A TESTIMONY OF HEALING AND DELIVERANCE

 

 

Shalom Chazzan Brian,

 

It is with set-apart joy that I write to you today to share what YHWH has done for me lately through your music.  First and

foremost, may YHWH be praised and honored all the time.  Recently I went through an experience I don’t want to repeat; I had

sinned against Abba YHWH, against the synagogue where I serve, and many brothers and sisters.  Our Rabbi told me to stay out

 of“the camp” for a period of time, in which I was to have no contact with anyone from the assembly, nor any of them could

contact me; at first this was hard to take, but soon I realized the purpose of such action, and that was to isolate myself with

Abba YHWH, to seek His face for forgiveness and healing and to be restored back to His kingdom .  I began to play your music,

 and the song “Abba Father” which is inspired by Tehillim/Psalm 51. It began to minister to me, It made me see the seriousness

 and depth of my actions; as the days went by I could feel a cleansing away taking place within me as I played your music every

 morning straight out of bed and on to my knees for an hour, sometimes two.  You could get tired from  listening to the same

 songs day after day, but you could never get tired of the anointing; and that’s precisely what your songs are, anointed; I’d say

through them I was able to enter into a one on one intimacy with Abba YHWH that I have never experienced before, the end-

result being falling in love with my Heavenly Father and my Creator again.

Todah rabah for your faithfulness into the calling of your life and let His Ruach HaKodesh guide through it.

I just want to thank you so much for the CDs. Everyday I listen to "Gates of Zion" and "Enter His Gates" . I can't tell you how much I appreciate your music!

Everyday I listen to it and everyday I have a 'favorite' song!
Today it is the Aaronic Blessing! Thank you thank you for making Yahuehs music for the scattered sheep of Yisrael!

Again I say Baruch HaShem Yahueh for this music that soothes the soul and uplifts the spirit!

Brian... has taken a number of Scripture passages, and put them to soft, invigorating music.  My favorite is Track #3, "The Blessing," which is essentially the Birkhat Kohenim (the Ahronic Benediction / The High Priestly Blessing), straight out of Numbers 6:24-27.

......a favorite album of Brian's continues to be his outstanding piano solo album, "Enter His Gates" (which is actually my favorite album of all time, bar none; and whom I recommend to everyone), which is also available by writing to Brian) ..... If you like vocals rather than piano solo, The Gates of Tzion may just be the album you have been waiting for............................

Brother Brian,

 Let me just say, "Todah Rabah !" for your CD's. Ruth and I have enjoyed them
and been so incredibly blessed. In fact, I loaded the Solo Piano cds on my computer at work and enjoy and am inspired by them throughout my day.
Several of my co-workers heard them and asked for them....

Now, almost the whole office, 28 people, are being blessed and their spirits "fed" and bathed in praise and worship, whether they realize it, or not!

Baruch HaShem Yahweh !
I can't wait for more Brother.

Our Love & Yahweh's Blessings To You
B'Shem Yahshua HaMoshiach,

 Shalom Chazzun Brian,

Your cds are set apart and gorgeous....
 
Actually this is long overdue since I have been immersed in your beautiful.. music for

so many months now, that I cannot imagine a time without it.  The fact that I have 3 of these discs sometimes means that I forget

 how rare and special this music is.  Put  simply, thre is nothing else like it.  I can remember, back in 2001, going

to teach in Seattle and the music they had was Messianic and it was Yisraelite, but it did not use True Names. It was not until I

got your CDs that I realized how important, how utterly critical, it is proclaim the name of YHWH and lift up our Creator in

song.  Don't get me wrong, I knew this  concept well Scripturally 20 years ago, but how many of us have actually sought out the

kosher products that allow us to do this through our minds, in print and in song?  This music does that, and turns back the

numbing secular anti-nomian drumbeat that forms the soundtrack of the world right now.  It binds us, and snaps us into a vibe

where we feel the praise in the Holy Language to the One who made that Holy Language.

The influences I hear are manifold, everything from Yiddish folk to adapted synagogue liturgy-chant, to jazz and rock.  Pulling

out a particular piece is a bit hard, given so many favorites, but I think it is safe to say that a real classic is "Shema", with a

melody that will be both sacred and highly listenable.  Whether it is "Gates of Zion" or "Enter His Gates" , whether

instrumental  piano or vocal and ensemble accompanyment, this music will uplift any Yisraleite who cares to hear it.  The

themes... catch phrases like "by the blood and the power of the Ruach Ha Kodesh...create in me a kosher heart" are powerful

reminders of our united heritage and the need to set ourselves apart form the world. I'm also a big fan of "Revelation 22:14",

Through the Gates (an extended middle eastern-meditteranean instrumental).

Finally, I want everyone to know that I not only appreciate this music as a Nazarene but as a musician as well.  I can attest to the

terrific arrangements and consistently high quality multi-track recording techniques, very much along the lines of what I have

done myself back in the day.  The mixing is both lush and tight and the overall sound is smooth and easy.  I cannot believe that

 Chazzun Brian is able to produce and turn out as many great albums as he does, but there they are, helping all to understand

YHWH's great plan for mankind.

Best thing also to do in my opinion:  Put the music on in the background
while you study the RESTORATION SCRIPTURES!

"Like water from the springs of salvation on the dry ground, the CD by Chazzan/Cantor Brian Samtur and The We Are Yisrael Worship Experience Gates of Tzion Vol. 1" is a blessing long prayed for by those of us within the messianic community of faith. To play this CD each Shabbat is to step into the very gates of Tzion, to enter into joyful worship of our heavenly Father YAHWEH in ruach v'emet, in spirit and in truth through His Son Yahshua haMashiach. Rich in melodic and harmonic content, overflowing with spirit-filled keyboard improvisation, and blending both traditional and modern musical themes, this CD captures the necessary reverential qualities from the scriptures while providing a pallette of sound covering middle eastern, contemporary, with even a hint of liturgical. The very seder (order) of the musical selections serves to transport the listener to within the gates of the holy city Yerushalayim.

Selections range from stand-alone instant classics like The Torah Walk, Now Is The Time (Ashav Hazman) and 12 gates/Teshuvah to masterfully arranged medleys that will keep every Yisraelite dancing in simchah (joy).  Beyond serving as a beautiful praise and worship offering for Shabbat, you will want to keep on playing this CD the other six days during the working week as well! The true test of any musical offering is whether or not a listener wants to keep playing it. As a composer and lyricist myself I can attest that this is one praise and worship offering that I return to again and again. "Gates of Tzion Vol. 1"
is a labor of love from Cantor Samtur to our heavenly Father YAHWEH through His Son Yahshua HaMashiach for YAHWEH's people Yisrael.

Now is the time to order a copy for yourself, your mishpacah (family) and chaverim (friends)! Shalom!"
