My condolences to the Long Family. Bishop Long, you will truly be missed. Your words and teachings led me and my family closer to God. You gave so much of your time and life helping others. Thank YOU for everything. Rest In Peace. Bishop Long at all but i can say that God knew him more. We are to allow him to do his awesome work.

And God will have his final say so. I just want to make it into The kingdom of heaven. And everyone that read this message should strive to make heaven our final destination. In my heart, I know Bishop Long accomplished his mission and is now in a better place with the Lord. He was not perfect, as none of us are.

My father, my dad, I have walked with Bishop for 24 years. I know his heart, love and compassion for others and the gospel of Jesus Christ.. Even though my grief consume me concerning his passing, because the human side is going to miss him so much, I know the Lord is saying well done my good and faithful servant come up just a little bit higher.

With much love and respect, rest in peace as I carry on your dreams, love, and legacy. My Bishop, my pastor. Where do I start? I admired Bishop Long. I love him and I appreciate how he cared about people.

I loved his sense of humor. Progression in Christ. He taught us how to forgive, to serve and to lead. Christ in us. Often Bishop would preach and as he was preaching God would be speaking to him. Powerful ministry, powerful, wonderful man. I love you Bishop. Thank you for caring about our health enough to bring people and resources to us to help us live better and healthier lifestyles.

I could go on, but it would take way too long to express everything. Beautiful man of God. You are loved. My thoughts and prayers are with his beautiful, loyal wife and his loyal children. Thank you Elder Vanessa Long for being a faithful caregiver to the end to your husband and to the man we know as the honorable Bishop Eddie L. May God regenerate, restore, and revive you mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually with each passing moment. Elder Vanessa Long, thank you. Thank you for giving your husband to be used by God to help sooo many of us.

He was such a spiritual blessing to me. He will never know, but he touched my life in such an amazing way. My condolences to you and your family in this time, especially your children. I pray daily that God gives you all a peace that surpasses all understanding. God Bless. I thank God for you Bishop Long. Your willingness to love, lead and serve has greatly impacted the world and advanced the Kingdom of God. Your special touch to minister to men has made so many men better men, thrusting us to take our rightful place.

To Elder Vanessa Long, the children and grandchildren, God is with you. Rest on Bishop Long, you will always be loved and never forgotten. It was a pleasure to hear him for four years during the week on the morning prayer line.

He will be missed but am grateful that the suffering is no more. God bless you all,. Rest in Heaven Bishop! I was so blessed to have you as my Pastor for 10 wonderful years! First Lady Long thank you so much for sharing your husband! I love you with all of my heart! I joined New Birth in , after hearing about a man that God had his hand on and how he was making an impact on so many peoples lives. So I visited and been here every since. I pray that we who remain will pick up his mantle put it on and prophesy with power.

Bishop you are truly missed but God loves you more. Thank you for a job well done! Ephesians Bishop Long has been a true teacher and Spiritual Father. I moved to Atlanta in as a widow lost and seeking guidance. I attended the church every time the doors opened. Bishop Long spoke to my broken heart and helped me to grow and gain the strength I needed to move forward.

He taught me to trust God and to develop a personal relationship with God. I found myself living again. He will truly be missed. I thank God for the blessing of developing under his leadership. Praying for the entire Long Family! Their memories remains in our hearts. May loving memories heal your pain and keep you going.

Before I had established a place to live in Atlanta upon relocation in , I was certain of my church and my pastor. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself living in Atlanta, working at CDC or becoming a member of New Birth and having the up close opportunity to be touched by the man whom I admired via BET on Friday mornings at 6 am while attending Grambling State University.

Bishop Long was larger than life to the masses, but for us, he was a father, a friend, the teacher of all teachers and a gladiator of leaders who taught us to stand…by standing. I will never be the same because Bishop spoke life and hope into me like no other. He was a limitless example of fortitude and Godly surrender. He showed us his vulnerability and in every step and with every breath, he taught us to move forward in God.

