what if there are certain frequencies 0:03 that allow us to perceive in the spirit 0:05 clearer What if there are frequencies 0:07 that are actually disrupting our 0:10 perception You know and what if slight 0:12 adjustments could actually tune us back 0:14 into something we've lost or something 0:16 we've even had stolen from Sound: More Than What We Hear 0:19 us Sound more than what we 0:23 hear Sound is what's known as a 0:25 mechanical wave created when molecules 0:27 in the air are disturbed Unlike radio 0:30 waves and light waves sound can't exist 0:32 in a vacuum which is why there's no 0:34 sound in space Now when sound is created 0:38 it causes the air to vibrate which in 0:40 turn causes our eardrums to vibrate and 0:43 our brain picks up those vibrations and 0:45 interprets that as the sounds that we 0:47 hear But there's so much more to this 0:50 than meets the 0:52 eye the frequency of all things 0:55 According to quantum physics everything 0:57 in creation is in a constant state of 1:00 vibrational motion right down to the 1:02 atomic level And this means that in a 1:05 kind of a broad sense everything is 1:07 giving off a sound Not that we can hear 1:10 those sounds of course because our 1:11 hearing is pretty limited The human 1:14 hearing is limited from a range of 1:16 around 20 hertz up to around 20,000 1:19 hertz And hertz is a measurement of 1:22 vibrations per second Now beneath the 1:25 20,000 hertz range is what's known as 1:29 infrasound And we can't hear down there 1:32 but for example elephants can And um 1:35 above our range of hearing is ultrasound 1:39 You may be familiar with that from baby 1:41 scans and pregnancy scans and stuff like 1:42 that And dogs for example can hear into 1:46 that range You know like when you blow a 1:47 dog whistle you can't hear it but your 1:49 dog definitely can 1:52 And um this go just goes to prove that 1:54 there is sound in the atmosphere around 1:57 us that is not always audible to us but 2:00 it is in existence and it may well be 2:03 affecting us more than we Resonance And The Power Of Vibrations 2:05 realize Resonance and the power of 2:09 vibrations Resonance occurs when an 2:11 object naturally vibrates at its own 2:14 specific frequency You may have heard of 2:16 the Tacoma Narrows Bridge um disaster in 2:20 the 1940s when wind caused the bridge to 2:23 start swaying and then vibrating and 2:26 then its own internal resonance caused 2:28 it to amplify and it shook itself 2:30 apart You'll have witnessed this kind of 2:32 thing in everyday life as well You know 2:34 when a bus or a truck goes past the 2:37 building that you're in and the whole 2:38 windows begin to 2:40 shake The inventor Nicola Tesla took 2:43 this one step further and he made this 2:45 tone generator at subsonic frequencies 2:48 and when he turned it on the whole of 2:50 the building started to 2:52 shake You'll have seen it perhaps as 2:54 well with an opera singer when they sing 2:56 at a certain frequency that resonates 2:59 with the frequency of a glass and the 3:01 whole thing shatters If frequencies and 3:04 sound can affect physical structures in 3:06 this way my question is what effect 3:08 might they have on us Frequencies In The Bible & Science 3:10 frequencies in the Bible and 3:14 science In Genesis 1 verse two it says 3:18 that the spirit of God hovered above the 3:20 surface of the waters Now if you look at 3:22 that Hebrew word for hover it actually 3:25 means to flutter or to vibrate So even 3:28 from the beginning well even before the 3:30 beginning there's evidence of 3:32 frequencies and vibration being present 3:35 there And science makes use of all this 3:38 technology as well of sound and 3:40 vibrations and frequencies If you think 3:41 about ultrasound for example that can 3:44 break down and smash kidney stones 3:46 inside people's 3:47 bodies And subsonic frequencies um they 3:51 they would create dizziness and nausea 3:54 and and a physical effect that's very 3:56 unpleasant if you're exposed to it for 3:58 too long So my thought is that if um the 4:02 high frequency vibrations can can 4:05 destroy kidney stones and the low 4:07 frequency vibrations can make us feel 4:09 ill or and and uproot buildings from 4:11 their 4:13 foundations What who's to say that the 4:15 frequencies right in the middle are not 4:17 impacting us in ways that we haven't 