad pero nagtiwala pa rin po ako sa Kanya.. gabi-gabi po hindi ako nagsasawang ulit-ulitin sa kanya yung dasal na yun.. at nagulat na lang po ako nung naramdaman ko na unti-unti na pong natutupad ang dinasal ko..
What I am dreaming is very impossible. I want to end up with a married man and I am very much married (for ten years) myself. Not that I am confused, I am 100% sure, I love this man more than my husband who has been committing violence (verbal {and capable of physical} against women (me) and (our) children.
But the guy I love is also moralistic like me, he gets guilty forming a relationship with me, despite him alienated with his “unfaithful wife”; the more I fall in love with his values and convictions. I am so stressed every day, I want him so bad but ours is a forbidden love. How will I know if what I am dreaming is also God’s dream eventually for us? Will this also apply the paradigm, “God will find a way where there seems to be no way” ? Should I count on this? Or just live a miserable life without my true love? And accept the fact that we belong to our respective unlovable spouses?
Thank you bro. Bo. GOD has inspired you so much to write this articles to send the divine message to those who almost lost their faith. You are truly heaven sent to us, an eye opener to those who experience spiritual dryness.
Thank you for sharing this! It means a lot to me, by your sharing i know God works in mysterious way even though i am facing a financial problem in my life. I know this too will pass. God will guide and bless me.
Bro. Bo,
GOD WILL MAKE A WAY WHERE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY…a phrase on the song to remember especailly during the times of trials.God is always reminding us to always trust his will..thank you for this blog bro.bo coz it reminds us to continue to hold on,,
THank you very much..im looking forward to reading more blog like this..hope i can meet you..
Your messages are God’s miracles to me…you are such a blessing…I thank God for you.
Yes Bro. Bo. Totoo, when a problem comes, it brings within it a beautiful solution. It happened to me 8 years ago. Not just a problem … a big problem … My husband was diagnosed of nasopharyngeal cancer. After hearing it from the doctor, I cried and cried. But after some time I braced myself and turned to God (as I would usually do). And then he showed me that if I would only trust Him, that is completely trusting Him, miracles will happen. That time we don’t have money to spend for chemo and radiation. And true enough, miracle happened. God provided means financially and spiritually. And most of all he survived that ordeal.
And true enough God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
To GOD Be the Glory!
Hi Bro. Bo,
My very belated happy birthday to you, you are a great preacher made from heaven, I love this Article of yours, i am so touched and inspired to put my complete trust to God, thanks for sharing his great love unto us. May you continue to be a great channel of his divine love bro. Bo. God bless to you and to your whole family, specially to your Mom, your wife, Benedict n Francis. In Jesus Mighty Name.Amen.
Dear Bro. Bo,
I believe that our life, though temporary, should always be put to good use, to the betterment of not only our soul, but of others. The others would include each individual we meet each day, including those we live with. Right now at age 35, I am at peace, but ‘busy’. Busy with what God wants me to do. I have a long story to tell and share. I just dont know if people would believe or to whom I could tell my story. You are blessed brother Bo to see and experience God. Your stories are very inspiring and many here needed to hear from you. Everyday of my life, I try my best not to sin, but it’s hard. Shouting at your makulit son is not that pleasing to God. Maybe I was in ur stage1. But as I heal here at home, nurturing my family after retiring from 12yrs career in IT, I found answers to my fears and the complexities of life that annoys me. As I ‘cut’ the Bible, I found Guidance from the Lord. I’ve learned how much He loves each and evry one of us. On my humble abode while praying for my son’s complete recovery from ‘Brain Tumor’, I found that He is very Powerful. We are just too weak to receive ALL He could give us. Our Faith should always be BIGGER because OUR GOD IS MIGHTY. We should not ask him ‘WHY’, but rather we should try to SEEK why things have happened. I pray that in my own way, the readers of your article would realize that God’s Power is immense. and we should only humble ourselves before HIM so we would receive HIS MERCY and LOVE.
Sir Bo,
Thank you very much for this article.You know I was also fooled by a couple with my big savings of 1.356m.That money i worked hard and saved as an ofw for my old age.It’s been more than 1 year now and they haven’t paid me.I was crying so hard and felt bitter but my friends prayed hard for me and giving me words of wisdom.With the help of my parents i was able to sustain financially but i still feel bad about it.I do hope and pray that one day they will pay me back the money they owed me.
