Hhhmm… Could this be another wild goose chase? Undoubtedly, little old Ben truly loves the golden eggs but he does not like feeding the goose that lays the golden eggs. This simply implies that Ben cannot keep the goose that lays the golden eggs until he first learns how to feed and take good care of the goose. I guess little old Ben deserves another chance to put a smile on his grumpy face after reading this blog post concerning the photoelectric phenomenon and the seed faith principle!
The phrase “input results into output” echoes the natural law of sowing and reaping, which is one of the fundamental principles of the Bible. Seed time must always precede harvest (Gen. 8:22; 1Cor.15:37-38).
The input may not necessarily commensurate with output but no matter how insignificant, there has to be an input before there can be an output. As long as it bears the right quality, an insignificant input that is as tiny as the mustard seed is capable of producing an output in form of a giant tree. This is the foundation of the biblical principle concerning the transfer of energy with a seed faith in order to initiate a greater release of supernatural energy. The discovery of the scientific parallel of this biblical principle of faith energy transfer is the basis of the photoelectric phenomenon, which earned Albert Einstein the Nobel Price of physics in 1921 and not for his famous theory of relativity.
Some of my previous blogposts already explained how a quantum of electromagnetic energy that is released from natural light is called a photon just as the quantum of supernatural energy that goes out of the light of the knowledge of God’s word is called faith. As the evidence of the unseen before it was formed, a photon is a substance of light that has no mass just as faith is the unseen substance from the light of God’s word that formed all things. Now, let’s first consider a scientific example of the photoelectric effect before considering its biblical parallel in form of the seed faith principle.
Photon-Electron Effect (Photo-Electric)
Generally, photoelectric phenomena involve the transfer of photon energy at a certain threshold frequency in order to initiate a greater release of energy through an electron. This scientific phenomenon is exactly parallel to scriptural principles of how the energy of faith is transferred at certain fervency in order to initiate a greater release of energy through the Spirit of God. This greater release of energy is emitted to a person due to acceptance of his faith that has attained the required threshold fervency.
The most common scientific illustration of the parallel photoelectric phenomenon is to shine light with photon energy above a certain threshold frequency on a material such as a metal. Provided that the photon energy of the incoming light is above a required threshold frequency, electrons will be emitted from the metal even if the light source is not intense.
In all photoelectric phenomena, the minimum photon energy that is required to move an electron from an atom under normal circumstances must at least possess enough heat or fervency that would excite the atom to release its electron. In the same parallel, the minimum threshold of faith required to move the energy of the Spirit from God must at least possess enough fervency that excites or pleases God under normal circumstances.
‘But without faith, it is impossible to please (God) him; for he that must come to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.’ (Hebrew 11:6)
With reference to the scriptures, it is impossible to move the supernatural energy of the Spirit from God without attaining the minimum threshold of the fervency of faith energy required to please God. Similarly, it is impossible to move energy through an electron that is bound to its atomic nucleus without attaining the required minimum threshold frequency of photon energy that is required to excite the atom.
In many circumstances, the threshold of the minimum photon energy that is required to excite an atom to release an electron must at least exceed the electron’s rest or natural frequency. This rest frequency refers to the rest energy state or ‘ground’ state of the electron, which ranges from radio wave to the natural threshold frequency of the infrared wave. This implies that the visible light photon energy that is above the natural frequency of the infrared is the minimum photon energy that is required to excite the atom of most materials before an electron is emitted. When the atom of the metal absorbs photon energy at this visible light frequency, it excites an electron of the metal to a higher level above its rest frequency. If this energy is high enough, it would cause the electron to be released from the positive pull of the atomic nucleus and be liberated from the atom in a phenomenon known as photo ionization.
In the example of a spiritual parallel, the book of Genesis reveals how Cain was unable to move the Spirit of God to bless the work of his hand and protect him from the spiritual dominion of sin. This was simply because Cain’s fervency or effort of faith (spiritual photon energy) did not attain the required minimum threshold fervency. On the other hand, the effort of Abel his younger was commended for achieving the threshold fervency of faith required to excite God such that Abel was able to move the Spirit of God to bless him.
