Elvis telling his fans that Jesus Christ is the King

- I'm sure many Elvis fans have heard this story before. But I'm guessing not a lot have heard it from the man himself... Well here it is.
Elvis said this on more than one occasion. According to Tony Brown a former member of Voice in the documentary "He Touched Me - The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley" he stopped a concert in the middle of a song when a large banner was held up and told them "Jesus Christ is the King" well that story is from the same arena this concert is from, but Elvis's comment here is much different and he says this straight after finishing a wild version of Fever and not during a song as the story goes. So I'm guessing it was one of the other two concerts he made at South Bend or Tony's memory is a little bad, either way the point Elvis implies is the same. J.D Sumner also said Elvis did the same thing in Vegas at the conclusion of a concert when a woman gave him a small pillow with a crown on it, unfortunately he didn't give any indication to the date this occurred. The only audio available of the concert in this video is an audience recording (hence: the reason for the poor quality) but I'm sure you all can understand what's been said.

Elvis loved the Lord and I think this is especially lovely because he didn't really embarrass that young woman...he thanked her and acknowledged the sentiment while making it clear that he was just a man and not someone to be worshiped.
Well said.
Yes, such grace he showed, like a good Christian!
Elvis never set out to embarrass anyone. In fact, at times I think he was far too patient with people. But, that one of the things we love about him…his ‘humanity’ and his ‘humility’.
Elvis was so right and I love him for paying tribute to his saviour Jesus. I love you Elvis
Yes, Jesus Christ is the King!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes He Is, thank you Brother.
Elvis is the coolest. Imagine an artist today or even in in his day, actually saying this and believing it. He had so much class. I love Elvis he is simply the greatest.
Yes, and in all the concerts I attended, he always did a gospel song, and would tell the audience to listen and pay attention. Imagine that now!
@@abc-wv4in Maybe a few country singers might but that's it.
@abc what a great anecdote. It must have been wonderful to see him live! Which concerts did you go to and do you have any more memories you can share?
that’s so cool of elvis! but actually nowadays justin bieber does that too!
Amen!!!!!JESUS CHRIST IS THE KING!!!!!!!!And ONLY KING!!!!!!!!
I agree with Elivs . There's only one king and that's our Lord Jesus Christ .
Can you imagine any of the current crop of celebraties saying so humble? I can't either.
I imagine it couldve been easy peasy to slip into that holier than thou attitude because Elvis was adored by women and men and he made tons of money , However he managed to keep his feet on the ground and his head out of the clouds throughout all of his fame. And THAT alone speams volumes about this darling man ......ELVIS 💓
Amen ! ..Everyone falls short of perfect that is for sure.. but to have Jesus to plead your case is the miracle of Salvation...
Amen,Jesus Christ was is and always will be the only true King
AMEN!
At least, he’s a true figment of your imagination.
Frode Hansen in your opinion
Matthew H, no - in reality.
@@TheFrode69 prove it
Jesus is my King. I hope that as sick as he was, He turned to the Lord for help in His last days. I have a strong feeling he did. He was confused and tired. His mamma taught Him about Jesus. I never heard where He ever denied him or His existence.
I AM SO GLAD THIS HAS BEEN POSTED. STRAIGHT OUT OF MR.PRESLEYS MOUTH TO DISPELL ALL THE HATERS OUT THERE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE ELVIS GOOD NAMED BESMIRCHED. HA HA YOU LOSE. WE WIN . . . . THROUGH JESUS CHRISTS BLOOD . WIN X WIN X WIN. X
Amen, This is awesome. Elvis was polite to the lady but in front of thousands of his fans he said there is only one King. He wanted to let everyone know that he was a human being. A man who didn't want to be worshipped. Elvis said more than once that our Lord Jesus Christ is the only real King. I always say Elvis is the King of rock and roll but God is the King of the World.
Well this is the reason why is Elvis in different places and by that I mean above every singer and entertainer. He didn't call himself "I'm the King I'm the best" like someone else did and still do. That was given to him by the world and he didn't even accept it because he knew that there's only one King and that's GoD! Long live Elvis, you will never be forgotten ever!!!
