Blessings - Dwain Johnson
Jesus Got A Hold Of My Life
Blessing
Dwian Johnson
SHILOH LP-15,000 JIM Records
1977
Does anyone know where Dwain Johnson is today? He is no longer with Jimmy Swaggart Ministries effective sometime in the early 1980's. Is he still singing today?
Dwain Johnson, the guitarist in the Swaggart gospel band was caught in flagrante delicto with Jimmy's daughter-in-law, Debbie. When Swaggart heard about the affair, he reportedly told Johnson that if he wasn't out of town by Monday, he'd be carried out on a stretcher. Eventually, in a settlement negotiated by Swaggart's lawyer, Johnson was given title to a ministry-owned home and allowed to sell it on the open market, netting a profit of about $20,000. That settlement, claims John Camp, was in effect hush money.
Criticism and stone throwing have become such powerfull weapons in churches. Dwain deserves respect. He was not talented and anointed. I BELIEVE HE STILL IS.The things Dwain are accused of,and the person who gets a DUY are in the same boat. God draws the line right through. Any church deemed 'perfect',only will uphold it's status until I walk in. If anyone can get this message to Dwain,please do so. I will appreciate it. And Dwain,if you get this,please continue recording. I think that the folks who 'forgot' about you,are in the minority. As a brother in Christ, this sister,will always love you.
Dwain Johnson was a great talent and was an integral part of the Swaggart ministry. I respect Swaggart a great deal but don't understand how forgiveness isn't given to Dwain Johnson.
I have several records of Dwain's one I have that I like is Heaven on my mind. He was with Jimmy Swaggart then. He had a very nice voice and God really used him. I pray for him often that God will make his latter ministry greater then his beginning! Mark Miller www.Music4HimNow.com
My name is Virginia Rossouw from South Africa. Dwain and I,through his awesome songs,got in touch,wrote to each other,spoke on the phone every second week,and he sent me his first cassette. He verbally encouraged me to listen to the song,titled 'He',when I had gone through some rough patches. If anyone read this,would you please provide me with an e mail address. By the way,it was through the LP above,my family and I started to get familiar,and sang his songs. Please Dwain,if you are reading this,get in touch with me via e mail. God bless
His pastors name is Bobby Ready and you should be able to contact him through the church. Look up Bobby Ready on Facebook and you will be able to contact him.
There is a sample to be heard directly under the image of the jacket. They player is flash and may or may not display on a mobile or pad device depending on the app you have installed.
We were able to get to the Link for "Jesus Got a Hold of my Life". However, we did this via our old Windows XP machine. It won't work with either my Windows 8.1 Desktop or my Windows 8.1 Lap Top.
I use a Mac, so I really don't know. The usual issue is Flash when you can't see the player. You might need to "enable" a Flash plugin in this version of your OS?
i loved to hear dwain sing I especially liked the song redemption draweth nigh is there any way I can get in touch with him to tell him how much I enjoyed his music?
I am a cousin of his, and have been trying to find his address as well. Dwain comes from a wonderful Christian family, very talented his father has written wonderful songs, and his mother was a wonderful piano player. They are both getting up in age but are very devoted to each other and their children. Dwain is Minister of Music someplace in Louisiana... If anyone contacts him please post it. We are all getting up in age, I would love to see him and his sister once more.
Where is Dwayne Johnson, I enjoyed listening to "The Unseen Hand", which I recorded off a program back in the '70's. That song has lead me through…! I have it on an old cassette tape, but would like a CD and more or Dwayne's music.
He is the worship leader at a church in Port Vincent Louisiana named River of Life Worship Center pastored by Bobby Ready. My family and I have been members for 15 years and believe him to be a great man of God. www.riveroflifeworship.com
I had an old cassette recording of this album, which I listened to (as a teenager) over and over again, when I dedicated my life to the Lord. The words to each of the songs on that cassette meant so much to me then, and even in the years to come. I could probably still sing every word! I wish I could get my hands on another copy of this. I wore mine out. lol I never knew what happened to Bro Dwain or his ministry (until reading some of these posts), but I am thankful for this album. It has been a "blessing" for sure!
I first known Dwain Johnson when he sang with the Sammy Hall singers back in the early 70,s.that was when he was his best.He sang songs like Teach Your Children,he did it all for me,Wish we,d all been ready,Jesus will outshine them all.He was with Sammy Hall for a few years and that was when he was his best.Seen him with Sammy Hall for around 3 years.Ralph Moore Gospel Music Time.
