Bishop T.D. Jakes Calls ICU Recovery a Miracle After Emergency Surgery


Bishop T.D. Jakes is calling his recovery nothing short of miraculous after a serious health scare that landed him in the ICU last week. Speaking to his congregation at The Potter's House via video call on Sunday, the renowned preacher received a standing ovation as he shared his experience and gratitude.

Jakes revealed he had been rushed to the ICU following a sudden onstage medical emergency the previous Sunday, which required emergency surgery. While he didn’t specify the nature of the procedure, he emphasized the gravity of the situation, saying his survival was a testament to God’s grace and mercy.

He assured his congregation that he is on the mend but acknowledged his doctor’s advice to ease back into his routine. Jakes also delivered a heartfelt message about the importance of self-care, particularly for those who dedicate their lives to helping others, calling himself living proof of its necessity.

The incident occurred during last Sunday’s sermon, where Jakes began convulsing onstage. Initially described as a “slight medical incident” by The Potter’s House, it now appears to have been far more serious.

Despite the scare, Jakes remains optimistic, attributing his recovery to divine intervention and sharing his gratitude for being able to continue his journey.