While I miss him and mourn this immense loss, I look forward to what lies ahead for my New Birth family. We shall pick up the mantle, put it on and prophesy! I am fully persuaded that when our Bishop departed this life, he went empty; after giving everything he had. Vanessa Long, my love for you will never fade.

To his beloved children, grandchildren, brothers and family, I extend my deepest condolences and fervent prayers of strength and healing to you all. Thank God for his life and legacy. I had the gift of being a part of both. My girls and I already miss Bishop Eddie L. I remember the first time I came to New Birth over ten years ago, Bishop spoke a word over my life that called me out of a dead situation and completely captivated me… And since then, every word spoken out of that pulpit has been just for me … Bishop Long has made a profound impact on my life and he will forever be missed, cherished and loved….

My sincere condolence goes out to the Long and Newbirth family. May Bishop Long rest in the arms of our father in heaven. I pray strength and peace for the movement into the next journey of life in gods presence.

Also god bless their children and their church members. As you celebrate the life of bishop just know that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the lord will deliver us from them all.

God has bishop in paradise and he is resting. As god sent Joshua as a predecessor after Moses, he will raise up a leader to lead the members of New Birth. Know that you all are a Joshua generation. He will take you all across the Jordan spiritually.

You all are in continually in my prayers that you will be a vessel of honor fit for the masters use. Bishop did enormous things for the body of Christ, and I thank God for him and his lovely wife along with the spiritual leaders, their children, and the members for all that you do. Know that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. Always remember this parable. A master threw a break at each of his laborers.

The first laborer threw the brick back and injured his master, and this laborer lost his job. The second laborer stop building and walked out the job. The third laborer took the bricks that were thrown at him each day and built a castle. The third laborer ended up inheriting the masters kingdom. New Birth, I encourage you all to continue walking in the love of god.

You owe no one nothing but to walk toward those that are with or without Christ in love. When I joined New Birth there were only members and two rows of pews. Long at the time had only been there six months.

Attending New Birth changed my life forever. It was at New Birth that I truly found Christ and my life changed for the better. God spoke to me so many times through Bishop Long. I would pray and study and hear God telling me something all week and than come to church on Sunday or Wednesday and Bishop Long would confirm exactly whatever God had been saying to me through his sermon.

It was a miracle! I thank Bishop Long for being obedient to God when preaching the things that God placed in his heart. Because he was obedient, he changed and touched so many lives. One of Bishop Longs sermons confirmed to me that I was supposed to attend graduate school.

It was something that I knew, but was confirmed during a Bible study lesson. I went to graduate school where I met my husband. We attended premarital counseling at New Birth and it was life changing. It was the best premarital counseling we could have ever had. We were so blessed by it. We are still happily married 10 years this year with two wonderful children.

Although I changed church membership after my marriage, the messages that I received from God through Bishop Long stay with me, and will forever. Rest in Peace Bishop Long and thank you for the positive and life-changing impact you had on my life. My heart goes out to the Long family and the New Birth Ministry.

Bishop Long has has a profound impact on my life and ministry, he laid hands on me as a child and I have never felt better in my life. I will always love him and his wife.

Rest in Peace to one of the greatest men in the Gospel. Thank you Bishop Long for allowing God to use you! Your teaching will live forever! Our prayers are with the Long family. Thank you for sharing Bishop Long with the world! RIH Bishop Long. You will always be in our hearts. Thank you and we love you. Today Bishop Long is experiencing the New Birth.

On this side of eternity in the land of the dying we are moving towards the land of the land of the living. Bishop is with the person whom he has come to know. It is easy to talk about God but it is another to know God. Many people can speculate on many fronts, yet I hear God say he is my child. IF humans were capable of saving themselves we would not have needed Jesus.

You cannot talk about someone whom you know nothing about. To his family I thank you for living the words of our Father. Families represent what God intended, for us to stand together in spite of all odds. A family of individuals who forgive and press forward knowing that it is only by the grace of God that we are who we are.

