I am an intercessor, which means I pray a lot. I have had prayer "burdens" for Michael Jackson since I was about 12 years old after I went to see the Jackson 5 in concert. I think he was about 10 at the time. (Very long time ago) For the past 2 or 3 years I have been praying for him. About a couple of days before he died I prayed for him all day long. I kept getting a very uneasy feeling. I kept praying for him to be kept safe and for God to intervene in whatever was going on. When I heard the news of his "death" I was stunned and very grieved. I immediately asked God to forgive me for not praying until I had total peace. This usually means in prayer, that the prayer has been answered. When I prayed this, an OVER WHELMING sence of peace came over me. It was odd because the peace would mean the prayer was answered. Yet, it was contrary to what I was hearing in the news. God shows me a lot of things in prayer and I do not always understand what they mean. Since then I have been drawn to the possibility that he was not "dead". My biggest concern is that so many idolize him, if he does a comeback many would worship him.I pray this does not happen. He is just a man with great talent.
I guess my question is...are there other intercessors out there that were also "called" to pray for Micahel Jackson that may have experienced similar things?

I know there has to be a lot of people out there that were praying for Michael prior to his "death." Thanks for your post. I have read threads in other places where people say they have experienced peace reguarding the whole situation. It is going to be interesting to see how it all plays out.
I know the Word says There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed and nothing covered up that will not be brought to light. God's Word will not return to Him void but will accomplish what it has been sent out to do. Whenever I need to get to the bottom of something this is what I pray. It has never failed to bring results!
I honestly wish I could say that I had a burden for him before June 25th. Maybe I did and did not realize it. I had started looking up youtube videos and songs and reliving memories only two weeks before. I was surprised at myself for how hard I was taking the news. Weeks went by and I could not get over it.
My mom (who is about 49 yrs old) told me that she did have a burden and it came from no where. She heard "Pray for Michael Jackson,he has the heart of David and he is searching for me". So she did until she felt peace. Then one night the same thing happened. She didnt ever think about a death or feel that there was death. After June 25th,she was like me about the whole thing and told me the story. She said she hoped she prayed enough. Before I started looking deeply into the hoax ,I did ask God for me not to be going into a obsessive waste of time, I do not feel that I have,and I do pray that wherever he is that he is safe and does have peace.
Thank you for sharing so much information. I know that when something "big" is going on God always raises up many people to pray. We all may get different perspectives on what we are praying about. He showed me things over the past 3 years that I still do not understand. I really debated on whether I should create this post or not. After I did I felt a sense of joy, and heard very clearly in my spirit the Lord say "You are a witness." I have been praying for others for about 25 years or more. This is the first time I have ever heard anything like this. If you have any insight into what this means, please let me know.
One thing that really stood out to me, was the fact that the dead ? body of MJ, was wrapped in a white sheet, just like Jesus. That was a dead give away....the had the coroners blue bag, but notice how they didn't use it, cause they wanted all of us to see it. Another big clue is the no. 7 that everyone talks about........this is the biblical meaning of 7.
Seven, by Itself
But now turning to the number Seven, we must first consider the meaning of the word.
In the Hebrew, seven is (ba#$e (shevah). It is from the root (ba#$&af (savah), to be full or satisfied, have enough of. Hence the meaning of the word "seven" is dominated by this root, for on the seventh day God rested from the work of Creation. It was full and complete, and good and perfect. Nothing could be added to it or taken from it without marring it. Hence the word tba#$af (Shavath), to cease, desist, rest, and tb@af#$a Shabbath, Sabbath, or day of rest. This root runs through various languages; e.g., Sanscrit, saptan; Zend., hapta; Greek, epta (hepta); Latin, septem. All these preserve the "t," which in the Semitic and Teutonic languages is dropped out; e.g. Gothic, sibun; German, sieben; English, seven.
It is seven, therefore, that stamps with perfection and completeness that in connection with which it is used. Of time, it tells of the Sabbath, and marks off the week of seven days, which, artificial as it may seem to be, is universal and immemorial in its observance amongst all nations and in all times. It tells of that eternal Sabbath-keeping which remains for the people of God in all its everlasting perfection.
In the creative works of God, seven completes the colors of the spectrum and rainbow, and satisfies in music the notes of the scale. In each of these the eighth is only a repetition of the first.
Then Jesus was ressurected........wow....unbelievable how clever he is.