Elvis was right when he said that. Amen Elvis! I always knew he felt that way, Glory to God!!! Praise Jesus Christ!!! Rip Elvis God's musician ~
The King, Jesus Christ!!! Thank you for sacrificing your only son, father God!!! Thank you, thank you very much!!! 😉😆
Elvis did not like being called the King. He knew who the real King of Kings was Jesus Christ. A I believe Elvis was real close to his Savior Jesus a he sung to about him w so much love respect a compassion.
I hope to meet Elvis in heaven one day..
Better to want to meet Jesus in Heaven...not Elvis.
+Marilu Perez
and Elvis wants you to hope to meet Jesus in heaven more...
+iamgmann1 THAT IS TRUE, BUT I NEVER GIVE UP HOPE
If you meet him it prob won't be there. U may want to check out good fight ministries on here and find out the truth about him.
Marilu Perez , me too , but first I want to meet Jesus Christ . 💗
Amen! Elvis believed in Jesus!
Elvis, I've loved you since I was ten, and although what I dreamed about would never have worked in a million years I still love you today. Hope you can read this where you are.
Shows he did not deny Jesus as his King Elvis loved Jesus a Jesus loved Elvis Elvis is Earths loss as He is now Heavens Gain rip brother I love a Miss you see you in Heaven.
Elvis witnessing to people during a concert.Elvis was the KING OF ROCK & ROLL.JESUS IS THE KING OF KINGS !!!!! OUR SAVIOR !!! PRAISE THE LORD !!!!!
Elvis Loved Jesus Christ the King❤️
I Love You Jesus and I Love You Elvis❤️❤️
and they say that Elvis sold his sold to Satan, Really? Elvis was a gift from God and they Loved each other! See how he did that, soft, thoughtful, kind yet told the world that Christ was the only King! Man do we need Elvis back!
I am so thankful to God He aloud us the time to have Elvis here on this earth, Elvis was and will always be the GREATEST entertainer this world will ever see! I know he is now singing again for the KING who gave him all his talent! RIP ELVIS, You are still luved and missed by many!
I love how politely he makes his point, he thanks the girl and lets her know he appreciates the thought before saying his piece. Typical of the man.
Jesus is GOD indeed..Precious and holy...we love you Jesus forever
It's so good to hear this statement in his own voice. I have heard about this statement many times. What a wonderful soul. So humble when his fans wanted to put him on a throne. He had a God given gift and he used that gift til his last days; first to praise God and secondly to entertain the world.
Like many: Loving him forever..Mary
Jesus is LORD! Elvis knew it, even with all his wealth and fame.
If a World Leader like Elvis Recognized this Humble thought, how people seem to struggle to Accept Christ as the Ultimate King and Savior. :-)
An extremely talented, humble, and GREAT GREAT man. Forever the KING.
The person who had that sign up, Elvis wouldn't take any credit that belongs to the Lord.
Thank you for sharing this testimony! Elvis did love the Lord and he gave Him the Praise for his talents! Oh but to hear Elvis sing live again! His voice rang beautifully especially when he sung Gospel songs!
his personal Bible was put on auction, the Bible has some biblical notes and highlights from the hand of Elvis himself, was a guy who read it constantly... no doubt a t one moment he accept Christ as the bible says.. a class man
+Cirex Music YES YOU'RE RIGHT
@Dosie Jenaro There is one of his Bibles at the Bible Museum in Washington, DC. I don't think it's the one with his notes, but I'm not sure. it's in a glass case there.
Am I the only person that sees the absolute hypocrisy in a celebrity owned Bible being auctioned for profit? The real issue is the owner of the Bible is being worshipped opposed to God.
They say that he died in a restroom for a heart attack and his last words were im going to bathroom and read”
When did he accept Jesus into his heart as his personal Lord and savior? I never heard that, and singing worship songs don't mean anything. It's all about a personal relationship and a change of lifestyle. I'm not saying that he never did, but I would certainly like to know if there is any evidence of him doing such a thing.
