1 FMH Children s Club International A Company Of Prophets P.O. Box El Paso, TX The following letter-form was brought about as a means of teaching my children the Word of God through the mail. And of course, quite naturally so, that s the reason I begin these letters with "Dear Children" and end them with "Love Dad". So for the rest of you who participate in these weekly messages, please keep their original intended purpose in mind. 22 April, 2012 Dear Children, Today s message Is Donnie Swaggart Really Married To Debbie? has been a long time coming! In fact it all goes back to our 5/5/02 sermonet Is Jimmy Swaggart s Wife Frances Really Uncovered? Because you see that was the sermonet in which the Lord started to reveal His Truth concerning the spirit of Jezebel in Mrs. Frances, and the spirit of Ahab in Mr. Jimmy, and the way in which it was affecting Mr. Donnie and his marriage to Mrs. Debbie. So, that was in the beginning. But now, some ten (10) years later, it s time to blow the lid off this evil story of Donnie And Debbie s Divorce And Remarriage so that the whole wide world might know God s Truth! Amen? And to kinda like get this one started, the Lord brought the following definition to mind: The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly' meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks' meaning 'blood sucking parasites'. Poly-tics! What a disgusting set of words that is once you truly reflect on the implications thereof. But moving right along, here s a few more interesting facts about that disgusting word from Wiki : 1

2 Politics (from Greek politikos "of, for, or relating to citizens") as a term is generally applied to the art or science of running governmental or state affairs, including behavior within civil governments, but also applies to institutions, fields, and special interest groups such as the corporate, academic, and religious segments of society. It consists of "social relations involving authority or power" and to the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy. And with that in mind, let s go a little deeper in our investigation by checking out what Wiki has to say about the other P word that s cojoined with the first: Power - Political scientists have frequently defined power as "the ability to influence the behaviour of others" with or without resistance. The term authority is often used for power perceived as legitimate by the social structure. Power can be seen as evil or unjust, but the exercise of power is accepted as endemic to humans as social beings. Now, before we get into the religious ramifications of poly-tics and it s power, please allow me to share with you the truth as it concerns our very own government. Because you see it was during the early part of 1990 that the Lord God Almighty told me, Don t vote, it s no use! His instruction to me was clear and concise, but yet it wasn t until many years later that I started to understand why He said what He said. And that s right about the time we produced our expose entitled Vote??? Why Bother!!! Poly-tics: the power, whether good or evil, to influence the behavior of the people! And what better example of the evil power in poly-tics than the man George W. Bush who won the hearts of many by claiming to be a follower of Christ (Christian). George W. Bush became the 43rd President of the United States and served as our political leader from 2001 to And seeing how a picture is worth a thousand words, here s a four thousand word description of that same Christian in picture form: 2

3 Now, if you have any doubt whatsoever, about this true spirit in George W. Bush that was leading the people of our great nation straight into the abyss with the Antichrist and his One World Government with it s One World Religion, then please make sure to read Vote??? Why Bother!!! In fact, while you re at it, check out our sermonet Nation Against Nation, And Earthquakes In Diver s Places! The reality of George W. Bush will become abundantly obvious in that one. And moving right along in the poly-tics of our United States Government, we have Barak Hussein Obama. How many Christians do you think voted for him? And with two thousand words in mind, here are the two pictures: Without a doubt, there were many who saw Barak Hussein Obama as the coming Messiah that he thought he was but he certainly didn t fool the Jews! Poly-tics sucking the life s blood right out of the people! Well, I dare say that s enough already concerning poly-tics and our United States Government. So moving right along, it s time to take a closer look at the blood suckers in the world of religion. And with Jimmy Swaggart Ministries in mind, let s do a quick review of what took place in our 5/5/02 sermonet Is Jimmy Swaggart s Wife Frances Really Uncovered? *************************************** In fact while we re on the subject of Frances Swaggart s "overpowering control", it was on the 23rd of April that the Lord had me watch a very powerful video in preparation for this message. Now even though it s going to be very hard for me to accurately describe what went on during that 1997 Easter Campmeeting Service, I ll do the best job that I can under the circumstances. Because you see when it comes to the Supernatural Workings of the Holy Spirit, it s impossible to properly put what He does into words. And considering what happened to Donnie Swaggart during that particular service, my job of trying to explain it is going to be extremely tough. But anyway, as I watched the video, one of the first things the Holy Spirit pointed out to me was that Frances Swaggart was not seated in the pulpit area by her husband. She wasn t there in the service and the Holy Spirit let me know that that s the way Father God had planned it. Because you see what was about to take place in the life of Donnie was in effect what needed to happen to Brother Swaggart too... and it all goes back to Frances Swaggart s 3

