t d jakes(005 headshot med) T.D. JAKES AVOIDS GAS EXPLOSION AT HOMEPastor T.D. Jakes says he narrowly avoided being killed in a natural gas explosion at his home – all because of a last-minute change of plans.

According to the Associated Press, 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.”
