Jimmy Swaggart Is Dead by Omooba77(op): 4:52pm On Jul 01, 2025
Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart dies at 90

"He met his beloved Savior and entered the portals of glory," according to a statement posted on his Facebook page.

Pioneering televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, one of the first preachers to bring his ministry to a massive TV audience before enduring a damaging sex scandal, died in Louisiana following a two-week hospitalization, a family representative said on Tuesday.

He was 90.

"Today, our hearts are heavy as we share that Brother Swaggart has finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of His Savior, Jesus Christ," according to a statement posted on his Facebook page.

"He met his beloved Savior and entered the portals of glory. At the same time, we rejoice knowing that we will see him again one day."

Swaggart was taken to the hospital on June 15 after suffering cardiac arrest, his family said.

The pastor's loved ones thanked the staff at Baton Rouge General Medical Center "for their incredible support and care given during this time," the statement said.

Swaggart became famous in 1975 when, according to his Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, "his television crews were able to capture the services live and replay them on his weekly program."

JIMMY SWAGGART HAS PASSED AWAY

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”

2 Timothy 4:7-8

Today, our hearts are heavy as we share that Brother Swaggart has finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of His Savior, Jesus Christ. Today was the day he has sung about for decades. He met his beloved Savior and entered the portals of glory. At the same time, we rejoice knowing that we will see him again one day.

For over seven decades, Brother Swaggart poured out his life preaching the gospel, singing songs of the faith, and pointing millions to the saving power of Jesus Christ and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. His voice echoed through nations, his music softened hearts, and his message never changed: Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

He was not just a preacher—he was a worshiper, a warrior, and a witness to the grace and mercy of God. He was a man whose faith was steadfast and always entered whatever door the Lord opened. And the Lord honored that faith.

Please continue to lift up Sister Frances, Donnie, Debbie, Gabriel, Jill, Jennifer, Clif, Matt, Joanna, Sam, Ryder, Abby, Lola, Harper, Navy, Harrison, Caroline and Mackenzie in your prayers.

The family would like to thank the staff, doctors and nurses at Baton Rouge General Medical Center for their incredible support and care given during this time.

Being a televangelist is a real job. Just like other artists who have to perform for others to see.

Jimmy Swaggart and all of your Christian gods of men — popes, GOs, pastors, etc.,—are fraudsters. I don't know where you got this idea that the fraud only applies to your Nigerian pastors and not the others in other parts of the world. Religion is a scam, and all those who gain from it do so by way of the scam. undecided

Imagine the delusion and length these people will go for their gods of men.🥱🥱🥱

Preaching and preaching one of the over 46,000 different idols of Christianity until death means what exactly? That the falsehoods have all been resolved and become true? Nonsense! 🙄🙄🙄

Re: Jimmy Swaggart Is Dead by Dogalmighty17:
WHEN MEN HAD CONSCIENCE
The story of Swaggart is widely known. Formerly powerful man of God that allowed a prostitute bring him down. But the key lesson is that It doesn't matter how spiritual anyone is, sexual temptation will bring you down if you are not careful.

The funny thing is that Jimmy may have actually repented and God may have restored Grace upon his life. But Jimmy never forgave himself and as such allowed the weight of his sin to silence him. His conscience didn't allow him to look at another person and preach again after that incident.

Compared to the scammers we have here in Nigeria. Hardened criminals on the pulpit. Evidence of their sexual escapades are everywhere on social media and yet they climb the pulpit to preach the gospel unperturbed.

Stephanie Otobo who accused a prominent man of God from Edo state of getting her pregnant and aborting thrive, to Ese Walters who accused a prominent Abuja based pastor of rape. Inspite of the fact that these ladies had sufficient evidence and proof to back up their accusations(Otobo even had hotel receipts and video logs), the accused men of God brushed off these accusations.

Yes we all sin differently. But don't stand on an altar and accuse me of being a sinner when you probably have a lady lodged in a 5 star hotel somewhere waiting for you after the service.

While Jimmy Swaggart may have fallen, he is thousands of times better than anyone we have preaching the gospel in this day and age.

It takes intelligence to do just about everything out there does not mean every intelligent smart person would want to run a scam. If you have not realized this at this point in time, then, my friend... You are not living life yet. undecided