4:19 actually 4:20 realized 440 htz the history of standard 4:24 tuning 4:26 440 hertz is the most common way 4:29 instruments are tuned these days And 4:31 this means that the A above middle C it 4:34 vibrates 440 times in every second Now 4:38 this tuning wasn't always like the 4:40 standard practice at all It's it's often 4:42 the the A note is often ranged from as 4:44 low as 415 all the way up to 450 4:47 depending on where you're from and stuff 4:48 like that And even today some orchestras 4:51 choose to tune differently in a way from 4:54 440 But in most popular music these days 4:57 stuff you'll hear on the radio and that 4:59 it's always almost always going to be 5:02 tuned to 440 hertz And this is despite 5:04 studies that show that it's it's a very 5:06 dissonant frequency to tune to and 5:09 disharmonic and it can create tension in 5:12 the listener And there are other 5:14 alternatives such as a equals 444 which 5:17 is what we use and uh a= 432 which is 5:21 another really good one The rule of The Rule Of Three 5:23 three from music to mathematics to the 5:26 holy The inventor Nicola Tesla is quoted 5:29 as saying if only you knew the 5:31 magnificence of the three the six and 5:33 the nine then he would have a key that 5:35 unlocks the whole universe And it's 5:38 interesting to me that the two tunings 5:39 that I mentioned before u of 432 and 444 5:44 hertz they both divide perfectly into 5:46 three whereas 440 just 5:50 doesn't You'll see across nature and the 5:53 arts and the sciences how three is often 5:55 a very foundational number and it's even 5:59 foundational in God himself For example 6:02 the Holy Trinity the Father Son and the 6:04 Holy 6:05 Spirit And three elements humans are 6:07 made up of spirit soul and 6:10 body Three notes form a musical triad 6:13 the foundation of chords and harmony 6:15 Music itself is built on three main 6:17 elements: harmony melody and rhythm 6:20 There are three primary colors red 6:23 yellow and blue Digital screens use 6:26 three light colors red green and blue 6:30 The printing process mixes three inks 6:32 cyan magenta and yellow And triangles 6:36 are one of the strongest geometric 6:37 shapes essential in construction and 6:40 engineering And the list goes on I 6:42 realize some may argue that the 6:44 significance of the number three in 6:46 terms of frequency is you know is 6:48 perhaps weakened by the fact that we're 6:50 measuring it in hertz And hertz is 6:53 vibrations per second and second can be 6:55 seen as as as an arbitrary figure as an 6:58 arbitrary you know measuring standard 7:00 but the fact is you know that's been the 7:04 base 60 method of measuring time has has 7:06 been with us since I don't know 2,000 7:08 3,000 years BC and you know it is all we 7:13 have to work A Curious Connection 7:15 with a curious 7:18 connection in 7:20 1939 in London there was a conference 7:23 held And its aim was to standardize 7:27 um tuning musical tuning to a equals 440 7:31 that dissonant disharmonious tuning Now 7:34 Germany adopted this but it wasn't until 7:37 the 50s until um most countries adopted 7:40 that as a worldwide standard 7:43 Um but there's a curious claim a curious 7:46 historical claim that that's worth 7:48 sharing in that it's believed that 7:50 Joseph Gobles who was Hitler's 7:52 right-hand man was really instrumental 7:55 in pushing the 7:58 standardization of A= 440 this 8:01 disharmonic frequency 8:04 Now there's a book here that I've want 8:07 to show you and it's the sound of 8:08 healing by Michael Turrell and he poses 8:12 a question here based on this 8:14 information and he 8:16 says where is it Why would Joseph Gobles 8:20 propaganda minister and right-hand man 8:22 to Adolf Hitler master of mind control 8:25 manipulation and unspeakable evil be so 8:28 concerned with the international 8:30 standardizing of musical pitch 8:34 Now if all that be true it does pose 8:37 some interesting questions as to why 8:39 doesn't Our Journey To 444 Hz: Divine Direction 8:40 it Our journey to 444 hertz Divine 8:45 Direction Even though I'd owned a copy 8:47 of Michael Terrell's book since 2015 8:50 Sarah and I hadn't actually done 8:51 anything about our instrument tuning at 8:54 all Um you know in many ways when you're 8:57 in a worship team and worship band and 8:58 playing with other instrumentalists it's 9:00 it's actually