(CBS News) DALLAS - A veteran Texas pastor gave the last sermon of his life Sunday, collapsing and dying in front of a crowded sanctuary of churchgoers after preaching that morning.

Rev. Jerome McNeil, Senior Pastor of Christian Chapel CME Church in Dallas, had served the community there for 21 years, reported CBS local affiliate KTVT.

"All of a sudden I heard a thud and I didn't know what it was. I looked around and he was gone," church member Cherry Bullard told KTVT correspondent Steve Pickett. "It hurts to even think about it, but he's in a better place."

McNeil's charismatic leadership helped the 150-year-old institution known as the Temple of Faith expand from a small chapel to a church that now has 7,000 members.

Before he was a pastor, he was the first black administrator for a Dallas County agency, second in command for the Juvenile Department in 1981.

The plants are what the satanists call them. An occultic spirit has risen up in the full gospel churches because of these plants. But when you see them you will know them! For I, YAHUVEH, am giving you the true church of YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH (Jesus Christ) new eyes to see, new ears to hear and a bold mouth to speak and new hands to drive them out. For they are MY hands I have bared MY right arm, the arm of Holiness and as MY Son chased the evil from the house of YAHUVEH so it shall happen again.

This year some evil pastors, the plants, will die during their sermons. For they preach MY Word to mock ME. But they know not ME, the Word that was made flesh. Satan knows the Word, do not be deceived, and does He fear it enough to stop his evil, No, and neither will the plants for they have sold their souls to satan and they will reap the destruction they have sowed. Some are evangelists, yet although they say they are leading souls to Jesus Christ, it is a different 'Savior' they are leading them to, to the feet of the antichrist!!!

The people then start to worship the leader and this is your sign. They stop seeking ME and MY rules and Word and seek a word from a mere man. They care not about offending the one and only YAHUVEH Almighty the Great "I AM!" But instead worry about offending the pastor who is a plant for satan, to bring confusion, hopelessness, rebellion, destruction, poverty, lying, deceiving spirits and to steal the little faith MY sheep once had.

When they fall under the power while the plant is praying for them, they fall not at YAHUSHUA's feet but at the feet of the antichrist and they don't even understand they were seeking ME, and yet a mind control spirit has them finding another shepherd, the evil shepherd that tortures his sheep and slaughters them knowing that they will join the plants as they are offered up to satan as a sacrifice. This may sound foreign to some but it happens in Assembly of God churches, and Pentecostal churches, and in all main line churches.

But I am going to prove YAHUSHUA is the only Good Shepherd and this year I am coming to rescue MY sheep. To chase the wolves out of MY Churches, and I will use you to do it. As I have poured forth MY Living Water and New Wine. Satan has poured out the counterfeit the vinegar that I refused the spirit of lukewarmness to have a form of godliness but no godliness within.

I grieve for MY Children and MY Elect that are deceived. I am a God full of mercy for those that are MINE, but because they are led astray by itching ears to hear, only that which they want to hear, they have been led to slaughter. I am raising up a mighty Gideon's army to take back MY sheep with a new anointing some of you have already noticed.

As you read these prophecies the gifts I have given you will stir one another's RUACH ha KODESH's (Holy Spirit) gifts up to a high degree. Now those who have intellectual and logical spirits this will be like the Old Wine and the New Wine trying to mix. This gospel of YAHUSHUA is so simple that even a baby can understand how to get saved.

Don't complicate what I have purposely made simple. The reason being is I never intended hell to be for human beings, it was created for satan and his fallen angels. I made a way out for you; he is the only way out, the only truth, life, and way to Heaven and into MY waiting arms where I have longed to gather you as a mother hen gathers their chicks.

I don't want any to perish or be damned, please warn them. Sound the trumpet blast that the anointing I have given you. As a mother or father warns before they spank their children, I in MY infinite mercy and love say, "Warn them." For when I let loose MY anger it will be hard to appease ME.

If you are warning them, though they mocked Moses, he obeyed and warned them. When the earth is shaken in all areas only MY true Children who hear MY voice and know MY RUACH ha KODESH, and are covered in MY Son's shed Blood at Calvary, and calling on the Name of YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH, YAHSHUA MESSIAH, by whatever language you speak. He knows HIS Name and the Spirit from which HIS Name is spoken from.

Only these shall be saved. Call on the Name of YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH and thou and thy household that calls upon the Name of YAHUSHUA shalt be saved. Listen as once again; unexpectedly I have written MY Words through MY Handmaiden, MY Prophet, MY Child, Warrior and Bride of YAHUSHUA!

Sherrie Elijah (Elisabeth) again did not know I was going to use her to sound this trumpet blast along with others I have posted around the world in different sections of the world. Hear the warning trumpet blast, before the war proceeds I send the trumpet blast.

Warn them, and you will be doing your part. All those who are receiving this have a part to warn those that have ears to hear and listen, and yes for those who choose to remain deaf. At least they won't be able to say they weren't warned!

Regardless of your beliefs...as a human being, please have some decency and respect for this man's family and loved ones. Shame on you! Your cruel comments make you no better than Hitler, Stalin, or the rest of them.

@ ultraskygod, DEADLY SERIOUSLY!

So many of the posts here really only serve to convince me further that there is a God, for without a God there would be no motivation to live a selfless life of sacrifice and service as this Pastor did, and likewise, without a God there would be no final reckoning to set straight the injustice perpetrated by the ungodly. I'm reminded of 2 Timothy 3: 1-5 which describes our present age to a tee: "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." People who use half truths and lies to justify their own lack of faith (e.g., suggesting that Hitler was a Christian just because he was raised as a Lutheran, while ignoring that he was heavily into the occult and had an estimated 2 to 3 "real" Christians put to death for their attempts to shelter and protect their Jewish neighbors) are only deluding themselves.

You can believe in whatever you want, but the facts will never support a god.

[prm777]

Romans 1:20-22: "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools"

You can look at the intricate design of the universe and choose to see random, non-directed chance and "evolution", or you can choose

Let's differentiate between knowledge and belief, please. You can say that you believe he is in a certain place, but anyone who claims to know for certain what happens to us after death is either a liar or a fool.

Jesus is Lord and you will give an account. While a Christian puts their faith in God a ~ atheist puts their faith in nothing. While atheism seeks to hate God and hate man promote self Christianity looks away from self and pleasing others. Great atheists in history include Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Nero, Past three leaders of North Korea ect ect. As always, those who are against God will repent or come to nothing. Regardless every knee will bow to Jesus, in this life or eternity. It is well to die serving God, rather than die serving self and sin. Those who mock and oppose God will not sleep well tonight ~ their conscience will bother them.

[ultraskygod]

Gosh, what a dumb statement.

First of all, atheists (or anyone) cannot hate a being in which they do not believe.

Secondly, Stalin and Mao were autocrats who sought to consolidate power. With them, the state WAS god.

Thirdly, Hitler was not an atheist. His appeal was that they were fighting the good christian fight.

Thirdly, that whole "every knee shall bow is unprovable. Basically, an opinion.

Lastly, your EMPTY PROXY THREATS are laughable.

Get off your knees and try not to live your one life as a Jesus sucking sycophant.

"Thirdly, Hitler was not an atheist. His appeal was that they were fighting the good christian fight. "

You can appeal to Christianity all you like, it doesn't make you a Christian. Hitler is a good example of this.

[nohater]

is this what they mean by "rapture"? at least he went out doing what he liked doing with his life.

If you gotta go I can't think of a better time and place.

Must have been "God's will."
