Something has been really bothering me lately and I have been struggling with this within my spirit for quite sometime. What I am about to write may upset others, it may even make some mad at me but, I DO NOT CARE.
First, I grew up listening, watching and loving the Jackson 5 and Micheal my whole life. When he passed away, I cried as if he was a part of my family. In many ways, he was.
But, one thing which breaks my heart about his death is this: Do people realize how short one's life truly can be? Do people realize that you can be alive and well one day and the next day YOU ARE DEAD! Do people know where they are going to spend eternity when they leave this earth? Do they?
Do you?
My daughter asked me if God was trying to tell us something with Micheal Jackson's death. I said, "yes. This is a wake-up call for people to realize that seeing the next day is not guaranteed". After all, when you wake up, (and here is a little dose of truth), you do not wake yourself up, GOD is the one who wakes you up. This is the truth my friends.
God is the one who decides if you will open your eyes or not.
Do you thank Him when you do open your eyes.? Do you thank Him for allowing you to see another day on this earth? If not you should! God is the one,
the only one, who controls every breath that you take. GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you know where you will spend eternity? Will it be in heaven or in hell? Are you in right standing with God? Or are you against God?
Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into you life?
These questions must be answered before it is to late. The time is NOW!!!!!! Where you spend eternity after you die depends upon it. Will you go to Heaven where you will never be hungry or thirst again? Where there will be no more sorrow or pain?
16Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat. 17For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." (Revelation 7:16, 17)
Or in Hell where the fire never goes out and you cry out in pain, misery and torture:
49This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matt 13:49-50)
You have this one life to decide where you will spend eternity: "
Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment," (Hebrews 9:27) You have the choice to make. No one else can make it for you.
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him." (John 3:36)
I pray that if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior that you will do so today. The one thing I pray people have learned from the death of Micheal Jackson is tomorrow is not promised to you. Decide today where your soul will spend eternity:
Heaven or Hell.
Make the decision today to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior today.
Simply pray this prayer:
Dear God, I know that I’m a sinner and that my sin separates me from You. I realize that I can’t do anything to earn my way into heaven. I believe that Jesus took the punishment for my sins by dying on the cross and coming back to life. I accept Him as my Savior and Lord. And I will try my best to please You all the days of my life. Thank You for forgiving me and saving me now. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, Welcome to God's Family!
I would love to hear from you.
Grace and Peace

3 Reader Thoughts:
The time is now! So take a stand now! (But the decision to follow Christ is one of the heart and mind together, and not one of any cynic intellect. So one will come to it ...)
I believe Michael Jackson did a great job for artists and for African Americans by his work and by the blowing up of borders. He was truly gifted. I wish he had devoted himself to Jesus. The good Lord will judge his person.
Quite another matter: Your background is nice (you ask). But I really like the new look of your blog. It is splendid! (And I like your smile in the photos. It is splendid too! :-) ).
HAVE A LOVELY DAY
Notice come and notice stay,
compliments take you away.
Light and water make you gay.
I wish you a lovely day!
Amen, amen.
Hi Valerie! Great word! I love the boldness which you've 'preached' this message. It truly is the most important decision a person will ever make. Blessings!
