The Change Revolution with Phil Cooke

Dispatches from the front lines of media, faith, and culture

"Master" Prophet Bernard Jordan

OK - normally, I'm skeptical of the religious media "watchdogs" that perform the service of self appointed "theology cop" to the Christian world. HOWEVER - let's talk about "Master Prophet" Bernard Jordan for a minute. What is a "Master Prophet" anyway? Is that like a "Master Plumber?" I don't really find that designation in the Bible...

Anyway - I started watching him on BET early in the morning when I'm working out, and let me tell you - you can just get lost in his website. You can order a personal prophecy, be part of the "prophecology" event (whatever that is), pay $1199 for a year of prophetic teachings, or for only $3,000 become part of the prophetic "inner circle."

I mean let's face it- this guy has endorsements from Al Sharpton, Russel Simmons, and even Rev. Ike. How can you go wrong with that?

So what should we do about this guy? We get bent out of shape when a Pastor struggles with a sexual sin and finally collapses. As least he's struggled and appears to be on the path to restoration. But we let a guy like Bernard Jordan get a pass as if nothing's going on. Where's the Bible Answer Man on this one? Where are the theology cops now?

How do we get the word out and what can be done about guys like this?

I signed up for "The Trailblazer". He is going to "discern" my future for me...what a relief...just what I've been praying for. The best $365 I've ever spent!

i pray that you are not serious. where can you find anywhere in the bible that any prophet of God charges anyone for a word?? when God says speaks, thats it point blank period. im tired of so called men and women of God prostituting the gift and those that coming to them for help arent getting helped. cut him off!! he is a wolf in sheep clothing. and yes i can judge, because im judging rightly as the bible gives me authority to do so. as a man of God notoriey shouldnt even be in your circle. Jesus avoided fame because notoriety will lift you up to a place where you cant reach folk. cut this guy off!

I am with Minister Moore and hope you are joking....

All his prophecies are pre-fabricated and nothing is specila about it- If you get your hands on someone who paid the same amount the same day like you, you will learn that they are all identical

Bishop Jordan is constantly asking for money, which is used for his own greed

Stay away from him

I find it funny that I saw him driving around in a Rolls Royce with the licence plate A MASTER.....I truely wonder where all the money goes!!!

WARNING: The ONLY thing this FALSE PROPHET is about is your money. He is not of God, has nothing whatsoever to do with Almighty God of The Bible and is an abomination. He is nothing more than a modern day snake oil salesman who has taken pimping and whoring off 125TH Street and Lennox Avenue (Harlem USA) and shoved it indoors under the guise of a church. He is a shankster, a liar and a thief. In him there is no truth and he has no connection to the God of The Bible. He's not alone, however. The only way to know who he truly is (as well as others like him) is to read God's Holy Bible. When you know the truth you can not and will not be led astray by these dressed up hooligans.

Why, in the Rolls of course!

I do agree, it's time for the people stop helping these tele-personalities to stop using God's people for greedy gain. God bless you

Hmmmm,

Hopefully this response of mine won't be deleted like the other one was since I think it's only fair that people of different sides of this debate should be allowed to be heard.

Now, what I find amazing is that people seem to be more angry about the money issue than with something actually deemed evil by Scripture. The Word of God NEVER has a low view of money or material prosperity. That's a WASPY modern American interpretation of Scripture. Christianity is EASTERN, both in origin and in perspective!!! Nowhere does the Bible condemn money or being rich. It simply warns us to be good stewards over those riches, which involves our being responsible in our duties to God, to self, to family, and to society with our monetary resources.

All throughout Scripture, those walking properly in covenant with God also eventually came into great financial/material wealth and possessions (Gen. 13:1-2; Job 36:11). Moreover, who does all the money belong to anyway? And where does it come from? I'm not an apologist for Prophet Jordan but I must ask all the prosperity-bashers on this blog:

Is the money Jordan gets "other people's" money?

And, if so, where did THEY get that money from? From the sky? Off of a tree? Or did they mint it themselves?

Is the money you have in your wallet or purse right now YOUR money? Or is a money simply a DIVINE IDEA that comes from the Father to bless all of humanity?

Did Jordan at any given time put a gun to their heads and demand their life or their money?

Is Jordan not following the same exact acceptable pattern that we practice in all of society, which is EXCHANGING VALUE FOR VALUE, i.e., our monetary value in exchange for service value? Didn't the Bible show the people of antiquity exchaning MONEY & FOOD & RICHES FOR PROPHETIC GUIDANCE in 1 Sam. 9:6-13; 1 Kgs. 14:1-6; 2 Kgs. 8:8-11; and other places in Scripture? It's right there IN THE BIBLE!!! Not the Q'uran or the Bhagavad Gita or the Upanishads. The Bible---God's Word!!!

Do prophets have bills to pay, just like any other minister or person in the world? Why are prophets the only people expected to leave their income to the whims of people? When it comes to freewill offerings, how can a person know what your monthly expenditures are so as not to shortchange you in the freewill offering, since the freewill offering is your income? Is every Christian on the planet THAT in tune with the Holy Spirit at all times in order to know just how much they should give in an offering that will NOT leave the man/woman of God shortchanged and in jeopardy of NOT being able to pay their bills? Of course not! Funny how ministers like John Bevere and others, who sell their books and tapes and CDs and DVDs say it's wrong for a minister to charge a fee for a meeting or prophetic guidance when THEY THEMSELVES also charge fees for their resources! If they were consistent, they would GIVE AWAY all their ministry resources FOR FREE. But do they do that? No! Why? Because of something called HYPOCRISY!!!

Instead of spending all of their time trying to figure out why we should NOT prosper, Christians should start celebrating all of the prosperity precepts, promises, and examples we see in the Bible.

