Michael Jackson a Saved Christian in Heaven? Man, I pray this Mary Mary, Andrae’ Crouch, Terri McFaddin-Solomon Report is True About Michael Jackson, Jesus and Prayer 3 Weeks Before His Death…
I just got off the phone with a friend who told me about this blog post (Update: I see the Mary Mary blog has been deleted — making me think that was never Mary Mary in the first place) on a Mary Mary fan blog claiming that gospel great Andrae’ Crouch and his twin Sandra met with Michael Jackson only three weeks before his death — writing that Michael Jackson asked Andrae’ Crouch to play It Won’t Be Long [Then We'll Be Leaving Here]
This is the statement that is being attributed to Mary Mary:
“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!”
Thank you to the person who commented, leading me to this YouTube video with Andrae Crouch talking about Michael Jackson raising his hands and trembling during one time when the Holy Spirit was present and Crouch did an altar call while singing “I Surrender All” — he didn’t say Michael Jackson came up, but he said MJ was really affected and said he’d never seen anything like that:
I also see the same statement on Mary Mary’s Facebook page — which says it is their official Facebook page, and I hope that’s really true.
I’ve seen more than my share of Internet rumors, fake “official” pages and the like, so I’m approaching this with a cautious and hopeful eye.
I really pray that major news magazines interview Andrae’ Crouch soon and very soon!
…because the reporter in me knows that if Andrae’ Crouch really was one of the last people to see Michael Jackson — and touch him no less! — and pray with him at that! — a mere 21 days before Michael Jackson died, well, that’s a major news story. (Keep checking the most recent Google News’ reports here about Andrae’ Crouch, and lets all of us saints pray that this story is real and grows legs.)
So my first order of research business was to make sure Andrae Crouch actually made a song called “It Won’t Be Long” — since I only remember “Soon and Very Soon” from my grade-school days — and lo and behold, yes, Andrae Crouch made that song here:
Is Michael Jackson in Heaven with Jesus the Christ?
Okay, so further research led me to examine Andrae’ Crouch’s Facebook page, with posts reportedly written by Dave, the fan page administrator, who says he got the following information about Michael Jackson praying with them about Jesus — this was allegedly related thru someone named Verdine Parker, who is listed here as a contributor on Andrae’ Crouch’s “Mighty Wind” CD, and needs prayer according to that Facebook page that says this about Michael Jackson and the sinner’s prayer and Christianity:
According to Andrae’ [Crouch], who was relaying to Verdine [Parker] to tell [Dave, Andrae' Crouch's Facebook fan page administrator] over the phone just now, Andrae’ and Sandra [Crouch] did in fact visit with Michael Jackson 2 times, once ar [sic] 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”, 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”…
..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…
…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.
So there you have it…was Michael Jackson really saved?
God I hope so. You can tell from my sidebar this was the year for me reading about revelations of hell, and I didn’t want to picture the boy I’ve watched since I was a 6-year-old anywhere near there. Listening to his songs these past few days have brought me to how deeply and severely talented Michael Jackson was — what a gift to draw millions with that inexplicable good gift that only heaven can bestow. And that falsetto voice was spiritual, too, with his mention of “the River Jordan” and the like. I just didn’t know where he stood on Christ. Still don’t totally know, but feel better than I did last night about it, knowing (believing, hoping, praying) those visits about 21 days before MJ died were ordered by our Maker.
In all the tributes showing people dancing in the streets and tears and sobbing and rejoicing and clucking at watching Jermaine Jackson telling Allah to be with Michael in this video, I couldn’t help but think about Michael Jackson’s soul — knowing that God had touched him to touch so many people.
I pray that in all this melee, Michael Jackson really did trust Jesus as the Messiah and heeded the Lily of the Valley’s words and commands and beliefs and beauty:
“Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
That’s where I pray that Michael Jackson is, with Jesus right now. I looked up at the sky and wondered and pondered and imagined…
And all the child molestation accusations — whatever happened, if Michael Jackson honestly repented and fell on the rock before it shattered on him, God is faithful to forgive. Yeshua died as all the vile things we are: robbers, rapists, drug abusers and the like, I heard one guy say so eloquently who had committed maybe some of the same sins Michael Jackson did.
Jesus took it on that night in the Garden of Gethsemane when he prayed for the cup of suffering to pass but took it like a valiant Savior anyway. Anyone who denies the torture Rabboni took for us tries to make a mockery of the cross. Those who accept it, our Father knows. Let’s pray we will make it to heaven and see MJ there some day.
“He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.” Matthew 21:44

My heart says Michael, shortly prior to his death, was once again reaching out for Jesus. It cannot be a coincidence that he asked for guidance of the Holy Spirit and this pastor of this big evangelical church turned to him directly during the Sunday service on June 21st.
