Although Jimmy Swaggarts Ministries taught against adultery for years because he was in bondage with the issue, the Lord has found favor with him personally and spiritually. With SBN 24/7 the Lord has given him more souls than ever and it remains the longest-running TV ministry ever…Thank you Almighty God.
I’m so very bless by SBN when ever I hear Donnie Swaggart preach at times reminds me of his father an those that are complaining about Francis don’t you have something better to do
He who has not sinned should be the first one to cast a stone. We all have sinned and come short but thank God he will forgive all our sins. One sin is as bad as the other. I will admit that I was a little taken back when I first heard about his problems, but I was led of the Lord to think about the things that he forgave me of. I realized that I probably would not want to be the first one or as a matter of fact, never should I cast a stone.
I am a Nigerian…but so so blessed by Jimmy Swaggart. My parents watched him when I was a child. My parents got so sad when the scandal happened. Today I stumbled on his channel again and tears fell from my eyes as I felt the spirit move. Thank you Jesus that he didn’t stop just because everyone judged him. I love him. His life has shown me that Jesus truly forgives and loves me no matter what and that God doesn’t listen to people’s comments on me to bless me. He blesses me despite my past.
I have been watching Jimmy Swaggert just about all my life. I’m 63 years old…he is such a blessing to me through the Lord! May GOD BLESS you all.
I have listened to SBN and donated to them. I found out they live a very lavish lifestyle and are members of a country club. They sure do not need my money! I wish I could afford to have a facelift and a neck lift!.
If you were truly giving your money to God you couldn’t talk like this. It’s not Jimmy you are supposed to be giving to, so when you give and release it, it’s God’s business what’s done with this money. I wouldn’t want his job or responsibility.
Frances is still old…going on 90 years old, so what good does it do to throw money away for that. It does not influence God.
sonlife is found on dish network channel 257
MY DAD WAS BED RIDDEN FOR SIX YEARS. HE FOUND JIMMY Swaggart on TV. and started watching it everyday. an accepted christ as his savior. He is now in heaven. I am now a media member.and support the ministry so others can hear the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
470 on Spectrum, not sure if that’s the same one, but check it out
We must remember we are all human and will make mistakes. But when God gives you a ministry of reaching millions there will be situations where the work you began you will have to step away from the public side of.
Sin has God’s forgiveness but if the world gets to see you continue after you fall on things you spoke against for many years you cannot expect people to believe you when you say God will not let you fall. you must repent and Leave the public side of GODS WORK. Others if GOD IS WILLING can continue.
He who has not sinned, cast the 1st stone. We all have skeletons in our closet. When God forgives you, it is over. Please keep up the good work at SBN. I once went to the Family Worship Center. You can feel the power of God when the church service starts.
In the 80’s my two daughters and I watched Jimmy every Sunday and we also went to church. When he sinned my daughters gave up watching him and they both turned against him as they saw him in person and loved him and never could understand how he could do what he did after peaching VERY HARD AGAINST SIN. So years went by and I was checking my Comcast channels and all of a sudden I went to ch.81 and their was Jimmy again, so now I watch him all the time. GOD is his judge and I do not judge him. I love him, but my daughters still will not watch him.. Too bad. I pray daily for them and Jimmy and his ministry as I love watching it. Francis is so young looking, I guess she had a face lift. I am her age and look much older. They are rich and can afford face lifts, beautiful clothe’s and beautiful houses….May God keep blessing them. Love them in Christ.
I feel all of these mega churches have left their morals behind and followed after Trump and his morals. The whole lot of the’White Evangelical churches have dropped all of their morals and followed Trumps morals. They used to be VERY MORAL AND NOW HAVE NONE AT ALL.
Gabriel is one of the best preachers I’ve ever heard and is truly annointed. I would love to see him be the head preacher.
He will be one day!
What channel is SBN on Charter Cable? I cannot locate it. Love this family
Sara Chancey have you been able to find SBN on your Charter Cable?
I don’t think it is
I love Jimmy Swaggart and his wife. Their programme is a blessing I was born on the 15 of March 1959…his son Donnie is a powerful preacher and very anointed…May God bless and keep them and expand their ministry.
I agree about Donny being powerful in the Lord. I was against Jimmy Swaggart because of the past. But I stumbled onto his channel when Francis was on. I was greatly blessed by all the panel as well as Francis. I was “reminded” that God is the judge, not me as He can see what’s in their heart. I believe That God has forgiven Jimmy and blessed the ministry. I watch it daily and feel blessed in my Spirit. Also enjoy Loren and Joseph Larson when they preach. This is actually God’s ministry and I’m glad that the Swaggarts proclaim that. (love the show “Active” too)
The SBN broadcast is on channel 344 for Direct TV…I recently became aware of it also.
I watch nearly every day Frances & Friends. I watch the church services as much as possible. Brother Swaggart is my weekdays’ pastor as I have a home church I attend. I pray God keeps blessing the Swaggart’s in OKC THAT’S THE CHANNEL.
I have Direct TV satellite and cannot find Sonlife channel in order to watch Francis and Friends or Jimmy Swaggart programming. I do have Roku although technological know how is limited.