Instead of spouting off all kinds of venom and rhetoric based on EMOTION or OPINION or what's POPULAR, why not let's be mature Christians and discuss prosperity and money from SCRIPTURE, exegeted in PROPER CONTEXT, and you'll be amazed at just how concerned the Father is about His children's finances.

The Word says a "good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children" (Prov. 13:22). Now, you can't very well leave much of anything to your grands if you're living a life where only your basic needs are being met with maybe a little left over, now can you? But you can if you're RICH!!! Indeed, "the blessing of the Lord it maketh RICH, and He addeth no sorrow with it" (Prov. 10:22).

Praise God for REAL truth!

Brilliant comments Floyd,

Anyone can spout off rhetoric and emotionalism, especially when it comes to money! But a true thinking Christian man or Christian woman will, as the Word directs us ,will "rightly divide the word of truth".

I am a lover of tradition and one does tend to get comfortable, especially in the church,with what one is use to. However, when traditional beliefs, especially about money, do not line up with the Word, whether they make us"comfortable" or not, we must side with TRUTH and dig deeper so that "with all our getting, we will get an understanding".

I applaude your bravery for standing up and declaring truth.

Go forth my brother in Jesus' name!

Ondrea

wow. The "den of thieves" is open for business!

I agree with you to a CERTAIN extent, I don't think God wants us to be paupers, Because His word does say He is able to do exceedingly and ABUNDANTLY above ALL we can ask or think! & I'm sure we can ALL think of being rich! However, my dispute is with his ARROGANCE! Who is he to call himself a "Master"? Where is his HUMILITY? Why not just be called a Prophet? What makes him better than EVERYONE else to whom God has also given the gift of Prophecy? Wouldn't that fall under the category of PRIDE? Elijah was a great Prophet, but he never requested anyone to call him "master" anything! Isn't God the MASTER? If there are other men/women of God with other gifts, like singing, preaching or writing what would you think of them if they called themselves "master singer", "master preacher" or "master writer"? He makes himself sound like some sort of secular recording artist who doesn't know God at all! His pride and arrogance alone would tell me that he is undeserving! He is no "master" God is the ONLY MASTER! Anything that tries to share attention with God is Anti-God & therefore is not of God! Which is why I wouldn't contribute to his FALSEHOOD!

You've said a page full, however its not of God to gain riches at poorer peoples expense. The word of God says if you GIVE to the poor you lend to the Lord, not if you take from them. There's a difference between leaders who ask for offering and tithe to pay nessasary bills in the church and even a modest salary. But any man/woman of God who's sees nothing wrong with driving around in a rolls royce will their members are taking a bus or driving a hoopty, is very haughty. I'm sooo sick and tired of these greedy preachers making every excuse, and manipulating every scripture in the bible possible to encourge people to give all this money, yet the only ones living like Kings are the ones preaching this filth and their little entourage! Christians are Christ-like, Christ didn't get riches at other peoples expense so a REAL Christian leader wouldn't either.

I agree with you danalove..."its not of God to gain riches at poorer peoples expense". However, I hope you thoroughly understand that statement. Riches shouldn't be gained at the poors expense or loss. As you read the Bible, you will find that their were times that God caused the poor to give even when they thought they couldn't. This was even to the point in which, God instructed a widow to give her "last bit of food" to a prophet. However, it wasn't at her expense but, rather for her gain!! Please know that no where in the Bible does God tell a poor person that they shouldn't give....only that we all do not give grudgingly. Also, if a pastor has to wait for everyone in his church to get a new car before he/she is allowed to purchase a luxury car that would be complete non-sense as well as impossible if it's a growing church.

No one should make Christianity what they "think" it should be, but rather read the Word and study to show yourself approved unto God. Danalove, you propably think your Words sound like God but it isn't scripturally based...at all!! And as far as the "Kings" reference...God himself refers to us as a "royal priesthood" & "heirs of the kingdom".

My words are only in correction of Danalove comments NOT in support of PAYING MONEY to hear a prophetic word!!!!!!!

P.S. I'm "tired of greedy preachers" also!!

I guess I am late in responding. Ms Nikki I you really don't need to be flattering yourself because your response to me is redundant and I don't need your correction. Regardless of what you think greed is greed, and manipulation is manipulation. That's why I'm glad that I have knowledge of what the word says about giving and its parables. So I'm also grateful for the common sense that God gave me, that will NOT allow me to give anymore than what I wanna give which is between me and God. I don't need to read 500 scriptures and hear 1001 different explainations. So if you are feeling so "royal" and "rich" that you wanna help make some preachers benz and mansion payment then you can do that, while I vote with my feet.

i somewhat agree with you. my belief is this, men & women of God sacrifice for the things they get example: God requires much of them, they could be in a service and have say 500.00 and God will ask them for 400.00 of it. thats a sacrifice, or you might have used your faith to get say a nice suit and the first time you wear it God may ask you to give it to someone. again sacrifice. he never asks of us to take but to always give. if he asks of us he is testing us one to see if we have the things or the things have us. if you pass the test not saying its easy or that you won't really feel it sometime, he is trying to position us for way more than we can see at that moment. unless you understand how he moves and have wisdom on obeying and knowing that giving is never a loss its to position us for gain. i don't know enough about jordan to comment but i will say that no matter what career i chose i want to live the best life i can, i see no difference with a call to ministry. this is not something we wake up and say God i want to preach...at least i didn't. i ran for years and did not want to hear anything about preaching cause i had a glimpse of what came with the territory. at this point in my life i surrender. the people taking the bus must use their faith to get them out of poverty & lack, they have to know how to sow seed and command a harvest for better transportation. no preachers shouldnt ignore needs within their congregations however sometimes people just aren't good stewards over what they do have. or the enemy has fought their progress and they need that power broken off their life. these are my two cents :)

This is so true it is sad to see a person who is living in a shelter to give $1.000 dollars instead of giving it to his children. that money could get an apartment and food to eat. This man did not even care. Tha is robbing the poor. taking away from a child. Sin Sin Sin.

