Why Elvis's Final Thoughts Were about Jesus (According to Witnesses)

[@thelittlemrs]

“I am not the King. Jesus Christ is the King. I’m just an entertainer.” - Elvis Presley

[@michaelmclean5581]

That’s awesome if he really said that!

[@evermoremystic17]

The poor man. 😢 How many times did he live that truth though? Hope he rests in peace.

[@markarnoldkp]

@@michaelmclean5581 He did. He was performing in the 70's and during his singing a group of young college girls who purchased seats near the front stood up holding a long banner that they made. The banner said "Elvis you will always be the King". Elvis saw this because they were literally right in the front of the stage. Elvis stops singing mid song and says. "I am not the King. There is only one King and His name is Jesus Christ" The girls were embarrassed and sat down and Elvis went on singing again. This is a true occurrence that is documented and witnessed. Elvis hated being called the king of rock and roll. He always said that Jesus was the only King. Now whether Elvis was saved I cannot say. He did profess faith in Jesus and was baptised but his lifestyle was very sinful. Only God knows if Elvis truly believed.

It’s a good message brother. Elvis was an idol to many, myself included. I’d been an Elvis fan my whole life and five minutes into that movie, I could watch it no more. It’s pure fantasy, nothing more. Or maybe I’m just losing my desire for many things of this world since discovering Christ. Jesus is the only One worthy of worship, amen.

I recently searched how Elvis was discovered dead. Terrible. The music business is not good for people. They create stars and give them millions, but in exchange these stars often pay for it with their life. People should stop going crazy for celebrities. It’s not good for them.

These videos are always very meaningful to me, I think about the Star Trek one very frequently! Btw the heretic Arius also died on a toilet, or rather a latrine, during his parade while returning after the Council of Nicea. The historical account is quite graphic, lots of blood and prolapse and even falling into the latrine, after the minister Alexander prayed that God would not allow Arius to return with his heresy. It's a gross yet amazing snapshot in history

Gladys was a good mother, but she is the one who took him to the churches. They did attend black churches and he did sing in the choir. In his later years, it wasn't just his entourage who kept supplying him with drugs, but his own Christian friends who did not witness to him. Rather, J.D. Sumner, one of his Christian friends who lead the group The Stamps Quartet, when Elvis came to him asking him if he needed to repent for his life of debauchery, J.D. Sumner told him he was a good Christian. All of the famous singers from the 1950s had Christian families and upbringings. Both Little Richard and the later Disco star Harry Casey had Pentecostal preachers as fathers. Even Denzel Washington's father is Pentecostal. It has nothing to do with them being Pentecostal, but that these men were told they were the greatest and fame overtook them. That is why the Bible says "a good name is rather to be chosen than riches".

Thank you brother David. I think I judged you one time when you spoke at a church in my city, and during the worship time I peeked to see if you were raising your hands to praise God and you weren't. As if the level of one's hands during a song indicates a person's level of holiness. Anyway, I've been backsliding for a while now and the Lord continues to remind me I need to give myself (and others) to Him. Thanks for making and posting this needed message. The Father seeks those who worship in Spirit and truth. Thank you for doing so, through sharing the gospel (which is the message of the cross and the power of God) and remaining steadfast.