I believe also Bo that God has a plan and that He will make a way.I am really inspired by your article God will really make a way when there seems to be no way.when i confided this to a priest in confession , he told me that although its hard to accept,my money is not my gateway to salvation.Now,I can freely sing with tears in my eyes LORD I OFFER MY LIFE TO YOU EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN THROUGH USE IT FOR YOUR GLORY! I am jobless being in my late 40’s its hard to apply a job here in Philippines having spent my life as an OFW for more than a decade.
Again thank you very much. God bless you more!
hi bro bo,
thank you for your generosity in sharing your wisdom to everybody. you’re truly god sent. ….
Thanks Bro. Bo, Kahit gaano kahaba ang blogs mo hindi ako magsasawang basahin ito. God Bless us all

the biggest and most amazing work of God in us.
all of us here are very grateful and thankful for always having
the time to spread the all - powerful and blessed vibes.
our prayers are also with you and your family
Lord, I need not fear because You are near. hallelujah!
THANK YOU SO MUCH bro BO. this is a wonderful passage.
being a cancer survivor.. i’ve been through physical . emotional, financial and spiritual stress. but our GOD is a MERCIFUL and a LOVING GOD. HE healed me in all areas of my life. . TODAY, i rejoice and sing praise to HIM. HE blessed me with a JOYFUL HEART.
thanks for the very inspiring article. it serves as an inspiration for me.
Ask lang po why wala na akong natatanggap na god whispers.
thank you so much brother Bo.
I agree with what you have said brother Bo that this universe is great..
I also remember my Psych teacher tell me that you just have to concentrate on what you want.. and then, the universe will rearrange itself to meet your needs.
^^;
thanks alot Bro. Bo.
God Bless us all..
praise God!
after i read this… i really said to myself “wow”.. suprised because i was so busy with the adjustments and with my problems here abroad i almost forgot how GOd really loves us by the miracles he send and the love he showers everyday! thanks Bo! i’ve come to a point rather solving the problems all by myself and making it worst instead you surrender it to God and notice everything falls into place and there’s peace after… im really inspired.. thanks so much!
thanks bro. bo for another inspiring blog..GODBLESS! ^_^
hear2x bo!
thank you..
one thing ive learned from you was to stay relax whatever happened. ur d best bro.BO… now i know nothing is impossible w/ him!!!
i failed the preboard exam just today and the thought of not taking the actual board haunted me. i was so down and even asking why do i have to experienced this. but reading this article opened my heart to simply TRUST HIM. and everything will be fine again. and i should have to do my part by giving my best to hurdle the problem that i thought was a problem. thanks to you sir bo. through you i am deeply lightened to stand up again. after all He is at my Side no matter what..
True, Trusting in our Lord’s love for us by simplifying our lives, setting priorities by putting God first in all that we do, would make our lives stress free ! Our Lord Himself teaches us how to live and what to ask for , both physical and spirirtual in the Prayer, ” Our Father . ” This prayer teaches us what is essential , what leads us to the Everlasting Joy with our loving Lord in His Kingdom !
BE HAPPY EVERYONE !!!
Thanks Bro. Bo and family !
Salamat Kuya Bo !
praise God…Happy birthday bro.Bo!!!
dear bo,
ev eryday i’m swimming in the ocean of miracles because of you. thanks for your inspiring messages.
happy birthday!!!
Your message/articles, everytime i read it feels like you’re talking to ME. Just to let you know Bro. Bo, you are God’s messenger this modern world/generation. This time , it’s a bulls eye, again and again, on and on …… i once like u, feel and think like a “saint” but failed to acknowledge i’m a “sinner” until you came along my life God redirect my thinking. YES! we have an AWESOME GOD!!!!!!Can’t wait to hear from you more Bro. Bo. GOD Bless u and ur works & ur family!
alleluia praise the lord ialways thank god that he gives us to you u touches every people in this world and i learn so much from u thank very much bro. bo. god blss u
the part of the blog where Bo’s friend was owing people 20M and she was not doing anything about it came to my mind. What happened to:
” I realized God created me to be an incredible human being that can dream, plan, design, think, and act. Why did He give me all these fantastic abilities if He didn’t want me to use them?