I think all puzzle pieces come together now: MJ was so much over his head in trouble that God decided to bring him home. He saw Michael’s struggle and just gave him the last kick to come to Jesus.
Baruch Ha Shem!
Thank you all that have posted. I was praying for MJ the minute I found out he was possibly dead. I kept saying, but Lord he’s not saved. I felt uneasy, but then I felt God’s peace about it. Then I felt the uncertainties of Satan challenging my peace (Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy). Then I found this blog, I have total peace that he is with our Lord. I agree with the above posts that he was saved then taken to heaven before corruption could again steal his heart. We don’t know what goes on behind closed doors, but just as we have encounters with the living God, Michael may have had one to and told Jesus he was ready to go home. Let’s all unite and continue to pray for the lost. May God bless all of you.
Our pastor’s best friend was at the conference where Andre and Sandra told this story and it is true. Praise God! a once lost soul, now is found by the amazing grace of God. Accept Jesus as your savior, you may not have tomorrow to do so!
iam live in indonesia, when i heard about his death, i was so surprised, and when i saw the television about MJ has converted to moslem, i was so sad, i just imagine, how tragic his life even until the end of his life, he still didn’t know the JESUS CHRIST.
BUTTT… when i heard that MJ has converted to Christian,, i was so glad, it’s really make me happy, because his life isn’t as tragic as i imagine. i just hope that news really true, i just hope he is singing in the heaven’s choir right now.
how amazing our LORD, he always pay attention to each of His child… thank you JESUS
I hope so too (that Michael received Christ). When I had heard he died, I was so hurt and sad, but not because we had lost an entertainer. I was saddened by the fact of the tragic circumstances under which his life was lived, the pain of his soul, the way he gave his all to people and, as far as him just being a regular man with human needs didn’t get much back. If there was anyone around him who could’ve helped him, they didn’t obviously and he was ostricized away from his family. nothing but leeches lay in wait all around him for anything they could possibly suck from him, even his own father. That’s what really pulled at me. And before I even heard that he might have accepted Christ, I just prayed that the Lord would truly have mercy on his soul, I prayed so earnestly and so sincerely for him. I just prayed that God would have compassion for His creation, this man who I know He also loved and hurt for just as much as he loves and hurts for anyone else. I really pray that God was able to touch Michael’s heart and that now, after a lifetime of serving others and giving his all in anyway he could and not just because he felt obligated to do so but because he really had a heart to do so that he is resting among heavenly hosts and proclaiming God’s love and glory in the heavenly skies. Although he didn’t know me personally and vice versa, I did love him, the man Michael Jackson as I am sure many others who can look past the outward appearance and contributions of a man and look at a man’s heart did. We loved him with the heart of Christ, we loved him with love that goes past human understanding.
May God be the glory!!!! This video was aired four days before Michael Jackson died.

God is on the Throne.
REMEMBER ITS THE BLOOD OF JESUS THAT MAKES US THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD, SO MICHAEL IS WITH HIS HEAVENLY FATHER,AND DESERVES TO NO LONGER BE JUDGED!!! GOD CAME TO SAVE THE LOST,NOT THE SAVED,AND WE NEED TO PRAY ALSO FOR HOMOSEXUALS,LESBIANS,HOOKERS,GANG BANGERS,ETC… AND LOVE THEM!!! FOR THIER SINS ARE EQUAL TO JUDGING,GOSSIPING,LYING,BEING SELFRIGHTEOUS,JEALOUSY,ENVY,ETC… RIP MJ SEE YOU IN HEAVEN OUR BROTHER!!!!!! AMEN TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!!!!
Michael jackson is not a serpent, some of you get too overly spiritual about things, and that is not of god. NOW LET US NOT JUDGE,AND Quote THE WORD OF GOD!!
I am reminded reading this blog and some of the comments (and not that this applies to anyone) as Christians we should be aware of the spirit of deception. We are to understand the signs of the times. And I beleive that we are truly in the last days.
Matthew 24:3
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
24:4
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
When I read this, I said that’s not an answer. But after talking with my pastor I understood what Jesus was saying. In the last days deception will be the order of the day.
