Shirley Ceaser (James Cleveland's funeral)

[READY4REVELATION]

@mrtheoneandonly83: Just how blind are you? Do you not have eyes to see or is it that you wanna be deceived? Do you have any idea how many men are married and messing with other men behind their wives back? Did you go listen to Miki Howard's UNSUNG interview and tell of the homosexuality that her mom was involved in while with James and the Caravans. Also go to ATOAST2WEALTH and read the facts for yourself....not gossip....cold facts. Have you not listend to Cassietta George nephew expose them?

[mrtheoneandonly83]

Rev James Cleveland had at least several illness in his body so either way he would have died. As for Christopher Harris well he was clearly after Jame's 5 million doller money which he never got just ask miss Thomas.

Best i Love her

[truvon7]

It's no sound coming from the vid wtf

[DaOrigTruthSeeker]

@juwon2324: I noticed something about the Black ppl....that is the fact that we like to see only what we want. When R. Kelley had sex with that underage girl i listened carefully to how Blacks defended him and even after the video tape was made public. We have to STOP defending sexual predators in our community. I am a victim of a sexual predator and he was a well respected man. Black people don't want to talk about it. Blk ppl don't have a clue about the # of Blk boys who get molested everyday.

[bigblk26]

rosiebe47 u are right

[DaOrigTruthSeeker]

@bigblk26: You are going around to as many videos as you can spreading lies about how James died. James died of AIDS his own foster son verified that. He revealed that James had sex with him for 5 years and he then tested positive for HIV. You need to STOP purposely misleading people. If any of you want to know the full truth please go to ATOAST2WEALTH website and read the real facts for yourself. James was a gifted man no doubt.....but he was also a sexual predator of young boys. So STOP lying!

[juwon2324]

@DaOrigTruthSeeker :Tanks for the website it's very informative, but most of it i already knew!!!

[mrtheoneandonly83]

@DaOrigTruthSeeker If that be the case then how come Jame's 2nd exwife said it were not true? WAIT, were you there to whitness what Mr Harris-Cleveland had said? NO. STOP GOSSIPING!

[bigblk26]

REV CLEVELAND DIED OF A HEART ATACK NOT AIDS I REPET A HEART ATACK

[carmendecor]

Christopher Harris (Cleveland's adopted son) said, People in [Cleveland's] inner circle knew, people at church knew,” he said. “But they pretended it didn’t exist. I guess what you don’t see you can’t say. But I can.”

“No. He didn’t die of heart failure–heart failure is just a delusion,” Harris said, nearly laughing.

[carmendecor]

"So many bishops, pastors and preachers are on the downlow! They all protect one another and their secrets."

"When a downlow preacher visits an out of town church-headed up by another DL preacher.He's offered up young men-sexually-from the congregation, it's a traveling perk among the DL gospel sect! It's also called, 'showing off your male stable,' and who has 'the prettiest boy stable' among this secret society of preachers (allegedly, some of the biggest names in the gospel industry)."

[instantpayback]

@carmendecor hi.. is it you that make the rain fall and the sun shine?

[carmendecor]

@instantpayback No, I believe that is the work of God and God only. Rev. James Cleveland died from AIDS and his adopted son confirmed when Christopher Harris (Cleveland’s foster son) told a reporter that he and Cleveland carried on a sexual relationship for five years.

Harris once went by the name Christopher Cleveland. That was before he filed suit against Cleveland’s estate and won alleging five years of sexual contact that ended with Harris testing positive for HIV.

[aknowneemus]

[rightpath39]

UHC4LYFE---

God Bless You, you are so right. I don't know you. So therefore, I cannot presume anything about you. I just wanted you to mindful of what you post because it reflects you not Shirley. Have a blessed and wonderful day. This is the end my responses on this matter.

[famuaamu]

OMG, now I see what you were talking about! I would've loved to hear her whole speech.

[shlyanth]

I can relate to what Pastor Shirley Ceaser is saying. I wish you had more of the footage. Really a blessing to hear.

[jddrew1000]

There is Cassietta George in the background.

She and James wrote song together while they were Caravans

MM MM MM...

[y2kvera]

i wished i could hear the rest to and some more of shirley caesar old videos

[Dreambro1]

I remember,, James C died either late Saturday night , or Early Sunday Moring,,,in 91,, i wuz goin to church with a friend, and remember them anouncing this on the radio!

[obbeachbum69]

Shirley Ceaser is a real woman of God. Pure essence of love

[gilbertoazul6]

I wish I could hear the rest of her message.

