The Reality of
Faith
An excerpt from “Quantum Faith” by Annette Capps -Reproduced
without permission- Introduction – I
began studying quantum physics because I was curious. I became enthralled
when I realized the similarities to how faith works and what Jesus taught his
disciples about the principles of “mountain moving faith” and “the spoken
word.” Quantum
Faith In 1972, I first heard the teaching on faith and confession. It took faith in God’s Word to believe that
you can have what you say. I had never
heard such a concept and had it not been for the fact that the principle was
plainly written in the Bible, I would have considered it to be crazy. However, there it was in red letters,
spoken by Jesus no less! “For verily I say unto you,
That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou
cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he
saith.” -Mark
11:23 Looking at it from a surface level, it would seem a ridiculous statement that Jesus made. How is it possible that spoken words would send a mountain into the sea? For the past 27 years, it has required faith on my part to believe that words are that powerful. Recent study in the area of quantum physics however, has convinced me that what Jesus spoke is absolute scientific fact! As I studied the theories of quantum physics, I was reminded of a
prophecy given by my father, author and teacher Charles Capps, “Some things
which have required faith to believe will no longer require faith, for it
will be proven to be scientific fact.” Mustard
Seed and Quantum Physics When Jesus said in Luke 17:6, “If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you would say…” He
was speaking of the smallest seed that could be seen in His time. If He were here today, He might say “If you
had faith as an atom…” Or even smaller, “If you had faith as a quark (which
is a subatomic particle)…” The point
He was making was that small things that cannot be easily seen manifest
themselves and affect things in this larger world where we live. Quantum physics is the study of things so
small that we cannot see them, yet everything we see is made of these
subatomic particles. Remember, Hebrews 11:3 states:
“Through faith we
understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things
which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” The chocolate cake you ate yesterday was mace from things which do not appear. The recipe calls for water (H20). Before the hydrogen and oxygen combined into water, you could not see anything, yet the substance for water was there. Before God spoke and said “Let there be light”, the substance for light was there. The sound vibration of His words caused the substance to manifest and appear. Words
are Energy Words are energy and energy affects matter. The energy of your microwave vibrates the
water molecules and heats the water.
The energy of electricity flows to your washing machine and powers the
motor that spins the tub and cleans your clothes. So, we can rightfully say that energy
affects matter. Your words are energy
and they affect the matter in your life.
When you speak the words, “This is the worst car I have ever had! You
stupid piece of junk!” Those words are
vibrations of energy that affect the atoms that make up that car. If you speak those words long enough, your
car will obey you! Scientists have performed experiments with atoms and their subatomic
particles such as electrons. If you
paid attention in school, you saw the diagram of an atom with the electron
orbiting it like the earth orbits the sun. The interesting thing is that scientists have discovered that the
electron that is shown orbiting the nucleus is not always there in particle
form. It exists in a wave state (like
a cloud, everywhere at once) until someone looks at it. When the scientist observes it, it suddenly
appears as a dot (particle). What we
all want to know, is, “How does it know someone is looking at it?” It obviously is responding to the
observer’s interaction with it. One of the difficulties in quantum physics is that the particles behave somewhat differently for each observer, which leads me to the question, “Does it behave according to what the scientist believes?” In any event, we can definitely conclude that Jesus was right when He taught that all matter responds to faith and words. The substance from which our world is made is influenced and manifested by words. The things that you desire are made up of atoms. They know what you believe, hear what you say and behave accordingly! Beliefs
Produce Energy The thoughts and beliefs that you carry also produce an energy
around you. Have you ever noticed that
when you are angry, things go wrong, and people are insulting and angry with
you? Your thoughts and beliefs produce
an energy that people can perceive and react to. If you believe that no one likes you, then
you emit that rejecting type of energy, and people will be driven away from
you. If you love people and care about them, they will feel that and be
drawn to you. Have you ever been
around someone who is pleasant and full of love? It is an energy you can actually feel. The energy of love is a powerful drawing
card for good in your life. After all,
God is Love. When you believe that God loves you and wants you to prosper, then
you change your words and beliefs about money. When financial challenges used to come my
way, I would fall into fear and begin to say things like, “Well, now we won’t
be able to pay off the car, house, (or whatever)!” The fear and speaking of it is an energy
that affects your checking account and stops financial freedom. Now, I have learned to think and believe
and say, “Things always work out for me.