Yes the Bible is clear on Riches...

Crystal clear to those who aren't greedy.

Pro 13:7 There is that makes himself rich, yet has nothing: there is that makes himself poor, yet has great riches.

Pro 22:16 He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he that gives to the rich, shall surely come to want.

Pro 23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

Pro 28:11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that has understanding searches him out.

Well said!

I agree on certain levels & on certain levels I don't agree with what your trying to stress. On the one hand, Abraham, David, Solomon, etc. (just to name a few) were "bible characters" (for lack of a better term) that had obtained great wealth, but one thing that I noticed about them was: 1) They put their trust in God (Abraham told Lot to choose what he thought was the better land, because he knew that the land wasn't the blessing, the provider of the land would bless where ever he was; David blessed God & wanted to build Him a house w/ the riches he was a steward over; God in turn told David the He would be him a house instead & David made sure that Solomon had everything the he needed to build a house for God; And if there's one thing that I can say about Solomon, he might have had 1000 women (wives & concubines, respectively), he had one of the richest cultures financially that the earth had ever seen (even man servant & maid servants had gold & precious metals like we have nickels & dimes). Does Bernard Jordan fit into any of these categories? I'll let you be the judge. As far as ministries charging for tapes, DVDs & such the like, I think this could go either way, but more times than none, there's really no profit for the people making these things available to the public. The monies that are charged are just enough to keep that part of the media going & even then, these are not PERSONAL prophecies; in other words, not just paying someone for something that you want to hear (namely, financial prosperity). 2) I know one prophet who didn't charge anything for the prophecy that he had given. Look up Elisha in II Kings 5, when he gave Naaman the Syrian directions on what to do to cure his leprosy. He even sent Gehazi to meet Naaman when in his spirit he perceived that Elisha was going to put on a show. He only showed his face (Elisha) AFTER the directions were followed & the prophecy fulfilled. He didn't receive anything that Naaman brought, because he desired for God to get the glory & not bring glory unto himself. Gehazi caught the same leprosy for taking the same stuff that Elisha refused to take (so that he wouldn't take glory from God). Does Bernard Jordan fit into that category? I'll let you be the judge. In every area that I have seen, Bernard Jordan seems to be wanting in every single area. I'm not against the financially abundant in the kingdom, but I know that Peter, Paul, John, Priscilla, Aquila, Apollos & the list is not exhausted were all people in the kingdom that had a major impact on the movement of Christianity & didn't have a lot of money. Read through the New Testament & see if I am not telling the truth. The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. There is no other way if He's not getting the glory.

Pro 10:17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life; but he who refuses goes astray.

2Ti 3:16

All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

First love, then faith=tithes, then Obediance comes.

First love is all about dying, not living in the moment for riches. Christ gave us many examples and the main one was that he did not go to the Pharisee's or Sadducee's to make his claim nor did he send messengers proclaiming his grace.

Rom 2:20

An instructor of the foolish, a of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

1Jn 2:27

The anointing you received from Christ lives in you. You don't need anyone to teach you something else. Instead, Christ's anointing you about everything. His anointing is true and contains no lie. So live in Christ as he taught you to do.

Pro 10:17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life; but he who refuses goes astray.

2Ti 3:16

All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for correction, for instruction in righteousness First love, then faith=tithes, then Obediance comes.

Mat 7:15 "Beware of prophets. They come to you disguised as sheep, but in their hearts they are vicious wolves.

Mat 24:24

messiahs and prophets will appear. They will work spectacular, miraculous signs and do wonderful things to deceive, if possible, even those whom God has chosen.

Let his word speak the truth! First love is never about using a grace for money, niether is it lost when one is decieved. Find a true church which believes in the five fold graces and just one.

Christ will be the true judge in the end so as we occupy or tarry let's continue to pray for salvation and to see the heart of Christ develope in all of us. (make them Father as we are one).

God Bless,

RG

Blah Blah Blah, U R obviously one of the prophet writers. U don't think anyone is going 2 read that novel U wrote. What a shady practice of greed U preach Give me the lotto numbers & I will believe all the scriptures U reference 2 defend/justify a false prohet in a rolls royce The savior of the world rode a donkey. All his prophecies and teachings were free

Hey prophet what R the mega ball lotto #'s

Dude...wake up. The references to "money" in others' posts within this thread are aimed at "Master Prophet Jordan" selling prohecies. He and his organization are nothing more than fortune tellers selling the "services" on line and on TV. We all know what happened to King Saul when he visited fortune tellers in the Old Testament don't we? Prophecy is not a "water spigot" that one can turn off and on anytime one wishes. The true word of the Lord (Elohim, Jehovah, etc) is the Bible. However, there are times when God does "speak" to His people addressing specific situations. Never is it supposed to become common place or routine...God will not be mocked and is never "ordinary". This, self proclaimed "master" prophet Jordan is nothing but a hoax and his prophecies are inspired by evil/deceiving spirits. Warning: To those who follow this deceiver, no matter your social or financial status, turn away now, before it's too late.

I completley agree with you....i can remember years before i accepted Christ as my personal Lord and Savior that I used to get involved with the psychic readings and reading of bones and tarrot cards and stuff like that....now bare with me cuz this is how i know that what he is doing is witchcraft on many levels......i can remember one place i went to that charged a rediculous amount of money to basically tell me exactly what i knew already and then said at the end if i came back with another huge amount of money that she would get rid of the money demon that was taking all my money...now WAIT....SHE was taking my money...so needless to say i never went back....and then i called a friend of mine (at the time) sister on the phone and all she needed was my birth date and name and she called me back with my reading.....since all that I have been Saved...sanctified and Holy Ghost filled...and love God with all my heart.....well my sister in Christ and I were talking yesterday which is how i found out about this man...Bernard Jordan....while reading all the different articles and on his website it was like being back into ALL that witchcraft stuff from my previous life (before Salvation)....now the Word of God say to speak the word only so here it goes for all of those followers of this man....

