Bishop TD Jakes, senior pastor of The Potter’s House in Dallas, recently spoke publicly for the first time after a health scare that occurred during a Sunday service. In a touching video shared on social media, TD Jakes assured his congregation that he was stable and recovering following a health incident while delivering a sermon. During the service, the pastor suddenly sat down and began trembling, prompting an immediate halt to the live broadcast.

Sitting in a wheelchair, TD Jakes expressed heartfelt thanks to his medical team and the community that supported him. He shared his gratitude for the prayers, messages, and vigils that helped him through the ordeal. "I’m not afraid to die," he said, emphasizing his trust in God’s will, though acknowledging the pain it would cause his family, church, and supporters.

The 67-year-old pastor reassured everyone that his focus was on rest and recovery. He also reflected on the divine protection he felt during the incident and his commitment to his family and congregation. The church has not given a specific date for his return to the pulpit but expressed gratitude for the ongoing prayers and support from his followers during this time of healing.
