GONE HOME..God honors the faith of His servantsWritten by Irvin L. Rozier
Gone Home...god Honors Faith And His ServantsThis is a short version from story number five (out of 50) from my recently published book, My Walk with Lord. Psalm 116.15: "Precious in sight of Lord is death of his saints." I had a dear uncle, Rev. Owen Rozier, who came down with cancer. Although his body was weak, his faith in Lord was strong. Just like verse in Amazing Grace "Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come", Uncle Owen had his share of tribulations while preaching word for over thirty years. He and my father, late Rev. A.J. Rozier, were close in age and close as brothers. Daddy went home to be with Lord in 1966, and here it was in 1987. On July 17, 1987, about 7 PM, Lord spoke to me and said, "I'm going to take Uncle Owen home tonight. Go on over to his house." As I was driving over there, song "I Won't Have to Cross Jordan Alone" came on radio. It played twice. As tears filled my eyes, Lord gave confirmation of what He had told me. When I arrived at Uncle owen's, I noticed several other cars were there. Other people started arriving. No one had called them to come. The Lord drew them so Uncle Owen could preach his last sermon. We all gathered around his bed; I read Psalm 23. Uncle Owen called on someone to pray, and then feebly preached his last sermon..the few words he spoke was precious.

Before I went to bed one night, I prayed and asked Lord to send encouragement. I drifted off to a deep sleep and began to dream a very vivid dream. In this dream, I was in a church preaching to a large congregation of different races and people. I was speaking these words, "Either you are a child of King (Jesus) or you are a child of devil! You must be born again to become a child of King. And another thing, you must love your neighbor as yourself. The congreagtion was shouting "Amen!" and "Preach Word". When I completed these words Lord gave me, I went outside church. I looked up and saw thousands and thousands of people pressing towards me. I looked behind me, and saw a deep, dark, bottomless pit, and I was facing crowd
