A Business Philosophy By Victor & Diana Morales

That at us daily, what can we do to still be

able to succeed and overcome this
kind of fear?  How do we take fear

WINS!
In the legendary audio tape, “The Strang-
est Secret,” Success Expert, Earl Nightingale
(1921-1989) says, “You become what you
think about.”  If that is true, why doesn’t
everyone “think success”?  The answer
is a combination of 1) what we expose
ourselves to, and 2) how we condition our
minds.  We live in a world of negative mind
conditioning where the three big motiva-
tors are: fear, greed and vanity.  These three
together drive the American sales process,
which in turn determine how we spend
and live our lives.   career or position in life.  The Bible tells us
Our society preys on the fear factor—
motivating our every move based on fear
of something.  It is in 50% of the ads we
see.  Fear is bred in advertisements about
life insurance for death and disability, stolen
credit cards, anti-freeze for stalled cars, tires
that grip the road in the rain, brakes that
stop to avoid hitting a child on a bike, and
security systems so your home won’t be
robbed. Our society bases itself on fear
tactics; therefore, it is only natural to take
them with you into the workplace.   he will be or what he will become (Prov-
This fear eventually makes its way to be-
come a fear of failure.  With all this coming
and divert it to its direct opposite
which is faith? We must first stop
listening to and believing everything
we hear.  This will NOT come by
continuously doing the same things
over and over and expecting different
results.  We have to expose ourselves
to new information that we have never
exposed ourselves to in the past.  There are
countless libraries dedicated to helping you
with thousands of references, books, com-
puters, and inspirational materials.  There
is a free education awaiting you at your
fingertips.    You have to make a conscious
and planned effort to educate yourself with
information that is going to help you suc-
ceed. Exposing yourself to these informa-
tion highways will do wonders for your
in Proverbs 10:14, “Wise men lay up knowl-
edge”.  In other words, the more you know,
the more you grow!  
Whenever we’re afraid, it’s because we don’t
know enough. If we understood enough, we
would never be afraid.
-Earl Nightingale
Philosophy is defined as your attitude,
thinking, way of life and beliefs. The Bible
says that the way a man thinks is the way
erbs 23:7). Whatever you feed your mind
and think on will eventually manifest itself
in your life. The Bible also instructs us to

get wisdom and get understanding of that
wisdom (Proverbs 4:5). The steps you take
in educating yourself each day are steps
toward getting understanding.
Once you re-examine your philosophy and
it begins to take a different more positive
form, you will also begin to produce a bet-
ter lifestyle for you, your family and even
your business environment. Jim Rohn, a
famous American business philosopher
is quoted as saying, “Philosophy drives
attitude.  Attitude drives actions.  Actions
drive results.  Results drive lifestyles.”   If
you don’t like your lifestyle, look at your
results.  If you don’t like your results, look at
your actions.  If you don’t like your actions,
look at your attitude.   If you don’t like your
attitude, look at your PHILOSOPHY.  It all

comes back to how we think. Many people
make the fatal mistake of starting their phi-
losophy somewhere in the middle.  Some
begin with “action”.  If we have no philoso-
phy and we have a bad attitude, what kind
of actions are we going to take?
It starts the moment you wake up in the
morning. You can wake up to, “I dread
going to work today,” or you can wake
up to, “This is the day which the LORD hath
made; I will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm
118:24)—regardless of what the day may
hold. This way of thinking will change your
life, and your positive magnetic attitude will
inevitably bring you all kinds of favor. Rest
assured, whichever you choose will form
exactly the type of day, week or month you
will have. It all begins with how you think.
 Living
Successfully
in God’s
Economy
By Victor Morales
If you’ve paid attention to any form of
media these days, you hear the same thing
over and over: “the economy is on a down-
fall”, “ there is a recession”,” gas prices are out
of control”, “the cost of living has signifi-
cantly increased”,” jobs are getting scarce”,
“the stock market is plunging”, “the dollar
is losing its value”,” the housing market is
on a decline,” and the list goes on and on.
This type of media coverage breeds fear in
people, causing them to hold on to every-
thing they have, and hardly ever reports on
anything good that is actually happening.
When you are focused on negative or bad
news, it is almost impossible to see the
good. People are only going to believe
what they hear and see every day. Proverbs
23:7 says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is
he.” It is not God’s will for your life to focus
on the bad, but to focus on His Word
daily. His Word says, “Beloved, I wish above
all things that you may prosper and be in
health, even as your soul (mind, intellect,
seat of emotions filled with Gods Word)
prospers.” (3 John 1:2) The closer you get
to God during these times, the more as-
surance you will feel of his willingness to
bless your life, even if things don’t “appear”
favorable.
Everything in God’s kingdom is the direct
opposite of the world’s kingdom. The
world economy says, “Hold on to every-
thing for dear life”. Gods Word says, “Give
and it shall be given unto you.” (Luke 6:38)
The world says, “Take care of yourself”, or as
8 March/April 2009
a more popular saying would coin it, “Take
care of number one.” God’s Word says, “Do
unto others as you wish they would do
unto you.” (Matthew 7:12) The world says,
“Be the greatest you can be.” God’s Word
says, “The greatest of all is the servant of all.”
(Matthew 23:11) The world says, “Increase
in everything.” God’s Word says, “You must
decrease so that I may increase in your life.”
(John 3:30) The world says, “Live your best
life now.” God’s Word says, “Die to yourself.”
(John 12:24) You’ll see a great difference
when you live for God. When you live for
God, no recession, no economy, no bad
news is going to dictate your life. Only
your belief system in who you are in God
will dictate that. God is an ever-abundant
supplier of all of our needs. He, and only
“With God, there
is no lack, there is
no poverty and all
things are possible.”
He, is our primary source of supply--not the
world economy or any other fear tactic that
is used.
With God, there is no lack, there is no pov-
erty and all things are possible. Without
God, everything seems impossible. God’s
word says, “But my God shall supply all my
need according to His riches in glory by Christ
Jesus.” (Phillippians 4:19) It’s His riches and We are to live and work in this world, but

