Bishop T.D. Jakes Experiences Health Emergency During Sermon
During a Sunday service at the Potter’s House of Dallas, a significant health incident occurred involving Bishop T.D. Jakes, a prominent pastor and motivational speaker. The unexpected turn of events took place while Jakes was delivering a sermon centered on the joys and rewards of preaching.
In a moment captured on video that quickly circulated on social media, Jakes, 67, had just expressed his passion for preaching to his congregation, stating, “I still love to preach. I ain’t tired of preaching. I miss you.” He further illustrated the often reciprocal nature of preaching by comparing it to visiting someone in the hospital, saying, “You think you’re giving out something, you’re getting back more than you gave.”
After sharing a quote from Psalm 19:14, Jakes suddenly became silent. His last message before the incident was, “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, my redeemer, let them go in peace.” A moment later, he appeared to experience a spasm while seated, prompting immediate assistance from the audience. Attendees quickly surrounded him, and one individual urged the congregation to pray during the medical response.
Following the service, an update was posted on Jakes’ social media account, providing details about his health status. The statement confirmed that he had experienced a “slight health incident” but received prompt medical attention and had delivered a powerful hour-long message just before the event.
According to the update, Jakes is now “stable and under the care of medical professionals.” The statement expressed gratitude from the Potter’s House community for the overwhelming support and prayers directed toward the bishop during this concerning time.
As Jakes continues his recovery, his followers and the broader community are encouraged to keep him in their thoughts and prayers while awaiting further updates on his health and well-being.
