THIS IS THE WAY FIVE DAYS WITH SAINT TERESA OF ÁVILA DAY ONE: THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN What if the greatest journey you will ever take is not outward, but inward? Over 400 years ago, a Christian mystic named Saint Teresa of Ávila discovered something that radically transformed her relationship with God. She began experiencing extraordinary depths of prayer, encounters with Christ, divine love, and spiritual union. In 1577, she wrote a masterpiece called The Interior Castle. She described the human soul as a beautiful castle made of diamond or crystal, containing seven mansions, with the deepest communion with God found at its center. And here’s where it gets powerful. Most people spend their entire lives searching outside themselves for something that God is inviting them to discover through intimate communion with Him. Jesus said: “The kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21 KJV Paul said: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 And Jesus prayed: “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us.” John 17:21 Do you see the invitation? Christianity was never intended to be merely an external religious performance. It is an invitation into living communion with the Father through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Teresa taught that prayer is not merely reciting words. It is developing an intimate friendship with the One who loves us. She described seven mansions representing the soul’s progressive transformation through prayer, humility, surrender, divine love, and ultimately spiritual union. But here’s something fascinating. The deeper Teresa went into contemplative prayer, the more she emphasized humility, self-knowledge, and love for others. The goal was never simply to have supernatural experiences. The goal was to become transformed by the love of God. And that transformation must manifest in how we actually live. You can speak in tongues, prophesy, have visions, and experience extraordinary encounters, but if you aren’t growing in love, what are we really accomplishing?

THIS IS THE WAY…FREQUENCY WEEK…DAY 5!! GOD IS FREQUENCY!! The Highest Frequency Bears the Greatest Fruit We started this week with a bold declaration. GOD IS FREQUENCY. And all week long, we’ve been asking one question. WHAT ARE YOU TUNING INTO? Today we’re closing this week by going straight to the source. God is Spirit. God is Light. God is Love. God is Life. And everything we experience in this physical world involves energy, movement, and interaction. Science tells us that matter is made of particles and fields. Atoms and molecules have measurable patterns of motion and vibration. Light is electromagnetic radiation with measurable frequencies. Our brains produce electrical rhythms. Our hearts produce measurable electrical activity. Frequency is not imaginary. It is a measurable part of the physical universe. Now let’s go deeper. 1. GOD IS THE SOURCE, NOT JUST ANOTHER SIGNAL John 4:24 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” 1 John 1:5 “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” 1 John 4:8 “God is love.” Acts 17:28 “For in him we live, and move, and have our being.” When I say GOD IS FREQUENCY, I’m declaring a spiritual understanding of the God who sustains all creation. I’m not saying science has measured God in hertz. It hasn’t. I’m saying the God who created every frequency is the source of the life, order, and harmony we are learning to live in. And the highest expression of our alignment with the Father is LOVE. 2. YOUR INTERNAL STATE CHANGES YOUR PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE Here’s where science gets beautiful. Your nervous system is constantly responding to your thoughts, emotions, environment, breathing, and relationships. Research in neuroscience and physiology shows us: * Slow, controlled breathing can influence heart-rate variability and support autonomic regulation. * Chronic stress can disrupt sleep, immune function, attention, and emotional regulation. * Meditation can change patterns of brain activity and improve emotional regulation.