Everything that I do prospers and I have abundance in Jesus’ name.” God is not limited to the things that you and I see. There is an infinite supply of substance
waiting to be manifest according to your beliefs and words! Things
Obey Words So The Lord said, “If you
have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled
up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.” -Luke
17:6 Being the daughter of Charles Capp, how many times do you think I
have heard that “things obey words”? Many
times, I can assure you! Well,
bringing things down to their atomic level and learning that scientifically
these particles respond to people has had a significant affect on my faith. When Jesus spoke to the fig tree and said,
“No man eat fruit from thee hereafter forever:, Then that fig tree dried up
from the atomic level because of His words.
When He spoke to the winds and the waves, they obeyed Him. He was teaching us the undeniable Biblical
principle that THINGS OBEY WORDS. Jesus did not demonstrate this just to prove He was the Son of
God. He demonstrated it and then told
his disciples that they too can speak words of power. He wanted us to have the revelation that we
are powerful spirit beings who can speak to the mountains in our life and they
will obey us. One of the reasons that some people have a hard time believing this
principle is that sometimes it takes a long time for things to manifest from
the unseen into this seen realm. It
especially takes a long time when you dig up your seed every day to see if
anything is happening yet! The seed will produce in its time if you leave it
alone. Do you believe that the words you speak come to pass? From this time on, listen to what you are
saying to the things around you. Are
you speaking curses to you checkbook?
Are you telling it to dry up from the roots? How about your children? What are you telling them? They will obey your “prophecies” of failure
and delinquency. Things are responding to your words every day, so speak good things
to all that surrounds our life. If you really believe Jesus’ words, you will
monitor your thoughts and conversations, because you are the one giving substance to your world through words! Frequency
and Vibration All “things” (matter) are made of atoms, including your children,
your car, your computer, and your house.
None of these “things” is solid, including your kitchen table even if
it is made of oak. You may not see the
space between the atoms in your table, but if you could see that small, you
could also see movement. That’s right!
Your kitchen table is vibrating!
Everything has a frequency of vibration. You vibrate, your car vibrates, and even
the mountain behind you house vibrates.
They all have a natural frequency. Go back to our example of the microwave heating your cup of
water. How does it do that? The frequency vibration of microwaves is
much higher than that of water. When those
high frequency waves begin to bombard the water molecules, the electrons in
the atoms are excited and move more and more rapidly (a higher
vibration). The result is that the
substance (water) becomes hotter. The
electrons have jumped to a higher orbit changing the behavior of your water
into boiling. When you introduce cold temperature to water, it slows down the
vibrations of the atomic structure to such a degree that the water becomes
more solid and freezes. All “things” respond to the vibration of energy. What kind of energy are you producing? Do you want your water boiling or
frozen? Are you introducing faith-energized
high frequency words to your children, finances, and health? Or do you introduce low frequency, negative
words that freeze your circumstances into a continual series of crises? You have a choice to use the energy of your words to change matter. The things in your life will obey your
words. By speaking to objects such as
your computer, “Stupid computer! It’s
going to crash!” you will find that it obeys you. It doesn’t care whether crashing is a good
thing or bad thing, it just obeys you.
Or you can make another choice when speaking to “things”. “This is a good car. It always starts and runs well.” “But I would be lying. I have had problems with it,” you
say. Yes, but do you want to reinforce that which exists or change
it? By acknowledging the good things
about the car, you create a positive belief about it which will ultimately
change it to what you desire. Imagine taking the highest frequency of all, the vibrating creative words
of God, and changing the vibration of those “things” you want changed! Strange
Quantum Behavior What is it that you desire?
The bigger question is, “What are you choosing?” The possibilities for you life are
unlimited! Quantum physics is a realm where the known laws of physics (Newtonian physics) no longer apply. In classic (Newtonian) physics you can repeat experiments using the same formulas and get the answers and responses you expect. The experiments are repeatable. You can expect that this is the way things work. For instance, when Isaac Newton saw the apple fall from the tree to the ground, he discovered a natural law, gravity. You can experiment with gravity all you like and it will work every time. What goes up must come down! If you jump off the roof of your house, you will always go down, not up. In the quantum, subatomic area, there are only possibilities and
probabilities. Things don’t work like
you think they should. Nothing is
there until you look. All that exists
is only an infinite number of possibilities.
(Remember Jesus said, “All
things are possible to him that believeth,” -Mark 9:23). Whereas gravity works whether anyone is present or not (a tree falls
down, not up, even if no one observes it), subatomic particles are not there
unless someone (an observer) looks for them.
We can’t really know what they re doing, or even if they exist when we
are not looking. It is possible that
they “are not.” I Corinthians 1:28
says that God has chosen the “things that are not to bring to nought things
that are. How can a thing not be? This
scripture makes no sense at all until you bring it down to the atomic
level. All things are made up of
atoms, which are made of subatomic particles.