Way to go Elvis! :)
Jesus is our saviour. EAP WAS KING OF R&R
AMEN !!!
Such a precious interaction forever recorded in Elvis' tender expression. Class act reaction to a loving fan.
Elvis definitely had his priorities in order. Elvis was very polite to the fan, said thank you honey but there is only one King and that is Jesus Christ. I am just an entertainer. I believe that Elvis had his own special connection with God. Charlie Hodge and others said that Elvis never went any where without his Bible or a Bible, and that he read the Bible alot. This may exsplain why Elvis gave money and exspensive gifts to everyone around him and many strangers. In the Bible it talks about giving to those who have less and says to give with cheer. Everyone said that Elvis loved giveing money and gifts to others and it made him happy. Many people that Elvis gave to were total strangers.
Best!
Amen ! Elvis was smart and knew that Jesus Christ is the King !
way to go elvis jesus christ is king of kings lord of lords glory to god takecare evryone love u all godbless
This really shows how humble he was. ❤️
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BELOVED ELVIS WHO, IS WITH THE KING JESUS CHRIST, RIGHT NOW ALONG WITH MY MOTHER WHO SHARES YOUR BIRTHDAY
Elvis was such a Humble Man and he was right in what he said ! Awesome Post My Friend and Thumbs Up ! Thanks for the share Elvisplover
TCB DANNY
Faith love and Rock N Roll from the KING who is humble and knows Jesus is Lord! Elvis is in heaven BABY !!! WOO HOOOO!
A humble man before God is a great man before his piers!
My friend, being such an Elvis fan since I was 7, and being born the year after he passed, I agree with you 100%! Very well said!
1051days later,he died.But yet he lives on! Despite the drug problem and/or anything else,+the fact that he was a sinner--he was Redeemed,for he was Saved by Grace through Faith in Christ Jesus.This here was an honest statement of his faith (here, back in '74).Elvis was never afraid to testify to the Living God who saved him byJesus' death on the cross+His resurrection. May I always be as bold as Elvis was,I pray,to share Christ with others by the help of the Holy Spirit. Yes,Elvis is in Heaven!
You can get a bit of a hint that he was deeply spiritual... spent his life on a spiritual quest... by the fact that of the 700 or so songs he recorded, over 120 of them were gospel songs.
About the spiritual quest... I've seen a printed page with his writing on the bottom... he wrote... "God loves you. He loves you most when you sing."
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Did anyone else get goosebumps?
Well said Elgin..., Trust in Jesus and he will plead your case to the Father...
I really hope that Elvis made it. I read Larry Geller's book "If I Can Dream" and it showed that Elvis' personal beliefs about Jesus differed from the Bible. In fact, it shows how "new age" Elvis was with..numerology, various occult books etc. Anyway, I hope Elvis did realize that Jesus is the only way to heaven before he died and accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. I could see negative comments coming from people who haven't read Geller's book. Thankfully God is the judge.
I love u Elvis!!!
AMEN!!!!
Elvis had a beautiful voice, however, his heart was the most beautiful thing about him xxx
That’s beautiful
Am I the only one that's ever noticed that the people who are on another level when it comes to talent & character are always extremely humble & genuinely kind & good? They're not vain, conceited, or haughty like other enormously famous celebrities (of varying degrees of talent) who act too imporatant to be bothered with fans and bestow extraordinarily egotistical titles upon themselves, yet are no were near as talented, famous, or important as the good people.
This statement sums up Elvis life, in Jesus. Not hear say, straight from Elvis mouth.
