Bishop T.D. Jakes, pastor, author, film maker and founder of T.D. Jakes Ministries, is an anointed speaker and preacher of the Word of God. I first heard him early during the 2020 Lockdown period (although the sermon was actually preached just before the lockdown), in his sermon called “Crushing”, which he delivered at Elevation Church, in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, with a stage design that looks like a study lounge. He had the entire, giant-sized church congregation sitting on the edge of their seats, sometimes laughing, sometimes praising God, and when he got to the climax, the true point of his message, people were crying in such raw, painful sounds that my own, already crying heart just burst out with a cloudburst of tears… How gracefully, how gently T.D. Jakes brings you to look at yourself in your own darkest, most crushing moments in the past or present, and meets you there with Jesus, holding his arms open to comfort you and tell you…

Below, you can see the sermon for yourself, and I add T.D. Jakes’s books, Soar and its follow-up, Crushing for you to download and read in Africa (or where-ever else). I know he would want you to hear and read the message God gave him to give the world…
