Pastor Donnie!!! I can not even begin to tell you how you have been a blessing to me in my life!! I am a woman who has been seared from my conscious with God every since about age 8. I wasn't physically introduced to the lifestyle until age 18. I grew up in a God fearing , Pentecostal Holiness home. My Mother being the pastor of the church!! I LOVED church, but because of my music!! I was blessed with the gift, to play the drums and then the keys!!! But in my free time the devil toyed with my mind!! So for 20 years now I have been actively "in the life". I was saved in 1990, and then I backslid, then I was saved again in 2005!! This time not to ever let go of his hand, because of people like you that are teaching the word and showing me how to trust and rely on Him!! I know that my total deliverance will come, I just thank God for you!! So PLEASE dont stop teaching the Word. I hope to one day visit your church and meet you in person. You are such an inspiration in my life!! You know,..... you hear preachers preaching against homosexuality all the time, but when it comes from one who has been there!!!!, and KNOWS OUR STRUGGLE!!!................ It makes all the difference!!!
Thank you Donnie!!
Pray for me as I continue to pray for you!!!!
Enjoy your blessings!!!

Pastor Donnie, Greetings in the Name of the Lord.
We all love your songs around the world; we believe you are a devoted and courageous man of God. The words of your songs penetrate heart.
You gave us your testimony, your honesty and simplicity are great. It is encouraging and restoring for people like me who went also through dramatic situations as rapes, abuses, victim of witchcraft, and broken family.
We hear about you in English countries of Africa such as Nigeria, but you have never been in French speaking countries. We feel like forgotten pastor Donnie, we need you too!!!

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK GOD TO TAKE THAT TEMPTATION AWAY FROM YOU AND HE WILL DO IT IF YOU ONLY BELIEVE, WHY ALLOW YOURSELF TO GO THRU THAT WHEN YOU KNOW THAT GOD CAN TAKE IT AWAY ITS NOT THAT HARD ITS ALL UP TO YOU IF YOU DONT WANT TO THAT MEANS YOU STILL WANT TO BE WITH A MAN, YES YOU SAID GOD CHANGE YOU AND HE HAD DELIVER YOU FROM HOMOSEXUALLITY BUT YET YOU ARE BEING TEMPTED, I MEAN WHATS UP WITH THAT? JUST PRAY GOD BLESS YOU

The sin is not the temptation. It is when we give into it. The bible says that when a demon leaves a house it goes roaming then returns to the house and if the house is empty it brings back demons worse than itself to inhabit it. This tells us that Satan and his demons DO check back on us. Obviously Satan would try to tempt us with the things that easily beset us. This was also something imposed upon Pastor Donnie, so there is also shame, guilt, anger etc that he would have had to overcome. What a mighty testimony he has!! Good for him. God said resist the devil and he will flee. He never said the devil/temptation won't come.
Good for you Pastor Donnie!!!

Excuse me sister, but with all due respect, have you ever been delivered and set free from anything???..... the sin is not in the temptation, it is in yielding to that temptation that we sin. Wherever we come from or the very thing that God has deliverered us from Satan will always bring it back around to tempt us!!
Pastor Donnie you keep on being real for us and for yourself!! We love you and God loves you best!!

Pastor Donnie
I am so blessed by testimony and your courage to continue to teach God's love to the nation despite what people say about you. You had to go thru all that stuff because God knew that this situtation would rise up today and needed someone to be able to stand for truth and righteouness.That is why he has chosen you.
Be bless in all your endeavors.

As a child was habitually sexually abused from age 3 - 9, then endured second generation traumatic 2 domestic violence. I now minister to those who have endured sexual victimization. I have been interceding for you my dear brother (Donnie ) since 1998. One night you came to TBN in Hendersonville, I had plan to commit sucide, I was very depressed but you sang Stand in your lime green suit and saved my life 'one more day'. I appreciate you very much!!!! Be encouraged to do the will of the father, Every time I have seen you I say, "there goes my brother."
Grace and Peace
