Michael Jackson - (Past, Present and Future)
As I look at the news reporters, gossip columns and other "tabloids" spill their latest "news" on Michael Jackson, I have become reflective on the past, present and future.
I reflect on the Past when I first heard that sweet voice of a little boy and then saw him do his "dance". Everybody I knew back then was going to "do it" like Michael. Of course no one could match those electric steps. Later on as I saw him "evolve" into someone else, I became frightened for him, because I knew he was in a "dark room". I asked myself "who is this man listening to? and why? I began to feel very sad, because I looked deeper than the average person, even though I did not personally know him. "Out of the abundance of his heart he spoke", through his songs, lyrics and dance. I looked at his costumes and the way he began to "move" to the lyrics of his songs and saw something that frightened me. One day as I listened to one of his songs, I thought to myself, "he is crying out for someone to help him". That day back in 1993, I felt like someone very close to me had died. I could not stop crying it was like a grieving so deep that I could not do anything but sit down and allow myself to grieve. Mind you, I was never a fan of and do not have any of Michael's records. I never felt led to purchase any, even when he was a teenage idol. Why then was I grieving for this man for years?
Please follow me as I reveal my present thoughts about Michael Jackson. I reflect on the present and as I hear of the reported findings of drug use and as I look at the pictures of Michael's different features, I get this truly in-debt frightful thought that demons are real and they live in humans. It does not matter how much money you have they will take you down, if you do not have what it takes to get rid of them. Michael had real demons persecuting him most of his life just like most people on this planet. Some demons crave drugs, some crave sex, some crave alcohol, some crave to cut up themselves and others. Some crave food and they eat and eat and then vomit because they become disgusted with themselves. Some crave to be skinny and do not eat because these demons tell them they are too fat. These demons use one against another and love is never the motive. It is selfishness that rules the kingdom of demons. Most people give in to the cravings, because these demons are very powerful. If you have a problem believing this go to the physiatric hospitals and prisons and speak to the people who have been overcome by these demons. Many end up committing suicide because they listen to the voices in their head. These demons hide in the dark and wait for the next victim. They will present themselves as an angel of light and make the evil seem good and glamorous. They will put up a pretty picture to entice their prey. Look at the history of every "actress" or "actor", every "singer" or "dancer". Hollywood seem "glamorous" until one is caught up in the net. First there is a depression, then an oppression, then total possession. The last state is when you do not know who you are anymore and you become totally controlled by these demons. No one is exempt. I am sure you have encountered at least one or two that I have mentioned. This article is written to bring to light what has been hiding in the dark for ages. I am "looking at the man in the mirror and asking him to change his ways before it is too late".
There is a way to get rid of these demons. Please follow me as I continue this thread. I reflect on the past and present and looking into the future I can see a bright light at the end of the tunnel for those who desire to "cause that man in the mirror to make a change for the betterment of this world ". I believe that Michael was crying out for help and the help he needed is what I have found, when I too cried out many years ago. I found the peace that surpasses ALL human understanding, joy that is ongoing and unceasing and such love that no man can duplicate. I found my true self in Jesus Christ. I began to read the King James Version of the bible for the first time in my life and in there I found the answers to all of my questions. However, I had to give up all earthly desires, to receive this peace of mind. No amount of prescribed drugs, alcohol, parties, sex, fame or fortune made me feel this good inside. I never attended AA or NA. All I had was the written Word of God and I eat the words on those pages. There is an answer to every problem, if only we would follow it. I decided to test God at His Word and found Him to be true to what is written. After awhile, I found that the demons began to leave my mind one one by one. They left as I told them what is written in the bible and the promises of protection I received from my God. I began to follow Jesus Christ and obey His teachings and found that His yoke is indeed easy and His burden is truly light, because He helps me and He has promised to help everyone who will believe in Him. So you see, I tried listening to God through His Word and then and only then, I found peace. I realize I had to make a choice to give up the things that the demons offered me and now I claim victory over my mind by using the Written Word which became my ammunition.
I am writing this in faith that those who get the opportunity to read this will come to the conclusion that the only way to have peace is to follow Jesus Christ through His Word, and then you too will have victory over the demons that are persecuting your minds. All you need to do is call His name and ask Him to help you. I pray that Michael's dream of "changing that man in the mirror comes true for many".
With lots of love to all humanity

