Prayer and Quantum Non-Locality
There is an intangible aspect to prayer that transcends distance, location, space, and time. Though intangible, it still has an affect. Prayer is not just words spoken into the air, prayer is a declaration of God’s will has a physical effect independent from space or distance. Prayer is not magical, but it is powerful. Join us today as we discuss the phenomenon of non-locality in physics and how that sheds light on the power of prayer.
“God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.”
There is an intangible aspect to prayer that transcends distance, location, space, and time. Though intangible, it still has an affect. Prayer is not just words spoken into the air, prayer is a declaration of God’s will has a physical effect independent from space or distance. Prayer is not magical, but it is powerful. Join us today as we discuss the phenomenon of non-locality in physics and how that sheds light on the power of prayer.
In the realm of quantum physics, there’s a fascinating concept known as non-locality, where particles, once entangled, remain connected regardless of the distance between them. This connection is instantaneous and transcends the physical constraints of time and space. Interestingly, this principle provides us with a powerful analogy for understanding the spiritual dynamics of prayer.
Prayer, much like quantum non-locality, transcends physical barriers. It’s not confined by the limitations of time, space, or distance. When we pray, we’re engaging with an intangible yet potent force that connects us to God’s will and power. Prayer is far more than just words spoken into the air; it’s a declaration that resonates in the spiritual realm, creating effects in the physical world, independent of where or when the prayer is made.
Consider the centurion in the Gospels who asked Jesus to heal his servant. Jesus didn’t need to be physically present to perform the miracle; He spoke the word, and the servant was healed. This story exemplifies the principle of non-locality in prayer. Just as quantum entanglement allows particles to affect one another regardless of distance, our prayers, spoken in faith, can have real, tangible impacts no matter where we are.
Prayer, therefore, should not be viewed as a magical formula or an attempt to manipulate physical reality. Instead, it’s an interaction with the higher dimension of Heaven, where we operate out of our authority in God’s kingdom. Through prayer, we align our desires with God's will, tapping into His creative power that governs the universe. This alignment brings about outcomes that are not just miraculous but are in harmony with the laws of God’s kingdom.
In essence, prayer is a powerful tool that allows us to engage with the spiritual laws of God’s kingdom, which operate beyond the limitations of our three-dimensional world. By understanding the principles of quantum entanglement and non-locality, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the effectiveness and reach of our prayers. We’re not merely asking for things; we’re participating in the co-creation of God’s will on Earth, reflecting the unity and connection that underpins both the physical and spiritual realms.
So, when you pray, do so with the confidence that your words, rooted in faith, resonate far beyond the immediate and the visible. They reach into the very heart of God’s kingdom, activating His power and bringing His will to pass in your life and the lives of those you pray for.
How Should You Pray Under the New Covenant?
I have this discussion alot, centered around this question, "how do I pray under the New Covenant." We must remember that in Christ we are complete, he has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness and all his promises are yes and amen. We are not asking God to give us something we don't already have in Christ. Prayer should be from the perspective to have our hearts and eyes enlightened to see and experience what is already ours in Christ.
How should I pray for myself if I am already complete in Christ?
The simple answer is this, your spirit is perfect and whole, but your body and soul need to experience the ongoing promises of God. Your salvation is secure, but the rest of your being needs renewal as you are continually conformed to the image of Christ. You experience that renewal the same way you were born again, by grace through faith. Everything the rest of your being needs to experience is also a gift from God. You can't earn it, suffer for it, or be good enough. You can only renew your mind and persuade your heart of the present reality that you are in Christ. As your mind and heart align with who God is in you and who you are in Him, it will shape your thoughts, desires, and choices, and your spiritual state will affect the rest of your being.
So you should still pray, but pray in such a way that you affirm your already completed spiritual identity. Remember that He has given you all things that pertain to life and godliness, and all his promises are yes and amen. We are not asking God to give us something we don't already have in Christ. Prayer should shift our hearts and eyes to see and experience what is already ours in Christ.
How should I pray for others?
When praying for others, you pray the same for them, that they would see who they are in Christ and what they have in Christ. One of the most effective things you can do in praying for someone else is to pray with your spirit for that person.
Concerning the enemy, if someone is oppressed, hindered, or believing a lie, pray in such a way that you reinforce their connection with God so that they would stand in their authority and display the strength and faith of Christ in them. The believer with a limiting belief or some kind of deception must resist the enemy by standing in the truth of their already accomplished victory in Christ. Still, even more so, they need to strengthen their hearts in what Christ has already accomplished.
The goal is not to chase away a demon; it is to strengthen the believer's heart/faith, so they don't allow the enemy's tactics to cause them to stumble.
Devils and demons aren't causing your hindrances, they're attracted to your hindrances. Those limitations and hindrances are in your heart, in your beliefs. Once you align those with God's word, the enemy has nothing else to reinforce in your life.
The most significant breakthroughs don't come from rebuking and binding spirits off your life. Instead, the most essential breakthroughs come when you know your power in Christ and are no longer susceptible to the lies or tactics of the enemy.
Truly, He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. And when you stand in the power/authority of the one who is in you, the enemy has nothing in you to exploit. The church needs to wake up to the reality of the New Covenant, in which the enemy is already defeated and stripped of authority.
If you have no weaknesses in any given area, the enemy has nothing to exploit. But unfortunately, too many people pray as if the demon is causing the hindrance when in reality, the demon is just an opportunist.
The solution is to strengthen the believer, and the enemy will have no ground to apply any sort of tactic.
The Apostle Paul's prayers are a good model for us. You never see him rebuking a devil, breaking a curse, cutting a soul tie, or pulling down strongholds over cities. Instead, we always see Paul affirming believers' connection with God through Christ. He prayed that our hearts, minds, and spiritual eyes would be opened to see what is already ours in Christ. Because he knew that when a believer understands the finished work of Jesus and operates from that identity/authority, the enemy has no effect, and we will accomplish the purposes of God.
If you'd like to dig a little deeper, read through all of Paul's prayers and pay attention to how he prays. I created a blog a while ago that lists all of Paul's prayers. I pray it's a blessing to you and helps you understand better how to pray as a New Covenant believer.