But like many of you, I was inexplicably drawn to his death but more importantly his life. Through all of you, I discovered an incredible human being whose music was the least important of his talents or his purpose here on earth.. I have waited to post any response until I saw this topic.
I will state that I’m not a religious person but extremely spiritual. I strongly believe that my life has often been guided by prayer and that my prayers have often been answered through others. There are no coincidences in life. For some divine reason, I think all of us who are attracted to the events starting with June 25 also have a mission to accomplish and perhaps this event has triggered that. I have attempted to not make a judgment concerning whether Michael is alive or dead, but rather what my purpose is in connection to his life and/or death.
There are 2 bible verses that are continually in my mind when I read your postings in relation to Michael’s life.
I hope these don’t offend anyone, as I said I’m spiritual…not religious. I will quote from the King James just because I think the language is beautiful.
So if Michael has a spiritual connection to God, why did he encounter the horrible mistreatment and why would God allowed it? I refer to the incredible Joseph of the Old Testament who I believe is more akin to Michael’s life than the Messiah (but Joseph is also a prototype of the Messiah.)
I will not go into the background and hope that you will do so, but when Joseph is reunited with his family who has sold him into slavery many years ago, this is his explanation. Please understand that “family” in this sense is not biological family but the world in general…meaning all of those who betrayed Michael.
Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.[/b]
The other verse that comes to mind as we talk about when or if Michael will appear is the following:
Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
I think in Michael’s life, this is what is occurring right now. However, understand that what God has for Michael for restoration may not be what we want.
Again, I think that everyone who is a believer in the hoax is also in the midst of restoration. I have minimized the time I’ve spent in wondering about return dates, trying to find additional hoax data, etc. I’m focused on what this means to and in my life. What is it that I need to do to emulate the servant that Michael was? How can I perpetuate the message of love, truth and yes…forgiveness that Michael lived and believed? If I don’t do this, this I think we have all missed the greatest message of Michael Jackson’s life and the purpose of his being.
I have implemented small changes, but I think for all of us there is something greater than even we can imagine. I maintain an open heart.
Thank you so much for this! What a beautiful post!
Thanks for that! Yes He surely will
But back on topic..I do pray for Michael and his family. Prayer changes things. I put my faith in God not in mankind because they will fail you almost everytime. So, I pray for his safety, his health, his mind, and most of all his soul. I also pray for his and his families strength. And I pray for his fans and my hoax family members because we need it to continue to press on in love and truth.
simply amazing!
I agree with you! My life has extremely changed with his "death". I was not aware of things, but God brought me to the light. I even rededicated my life to Christ. I pray for Michael and I know that God has something greater for him that we and he might not be aware of. I believe that this is not a coincidence, but its a divine appointment from God. Me too, I am not religious at all. I have definitely become more spiritual and more connected with God than ever before.
So many people have similar stories. God is truly involved in this. It will be amazing to see what comes out of it. The Word says "All things work together for Good those that love the Lord and are called according to His will and purpose." It's great to hear how many people are turning and seeking the Lord because of this! Angels are rejoicing!
It is encouraging to hear how many people He (God) has raised up to pray for this situation. I can't wait to see the final result.
I'm in continual prayer about this because I don't think with my finite mind and even with the faith of a mustard seed, that I can possibly understand what it can be. I only know that I feel a constant urge to pray and all of these responses to your original "prayer" message confirms that others are feeling the same thing.
Maybe what Michael is asking for are prayer warriors to see him through this difficult time and whatever is in the future. If it is as big as I think it is, I can't even imagine the physical and spiritual obstacles he may encounter.
I would be interested in your thoughts--
Thanks so much for your testimonials and your affirmations.
- Always growing in the knowledge of His love.
Oh Thanks Neverlandprincess
I really think we all have carried a burden for Michael in our subconscious.
Michael has been embedded in our hearts. I think most people felt Michael's pain.
Most of us never knew Michael personally or not got the chance to meet him.
But something connected us him to him in a spritual way.
Thank you so much for this post! What a beautiful prayer for Michael and the members of this site. It was a delight to read this. Many blessings to you!
Thank you for this. It is so encouraging to hear different experiences of what God is doing in all of this. By the way, welcome back! God's always been right there with you, watching over you and protecting you. Many blessings to you in the coming year!
Thanks so much! Your posts are refreshing and encouraging. I sent you a private message. You can access it at the top of the page!
