Still saddened by his death..even more so saddened that he has been crying out the whole and no one was listening!! Even though he was speaking loud and clear through the songs he wrote. I agree with this. His lifestyle and actions through the years could be seen as a cry for help. The sad thing is from everything we've seen heard and know, apparently he did not cry out to Jesus Christ to save heal and deliver his sin sick soul. (Please don't refer me back to the Crouch story) |

But how do we really know that he did not cry out to Jesus according to Adrae Crouch website he did not receive Jesus. It was sid they prayed together ABOUT Jesus and they talked to MJ about the Holy Spirit. It was said he didnt reject Jesus but they never said he received Jesus either. So the only persons who really know are Michael and Jesus.... |

When I heard the news that Micheal had died, I was overwhelmed by a sadness I normally don't experience when other artists leave us too soon. It became painful to even look at all the coverage on tv about Micheal's music, his life, and the scandals he was accused of. The tears kept falling. I pondered if he made his peace with God. I prayed for him down through the years. THEN I found this on another website and my spirit just leaped!!! Michael Jackson Got Born Again!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to this post on Gospel Singers MaryMary's Facebook page. Mary MaryLast 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! Now that's what I'm talking about! I feel like moonwalking over this! according to Adrae Crouch website he did not receive Jesus. It was sid they prayed together ABOUT Jesus and they talked to MJ about the Holy Spirit. It was said he didnt reject Jesus but they never said he received Jesus either. So the only persons who really know are Michael and Jesus.... Giant's thanks for bringing clarity to the initial report. It was confusing especially because the day he died, his brother speaking on behalf of the family said his "soul was committed to allah" which led me to believe he had not changed from his recent dabblings in Islam. Still sad though. |

Still sad though. No one really know because Mike didn't have a very close relationship with his brothers. They love each other but they all wasn't speaking because he back out on going on tour with them or didn't include them. All we can say, the seed was planted and hope he did called on Jesus in his last hour. |

I'm convinced that in the end, we're going to see some people in the Kingdom we didn't expect to see and aren't going to see some people we expected to see.
We also need to stop linking true repentance to a word-by-word prayer. Plenty of folks come to an altar every Sunday, repeating what the preacher told them to repeat, and there's been no change whatsoever. But there are people in the pews who didn't audibly pray a prayer, but their soul cried out to Jesus in faith, and He heard them.

I didn't received Christ through a repentance prayer.. no one led me and I didn't know how to repent or talk to God... it was a simple cry out in desperation. No immediately repent, no words, just a cry... and I was transformed that very moment.... There are those who have that same desperation, want Christ, want help and want change and is led through word by word prayer... I have a problem with pulling ppl to come up and put them on the spot to repent and pray, but their heart is far from it, then call them saved. Michael has been crying out for help for years and desperately needed it... Why he visit the Crouches and why he requested for those songs.... |

Michael has been crying out for help for years and desperately needed it... Why he visit the Crouches and why he requested for those songs.... Here is the entire post from the site.. "There was NO actual “sinners prayer” however, but they did talk and pray about Jesus and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. They also told him, “Michael, we consider you as our son”, and he said, “Yes, yes, yes”, and he gave him his latest music on a CD, and he told him, “Andrae’ I trust you with this”, and gave him CD’s of 2 songs, unpublished, …beautiful music. He still had his Christmas decorations up at home.... He first heard it in NY, and loved it, and wanted it on tape. He had the engineer tape the song sang to him by Andrae’ and Sandra. He definitely had an “encounter” with them, Andrae’ says, “he did NOT reject Jesus or the prayer when they prayed, and gladly joined in prayer.” He usually doesn’t touch anybody, but he touched them, and held their hands in a circle as they sang and prayed... so Andrae' and Sandra explained to him about the "anointing" and about Jesus. He wanted to know what makes your hands go up, and makes you “come out of yourself”, and what gives a "spirituality" to the music? He then requested to hear his favorite song that he loves, and wanted then to sing to him, so they sang that song to him, and joined hands and sang together, and he said, “it was beautiful”...According to Andrae’, who was relaying to Verdine to tell me over the phone just now, Andrae' and Sandra did in fact visit with MJ 2 times, once ar the recording studio, and once at his home in the last 2 months, as recently as 3 weeks ago, asking for prayer concerning the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and how he could make his music more "spiritual."... |

wow........
Now to me that sounded like a start on the right road..... But I know we are so "religiously correct" that we dont even realize when someone is trying to make a change. (Im not talkin bout anyone here in specifics, im referring to "church folk")
Im like KB.....
You know the church always looks for people to "come up" and get saved, when indeed the fact that the idea of receiving salvation was considered shows a heart that is leaning towards faith in Christ. Faith comes by hearing....that's a matter of the heart, not just a physical action. To believe on the Lord Jesus and to even consider to follow him starts in the heart first. No one knows what Mike had going on in his heart. And the whole fact that he said this tour was the final curtain call....... Now I know he was getting older but that could have meant that he was planning on pursuing other things and focusing on other areas of his life. And the fact that knowing the King of Pop, and his love for music, I dont see how he was going to just stop performing his music......but that's what he said, and like I just said maybe he was looking at other things in life as more important like maybe his spirituality possibly or anything...
Its just a speculation..........