That’s in the New Covenant. So we should be wise as serpents but harmless as doves and continue to walk in love. I am very concerned for the salvation of others and believe in praying for that and yet I am reminded of Paul’s words;
Philippians 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Michael is on the other side now and we don’t know where is is but we can know where we are going! I pray that God enlighten the eyes of your understanding and that he show the mysteries of the Kingdom of God.
why is it so easy to follow mary mary and their comments and pictures on face book without question, but when a statement about michael jackson is made that he accepted Christ aries – our brows begin to rise – if they say someone told them this – why not believe them – we follow anything else they put on their page. my pastor once said, no one knows what happens the moment life ends as we see it with our natural eyes – how do we know (because the Great God we serve does not want to see anyone perish)that Christ does not appear to that one whose eyes are no longer open and breath no longer in them (that we can see), comes to them before their spirt leaves them and ask them to take His hand in belief that He is the Christ and our salvation, giving them that last opportunity to be saved – we don’t know and never will – duet. 29:29 says the secret things belong to God, but those things that are revealed belong to us and our children – God Bless You All!
First of all let me say that I have never been a Michael Jackson fan. When I first heard on the news of his death the first thing that came to mind and was immediatley placed heavily on my heart is if he got saved. For the past week or weeks I haven’t necessarily been sad about him dying but about him accepting Jesus. I began to feel so bad because I felt that if I just prayed for him (I strongly believe in the power of prayer) he would have gotten it. I have had this huge weight on my chest literally about him getting saved. I would whisper to myself that he did but I had doubts (which I am ashamed to admit). As I started paying a little attention to statements from people who knew Michael Jackson it didnt help. Compassion began to overflow in my heart because if I am being honest with myself, I judged him along with others.Sometimes we get so caught up and dont realize that we can be so cruel. He was human just like myself. He has a soul just like myself. This man as a human being took a lot of ridicule. Like I mentioned before his salvation has really been bothering me. When I heard about his encounter with the Crouches I immediately searched it I was happy about it but the next day the weight came back heavier than before. Today, I began to really talk to God about how I felt about this whole situation and I got this urge just to check it out again because I thought that maybe I could gain some strenght from this. I ran into this forum and I must say the weight has lifted off of me. All of a sudden God has given me this peace that surpasses all understanding. And it was like he has confirming to me that Michael Jackson has received Jesus. I am not trying to be deep (if everything sounds jumbled up it is only because I have so much I want to say at one time) I believe with all of my heart that Michael received Jesus. The Crouches planted the seed of Jesus into him. It may have been at the last few minutes of Michaels life that he received Jesus but all that matters is that he did. I believe his heart accepted him and I have this joy and peace that he did.
What I have learned from all of this and I know many of us have heard it over and over but it has now become so real to me. WE AS GOD’S CHILDREN HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE TREAT PEOPLE WHETHER IT IS BY ACTIONS THAT CAN BE PHYSICALLY SEEN OR WHETHER IT IS WITH OUR HEARTS. WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. WE MAY BE THE ONLY JESUS THAT SOMEONE SEE. WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES COULD SOMEONE TRULY LOOK AT US AND SEE THE LOVE OF JESUS IN US WITHOUT US SAYING THAT WE KNOW HIM. EVEN IF THEY DONT KNOW JESUS CAN THEY SEE THAT SOMETHING ABOUT US IS DIFFERENT? PLEASE I BEG EVERYONE THAT READ THIS, TO HAVE COMPASSION EVEN TO LEAST OF THEM.No matter what no one else says I believe that God has confirmed to me that Michael Jackson accepted Jesus. PLEASE LET US PRAY FOR OTHERS, OUR FAMILY MEMBERS(EVEN THOSE WE DON’T GET ALONG WITH),NEIGHBORS, COWORKERS, MUSICAL LEGENDS, ENEMIES, AND ANYONE ELSE. ANYBODY WHO GOD PLACES ON YOUR HEART TO PRAY FOR PLEASE I BEG YOU TO PRAY FOR THEM BECAUSE IF YOU WASN’T SAVED YOU WOULD WANT SOMEONE TO DO THE SAME FOR YOU. WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON AROUND US TIME IS RUNNING SHORT. WE HAVE TO PRAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
I AM SO JOYFUL THAT I AM A PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST AND KNOW JESUS AND I AM THANKFUL FOR ALL OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN HIM. LET US NOT TAKE OUR SALVATION FOR GRANTED BECAUSE IT COULD BE US.
Well like I have been telling everyone @ this point all we can do is hope. Do I know no I do not. Because I am reminded of the story in the Word about the begger, who ask the king for just a crumb, king dies now in Hell he looks up and sees the begger in Abrahams bosoms the king ask that his brother be given notice that Hell ant no joke. Abraham answered, they were already told. I just gave a very short version of that story but those that study know what I am talking about. So that story has always touched my spirit to say that NO ONE knows what Heaven or Hell look or feels like. We must walk by faith.
