unbelievable way sister Jones we talked to other day and we know we are here for you when I left the church on Sunday I made some calls system females that I know some prayer warriors and I said I need prayer for this lady we are with you and I hope everyone here today we you always create myths and junk God is love he's shown it by all of these people and all over the world to lift this man and we want to lift his wife up I mean that you're full of humility and I've seen it from afar and we're for you and your husband he is the swag master of them all when I met him some eighteen to twenty years ago and sometimes we think people are already on top I'm no pastor Jones I mean when he was young but he loved 4:10 he loved music he looked up to the Mighty Clouds of Joy and the old truth was the Jews the william brothers harvey all of them he loved it he loved it so much that he crafted it and God decided to bless it I met a lot of people I've been blessed by God to do a lot of things but pastor Jones he's different he's different he has some unique that was different God gave him to us and the thing about it God took him but God did it why he was here he made his mark why he was here and he's touched so many through his songs and and I believe that he left him here he took him for us to get something to care it on he took him for us to really get in I remember one night Pastor Jones from guest and he said me and I won't leave Williams to come to my church and I won't Sean Jones that's all I want those those two teen either when I'm hit the whole group and I live in Rome Georgia and I went home and my phone rang it was Pastor Jones he said Mandark this boy is a mess I mean this is @midnight and Pastor Jones hadn't gone to sleep the next morning who was it Pastor Jones he said dark this this is it and he meant that Sean Jones is a he would never die at the group don't give up god this is God is just doing something now to make this greater than we ever could imagine look at people now see Doug Williams and Melvin it's like a togetherness we're here today this is a young man and I know all of us never could imagine it would be like this and God did it for a reason and that's what's to get his attention and carry this ministry for flight number before I thank all of you I love your family the ones that don't know we're here for you at all times thank you to God be all of the glory I I know you've done this a thousand times over the week but I want to do it a thousand and one times let's give this giant of a personality a hand [Music] as we all know he will truly be missed I want to salute all the preachers and pastors everybody in their respectful places the teacher of this room I want to salute his family his wife and his children his mother all of you his church I salute all of you in Jesus name I want to say I was getting to know pastor Jones for saying this song I was getting to know Pastor Jones and done that that I know I know that he was gonna be straight up off the chain and as you already know yes he was making his rounds and covering his ground and I had a chance to hear him preach had a Chester he had a preacher we could to a goal and Memphis Tennessee didn't know as my first and last time hearing him preach but he was an awesome preacher in my low studies I used to worry about what it meant to die but fellow studies the work death all over the Bible it means separation anyway you see the word death in the Bible just simply means to separate and that definition for death is right then Sean didn't die last Saturday he literally died March 12 1985 that was the first time he died March 2 12 1985 you see he was living before that we call that his birthday but the day he started living was the day he was conceived but he lived in a world by himself it was a dark watery world it was a sack of water there he swimmed for nine months in the wall of his mom growing ears to hear over him growing a tongue to talk over here growing two legs so he could walk over here he developed a heart and it's thought taken to keep him moving over here and after he all of that stuff his mom knew something was happening he was actually dying March the 12th he became too big for the sack there was no moon in that world and her water broke and he died to this world to come to this world now now now the matter is now the matter is the first time he died did nobody cry but him by the cry at him because he was born in a world where he had become tangible he wasn't used to being handled so he cried and when he cried everybody else was happy because he was cute and he was chubby but then when he outgrew this world he had to die there only to live in another world where we'll never grow old no more if I told you wait look at your neighbor and say if that is the case then dying is all right sleep well sir there is a name I love to hear I love I want y'all to make it sound like Sunday morning to sing his praise it sounds like music in my ear it's the sweet Swedish name I know there is a name I love to hear to see it starts we have some Jesus [Music] happiness becomes cause he first [Music] Jesus because he furs keepers he pressed on me lord have mercy he the wonder where's the church in here in my soul he's a wonder [Music] when everybody in this room lift your hands up you know it's alright help us I

what you need every our Lord acnezine come on you got to tell him what to do [Music] pastor Shawn Jones would be proud of the celebration going on today often imitated but not duplicated he was one of a kind and to my daughter Dominica Alex Sean and des cailloux God is going to take care of because he declared I'll never leave you nor will I forsake you pastor Tim Rogers mentioned a fact Shawn came for Memphis preaching on his way back we were at the Alabama state convention in Birmingham 6 Avenue Baptist Church and he sent me a text says a pop let's do lunch not only me - Reverend stand for Benson he called both of us to have lunch and it was a glorious time that's the first time that all of us ate the same thing it was a wonderful lunch we laughed we talked but it was something on you about that lunch Dominika it was almost like it was the last the family hurts not only Dominica but Diane stones you lost your son [Music] but you can never erase the memories of how God blessed him to stay among us and I want you to know as words of comfort and I know he went suddenly but you have to understand when