BEAUTIFUL

Amen !! Elvis was human just like all of us. This customheatres person ,,what kind of skeletons are hiding in your closet?? I wonder, there is NO ONE that is perfect except the Lord/King himself. But Elvis is the KING of MUSIC no one will ever take that away from him. God Bless and till we meet again Elvis we LOVE YOU ♥
you tell them takecare godbless
lovely to hear
good comeback elvis
@sgtBilko75 Hi!! The sign, said he was THE KING ( I can confirm this since a friend from Notre Dame who attended that concert told me about it), not the King of Rock and Roll. So, with that in mind, and since Elvis knew he as not "the King", as stated in the banner, he reacted the way he did. I wish the tape was longer, so that it can also be confirmed that Elvis had to say it twice, to remove the banner, or else.
jery-----He was right in saying what he did to them.
Yes! Jesus is the only king. Elvis was humble.
that statement is so true
you get all these other performers claiming they are the king, but elvis always dismissed the title, and yet he is the one known by it.
God bless you :D)
Agree!!
True.
Amazing that you would criticize Elvis because he struggled in life and like so many, call Christians hypocrites. You see most Christians know that they aren't and never will be perfect until the day they die and come into the presence of the Lord. Elvis gave honor, praise and glory to Jesus because he knew Him.
Good man, Jesus is coming back soon to save us.
AMEN.
Looks like you have a comrade in arms as well & he, too, will scream & beg "God Help Me"..Yes you, Dylan, it's apparent you've not read that BOOK & apparently not set foot in a House of God. Thankfully, I've suffered things in my life that made me see & feel & know the blessings & mercy of God; His power that can touch our lives & we, ad imperfect humans do not know He has stepped into our lives until He has made things right for us. May God Bless You and make you know He is real.
Oops,God is not a respecter of persons
Elvis’ manager, Col. Tom Parker, said in a press conference shortly
after his death: “Elvis didn’t die. The body did. We’re keeping up the
good spirits. We’re keeping Elvis alive. I talked to him this morning
and he told me to 'carry on.’” (Elvis did not die and he wanted out. -
Col. Tom Parker. 1977) After hearing so many stories about the death of
Elvis Presley, I have decided to tell the world the real story on the
facts concerning that day in August, 1977. Yes, that day, the 16th of
August. Is it a coincidence that a person born on that January 8, first
month, eighth day, would perish on the 8th month and the 16th day?
Probably if two (2) people were born on that day it makes more sense.
You see, numerology always played an important part of my life and still
does today. So many people have written or spoke about my death as a
hoax. It was not a hoax! I decided to reinvent myself in the form of my
brother (Jesse Garon) and yes, Elvis Presley did die that day. But after
much searching for the right people, I found several people from
different states who I consider my most loyal and trustworthy friends.
To some people this book will be just another scandalous piece of
fiction, but when you are done I think you will think otherwise. I
always felt my brother deserved to live and what better way to let him
live his life than to end mine. I was lonely, depressed, in bad health
and my numerology chart said that this was the time for it to come to
end. Anyone who studies numerology will understand, those who don't may
want to look into it. All of the facts (and there are many) even the
experts will say they are more than coincidences. I no longer give away
Cadillacs or expensive pieces of jewelry because I am nothing more than a
man who had a very famous brother. I am not a great literate (I never
wrote my own songs), but I am not illiterate either. The perfect day
August 16, 1977, 1 + 9 + 7 + 7 = 24, my age backwards (42), the facts go
on and on. But my true reasons for the book are for my fans. My death
was not a hoax! To my fans, please forgive me, my brother deserved to
live, he was with me constantly (spiritually). My life would not be the
same had he lived at birth. This was my way of giving him life, and
corny as it sounds. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. He was a
loyal friend. But I will no longer stand by and have people like Gail
Brewer tell you stories that are pure fiction. This book written by a
true friend will help you realize why I did what I did. - The Truth
About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). My fascination with
the idea of a hoax about death was when Jim Morrison died July 3rd,
1971. Although I saw no correlation (he died at age 27) I was astounded
that as famous as he was the body was just closed up and shipped out.
Now I don't know all the facts concerning his death. I thought it
awfully strange that no autopsy was performed (or so I thought) and just
forgotten about. There were a lot of rumors about his death. I noticed
he was born on the 8th day. Born in 1944 = 1-8 and died in 1971 = 1-8.