May God be the Glory
+++Prov. 31 Woman+++
I was saddened by the death of Michael Jackon and felt a little guilty because through his life being spotlighted by the media I did question what type of person he was due to his actions. Watching his memorial made me realize that he was just a person who never had a chance to have a regular life and for that reason he made choices and lived his life in a way we can not understand. To us he was just a great performer but to his family he was a son, brother, and father. He will never mean to us what he meant to them. I brings my heart joy to know in his last days he was compelled to seek Christ. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and that is best place for him to be.
I have had a burden on my heart and have prayed for Michael Jackson for years. I saw a troubled, but sweet, person who didn’t know which way to turn. I heard a pastor say once that when God puts a burden on your heart for someone it is because they are already His. He needs people praying for that person to activate the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. I was very sad and crying for MJ and asked the Lord if he went to heaven. I feel that he did and that God has confirmed that, to me, at least. I believe we will see MJ in heaven. Now we need to pray for his kids and all his loved ones to be there too.
Though there may not be a official “sinners prayer”, God tells us in Romans 10:9-11 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” A person does not become saved just because someone prayers for them and they sing a song. We have to confess with our own mouths. We don’t become saved by having a curiosity about spiritual things because spiritual things don’t always equate to Godly things. We cannot obtain God’s Holy Spirit to do secular things. The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to empower us to do “God’s will”, not our own self-exalting will. I hope that Michael did what God said to do in Romans 10.
What really matters now is that we pray for the ones who are alive and still have the opportunity to truly come to know Christ AND live for Him with their lives and not in lip service only. Too many stars confess Christ, but He is not reflected in their music, movies or lifestyle, and many Christians support this stuff making these stars comfortable in their mess. Though no one is perfect, Christians need to take a stand for Jesus and stop trying to fit into the world.
2 Corinthians 6:14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”[c]
17″Therefore come out from them
and be separate, says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you.”[d]
18″I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”[e]
2 Corinthians 7
1Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
Hats off to real Christians in Hollywood who take a stand and don’t bend, like Kirk Cameron.
Dear friends,
I believe with all my heart that MJ is with the Lord now. Do some research especially on his interviews with Oprah and Geraldo. He may not have been perfect all the time just as you and I have not been. He may have made some wrong choices just as you and I have made. But he believed in Jesus just as you and I do. No doubt about it. On many occasions, he often humbly and publicly credited his achievements to God. Not many celebrities do that any more. Some of his music and lyrics are so beautiful and loving, they must have come from the heavely realm of creativity. You can not fake that level of deep compassion and genuine love. I believe Jesus was in his heart all along.
I believe that the horrible slanders and untruthful gossips he had to go though all his life was Satan’s work who wanted to destroy the pure soul by the most wicked weapon. But with God’s mercy, the ordeal and pain kept him humble-hearted. The final encounters with Crouches was a merciful act of God to prepare for his funeral so that his precious soul can not be stolen by the Enemy during the final hours.
I also agree with the earlier comment by Steve that “God may have seen apostasy would befall MJ if he continued in this life and allowed him to come home.”
These thoughts of mine came as a result of tearful prayer for MJ’s soul for the past few days. I finally have peace in my heart.
I thank God for His love and mercy and glorify His name forever and ever. May Lord protect and bless MJ’s chidlren!
I have been praying for the salvation of Michael Jackson, Madonna and Jane Fonda for years. God bless them.
The following was taken from the Christian broadcasting network’s website http://www.cbn.com concerning Micheal accepting Christ after meeting with Andre Crouch.
Andre Crouch Denies Michael Jackson Prayed for Salvation
Gospel music legends, Andrae Crouch and his twin sister, Sandra, have issued a statement about erroneous stories that Michael Jackson had accepted Christ during a meeting with them.
In an official statement sent to Assist News Service, Andrae and Sandra said, “It has been brought to our attention that several media outlets have been erroneously reporting that we met our dear friend Michael Jackson several weeks prior to his death so he could accept Christ. This is incorrect and absolutely not true.
“We loved and respected Michael enormously and we’ve been friends with him for many, many years, and are deeply saddened by his sudden and tragic death. We recently met with Michael to discuss recording two songs with our choir for his newest recording project.
“Michael always had a respect and curiosity for spiritual things. During our meeting, not unlike many other creative/music meetings we’ve had with him in the past, we sang together, prayed together and had a wonderful time.
“We are praying for Michael’s family and desire nothing less than God’s best for them.”
I think this is something that every christian wonders about when someone famous dies because they have so much in this life. A few days ago, as i mopped the floors of my home, i prayed to the Lord about M.J. and if he knew Jesus. God told me “He’s with me”. I made it clear to the Lord that i wasn’t meaning to be nosey but i was concerned even though i knew there was nothing i could do at this point if MJ was not a christian. The next day, i heard on the radio about MJ, accepting Christ. God knows all things. I was so elated because i felt the Lord had confirmed what he had told me the day before. I praise God for salvation. I wouldn’t be caught dead without it.
