What do frequency and spirit have to do with one another?
According to the most recent scientific studies of universal structure (i.e. quantum mechanics and string theory) everything that exists is vibrating energy. Light, sound, even material objects have come to be known as various forms of frequency.
God is Spirit. (Jn. 4:24) He spoke the worlds into existence. (Gen. 1:1; Jn. 1:1-3) In other words, Spirit brought forth what was created. According to Scripture, human beings are also spirit. (I Thess. 5:23) The Bible instructs us to worship God on a spiritual level. “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (Jn. 4:24)
The Spirit, however, is unseen. Jesus taught that it is like the wind. (Jn. 3:8) You can feel it and hear it, but you can’t see it. You know it’s there, you can see the effects of it, but where did it come from and where is it going?
It’s a lot like radio and television frequencies all around us that we don’t think about until we turn on the device that is receiving the signal. These frequencies are invisible to us (in our natural awareness) but they are undoubtedly, and verifiably, present nonetheless.
The Bible is full of stories of people who had an encounter with beings that instantly appeared, bringing a message to them from God. These beings, known as angels, apparently had the ability to make themselves visible in the physical realm, although they were present all the time. Many Biblical passages talk about angels being present, yet not seen. (Matt. 26:53; Ps. 91:11-12) Angels are also referred to as ‘spirits’.
Dogs can hear frequencies much higher than humans, and though the frequencies are unrecognizable to the human, they are yet present. Some animals can see colors that humans cannot. Just because we cannot see, hear, or perceive a certain frequency doesn’t mean that it’s not there.
Similarly, just because we cannot see the frequencies of spirit beings doesn’t mean that they aren’t there. People who live only by what they can see, hear, taste or touch (realists they call themselves) are missing out on a part of human life that is most exciting: the life of faith.
Faith is unseen, but the Bible calls it a substance. (Heb. 11:1) Medical science has proven that certain chemicals are released into our bodies upon the choices of our thoughts and feelings.
Can thoughts be ‘seen’? What about love, hope, vision…etc.? These are all evidences that there is more than just a physical realm. The life lived with an ‘eye’ for the spiritual is much more rewarding than one lived any other way. Everything in the natural emanates from the unseen spiritual world. That’s how it has been from the beginning.
“If then you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on the earth.” (Col. 3:1-2)
Perhaps frequency and spirit are subjects much more closely related than what we have considered. Scientists, in their continuation to probe the natural realm, have now begun to touch upon things that require a measure of believing the ‘unseen’.
Even spiritual principles from the Bible parallel frequency studies. Take for example the principle of agreement: “Two are better than one…and a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” (Eccl. 4:9-12) “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.” (Matt. 18:19-20) Agreement is the place of power.
In acoustics, when two manifestations of the same frequency, in phase with one another, come together, they double their amplitude. In other words, when two sounds are ‘in agreement’ they create an exponential power.
Conversely, there is the principle of division: “Can two walk together except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3) “Can a throne of destruction be allied with Thee, one which devises mischief by decree?” (Ps. 94:20) “If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.” (Mk. 3:25) Disagreement and division is the place of destruction.
In acoustics, again, when two similar frequencies come together, yet are out of phase with each other, they will cancel each other out. This scientific knowledge has been used in military applications, such as the Stealth Bomber. Sound system engineers are very careful to make sure all of the electrical signals to the speakers are ‘in phase’ so that ‘phase cancellation’ doesn’t happen in their system.
There are plentiful examples of spiritual and natural correlations to Spirit and Frequency.
A number of miracles that are recorded in the Bible may have something to do with this relationship. How did Jesus walk on water, through walls, and pass through the midst of a mob that was proceeding to throw Him off a cliff? How did Jesus, “with a loud voice” raise a man that had been dead for four days? I am convinced that the manifestation of an unusual use of frequency had something to do these supernatural occurrences.
Music and worship are manifestations of a use of Frequency that affects people internally. All of us have experienced the sensation of exhilaration or being deeply moved by music. The Bible even instructs people of faith to use music in their worship of God: “…be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord.” (Eph. 5:18-19)
Perhaps, in the beginning, God Himself even ‘sang’ the creation into existence.
In any event, the whole physical universe is still vibrating from His creative voice.
