Bishop David L. Ellis - Victory Service

[@apostolicreturns]

I was there and they didn't turn anybody away because the people stood in front of the doors in packs and would not leave because of the great love he had for people, they were in the temple and all over the grounds. It was awesome seeing people standing outside in the cold weather just because they wanted to be there. As Spencer Said "they Could have had it at COBO Hall but he didn't Build COBO Hall." I personally, know that he believed that people should have homegoings where they served.

[@annetrabowman6438]

I was there I miss my pastor

[@mridgafwytowell1210]

One thing I love about us black folk we sure know how to have some good church

[@rayfordstrange1963]

This is the way a home going celebration for a man of God should be. When it comes my time to go, I want the people of God dancing up and down the aisles under the power of the precious Holy Ghost that has been mine since 1947. No need to be sad because I will be in that beautiful place called heaven. I didn't know the Bishop in this life but I look forward to hugging his neck on that golden shore just beyond that bright river.

[@lamaudelewis9866]

Amen

[@ShardyShardWagner24]

Rayford Strange amen

[@BrotherTaylor]

Old School church will NEVER lose its impact and value!!!!

[@myrajones3723]

[@timothyj.tipton7135]

They churched Bishop Ellis home!!!!!

[@BrothaRollins]

this is what you call a homegoing celebration!

[@dmoore76]

Yes, that is Bishop Brooks. I'm COGIC to the bone and I'm so glad that when a true saint of God goes home, we put denomination aside and praise God.

[@dennispearson871]

It Should be like this All The TIME !!!..

[@priestLM]

That The kind of funeral I want

[@gregowens658]

All those Great Pentecostal / Apostolic Fathers on one Pulpit and under one roof. My GOD from Zion . I remember being saved in 1968 and attending the PAW Conventions out of town , and at home in Indy and all of them were so very young , back in those days. LORD Please let us hold fast to our Great Heritage and Rich Doctrine that they lived and died for , in the Sweet and Precious Name of JESUS!!!!!!! Bro. Greg Owens(Indianapolis, IN)

[@deaveonehayes1090]

[@ProphetessStacey]

All these Apostolic Fathers in ONE VIDEO, wow!

[@bniceent]

14 years later it still bring tears to my eyes.. The only regret I have is that I never met Bishop Ellis!!!

[@Honesttalks287]

At first I was enjoying the song, and then I saw their Pastor, then I figured it was his home going ...wow. This was awesome...this is the way all saints should be sent off to be with our Savior...

[@pastord76]

Thank you so much for posting this. I am pastoring now but I was in the choir then at this service. March 19 and this day Mon March 25, 1996 was one of the hardest days I ever had experience besides my grandmother passing this past February I have not grieved so painly. Bishop (DOC) you are missed badly. What a man what visionary. What a leader. ONE LORD ONE FAITH ONE BAPTISM!

[@lindascott7815]

[@tonyajones8655]

It has been such a privilege to have been under the ministries of these souls given tous by heaven. I hope that the families of our angels know that we appreciated them and thank you for many times loaning them to us. Bishop Wagner we love you so much. Bishop Ellis we love you so much and all of those baptised into the Body by the Holy Spirit of God. I love you all so much. Dr. B. Smith Saginaw, MI

[@jazzlife1]

Detroit misses the Bishop!!!

[@Forevercogic]

Bless are the dead that die in the lord.

[@morticin3838]

I remember when I was just a teenager, a musician at our church died, she was very well known throughout our area, even in the next state over, this was the 1970s , her home going service was like this , jammed pack church, and all these musicians too turn on the organ and piano, and they sung and shouted, even the mortician and his staff was clapping and shouting, all old hymns and songs

[@ApostolicPreacher28]

Wow.. I miss my uncle Norman............a.k.a Bishop Norman L. Wagner.

[@denzeiltubbsministries]

So much power on that pulpit! Rest on Bishops Ellis, Wagner, & Abney. Then I see my Bishop (Paul A. Bowers) pops up at the end! Sing Bishop #ByandBy

[@ltrain2339]

YES SIR!!!!!!!

[@sandpast]

This video does something to me everytime I watch it

[@deaundreeturner3688]

A Pentecostal Praise Party!

