JAMES BUZZY PRICE

We are here to memorialize a son, brother, husband, father, step-father, grandmother, uncle and friend . buzzy kept the seriousness of his last battle with his sickness low key and quiet.

He knew that this last battle was going to take his life, so it is miraculous that he had time to prepare himself . the week before he passed away was momentous. Buzzy was baptized by his son gary and took on the name of the lord jesus christ. his wife betty said that he spent much of his time praying after he was baptised.

the word of God says in Psa 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints?

The death of this man is precious because it has brought together friends family saints and sinners for fellowship

The death of this man is precious because it will inevitably cause all of us to consider our readiness to go out into eternity.

While death rejoices because it has once again issued its terrible sting and

the grave exults in victory someone here today can repent, be baptized and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Someone here right now will begin to feel the move and drawing of the Holy Spirit.

To us who remain we do not want to see any of those we love to struggle, for their bodies to break down and for them to pass. Paul wrote to the phillipian saints that to die is gain. For any saint that has passed from this earthly realm and has passed on to glory land they have received something far better than a miraculous healing, they have passed from death to the perfect life. In that city where the lamb is the light

No more sickness, no more struggling to breathe, no more treatments, no

more care, no more sorrow no more worry, no more heartache, no more

pain no more misunderstanding no more sleepless nights no more hard

times no more financial worries etc. .. it sounds like a place we ought to prepare our selves for.

“So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the

body we are absent from the Lord...(8) We are confident, yes, well pleased

rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” (2 Cor.

5:6, 8)(NKJV)

You see death is not death if you have repented of your sins, been baptized

in the name of Jesus, and filled with the Holy Ghost . It is merely a change

of place, a change of state, a transfer from one realm to another.

Death is not death, if it kills no part of us, except that which hindered us

from perfect life.

Death is not death, if it raises us from darkness to light, from weakness to

strength,

Death is not death, if it perfects our faith by sight, and let’s us behold Him

in whom we have believed.

Death is not death, if it rids us of doubt and fear, of sickness and disease,

of sorrow and sadness.

Death is not death; for Christ has conquered death, for Himself, and for

those who trust in Him.

2 Cor. 5:1, “For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed,

we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the

heavens.” (NKJV) Isn’t marvelous that Paul reminds us that this body is

a tent, and a tent was never intended to be a permanent dwelling place and

The outer shell will break down and fail but that which is contained within

this outer shell namely the Holy Ghost is more valuable than this outer

shell.

Ro 8:11 AMP And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead

dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will

also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His

Spirit Who dwells in you.

Even if your body is devastated by cancer, cancer cannot devastate and

kill the Holy Spirit

even if the outer man perishes the unseen man which is filled with the

Holy ghost will be raised up again,

if we are not taken out of here by that great catching away at the sound of

that trumpet we also will go by the way of the grave. We must ready

ourselves to meet the master. Are we ready today? Is our spirits free from

the weight and gravitational pull of sin, bitterness, unforgiveness,

unfaithfulness and false doctrine?

Are we ready? If your time on earth were to end today and you were

called out into eternity are you ready?