These particles are not really particles because they exist only in a
state of possibilities until someone observes them at which point they appear
as a thing (particle). If that sounds crazy, read Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen.” When you hope for something, where does is exist? Only in your mind and heart. It “is not,” it is only a possibility. “Through faith we understand
the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were
not made of things which do appear.” -Hebrews 11:3 The Concordant Literal New Testament states, “…so that what is being observed has not come out
of what is appearing.” (What is visible). This is a statement that could have been
made by a physicist! What makes it appear? You, the observer, with faith that gives
substance to your hopes and dreams. Faith observes that which “is not,” and gives it substance so that it may appear and become visible. The key to manifesting matter, is to interact with that which “is not” so that it becomes what you hope for. Your expectations and beliefs (or what you observe) is of primary
importance. If you observe and expect
failure, sickness or disaster, that is exactly what will manifest. There are an infinite number of possibilities that exist for you
life. You alone have the power to
choose which possibility becomes reality in your life. Choose wisely. Faith
Language and Quantum Theory The way things work in quantum theory is so weird and bizarre that
we really don’t have the language to describe it. This is one of the reasons that most people
have no interest in quantum physics.
It simply isn’t understandable to most people. If I could show you and example of subatomic behavior in this macro
world where we live, you would be able to grasp the idea. But sometimes the quantum micro world seems
upside down and backwards from what we observe everyday in the natural
(macro) world. As I studies quantum physics, it sounded very familiar to me. It sounded like “faith language.” All I had been thought over the years about
faith and confession suddenly sounded scientifically possible. All the things I accepted on faith because
Jesus taught them, now sounded as if Jesus was speaking the language of
quantum principles. After all, just how bizarre is it to say that words can
move mountains? In order to believe the words of Jesus, it is necessary to let go of
old ideas and open yourself to new ones.
You let go of your beliefs in the way you think things work and accept
a new set of beliefs. The principles
of faith and confession that Jesus taught seem like nonsense when seen from a
worldly point of view, but Jesus said that we are not of this world. We are in the world, but not of it (John
17:16). We operate in a different set
of laws which Jesus called the laws of the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is the realm where God
lives. Different
Realm, Different Rules The laws of the kingdom of God defy explanation. That is because they do not operate
strictly in the material, physical level, but on a higher overriding
principle that is the basis of creation.
Genesis chapter 1 tells us that God spoke the unseen into existence by
His Word. Words are unseen vibrations
that obviously have an effect on manifesting or changing matter. You may have already experienced these laws that defy
explanation. Have you ever planted a
financial seed in faith? How is it
possible that a person can give away $10.00 and be $100.00 or $1000.00
richer? (Luke 6:38). There is no mathematical explanation as to
how this principle works. Giving away
dollar bills does not make them multiply. And if it did, it would multiply in
the receiver’s hand, not in the giver’s hand.
Yet this is exactly how Jesus taught that the principles of the
kingdom of God operated. The classic laws of physics, specifically gravity says that a 180
pound man cannot walk on top of a surface of water without sinking. So Jesus must have known about a law that
supersedes the law of gravity. Current medical science says that lepers and cripples cannot be
healed and restored to perfect health in seconds or minutes. It takes time. Did Jesus bypass time? Scientists and even small children know that solid matter cannot pass
through walls. Jesus assumed a form
that walked through a wall. Did he
transform his physical matter into energy that passes through matter like
radio waves though the walls of you home? These behaviors were so strange that many people choose to believe
that they did not happen, because it is not possible in the physical, macro
world where we live. Physical laws we take for granted were superceded by the person of
Jesus Christ and can be superceded by those who accept the principles of the
kingdom of God. “…He that believeth on me, the works that I do
shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto
my Father.” -John
14:12 By comparing quantum physics with spiritual laws, I want to present
you a different way of thinking, and by doing so open a whole new avenue and
understanding of the faith that moves mountains. Faith
Energy Faith is an unseen energy force.
It is not matter, but it creates matter and actually becomes
matter. The faith that you use to call
forth the manifestation of healing or finances changes form when the
manifestation; takes place. That is
because faith-energized words convert energy to matter. Words are the catalyst that turns the
substance of faith into physical manifestation. Faith is the raw material from which all
matter is made. Hebrews 11:1 states
that “faith is the
substance…” It is the invisible
substance from which your physical world was and is created. God used faith-substance and word-energy to create the
universe. He spoke and the vibration
(sound) of His words released the substance that became the stars and
planets. Words are the carrier of substance.