Spirits, Ghosts, and Messages from the Other Side
Do you believe in angels? Do you believe in demons? Do you believe in ghosts? Do you think they are active in the world today? Christians have the capacity to distinguish between spirits and discover the truth. Jesus promised His spirit would come to live inside us and testify of Him when we are born again. His spirit inside us helps us not to be led astray by lying and deceiving spirits. Join us today and learn how to keep your hope anchored in Jesus and not be led astray by messages from the other side.
“You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led.”
Do you believe in angels? Do you believe in demons? Do you believe in ghosts? Do you think they are active in the world today?
In this message I tell a story about possibly hearing a message from my mom on the third anniversary of her passing. While we don’t understand everything there is to know about the “great cloud of witnesses,” we do know that we’re connected to the spiritual realm. I give my clear opinion about what may or may not have happened regarding a message from my mom from Heaven. I hope you watch the message before commenting.
People in our time are craving spiritual experiences. The pain of loss can make us vulnerable to deceiving spirits, but the Lord also always wants to encourage us. We must have our spiritual senses tuned to truth to discern what’s the truth in our spiritual experiences.

Quantum Entanglement and the Power of Prayer
Quantum Mechanics has shown us that there seems to be a different set of laws of physics at the quantum level. At that level, matter appears to respond to human observation rather than continuing along a deterministic course. From this understanding, we can glean insight into the power of prayer and how our prayer is powerful. Like the Centurion soldier healed by Jesus sending the word, we are connected by an unseen field that can manifest the will of God through prayer.
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made”
You are quantum entangled with God.
I love the direction my mind goes when I think about a concept like this. I love geeking out on these kinds of sermons. I preach sermons like this because I want to de-mystify spiritual power and recapture hope in the power of prayer.

I am not suggesting that the action of matter at the quantum level is spiritual power. It only helps us understand the unseen realm a bit more. I realize many strange ideas have been birthed from trying to manipulate matter due to knowledge of the spooky aspects of the quantum realm, I am not suggesting we try to manipulate the world through thought and intention. Instead, I am suggesting we use quantum-level action as a parable to understand more about the spiritual realm and the power in us.
I hope this series is helpful for you. Look for more messages on prayer from a non-mystical perspective.
