The Mother of Elvis Presley
The mother of Elvis Presley was named Gladys Love. She was a Christian who raised up Elvis in a conservative family. It is noted that Elvis Presley was taken to Church and taught to sing in the choir. Elvis learned about the importance of Christianity and became better. He improved in his musical talent.
It is also noted that Elvis was born to a conservative family with modest resources. While Elvis Presley did not have material resources, he did have discipline and structure. Elvis' life describes that the family structure is important. Elvis grew up learning about integrity and morality.
Growing up, he worked jobs. Elvis Presley worked different jobs and learned the value of work. Presley then was tempted to work for the accuser when he went to record a cd for his mother's birthday. While singing in the recording studio, he was scouted by a recording manager who offered him a contract to make rock music... (yet the actual reason for his contract was to tempt him to learn occultism and practice disobedience. Individuals are not pieces of paper and the actual purpose of the faustian deal is to lead to disobedience. The actual purpose is to tempt to the practice of sin through fame, wealth, or the ilusion of "power").
Elvis Presley's mom was probably not happy about Elvis straying from the path of life into disobedience with fame and money. His mother probably did not like that Elvis was famous and in the rock and roll lifestyle. We learn that Elvis strayed from the path of life by choosing to believe the lies of the snake. He said he was lucky to have been discovered when in fact he was being tempted. His mother knew that money and fame are not substitutes for the worship of GOD Almighty. I think she remained a Christian throughout her life. We can acknowledge that we can not have negative emotions when family members choose to stray. Elvis' mother did the best she could and can not be blamed for Elvis' choice. She still raised him right. This is seen in children of pastors who are tempted to disobedience because of the zeal of pastors (i.e. W.C. Handy became a blues musician when he was raised a Christian in order to lead to disobedience and discouragement. He made blues instead of making Gospel music). This also describes why its not the best of times to have relationships. Since the snake can not deceive humble and zealous individuals, it goes after their children or family members. Elvis was deceived and decided to stray from the faith. We can persist without negative emotions knowing each person has autonomy. GOD Almighty does not force anyone to worship by force. We can persist acknowledging that while the snake tempts close relatives, there are also other individuals who repent of sin and choose King Jesus Christ. There are also great grandparents, grandparents, and family members from past centuries that persisted with eternal salvation. We can persist knowing we choose King Jesus Christ over the lies of the snake. We choose King Jesus Christ over idolators (un-related or not). (There are pictures of Elvis with his mother after Elvis became famous, and she does not look happy. She cared more about Elvis' faith than his wealth and fame. We can acknowledge that there are Christian individuals that choose GOD Almighty over fame and wealth.)
