Frequency Thursday: Love in the Lions’ Den - Tuning Into God’s Voice When Everyone Else Is Gagged

Some seasons feel like living in a modern lions’ den - surrounded by curated chaos, half‑truths, and friends too scared to speak. This Frequency Thursday is about tuning into God’s voice above the noise, staying in the frequency of love, and trusting that He still shuts lions’ mouths

Opening Whisper
I would rather look like a fool for love than become fluent in fear.
If staying open costs me my image, I pray it never costs me my blessing.

Beautiful souls,

Some weeks, Frequency Thursday sounds like soft piano and candlelight.
This week, it sounds like Love in the lions’ den.

Because tuning into God’s voice amid life’s noise is one thing.
Tuning into God’s voice when every other voice around you is intentionally confusing the frequency?
That’s a different kind of spiritual warfare.

Love is a frequency, not a fairytale

Let’s tell the truth:

If it is love you’re truly after - not attention, not convenience, not a trauma‑bond, but real, aligned, God‑ordained love -
you will be asked to stay soft in rooms that reward hardness.

You will be asked to keep your heart open even after the rug gets pulled out from under you on purpose.
You will be asked to risk “looking crazy” for believing what you heard in your spirit when the facts didn’t add up yet.

That’s the pain I’ve been sitting with:

  • The pain of knowing Truth but still having to keep the Faith.
  • The pain of feeling the connection between the King and the Queen while watching people move pieces behind the scenes to keep us apart.
  • The pain of realizing the chaos near my desk wasn’t random - it was curated.

Love is a frequency that calls you higher, not a spell that keeps you stupid.
Even in healing, even after betrayal, I refuse to live with my heart closed.
I’d rather look like a fool and be honest than miss the blessing because I was too scared to speak up.

Tampa felt like Daniel in the lions’ den

There was a season - Tampa, FL - where my life felt like Daniel 6 in real time. (07/20/2025 (start of blog) - 12/04/2025 (had to step away because I watched the world change in front of my face while everyone around me pretended to be normal - in my opinion)

Not metaphorically.
Practically.

Between October 1st and December 4th, the energy was intense.
I felt like I was transmuting fear, confusion, and chaos from the moment I got in to the moment I drove away - all the while purposely having to stay away from people due to perception - the cameras where always rolling.

  • Friends who were brave off the record went quiet in front of certain people.
  • Conversations that started in truth ended in “Let’s not stir the pot.”
  • Questions that deserved clear answers got rerouted into deflection and guilt.

I was not just managing my tasks.
I was managing the emotional temperature of the entire floor.

And in the middle of that, God kept whispering:

“Stay soft. Stay honest. Stay tuned to Me.”

Daniel knew that feeling.

“Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
Daniel 6:16 KJV

Daniel didn’t end up in the lions’ den because he was wrong.
He ended up there because he stayed faithful in a system that hated his loyalty to God.

That’s what Tampa felt like towards the end.
Not just a stressful job.
A coordinated attempt to trap my spirit, my friendships, and my sense of reality.

Designed for maximum chaos

Looking back, it feels like the whole setup was designed for maximum chaos:

  • Keep everyone a little scared.
  • Keep policies and expectations just vague enough to be weaponized.
  • Keep relationships warm enough that you doubt your own discernment when something feels off.
  • Keep every person thinking they’re the only one seeing it.

It is a tough pill to swallow when you feel, deep in your heart, that all your friendships are targeted.
When every attempt to reach for clarity gets met with “You’re overthinking,” “Just trust the process,” or worse, silence.

I didn’t need gossip.
I didn’t need a 200‑page dossier.
I just needed a little bit of truth from the people around me so I could fully wake up, be aimed in the right direction, and put the puzzle together.

Instead, I felt pushed into intentional confusion.
Not by one person, but by a culture of:

  • Look busy.
  • Say nothing.
  • Protect the machine at all costs.

I kept thinking about the friends around me - the ones who were scared shtless* but still trying to keep their jobs, their sanity, and their faith intact.

At some point, I realized:
This isn’t just about me.
This frequency is hitting all of us.

And that’s when Frequency Thursday kicks in:

If everyone else is tuned to survival, fear, and self‑protection, someone has to hold the channel of Love, Truth, and God’s voice.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
John 10:27 KJV

God’s voice doesn’t sound like manipulation.
It doesn’t sound like pressure.
It doesn’t need you to abandon your own sanity to belong.

The pain of knowing and still staying open

Here’s the hardest part:

When you finally realize people have been moving against you -
when the spell breaks and the patterns click into place -
your first instinct is to shut everything down.