I Corinthians 12 : 1-11 verse. 11 (Amplified version) says " All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses"

I Corinthians 12:28 (Amplified version) " So God has appointed some in the church [for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonderworkers; then those with the ablility to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues"

I Corinthians 13:1-13

Matthew 7:21-23 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mant will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

II Peter 2:1-3 (Amplified Version) " But Also [in those days] there arose prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among yourselves, who will subtly and stealthily introduce heretical doctrines (destructive heresies), even denying and disowning the Master Who brought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their immoral ways and lascivious doings; because of them the true Way will be maligned and defamed. And in their covetousness (lust, greed) they will exploit you with false (cunning) arguments. From of old the sentence [of condemnation] for them has not been idle; their destruction (eternal misery) has not been asleep.

Revelations 19:10 (Amplified version) " Then I fell prostrate at his feet to worship (to pay divine honors) to him, but he [restrained me] and said, Refrain! [You must not do that!] I am [only] another servant with you and your brethren who have [accepted and hold] the testimony borne by Jesus. Worship God! For the substance (essence) of the truth revealed by Jesus is the spirit of all prophecy [the vital breath, the inspiration of all inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine will and purpose, including both mine and yours]."

In all of these scriptures...no wehre does it mention payment for the gift that God has given...and it also states that God gives these gifts as He so desires...not as man desires....it is pure evil that this man proclaims he can teach anyone to be a prophet if they pay his this and that......and when you pay for a so called prophecy what you are in fact paying for is witchcraft....you don't need to pay ANYONE for a word of God....JUST OPEN UP YOUR BIBLE AND THERE IS ALL THE WORD OF GOD YOU NEED...STRAIGHT FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD HIMSELF!!!!!!

May GOd have mercy on this man's soul and all his followers...I will be praying for ALL of you......

This is so true. the words are given through your birthday and your name. it is numerology. Tha tis why thery need your name and birthday. they claim that it is to make sure the mail goes to the correct address but it is not true it is to do numerology. I know that you no longer uses numerology i dont eighter but I was told that it is the same. I called and was given a word but I gave a different birthdate. When I told them the correct birthdate it was a different reading. If God gives you a word it is that and nothing else. It does not matter what your birthday.

i can feel most people on some of the so called men and wemen of god when god has aword for you he don,t charge you the price was paid over 2000 years ago

so true wot ppl dont realise is that wolves will come in sheeps clothing not only the clothing of looking holy but the clothing of doing wonders.. the bible clearly tells us that they will come and just because they give you a true prophecy does not mean God sent them.. demons know things that children of God do not know.. people need to be able to discern the prescence of God and discern what is of God.. God help us all. amen.

WOW, i feel so sorry for you.. he has tricked your mind into thinking he is actually speaking with the word of God? while he drives a Mercedes and you still drive your ford torus.. He is making Millions off of you people.. using one thing the law of attraction.. If you believe you want something enough you will have it..

YOU DONT NEED THIS FRAUD HACK TO TEACH YOU THAT!!!

The info is FREE to enlightenment its all over the NET.. DO NOT GIVE THIS GUY ANOTHER DIME!!!

HE will get whats he has got coming to him .. and im willing to bet it will have to do with mismanagement of funds.

So then what does he do?

the WORD THIS MONTH IS TWICE AS EXPENSIVE Because GOD says so this will be a profitable month SO GIVE DOUBLE!!! and RECEIVE DOUBLE!!!

HOW DUMB ARE YOU!!!!! People are so challenged and they let there loneliness's blind them into doing anything.

PROPHET JORDANS TARGET AUDIENCE

KEY WORD "DEPRESSED about Life"

POORSICKDEPRESSED

Overly Trusting because they want to be free of this jail cell of deprersstion. So they in pure desperation they see this smooth talking man with all these celebrity people backing him.

Telling these people give me what money you have left and you will prosper!!

STOP THE THIEF!!! STOP THE THIEF!!!

GOD WOULD NEVER ASK FOR A DIME FOR YOUR LOVE AND HIS TEACHINGS!! WHY SHOULD A PROPHET? unless you belive the Prophet is above God then maybe you shouldnt be helped if your that far gone..

IT's Sad, So Very Very Sad.. but hey its all our faults we have people in our culture that feel so lonely and ill that they have to give money to some guy on late night television... Its just the Drugs, We have Drugs Issues because, its LIke "Guns don't kill people, people Kill people" "Drugs Don't Kill Peaple, abusing drugs Kills people" you cant abuse a drug, unless you choose to abuse that drug. why would somone choose that. Many issues, stemming as far back as child birth or maybe a perfect family but the people the child grows up around will be apart of him when he gets older.. there for society is the one i blame for all the problems we have. So in Conclusion to that. I blame myself, AND ALL OF YOU!!! haha

Hi everyone

Let me tell you a story. Early this afternoon I called the Benard Jordan line and an opperator answers the phone. I asked about the so called prophet program, refering to the cost. The young man said $5000 dollars followed by a $1500 dollar donation. I replied that is a high price. He answered back GOD AINT CHEAP!!!!....

This shows me there is a problem. I remember a story about jesus and a man of magic who wanted to make loads of money because of the powers he had. Jesus replied that isn't Gods work. Put simpley...... God doesn't charge for helping us so why do we allow people like so called Bishop Jordan get away with this? Well the one he has to fear is the wrath of God for being a false prophet. It is written in the Bible that there will be many false prophets and they will be delt by the hand of GOD.

you have got to be kidding me. why would you PAY money to any man/woman for God to reveal anything to you. when all you have to do is to establish a relationship with Him, and talk. He does respond to prayer. That's money that could have used to really help build in the kingodom of God, by giving to your location place of worship in the form of a THITHE or OFFERING.

master prophet uses the bible verse I samuel chapter 9 verse 9. because it says that in the past in israel if someone wanted to ask something of god they would go and see a seer. and we are not to come empty handed to our Father in heaven. so why not pay the seer that spends time with god and knows god better than some of us new christians. am i wrong?

