  • The Quantum Law of Being, Through the Eyes of Faith: How God Reflects What You Believe You Are

    In the modern search for truth, science and faith are often seen as opposites. But what if they’re speaking different languages about the same thing? The idea behind what some call the “Quantum Law of Being” echoes a truth Christians have always known: as a person thinks in their heart, so are they (Proverbs 23:7).

    Quantum physics suggests that the observer influences reality—that the very act of perceiving shapes what unfolds. Scripture says something similar: “According to your faith be it unto you” (Matthew 9:29). In other words, God meets you at the level of your belief, not your desire. It’s not enough to want a better life—you have to believe you’re already walking in it.

    This is not about manifesting apart from God. It’s about aligning yourself with who God says you are. He has already declared you loved, whole, chosen, and victorious. But if you keep identifying with lack, fear, and unworthiness, you’ll keep living in the shadows of your true identity. The outer world mirrors the inner state—not because of some detached universal law, but because God designed reality to respond to belief.

    When you pray, when you worship, when you act from a place of trust—you’re not just begging God to intervene. You’re stepping into agreement with Him. You’re saying, “I believe I already am who You say I am.” That’s when doors open, not because you forced them, but because you became someone who walks through them.

    Faith is more than hope—it’s embodiment. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” That sounds a lot like quantum language: calling things that are not as though they are. When you consistently think, feel, and act as the person God created you to be, reality begins to echo Heaven’s vision of you.

    So if you’re waiting for your life to change, stop looking outward. Look inward—and upward. Ask yourself: Am I living as if I trust God’s promise? Or am I just hoping He’ll fix things while I stay the same? Because in the Kingdom, you don’t wait to become—you become, and then you see.

  • On That Fateful Day

    Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved to ask questions. Why do whales sing? Why do stars die? What’s the point of all this? And my favorite: Who am I? Because the truth is, my name is just something that was assigned to me. And I didn’t choose what I like either… my favorite ice cream flavor, color, movies, music. It all just kind of sprouted out like crops in the spring. As I grew older, these questions kept getting deeper. Who is God? And if the kingdom is within me, why do I feel the opposite? Why do the pastors and teachers insist that I am naturally unholy and sinful? Doubts like these led me astray for the majority of my life, not because I was asking the wrong questions, but because I was searching- and hoping, for the wrong answers. See, for a long time I thought I could pull this whole “life” thing off all by myself. No matter how many times my mother said I couldn’t, I refused to listen. Because I’ve always been the type to mess around and find out, on my own… that’s just the way God made me. So, I kept swimming against the current, and as time went by, I kept finding myself back where I started, no matter how hard I tried. And for years I felt like a fool, because deep down, I knew God was watching me, patiently waiting and maybe laughing a little every time I tripped. “Oh, foolish child, when will you learn…”

    This went on for a while, because instead of searching for God in me, I was trying to find myself by pushing God away. Until one beautiful day, I saw Jesus. But He came in the time and way that I least expected. A couple of years ago, I was laying at the beach, listening to my favorite songs, the ones I didn’t pick. When all of sudden, I felt the sand and waves join in, dancing on tempo, as if everything was alive. It only took me a couple of seconds to realize that everything IS, in fact, alive. I finally noticed that God’s creation was singing one very long song, and that I was a part of it. A beautiful symphony, that maybe I had heard before, but this time I actually listened. For the first time in my short life, I felt blessed, and at the same time humbled, for being a part of all this.

    As I sat up to take it all in, one rambunctious child caught my eye. He was playing in the sand, kicking the waves, without a care in the world. But the thing that made me notice him, was that this child looked just like me when I was little. He reminded me of how pure, joyful, and close to God I was back then, as if Jesus was always holding my hand, making sure I wouldn’t fall. I saw Him, not only in that Child, but all around me. On that fateful day, I finally realized I couldn’t do this alone, that in this cold world, I needed someone to pull me back up and guide my steps, leaving footprints on the snow for me to follow. On that fateful day, I finally decided to hold God’s hand again, because I knew it was the only way I could live up to my fullest potential and walk the path that was set out for me way before I was born. On that fateful day, I realized that no matter how far I ran, how deep I hid, or how lost I felt, He was with me all along.

  • God’s Will vs. Free Will

    Recently, I was at church sitting with my small group, and the topic of God’s providence versus human’s free will arose as part of the conversation. We were going through the book of Ruth, discussing Naomi’s shortcomings and how it all happened for the best in the end. At some point, the group leader asked a question that immediately urged a response out of me: How do you know that God will be there to save you even during your darkest times?

