Dallas megachurch pastor T.D. Jakes says a last-minute change of plans saved him from being killed in a natural gas explosion at his home.

Jakes told thousands at Sunday’s service at his church — The Potter House — that he would have been getting dressed near the blast last week had he not suddenly had the feeling he should call off a planned meeting.

Instead, he wasn’t anywhere close to the blast centered in a sunroom of his house in Fort Worth. No one was injured

Fire Department Lt. Kent Worley said Sunday that investigators ruled the blast accidental. He said the sunroom had a gas-fired pool heater and a large gas-fired barbecue grill.

Jakes praised God for keeping him safe and described his situation as “inconvenient, but alive.”

    Cool_Bentley, don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m truly interested in what you mean by what you just wrote…could you elaborate for me?

    jakes was spared for a reason. maybe its because god is pleased with his work as a bishop. hes not just a pastor. but how is he fake and how is he pretendin about anything? he denys the trinity? wtf r u talkin about with this “god head” thing?! there is no creature of spiritual being called a ‘god head’! if there was it would be in the bible. and do go tellin me the whole song and dance of “oh, it was left out of the good book because “they” dont want you to know”. r u talkin about fornicatin with the Begotten Heavenly Father??? i know you’re goin straight to hell when you die! i know the bible says not to judge others, but it also says those who are blasphemous of our Lord God will be punished with fire and brimstone. t.d. jakes isnt perfect because nobody is, but hes a good man chosen by the Lord to guide His sheep. if you disagree please die.

    The Apostolic church, of which Bishop Jakes is from believes in the Oneness of God…
    There is no “Trinity”
    Jesus is the Father!
    Jesus is the Son!
    Jesus is the Holy Ghost!
    There are no “3 Persons”…
    check the book of Revelation,
    “…He that sitteth on the throne…” If there are 3, then someone is sitting on someone’s lap!
    When you read Revelation chapter 1, you will find those words written in Red (Meaning Jesus is speaking)The same words are written in Isaiah 40-48!!!

    OK, I don’t claim to be a Bible expert, or to know the the teachings of T.D. Jakes, but I do know some of the scriptures. If you know anything about the Bible, then you know it too. First, Jesus came to us first as the son of man. He was placed in Mary womb by The Holy Spirit sent from the Father (God). When Jesus left the earth, he said he was going away to prepare a place for us in his fathers house. He also said that he would sitting on the right hand of God (The Father) making intercessions for us. Come on, we are not that stupid to think that they have to be sitting on top of one another in order to be in the same place. Secondly, we do not have to be able to explain everything in order to believe it to be true. We are only given bits and pieces of the mysteries of life. We can’t handle everything anyway. So stop trying, just focus on yourself and what you can do to make things better for others. The Holy Spirit was left to be a comforter, teacher, and help guide us through life. That is what we have to do while we are on this earth is to go through. That is the only way to get to the other side. Right!! God likes order. He is the Father, for he sent his son Jesus to be given up for remission of our sins. That was the only way we could be brought back into the presence of God. Flesh can not glory in his presence, so we must go through Jesus Christ (our savior). Jesus, The Holy Spirit and God are one because the all come from God (The Father). They are 3 separate beings and they are one.

    Many preachers, many teachers interpertating the word of God as they perceive it to win souls to Christ. What we understand that there is a promise to those who seek the Lord with all their soul, with all their mind, with all their heart. Now who is good? None but God. We falter, make mistakes, still there is mercy for you and me. Remember God is merciful and forgiving and the bible tells us to be likewise. Do you believe in praying for one another? Then wait for the promise to be fulfilled through your prayers. Anyone who is truly seeking God for his life will hear from the Lord himself concerning all things for his heart desires knowledge. Our personal relationship with the father prepares us to deal diligently in this world, to not be shaken, but to be steadfast and umovable. When we know the word for ourselves and have studied to show ourselves approved we see ourselves as the father sees us. He sees us above being effected by the ones who live and do differently than he wants. Yet, he puts a compassion in our hearts to “Watch” (ask the question “How would Jesus view this”) “Fight” (Bring your flesh into subjection and respond as Jesus would)(let this mind be in you which is also in Christ Jesus) “Pray”(When you’ve done all you can to stand, stand) Let you prayers and suplications be made known to God concerning all matters.

    God is Love (God is not a hater). Lets work out our own soul salvation as we pray for others.

    For it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching that man should be saved

    1 Corinthians 3:18-23 (New International Version)

    18Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a “fool” so that he may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”[a]; 20and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”[b] 21So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours, 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas[c] or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

    Grace and Peace
    Janicea
