Carolyn Singleton Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

To begin with brothers and sisters, Christian Friends, Well Wishers, Saints of God and to this Bereaved Family, It gives me a great sense of poise, purpose, and perspicacious duty to eulogize my beloved member Sister Carolyn Singleton.

Once again death has invaded the ranks of our Christian community. And this hour of the day has come and Our hearts are hurting but our Spirits have hope and where there’s hope we can experience Godly healing for our hurts. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal. Turn it over to the Lord.

I can’t stand here and profess to know how you feel, but as your pastor, I feel your hurts and pains too because I loved Sis Singleton and for me and this is a hard pill to swallow.I had to pray about this so that I could be strong for you all.

And I heard this right down in my spirit-man when tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me. I wish so much that you wouldn’t cry the way you did today; While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I now how much you love me as much as I love you; and each time that you think of me I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me Please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. She said my place was ready in heaven far above; and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye; For all my life, I’d thought I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for My children grand children great grand children great great grandchildren, it seemed almost impossible to leave them behind; but the angel said tell the family it’s ok because I’m with the Lord and I’ve changed my address to heaven.Somebody said What’s the address” and I imagine him saying It’s at 12 Gates to the City Hallelujah Avenue in New Jerusalem, Heaven 77777. And if you want to see me again,2x make sure you know the Lord in the pardon of your sins. And family when tomorrow starts without me don’t think that we’re far a part because I’ll be right here with you in your heart. And the church said Amen.

Brothers and sisters there was never a time that I visited Sister Singleton in the hospital and she was ever! there by herself. This family was there. If you want to see love in action just look at this family. And If Love could have kept her here, she’d still be here. And the church said Amen. And so out theme text says in Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

I need to add some integrity to the text and deal with it for a few minutes.

1. I heard a voice from heaven meaning that there will be some talking going on up in heaven. And if we listen we can hear from heaven too. because the word of God says Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. We hear from God by hiding His word deep down in our hearts. And the church said Amen.

2. The word of Power says Write, Comma, And that means pause right there and understand what Write means. Let me see if I can explain it “You and I want the word Write to be in the text because The bible says only those whose names are written down in the Lamb’s book of Life will have Eternal Life”. Sister Carolyn Singleton’s name was written down in the Lamb’s book of Life a long time ago. Church ask me privately about the word Write in the book of Revelation and I’ll give you a full explanation but for the sake of time

3.the Word says Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; First of all it says the Blessed and Blessed in the Greek vernacular is the word Markarios and Markarios means to be supremely blest; to be extensively blest and extremely happy. Moma is more happier now than she’ve ever been. Her body died I’ve been told but we lost a mother with a heart of gold.

The Poem Mother says We lost a mother with a heart of Gold How much we miss her can never be told. She shared our troubles and helped us along, if we follow her footsteps, we will never go wrong.

We miss her from her favorite chair,Her loving smile and gentle air. Her vacant place, no one can fill, we miss our Mother, and always will. She was a Mother so very rare, Content in her home and always there. On earth she toiled, in Heaven she rests. God Bless you Mother,you were one of the best.

We all loved Sister Singleton and as sick as she was, she always was concerned about everybody else. She had a gift for making people feel welcome. She had a warmth, a care and a thoughtfulness that was contagious and you just wanted to be around her.

4. Revelation 14:13 in the c clause says “Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; The Spirit in the text is Jesus Christ’s other self and It’s proper name is the Hagios Punema which is the Holy Ghost. And so the Holy Ghost said Sister Carolyn Singleton you worked and kept your family together. She had a long conversation with me about how she would work and believe God that He was going to see the family through whatever they were faced with. And I here to say that all the children turned out good. And the church said Amen. She deserves her heavenly rest. because the Apostle Paul saith in 2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

5. Lastly the text says in Revelation 14:13 and their works do follow them. Their works follow them. I’m convinced that your life preach your funeral. And Sister Singleton life has inspired so many.

And her works do follow her. I’ve been here 23 years and I never heard nobody say nothing bad about Sister Carolyn Singleton.

And so as I leave you here today it is more than fitting to say um um that a soldier of the Cross has gone on home um um um . Yes.

And once upon a time yes there was a woman who was beautiful inside and out. and one day she had a visitor . He said I’m and angel of the Lord and the woman said why are you here? um and the angel said I’m here to tell you that your years your months and your days are all numbered by the Lord. Um um um yes.

And some years later the angel came back and the woman said Mr. Angel why are you here, and the angel said your years your months and your days are all numbered by the Lord, and then he said so make sure you have your business fixed with the Lord. Um Um Um. And then in the woman’s golden years the angel came back and said It’s time to pack up and move out of here. um um um On the other day I heard the angel say Sister Carolyn Singleton you fought an good fight you’ve kept the faith and you’ve run your last race, Oh Lord therefore there is a crown of righteousness laid up just for you. Because the bible says Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord

Yes and I heard Sister Carolyn say I’m going home!!! to be with the Lord. Yes She said I’m joining the heavenly choir and Shiloh they gave me a long white robe that fits me so nice. um um They gave me some golden slippers and they feel good on my feet because you got shoes I got shoes all of God’s children got shoes today yes. And Sister Carolyn said and they gave me some brand new wings so I could Fly Away Fly Away Flyyyy Away and be at rest. She said I’m going where the wicked shall cease from troubling and the wearied shall be at rest.

Oh Lord She resting in the arms of Jesus because the bible says Absent from the body is present with the Lord.

Sister Carolyn said 5th One of these old days 1 One of these old days when it’s His to call and mine to answer I’ll be listening for my name . I want to hear the Lord says Servant! 4x Well Done!!!! Yes