Paul says I fought a good fight I have finished my course I have kept the faith what he was actually saying is there is no more than finished business they love a Saturday night I know you said Shawn didn't call that was something he needed to do he needed to say goodbye to some there were some preachers he need to call but when the Lord gets ready to call their heels no other finish business I'm gonna surround when I I would miss him let me say something to all the ones who are here some of the other speakers alluded to it Sean was unique for those who are singing and preaching Sean than just seeing and preach Sean was a student of slinging you didn't hear what I said he was a student of singing and preaching he just didn't sing he practiced it over and over and over again and what I want you to know is he never met a stranger you see all these folks in here there are some too stuck up to speak to anybody but not so I'm finished Sean was like this expensive watch whenever the watch needed some fixing up would take it and get it adjusted get it cleaned he started hurting he had a bad heart just get a little pick up but on the inside of the watch when you took the back off it would say if the main spring break sent it back to the manufacturer the Saturday night Pizza Cola for the mainspring broke and he had to go back yes [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] and he can fix such a Nathanson Ava thank God for being real and I somebody clap your hand and

place if you're happy and you know it say Amen now come on and bless God in this [Music] you may be seated in the Friends of the Lord indeed we thank God we honor God in this place to my sister Dominica family friends all of these plethora preachers we thank God I always I told Domenico another day that Shaun was supposed to be standing over me and I'd meet over him but God works in mysterious ways and I believe somewhere in the book of James he says count it all joy and that's what we're doing just a few words because as I pondered and wondered what could I possibly say to all that gathered here on today why because whatever I say is still hers and no matter how jovial we've tried to make this experience it's going to be moments that no one is gonna be around but but around 2:30 Wednesday morning I was leaving my brother house on the way home and I talked with Dominica about 2:30 in the morning on my way home making sure I got home safe and God started to comfort and communicate at the same time so I want to give you a few facts about this to encourage and lift because we are so informed on living that we don't investigate dying that much let me say that again we are so informed about living that we never investigate dying that much and and so I wanted to or need to because so many most of us are experts about living that we are so certain about the details of what deaths all about so I Wow I need to I've heard people say all week long to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord so because most of us Tim we didn't attend to how to shout class we didn't smile we didn't shout we just stood there because we were still hurting but but but then because I asked God God why are we not shouting because to be absent from the body is to be present with you why are we not shouting and God said to me he says gene because they never read the brochure on the certainty of creation he said gene they never read the brochure on the certainty of creation that that that would have told them would have led them to a section that revealed to us that death is employed by the eternal and so I said to God I said okay he says but don't fret because and I don't need you to fret family and friends here today because I brought a few facts from the brochure to share with you the first thing I want to share from this brochure is is that people who leave us are happier than the folk we leave behind the second thing I want to tell you is is that death does not hurt life does the third thing I want to tell you is that Jones didn't leave to go somewhere he left to go to someone let me say that again because some of you should have shot it right there Jones didn't leave to go somewhere Jones left to go to someone and I said well God I'm still hurting and he says we'll continue to read the brochure so as I continue to read the brochure he showed me a few script I saw some 30 and five where it says we've been me endure for a night but joy cometh in but I was still hurting then I went down a little further and I saw another scripture in Matthew 6:34 where he says don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow we'll take care of it and then I remembered when Sean was on TBN he used that scripture and shun said on TBN he says you know the Bible says don't worry about today or tomorrow and he says it reminded me of a cartoon that came out about the Lion King many of you probably remember that and shun talked about how how there was major characters as symbol that was Mufasa and there was star and I want to tell your family like shun said on TV n he says they're gonna be times where people and many people wanted his gift like star wanted mu Foster's gift but when scar got Mufasa gift he can handle what he really acts for yeah and and he says there were times where he says but then Simba ran away into the jungle because all of us face jungles of Lights and they're going to be some snakes in the jungle he said they're gonna be some snakes in the jungle that if they get close enough he'll bite you shun had a lot of people that he never allowed to get close to him because he knew they was only trying to get close to biting then shun said they're gonna be crooked now crudeness you have to watch out for because crook is only me when you walk up on them they stop making noise now they go say nothing Dominika there gonna be a lot of people who are in this place today making noise but after all of this is over you won't hear them say again what but but then Simba runs into two people call Timon and Pumbaa and they teach him this Swahili song called Hakuna Matata which means no worries for the rest of my days but the problem was I still was hurting the hurt still didn't stop and I told the minica it wasn't until God spoke to me because some thirty just didn't do it Matthew just didn't do it but then God said Jude he sent me to verse 24 well he says now unto Him I wish I had a church in this place he says now unto him that is able to keep you from falling and to present now is the answer look at the text because the text says here the first word in jus 24 is the word wood now can somebody shout now in this place because now is the answer to the question of next y'all miss that many of us have been pondering the question of now what are we going to do who are we going to call who's going to encourage me but the Lord sent me to tell you that if you take your narrow and give it to him who is able to keep you from falling you would discover that he is able to deliver you and to exceed in joy even in this I started to feel a little better and then God says I'm not through with you because you need to know I know it hurts but now unto Him I know you don't understand Dominica but now unto Him I know

