Sid: We are playing selections from “Song of Angels Volume I and Volume II” by Freddy Hayler.  And Freddy tell me about that Al Qaeda terrorist that literally got saved from your music.

Freddy:  Well, I got a very strange echo call with a man with a very strong Arabic accent calling me from Afghanistan. You know it was an amazing phone call it was 2:00 in the morning 3:00 in the morning. And he was saying how he had a vision in a dream of Jesus listening to this music and he called it Jesus music.   He didn’t call it Song of Angels.  And he said “He had gotten saved and that the Lord had come to him in a vision in a dream 2 nights straight and that he had accepted Christ as his savior and his whole family.  And he explained that he was a terrorist, Al Qaeda affiliate, and he was in Afghanistan and that they were planning some attacks and he was full of love and he didn’t want to hurt anyone any longer.  And later I heard that he had snuck out of Pakistan via England; and now I hear he’s in the United States and I need to follow up on that.  But we have had a lot of testimonies like this of people from the Middle East meeting Christ through the music and God just using it as a wedge because it’s a 10/40 window and it’s a tough mission field to crack.  It’s actually death penalty to hand out Christian tracks in some of these countries and so it supersedes that and transcends that.

Sid: Now I want people to get to know you a little bit; it seems as though people that have strong calls of God on their life the devil tries to snuff their life out before they even get started.  But let me take you back to age 5; you had a reoccurring dream; what was that?

Freddy:  Yes, it seems like each night or every other night and I had a reoccurring dream of me being caught up in the stars of Heaven and seeing the multicolor stars; they were multicolored.  And I would actually see 3-dimensional notes, musical notes skipping along these stars. These beautiful sounds; theatrical sounds that sounded Heavenly to me or peaceful.  And they were just beautiful multicolored notes and stars; and it just seemed like they were from Heaven.  But I didn’t know at the time what it meant and it was just symbolism of some kind that God was giving me as a very very young person.

Sid: And I think that the devil might have heard it too because at age 11 you’re on a row boat and you’re 2 miles off shore and you fall out of the boat and your drowning. How in the world were you rescued?

Freddy:  That is probably the greatest miracle even to think about it I shudder because you know I was showing off to someone in the boat how fast I could row and I fell backwards.  And the current up there is very fast and the water is 60 degrees or below.  And so you can get hypothermia real fast. Kind of idiotically as a kid I dove off the boat to get the oars and by the time I got the oars the boat had floated far away.  And after about 10 minutes of trying to doggy paddle I just started to go under the water.  And as I started to go under the water I started to see lights and I thought; “This is it I’m dying.”  And all of a sudden I felt the pressure on my hair pulling me up. And I was pulled up to the surface by this man who came out of nowhere.  And he just dragged me to shore 2 miles in and when I got to the beach I was revived.  I went to thank the man and he looked like someone I had known before but he’d left.  And the woman were all around me and they were saying “We were praying for you, we saw you struggling we thought you drowned; the angels were with you today that must have been an angel.”  And that was all I could remember and I thought wow; maybe that was an angel but I never met him again.

Sid: I don’t know I think you might have met him again at age 15; you’re into drugs you’re a rock musician and you take an overdose and you’re driving in a car and what happened?

Freddy:  So we were going around this curve at 50 miles an hour and I was overdosed on this very powerful drug and the car door swung open and I fell out the door on to hard concrete going over 50.  And angels I knew just picked me up and prevented me from getting injured because I had no injuries but just a couple small scratches.  I actually stopped breathing as well, and then came the vision of Jesus and I was quickly resuscitated.  So you know the police and my family were surprised by it all but it was a miracle.

Sid: Tell me about the song “Holy Spirit Please Come” from your album “Song of Angels.

Freddy: Well, Jesus says in John 16 that He’s is going to give us another Comforter; you know the Paraclete the one to come along side and help us in everyday life continuously 24-7 and He’s our best friend and He’s the one that speaks Jesus and that glorifies Him. And you know it’s just a song about being filled with the Holy Spirit and being baptized in the Spirit of Elijah and the Spirit of Fire, and drawing closer to the Lord in this hour as His bride.  And it talks about purifying our hearts and how gentle He is and how He wants to fill us with His blessings, and His peace and His joy and His righteousness.

Sid: What does the pure worship that I’m hearing in your music; what does that attract from Heaven?

Freddy:  Well, I truly believe that it attracts the presence of the Holy Spirit; the presence of His angels because all the angels in Heaven praise Him.  All the stars of Heaven sing for joy and they love when you worship God it’s the highest form of intercession, Andrew Murray said and E.M. Bounds.  They said that prayer is the highest form of intercession and adoration and worship. And so if it’s the highest form of prayer, worship.  Then you’re going to be joined by the heavenly host and feel their presence. You’re going to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Sid: Do you feel the angels the angels are singing right along with your; I’m curious.

Freddy:  Yes, and when I sing I actually have heard angels sing with loud clarion voices and they’re beautiful beyond description.

Sid: Okay, from Songs of Angles. “Holy Spirit Please Come.”
