SINGchronicity
There’s a side effect of being a songwriter who likes to repurpose furniture. I call it Word Repurposing. You’re seeing it in the title of this blog!
Here’s how it happens: I see a word like synchronicity.
In my mind, I see this word collide with the word sing.
A language mashup makeover occurs:
synchronicity + sing = repurposed word: SINGchronicity
There’s a purpose for the repurpose. There’s meaning in the merge. What’s the meaning of this one?
When I gave my voice to God, He brought it into SINGchronicity with how He wants it to be used.
Since I made a commitment to “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33), I’ve been boldly putting my Faith Forward. First and foremost FOR-His-WORD — out there in the open for all to see and hear. In deeper relationship with Him, I’ve been experiencing a kind of ‘faith frequency level’ I’ve never felt before. I can only describe it as a feeling like…
Words in Motion.
The words “on earth as it is in heaven” which Jesus taught us to pray in The Lord’s Prayer (see Matthew 6:9-13), now have a new, super-charged meaning for me. Heaven is actually coming to earth… in my thoughts; in my voice; in my words (both written and spoken); and… in my daily life. It’s like I’m dialed in to God’s radio signal!
Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of days when life is no cake walk on Cloud 9. But whenever I’m dealing with something that’s not-so-heavenly, it’s now my normal to invite heaven into the situation, with words I speak aloud.
A fly on the wall of my house (or car while I’m driving) might hear me speaking things aloud such as:
[To cold symptoms I might feel coming on]: “On earth as it is in heaven. There is NO SICKNESS in heaven! Cold symptoms, you are not welcome in this body, you must leave now!”
[To worry or anxiety I’m feeling about something]: “On earth as it is in heaven. There is NO WORRY OR ANXIETY in heaven! Worry / Anxiety, you must go because I place my hope and my trust in my Father who is in heaven! He is handling this situation because I’ve asked Him to!”
[To financial burden / money problems]: “On earth as it is in heaven. There is NO LACK in heaven, only abundance! Thank You, God, for prospering the work of my hands and the ideas You bring into my mind. Thank You for Your abundant provision!”
Why do I do this? I’ve learned there’s “death and life in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21) , meaning, what I speak aloud actually carries a frequency….a power like an electrical current… of either life or death! It’s my choice which frequency I choose, which word I wield.
The result? Heavy doesn’t feel so heavy anymore, because I’ve invited heaven into the heaviness. And the frequency (how often I choose to speak one or the other) of “the frequency” (sound waves), actually impacts the frequency-of-frequencies in my earthly reality! The more I speak life, the more life I have to speak of. Wow! Or more accurately, POW! The Power of Words (P.O.W.) really do pack a lot of POWer!
I’m now using my voice in new ways even beyond singing. This blog isn’t merely a language mashup makeover of two words from Webster’s dictionary. It merges with my music, too!