To answer your question, did not Jesus come to make intercession for us? Jesus came that we would come into the presence of God through him. The word says that no one come before the Father except through me. Therefore, if Jesus did not charge us to come to him to get to the Father, then why should this man charge such ridiculous prices for a word from God? Why would he charge at all? If he were led by God then would he give the word anyway? Doesn't the Word say that our gift will make room for us, that God will supply my every need, not man? I am not saying that this man is a false prophet becasue he may be real, but I do question some of the tactics that he uses, just beacuse you are anointed doesn't mean that you lose focus of God. Be Blessed.

This is to comment/reply etc.. concerning any proclaimed master prophet currently walking the earth in flesh today. Any proclaimed master prophet having need of water, food, clothing and shelter anywhere on the earth today. And furthermore in response to anyone who has, is or does proclaim their legacy to be of mastery in/of that which is HOLY, RIGHT and TRUE : Please pray immediately asking and sincerely seking repentance of wickedness, evil and transgressions. I donot seek to judge, yet it is written unto to us and as well given unto we to ration with sound knowledge and understanding. So if we may, and seriously do this: Take a few moments a think of: Why would the LORD GOD send anyone to charge the poor for the word of GOD; that is TRUTH and given freely? Have ye not read what is written concerning,"Freely ye are to give for freely ye have received". If we take the time to examine the thoughts of reality concerning this matter and in comparison with the HOLY Scripture, it is written unto us, " The servant is not greater than his MASTER" also that, "Ye shall know them by their fruit." Of course there are more scripture in which one individual can debate this issue with however, the important issue that has or seemingly overlooked is; WHICH MASTER DOES THIS SERVANT LIKEN UNTO?? Yes, it is written that never the less Gospel is preached yet as the word of the LORD GOD has spoken then so shall it be.. For it is written unto us that in that day many shall say Lord I prophesied in thy name, many shall say, Lord I healed the sick and cast out demons in thy name. Bust the LORD OF HOST answer shall be unto many, Depart from me ye workers of iniquity." Although it seems tedious, let us give some thought of the monies that may may not have been given to/towards such a program. Take a few moments,..... now breath, LOL. One of the more important questions concerning this issue is why are the monies being given? Is it because the individuals(s) believe and bless they which come in the name of the LORD? If so just is their reward. Is it because the individuals are being lead to unknowingly hope in numerology, vain speeches or cunning proclamations by the voice and/or individuals chanting scriptures aloud? Then as the HOLY SPIRIT and THE Word of the LORD GOD judge, so shall it be. It is also written of the warning and destruction that has, will and shall come upon those; teachers, preachers, ministers, singers, evangelist, prophets (anyone): who prophesy lies/untruth in the name of the LORD GOD. It is also written unto us of what would be better to take place unto anyone who would cause another to turn away from/ lose their faith in the HOLY ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. Now many times have we heard of giving and it shall be given unto you, but it is also written with what measure you mete. Henceforth let it be acknowledge that we are indeed unable to pay for the true blessings of the LORD GOD; for how much does a new morning filled with a days worth of mercy and grace cost? Or how much does a sound mind blessed with the ability to acknowledge the need for the everlasting love of GOD cost? The answer is the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD! Therefore the price for all the blessings we receive great& small, Day & night even those in which we know not of had/was and is accounted for by the giver of the blessings; THE LORD GOD. Therefore when we give in tithe, offering or be it by faith let it be not because any one compelled.commanded/or encouraged us to do so, but let it be because we are thankful for the LORD GOD and all he has, will, and shall continue to do in our lives, family, finances, hope, health, homes, hearts and even for that we have not knowledge of. Therefore the greatest and most important reward unto/for a HOLY Prophet is to have trully received a word from the LORD GOD. Another esteemed reward of an HOLY prophet is the ability to prophesy by faith and know that the LORD of Host shall grant/give that which they have asked. However, a reward meaneth little or almost nothing if it is not fulfilling, therefore probally the most important fulfillment of an HOLY Prophet is to be lead by the HOLY SPIRIT, the second most probally is for the people to accept and receive the word they bring, and thirdly is more than likely a good report. After the LORD GOD, his HOLY WORD and his HOLY SPIRIT; the order may vary depending on the prophet, time, place, circumstance, instruction(s), etc.. So we as a people proclaiming to be righteous, of truth, must seek not to perish due to lack of knowledge. Therefore we must accept and acknowledge that a Holy prophets greatest reward is given by the LORD GOD and an Holy prophet will acknowledge such in speech and deed. There are times when a Holy Prophet may or may not ask for charity from others; and greatly there are times when others are able to give freely unto a Holy Prophet. However a true prophet of the LORD GOD will acknowledge quickly and sincerely that are more concerned with the spiritual well being and eternal situation of those they are allowed to speak with,minister or prophesy unto. In summary being a Holy prophet is about more that massing great sums of wealth and leaving an inheiritance for children's-children; for it is written also that "The wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous." Remeber to pray and fast that truth be not hid, and that wickedness in high places be brought down. Above all that the will of the LORD GOD be done and cause the falsehood of greed to be slain from the hearts, souls mind and spirits of men and women that their souls may be saved from destruction.

P.S. There is nothing wrong with praying for a word from the LORD GOD yourself :)

I just graduated from a school where this so called Master Prophets son is studying opera. He too is called a prophet and guess what? When he showed up to school his chauffer brought in all of his stuff and when he didn't like the dorms he moved into the ritz and gets driven to and from school. The kid wears louis vaton loafers. God have mercy on these thiefs

What's wrong with the Young Prophet having nice things? The man of God has been blessed with great wealth due to his prophetic teachings and we the members of Zoe Ministries. I joined in July of 2009 and have tithed regularly. The Young Prophet is the one who introduced me to Zoe Ministries and the Master Prophet. His success is a sign of favor from God. We should all take notice.

