- What the church doesn't
address, when we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior,
we are targeted by Satan to be destroyed. Watch how Satan went
about that in Elvis' case. 1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour:" 1 Corinthians 5:5 If
you wonder if Elvis was saved? Obviously he believed in Jesus
Christ but was uninformed. 1 Corinthians 5:5 God's remedy: "To
deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh,
that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."
Romans 8:2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ
Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."

Presley's final message was even more powerful than his music.
According to his fiancée (who found his body), his final
thoughts were about Jesus, as he was reading a book titled, "A
Scientific Search for the Face of Jesus." What can the King
of Rock and Roll teach us about the King of Kings?

Presley
died in August 1977 at his Graceland estate at the age of 42.
He shared:"I wasn't
popular in school ... I failed music-only thing I ever failed.
And then they entered me in this talent show ... when I came
onstage, I heard people kind of rumbling and whispering and so
forth, 'cause nobody knew I even sang. It was amazing how popular
I became in school after that. Presley, who could not read music,
played by ear and frequented record stores that provided jukeboxes
and listening booths. He knew all of Hank Snow's songs. and he
loved records by other country singers such as Roy Acuff, Ernest
Tubb, Ted Daffan, Jimmie Rodgers, Jimmie Davis, and Bob Wills.
The Southern gospel singer Jake Hess, one of his favorite performers,
was a significant influence on his ballad-singing style.
Presley regularly attended
the monthly all-night singings downtown, where white gospel groups
performed music influenced by African American spirituals. Presley
listened to regional radio stations, such as WDIA, that played
what were then called "race records": spirituals, blues,
and the modern, backbeat-heavy rhythm and blues.] Like some of
his peers, he may have attended blues venues only on nights designated
for exclusively white audiences. Many of his future recordings
were inspired by local African-American musicians such as Arthur
Crudup and Rufus Thomas.
By the time he graduated
from high school in June 1953, Presley had singled out music
as his future. Presley's earliest musical influence came from
gospel. His mother recalled that from the age of two, at the
Assembly of God church in Tupelo attended by the family, "he
would slide down off my lap, run into the aisle and scramble
up to the platform. There he would stand looking at the choir
and trying to sing with them." In Memphis, Presley frequently
attended all-night gospel singings at the Ellis Auditorium, where
groups such as the Statesmen Quartet led the music in a style
that, Guralnick suggests, sowed the seeds of Presley's future
stage act:
- "He went about
as far as you could go in gospel music," said Jake Hess.
As Stoller put it, "He certainly knew a lot more than we
did about country music and gospel music. At a press conference
the following year, Elvis proudly declared, "I know practically
every religious song that's ever been written."
Posthumous developments
Between 1977 and 1981,
six of Presley's posthumously released singles were top-ten country
hits. Graceland was opened to the public in 1982. Attracting
over half a million visitors annually, it became the second-most-visited
home in the United States, after the White House. The residence
was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2006.
Presley has been inducted
into seven music halls of fame: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
(1986), the Country Music Hall of Fame (1998), the Gospel Music
Hall of Fame (2001), the Rockabilly Hall of Fame (2007), the
Memphis Music Hall of Fame (2012), the National Rhythm &
Blues Hall of Fame (2015), and the Mississippi Musicians Hall
of Fame (he was also one of the founding members of the defunct
UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005). In 1984, he received the W. C.
Handy Award from the Blues Foundation and the Academy of Country
Music's first Golden Hat Award. In 1987, he received the American
Music Awards' Award of Merit.
In the first half of
the decade, three of Presley's soundtrack albums were ranked
number one on the pop charts, and a few of his most popular songs
came from his films, such as "Can't Help Falling in Love"
(1961) and "Return to Sender" (1962). From 1964 to
1968, Presley had one top-ten hit: "Crying in the Chapel"
(1965), a gospel number recorded in 1960. As for non-film albums,
between the June 1962 release of Pot Luck and the November 1968
release of the soundtrack to the television special that signaled
his comeback, one LP of new material by Presley was issued: the
gospel album How Great Thou Art (1967). It won him his first
Grammy Award, for Best Sacred Performance. As Marsh described,
Presley was "arguably the greatest white gospel singer of
his time [and] really the last rock & roll artist to make
gospel as vital a component of his musical personality as his
secular songs"
- Presley is one of the
best-selling music artists in history, having sold an estimated
500 million records worldwide. He was commercially successful
in many genres, including pop, country, rock and roll, rockabilly,
rhythm and blues, adult contemporary, and gospel. Presley won
three Grammy Awards, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement
Award at age 36, and has been posthumously inducted into multiple
music halls of fame. He holds several records, including the
most Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)-certified
gold and platinum albums, the most albums charted on the Billboard
200, the most number-one albums by a solo artist on the UK Albums
Chart, and the most number-one singles by any act on the UK Singles
Chart. In 2018, Presley was posthumously awarded the Presidential
Medal of Freedom. (Source Wikipedia)

deity, Elvis Presley would say a prayer before going on stage,
reading the Bible and looking to God for guidance in everything
he did. "When we saw him bow his head, then we knew,"
Billy Stanley, who also worked for the singer, told the
Observer, noting that Presley did not recite the prayer aloud.
"It was probably about 15 seconds long. I asked him once,
'Why do you say the prayer before?' He said: 'It kind of settles
my nerves but also I want God to help bless this concert, so
make it a good one.'

Yes, Elvis Presley was a devout
believer in God. Raised in the Assemblies of God denomination
and baptized at a young age, he maintained a deep, lifelong faith
rooted in Christianity and often leaned on prayer and Scripture
during his struggles. While his fans worshipped him as a rock'n'roll
deity, Elvis Presley would say a prayer before going on stage,
reading the Bible and looking to God for guidance in everything
he did, his stepbrother has recalled.
"When we saw him bow his head, then we knew," Billy
Stanley, who also worked for the singer, told the Observer, noting
that Presley did not recite the prayer aloud. "It was probably
about 15 seconds long. I asked him once, 'Why do you say the

Elvis Presley was
not only the King of Rock 'n' Roll - he was also a man
deeply influenced by the church and connected to the Gospel. |
Raised in an Assembly
of God church, Elvis grew up singing hymns long before stepping
onto a stage. Gospel music was not merely a phase-it was the
foundation of his life. He often said it was his favorite type
of music to perform.
Elvis recorded several gospel albums, including How Great Thou
Art and He Touched Me, both of which earned Grammy Awards. Friends
later shared that he often spent late nights reading the Bible,
praying, and singing hymns in private.
Was he perfect? No. Elvis struggled with fame, temptation, and
personal challenges, just as many people do. Yet his struggles
do not erase his faith. Instead, they remind us that faith in
God does not remove conflict-it reminds us of our constant need
for grace.
Elvis once said, "I know I'm not perfect, but I believe
in God, and I try to live by His Word."
The same grace that met Elvis is available to us today. FACEBOOK |