Thank you Father for showing us through Bishop Long, his family and New Birth how we are to treat one another.

May this nation. I know that you, Father, will keep your word and you are faithful and true. So, encourage the New Birth Family, the Long family doing this hour and let them know you are with them.

To this nation, may we each ponder the reality that we too must meet you one day. In Jesus, we live and breathe and to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I am persuaded that all is well. It is ,well. It is well.. Keep the faith and finish the race that lies before us…..

I celebrate, pay tribute and give thanks for being a part of this legacy of this great man of God Apostle, Bishop, and Pastor Eddie Long for all the love he showed me as a member Of New Birth and a father in the gospel. My Condolences go to Vanessa and the Long family. Praying for strength and comfort.

No more pain the journey is over and boy did he have a journey, he touched so many live and he truly wore his footprints well I joined Newbirth in , Bishop was definitely a warrior and fighter. I watch him stand through he darkest hour of his life he never gave up , he always said when you have a dream stand on it, believe and trust in God. I remember when he first started the pray call, and it was awesome.

When he teaches it seem like he was talking about you and only you, I use to say how does he know is he watching me but it was just confirmation from God letting me know that his word was real. Thank you Bishop for being such a inspirational Leader, teacher and just being the gift of life to many people at thear weakest hour, who will Lead the marches now, because when it was not right you got the flock together and marched to centennial park, when it was a shoot out you marched.

Thank you God for using this man to be the King he was he wore his crown well. You will truly be missed, but I do have my messages that I can listen to, to keep my spirit fed. I believe that he had a spirit of love and compassion for the people of God. I pray for his immediate family. Be strong and courageous. Be blessed Newbirth Family. I love you all! Bishop Long, my father in the gospel.

I have walked with this ministry for 24 years and I thank God he allowed me to gain wisdom and knowledge concerning the gospel of Jesus through bishop Long. He was a true man of God and I know heaven is rejoicing, Bishop Long will be truly missed all over this world.

Bishop as I moved forward my promise to you is to carry on with your vision of faith and love as I spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. To Sister Elder Long, the children, and the family members, I love you and praying your strength in the Lord in the days ahead. Bishop you have ran your race well, now heaven have called you up just a little bit higher and I no they are saying well done my good and faithful servant. Much love and respect, rest in peace. Yes, It do matter that you have lived.

Bishop Eddie Long you will be truly missed. I joined the college ministries at Clark Atlanta University in , I visited several churches but God kept leading me back to New Birth. I became a member of New Birth in I would have thought Bishop was a fly on the wall that followed me everywhere I went but I knew that during his sermons it was God speaking to me through Bishop.

With the recent loss of my mother and now my spiritual leader, I have to admit I am feeling some kind of way. I will continue to pray for peace and understanding.

Bishop Eddie Long you will be forever missed but never forgotten. Bishop Eddie Long was a great and powerful man. My Love and prayers goes to his family and the family of new Birth. And I know he is with the father in heaven.

Bishop Long was an amazing man of God. In , I attended service with a friend and my spirit man was blessed. On that day, I decided he was my Bishop.

After returning to California that week, I began to watch Taking Authority continuing to be blessed. Bishop Long has truly blessed many through his obedience to God. My heart is sadden but God decided his work is done here. Lady Vanessa Long and family hold your head high and know that your family has touch and blessed so many. Your contributions to the body of Christ cannot be erased. May God continue to bless and cover you.

My family and I will always love and keep you in our prayers. Thank you for sharing Bishop Long with the world. I thank God for your ministry and your heart for the people even the ones that were not members. I visited on numerous occasion when I was in Home for the holiday from Dubai were I reside.

I watch you make sure every need was meet before you left to spend Christmas dinner with your family if you needed you provided or the people provide. One person needed a job you called on all the business owners and her need was meet even to the point were she was provided with a home with the first 6 months paid and someone owned a car dealership and the also gave her a car so she would not be late for her first day of work.