feels inconvenient doesn't 9:02 it And um you know I' I'd heard people I 9:05 respect like Don Potter and Ray Hughes 9:09 talk clearly about you know the benefits 9:12 of moving away from tuning to A= 440 but 9:15 we just hadn't done anything about it 9:17 really Well that changed um in 2023 when 9:22 I came across a video by Dr Laura Sanger 9:25 and it was talking about um A= 444 hertz 9:30 and and being the frequency that unlocks 9:31 revelation and it was kind of at that 9:34 moment I don't know something felt 9:36 urgent and real and important in that 9:38 moment from all the stuff that I'd known 9:40 about in the past So Sarah and I decided 9:42 to pray about it you know is this 9:44 something we ought to actually do And so 9:47 we did and it wasn't a matter of days 9:50 when Sarah shouted me to come and look 9:51 at the banking app on her phone and both 9:56 um accounts on on her phone finished in 10:00 in 10:02 £444 And I thought that's weird isn't it 10:04 That really caught her attention And I 10:06 went back to the studio to carry on 10:07 working Hopped onto Facebook and noticed 10:09 that I had 444 friends on Facebook This 10:13 kind of thing kept happening You know 10:15 it's happened many times We've been 10:16 driving along discussing this subject of 10:18 worship and frequency and sound and a 10:20 car will go past and the number plate be 10:24 inclusive of the numbers 444 It just 10:27 happened over again And it even happened 10:28 when I was writing the notes for this 10:30 talk that I'm I'm giving here I asked 10:33 the Lord again like "Do you really want 10:35 me to do this Is it something I should 10:38 be doing?" And the next morning I woke 10:40 up naturally at 4:44 a.m And the 10:44 following morning I woke up naturally at 10:46 4:44 a.m And um the first morning when I 10:51 turned my car on um the dial you know 10:54 the dashboard lights up and the miles 10:57 left in the tank I had 444 miles in the 11:00 tank And it's just been going on and on 11:02 and on And of course we don't blindly 11:03 just follow these as as these signs as 11:06 the be all and end all but they are like 11:07 signs along a motorway And so we're 11:10 choosing this path you know as much an 11:13 act of faith as it is knowledge It 11:16 really is And by orthodox standards it's 11:20 you know is quite unconventional But in 11:23 reality how many people have made you 11:27 know forward advancements in anything by 11:29 being conventional people Attunement & Frequency 11:32 attunement and 11:35 frequency Just like with a radio the 11:37 further you turn the dial from the 11:39 correct frequency the quieter the signal 11:42 gets and the louder the noise becomes 11:44 doesn't it And if you turn it far enough 11:46 you end up with no signal whatsoever and 11:49 just complete static And the same is 11:52 true um spiritually I believe You know 11:54 what If there are certain frequencies 11:56 that allow us to perceive in the spirit 11:58 clearer what if there are frequencies 12:00 that are actually disrupting our 12:03 perception you know and what if slight 12:05 adjustments could actually tune us back 12:07 into something we've lost or something 12:09 we've even had stolen from Sound & Spirit 12:12 us Sound and 12:15 spirit In John 6 Jesus said "My words 12:19 are spirit." 12:21 So he's saying his words are something 12:23 beyond just merely physical sound And he 12:27 he does say like those who have ears let 12:29 them hear He's talking about spiritual 12:31 hearing to hear beyond the physical into 12:33 the spirit 12:34 realm And we see this in in Genesis as 12:38 well um regarding Adam and Eve when it 12:41 says you know the Lord God was walking 12:42 through the garden in the cool of the 12:44 day 12:46 And that word cool is the word ruak And 12:50 it's only ever translated cool once in 12:52 the Bible that I'm aware of And it's 12:54 more commonly translated as breath 27 12:57 times wind 92 times and spirit 232 times 13:02 So that's the the dominant translation 13:05 of that word So what if the sound of God 13:09 wasn't just his footsteps in the garden 13:11 on like a pleasant summer's evening but 13:14 it was actually the sound of his 13:16 approaching in the realm of the Jesus, Wind & Spirit 13:19 spirit Jesus wind and 13:22 spirit The relationship between wind and 13:26 spirit and their interchangeable nature 