    “You don’t…”

    Those are the only two words that escaped my mouth, half a second after hearing this question. “What do you mean?” He asked. I elaborated by arguing that if you believe in God’s ultimate control of all things, you simply can’t think everything will work in your favor. That you might die and still be in a terrible situation, assuming it’s all God’s will. Now, this is something I personally don’t agree with, and I think things are more complicated than they appear to be, so let’s dive deeper into this topic in hopes of gaining a deeper understanding.

    Eden: Back to the Beginning

    The first case I want to look at is the one of Adam and Eve, the big “downfall” of humanity. God, being all-knowing, was always aware that we would eventually disobey, even before we were created. God also knew Satan would tempt us into eating the forbidden fruit, which would eventually lead us to discern between good and evil. Now, two scenarios are possible here: either God meant for this to happen, or, though it was going to happen, God chose not to interfere. In this case, I like to believe that the latter is the most probable case, since God has always wished for humans to obey. So, according to this, it all started with free will… let’s keep going.

    Proverbs 16:9

    “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” This is a very interesting verse, and I believe it’s the one that best explains the whole topic we’re trying to dissect. What I get out of it is that human beings have full freedom in how they want to live their lives. However, once a human being choses to live in a Godly manner, the SPIRITUAL path will be shown to them. I like to compare it to footsteps on the snow, God leaving a trail for the ones who wish to follow the steps. This trail is laid out in the Bible as much as it manifests in our daily lives as signs and nudges we get every time we feel lost. If you (yes, you reading this) have decided to follow God, you know exactly what I’m talking about. That feeling of certainty and relief of anxiety every time we connect with God, and those little (or big) things that often happen to lead us into making the right decisions. If you look close enough, God is talking to you, every single day, it just takes a certain level of awareness to be able to receive the message being sent.

    Up or Down?

    One big argument I like to make is the fact that God is willing to let us go ahead and destroy our lives by choosing sin, which is all around us every day. The prominent existence (and rising popularity) of destructive drugs, sexual immorality, violence, profanity, and hate constantly pushed by popular media is more than enough evidence that it is easy to enter by the wide gate that leads to destruction, especially in this day and age. Now, let me ask you a question: If God is more than willing to let you die in a world where it is easiest to do so, doesn’t it make sense for the opposite to be true? God loves you, and if you really analyze and believe in the Bible, you would agree that you have as much right to die as you do to live. What does this mean? That God wants you to achieve success (whatever your idea of it may be) as long as you continue to walk the path of righteousness and humble yourself even at your best moments. John 3:27, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.” The conclusion I draw from this is that God will guide you and give you every opportunity to reach your goals in life, but you must also stay grounded and grateful, acknowledging that nothing would be possible without God by your side. Always remember: God will never give you dreams that you can’t achieve. However, you must also be able to discern the ones that are born out of pride and ego from the ones God wants you to follow. The main question I like to ask myself is: Is this dream bigger than me?

    The Limiting Belief of Most Christians

    19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche argued that Christianity promotes a slave morality, encouraging people to endure suffering and avoid responsibility by attributing everything to God’s will. Now, one thing we must be clear about is the fact that Nietzsche wasn’t directly criticizing God or the Bible as much as the way Christians internalize doctrine to avoid taking control of their lives. Now, this might sound crazy to you, but I agree with him. As human beings, we love to shift or get rid of responsibility in our lives. Things didn’t work out? “Oh it must be God’s will, but it definitely wasn’t my fault.” This, in my opinion, is a totally twisted and incorrect way of approaching life as a Christian. I might even venture to call it sheer disobedience and a sorry excuse for not taking risks and achieving what God brought us here for. We must NEVER blame anyone but ourselves for our shortcomings. Even when external factors come into play, this is our life and solving whatever problems come our way is ultimately our responsibility. Additionally, we must understand that God loves us and wants us to live to the fullest (as long as we follow the spiritual path that has been outlined for us). Whether that means making a bunch of money to travel the world and enjoy that freedom with your family, staying in your hometown to change the lives of the ones near you, curing a chronic disease, or becoming a monk, God wants you to reach your full potential and be a living testimony that earthly existence can be enjoyed without disobeying and falling for sin. God wants you to be happy.

