I Was On My Way Out Of This World After My Heart Attack – Bishop T.D. Jakes

Popular pastor, T.D. Jakes has come out to reveal that the life-threatening medical emergency he suffered last year was a heart attack.

He recently had his say while speaking to Craig Melvin on TODAY, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, the doctor told him that the right side of his heart stopped getting blood completely, and he was definitely on his way out of this world at that point.

Jakes added that it was definitely a privilege to stand on the other side and get a little glimpse of what it might be like.

His words, “I didn’t really realize what was happening to me onstage until I got to the hospital in an ambulance and fussing that it happened onstage, by the way, because I didn’t want it to happen, and the doctor leaned over my ear and said, ‘You had a massive heart attack.’

The reason I didn’t realize it was because I had none of the symptoms that they say. No numbness, no sharp pain, no anything. I just kind of drifted off to sleep. I didn’t know what it was, but I almost died.

(The doctor) said five minutes later, I’d have been dead on arrival. The right side of my heart had completely stopped getting blood at all.

As long as I was up preaching, I felt fine. But when I sat down, the adrenaline dropped, and it exposed the fact that I was preaching with half of my heart closed through a clot. And they had to go get it.

It’s hard for me to look at that video. They had to claw the microphone out of my hand. But in my mind, I was in a quiet, peaceful, serene, white-enveloped, cloud-enveloped space.

I was on my way out. Afterwards in retrospect, it was such a privilege to stand on the other side, to get a little glimpse of what it might be like, or at least what it was like in that moment for me. I think it was absolutely amazing.

While they were praying, the surgeons were operating while I was awake. They never put me to sleep. Technology is amazing.”

WOW.