That's just why I don't go to predominately black churches. Because there are too many power hungry people who want to pick up where prejudiced white people left off by taking advantage of poor black people by manipulating and using them for their own financial gain. Which is just why when their ignorant behinds get put on blast for tax fraud and law suits, I laugh my a*s off. The pastors I have much respect for is my pastor who lives a modest life just like Jesus Christ did. Also a friend of mines pastor, whom before getting saved and into ministry, was a lawyer who came from money and was upper middle class. But since he was raised by atheist parents, he new that although he had all he needed financially and he was a good person, he lnew that there was something missing. He later found out that the something (someone) missing was Jesus Christ! His secretary was the one who first told him about the Lord and she and her husband lead him to Christ and he joined their church. That's what I call REAL testimony of prosperity. Not none of this crap some of these ignorant knee-grows are talking. If you want real prosperity, then get off your tookus get an education graduate with a degree, make YOUR OWN money, save, spend and invest wisely. Don't do a bunch of dumb stuff with it, perhaps start a legitimate business be mindful of how you treat people as well as your health etc. Give God the glory and honour for it all and those are keys to prosperity. Not all of this ghetto fabulous, trailer trash oppresssomefolkstogetahead mentality crap that's in a lot of black chrches today. They will never get my money nor my respect. In fact I will expose such people everytime I get a chance.

OK...if this guy's son is also a Prophet, and see the future, why does he need to go to college and take exams, etc. He should already know the questions as well as the answers on the exams! Furthermore, why not just have him provide the winning lottery numbers to those who follow him so they will never need or want for anything again. Answer: 1) because he and those like him are frauds. 2) because he wants to make "his followers" dependent upon him, thus creating the need for his so-called words from the lord.

Baloney...all baloney. Anyone, and I do mean anyone, who follows this guy and pays him one dime has no brain cells at all..they are toally devoid of any common sense at all! I don't care if your name is Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, etc....

As the Master Prophet and Prophet Manasseh have said before - The size of your blessing is determined by the size of your seed.

How exactly is that comment relevant?

I have read many comments and opinions set forth and i have a prophesy (free) i will use only acronyms most will understand I. R. S.

Then you get what you paid for! Don't go running to God when the bottom falls out of your life. Go back to the god with the bad dreadlocks and pay him again.

I will be calling in my monthly $300 seed to the Master Prophet and Prophet Manasseh this weekend.

Manasseh is truly amazing. Whenever he opens his mouth, what comes out is straight from God. God has blessed him with great wealth for carrying his word to the people of God.

I will probably put that money in to a investment for a future or donate to the red cross instead of sign up for the false prophet. You are a sucker! i know that suckers born every minutes, but you are the sucker of the century. zoe ministrie is a big scam organization using words of God.

To answer your question about Master Prophet. You see here on Earth we don't have a Master Jedi. We have a Master Prophet, which simply means the "force", is strong with this one. It has yet to be determined which "force" it is but I believe it will be revealed in due time.

Men like this simply prey upon the weak and the desperate.

This is brilliant. Really, think about it. Work with me here. Bernie (sorry, Master Prophet Bernard) is selling Jesus Junk ( http://www.philcooke.com/jesus_junk ) without having to buy the junk! No warehouse needed. No crates of unused crap... nothing but a word from God (or somebody) and dang, that doesn't take up any space at all. This is like total profit. Sadly, as Bernie conjures his way to the bank, there are a line of Christians all too happy to help him out. When I produced "The 700 Club" there was a guy who was booked on the show a couple of times each year and he was known to operate in the prophetic gift. People would "casually" wander from their cubicles or edit suites, placing themselves strategically in his path so he would glance at them and per chance deliver a word from the Lord (jotted quickly down on a pad of paper by his able assistant). People are hungry for a word from God. They are so desperate that they will send thousands of dollars to Master Soothsayer Bernie in hopes that they might find direction. We don't need the Bible Answer Man (he has his own issues) or the FCC to kick Bernie in his prophetic butt (I edited out tons of great joke lines here!)... what we need are preachers to stop dribbling out seven secrets to success, or ten teasures that transform, and start speaking prophetically and directly to our generation. People are so thirsty for God that in the absence of the water of the word, they will gobble down Bernie's sand. God will judge Bernie, but we (producers, writers, editors, directors...) will also be judged if we do not deliver the prophetic truth clearly and honestly. [Here's the troubling part - Phil, why do you watch this stuff when you work out? I've heard of stress tests, but this could be dangerous.) Joe - Director of Media & Marketing - Grand Rapids First

I think it is wrong for somone that has been given a gift to take it and prostitute it. I am currently studying using his book spiritual protocol. He clearly has the ability to hear from God... However the bible clearly says "let he that is free from sin cast the first stone"... Its no ones place to judge where his heart is ,or decide what he should repent for. Its okay to see the truth and speak of it... but it is God who brings correction....Perhaps those critisizing should read his book on spiritual protocol. And reading Watchnman Nee's Spiritual Authority couldnt hurt. The problem in our country is that authority is constantly being abused or defied starting from our presidents on down to the working class citizen....God help us all. Why are we teaching our children to be disobedient?

you can't be serious! this guy is hearing from a spirit alright...a demonic spirit. he does not have a gift from God to hear words from the Lord. And, I say this without being judgmental...it's staring you in the face dee......put his books down and read the Bible..that's all you need

You are so right. If people want a word from the Lord, all they have to do is to enter into His presence of the Most High King with praise and worship. But that is too hard for people to do, it takes time and effort and repentance, surrender and obedience. Here is the prophetic word. Just do the above and you are in the presence of God Almighty - worship him and you are in his presence.