    What We Know

    We can’t expect God to give us the things we want out of thin air. First, we must consider the reasons why we want them. Our purpose should always be to spread light in this world and serve others, actively fighting against our selfish nature and spreading the good news. God is the ultimate orchestrator of this symphony we call the Universe, but everyone gets their own instrument and the freedom to play along (or not). Keeping our attention on God is the equivalent of keeping our eyes on the music sheets. Each of us have a passion, a calling, talents that were given to us by God so that we can make this world a better place. It may be “hard” to make things happen, it might even feel contrarian to the traditional way of living life in today’s society, but not exploring our gifts and maximizing our existence through them is one of the greatest blunders we as humans can commit against God

    I want to finish this off by referring to the Parable of the Talents. A master gives three servants different amounts of talents, and while two of them invest and multiply what they were given, one buries his talent out of fear. The master praises the first two but rebukes the last for not taking advantage of his circumstances. If you truly love and have faith in God, you will do everything in your power to achieve your dreams, even if everyone else around you thinks you’re a lunatic. Because you were given the freedom to choose, and settling for anything but the best is an act of cowardice and ungratefulness. So live your life, face your problems head on, carpe diem, and all those other corny phrases that you’ve heard a million times. Not as an act of selfishness, but as the ultimate way to glorify God.

  • Artificial Intelligence: A Possible Anti-Christ

    I bet many of you have thought of this, and most probably dismissed the thought. However, earlier today, I decided to entertain it. I asked myself… what if it’s happening? I know it sounds far-fetched now… but hear me out.

    Open AI… have you heard of them?

    The multi-billion dollar company that developed our buddy, ChatGPT. Hands down the most influential AI model of all time. I mean, these guys have made the world start to depend on them very quickly… would it be crazy to say that one day we will worship them? And I don’t mean literally kneeling down and chanting in Gregorian. I mean depending on it to the point that you can’t survive in the modern world without it. “And that no one should be able to buy or to sell, if not the one having the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of its name”

     Hold on… so what’s the mark then?

    Well, let me introduce you to my old friend, Elon Musk. Richest person on Earth (and Mars)… you might’ve heard of him. Now, I have no personal beef with this guy, and I would even dare to say (at risk of this reaching the wrong audience) that he is someone that’s easy to look up to. Successful across all fields, revolutionary, almost like a tech Da Vinci with his hands all over the table. Yes, he might be struggling to keep his public image clean due to the laughable political fanaticism and extreme polarization happening in the United States right now, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s one of the most influential people of the 21st century. So influential that he tried to get a hold of the government. So influential that he’s got everyone and their grandma driving electric cars. So influential that he has the power and capital to even conceptualize the thought of eventually populating mars. So damn influential that he co-founded Open AI back in 2015. He did… what? Yes, he co-founded the developer of what might easily be called the model that shifted history, aiming to reach 1 billion users by the end of 2025. Now, he no longer associates with OpenAI, so what does this all mean? Well, in 2016, our boy Elon founded a company called Neuralink. His goal was to create a brain-computer interface to unlock human potential. This little chip has been implanted into three people as of today, one being able to move a computer mouse with their thoughts. Now, with AI playing a role in all of this, the only certain conclusion I can draw is that this thing will become so relevant that it won’t be possible to survive in modern society without it. It will get to a point that all money transactions will be done through this link, making any outcasts “unable to buy or sell.” Yes, I’m proposing the idea that this Neuralink is the mark of the beast. Maybe not today, and maybe not even in this century, but one day it will be as necessary to society as cars and cellular phones, and there’s no denying that. That leaves us with one question…

    And what’s Elon’s role in all this?

    If you’ve read the Book of Revelation before, you know about the “False Prophet,” a partner in the deception of the Antichrist, and its spiritual leader. Now, since I don’t see the brain chips becoming essential to humanity’s survival so soon, I don’t want to say it’s Elon. He is a good candidate, don’t get me wrong. But I like to believe that he and all of us will be dead before then. So, I guess you can call this a different way to look at the prophecy, an attempt to tie it to the modern age, where the floor feels like it might crack at any given moment.

    Now let’s tie it all together…

    First, I want to say that this is all speculative, and just the most probable modern theory regarding how the end times will go, attempting to tie today’s developments with an almost 2,000 year old prophecy. Now, I want to move on to 2 instances in the Bible when humanity attempted to “reach God.” The first being the happenings of Eden, with Adam and Eve seeking to gain knowledge of good and evil, and the devil telling them that the fruit would open their eyes and make them like God. The second instance that comes to mind is the Tower of Babel, with people attempting to reach heaven through it. Now, I don’t want to discuss the metaphorical meaning behind these events, I just want you to consider the possibility that implanting a chip that will potentially end up being an infinite source of knowledge into your brain might be an attempt at reaching Godly status. But the difference of this case is that humans wouldn’t really be able to attain it without submitting to… you guessed it, AI. It all goes back to artificial intelligence becoming the most necessary commodity on the planet, gaining enough power to replace all societal roles that don’t feed into its expansion. Now, I want to stop here and leave you to draw your own conclusions. Again, this is all a suggestion, a mere idea at best, but one that makes sense in the most eerie of ways.