4 "overpowering control" of other people. She wasn t there because Donnie was about to be delivered from his mother s "overpowering control". [Watch Donnie Swaggart s supernatural deliverance in the video at (Donnie becomes totally overcome with the Holy Spirit. He speaks only in tongues while his body goes through some very unusual movements. It appears as if a very heavy yoke has been placed on his shoulders and then removed. As the yoke is being removed Donnie is almost lifted off the floor and then flipped over onto his back on the floor. For approximately the next five minutes Donnie remains on his back and on the floor while the congregation gives praises to the Lord in tongues ) Now the amazing thing about this supernatural display of the Holy Spirit was that it happened to Donnie. I mean when you go back to the reason given for God doing what He did during that service The Lord saith unto this house that the spirit of the enemy that has been sent from Hell to destroy this house and destroy this work this day has been banished...the yoke has been destroyed! you would have naturally expected it to happen to Jimmy Swaggart and not his son. After all, it was Jimmy Swaggart s yoke of sin concerning the prostitute that brought utter chaos to the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries. So why wasn t it Jimmy Swaggart who got deliverance from the enemy instead of Donnie? Well first of all, don t you just love the message that the Lord gave Donnie for this very special event "To Preach Deliverance To The Captives." You see this all goes back to what we ve been trying to say throughout our four (4) sermonet messages to Brother Swaggart: You can t be delivered from the yoke of sin unless you walk in obedience to God s Word. This is what the Cross of Christ is all about! We must accept what Jesus has done at the Cross, receive His Spirit in us to clean us up, and then just do whatever He tells us to do come "Hell or high water". The Believer s yoke of sin will be destroyed through their suffering as they walk in obedience to God s Word! *************************************** So, that s a sample of what the Lord had us to say about that graphic 1997 Easter Campmeeting video (#14-181) in our sermonet Is Jimmy Swaggart s Wife Frances Really Uncovered? But then it was almost one (1) year later the 29th of April 2003 that I received an from Pam Montague concerning what we had written. And here s a portion of what she had to say: My husband and I occasionally visit FWC and we actually went the first night of Easter Campmeeting. There on the FREE table, was the Membership Directories. I questioned why a church would give away free (or get rid of) its directories, even for the public and non-members to 4

5 have access to. Well, that was answered by the above mentioned former members. But also, because supposedly, Donnie and Debbie Swaggart divorced not too long after the directories were published! Did you know this? Has the Lord revealed anything to you about Donnie and/or Debbie?? My husband and I wondered why we would never see Debbie in the services. And what blows me away, is that before I came across your website, there was a First Baptist Church's advertising back in March, that Donnie was going there to speak on--recovering from divorce. Is this true about this couple? What a bomb of an that one was! Donnie and Debbie divorced and Donnie preaching on divorce recovery? Well, I immediately responded to Sister Pam s offer of the FWC Membership Directory (that s where I got the Donnie/Debbie picture), and then hit my knees in prayer as to what might have gone wrong in their marriage. And the following is what I received from the Lord shortly thereafter and added as an update to the sermonet: *************************************** And, after having read through that very important from Sister Pam, the question came to mind as to "just how could the enemy have gotten through and destroyed Donnie and Debbie Swaggart's marriage?" I didn't have the slightest clue...that is until the 26th of June, 2003, when the Lord gave me the following Scripture as applying to Brother Donnie: "I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, [but] that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you." (Leviticus 26:13-17) So what do you think it all means? How does it apply to Brother Donnie and the "curse of divorce" that's now come on him? Well by going back to the Supernatural display of God's Holy Spirit Power during the 1997 Easter Campmeeting Service, as that "yoke of sin" was removed from around Brother Donnie's neck, we can get the answer to our question on Brother Donnie's "curse of divorce". Because it was my question to the Lord of "why wasn t it Jimmy Swaggart who got deliverance from the enemy instead of Donnie?" that got the following answer: "Donnie is the one who s suffered on God s altar, in obedience to God s Word, so that his mother s "overpowering control" is no longer "bewitching" him..." 5

