TD Jakes Prayer: ‘Let Him Go in Peace’
Bishop T.D. Jakes, one of the most prominent voices in modern Christianity, experienced a medical emergency during his sermon last Sunday. Reports suggest he suffered a seizure, leaving many within the faith community pondering the spiritual and physical implications of such an event. As his sermon transitioned from a heartfelt prayer to instructions for giving, Bishop Jakes’ vulnerability seemed to surface, culminating in the abrupt health crisis.

I miss you, I miss you.” This sentiment shines a light on the paradox that many in ministry face—the deep love for their calling weighed against the demands that come with it. For Jakes, who had recently returned from ministering in Zimbabwe for The Jubilee Conference earlier in November, the strain of global ministry likely compounded the exhaustion.
In the aftermath of the incident, Bishop Jakes’ daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband, Touré Roberts, provided an update on his condition through social media. They assured the faith community that Bishop Jakes is in stable condition and recovering well from the incident.
