Bishop T.D. Jakes, the founding pastor of the Potter’s House Church, a mega-church based in Dallas, United States, has expressed gratitude to everyone who prayed for him and sent texts when he suffered a medical emergency last Sunday.

The popular Bishop, in a video posted on his official Instagram account, appreciated everyone, adding that he is now in a better place.

The New Diplomat reports that during a sermon on Sunday, Jakes, the 67-year-old cleric who stood before the congregation on Sunday, delivering the final words of his sermon, suddenly lowered his microphone, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

He was immediately rushed to the hospital where he received medical treatment.

In a video shared on Instagram after the incident, the church leader appeared to be wearing a green baseball cap and sunglasses and seated in a wheelchair.

Jakes began by thanking the healthcare team that assisted him. He then extended his appreciation to the countless individuals who prayed, sent messages, and expressed their support.

He said: “It didn’t have to end this good. I’m so grateful.

“I’m grateful to y’all, all the people who prayed, all the people who texted, all the people who had prayer vigils, all the people who were concerned and sent love and sent notes. I’m just grateful.”

Though there have been speculations that Jake suffered a stroke, the Bishop denied the reports.

He continued: “I give thanks unto the Lord that I did not have a stroke. However, the event could’ve been fatal if it weren’t for God’s intervention.

“A special thank you to God and the medical professionals in our city whose speed and expertise were beyond exceptional.”