6 So it was during the 1997 Easter Camp Meeting Service that Donnie Swaggart got delivered from the "yoke of his mother's overpowering control". He was set free through the Power of the Almighty! However, what happened sometime later was what we find in God's Word (Leviticus 26:13-17) concerning Brother Donnie: "...I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. But if ye will not hearken unto me...so that ye will not do all my commandments...i will set my face against you"! Donnie was "set free" from his mother's "overpowering control"...until he chose not to obey God in all that He had commanded him to do. God then "set his face against him" with the resulting consequence being Brother Donnie's "curse of divorce". In fact God's Word clearly states how Brother Donnie should have handled the situation with his mother: "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (Genesis 2:24) *************************************** What a mess! For all those under the power of her spell, whatever Jezebel wants, Jezebel gets! So Donnie willingly goes back under his momma s yoke, gets a divorce from Debbie, and then goes on to preach about his divorce recovery while making Debbie the scapegoat for his sin! But not everyone at Jimmy Swaggart Ministries bought into Donnie s lie. In fact this is what Kerry Rhys had to say about it in our 5/15/11 sermonet Why Was Allison Collins-Rhys At Jimmy Swaggart Ministries? : It was April 2003 and Swaggart just had the big church split after Donnie's divorce. Some were fired, both ministry staff and music departemnt staff, for staying in contact with Debbie Swaggart who they admired which culminated in Swaggart's long time music director, Rita King resigning. A "church split" ensued with quite a few of the congregation and staff leaving...rita King and her husband starting a church with part of the congregation, another pastor who was fired for communication with Debbie Swaggart starting another church with other members that left in the fray. What a mess! Jezebel in the Church! Like a bull in a china shop, reaping havoc on all that is holy! And speaking of holy, the following is what Jesus had to say about Donnie letting his mother break up his God-ordained marriage to his God-given wife Debbie: And he [Jesus] arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was 6

7 wont, he taught them again. And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. (Mark 10:1-11 KJV) You see there are a whole bunch of marriages being performed around the world everyday, but yet very few of those married couples can actually say, God joined us together! Unless the Lord God Almighty specifically chooses the man for the woman, and the woman for the man, they are not joined together by God and Jesus warning in the preceding Scripture does not apply. However, as it concerns Donnie s marriage to Debbie, and Debbie s marriage to Donnie, the two were joined together by God because it was the Will of the Father they marry. The Lord God Almighty in Heaven predestined the marriage of Donnie and Debbie! Their marriage was sacred! And of course that s the reason for the very serious warning to all those who would dare desecrate that which God had made holy: Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. So Donnie listened to his momma, and he didn t cleave to his wife, and it only went downhill from there! Because in our 3/31/11 sermonet Tareva Henderson Speaks Her Mind On The Jimmy Swaggart Ministries! we gave even more of the gory details of the destruction that took place at Jimmy Swaggart Ministries as Donnie continued his fiery tailspin by adding the sin of adultery to his sin of divorce : I went there years ago after the downfall around 2003 only to help my brother because he told me the music department was in a mess and falling apart. The place was empty and sad and a spirit of oppression ran across the buliding because no one trusted each another or anyone else. The dooms about divorce was always preached then Donnies "second" marraige is to a girl thats been divorced five times and the married couples working there cheating on one another with other employees. Families turning against one another like enemies of war over money and who is right. Anytime something got too crazy they just gave everyone a raise to calm them down. What a mess! Carnage and destruction everywhere! In fact a large part of this disaster was due to the poltergeist the spirit of divorce and the spirit of adultery that Donnie (as a pastor) welcomed into the church when he divorced his God-given wife Debbie and married the five (5) time divorcee Judy Dove. 7

8 8

9 What a mess! Both the adulterer and the adulteress masquerading as God s anointed ministers as they work the congregation! Thank God it didn t happen in the Old Testament times! I mean there definitely would have been a double funeral to end their blasphemous charade: And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 KJV) So with all that in mind, let s now turn our attention to the photo below with all it s religious poly-tics : (Listen to the audio at Now I m quite sure you must have noticed the bright yellow ruler over the top of the Swaggart s family portrait that was taken during the final service of Jimmy Swaggart s 2011 Thanksgiving Campmeeting. And of course it s there (right above the hand) for a reason. I mean it helps you see that Debbie Swaggart (the one in the white dress that makes her stand out in contrast with the others) is positioned almost dead center of this picture that most public relations experts would call a photo shoot for the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries press release that announced the return of Donnie s God-given wife Debbie. You see Donnie needed some good press seeing how he s taking on more of the responsibilities as the pastor/evangelist of the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries. I mean, after all, his escapades with Judy did the job on his credibility rating as a pastor: 9