[@bassplayerwife]

This was good to see Bishop D Rayford Bell in there. He was my Presiding Bishop he has gone in to be with the Lord.

[@Quon320]

I haven't heard Watch Ye Therefore since my great-grandmother 's homegoing celebration. Once that song was sung the Spirit of the Lord enveloped the church, Never in my memory do I remember a homegoing where the Spirit was as high as that day. I thank God for his presence! Thank you for this posting apostolicreturns

[@sirnick07]

I want people to rejoice like this at my funeral.

[@jermainemcginnis2176]

great man of god his homecoming was good every time I look at his video and my uncle Norman starting off the services singing I shall wear a crown then Bishop Ellis son singing then uncle William Ellis ends the songs bad boys of the paw

[@alethiabrown898]

@Greg Owens. ...yes there is no other way. ..Holiness without no man shall see God....I have to get back in place..😥

[@apostolicreturns]

Just checked that out and your right it is almost a prophetic image and it's very touching as well. these things don't just happen.

[@daraandeshields3528]

Now 👌 THAT'S 👍 how you celebrate at a homegoing!!

[@morticin3838]

Why don't they sing like this in church anymore, I don't know a thing about music, or any instruments, but I love to listen , you don't get these kinds of songs on Sunday morning it's either too high class, or all contemporary music, which is beautiful, but I've spoke up to the pastor, and asked for some hymns or songs like this, I don't know if the musician can play them or not, he is very skillful, I don't think it will ever return, they don't even sing these songs on communion Sunday.

[@heidih.2394]

You stated, "I don't think it will ever return," It never left, people stop singing them. The Pentecostal Apostolic songs of Zion will never ever leave. It's just that people not singing the songs like they should.

[@patterry6650]

@@heidih.2394 Well if people aren’t singing them anymore, then that’s basically restating the comment you replied to. It’s the same thing 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@heidih.2394]

@@patterry6650 So that's what you got out of it? 😒😜👀

[@mdministries]

My Lord, what a video!! I have wept the whole time,, I only hope I can go out the same way!! with the saints shoutin and praising God Like this.. Please brother, post some more of this! I was so down today, but I feel alot better science watchin this..!! JESUS NAME CHURCH ALL THE WAY!

[@stephenmaxwell5161]

The wonderful Grandchildren of the Honorable G. T. Haywood!!

[@MsLADYKENYA]

I miss my pastor

[@pewjumper]

I just saw that Bishop Wagner has also gone on to be with the Lord. Oh my, what a time.

[@CharlesAlexander]

I just discovered your message! I do know that Bishop Harry Herman and his wife were there. I spoke to them immediately prior to the procession to the cemetery. It was a bright spot in the day because I was 51-years-old at the time and hadn't seen either one of them since I was a teenage member of Christ Temple-Indianapolis back in the 1960's. God bless them!

[@pluto17dre]

my goodness! they hit all the good ole timer songs

[@kevinpaige4902]

COGIC was in the house! The late Bishops P. A. Brooks and Earl J. Wright!

[@user-pn4kw9xx5h]

Everybody loved bishop David Ellis. Cogic, cooljc, Methodist. He had a huge impact on the city of Detroit.

[@nannetteheath5388]

He is with "the so great a cloud of witnesses.". He is of the sweetish spirit. Praise God.

Who makes it their business to go around on youtube 'disliking' preachers' funerals??

[@myrajones3723]

Amen! that's my goal

[@TheMinstrel4life]

Love it. But when Bishop William Ellis hollered out Yeah that thing sounded just like his brother Bishop David Ellis. that was sort of scary. It is amazing now that Bishop Charles Ellis is the prelate of PAW now. Full circle.

[@Professorrob2k24]

Now this a homegoing

[@jacquelyncollier3904]

Talk about a victory service

[@apostolic660]

I still don't understand how they had this service at Greater Grace. I know they had to turn people away.

[@evangelistL]

I was at this victory celebration. I'm apostolic but I am not PAW. It didn't matter on that day.

[@calebcharles6280]

shouldn't matter any day

[@wonderfilled6048]
