The Lord whispered instruction to Beth to put His "Sermon on the Mount" of Matthew 5-7  TO MUSIC, And said to her "My people need to hear MY WORDS, not JUST words!"

The Lord Jesus also said in John 6:63: "THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK TO YOU, THEY are SPIRIT and THEY are LIFE! 

Don't listen to this CD as if listening to "Beth" or "the music" . Please LISTEN to "Christ's Message" IN the music.  BE OPEN TO CHRIST.

As you would look "into a mirror" and reflect back "Your image" , Look "into these words" of Christ's that HE may reflect back "His image" in your life. Let His SPIRIT and LIFE be within YOU!