13:29 is is evident in when Jesus um rebuked 13:32 the storm as well You know he he said he 13:35 rebuked the wind and then he spoke to 13:37 the waves And if we swap out the word 13:40 wind for spirit I can't help but wonder 13:43 was he rebuking the spirit that was 13:44 causing the storm and then he spoke to 13:47 the waves to calm down the physical 13:49 realm And another thing I find 13:51 interesting is when Jesus answered the 13:52 fig tree he didn't say he spoke to it 13:55 The the literal word is he answered So 13:57 it's like something in creation 13:58 something in that tree was speaking and 14:01 Jesus answered it So creation is 14:04 speaking The Bible says creation groans 14:07 And my question is have we got ears to 14:09 hear 14:10 that music and spiritual 14:14 influence Music has a long been a 14:16 spiritual force It's got the power to 14:18 attract and the power to repel If you 14:21 think about David when he played for 14:24 King Saul and King Saul was being 14:27 harassed by an evil spirit and when 14:29 David played that spirit left and then 14:32 there's another occasion when Elisha was 14:35 about to prophesy to the king and he 14:38 said can you first bring me a minstrel 14:40 and when that minstrel played then the 14:42 hand of the Lord came on Elisha and then 14:45 he was able to prophesy So when you 14:47 think about it and the instrument that 14:50 was used um to all intents and purposes 14:52 were the same and it was just one man 14:54 playing and but the results were 14:57 different One was an attraction and an 15:00 invitation to one spirit and to the 15:02 other spirit it was a repellent and an 15:05 eviction You know I truly believe that 15:08 played rightly and and rightly attuned 15:10 that music has the power to invite the 15:13 holy and to repel the 15:17 profane And you know David he not only 15:20 you know brought relief to Saul with his 15:23 music he he also raised up an army of 15:26 musicians and they were to engage the 15:28 spirit realm with their music It says in 15:32 1 Chronicles 25:1 "David and the 15:34 captains of the army separated for the 15:36 service some of the sons of Asaf of 15:38 Heman and of Jedithan who should 15:40 prophesy with harps stringed instruments 15:43 and Music & Spiritual Encounter 15:45 symbols Music and spiritual 15:49 encounter Music is far more than just an 15:52 art form It's a spiritual conduit And 15:55 it's not just in the Bible where we find 15:57 this but in in history Take for example 16:01 handle when he was writing the 16:03 Hallelujah chorus from Messiah he's 16:07 quoted as saying as I composed this 16:09 whether I was in the body or out of the 16:11 body I don't even know um God only 16:15 knows and that's a reference that's very 16:18 very similar to the Apostle Paul in um 16:21 second Corinthians in the Bible and it's 16:24 clear that Handel was having some kind 16:26 of spiritual encounter via his music 16:29 with God that was entirely detached from 16:33 his physical 16:34 frame Spiritual atmospheres and Spiritual Atmospheres & Communication 16:38 communication How sound waves travel and 16:40 are perceived depends entirely on the 16:43 type and the consistency of the 16:44 surrounding 16:46 atmosphere Some planets can transmit and 16:49 receive sound but because the atmosphere 16:51 is different the sound would be 16:52 different to how it's perceived here on 16:54 Earth Likewise in the spirit the 16:57 atmosphere influences how clearly we 16:59 give and receive divine 17:02 communication on earth as it is in On Earth As It Is In Heaven 17:06 heaven The concept of on earth as it is 17:08 in heaven that Jesus famously prayed is 17:12 about establishing on earth the 17:14 atmosphere that resides in heaven You 17:17 know and this is really reflective of 17:19 the the apostolic calling isn't it where 17:22 the apostle takes the culture of one 17:24 place takes it to another place and 17:26 establishes it there And and in the same 17:29 way we're called to take the atmosphere 17:32 how it is in heaven and make that the 17:35 reality here on earth So if sound is 17:38 able to impact both the physical and the 17:40 spiritual realms I have these questions 17:43 for us Which frequencies are we 17:46 resonating 17:47 with What atmosphere are we cultivating 17:52 And what spiritual activity are we 17:54 inviting 17:56 [Music]