Shut your heart.
Shut your mouth.
Shut your hope for real love or real friendship ever again.

That’s one option.
But it’s not the frequency I’m choosing.

Love asks something harder:
Stay open without staying blind.

  • Keep your heart soft, but your eyes clear.
  • Keep believing in love, but stop agreeing to chaos.

Keep listening to God’s whisper, even when human voices have proven unreliable.

“Be still, and know that I am God…”
Psalm 46:10 KJV

Stillness doesn’t mean silence about injustice.
It means your spirit is anchored to God’s voice, not the noise of fear, gossip, and half‑truths.

I had to learn how to sit in my Tampa lions’ den with my heart open and my discernment on 10:

  • Loving people while acknowledging some of them would absolutely throw me to the lions to keep their spot.
  • Caring about friends who were too scared to tell the truth yet.
  • Refusing to become bitter, but also refusing to call confusion “loyalty.”

That balance - love without self‑betrayal - is the frequency God kept pulling me toward.

Frequency Practice: Staying in Love When the Room is Lying

Tonight’s practice is for anyone navigating their own lions’ den - at work, in family, in friendships, or even in ministry.

1. Name the den

Write down where your lions’ den is right now.

Is it:

  • an office atmosphere that thrives on fear?
  • a family system where nobody tells the whole truth?
  • a friend group that loves your light but won’t stand beside you in conflict?

Be honest on paper. God can handle specifics.

2. Ask: “What frequency is this environment tuned to?”

Without overexplaining, describe the dominant energy:

  • Fear?
  • Confusion?
  • Control?
  • Competition?
  • Love?

Then ask God, “What frequency are You inviting me to hold in this space?”

Sometimes His answer is, “Stay and hold Love.”
Sometimes His answer is, “You’re released. You can leave.”
Both are deliverance.

3. Write your lions’ den confession

Use Daniel’s story as a template.

“…So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.”
Daniel 6:23 KJV

Write your own version:

“No matter who plotted, no matter who lied, no manner of lasting harm will be found on me, because I believe in my God. My destiny is not fragile. My heart is still capable of love.”

Say it out loud until your nervous system hears it.

4. Choose one small act of open‑hearted courage

Staying in the frequency of love does not mean oversharing with unsafe people.
It means choosing one act that keeps your heart from calcifying.

That might look like:

  • Telling the truth in your journal instead of gaslighting yourself.
  • Letting God know you still desire love, even if you don’t see how it could work yet.
  • Being kind to a coworker without participating in the culture of fear.
  • Praying blessings over your friends, even if you’re not sure who’s really for you.

Pick something that keeps your heart open to God, not exposed to harm.

5. Ask God to retune your relationships

Pray:

“Lord, anything and anyone that cannot exist in the frequency of love, truth, and alignment You have for me - retune it or remove it. Protect the friendships that are from You. Expose the ones that are here for gain, not growth. Keep my heart soft, my boundaries strong, and my ears tuned to Your voice above all others.”

Then listen.
Not for thunder.
For the subtle shifts: certain calls you’re no longer drawn to, certain rooms you no longer need to explain yourself in, certain conversations where you suddenly hear the subtext clearly.

That’s God, turning down the noise.

🎧 Frequency Feature: Oceans (Where My Feet Fail)

Today’s frequency is ‘Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)’ by Hillsong UNITED because in a season that feels like lions’ dens and curated chaos, that one line - ‘I am Yours and You are mine’ - re‑tunes everything back to the only bond no workplace, plot, or betrayal can touch.

Let it play while you:

  • drive home from your own lions’ den
  • sit in the quiet after a long day of pretending you don’t notice
  • write your next baby‑step act of courage in your journal

Because here’s the truth:

You are not crazy for feeling what you feel.
You are not weak for wanting love again.
You are not foolish for having believed the best before you saw the whole board.

You are someone God protected in the middle of a curated storm.
You are someone He is still guiding by frequency - away from confusion, toward clarity; away from fear, toward love; away from noise, toward His voice.

Stay tuned in.

With love and sacred frequency,
Eugene 💘

Your Journey Starts Here

Many have asked during my TikTok Lives how to begin their personal or spiritual journey. So far, I've explored and mapped the first three stages for those seeking alignment - the awakening, the journey inward, and the path forward.

These stages have brought profound clarity, and I'm grateful to share what I've discovered along the way.

There are still a few details unfolding, but trust that everything is aligning in its own time - and you'll be the first to know when it's ready.

Remember, this is love being transmuted into art; growth takes time, and you can't rush an actual journey, beautiful souls. In due time, all the right energy falls into place. Just have faith. Hold the vision.