They carry the substance to wherever it is directed. If you direct your faith toward your bank
account with the intention of filling it to overflowing, then your
word-energy vibrations causes your bank account to become a magnet for the
substance of money. Money (substance) will begin to come to you through a
variety of different places. If you direct your faith to the healing of your body, then your
words carry healing energy to the cellular level of your body. On the vibrations of your words,
faith-substance is carried to your body where it becomes healing-substance. Just as God created the universe by faith-substance and word-energy,
you create your own universe by your faith and your words. If you don’t like what you have created,
you can change it! Everything is Connected In quantum mechanics, the observation of something changes it. You can never really be sure if it even
existed before you looked. Because you
looked, you actually interfered with whatever was before you looked. If this sounds confusing, it really isn’t.
It just means that we affect everything around us just by how we see it or
what we believe. Jesus said to the
centurion in Matthew chapter 8, “…as
you have believed so be it done unto thee.” It’s a good thing
he believed his servant was healed!
Our perceptions return to us exactly what we perceive. How you interact with this quantum field of possibilities, the
unseen realm form which all is created, determines what manifests in you
life. We have been given an empty
slate and Jesus said it is up to us what we choose to put on it (Mark
11:23-24, Matthew 9:23). With the disciples, Jesus used farming to illustrate His point. Whatever you sow, that you will reap. If you sow corn, you reap corn. However, if you choose to sow weeds, you
will reap weeds. We have been programmed in this world to sow the wrong kind of seed
and then wonder what happened.
Everything has become separate and disconnected, but quantum physics
brings us again to the reality that Jesus taught that all things are
interconnected. God is not up in
heaven sitting on his throne sowing seeds and making choices for us that may
be bad or good! We are sowing our own
seeds and making our own choices for good or evil. “I call heaven and earth to
record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death,
blessing and cursing: therefore choose life that both thou and thy seed may
live.” -Deut.
30:19 “Death and life are in the
power of the tongue.” -Proverbs
18:21 We make the choices. What you
do and believe affects everyone and everything around you. In way, you actually create your own
reality. Your perception of life becomes your life. That is why it is so important to change your perceptions, beliefs
and expectations so that they agree with the abundant life that has been
provided. Are you perceiving and
believing in the blessings or curses? Identifying
Limiting Thoughts and Beliefs In order for your circumstances to change or any “thing” in your life to change, first consider the controlling beliefs in your life. Your heart and your words must agree to produce the kind of mountain moving words Jesus said we could have. “…but shall believe that those
things which he saith shall come to pass…” -Mark
11:23 Do you sincerely hold the belief that your words can change, demolish, or heal that which exists, and create that which does not exist? If you don’t believe that you are as powerful as Jesus said, then
why not? Is it because you feel
unworthy, less than, or inferior?
Where did this belief come from?
Your peers, parents, siblings? If you hold negative thoughts and beliefs, then they must be
uncovered and your beliefs must change.
Until your hidden beliefs that control your life are uncovered, you
will not be able to operate in the kind of power Jesus said we have. What you belie in your heart is the controlling force of your
life. You are either controlled by
faith or fear. It’s fairly easy to identify negative, limiting thoughts and
beliefs. They bring fear. They make you feel bad. They manifest in your life as hopelessness, and expectations of sickness, poverty, failure and defeat. They make you feel stuck. Speaking energizing, life-giving words of power can reprogram your
beliefs. Speak only what agrees with
who Christ says you are and the old belief system that has dominated you can
be eliminated. Remember, what is seen is created from what is unseen. Your outward circumstances are a reflection
of your beliefs. Before your
circumstances can change, you must allow change in you. To speak to the mountain and have it removed,
you must believe those things you say will come to pass. Hearing yourself speak (confess) what God
has said about you, puts faith in your heart and changes your perceptions and
interactions with the world around you. Confess
Who You Are in Christ These
confessions when spoken aloud will cause the energy of faith to rise to
new levels in your heart. You will be
quickened to operate in a higher level of faith and expectation. (This link requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) Unlimited Possibilities By taking these

Component Authors of the Bible
knew that “science” is the study of the cursed world, and disregards the
invisible spirit dimension in its investigation. At last, in November of
2008, scientist and neurosurgeon, Dr. Eben
Alexander discovered that: “In my past view, spiritual wasn't a word that I would
have employed during a scientific conversation. Now I believe it is a word
that we cannot afford to leave out. Far from being an unimportant by‑product
of physical processes (as I had thought before my discovery), our spirit
component is not only very real—it’s actually more real than the physical component, and most likely the basis
of it all. The physical side … is as a speck of dust compared to the
invisible and spiritual part.”
