With his parents, Swaggart attended a small, 25-member Assemblies of God church in Ferriday. He also had a sister, Jeanette Ensminger (1942–1999). The extended family had a complex network of interrelationships: "cousins and in-laws and other relatives married each other until the clan was entwined like a big, tight ball of rubber bands." He is the cousin of rock'n'roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis and country music star Mickey Gilley. They were related by marriage, as Willie's maternal uncle, Elmo Lewis, was married to Minnie's sister Mamie. Jimmy Swaggart All Albums Collection Mp3 Music go the full size Jimmy Swaggart Let Your.Jimmy Lee Swaggart was born on March 15, 1935, in Ferriday, Louisiana, to fiddle player and Pentecostal preacher Willie Leon (known as "Sun" or "Son") Swaggart and Minnie Bell, daughter of sharecropper William Herron.Ordination and early careerPreaching from a flatbed trailer donated to him, Swaggart began full-time evangelistic work in 1955. Although the offer meant a promise for significant income for him and his family, Swaggart turned Phillips down, stating that he was called to preach the gospel. Swaggart's cousin Jerry Lee Lewis, who had previously signed with Sun, was reportedly making $20,000 per week at the time. Sun Records producer Sam Phillips wanted to start a gospel line of music for the label (perhaps to remain in competition with RCA Victor and Columbia, who also had gospel lines at the time) and wanted Swaggart for Sun as the label's first gospel artist. In the late 1960s, Swaggart founded what was then a small church named the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana the church eventually became district-affiliated with the Assemblies of God.In the late 1960s Swaggart began transmitting a weekly 30-minute telecast over various local television stations in Baton Rouge and also purchased a local AM radio station, WLUX (now WPFC). In 1961, Swaggart was ordained by the Assemblies of God a year later he began his radio ministry. In 1960, he began recording gospel music record albums and transmitting on Christian radio stations. In Swaggart's magazine "The Evangelist" he wrote against worldliness in worship music, particularly referring to a Carman concert. Girard himself being one of the pioneers of contemporary Christian music.Swaggart wrote a book "Religious Rock n Roll a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" in 1987. Jimmy Swaggart Ministries still operates several radio stations that operate under the name Sonlife Radio.However, he is known for his cover of Chuck Girard's song Sometimes Alleluia which Swaggart used as the theme to his weekly and flagship namesake program. Swaggart sold many of his radio stations gradually throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. As Contemporary Christian music became more prevalent, the station avoided playing it. Gorman filed a successful lawsuit against Swaggart for defamation and conspiracy to ruin his reputation which led to the award of damages amounting to $10 million in 1991, reduced after an appeal and an out-of-court settlement to $1.75 million. Once he was exposed, Gorman was defrocked from the Assemblies of God, and his ministry was all but ended. Feud with Marvin GormanSwaggart's first exposure was in retaliation for an incident in 1986 when he exposed fellow Assemblies of God minister Marvin Gorman, whom he accused of having several affairs. As a result, Swaggart's ministry became nonaffiliated, nondenominational, and significantly smaller than it was in the ministry's pre-scandal years. Three years later Swaggart was implicated in another scandal involving a prostitute. Carlson summoned Hamill and Gorman to fly to Assemblies of God headquarters in Springfield, Missouri, and arranged for an emergency meeting of the presbyters. On February 16, 1988, Gorman contacted James Hamil, one of the 13-man Executive Presbytery of the Assemblies of God, who called G. Raymond Carlson, the Assemblies Superintendent. Gorman waited almost a year, then hand-delivered a note to Swaggart informing him his time was up Swaggart did not respond. Gorman offered to remain silent if Swaggart would state publicly that he lied about Gorman's affairs. The test was administered after Murphree offered to sell the story to the National Enquirer for $100,000. The test administrator concluded that Murphree had failed to tell the truth on all key questions concerning her statement. According to the Associated Press, Murphree, who claimed to have posed nude for Swaggart, failed a polygraph test administered by a New York City Police Department polygraph expert. The presbytery leadership of the Assemblies of God decided that Swaggart should be suspended from broadcasting his television program for three months. One of the men shown leaving Room 7 was Swaggart. This was done to establish that the room was being used for prostitution. He spoke tearfully to his family, congregation, TV audience, and finally said, "I have sinned against You, my Lord, and I would ask that Your Precious Blood. This image of a crying Swaggart has become a symbolic illustration of the televangelist scandals of the late 1980s.On February 21, 1988, without giving any details regarding his transgressions, Swaggart gave his "I have sinned" speech on live television.

Murphree failed questions about whether she was paid or promised money to "set up" Swaggart, and whether she made up the story to make money from it. Levy stated that the Enquirer decided not to print her story due to the test results, her drug use, and the fact that she had arrest warrants in three states.

Swaggart then became an independent and non-denominational Pentecostal minister, establishing Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, based at the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the Sonlife Broadcasting Network (SBN) which can be seen in the United States and other countries. Believing that Swaggart was not genuinely repentant in submitting to their authority, the hierarchy of the Assemblies of God defrocked him, removing his credentials and ministerial license. His return to the pulpit coincided with the end of a three-month suspension originally ordered by the denomination. The national presbytery of the Assemblies of God soon extended the suspension to their standard two-year suspension for sexual immorality. I mean, that's why he stopped me.
