Music

I began playing the piano/keyboard at a very young age, because my family was involved in the music ministry at my local church. Since those early days, the Lord has afforded me the opportunity to bring others into a greater level of abandonment to Jesus through my music.

The worship around God's throne in the heavens is musical, which makes music one of the premier vehicles by which we may be enraptured in His praise as the angels are. In light of that truth, I believe the Lord is calling forth more than ordinary Sunday morning church musicians and Christian performers all across the earth today. He’s inviting musicians to give themselves to Him in ways of unusual dedication, consecration, humility, and holiness in order that the testimony of Christ may be known through their music in a greater way. These are more than just musicians that are Christians – they are prophetic musicians that exalt the supremacy of Christ and play melodies and songs that carry weight and power from God to help bring others into abandonment to Jesus and prepare humanity for the day of the LORD.

The term “prophetic musician” is simply an easy way I’m using of describing someone operating in prophecy and musicianship – combining the testimony of Jesus with music. Just as a preacher or teacher can operate in the spirit of prophecy with their words, musicians can also operate in the spirit of prophecy. Through music, they draw others out of self-obsession and into Divine glorification. I believe music speaks a language that transcends spoken words. A Frenchman who does not understand Spanish cannot understand the Spaniard when they speak, but the Frenchman can feel emotion and be moved by the melody of a piece of music played by the Spaniard. The melody or song played by a musician has the ability to be prophetic, or put more simply, to be a testimony to the love, power, and heart emotions of Jesus Christ.