‘By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaks.’ (Hebrew 11:4)
In the scriptural context above, both brothers already had some spiritual understanding concerning the threshold or minimum fervency of faith required to please God based on the revelation knowledge in their conscience. This minimum effort of faith required both brothers to seek the LORD diligently with their heart. In their exercise of faith, the diligence in Abel’s faith met the required threshold fervency. Therefore, the fervency of Abel’s effort of faith easily excited God such that he succeeded in moving the Spirit of God to bless him. On the contrary, the negligence in Cain’s effort of faith did not please God because it did not meet the minimum threshold fervency. Therefore, Cain’s effort was rejected.
‘And in the process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.’ (Genesis 4 3-5)
As revealed in the context above, God could not accept Cain’s effort of faith because it was below the minimum threshold fervency of faith required. In the parallel principle of the photoelectric effect, the photon energy or its faith energy equivalent cannot be partially accepted but it must either be fully accepted or rejected. All the energy from one photon of light must be completely absorbed before a greater release of energy through an electron can be liberated from the atom and the remaining energy is used as the electron’s kinetic energy, as a free particle.
THRESHOLD Of PHOTON ENERGY REQUIRED (QUALITY AND NOT QUANTITY)
In the photoelectric phenomenon, the minimum threshold frequency of photon energy that is required to be absorbed in order to cause a release of electron is called work function (w). This work function is determined by the atom of the material that would release the electron.
As long as a photon has an energy that is at least equal to the work function, the photon energy will be transferred and absorbed by the atom of the metal, which would result in a release of an electron. If the photon energy is much higher than the required minimum threshold frequency, it will move an electron much faster than a photon that is just at the required minimum threshold frequency. For instance, electrons in conducting materials known as electrodes absorb energy and create electric sparks faster and much more easily when illuminated with photon energy of ultraviolet lights in comparison with visible light photon energy.
However, if the photon energy is less than the required minimum threshold frequency of work function, the atom will not liberate an electron from the atom of the metal. In the scriptural example of the two brothers, the effort of Cain’s faith was lower than the work function or the required minimum fervency of faith. As a result, it was not possible for the Spirit of God to absorb Cain’s effort. Therefore, Cain was advised to apply due diligence that would step up his faith to the required threshold fervency so that he could also obtain the release of the spiritual energy that would protect him from the dominion of sin.
‘And the LORD said unto Cain, Why are thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou does well, shall thou not be accepted? and if thou does not well, sin lies at the door: and unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shall rule over him.’ (Genesis 4:6-7)
With reference to the scriptures, it is evident that it was not the quantity of Cain’s effort that was important but the quality of his effort. In the same parallel, it is not the quantity of photons but the quality of the frequency.
For example, a low frequency light would not cause an electron to be emitted even if the intensity is high but a high frequency would cause the release of an electron even if the intensity were low.
From scientific experiments, an increase in the intensity of incoming light beam on a body would only increase the number of incoming light photons but it does not necessarily increase the frequency of the individual photon energy. On the other hand, the energy required to liberate an electron from the metal does not depend on the number of photons but the frequency of the energy in the individual photon.
Even if the intensity of the incoming light were increased, as long as the photon energy of the incoming light is below the required threshold frequency, it would not be able to move an electron from the atom.
The above scientific example of photoelectric effect is parallel to the spiritual principle, which explains that it is not the amount of faith that is important to liberate spiritual energy from God but the quality of faith even if it is as tiny as a mustard seed. For example, in the seventeenth chapter of Matthew, the Lord Jesus revealed to his disciples that the reason they could not heal an epileptic boy was because of the littleness of their faith. Subsequently, he explained in the twentieth verse that it was possible to move mountains even if their faith was as tiny as a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20).
This biblical reference to the mustard seed is always used as an analogy of the tiniest conceivable particle because the mustard seed was considered as the smallest of all seeds. Oftentimes, the emphasis of the Lord Jesus for rebuking his disciples for the littleness of their faith was because of the quality of their faith and not the quantity. Even if the quantity is the just the size of the tiniest conceivable particle such as the tiny mustard seed, it would still liberate spiritual energy as long as it bears the quality of the God kind of faith. This God kind of faith corresponds to the highest frequency of photon energy, which is the gamma ray photon that symbolizes the highest expression of faith energy in the word of God that bears God’s full nature. The gamma ray photon is the highest frequency of photon energy and the electron of any material easily absorbs it. Therefore, the gamma ray photon would always move an electron from its tightly bound orbit of the positive pull of the nucleus in the atom of any material. Thereafter, the atom that gives away its electron becomes charged or ionized.