Remember my comeback in 1968? 1+9+6+8 = 24. Obviously, I was no longer
24, so I reversed the age to 42. The next time that number had any
relevance was 1977 (1+9+7+7 = 24 when I would be 42. Numerology can and
does play an important part of my life and we knew that would have to be
the date. Most people if they know what to look for will find
significance in the forms of numbers in all of my movies! Example:
gravestone in " Loving You" (year) 1878 = ? (1+8+7+8 = 24). You have to
look at the movies. My hero James Dean died at the age of 24, but I was
on top of the world then and wanted to live. - The Truth About Elvis
Aron Presley In His Own Words. (2001). I will start about 1974 when the
thought first came to me about faking my death. I have always been
fascinated with the occult and other spiritual things. When I first saw a
wax dummy of myself made by a Mr. Cooper I was fascinated with it. For
some time I had thought if it was possible? Could I pull this thing off?
I had asked Mr Cooper if he could make another wax dummy for me. He
said he could. I in turn said I wanted him to do it and keep it strictly
confidential. When I had mentioned it to a very few close friends (Joe
Esposito, Larry Geller) they did not think I was serious. I was tired of
being Elvis Presley, my health was deteriorating. I just couldn't keep
up. My finances were floundering because of my daddy's poor business
ventures. I was at my wit's end. As the years progressed I had my ups
and downs which are pretty well documented in other books. I also had
two detectives from Colorado who I trusted immensely. Originally the
date was 1976 according to my numerology charts but I chickened out. A
pact was made on the grounds of Graceland one night, hands placed over
hands that this secret would never be spoken of outside this room. I
picked four (4) of us initially and to this day all have kept the
secret. I also know when this book reaches the bookstores people (my
loyal friends) will be heartbroken. They took care of me and convinced
others that I was no longer alive. In reality Elvis Presley died that
day and my twin brother "Jesse" came to life, living in hiding but as a
normal human being. I skip around because I am writing stream of
consciousness. My own Daddy bless his soul never knew the truth. Little
Lisa was told months later and explained to her she would not see me
much. The Colonel took this secret to his grave. Many people believe me
to still be alive but I was told in the beginning there would be no
contact in order for this to work. I go thru a lot of ups and downs
since 1977 and have lived in many states but I insisted I needed to be
in a warm climate. My personal thoughts are that my fans will
understand. That is very important to me. I just could not face myself
any more after seeing myself in the mirror and that is where Larry
Geller came in. He asked if he could write a book, and I gave him my
blessing. "If I Can Dream" is the title and I like his book. He had
filled my head with spiritual thoughts and made me believe we could pull
this off. If I had stayed longer I think I would have been booed off
the stage. That is why I chose the date 8-16-77. Do you know how many
famous people passed away on that date? The great Robert Johnson died on
8-16 and he was born in 1935! Babe Ruth, and Bela Lugosi and many
others. I must say I was very nervous that day 8-16. But it had to be
done before I went on the road where I would not have been able to pull
it off. Did you know there are secret compartments in Graceland that
very few people know about! A few like Vester would joke about my being
alive but no one took him serious. Many of my friends would ask if I
were still alive and they have their doubts but as it was I might have
died broke and just a shell of myself. I was given an injection that
looked like I was dead but the people closest to me knew better. Believe
me I had my doubts that this could be pulled off. But it did and I
became Jesse, just a poor white southern boy who didn't sing a lick of
anything. I feel bad my Daddy wasn't allowed to know but it just
couldn't be done. I better go now and collect my thoughts to tell you
the rest next time. - The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own

Are You Expecting Jesus Today Sung By Pastor Bob Joyce ruclips.net/video/0Z2PGuRs3lk/видео.html
Amen
I,agree in part with your response. One cannot live in sin,deny God,and then just join The Band wagon,at the last moment,like one would join a diet program.Yes,we as Christians may not drink,drug,and live like The Devil.However,all have sinned,and fallen short of The Glory Of God.Salvation once genuinely obtained does not get revoked,because of sin. Peter denied Jesus,and still remained his Rock. Elvis if he truly accepted our lord will enter Heaven,after The Judgement Seat Of Christ.