If He wanted me to simply depend on Him and do nothing, He should have made me a stone or a plant or an amoeba.
But no. He gave me a phenomenal brain that was more powerful than all the computers of this world put together.”?
Isn’t she being too passive by not taking action? Being “Super Spiritual”?
Should I be like her in dealing with my philandering husband?
What is our guiding point on when to act and when to just let God take control?
This is a common reaction of most Filipino. Inaction. “Bahala na ang Diyos.” “Ma Karma lang yan sya.” Aren’t we being SUPER SPIRITUAL by taking all our problems to God and wait for Him to make things fall into place?
Let me know your views…
Good day kuya Bo,

Hello Bo,
Thank you Bo for this inspiring message. It’s just to timely, that I understood the importance of our humaness. That true faith is indeed deeper than I thought.
Hi Kuya Bo,
Thank you very much. I love this article. God Bless you.
Your fan,
Riza
thanks for this bo,, i kinda needed a lift and this one delivered..God Bless!!
Hi Kuya Bo!
Maraming salamat po sa napaka-motivating na article… I am going through a difficult situation and sobrang sama ng loob ko… While reading the last part of the article about trusting God, I cried… Siguro nga, kahit matagal na akong nagseserve sa simbahan, hindi parin ganun kalaki ang tiwala ko sa Diyos… Thanks Kuya Bo for pointing that one out… You opened not only my mind but my heart… Thanks.
To Karen,
Hi ! Everything that happens in this world is God’s Will — EXCEPT SIN. God gave us the free will to choose between right or wrong by giving us The Ten Commandments. Otherwise , if we were not given the free will, we will all be rebelious. Peace is disrupted when men do wrong. Mother Teresa said when asked ” How can a man have peace in himself ? ” She said, ” Do not do or say the bad or the wrong thing. ”
Trust and have Faith in our Lord that better days lies ahead of you!
God bless you !
Thanks Bro. Bo and family.
BE HAPPY ALL !!!
Bro Bo,
You made me laugh,you made me cry! It’s great!
And yes! God will make a way,where there seems to be no way. To God be be glory…
Thanks Bro Bo, God bless you and advance happy birthday
amen
As always, your entries made me teary-eyed. Thank you God for a man like Bo Sanchez!
i just posted the very inspiring line from this article to my face book and I was very surprised knowing that I also bless another person through you.. she was inspired and said that now, she already saw her Big God.. (by the way, she is undergoing her chemotherapy. But now, she’s facing it with a deep trust..thank you so much…
Everyday, i always remind myself of this passage….God will make a way where there seems to be no way. After a while, i felt relieved and cool as ever.
Bro Bo,
You never cease to amaze me… Your preachings are very “timing” as always. Truly God made you His instrument to touch mine and other’s lives. May God bless you always with good health, long life and abundance… Thank you very much…
thank you Bro. Bo again it is very timely. God is good!!!!
thank you bro. bo.
in spite of all the trials i currently undergo (losing my job, having no money, communication gap with my girlfriend), thank you for continually inspiring me to trust in God and serve Him all the more, relying on the promise that after every storm, a rainbow will come.
amen. God bless you and your ministry more.
billy
to Elusivestar: Thanks for the reply. Will keep the faith!
bro Bo,
I never miss reading all your articles Bo. This is another great and inspiring one that needs to ponder. Sometimes human as we are, we lose our faith in God easily. This is a good reminder for everyone that God is always there waiting for us. God is good all the time…
More power Bo..
Thank you!
Thank you Bro. Bo. This message is exactly what I need since our thesis proposal is not yet approved. I’ll trust God and do my best.
Oh wow. The timing of this blog is uncanny. Thank you. It’s what I needed.
Bro Bo, you’re turly a blessing..you’re one of God’s instruments that made me see and feel his presence and his unconditional, unmeasurable love for me. God bless you, all the time! God indeed makes a way when there seems to be no way!
Thanks . . .
you are such a blessing! your words are very uplifting. thank you.
Thank you very much Brother Bo..