If this is true then, for me anyway, his untimely passing now makes sense. There is a deep feeling of loss we all share due to Michael’s death. We all grew up with him and somehow feel we knew him. It is obvious that he was a very gentle man. He also seemed sincerely humble. The amount of fame and attention that was thrust upon him was more than even he could expect or deal with properly. We all saw what that level of fame and wealth did to him. Without the ability to make truly wise choices and the absence of any real accountability, he became someone else. A less likeable, almost wierd person. But just as the Lord had allowed Solomon to retain his wisdom when the same thing happened to him, although on a much greater level, He allowed Michael to retain his talent and his music and even the purity and innocence of his gift. But what a price was paid. I believe that if he did accept Jesus as his Lord, then he truly became God’s prperty. I believe that in His divine wisdom, our Heavenly Father allowed the events we are experiencing now to save Michael from the continued demise that his great fame was exacting. The London concerts, all fifty, were already sold out. The world tour would certainly have been as well. The new music, the non-stop schedule, the same thing was going to happen again; if not on the level of Thriller probably very close. Who knows what this may have done to Michael. If newly saved (hopefully), he would only have been a babe in Christ and the temptations of fame and popularity may have proven to be too great to sustain his burgeoning faith. So as an act of divine grace our Heavenly Father allowed Michael to come home, to rest, to be “pulled from the fire” as the book of Jude tells us. If as a parent I could protect my child from certain harm, I would. In fact, I seek to do so on a daily basis. I do this and I am “evil” yet I know how “to give good gifts unto my children”. How much more our Father in Heaven who knows all. Just a thought.
Roseanne, the sourcer’s sin was that he wanted to buy the Holy Spirit with money: “Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!” (Acts 8:20).
Only God knows Michael’s motives for wanting the Holy Spirit, but I am encouraged by the fact that he wanted Him!
I think Michael was a fantastic talent, I have been a fan when I was younger, not so much in the past 15 years or so, but when I heard he died I got very sad and troubled in my soul and mind for him. Despite of all the sins he committed (we were all sinners not just him, only our sins were not out there in the media for everybody to judge), I could’t help but wish a better afterlife for him. He was famous and successful, but he was never happy about that, unlike so many other famous people he didn’t even choose this life. He was constantly crying out for help, only the world would not listen. But even if the world listened, how could they have saved him? Only God can.
I was heartbroken to read a quote that he said to his Rabbi friend Shmuley Boetech:
„I am going to say something I have never said before and this is the truth. I have no reason to lie to you and God knows I am telling the truth. I think all my success and fame, and I have wanted it, I have wanted it because I wanted to be loved. That’s all. That’s the real truth. I wanted people to love me, truly love me, because I never really felt loved. I said I know I have an ability. Maybe if I sharpened my craft, maybe people will love me more. I just wanted to be loved, because I think it is very important to be loved and to tell people that you love them and to look in their eyes and say it.”
This guy was genuinely longing to feel the Heavenly Father’s love, only he didn’t know it was that love what he was missing. I do belive God answers to genuine requests.
I was so happy to read the story about Michael making steps towards God in the final period of his life. I am a bit sad that there wasn’t “sinners prayer”, because that could make us even more hopeful for him, but I hope God finalized the work in his heart. Even if we cannot be sure, it gives me so much more hope for him than what I had before. And hope doesn’t disappoint us, that’s what the Bible says.
BTW, it’s so interesting that I keep hearing Christians (even who were never a fan of his) telling he was in their prayers for a time and God put him on their hearts. God surely loves this kid, as he loves us all!
I also agree with Steve Farrah’s comment: “God may have seen apostasy would befall MJ if he continued in this life and allowed him to come home.”
I have heard people asking if he was saved why he had to die, why he didn’t get to do the works and be a powerful witness of God with all the fame and influence etc. he had.
First, I think it would have been difficult for him to be a witness. He should have repented publically. The media would tear him apart for admitting sins those are not too pretty. They wouldn’t see a man repenting, but they would see this as an opportunity to tear him apart once again – and with him maybe even Christianity. Who knows, if that would not have made Michael disappointed and go back to the World again. Also there were a lot of people in his life who had a bad influence on him – managers, businessmen, doctors etc. – maybe it would have been difficult for him to resist their call back to the World.
Second, I think God does NOT need a famous person’s secular fame and influence to spread the Word. I think a lot of MJ fans would not turn to God because of Jesus, but because that’s what Michael did – it would be a mess, not good for God’s cause IMO.
