Church services at the Potter's House of Dallas were abruptly halted on Sunday when Bishop T.D. Jakes experienced a health incident mid-sermon. Jakes, a well-known celebrity pastor and motivational speaker, was delivering a message about the joy of preaching before the incident occurred. Video footage of the medical emergency quickly circulated on social media. 'I still love to preach. I ain't tired of preaching,' Jakes, 67, told the congregation. 'I miss you.
' 'Have you ever gone to a hospital to visit somebody and you thought it was going to encourage them, and they encourage you?' That's what preaching is like,' he continued. 'You think you're giving out something, you're getting back more than you gave.' Jakes then proceeded to recite Psalm 19:14 before falling silent. '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,' he said. Jakes then ceased speaking and appeared to have a spasm while seated in his chair, staring into the distance. Attendees rushed onto the stage to assist him, and a speaker requested the audience to pray for him as he received medical attention. Later on Sunday, Jakes' X account released a statement regarding the medical emergency. 'During today's service, Bishop T.D. Jakes experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour-long message,' the statement read. The update also stated that Jakes is currently 'stable and under the care of medical professionals.' 'The entire Potter's House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community,' the message added. 'Thank you for your understanding and continued prayers.'