You practice what you taught more importantly you should people the spirit of Christ you was not perfect none of us are but we serve a perfect God.. You have labored now you can take rest praying for the new birth family and long family and the city of Atlanta because you belong to us all.

Rest in his arms. Celebration of Life, I know today you are at the feet of Jesus. We love you Lady Long and Family. Love Rev. Darrius and Dana Williams. In The summer of , I was looking for a church home.

I was invited to the church in by a faithful member Miss Naomi Andrews, her introduction to me was so strong and reassuring as she told me about the Lord and that I needed to come to hear her Pastor, a young preacher and that my life would certainly be changed. I followed her advice. When I arrived the small but very humble church there were what seemed like at least a hundred or more people waiting to get inside the church. As I got closer you could feel the anticipation of the crowd and through the church doors the Holy Spirit felt like He wanted to burst out into the crowd.

The people were so happy and singing and they were so nice, I never had seen anything like this before in any church and I was thirty years old at that time and had been going to church all my life.

When they opened the doors to the church, the fullness of the Holy Spirit hit us. They sang and congregation leaped and praised while the song ended and the choir took their seats. As we waited for the then Pastor Long to come to the microphone, the crowd still excited and even more excited the closer he got I did not know what to expect. I was so relieved and happy listening to every word this young, very wise beyond his years Preacher said.

I will miss so much words cannot describe. I bid you so long fora little while, because we will see each other again. No one can know but God the father he gave to me in you as my own birth father did not step up to the plate. Your wisdom and sharing words in so many trying times gave so much comfort and alternatives to solutions I would have taken that may not have ended out so well for me. I love you and your family, but God loves you more. Take your rest, but we know you are still here in spirit.

Love and miss you always. Your Daughter in Christ, Dianna! Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Long and New Birth Church family.

My condolences and sympathies to the family. Through his teachings and guidance, I got through some tough times. I will never forget. Thank you Bishop Long and may your spirit transcend in the peace of knowing that you were loved and respected by many. Bishop Long, you have touched the lives of many known and unknown.

You and New Birth were introduced to me by God 10 years ago while surfing channels one Sunday morning. I know this was God led, because I asked Him to lead me to a church where the pastor knew how to teach the Word, I can retain the Word from his teaching, and where I can grow from his teachings. I will miss you and your teaching. Words cannot express how much you were loved in my home!! I love you as my spiritual mom. May God keep His strength and coverage of you and your family during this trying time.

Whenever I am not at my home church, I tune in to New Birth via the internet. Lady Vanessa Long, continue to trust in God. To the personal and church family of Bishop Long, I am praying for you. You will always miss him and I know there are feelings of a HUGE void; God comfort, bless and heal all those grieving.

He is now with our Father, no more pain, no more sickness. He has perfect peace, joy and happiness. For to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. And we will see Bishop again praise God!

Love you all! I am grateful to God for allowing me to be a part of the New Birth Family. We had never been to New Birth but Bishop Long called us to the alter and prayed for us.

The media was portraying us as refugees and criminals. New Birth fed us for days, provided us with toiletries, healthcare services and personal shoppers that picked articles of clothes for each of us, showed them to us and if we liked them they were placed in beautiful bags and given to us. I had never experienced love from a ministry on this level and I was raised in the church.

Bishop, you have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith. Now there is in store for you the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to you on that day.

I miss you!!! My sincere condolence goes out to the Long and Newbirth family.. I pray for peace for the family at there time of loss!! RIP Bishop Long. Bishop Long i wii forever grateful for you speaking into my life. I will always know you as my spiritual father. Take your rest dad job well done. Bishop taught me to believe in my dreams to believe and to support family. I have it all. Thank you Bishop Long for courage to touch and pray for so many lives.