have this privilege to stand before you and just say a few words let me I understand yes that's just the way we Saints dude we celebrate when others panicking and crying August twenty-seventh I celebrated 50 years of life and my church wanted to do something special for me so they asked my wife they said well we know he loves quartet singing I'm a huge fan of quartet music used to try to sing it me and Paul Porter back in the day and Harvey Watkins and all of these legendary gentlemen they asked my wife they said well we want to know who is his favorite singer and she quickly said Sean Jones and so my staff secured him to come and I'm sitting in the pulpit celebrating and the music started to play and I was getting a little upset because I try to sing this song with my male chorus and I'm like this is my day I really don't want to sing and they're playing the music so I'm thinking they're beckoning for me to sing and the music is playing I hear this voice I'm like now this sounds just like the record and I know I ain't got no guys up here can sound like that and in walks this gentleman with all of the swag one could employ and he sang and blessed us our church the grace Baptist Church in Atlanta fell in love with Sean Jones fell in love with him he hung around fellowshipped and we just had a wonderful time and so my wife she kept talking about boy he can sing and oh he cuz I said yeah baby Negro can do it I mean he's got it and I mean he hit that note and I said yeah baby I mean he really knows what he's doing and then she said and he's such a handsome fellow I said wait a minute y'all got to get this to grow out of here now because I but he was all that and I think all of us have come today for that purpose Shawn has brought quartet and preaching together in one place you ought to give God praise for that now I know that the time is short and we've been greatly blessed to be here today but I want to say to his lovely wife and family children mother father-in-law doctor hunter bless you and all of the believers that you're in my prayers but then please understand ladies and gentlemen that they are going to need us when the day is over they are surrounded bishop bolton by love but when they are really gonna need us is when this day is over and they're not gonna just need our prayers because this young lady is having to raise children now without the aid and the assistance of her husband who was the breadwinner of that family and i telled my church quite often they say i'm praying for your pastor i say well the answer to my prayer is in your pocket and so if we're going to love her and support her team we have to do this in a tangible way because they have to live even after today and i know many of you have already done this i have brought an offering from my church the Grace Baptist Church and my wife and I we have brought an offering to sow into the life of this awesome woman of God who stood by her husband and took care of his children and will continue to do so and I want to present that I won't give it to you I'll give it where they can secure it because everybody in here ain't say Amen now let me do this real quickly I don't know why I'm asked to do this I preach I really don't sing but they've asked me to sing this song with the believers I cannot do it like Sean Jones he was the man I told Sean one day

on you can do better than that the time is well spent I'm honored to have even been invited by the wife and the believers think you all for calling me dr. Jones and I have a long deep connection there's videos that's been surfacing when he was very young and we used to lay in the flow together before the Lord and here we are today I just want to say a couple of things and it already has been manifested I dare not try to preach like we preach I've been doing the 21st of next month I'll be preaching for two four years on the 21st but now it's duck team but God so mean has already manifested what God showed me I were praying and I've been before the Lord that was nights I couldn't sleep thinking about God taking this young man now watch this watch this watch this watch this watch this in Joshua chapter 1 there is a shifting in the assignment and when I was playing reminiscing upon the life and the service and the sacrifice of this feel that God used to set the nation [Music] [Music] [Applause] it's good now one thing you can remember the god it has expiration dates on Jones so happy with the believers don't fight among yourself a divided group can't stand a divided house cannot stand well I'm done and I thank you for these few minutes but I need you go to see for me the morning he got up with all power in his hand clap your hand and give the Lord praise my god shall be mine [Music] [Music] listen quickly before we all begin to make moves we want to get proper instruction and direction Shh we want to get proper instruction and direction about what's next we thank God for pastor Eugene Leonard and Bishop LW Bolton for their word a man come on say man again and what we want to do is to make sure that everyone in this house is safe a man we never want to hear the preaching and the proclaiming of God's Word without giving somebody a chance to be saved hey man and so if you are here now and you are not saved and you desire to be saved and you feel God knocking at the door of your heart even in today's celebration you can be saved you can respond by standing or walking this direction there's such an arsenal of pastors and preachers who can leave you and walk you into the plan of salvation but we never want the word to be proclaimed without an opportunity for somebody to be saved a man church