 Servanthood By Victor and Diana Morales

The Path to Great

Leadership
An argument started among the disciples
as to which of them would be the greatest.
Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little
child and had him stand beside him. Then he
said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little
child in my name welcomes me; and whoever
welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.
For he who is least among you all—he is the
greatest.” (Luke 9:46-48)

Whether they are employees, brothers and

sisters, a circle of friends, or teammates,
the age-old question seems to always pop
up: “Who is the greatest of us all?” It has
been the root cause of divorce, fall-outs in
families, and ruined friendships. Competi-
tion, rivalry and envy have been around for
a very long time. Do the names Cain and
Abel ring a bell? How about the Hatfield’s
and the McCoy’s? As children growing
up with siblings, one of the most popular
questions to parents has been, “Who do
you love more?” Unfortunately, we tend to
take this mindset into our “grown-up life”
“Any definition of a
successful life must include
serving others.”
– George H.W. Bush
at the workplace, within families or even in
church.
Most people have a deep-seated desire to
be noticed, recognized, and appreciated. If
this were not true, there would be no such
thing as “office gossip” or “the grapevine”—
someone always trying to bring someone
else down in the hopes of shining a bit
brighter. The Bible clearly instructs us that
if we are to be the greatest, we need to be
the least. Jesus also instructed the disciples
that they must wash one another’s feet
(John 13:14). This still holds true today. The
modern-day translation is simply: serve
one another. Servanthood has a modern
derogatory note to it, yet it is the key ele-
ment that is missing in most people’s lives.
Most people have the attitude of, “What’s
in it for me?” Servanthood is a state of the
heart. It says, “This is what’s in it for you!”
The greatest CEO knows how to serve his
employees and customers. The greatest
dad knows how to serve his wife and his
children with love and support. The great-
est spouse serves the other spouse. The
greatest friend is readily available to serve
his friend. Simply put, this is you being
the best at being last—or least. Everyone
strives for 1st place, but it is last place that
wins God’s greatest rewards.
Ephesians 6:5-8 says, “Servants, be obedient
to them that are your masters according to

 How to Pray for Your By Diana Morales

Children
Many parents ask us the same question,
“Can you please pray for my kids?” “I don’t
really know if I’m praying right or specifical-
ly for them.” The day our eyes connect with
our children’s or grandchildren’s eyes, our
entire world takes on a whole new mean-
ing. In a moment of time, their future and
well-being become the most important
things in our lives.

Like anything else in your life, when you

want it to function properly and last for
a long time, you must carefully read and
adhere to the manufacturer’s manual. Our
children were designed and sent to us
by God. God has a manual—the Word
of God, the Bible—written for all of us. If
something is broken or not working well,
read the manual and find out how to get
it fixed. If something is broken in the lives
of our children, we simply need to read the
manual, believe it and speak it over their
lives.

confess with your mouth that “Jesus is Lord” and you believe with your heart He rose
from the dead—you will be saved. (Romans 10:9-10) This is the only way to get to
heaven. If you want to experience this hope to live forever with God, pray this prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, come into my heart. Take away my stony heart, and give me a heart of flesh.
I repent of my sins and receive your free gift of salvation for my life. I turn my back on the
world’s way of living and turn my life over to you. Thank you, Jesus for coming into my heart

 The Power
of a Praying
Mother
By Sylvia Perez
Above: Sylvia and husband (left) and their daughter, Cynthia and son-in-law,
Prayer. I never knew how powerful it
was until I was put to the test to trust
God wholeheartedly with the lives of my
children. I am a praying mother, and I want
to share what Jesus Christ has done in my
family for the past two years.
My husband and I raised our two daughters
in a dignified and clean culture, where our
belief system was that as long as we were
“good” people, everything would be fine in
our lives. We never imagined the curve our
lives would soon take as time quickly went
by. Right before our eyes, our daughters
grew up. While we were busy with our
lives, our youngest daughter had become
addicted to drugs in High School. As
parents, this was to be the greatest pain we
could ever feel. Only God knew what we
were going through. At that time, a dear
friend and her husband began to minister
to me and my husband. It was through this
couple that we learned about Jesus and His
saving power.
I began my greatest challenge ever—
to press in and pray for my daughter
with complete faith in God. However,
in the midst of my prayer, my daughter
announced to us that she was getting
married to a young man who was also a
drug addict. Now I found myself not only
praying for my daughter, but for my brand
new son-in-law that needed to be set free
just like her. In desperation, my son-in-law’s
mother and I began praying continuously
for both of them. Here we were—two