Elvis knew that our Lord JESUS CHRIST died for ALL of us on
that cross on Calvary! Truly the Son of GOD, he paid the ultimate price
for everyone of us and surely deserves to be called LORD!
If not-then pay the consequences yourself.
Allelulia! Amen!
Yahshua Ha Mashiach is King of Kings and Lord of Lord!
Ellis in his own words..yes he loves Jesus..I think he is in heaven..no doubt..isn't there a verse if a man confesses with his own mouth that Jesus is lord..he will be saved..
@MrJohnMark21 Most famous people die young because they either work too bloody hard (which typically results in strokes, bad diets, drugs, etc) or from pure misfortune (car crash, assassination, etc).
King Tut: age 18
Alexander the Great: 32
Mozart: 35
Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Ritchie Vallens: all under 25
In a way, it's a wonder Elvis did live for as long as he did though, considering the times... granted, 42 is still damn young...
I am certain, God forgave him for all the human frailities and errors for his openly declared, on-going, unshakable trust in Him. All my respect for the Man and tgratitude for the Artist!
I have heard of Elvis' generosity, his humility etc. but anything of his spiritual side????
Oir esto de elvis me quebranta al saber que en su corazón solamente estaba Dios apesar de sus adversidades
knew I SHOULDN'T have read these comments & while most of them are factual with the undertones of belief in GOD and HIS SON JESUS I can't leave here without saying to "Ipirian32" there will come a day soon when the thoughts you put into words here will surely haunt you & YOU WILL CRY OUT FOR FORGIVENESS. Elvis was a good Christian man; he never forgot from where he came or the struggles his parents had to deal with. He loved GOD & with every song he gave thanks thru his music but he was not King
☑️ Amen❕
it must be 01st Oct 74. because sept 30th is available in better quality. CD "Night Fever in Vegas"
I didn't say anything about "rejecting" God. I was just commenting on people's thinking on hell. And I do think a belief is a choice. You choose what you will believe based on what you see, study, live, etc. Anyway, I didn't mean to offend anybody.
Elvis was only a human being who had a beautiful voice and was the greatest entertainer and yes he was actually a Christian since birth if you know anything of his life. I personally may have my own beliefs on the subject but because you do not believe something does not mean Elvis Presley didn't.
and also he can be forgiven for all those things he did in life
agree
@highnote606 You mentioned that" it is naive to believe you can live a life full of sin and be saved at the end" It may be naive to believe this, but God doesn't think so, as is evidenced by the thief on the cross who not only lived a life full of sin, but was being crucified for doing so! And yet this man, at the last moment turns to Jesus, asks for forgiveness, and GETS IT. We underestimate the love of God.
@SunflowerContest I've done my research and it is the show he did on the 30th of Sep 74 and the only place this is available is on the "Burning Bright In Southbend" CD. The "Night Fever in Vegas" CD is the midnight show from the 30th of"August" not September. I have the 1st of Oct show from the Dragonheart CD. Source: elvisconcerts (dot) com
The banner said "Elvis is the King"
But not can we live in the past or can we? Alpha and Omega, the start and the end, in a never-ending circle, the impossible made possible, all through God... Yes, God is the only way. He remains the same, yet ever changing. God...
@pulmon66 He didn't say it twice. He just went straight into his routine band introductions. I deliberately left a few seconds on at the end so viewers could know that. Listen again to the end of the video he says "I would like to introduce you to the members of my group ...."
@TheGloriawilliams Which concert then? I know he said it numerous times but this is the only recording I've actually heard of him saying it.
I have heard him say that before, to me he's the king of rock 'n rock not the King like god is...
What actually happened is that the clip here has Presley asking another person to show him the sign, then the woman who kept the other sign after Elvis asked her tyo remove it, hollors at him, like saying why I am being left out? And that's when he says what he says...
