Was Michael Jackson a Missed Spiritual Opportunity?

Michael paid a great price for his riches and fame yet throughout his life feeling the pressure on his heart of being a childhood celebrity, and yet dying feeling grievously sad with a brokenhearted.

I believe in the age we are living in, the church world is becoming more like the world and the world more like the church. In some cases the world is doing a better job sometimes with displaying spirituality in music, television shows and movies sometimes it's just wrapped up in hidden subliminal messages.

Michael Jackson died of a cardiac arrest physically, but spiritually he died of broken heartedness. When something is broken-Forcibly fractured into two or more pieces, the Hebrew word Sha-bar used in Isaiah 61:1 utilizes this word, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted...."

What were these dangerous blows or pressures of life over time that can cause a final cardiac arrest or the human heart to be so broken it stops working? A few of the dangerous crushing blows and pressures of Michael's life were:

1. Child neglect emotionally robbed of his childhood because selfish and greedy adults wanted to get rich off his talent at the expense of sacrificing his boyhood. A child needs to be a child; recognize their needs even though their kids. You see, you can overlook the essential needs of a human being if you tamper with God's creation and it becomes a broken, grieved and lonely spirit.

Many times Michael was told you can't go out and play you need to stay in the studio and fulfill society's needs and wants with your musical talent and abilities. The end result for Michael Jackson is being a child in a man's body never growing up healthy emotionally, but with an extremely highly developed and creative musical talent.

2. He Lived around many who show no genuine and sincere love, this excludes those that were the few that Michael Jackson felt their pure and unselfish love. The essential element is love not having genuine love will break or place pressure on the human heart. Constantly giving yourself to others through your talent, music, self-expression, energy, creativity, but because most people that surround you looked at your, fame and accumulation of wealth and material things always being around you for the wrong motives.