Rest my Pastor in the arms of the Lord. Love always Jena Jones. Instead of comments on this site there should be no less than , considering all of the lives he has touched and blessed. He did this often and quietly. I meet Mr. Long, several years ago when he visited my school, I was I appointed to make that him and wife and people, was taken care of.

When we greeted each other, I asked can call you Mr. Long and he said that would. Be fine. I told him I remember him when the church was on Snapfinger. He was a nice man, but a powerful. Solo when came speaking the word. Rest in Heaven keep speaking how much love to all those angels. Bishop had a. There is a tremendous void right now. You will be missed.

Job well done…. From my husband and myself, members of Tabernacle of Praise, Ft Worth, Texas, you have our prayers and our love. May our good Father give you peace in your sorrow. Fran and Lou Smith. These ministries will continue to be of service to the Kenya community now and in the future.

And to the family and Church, Be not Afraid, God will take care of you and the entire ministry. When the devil thought he was defeated bishop long came back to New Birth because of his commitment after his battle to stand on the promises of the Lord that the devil did not defeat him so new birth missionary Baptist church to stand tall during and moving forward.

Bishop Long has completed the task of Gods will let us rejoice and be glad for he is with the Lord thru his grace and mercy I thank you. I thank the Lord for Bishop Long, Since my move to Georgia this is the 2nd large church I have attended and the First Church whereby the Senior Pastor really shows the love for his flock.

Rest in Our Father Bishop. Thanks for speaking so much life into my Life. Sister Vanessa thank you for sharing him with us. Praying for you and your Family.. Love you my New Birth Family. Praying for us all that we get thru this together. Bishop Eddie Long will truly be missed I pray for God strength and love for the family. Look to God alway He is our present help. May God alway bless and keep you…. Love for the family. I started going to new birth in and was introduced to the new Birth family and Bishop Long.

Due to my move I was not able to attend as often as would of like to. I felt a strong connection to New Birth and I new Bishop was shepherd.

I watched service on live stream and called in to the international prayer call daily. The services and prayer call line was a blessing to my life and help me to push on every day, any time I felt down when I heard the word from pastor my spirit was lifted up. I was truly blessed by bishops words and hes messages truly changed my life. He is truly an anointed man of God and heard straight from God. Pastor Long Changed and touched many people lives all over the world.

He was my role model and was my spiritual farther, mentor and Bishop. He was a humble, caring, selfless, funny, joyful, and a giving individual. Bishop will truly be missed, Bishop did not let his condition control is spirit or faith, instead he stood tall and fought the fight. He has completed his work here and a great example he has been. God is saying well done my faithful servant we can rejoice because he is with the LORD.

We are praying for you, may Gods peace and love cover you. Pastor Bishop Eddie Long Thanks for being who you are and now you are just getting your blessings. We are just pilgrims passing through on earth and now you have entered in. Rejoice when they die and cry when they are born the scriptures tell us.

God bless and see you one day in the morning. Missionary Patricia Helligar. He was my first Spiritual Father and the only father to instill principle and values into me. Listening to Bishop brought me through some trying times in my life when I wanted to let go and throw in the towel. It still amazes me how Just listening to the Lord speak through him makes my life worth living. Through him, I was able to grab on to Hope, Faith, and Patience. Under him, my life did a complete shift. There were times when I thought I was really losing my mind for real, but that was God positioning me for Greater and Better.

Bishop always called me to come up higher to a place he would show me. And show me he did. I am in tears sadden by the passing of my pastor Bishop Eddie Long he will be truly missed.. Although I no longer reside in Atlanta,Ga due to caring for my aging mother, my membership has remained there since The preaching and teaching I received at New Birth changed my life forever, he was anointed by God to do so.

My God bless you and us all at this time. He reminded us Jesus does say love our neighbors as we love ourselves and to seek first the kingdom of heaven. Those of us who love God cannot stay silent when his name is used to vilify his children. Love starts with accepting each other and protecting each other from harm. Our faith as a people got us through the atrocities of enslavement and disenfranchisement. And our faith has to be big enough to include all of us.