[robgotchords]

thanks for these great clips!!! can u post a longer (full) version of this one?

[tkvalo]

Sister I love all your songs

[RobertEarl20]

Let me ask yall this I bet this funeral last for days... Who preached his funeral. I bet it was long.......

[wcta0608]

If memory serves me correctly Steve Thurston from Chicago preached Founder"s funeral. In fact Pastor Thurston was doing revival at Pastor Cleveland's church the week he passed.

[Micha0009]

Man I L-O-V-E this woman. Tell it Mrs. SHIRLEY!

[UHC4LYFE]

Shirley is a CUNT, if anyone wants to know why, message me privately and I will tell you. She allowed me to be wronged a her church a few weeks ago and Im not, nor have I ever been a member. Then she avoided me when I went back repeatedly to talk to her about it. Now I see why almost all her members have left her 1500 seat church here in Raleigh, NC!

[JJedidiah10]

Hi, I just moved to Raleigh and was going to visit her church. Should I not? What happened?

[UHC4LYFE]

I encourage you to go to Mt. Calvary, then hit me up. You will see!

[rightpath39]

@UHC4LYFE

They talked about Jesus, and no one can live up to your expectations except for Jesus. Look to him and don't blame anyone else because people are fallible.

[ProvidenceUHC]

@rightpath39 Awful presumptuous of u 2 think i have any expectations of her? Further more, u r even more presumptuous to even think u wud know what my expectations wud be. Shirley has a 2500 seat church in raleigh, and on any given sunday--you wont find 100 people there. That 100 includes choir, congregation, officers, visitors, roaches,etc. That speaks 4 itself!

[liljostens91]

@rightpath39 u know i try to live that everyday. but each time it don't seem possible.

[mlowerysmelodies]

@JJedidiah10 ~*i say go to it its the place*~

[TheChildofgod33]

new orleans gospel soul children is having they 40th reunion concert aug.9,2009 at 6pm at new home b.c. on felicity an Lasalle st. in new orleans, La come an be bless... cause they going to take it all the way back from 1969. N.O. GOSPEL SOUL CHILDREN WAS ONE OF JAMES CLEVELAND FAVORITE CHOIRS

[memphisdirector]

wow...she is tore up...which i can imagine...but that's shocking to me to see her show emotion...wow

[uprayup]

She is a Pastor and the anointing of the Lord is upon her life.

[jerseydime10]

Pastor Ceasar is a legend! She is still on the battlefield workin and singin for the lord. Amazing! She gives me inspiration. Her voice is still as strong as it was when my mother used to play her when I was a child. God bless her and the family of Mr. Clevelend.

[jassonss17]

CAssietta George In Da Back ground

[msscott73]

Pastor Shirley Caesar can clear her throat and lay out 1000. They all be speaking in tongues.

[rosiebe47]

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all and that goes for you friend drosson. Tommorrow ain't promised. Mrs. Ceasar has done nothing to you.

[stevedock]

Talk Shirley, you are telling the truth.

[vajiy]

There is something about even her speaking voice that causes conviction. Btw, how did she finish her statement at the end? I'd love to know what she said..

[Nunya88]

Well I know of the scripture she was speaking of. It's something to the effect that you're supposed to mourn/cry when someone is born into the world because you know of all of the hardships, trials, troubles, etc. that they are going to have to endure in this life, and we should rejoice when they pass because their troubles, hardships, etc. are over. If i'm wrong someone plz correct me. I would assume that she was encouraging the mourners to rejoice bcuz he is now present with the Lord.

[LiftingHimUp]

Thats right

[expertonmyself]

i totally agree w/ the first part of your comment.

[ohsosoblessed]

God knowes best

[AJLD1]

What happend to Cornerstone MBC? I heard it is now torn down and just a storefront now. What happen?

[Nunya88]

Thats the same thing that I originally thought. However I was told by a former member that the majority of Cornerstone went to New Philadelphia in Los Angeles, Im not sure if the store front Cornerstone church in Los Angeles is actually a the remains of James Cleveland's ministry. The actual building that was Cornerstones Church Building is still standing today. The outside remains pretty much exactly the same, but the building is now being used as a "Big Lots" which is a retail closeout store

[mzluvitall]

ok, thanks for this foottage, that was spiritual...and touching...thanks for posting...

[mzluvitall]

do you have more of this footage...

[529068]

[chicagomarchingbands]

It looks like a different church? did they have more than one service?

[RoyceRoyal1987]

I Believe they had two different podiums

[wizzingzey]

the big service was held at the shrine auditorium.the first service was held at his church.

[wizzingzey]
