Award Winning Gospel Jazz CD
Ideal music for your personal worship time, prayer time, meditation time, or study time. This music is also ideal background music, or relaxation, healing and stress relieving music. This music was spontaneously played during my personal worship time with God, without any written music, or prior rehearsal or thought. I allowed the Holy Spirit to flow through my hands as I played this music. I pray that as you listen to this music, you will be drawn to the love of God. i pray you will experience healing from your sickness, and deliverance from anything hinders you. May you live in the freedom and abundant life God freely gives.
