Michael Jackson's funeral is just around the corner. Anybody who doesn't know that must be on a different planet.
Question: What kind of funeral service will it be?
Answer: We don't know yet.
It seems that Jacko adhered to not a few different faiths in his half-century walk on earth - Islam, Scientology, Kabbalism, Jediism. He was raised Jehovah's Witness and Gurley makes a case for Michael maybe, just maybe becoming a Christian near the end of his life.
But, a spokesperson said about Michael Jackson's encounter with Andrea and Sandra Crouch -
“Andrae and Sandra did in fact visit with Michael Jackson two times, once at the recording studio, and once at his home in the last two months, as recently as three weeks ago, asking for prayer concerning the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and how he could make his music more ‘spiritual,’” noted Crouch’s Facebook administrator.
“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...joined hands and sang together, and he said, ‘it was beautiful.’ He first heard it in New York, 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.”
As to whether or not the legendary singer had prayed to receive Christ, through his spokesman Crouch responded: “He did NOT reject Jesus or the prayer when (we) prayed, and gladly joined in prayer.”
Whatever Michael Jackson was at the end, he has already by now been asked to give an accounting to the Creator.
The question really should be - Are you a Christian?
The answer is?