mothers united in one faith believing God
for the lives of our children.
My husband and I desperately tried to help
our kids with Godly counsel from pastors,
family and friends—sharing God’s Word
with them. Each day was a day of tearing
down the bondage in which drugs had
them. Each day I pleaded the blood of Je-
sus over them. Each day I would proclaim
to them, “You are servants of the Most High
God! This is who you REALLY are!” They
could not understand my faith and would
answer me, “Don’t you see that we’re in
sin—what are you saying?” I never doubt-
ed the power of God to deliver and all His
faithful promises in His Word. You see, I
understand that we are to walk by faith in
God, and not by what our natural eyes see.
Faith calls it done even though we don’t
have natural proof of its manifestation.
Daily, I stood on the scripture, “But as for
me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
(Joshua 24:15) I talked to my kids with the
love of God, with patience and wisdom.
The Bible says, “Love never fails.” (1 Corin-
thians 13:8) We can scream and yell, but
only God’s way works. As I spoke to them
with the character of Christ, their hearts
began to be touched and they desired to
know more about Jesus Christ. Slowly, they
began to see the light of the Lord until their
lives were completely transformed. A pro-
fessional once advised me to check them
into a hospital to “detoxify” their bodies. I
sat both of them down and said to them, “It
will do you no good to detoxify your bod-
ies if your heart and mind have not been
‘detoxified’ by God first.” They agreed.
After two years, they now serve the Lord in
full-time ministry at Victory Life Fellowship
of Corpus Christi, where the Word of God is
preached to set free anyone who is captive.
I thank God for this great ministry and Pas-
tor Jose Luis Flores. My children went from
drug addiction to serving the Lord and
helping others as they, too, were helped.
Parents, please learn to separate the sin
from the person that is your child. You
must rebuke the sin, but love your child
with the love of God in Christ Jesus. I recall
a time when a counselor advised me to
send my child to a “boot camp”. I have

never believed in the world’s discipline,
but I do believe in the discipline of Jesus
Christ. To Him belongs all the glory and the
honor! We are now a grateful, joyful family
in Christ.
I wholly believe Jesus is the answer to any
situation that holds your children in bond-
age. Trust Him. I did!

 SOWING IN THE AREA OF
RELATIONSHIPS
People talk about their marriages, “My
marriage is not working. I wonder why....”
Shouting and screaming at each other
every day is not going to produce a good
marriage. Beating your husband or wife up
is not going to help you. People need to
be prepared to put 100 percent into their
marriage—not just fifty-fifty. A marriage
requires a commitment that gives every-
thing to it.
When you love Jesus, you commit 100 per-
cent to Him. He has control of every area of
your life, including your finances. If He’s not
the Lord of all, He is not Lord at all. He has
to be Lord of every area—your finances,
your home, your children, your husband,
wife and every decision you make.
It is the little things that we do in life that
produce the greatest harvest. In a marriage,
it is not so much the once-a-year big splash
on the town. It’s the small things you do ev-
ery day—the goodbye kiss when you leave
the house in the morning, the one flower
that you might bring her or a thoughtful
comment.
This principle is also applicable in the
relationship you have with your children.
It’s so important to plant in your children
a seed of love. They need to hear every
day how much you love them. I do that
with my kids all the time. When I have to
discipline them, I first tell them that I love
them. When they were babies, I used to
smother them with kisses. I always cuddled
them. Now that they are older, they come
running to me in the morning. They so
desire to love me. I tell my wife, “I’m reaping
for every one of those kisses I’ve sown.”
It’s the constant sowing of seed that
produces the harvest. The harvest doesn’t
come from the one-time gift that you
sowed. If you cast your bread upon the
waters at all times, it’s going to come back
to you on every wave (Eccl. 11:1). When
I was about six years old, we lived in a
20 March/April 2009

coastal town right on the bank of a river
which runs into the Indian Ocean. It was
a large river and the tides were very high
and would come up to the back wall of
the property. So you could just cast a line
in and fish. To get me out of the house,
my mother used to tell me, “Go out there
and wait until my ship comes in.” I would sit
there, hours going by, waiting for the ship
to come in. Well, one day the revelation
came to me. There was no ship coming
in because she hadn’t sent one out. I was
waiting for something she never sent.
If you don’t give anything, you are not
going to receive anything. The Bible says,
“And remember the words of the Lord Jesus,
that He said, It is more blessed to give than to
receive” (Acts 20:35). This is an attitude that
has to be burning deep down in your heart.
When you sow daily in every area of your
life, you maintain an attitude of expectancy.
You expect the blessings of God so you can
bless others on a daily basis. Let your prayer
be, “Lord, make me a blessing, allow me to
meet other people’s needs in every area.”
