JUST NOW — Reverend Jimmy Swaggart’s Final Message Released After Death
Baton Rouge, LA — In a deeply emotional moment for millions of followers around the world, the final recorded message of Reverend Jimmy Swaggart has just been released following his passing. The message, reportedly filmed in private just weeks before his death, captures the aging televangelist in a rare, reflective tone — one filled with gratitude, vulnerability, and the unmistakable tremble of a man standing near the edge of eternity.
The video opens with Swaggart seated behind his iconic wooden pulpit, his Bible open to Psalm 51 — the same passage he often quoted during moments of repentance and revival. His voice, though softer than the thunderous sermons of his prime, still carried the weight of conviction.
“If you’re hearing this,” he began slowly, “then I’ve already gone home to be with the Lord. But before I left… there were a few things I needed to say.”
Swaggart, known for his fiery preaching and controversial past, spoke not of scandals or headlines, but of grace.
“I’ve lived long enough to know that mercy isn’t a doctrine — it’s a person. His name is Jesus. And He never let go of me, even when I let go of myself.”
In the message, which lasts just under ten minutes, Swaggart expressed deep love for his family, especially his wife Frances, whom he called “the anchor of my soul.” He offered tender words to his son Donnie and grandson Gabriel, urging them to walk humbly, preach boldly, and never forget the cost of the cross.
But perhaps the most striking moment came near the end, when Swaggart looked directly into the camera and, with tears in his eyes, whispered:
“Tell them… I never stopped singing. Even when I had no stage. Even when my voice shook. I sang because I believed. And I believed because He saved me — again and again.”
The video has already begun circulating among church leaders, family, and longtime supporters. According to a spokesperson at Family Worship Center, the message will be played in full during Swaggart’s upcoming Celebration of Life service, set to be held later this week in Baton Rouge.
In a time where final words often feel scripted or ceremonial, Jimmy Swaggart’s last message is being remembered as raw, real, and redemptive — the quiet final chorus from a man who once shook the world with his voice, and now, in silence, leaves behind a song that won’t be forgotten.
