Jimmy Swaggart, 90, is critically ill following a cardiac arrest and says he “needs a miracle from heaven

Jimmy Swaggart had a heart collapse and is still in critical condition. As of right now, his condition has not changed. On Monday, June 16, a statement was uploaded on his official Facebook page. It stated, “We pray that you will keep him in your prayers and believe God for a miracle, but above all, we trust in the Lord’s perfect will.”

According to WWLTV, the 90-year-old preacher and televangelist suffered a heart arrest on Sunday morning, June 15, at his residence in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

A Father’s Day message asking for prayers was posted on his official account less than two hours after the first one.

We kindly request that you offer up prayers for Brother Swaggart on this Father’s Day. This morning, he needs a miracle from heaven. We need your prayers and the Lord’s intervention in this matter,” the post said. During a Sunday prayer service, Donnie Swaggart, his son, and Donnie’s son, Gabriel, hurried “to mother’s house” and alternated performing chest compressions on Jimmy until help arrived, according to WWLTV.

According to Donnie, “they were able to get a heart beat back,” “Right now, he is in ICU and without a miracle, without a miracle, his time will be short.” “We’re going to give the Lord a chance to work,” he added. We’re not going to back down.

We’re not going to give up. Regardless of whether he is healed or not, God remains God, and we will not give up.” Megan Kelly, a spokesperson for Swaggart Ministries, informed the television station that Jimmy’s family had made the trip to be with him during this time.

The Jimmy Swaggart Ministries empire, which includes the SonLife Broadcasting Network and the Family Worship Center, was established by the Pentecostal televangelist and gospel performer.

Another factor contributing to his popularity is a 1988 scandal in which he was seen on camera entering a motel with a sex prostitute from New Orleans. After that, Jimmy’s ministries suspended him.

According to Kelly, “yes, we had a rather large bump in the road,” the news site reported. However, he has returned, and the tale of his return is considerably more remarkable than anything else. the lives that were spared. His ministry has had a profound impact on countless lives.

Jimmy’s health has started to decline in recent years, she continued. “We respectfully request that you abstain from calling to inquire during this time in order to respect the Swaggart family’s privacy. According to a statement posted on Jimmy’s official Facebook page, “please continue to follow our official Ministry social media pages for the latest information.”
