The Source is With You…
For three weeks, Daniel had been praying. Twenty-one days of fasting. Twenty-one days without meat, wine, oil on his head and face, or lotions for his skin. Twenty-one days on his knees three times a day, pleading with the God he believed heard prayers. This was a man who desperately wanted circumstances to change — or at least an explanation of why they would not.
Today, another man kneels in prayer. Tyler is on his knees in a county jail.
Picked up six months ago, Tyler has appeared before a judge just once. A brief walk into court with his court-appointed attorney, only long enough to say, “Not guilty, your honor,” then back to his cell. And there he remains for nearly 18 hours a day. No contact with the outside world, except for brief three-to-four text messages each week. An explanation as to why his sits would be welcome, so he reads his Bible, prays, and hopes God will move on his behalf.
There is a connection between Tyler, Daniel, and you — and that connection runs deeper than we might imagine.
On day twenty-one, an angel sent from God appeared to Daniel. “From the first day you set your mind to understand and humbled yourself before God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.”
Quantum Mechanics
The moment Daniel’s knees hit the floor and his words went forth, God received. And this event is one of the most precise descriptions of how the reality of prayer works — and how prayer lines up almost exactly with quantum mechanics.
The laws of quantum mechanics reveal how electrons or photons exhibit characteristics of both waves and particles: how a quantum system can exist in multiple states or locations simultaneously until it is measured. When measured, a particle found in one location collapses from a range of possibilities into a single state. It is here, in what physicists call entanglement, that particles can be linked. And once joined, one particle instantly influences the other, regardless of distance.
Implicate and Explicate Order
Our prayer, our plea, our thoughts — united with God. His thoughts, shared with us.
David Bohm, one of the great theoretical physicists of the twentieth century, called the two physical realities the implicate order and the explicate order. The explicit order is everything you can see, touch, measure, or photograph. It exists in space and time. In this realm, objects move by effort. Light travels. Paul calls this the “natural world,” the realm of flesh and matter.
The implicit order is the source code behind the visible. At this level, particles simply are. And how they function only becomes clear when measured in relationship to another particle. Language works the same way. The Hebrew אִשָּׁה (ishah) means both “woman” and “wife” — its definition determined by its entanglement to an individual. The same is true for אִישׁ (ish), meaning both “man” and “husband.” The word itself doesn’t change. What changes is the relationship it’s measured in. Identity, it turns out, is a function of connection.
Quantum Entanglement
Quantum entanglement is one of the most rigorously tested phenomena in the history of experimental physics. When two particles become entangled, a change in one is immediately reflected in the other. The correlation is there before you can even ask how it got there.
John Bell proved this law mathematically in 1964. Alain Aspect proved it experimentally in 1982. By 2015, every loophole had been closed. And this physical law left Albert Einstein unsettled. He called it “spooky action at a distance” and spent years trying to disprove it. He could not. The universe, at its deepest level, is non-local. Things are connected in ways that have nothing to do with the distance between them.
Daniel’s prayer wasn’t a signal that traveled to God. It was a state change — a shift in the field between Daniel’s spirit and the Spirit that made him. And here is where faith enters.
Before you were formed in the womb, God knew you (Jeremiah 1:5). His breath in you gives life (Genesis 2:7). At death, that spirit returns to Him (Ecclesiastes 12:7). Which means all particles in your body are connected to God. Regardless of if we believe in God, we are never separated from Him. You were with Him before you were here. And in Him, you live and move and have your being right now (Acts 17:28).
This reframes prayer.
We are not reaching toward a distant Maker. Faith is not building a bridge across a gap. We are dialing into the Source we knew before we existed on earth. Quantum entanglement requires that two particles be together first before they can be connected across any distance. That condition is already met. It was met before your first breath. The work of faith is not contact. It is a realignment with the correct frequency for communication and restoration.
Both believers and those who have never opened a Bible use this law, even if they call it by different names.
A Law by any other name
Physicists call it coherence. Mothers call it intuition — how they know things about their children that defy explanation. Particles in her child’s body once resided within her. At some level, a mother’s body can always be in tune with her child’s. Twins share images, nudges, and impressions that no classical communication could account for. We receive a hunch that defies reasoning — one that proves accurate. In some place in our brain, a particle picks up a signal that is translated into language our mind interprets, and a decision or action occurs.
A child calling for its mother. A twin suffering from tightness in her chest transmits that pain to her sister, and in an instant, both know. God’s still small voice whispering to someone on their way to the World Trade Center on 9/11. Particles entangled.
In the spiritual dimension, faith is the coherence condition. It is the state of being internally ordered, aligned with the Source who is always sending, reaching, calling. God is always broadcasting, but do we receive?
Listen afresh to the words of Jesus:
“He who has ears, let him hear.”
He wasn’t asking a rhetorical question, but a mechanical one. Because if our ears are not tuned to the frequency of the Source, we miss what God is speaking. Luke 24 portrays two disciples walking toward Emmaus after the crucifixion. Jesus, unrecognized, joins them and asks, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” (Luke 24:17). Their animated dialogue reveals hearts wrestling with the apparent collapse of messianic hopes. This verbal back-and-forth sets the stage for one of the fullest post-resurrection expositions of Old Testament prophecy (Luke 24:27).
But look at their hearts. “We had hoped.”
Interfering Static
Past tense. No longer. Hope gone. The same state of heart as Mary Magdalene outside the tomb. In the case of all three, they heard the words of Jesus but did not recognize His voice until He initiated restoration. Lack of faith, hope, and belief creates static — or worse — shifts the frequency of our receptors.
James described what happens when that coherence breaks down, when there is so much static in the airwaves that we cannot retain the signal. “Like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind,” we hear two communications: one from God, one from the chaos around us.
Jesus connected this directly to His ability to work miracles — to bring heaven’s riches and restoration to earth. In His hometown, His neighbors and family didn’t simply withhold belief. They rejected the idea of who He was. Even when the Source stood before them, so close they could touch Him, they tuned Him out. The entanglement collapsed. The channel went dark — on their end, not from the Source.
Faith opens the channel.
Daniel — fasting, humbled, on his knees for twenty-one days — kept that line of connection open.
Quantum mechanics may explain how Jesus could lift His eyes, give thanks, and instantly realign the particles in a loaf of bread with the Source. Where there was lack, the Source replicated until lack became enough to feed five thousand. Quantum mechanics may also explain how Jesus turned water particles into wine, and how particles in the sick and afflicted were changed, multiplied, or shifted so that broken bodies were made whole.
God is not in space.
He is the source from which space emerges. God is eternal, immortal, invisible, spirit, without form or shape, who dwells in unapproachable light which no man can see. He is an everlasting power who, if we love one another, abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. God speaks from fire in a pillar of cloud. Since the creation of the world, His invisible qualities and divine nature are clearly seen. He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
God is the source of life and, in Christ, the light of man. And when we align to His will and frequency, we pick up what He’s speaking.
Man’s understanding of physics is just now catching up to Genesis chapter one. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word speaks and creates.
Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Instead, believe.
All Scripture is His Word.
Your Bible is Jesus in print.
Set your frequency on His Word and ask His Holy Spirit to speak through you on His frequency — and frequently,
He will. That’s His promise to us — and a cosmic law that stands forever.