10 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. (1 Timothy 3:1-7 KJV) So, those are the Biblical requirements for anyone desiring to be a Bishop which in today s terminology is one and the same as a Pastor. And it shouldn t be any too hard to pick up on the fact that Donnie Swaggart really blew it by committing adultery with his second wife after having divorced his first wife that God Almighty sternly warned him not to divorce in the first place. In other words, Donnie Swaggart does not meet God s qualifications for Pastor! Donnie Swaggart is by no means blameless in his marriage relationship! And of course that s the reason for the photo shoot which was meant to pursuade the people to vote for Donnie, and even though he doesn t meet the requirements of the position. Poly-tics! And religious poly-tics at that, conducted during the service time that should have been used to worship God! What a sham! What a farce! What an utter disgrace in the eyes of God! So that s kinda like an overview of this message, and now it s time to get down with a few of the facts. 1. Donnie divorced Debbie in the early part of 2003 (February May time frame). 2. Donnie was married to Judy on the 1st of September 2004 by the Reverend Jimmy Swaggart. (Judy s previous marriage #5 had been officially ended one month earlier.) 3. Donnie was divorced by Judy in February of Donnie was remarried to Debbie on the 14th of September 2011 at 1:00 PM by the Reverend Jimmy Swaggart. 5. Family photo shoot and initial press release of the Donnie/Debbie marriage on the 27th of November 2011 during Thanksgiving Campmeeting services. Now those are the facts. Donnie Swaggart actually went through the procedures of remarrying Debbie. But the question remains: Is Donnie Swaggart Really Married To Debbie? Is Donnie and Debbie s marriage of God the way it s suppose to be? But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. (Mark 10:6-8 KJV) 10

11 God s design for the married couple is that the two should become one flesh. And now let s take a look at this flesh of Donnie s that Debbie must become one with: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21 KJV) You see Donnie is an adulterer who has yet to show any sign of repentance for the horrible wrong he did to his God-given wife Debbie. And God s Word promises that the unrepentant adulterer will not inherit the kingdom of God. I mean, at least Donnie s father (the Reverend Jimmy Swaggart) stood before the whole wide world and asked God s forgiveness for his sin of adultery while crying real tears (irregardless of whether they were crocodile tears or not). And with that in mind, is the following the way in which God Almighty expects Debbie to act with an unrepentant adulterous husband like Donnie? Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. (Ephesians 5:22-24 KJV) God forbid that Debbie submits to Donnie as a godly wife to her godly husband because Donnie is not godly! In fact the closer one looks at this Donnie/Debbie remarriage, the more apparent it will become that it s nothing less than religious poly-tics in action as in smoke and mirrors! I mean, let s get real! The wedding took place at 1:00 PM on a Wednesday one of JSM s busiest days of the week and the day that the ministry conducted it s monthly Share-AThon and the Reverend Jimmy Swaggart did the honors. So just how much time do you think was allocated out of the Reverend s busy moneymaking fundraiser to conduct that ceremony? But let s not stop there. Was there ever any wedding pictures published in The Evangelist magazine? You know the gala event that would celebrate the new beginning of a pastor and his wife that had rededicated their lives to serving their Lord. And with that in mind, how many times has Debbie been seen sitting on the platform by her pastor husband during the service since their remarriage? And how many times has Donnie publicly talked about his new bride and his rededicated love for her since their remarriage? Has anybody actually seen Donnie and Debbie traveling together, and ministering together, as a godly pastor and his wife would naturally do? 11

12 Well, I hope you re getting my point. But just in case you haven t, let me try one more time with the following in-your-face example. In 1997 Louisiana became the first state to enact the covenant marriage. And this is what it s all about: House Bill 756, the nation's first covenant marriage law, began as an attempt to stem divorce rates. Those who desire a covenant marriage need only tick a box on the one-page state marriage application and execute a declaration of intent, including a statement that "we understand that a Covenant Marriage is for life." Premarital counseling is required. Ending a marriage is still possible, though no-fault divorce is eliminated and grounds for divorce are limited; they include physical or sexual abuse (of either a spouse or child), infidelity, a felony conviction or abandonment. Now, you would think that all Louisiana Christian couples would be eager to testify of their Biblical life-long marriage commitment by taking part in the marriage covenant on their marriage license. But guess what! Donnie and Debbie didn t: So what s wrong with this picture??? Was Donnie and Debbie s remarriage for God or for show? The answer is obvious! The time is drawing near. God is about to put an end to these blood-sucking religious poly-tics! Don t be caught up in their con game! Keep on keeping the faith in Jesus!!! Love, Dad (Bruce Hallman) PS: The documents of proof are attached! (Also, watch Donnie preach on pastors in adultery as Judy sits behind him Donnie_Judy_Hypocrisy.wmv.) PPS: Listen to what a handwriting analyst has to say about the signatures on the two documents below ( 12

13 [Mrs. Frances decided three (3) divorces was enough for Judy (notice eraser marks).] 13

14 14

15 PPPS: The following posting was found on Donnie Swaggart's Facebook a few weeks after the publication of this sermonet: PPPPS: According to the East Baton Rouge Clerk Of Court, both of Donnie Swaggart s divorce decrees are sealed. The Swaggarts did not want us to see what was in them. However, what we do know about Donnie s divorces is that he instigated the divorce with Debbie (Donnie was the plaintiff), but yet Judy was the one who instigated the divorce against him (Donnie was the Defendant). In other words, what goes around comes around! Touché Donnie!!! ALL FOR THE LOVE OF JESUS 15
