elvis got recomitted to jesus just a month or so before he died ,Rex humbart came to his house and elvis was saves that day in his room in his house in memphis.
don't you just love these guys ( and girls) they're just so honest and transparent. God bless Donny for having the guts to tell his story. As to the comment that Elvis wasn't strong enough to make the testimony of accepting Jesus - well none of us is strong enough , that's why we need Jesus.We don't know what dealings he had with the Lord in the moments before he died and as the same person said 'we won't know until we get to heaven'.
Without the experience there is no such testimony. Wonderful to know it. Thank God for Calvary. If you just back up to the cross, you don't have to relive what is beyond it...you can start there and go forward! What a thought! What God puts in bottom of the sea, no fish line can reach! Amen.
WHAT AN AWESOME, AWESOME TESTIMONY OF A MODERN DAY PRODICAL SON COMING HOME TO HIS FATHER WHO HAD NOTHING BUT LOVE AND FORGIVENESS IN HIS HEART FOR RECONCILED SON... THANKS FOR SHARING THIS HIGH DRAMA TESTIMONY...
Donnie - don't know if you will ever read this. I saw the beginings of your drug use at the music school in '72. Then you were no longer with the Stamps. I prayed for you for years, wondering if you had been snatched away by drug use. It has only been recently that I found out that God had cleaned you out and again you were serving HIM. Praise His Name!
It very sad Elvis wasn't able to make it through his bottom. I think instead of people focusing on what happened to Elvis, they should focus on the fact that EVEN Elvis feel victim to a deadly disease. This devil doesn't care who you are or what you have. If you let him in he'll rob you of your life if he can. Thank God Donnie was able to turn his will over to God before it was too late. What a message of hope this is. Thank you for posting it.
Wow, I haven't cried like that since my dad passed away. I can also relate to Donnie. That was also God's Will for me to see this. I need all the help and reminder I can get in order for me to get another day clean and sober. "Religion is for those afraid of going to hell, spirituality is for those who have already been there". Just a quote by someone I agree with and relate to. It's funny how I just assumed these guys couldn't know the hell people like me have been through. Wow was I wrong!
wonderful! although my testimony isn't as dramatic, we all have to see how we were no better than the worse of the worse when we compare ourselfs to jesus. the proud and haughty beware.
AGAIN, I feel elvis wasnt strong enough to make the testimony of accepting jesus christ... we will never know if he did until we get up there..may Jesus bless donnie...
@The777stantheman777 we don't need to be strong enough to accept Jesus, we need to realize we are weak , fallible, and in need of Him and His strength to get through this life
I'm so bessed by what the Lord did in this man's life, and the humble spirit of gratitude. This guy would be a great interview for Bill O'Reilly or Mike Huckabee (Elvis fans), especially in light of the sad Michael Jackson saga. Folks need to know that even a 'king' needs the Savior. I pray the Lord opens many doors for Donnie to share the hope in Jesus Christ.
me too,& im not proud of it,i was the prodigal son..He/said He would,and by the grace of God,i'm gonna live 4ever,..have you ever heard the song:Jesus,Have Mercy on Me...it's great,& glen payne is on here singing:"The Prodigal Son"/with Cathedrals,..have a blessed day...
Wow did this come at the right time. My life is as much of a mess as his was. I need to make some decisions in my life that get me back walking to the light of Jesus
one of the most profound testimonies i have heard of how an earthly father committed his very life to seeing a wayward prodigal son come back to God, and be used once again as a vessel unto honor. i'm watching this at a gas station and I couldn't keep the tears rolling down my eyes. praise God.
God was there when I couldn't go any lower & saved me also. Praise Him for his loving kindness & his infinite mercy! I had a praying mother who petitioned God in my behalf. Don't ever give up praying for your lost loved ones!
Maybe we haven't all gone done this road but we are all sinners saved by grace, and I am so thankful for my musical hero's to let us know they are also human and make mistakes in their lives
Awesome testimony Donnie! God has a plan for us all, and yours was to stay on this earth, and spread His Gospel through that awesome voice of yours. God Bless You Donnie!
I love the point he made....God saw what I was going to do. Before the beginning of time. And the Day Jesus died on the cross...God Made a way.. Not for me to redo my past...But a place where I could back up to and start over... I claim that tonight.... Ya'll pray for me...I need to crucify my flesh and take up my cross.....
This is such a heart-warming testimony! Praise God that Donnie came back home! Praise God for a loving and praying earthly Dad. Oh my, I am about to start speaking in those Holy Ghost tongues! Praise be to God! Thank you so very much hoover4000 for posting this. It has really touched my heart!
I love this man. Oh, for some reason it feels like he is the dad I never had. When I listen to Donnie, I relate to all that he says. He touchs my heart like none I have ever heard. I have suffered a little of the pain that he has, not for the same reasons, but pain is pain. He speaks to me as no other.You have shown me that God's love is never ending and all enduring and that his forgiveness is everlasting. Thank you Donnie. I love you.
Donnie Sumner is such a great man. He visits my church in Louisville often and is always a blessing. He has definitely been a blessing to me, because I ran from God also...
"Thank You" for sharing this video. Now I can use it and this site to spread the Good News with my friends and loved ones. After they hear this wonderful testimony, I think their lives will be changed too. My life sure changed after hearing Donnie's testimony! Thank You Jesus for this wonderful man that you have taken and used him for your purposes.
This testimony is so moving. I cried the whole time. He is so honest. Makes me feel aware one more time that we owe all to Jesus. No man is saved by himself.
There is something about Donnie Sumner that has always touched me. I love the pure sound of his voice. I see in him the hurt and all the pain in this world that sin can cause to a person. He ha such a testimony to those that are suffering and hurting. I love this man. Thank God that he got past all of the pain and now he has a life.
That was absolutely fantastic. I'm a guy and don't cry much, but that testimony had me balling. It's just a fantastic story of God's unfailing love and that the prayers of a righteous person really can change things. Thank you for posting this!!! :) Blessings.
WOW! AWESOME FOOTAGE!!! PRAISE GOD!
