Kenneth Copeland asked viewers to put their hands on the television to receive spiritual healing by repeating his prayers. "Thank you, Great Jesus. I thank you and pray to you. Forgive me if I have done anything against you, I pray for you to be good. I am trying to get rid of being sick, protect me from the devils that caused the virus."
The 83-year-old made headlines last year after stating there were "a lot of devils in passenger planes" in defense of his purchase of a $36 million private jet.
