Teacher: Apostle Andrew — I am here, Andrew, the Apostle. Brothers and sisters, how we love to see you come together, united in the love of God. I was an early follower of John, known as the Baptist, who introduced me to Master Jesus, and subsequently, I introduced my brother Simon, Simon Peter. And you know some of the story of us walking with the Master and some of the corrections that have been made, but there are deep truths, and I think one gets a sense, hopefully, when in prayer, of being fearless of being able to walk in faith. For many of us, this change happened at Pentecost, where we went from our own limited understanding of the teachings of Jesus and the path to God to really being changed, to being able to connect with God through His holy spirit in our walk, and walk we did to many places. We didn’t look at it as what you might call proselytizing, but simply awakening the world to the love of God, to the great truth of being able to be born again.

Teacher: Hazrat Inayat Khan —
I come in the grace of God with a song in my heart and the Divine Love in my soul. I am Hazrat Inayat Khan.

It is written that in the beginning was the word and from that all creation began. In the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita, which means the Song of God, it is the sound and the song and the vibration that is the creative force. When Master Jesus healed his soul burning with the love of God, those words, their vibration, enabled the recipient to feel the healing force of God’s love and it brought faith and changed the lives of each one. I was a musician and a Sufi, and I brought Sufism to the West with music and poetry and my writings all about how to connect with God, to feel the Presence of God and to be open to it. This is the power of sound, the magnificence of song.
