Bishop TD Jakes declares, “I have no fear of death”

The founder of the Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas, Bishop TD Jakes, has said he is not afraid to die as he addressed the public for the first time following a recent health emergency.

In a shared Wednesday evening, Bishop TD Jakes thanked his medical team and those who prayed for him after he fell ill during Sunday services at his church.

He expressed gratitude to God for sparing his life, clarifying that his condition was not a stroke but could have been fatal without divine intervention.

“I’m so grateful. So grateful to y’all,” Jakes said emotionally, gesturing toward medical staff in blue scrubs.

“I’m not afraid to die. I don’t want to hurt my kids and the people who love me and my church that needs me. The world who called me and the God who sent me. Sometimes you just got to be grateful,” he said.

It was gathered that the 67-year-old pastor had been delivering a sermon when he suddenly sat down and began trembling.

Church members quickly gathered around him, and the live broadcast of the service was abruptly stopped.
