Words have power. Words created this universe... Everything started with the Word. The Bible says, 'In the beginning was the word.' In the same way, your words have creative power.

My parents were the traditional Filipino parents who didn't talk about money around the dinner table.

I believe that miracles happen every day. Every person is a miracle. Every moment is a miracle. If only we can open our eyes, we'll see God's love everywhere.

At first, the only thing that I learned was to save. Then I learned about mutual fund, then later on direct stock investments. I also went into small businesses and even real estate.

The blessing that I got from my parents, even if they didn't really teach me about money, was their simple lifestyle.

Our Feast gatherings, which has spread all over the world, is attended by young people - and they love to sing worship songs.

As much as I loved the model of St. Francis, I realized that I couldn't afford to be poor, because unlike St. Francis, I'm not celibate. I was enlightened that God's call to me was not poverty but generosity and simplicity. And I had to go back to the lesson I learned from my parents: that is, simplicity.

Faith Words aren't just mere positive affirmations; they open your life up to the supernatural power of God.

I came to know God when I was 12, started working in the ministry when I was 13, working in the slum area, living among the poor, loving it, and having this belief that to love the poor I needed to be poor.

I receive the flak via nasty blog posts, letters, usually coming from very religious people who cannot reconcile how I could share spiritual message and at the same time teach about money.

We want to reach out to the young people. We want the hearts of the young people to turn to God.

I have nothing against employment but it seems that our school system is too focused on training good employees but not good entrepreneurs. There should be a balance. We should learn from the entrepreneurial mindset of the Chinese.

I do research, I read books. I write down everything that I intend to say and this may take several hours. Then when I am out there preaching, I do not carry notes.

Every person is a miracle. Every moment is a miracle.

Grace happens every day.

Priests focus on the spiritual. As a lay person I could show people how to be good Catholics in the world.

We want to change lives.

I believe that miracles happen every day.

If only we can open our eyes, we'll see God's love everywhere.

I believe that when we sing, we worship twice. We express our thoughts into words, and our words into song.

Open yourself to extreme, excessive, extravagant grace.

Don't use your words to describe your reality. Use your words to create your desired reality.

We are tapping those people who are unchurched, people who feel they are not religious, those who are spiritual but are not at home with God, those who feel they are not worthy.

Let the good people teach people how to be rich.

Teach the kids. They need to learn how to handle, grow and multiply money. It's basic and should be taught at an early stage.