So if Michael accepted Jesus by the testimony of the Holy Spirit in his heart, then I think this was a wise thing from God to take him up from Earth now, before he could start his new tour with some sinful songs he had. I can’t help but think that the timing tells us something positive about it, that it was in God’s plans and that it was something positive for him, especially with what we have heard from the Crouches.
I truly hope he is Heaven – and finally feels loved!
A while back when Micael was accussed of molesting a boy…the last time that he was accused, before his passing.
MJ, had said in the interview that he was a Christian and that he put his trust in Jesus Christ. At first I was angry, because I felt this may futher hinder the Gospel of Jesus Christ; however, it may not. So weither he had a “death bed” experience of salvation – no one knows. But if it’s any consolation to any of you readers – I know what I heard MJ say, with his own mouth in the interview.
Sandra and Andrae are twins. They are not married.
p.s. apologies for the spelling errors. I did check but obviously not enough.
This is very hopeful. I would like further evidence however becasue the sourcer who came and asked the diciples for the power of the Holy Spirit to make his business more profitble was rebuked. (Acts 8:18-20) I really hope he did not seek only the anoniting and got to the point of wanting Jesus for Himself, repenting of the past and receiving Him.
Praying an ‘asking Jesus into your heart’ prayer because some leads you to, stands for little unless the Holy Spirit has drawn you to that point of surrender. (and you are welcome to agree or disagree with me on this) Only God knows the sate of his heart when he allowed them to pray. None of us can judge. Certainly, what I have read sounds he was sincere.
When MJ died I felt very sad for him; his life was tormented and unhappy, however successful he was. I am almost certain if he was not aginst being prayed for, then He must have been crying out for the Lord at some point towards the end. (surely only a very hard heart, in his shoes, would not,)espeically if it is true, as I hav also heard someone say, he knew he was going to die.
ALL WHO CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED!! (Romans 10:13) I really hope this is true of MJ. surely he was crying out for the love of Our Father!
P.S HE is FAITHFUL and JUST to forgive us for ALL our sins. And if there are any stones in any hands, just drop it because we certainly can’t cast them at anyone. With APAPE Love (GOD-KIND of Love) Always
This is a realty check for all. That we as the sons/daughters of God, are to always pray and not become complacient in this world and the things of this world. Life/death is no joke. We are called to pray for the salvation of others regardless of where they are. No longer praying for our own selfish desires, but for the personal relationships with JESUS the CHRIST. He is now before his CREATOR & the SAVIOR. God is the RIGHTEOUS JUDGE. GOD the FATHER knows every detail of MJ and the blood of JESUS the CHRIST has covered.Shall we pray -Let the church say AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE AND COMPASSION DRAWS US TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE!! THATS WHO JESUS IS.MJ WAS INNOCENT GOD ALMIGHTY IS HIS JUDGE.PRAY OUT OF LOVE NOY JUDGEMENT.TAKE THE LOG OUT OF YOUR EYES AND YOU WILL SEE AND HEAR CLEARLY THE PEACE THAT RULES IN OUR HEARTS FOR THOSE WHOS MY IS ON CHRIST!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!XOXO
I am yet another person who loves to call upon the name of the Lord our God for others, and yes Michael was on my list. I have a few other celebrities on my list that I am believing God for and not only celebrities, but for this generation. I find comfort in knowing that our God is good and his mercy endures forever. Let’s continue to pray for others while we are under the dispensation of grace through our precious Lord, Jesus Christ, not taking this time of grace for granted. One love, in Christ.
I prayed for MJ on occasions. I really wanted him to accept christ. He lived a painful life we must all learn from. Many yrs of UNFORGIVENESS for what his father did and SELF-HATRED of who he was based on dislike of looking like his father, apology to the JEHOVAH WITNESS’s for creating thriller and most of all his desire to be “LOVED” and live as a CHILD to rekindle what was lost. We must learn to let go of the past, stop spending our life apologizing and learn to forgive as well as, accept ourselves for who we are knowing we don’t have to be like our parents b/c we look like them or have their last name. Pay attention to michaels’ life over the years see how it is similar to yours.
I will be apart of no faith that makes me apologize to them. GOD is the only one who needs to hear my apology not a congregation of religious folk. As for the rape…pls. Pay attention its not consistent you can’t love and hurt a child. You can’t be torn two ways without the other taking control thats why there is no middle ground with GOD. Our jealous spirits from a jealous GOD will reveal what we are.