WOW what an experience. And God never fails to give you what you want and need.

I will say that Bernard is quite engaging and for those "christians" looking for another way, that it is quite easy for them to succumb to the enticing words of Bernard. But those who have the wisdom of God they can hear the voice of God telling them that Bernard is a sheep in wool clothing. Thank God for his still small voice that says "this is the way, walk ye therein it". He says - my sheep no my voice and no other voice will they hear.....

My question is there is no scripture for "Master Prophet" so then why do we need prophets in 2008 when christ was the ultimate sacrifice and he left us with the spirit and with prayer christ is the direct link to GOD the only reason they need prophets in the old testament was because they didnt have that connection. Bernard is a false prophet. If he studied book chapter and verse of the "word" he would have fear and trembling of what he is doing

but doesnt god have true end time prophets and prophetess on earth now? for he does nothing without informing his prophets first. sorry forgot where in the bible this is. so why cant master jordan be an end time prophet?

Well said,I know my life forever changed one day, "one" word by one man as moved by the Spirit of the Living God.The grace and mercy spoken in that Word, the holy conviction that came ruined me forever for nothing less than the pursuit of Jesus Christ. I was not "down and out", I was making 40k a week but I was miserable inside and was ignorant of hope.I am deeply troubled by what I am hearing and sensing about Bernard Jordan,my first pastor recomended a couple of Jordan's books Mentoring and Spiritual Protocol. they were excellent. But like Pastor Craig Schlesinger used to warn me about some in the prophetic river, they me tapped in but there is pollution in the stream.Oh that there would be humble men of God broken before Him, their only desire to serve Him and speak "The Living Word" whatever form the Holy Spirit chooses to utilize!

We've all heard of the fashion police, but having theology cops is a brilliant idea. Actually, the fashion police and the theology cops will most likely be able to double charge most of their offenders. I'm afraid the amount of arrests would be staggering. I must defend Phil in his need to watch these programs. First of all, it can be very entertaining. Secondly, it's important to know why the secular world still views Christian Television in such a negative way. We need to know what's being aired in the name of Jesus... the good, the bad and the ugly.

I check out the website I think every thing is for sale. I even gave them a call to see how they would give me a word over the phone can't say I have ever seen this guy but Lord I would not want to be him on that day of judgement...

Did you check out the "art work"? The man has redone the old masters starting with the nativity, replacing the face of Jesus with His face.

He takes the whole concept of being created in God's image to a scary place.

Is it scary because it isn't european face or that it is inconceivable that God as God could have created other gods (man) that are capable of creating and being as he did and as he is? Maybe what is really needed is an open and honest discussion about our so-called bible and the many changes the "Word of God" has experience through the ages. Many of you would be very surprised to realized that what you call christianity isn't what Jesus Chirst really advocated at all. But what do I know...

Ohh and FYI The Laws of Thinking by Bishop E. Bernard Jordan just became a NY Times Bestseller five days ago. Team work makes the dream work.

Perhaps you could quote the part of the "original" bible where Jesus told us to stop making disciples and sell soap?

What is scary is that one man could think that God was made in his image, not the other way around.

God will not be mocked. He did not create man as gods, He created us as humans. Otherwise, sin would not be an issue and we would not have needed Jesus.

I am not at all sure we are reading the same Bible. Mine says pride comes before a fall. That I do know.

It is sad that we would rather debate the word of God based on the actions of one man whether it be right or WRONG than seek the face of God through prayer and supplication. Is there one that will study to show himself approved? If we were not such a lazy people, we would stop seeking false prophecies to tell us what we should or shouldn't be doing. There would be no need to watch God's word being pimped and hungry people being prostituted, if God's people would seek ye first the kingdom of heaven. We want quick fixes to get material things while our SOUL thirst for God's will. I wouldn't pay for a Master Prophet or an Apprentice Prophet to PREDICT or FORECAST anything to me, when I can go directly to my FATHER in heaven. There's a lot of false teachers and false prophets among us, but if we try the word by the WORD(bible) we could put a bunch of this mess out of business. Yes that's right, BUSINESS!!

Indeed, this is alarming to the Body of Christ. Balamm made the prophetic gift merchandize and was judged severly by God. May God have mercy on these who are doing likewise. For a good read check out "A Step Into Deliverance" by T. Pugh. It's an engrossing autobiography about one man's battle with and ultimate defeat over the spirit of jezebel. A real page turner!

You know it's scary when you say that ( it's scary because it isn't a european face or that it is inconceivable that God as God could have created other gods (man) that are capable of creating and being as he did and as he is? I mean do you mean cause he is black and if so... No one knows Gods race! But the bible said that his hair was of wool and his feet was of bronze. Now don't get me wrong I am not sure about the proclaimed man of God, I say pray for him if we all come to agreement he will be set free from what ever force may have him. Pray that the strong hold will be let go in the blood of Jesus.

what?

Scary...

This guy, by his site and Phil's account, doesn't seem to be doing something new and offensive, just a new degree of what the vast majority of Salesmen for Christ are guilty of. I am a particular fan of exploiting the lowest common denominator.
" The Poor Will Always Be With Us"- Thank God or all these preachers will be out of cash.

Maybe they should order "The Power of Money" by Bishop Jordan, who found his ultimate calling at 15. Good job. I'm pretty sure I wasn't looking for it then, but good to know that kind of ultimate information is available that early. Now blow your next 60 years working it. At least his photos are in prophetic focus.

If you are saying that you a fan of exploiting the poor, especially after knowing what the Holy Scriptures says about "the poor will be with us always", shows that you and others are of your father, the devil. Jesus Christ NEVER exploited the poor, he loved them.

