Bishop T.D. Jakes, the founding pastor of the Potter’s House Church in Dallas, suffered a health incident on stage during a sermon on Sunday.
At the end of an hour-long sermon video, the exhausted bishop told his parishioners, “I still love to preach, I ain’t tired of preaching.”
“I love you,” he told the crowd as they applauded. “Now Lord let the words in my mouth and the meditation in my heart be acceptable in thy sight. Oh Lord, my strength, my redeemer, let them go in peace,” he said before dropping his mic.
His body swayed and he appeared to shake slightly as women in the church spoke in tongues. Jakes’ security team rushed to the stage and surrounded him.
It isn’t clear what happened to Bishop Jakes. Some people believe that he suffered either a stroke or a seizure. But doubters say he was faking because he was a regular guest at Sean Combs‘ house parties.