Anybody look at the memorial service today? It was probably the classiest, most professional celebrity memorial service I've witnessed, yet also the saddest. I was really about to start bawling during Usher's performance when he walked to the casket when he was singing and got choked up at the end of the song. And then when his daughter, Paris, gave remarks and started crying that was very touching as well. I loved all of the performances and Al Sharpton gave great remarks. All in all, it was a job very well done for the King of Pop. I will certainly miss him in a profound way.

Jermine, Marlon, Usher and little Paris brought much tears to my eyes... it was very emotional. When Marlon said..."I'm hurt, Lord why you took my brother home...." it like nothing can comfort him. and the others behind him, Jackie and Tito begin to break down.... Little Blanket with those big dreamy eyes like Michael... holding on to the doll of his daddy so tight... he looked so sad and confused. No way they can take the two older kids away from him and award them to a woman who say she didn't want them and a stranger to them. An excellence service.... |

hey Guys,
I still can't believe that Micheal is gone... Wow...
Either way I don't think the Jackson family is going to lose the kids... They are old enough to speak up and state their own desires...
I don't know about the two boys... But I bet that Paris is going to end up with Janet... regardless of what is on paper. She was practically Janet's shadow yesterday!

One thing about LaToya, she always told the truth about her family dynamics, I couldn't wait to hear from her - GapLaToya Jackson: Michael Was 'Murdered'Speaking out for the first time, the grieving sister of Michael Jackson says she thinks "a shadowy entourage" led to the death of her brother, accusing them of "murdering" him. Speaking with Britain's Daily Mail, LaToya Jackson -- who signed the King of Pop's death certificate -- says that Michael was an isolated figure, making him easy prey for greedy associates. She accuses these people, whether it be doctors, handlers or assistants, of feeding Jackson drugs to control his moods in order to get what they want. "I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren’t always on his side," LaToya said. LaToya then said that she predicted her brother's demise "Less than a month ago." "'He’s never going to make it to London. He was worth more dead than alive," LaToya said she told fellow Jackson family members, "I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn’t have his best interests at heart. Michael was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around them." LaToya continues, saying that in the final months, her brother "was isolated from his family. He had no real friends. He was the loneliest man in the world. I knew something terrible was going to happen." She also takes on the speculation as to what role Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, played in the King of Pop's final hours. LaToya says Murray "disappeared" from the hospital after she began peppering him with questions about her brother's health. She says that Jackson was found in Murray's bedroom in the rental house, and that oxygen canisters and IV bags lined the walls. Jackson says that Murray "mumbled a bunch of nothing" as she grilled him with questions. "He said something like, 'Michael didn’t make it, I’m sorry.' It wasn’t right. It felt weird." LaToya also goes on to retell just exactly how her life changed when she got the frantic phone call about her brother. "I was at home when I received the news that Michael had been rushed to the hospital. I live about three minutes away from Michael in Beverly Hills," LaToya said. "Finally, I heard Mother in the background asking, 'Who is that?' When she learned it was me, she screamed, 'Why don’t you just tell her?' and she grabbed the phone and just screamed as loud as she could, "He's dead!'" Jackson says she "nearly crashed my car. My legs went weak. I couldn’t press down on the gas pedal. I got to the wrong entrance at the hospital and was begging the security guys to help me and take my car because I was so weak and faint. They took me up to the area where Michael had been taken. Mother was crying and Michael’s kids were crying." LaToya says she and Jackson's three children then went to view his body. "There was a towel over his face and I lifted it and the kids saw him and Paris said, 'Oh Daddy, I love you.' We hugged and kissed him and the children lifted up his hands. He didn't look like he was gone. His eyes were half open and he looked like he was sleeping. He wasn’t cold." 2009 AOL LLC.

You know what this took me along time to come on here to express how i felt about Mike because i didn't want anyone trippin. But now that i see that you all felt and feel the same way i do it will easier to tell what i've been going through. When i came home from work my neighbor had gotten a phone call and all i heard her say MICHAEL JACKSON is dead! my eyes bucked and said your lying. I ran home got on my internet and there it was but all i saw was that he was rushed to the hospital hadn't heard yet that he was dead didn't want to except it. To make a long story short I to am 50 and have every album you can think of of the jackson 5 and Michael. I did not cry until the day of the furneral when Usher, Marlon, and Michael's daughter spoke just like all of you i can not believe that he is gone. Yes i have down loaded his new music of "This is it" I say to Mike you were loved by many and it is God who does the judging. www.bet.com/Specials/michaeljackson/videos/michaeljackson_video_mjmemorial.htmAl Sharper spoke a Word. atrue |
