The Potter’s House senior pastor has given supporters an update on his health in a video message to church members. This comes just one week after suffering a medical emergency during a sermon, which led to the Bishop being rushed to the hospital.
In the message to members of the megachurch Potter’s House of Dallas, Jakes revealed that he underwent emergency surgery, asking congregants to “praise God that we’re not planning a funeral.”
“Many of you don’t realize that you’re looking at a miracle,” he said in the video. “I faced a life-threatening calamity, was rushed to the ICU unit, had emergency surgery, survived the surgery.”
This update comes following a startling moment during his sermon on Sunday, Nov. 24, during which Jakes could be seen putting down his microphone and shaking in his seat before those around him rushed to help. Shortly thereafter, the church released a statement saying that Bishop T.D. Jakes, “experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour-long message.”