| REPORTS OF MICHAEL JACKSON ACCEPTING CHRIST BEFORE HIS DEATH!!!
Monday, June 29, 2009 at 7:32pm | Edit Note | Delete
By Bishop Andy C. Lewter, D. Min. for Gosel Today Magazine
According to the MARY MARY’s Facebook Page, Michael Jackson Received Jesus Christ.
"Last night we received some good news from Terri McFaddin-Solomon who is good friends with Sandra Crouch. Three weeks ago Sandra and Andre' spent some time with their close friend, Michael Jackson. Michael
asked Andre` to play, "It Won't Be Long And We'll Be Leaving Here."
Michael then prayed with Sandra and Andre and accepted Christ into his heart. Now he's singing in the heavenly choir! Our Hearts Rejoice.
On last Friday afternoon, following the death of Michael Jackson, CNN, Fox, MSNBC all displayed pictures of the Rev. Jesse Jackson appearing outside the home of Michael Jackson alongside Joe Jackson, the patriarch of the Jackson clan. On Saturday morning, Rev. Jackson, who not related to the Jackson family, released a statement that suggested the family of Michael Jackson are not content with the explanations that have currently been offered relating to the death of the King of Pop.
"Michael Jackson's family wants a private autopsy of the pop icon because of unanswered questions about how he died and the doctor who was with him. They are grief-stricken. They're hurt because they lost a son. But the wound is now being kept open by the mystery and unanswered questions of the cause of death," said Rev, Jackson.
An initial autopsy was performed in Los Angeles and officials held a press conference indicating that there was no indication of trauma or foul play, according to the coroners office. The Coroner’s office further indicated that it could take several weeks for the final reports to be released.
The body was then released to the family and no decision has yet been made on who would possibly perform the second autopsy or where it might take place.
The death of Michael Jackson is the latest in a series of deaths by celebrities that seemingly connected with scandal. What is certain is that Jackson did have available to him the services of a private physician and was addicted to prescription drugs used to delete the pain that he was common for him.

Praying for the lost and hearing the good reports bless me this morning like you would not believe my sister. I hesitated to write this because I did not know how it would be received so I kept it in draft mode until yesterday. I can only speak what is on my heart and at times I feel so emotional it scares me to put it into words. I am happy this was well received.
Thank you Jesus |

Gasp! Marcia, would you believe that I had the VERY same burden for Michael?
This is truly amazing. Yahshua placed him on my heart about 15 years ago and I share many of the same sentiments that you speak of here. I was never a "fan" of his either and I am not even American.
Yes, let's pray without ceasing - and this not for ourselves but for the many people (known and unknown to us) who are entangeled in the snares of satan. If NO one prays for the lost, who will help them?
Love and Peace in Yahshua (not "World-Peace")

My friend Anna,
I can only thank G-d that He hears the fervent prayers of the righteous. Thank you for reminding me of how we must keep ourselves pure and unbiased when it comes to Father's business on earth. I am happy to know that you also had the same burden. WOW! Michael was so persecuted in his soul.
Father heard his cries and had some burdened to pray for him. From the USA to Australia. May we all take a lesson from this and truly pay heed to what is happening inside the souls of humanity and be serious in our times of prayer. No amount of money can give us the peace that we receive from Jesus Christ alone.
Shalom to you my sister in Christ

I wonder if we should even serve God if we can live like the devil all of our lives and confess Christ just before we die. Remember that Jesus said that not everyone that calls me Lord Lord will enter into heaven. This relates to people that believe that they are serving God
1 Peter 4:17, 18; For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? |

I really hesitate to say this, but I recently read a report in Charisma Magazine online that the Crouches denied that any such acceptance of Christ on Michael's part took place, although I guess the rest of what was reported appears to be true. The super-star obviously was looking for answers and so we can perhaps take comfort in knowing that God is a righteous judge who knew Michael through and through.
Anyway, whether he did open his heart to the Lord or not, the point is made. I agree whole-heartedly with Prophet Jay that we should all examine ourselves to see if our relationship with the Lord is what it should be. |

Three weeks ago Sandra and Andre' spent some time with their close friend, Michael Jackson. Michael asked Andre` to play, "It Won't Be Long And We'll Be Leaving Here." Michael then prayed with Sandra and Andre and accepted Christ into his heart.
and then : the Crouches denied that any such acceptance of Christ on Michael's part took place, although I guess the rest of what was reported appears to be true. The super-star obviously was looking for answers and so we can perhaps take comfort in knowing that God is a righteous judge who knew Michael through and through.
Well, with opportunity like Andre and his wife ministering to him, we do NOT know tthat he didn't pray when they left that day. Isn't it odd that our hearts are so burdened for him because we knew him and his talent and there are folks three doors down unsaved we have no burden for in the natural. They may not be able to sing or moon dance and may be disgusting to our natural tastes but unsaved none the less....and we don't know that we are placed there for the very purpose of leading them into the fold.
Andre's fame gave him the audience where you and I couldn't reach Michael except through prayer. He however isn't exposed to our neighbors. We are all to go and share. I love a blog like this because it reminds me of MY role in this life. Send me Lord. |