FREQUENCY… DAY FOUR EVERYTHING IS IN MOTION! The science of resonance, healing, and manifestation Everything in the physical world is made of matter and energy, and at the atomic level, matter is never completely still. Atoms vibrate. Molecules oscillate. Sound travels in waves. Light carries electromagnetic frequencies. Your heart beats rhythmically. Your brain produces measurable electrical oscillations. FREQUENCY IS NOT JUST A SPIRITUAL CONCEPT. IT IS A SCIENTIFIC REALITY! And today we’re going deeper. We’ve already talked about vibration, tuning our attention, and renewing our minds. Now let’s talk about how frequencies interact with matter, influence biological systems, and help us understand the relationship between our internal state and the world we experience. 1. RESONANCE: WHEN FREQUENCIES WORK TOGETHER In physics, resonance happens when a system responds strongly to stimulation at or near one of its natural frequencies. Think about a singer causing a glass to vibrate with sound. Or a musician tuning two instruments to the same note. When the conditions are right, energy transfers efficiently and the response becomes stronger. This is not imaginary. This is physics. And here’s the spiritual application. What happens when your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, words, and actions begin working together instead of against one another? You stop living internally divided. James 1:8 says: “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” Imagine the difference between a person who wants healing but continually lives in panic and a person who combines faith with peace, restorative sleep, nourishing food, prayer, and consistent action. Their internal and behavioral conditions are different, and those conditions can influence their physical well-being. ALIGNMENT MATTERS! 2. FREQUENCY AND THE HEALING BODY This is where the science gets fascinating! Medicine already uses physical waves, electrical stimulation, and rhythmic signals in therapeutic applications. Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves.

FREQUENCY…DAY THREE WHAT YOU FEED GETS STRONGER You are always tuning in. But here is the next thing we have to understand: Whatever you continually give your attention to, you strengthen in your experience. You cannot spend all day feeding fear and expect to experience peace. You cannot rehearse rejection all day and expect to feel loved. You cannot constantly replay what somebody did to you and expect to walk in forgiveness. You cannot stare at the problem all day and wonder why the problem feels enormous. What you consistently behold begins to shape you. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says that as we behold the glory of the Lord, we are transformed into that same image. BEHOLDING PRODUCES BECOMING. That is why your attention matters. Your eyes matter. Your ears matter. Your imagination matters. Your inner conversation matters. Your words matter. Romans 10:17 says: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Notice that faith comes by HEARING. Something is always preaching to you. Your past can preach to you. Fear can preach to you. Your circumstances can preach to you. Other people can preach to you. Your emotions can preach to you. Or the WORD OF GOD can preach to you. The question is: WHO HAS THE MICROPHONE? If your feelings say: “I’m rejected.” But the Father says: “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” Who gets the microphone? If fear says: “Something terrible is going to happen.” But God says: “I have not given you a spirit of fear.” Who gets the microphone? If your past says: “You’ll always be this way.” But God says: “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” Who gets the microphone? THIS IS FREQUENCY. Not pretending circumstances don’t exist. Not denying emotions. Not calling something good when it is harmful. It is deciding what gets to become the dominant voice inside of you. Philippians 4:8 tells us exactly where to place our attention: Whatever is true. Whatever is honorable. Whatever is just. Whatever is pure. Whatever is lovely.

FREQUENCY…DAY TWO WHAT YOU FEED GETS LOUDER Yesterday we established something simple: YOU ARE ALWAYS TUNING IN. Your attention is going somewhere. Your imagination is seeing something. Your emotions are responding to something. Your mouth is agreeing with something. Today we take it one step further: WHAT YOU CONTINUALLY GIVE YOUR ATTENTION TO GETS LOUDER IN YOUR EXPERIENCE. Romans 8:5 says: “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.” Notice the word MIND. What are you setting your mind on? Because you can belong to God and still spend your entire morning tuned into fear. You can know Scripture and spend three hours rehearsing an offense. You can believe in forgiveness while replaying what somebody did to you. You can believe God provides while constantly imagining yourself running out. You can believe God loves you while allowing shame to preach to you all day long. This is why frequency, as we are using the word in this teaching, is so practical. I am not talking about some magical number of hertz. I am talking about what you are repeatedly TUNED TO. Colossians 3:2 says: “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” SET IT. That means there is intentionality involved. You do not have to accept every thought that enters your mind. You do not have to entertain every fear your feelings produce. You do not have to build a house for every thought that knocks on the door. You can recognize it and redirect. This is where we have to become extremely practical. The SECOND I begin hearing something from my feelings, fears, flesh, past, trauma, circumstances or imagination that does not line up with what the Father says, I recognize that I am beginning to tune into the wrong station. And I RESET. If the Father says forgiveness and I am rehearsing offense, RESET. If the Father says unconditional love and I am rehearsing rejection, RESET. If the Father keeps no record of wrongs and I am mentally building a case against somebody, RESET.
