TD Jakes, bishop of The Potter’s House, a megachurch in the United States, experienced a health scare after delivering a sermon on Sunday.
As Jakes concluded his sermon with a prayer, videos shared on social media showed his movements slowing down.
“The meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, oh Lord,” Jakes prayed, his breaths labored.
“My strength and my redeemer, let them go in peace,” he added, with his head bowed and the microphone slowly lowered.
Shortly after, the bishop’s head began to bob back and forth, and his body jerked in an awkward manner.
Church officials quickly rushed to his side to prevent him from collapsing.
In a statement posted on Facebook, The Potter’s House confirmed that the well-known pastor and author received immediate medical attention and is currently in stable condition.
“The entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community. Thank you for your understanding and continued prayers,” the statement concluded.
The church did not disclose whether Jakes was hospitalized following the incident or what might have caused the scare.