In the photoelectric phenomenon, any photon with an energy frequency below the required minimum threshold frequency can increase its fervency by absorbing heat and would change to a higher frequency of photon energy. Therefore, it is possible for a photon to change from a lower energy frequency to a higher frequency of photon energy by absorbing energy in form of heat. In the same parallel, a person’s measure of faith can increase to a higher level through fervent devotion and trust in God. Conversely, a person’s faith can also drop from a higher to a lower level of fervency if he allows doubts and unbelief to erode the fervency of his devotion and trust in God. This can be understood from a photon that loses some of its frequency through heat loss and drops to a lower frequency that is below the minimum threshold required.
‘And immediately, Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore did thou doubt?’ (Matthew 14:3)
According to the scriptures, there is already an amount of spiritual photon or faith energy in all creatures that can be developed to the right energy frequency so that it is capable of initiating the release of a greater amount of spiritual energy whenever it is required. Therefore, you only need the work out the required fervency of the spiritual photon energy of your human faith in order to move the energy of the Spirit of God to release something you desire.
One of the best scriptural examples of this photoelectric phenomenon was the story of a woman that worked out her human faith energy to the right fervency. As a result, she was able to move the energy of the Spirit from the Lord Jesus Christ, which brought a miraculous healing of the woman’s infirmity. Immediately after spiritual energy was ejected from the body of the Lord by the woman’s faith, the Lord Jesus felt a spiritual ionization within him and asked, ‘Who touched me?’
‘And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. And Jesus said, Who touched me?
When all denied , Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and says thou, Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.’ (Luke 8: 43- 46)
As earlier explained, the photoelectric phenomenon occurs whenever a photon above a certain threshold frequency has the required energy to eject an electron from a body exposed to its electromagnetic radiation. This causes a transition to a lower state of energy in the body that emits the electron while the body that absorbs the electron moves to a higher state of energy. As revealed in the biblical example above, the woman exercising faith only secretly touched the hem of the Master’s garment in the midst of a multitude of so many people pressing on the Lord Jesus for attention. However, she did not make any physical contact with the body of the Lord Jesus yet the impact of her faith was felt like the impact from the momentum of a photon that knocks out an electron from a body.
Suddenly, the Lord Jesus felt the momentum of this woman’s faith and exclaimed that someone had touched him despite the fact that the woman did not touch him physically. Considering the circumstances, the disciples of the Lord Jesus were surprised when he exclaimed that somebody had touched him considering the multitude of so many people pressing on him for attention.
‘And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and says thou, Who touched me?
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. ‘(Luke 8: 45-46)
Photons are invisible force carriers that transfer energy and can eject an electron from a body just like faith energy. As a parallel of faith energy, photons are invisible energy particles that have zero mass yet they do have momentum that can cause an impact. Evidence of this momentum can be observed in what is scientifically known as Compton Effect.
In the same manner, the impact or momentum of the photon energy released through the faith of the woman with the issue of blood ejected a spiritual electron from the Lord, which brought her miraculous healing.
“And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith has made thee whole; go in peace.” (Luke 8: 47-48)
Further to the scriptural contexts above, the quantum or faith energy that was used to move the energy of the Spirit from the Lord Jesus was the woman’s belief and confession (spoken words), which brought her miraculous healing. Belief of faith is an important factor that determines the action of a person’s subconscious mind. This woman’s energy of faith was set in motion simply by believing and confessing her belief, which moved the desired energy of the Spirit from the body of the Lord Jesus. This illustration reveals how the Light of the world can also be quantized just like natural light.
‘When she heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch his clothes, I shall be made whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? ’ (Mark 5: 28-30)
As revealed above, a quantum of spiritual energy of faith was induced by affirmation of instructions to the woman’s subconscious mind until it became a reality. Likewise, it is through the affirmation of God’s spoken word that he releases the supernatural energy of his own faith before it becomes a reality.
‘For I the LORD shall speak, and whatsoever word I speak will be performed.’ (Ezekiel 12:25)
Every man that was created in the image and likeness of God also has this ability to release supernatural energy of faith by his spoken word or confession just as God does.
“We have the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken: we also believe, and therefore speak;” (2Corinthians 4:13).