My dear friend Lynne,
Your statement pleases my heart. If the world's focus is on the celebrities and they get saved and set free from their addictions, then they too can tell the world that Jesus Christ is the only way. They have a platform through their songs and the media, that most people do not, and the thing is most of the people they surround themselves with will not get the gospel to them. However, Father can save them through the fervent prayers of the true saints of G-d. Ephesians 6 comes to mind. |

Hello my friend Barb
Thank you for your input. I do not listen to the news. I listen to my heart and what the Holy Spirit tells me. I know the grief the Holy Spirit laid on my heart for Michael, and in faith, I must believe that my heavenly Father has answered my heart felt prayers for him and everyone I have been burdened to pray for. Otherwise, what good will it be to pray for anyone? If I know Andre was with him before he died that alone brings peace to my mind, because I know they were praying also for him and this news tells me that my prayers were answered. Father sent those who He will. When I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour, I did so privately. Only G-d knows our heart and He alone has the final answer. |

My friend Prophet Jay,
Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your input. I understand what you are saying and quite agree with you regarding living according to our beliefs. G-d looks at the heart and who can know what is in it? We all have one common denominastor (Satan).
That is the mystery of G-d. We must all have one thing at the forefront of our minds and this is with G-d all things are possible to those who believe with 100% faith. I was no different than Michael or anyone else who commits the worst sins, and yet I believe that if I had cried out to Jesus in all of it, he would have saved me and lovingly placed me to sit with Him in heavenly places and that is why I love my Jesus so much.

In response to Jay- 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, 10:27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. I may have taken those verses out of context, but to me it seems a confession, after years of deliberately (wilfully) ignoring God and following one's own way, defeats the purpose of salvation. As for this life, I don't believe God is merely looking for folks who won't sin. He's looking for people to LOVE him, isn't he? |

| Michael was very talented. He was also very weak. It is sad that he let the demons inside him 'win'. He was truly calling and crying out for help all of his life. He lost the childhood that never came. He was a soon to be 51 yr old man living inside a 10 yr old body. We can never understand the biological makeup of what causes these errors in a person when they are born. But at last he is at peace. Something he never had while on earth. Rest in Peace MJ............You left a legacy, but most of all I hope you have taught others what life can be about. Until they accept their sins and ask for forgiveness then they will be searching in all the wrong places for inner and true love and acceptance. God Bless. Your blogs are amazing........ |

Mike,
I believe that we are called to be Holy and righteous. G-d DOES expect us to NOT sin, because He provided His Spirit, His blood and His Word to give us the help we need.
His first and greatest command is to love Him first, but He knows we cannot do so without His Holy Spirit. That is why Jesus said in John that we must be "born-again". Now after we are "born-again", if we continue to "willfully sin", then there is no forgiveness for those sins, because we would then be rejecting the help we have been given by G-d .
It is like you going to a store and purchasing a beautiful diamond ring for your wife and she just throws it away for lack of appreciation for you and the gift. |

Yes gasper, there are many evil spirits that enter a person's mind and speak to them using their weaknesses. These spirits will steal, kill and destroy a person. I wrote a few blogs on these spirits and how they operate and how to get rid of them. If you are interested, you may go take a look at my profile page and the links are listed chronologically. The first blog is the last written. I pray that you are blessed to be an overcomer as you read. |

Lately, I have been privy to witness some "celebrities" cry openly and un-ashamed on t.v. and I heard them speak of making a change in their lives. I believe that is the Holy Spirit working in their heart, because the spirit of pride is broken. Now, Lord according to Your Word, you can lift them up and make them to sit in heavenly places (a place of rest). Alleluia!!!!
Heavenly Father, please hear my cries for the lost souls and hasten to help them climb out of that dark and lonely pit, in the name of my precious Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, I know it will be done according to Your Word found in John chapter 15/15, Amen. |

| You know, I went with my mom to see his movie "this is it" I didn't really want to see it because I know he is an idol to so many people and I didn't want to pay for his fame... Anyways I was feeling the same way, you know I just felt so bad for him! He was so talented and had such a beautiful voice, but he got wrapped up in fame... If only he would have given his life to the Lord, If he would have used the gifts that God had given him to glorify God instead of drawing glory to himself we would have seen a completly different transformation!!! We would have seen an inward transformation instead of an outward disfiguration! We need to pray for the salvation of hollywood! Most children look up to these people and if there isn't a change soon we will lose so many young ones to these demons!! I |