I also find it strange that the children we’re all wht(MJ was aware of racism in the U.S wouldn’t it be smarter to have raped your own….common sense) and it no longer was of concern after money came into play. He didn’t do it ppl. Pray for his children as money became the focus of there mothers lives. Pray for His family. Pray and let go and pay attention to the details of lies.The devil will whisper rumors and without our minds on GOD we will believe them.
I believe that MJ is with the Lord in a better place,Sleep tight Angel. However, this is what I came across today.
Andres Facebook Page has the following statement.
Andrae’ and Sandra did NOT lead Michael Jackson to the Lord, It is a rumor. Please spread the “truth” as quickly as the rumor has spread. (By Dave, Page administrator)
If this is true then my sadness has turned to joy. I was a child in kindergaten when I dance to his hit song remember the time and sang Heal the world. I lately over the years developed a burden for MJ. If he received Christ heaven is rejoicing.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…and whoever receives Him as Lord and Savior shall be be saved and have everlasting life….I have tears of joy knowing how the Lord had been working in the life of Michael Jackson…leading Christians to pray for his salvation through the promting of His Holy Spirit…let us rejoice… for the day will come that we shall meet our Lord Jesus face to face in heaven and fellowship together with our brother in Christ, Michael! Praise the Lord! Glory to God in the Highest!
LETS ALL REMEMEMBER PRAYER IS POWERFUL, AND we all need to be obedient to pray!! THE FERVENT PRAYERS OF THE RIGHTEOUS AVAILETH MUCH!!!! MANY OF US HAVE PRAYED FOR YEARS! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
This is weird, but the night before he died, i was putting my 12 yo son to bed. We normally pray then sing then wait on th eLord. In this moment of silence, he jumped, and said”Mommy, Michael JAckson’s face just came up in front of me.”
I was shocked, because as a christian, and an intercessor, i knew that something was wrong with MJ and we needed to pray. So i asid, “OK honey, we will pray for him”.
And strangely, i pray that Wednesday night that the Lord would send someone to Minister Salvation to him. I also prayed repeated that the Lord would have mercy on him.
Then i said to my son, it is now in God’s hand. And he went to bed.
I was shocked the next night to hear on the news that he died. I cried, because i know that God was giving my son a Word of Knowledge, and we were obedient.
So with the Andre Crouch story and my own encounter, i know that God was doing something in this man’s life.
I am at peace, because i did what i had to do. Let’s pray that he is with the Lord.
There’s really no way of knowing if he did or didn’t accept. But I sincerely hope he did.
I am so very very touched and happy to know that MJ accepted the Lord Jesus because this is ALL HE NEEDED.After hearing his story my heart was so downcast to know that such a famous person can be so trapped.He was so mistreated,unloved from childhood and mis-represented by people with vested interests.He seemed to have a genuiene love for children,which could only be God given.We truly need to reach out to a hurting world.Thankyou Jesus for loving people like MJ and taking him into your arms.
I couldn’t hold back the tears when i got to know. it was the best news have had in days. Glory be to Jesus our Saviour, I wish i could seen the devil face to face so i can gloat in its face. Well, people (those of us who still think hell is a fable ) it realy doesn’t cost you anything to give your life too and remember you can have the best fun ever here on eart with Jesus and also in heaven too. .I wish his brothers and sisters and the whole family too catches in on the opportunity. I would like all of us together to still see Micheal in heaven cos thats where he really is now. God bless you.
The bible says that to them who recieve him, gave
he the power to become Son’s of God, even to them
that call upon and believe on his name, we can rest
assure that Micheal is in the power and authority
of our heavenly father. Aslo, God who is not willing
that any should perish has a plan of salvation for
us that greater than our own plans.
Lets pray that the rest of his family and anyone
that we meet also coe to know Jesus Christ.
It is a great and peaceful thing to know that MJ is w/ JESUS in ETERNITY!!! i am sad he is not here on earth,BUT IN HEAVEN WHERE WE ALL WILL BE TOGETHER FOREVER!!! ALL OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN FULLFILLED!! CANT WAIT TO SEE THE KING OF ALL KINGS, AND THE KING OF POP. ILOVE YOU JESUS, IM SO HAPPY MJ IS EXPERIENCING YOUR ETERNAL LOVE, POWER, AND ANNOINTING FOR ETERNITY.LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON,SEE YOU SOON MY BROTHER!!! XO XO XO XO XO!!!!!! LOVE YOUR SIS IN CHRIST JEANNIE AVILA
Two questions came to mind, when I first heard about Michael’s passing.
1. Is he really, really dead?
2. Was his soul right with GOD?
The latter made me very sad. But on Sunday morning listening to our Gospel station.. GOSPEL 790, I heard about the meeting between Michael, Andrae and Sandra and I felt a burden lifted off my shoulders. I pray to GOD that MJ did experience a personal relationship him and I shall continue to pray that this story is true. Because after all the suffering Michael went through here on earth, he desires a heavenly life, where he will no longer experience any pain. He will be able to bathe in GOD’s GLORY. Rest in peace, Michael.
This is wonderful news. God is so good! Many people have prayed for Michael Jackson & let us continue to pray for people, famous and not famous. In this is case: let’s hope indeed that this news will be spread out in the world that Michael searched for God and our Lord Jesus says: seek and you will find, knock and the door shall be opend, pray and you will receive. He longed for God and for the Holy Spirit & the Holy Spirit visited Him personally. We thank God for His love and give Him the glory. Salmon Amsterdam
I am over joyed to know that this is true!!! I feel kidred spirit w/Michael, being that we share the same birthday! 4 yrs older than I. I grew up listening to him and seeing him grow to the many faces of MJ. But I have always prayed for him. Not every day, but especially on our birthday! That one day MJ would know the Lord as his personal savior. this is the greatest news ever!!! Thank God for his mercy and grace. His unconditional Love to us thru His son Jesus Christ! People do need the Lord, famous, rich, poor and even middle class. No one is exempt. NO not one!
Thank you Jesus!!!
I have been agonizing over his life for the past few days and I asked God how could you allow him to go to hell seeing as how his way of life was not his choosing. The bible says train up a child in a way he should go and he shall not depart from it. I could only think about the well intentions of his father wanting to supply for his family but i thought look at the expense it took on his fragile spirit. When I heard about this story I cried because above all I wanted him with Jesus and only when we get to Heaven will we see. To all those who want to be famous and want money is being lonely, sad and unlove worth it, I say no and I thank God for this story of God’s everlasting love.
Praise God. I am so happy to read this. I listened to his music and I can see he knew the bible. I know he grew up a Jehovah’s witness. So he knew something.
But the question was “did he have a relationship with HIM as Lord and Saviour” Knowing someone and having a relationship with them are two different things.
But now I am so happy and over joyed that he went steps further to know about the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ and I believe without a shadow of a doubt that he started a relationship with Jesus. Now I feel peace in my heart, knowing that Michael Jackson is with the Lord.
I am elated to know that Micheal Jackson has received everlasting life, through Christ, Our Lord.
The KING OF KINGS and the King of Pop!
That’s Awesome.. Covered with the Blood!!
Thank you, Lord! Ask and ye shall receive!!!
DON’T STOP TIL YOU GET ENOUGH….Believe in your Heart,Confess with your mouth, That Jesus is Lord,and that God, the Father raised Him from the Dead,,,That’s enough!!!
“YE SHALL BE SAVED” Our Heavenly Father is GOOD!!
I just hope it is true that MJ did receive Jesus into his heart. What struck me so is that as I was reading you blog the picture under the Jesus answered quote, if you look very closely, in the center of the clouds there appears to be a male figure with his arms stretch out, I noticed it immediately after reading the quote. My heart dropped! it’s as iff Jesus himself is appearing and saying “Come unto me all ye that labour and area heavy laden, and I will give you rest”.(Matthew ll:28) WOW!!!!!! To God be all the glory and honor.
I felt a relief in my heart, knowing that many people are faithfully praying for people like MJ to come to know Jesus. I know the feeling. Eversince I watched the movie about his life, God has placed a burden in my heart to pray for him. I know that this is not just a “fan fad” feeling, but a compelling conviction from the Lord, to see popular icons like MJ as a person equally created, saved and love by the same God that we trust. We cannot put God in a box. Even if MJ did not exactly prayed the “sinner’s prayer,” God knew his heart. I felt this deep sense of peace in my heart that someday, we’ll be surprised to see our “brother” in heaven. Truly indeed, Jesus can bring us to heaven even if we receive him 5 min. before we die, much more…3 weeks before the end of our life. To our fellow Christians, let’s continue to pray and share Jesus to others, popular or not. Everyone needs the Lord.
I have been praying for years for MJ to receive Jesus. Something was there is his music that compelled those prayers. I had always hoped he would have a ministry to others here when that happened. God may have seen apostasy would befall MJ if he continued in this life and allowed him to come home.
Just had to comment that I hope he did accept Jesus. It was the first thing I thought about when I heard he died. I want to add that the above comment on his molestation charges, I really feel he was innocent as even the case was thrown out of court. The more that is coming out on him, my heart aches for all that he went through and to read that above statement, well it hurts of what people believed about him without giving him the benefit of the doubt, I know I gave him the benefit of the doubt. May he be with The Lord and may the rest of his family know Him too.