I like the Bishop's Prophetic Principle #59 - "When you start in error, you continue in error." At least he is consistent. But let's get back to Phil's question: If church leaders are judged and punishment is determined and carried out for sexual sins and other very public abuses, then why not for heresy? Are there not leaders that the Master Prophet would respect who could come around him and say, "yes, you are filling a niche, and making a bundle of money... but you have gotten off track, and you need to step back, you need to get off television and stop doing your prophetic words, and confess and seek God, and maybe someday be restored to leadership. Why do we never hear of this happening? If leaders would start holding each other accountable, maybe we would not see such drastic falls from such dizzying heights. Joe

Exactly! Am I my brother's keeper? Or is he my brother?

This makes me think of when Jesus turned over tables in front of the temple. Religiosity, pride, and making money off the naivety and innocence of others, is unacceptable. God is Truth, Satan is the deceiver, and the way we live out our lives reveals who we are living with and for. As leaders, we must fight on behalf of our family who are being deceived and led away from what is True. Some may never find their way back. But in addition to the anger I feel on behalf of all who this man deceives for selfish ambition, I also feel sad and burdened for him. He, too, is very much deceived and believes in so much that is false. So many of us find ourselves at some point running on our own fuel and not living for God but for our own names sake, our own success, our own gain. Yes, this man has gone to an extreme, but the root is pride and deception. Just as it was for Ted Haggard. So as we get rightfully angry against the lies that are leading so many away from what is true and good, I encourage all of us to recognize our own humanness, and be on guard for any lies that we may be believing. The war is on, and too many great leaders are being taken out. Let's pray for each other, and ask our Abba to hold us especially tight to his chest.

I dizzern that this here is about Massive Profit. It's more of the gospel of "sell to the masses and live with the classes."

It's all about the money. That's obvious. So we should say it, condemn it, and move on.

People like this are part of the reason I'm embarrassed to be a part of anything to do with Christian television. But we've been seeded with the fear that we somehow need to be silent lest we "touch God's anointed."

Don't we owe it to the poor people that are prey to such charlatans to say something and condemn this kind of crap?

OK, check out this product description from the Master Prophet -

Mentoring: The Iconoclastic Approach to Development in Ministry
Prophetic Principle #48 - Blessings are connected with obedience. There are 9 stages of disloyalty #1 is an independent spirit.

In my experience, ministries that (overly)emphasize obedience and teach that independence is a sin (in this case disloyalty #1) are rooted in control and domination, not in freedom.

My guess is that the obedience being taught includes obedience and loyalty to the Master Prophet, especially when it comes to money. Only through complete loyalty and obedience will you be able to access the blessings of God.

Let me aks you all this - what is our responsibility when it comes to someone abusing the weakest among us in the name of Jesus?

Our Responsibility Is to confront and expose the wolf in sheep clothing that he is. Paul in the book of Acts chap 20 pleaded to tears that the time will come that men would creep in unawares. Ordained for the purpose to deceive the very elect if possible. Men teaching damndable heresies, doctrines of demons, myths and fables. Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 20:31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. Master Illusionist Bernard is a modern day practitioner of the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. The word Nicolaitans means "conquer the laity". It was a whole movement solidified with Constantine's Nicene council in which he and 300 Bishops colluded together to come up with the Nicene Creed in 325 A.D. This Creed in essence took the liberty, truth and power away from the people and ceded it to a few politically and economically empowered mega-churches of that day. Master Illusionist Bernard is of this paradigm, this creed where they took functions of the Body of Christ i.e. elder, overseer/Bishop etc and made those functions offices. Thus creating a hierarchical system not intended by Christ or the Apostles. Just like Balaam, Master Illusionist Bernard uses his gifts for gain. Fleecing the flock. Jude 1:11 Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. We must test the fruits, try these men with the word and when they are exposed for prestidigitation in the pulpit we should shun them. These Master illusionists know most people don't read the word, thus he can operate with near impunity. When in plain truth he is in violation of the words in red: Matthew 23:8-9, "But be not ye called Rabbi: for One is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for One is your Father, Which is in heaven." One is your Master…not some clown in a black turban he needs to be on the Vegas strip but not in a pulpit.

He's a theif, robbing the inccent and poor and obama supports him.. weird uh..

The "Theology Cops" are out there.

They're busy with the Rick Warrens and the "Emerging Church guys"

Be sure and tell them. They really are good at analysis - whether you agree or not.

I have to admit getting a kick that so many of these sites refer to themselves as "researchers." It's as if there are teams of academics in white lab coats pouring over documents. More likely, it's a single person sitting there in their PJ's....

Perhaps the principle of broad is the way that leads to destruction fits here.

Best bargain of his website!

Prophetic Awareness Soap
This is a soap that helps bring protection and give you a greater ability to function with intuition and insight. $7 / bar

ARE YOU SERIOUS!?! please tell me you are not serious!!!! WOW dat is witchcraft if i ever saw it!!!

There are times when we must stand up against obvious deceit. How could a bar of soap make us better or more insightful Christians? Yet, that appears to me to be the claim here. (Although, I will confess I generally perfer Christians who bathe to the other kind. But, that's another story.) Col. 2:9 in the American Standard Version says "Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of man, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ..." The main battleground in the fight against deceitful ministries probably belongs in the local churches, as close as possible to the Christians who might be fooled into financially supporting soap-peddling master prophets. With prayer and caution we should speak up, but local pastors and regional evangelists should also be speaking up.

The Myth is that:Is He really a Prophet......Thats the Myth-The Mystry is that...But What He Says Comes To Pass!!!!

In The Written Judgement -The Master Prophet Prophecied:Tsunami,911,Bush in Office,Katrina-way back- in 1989...He Saith it....and it Comes To Pass...I dont see God Confirming your Word and you Want Us to Listen to you Phill & Gang???

One More thing -I AM a testimony to the the Word of the Lord by the Master Prophet-By it I went from Ashy to Classy...and everybody who knows me knows it!

A lot of people think that because a person has a gift of prophecy (or really any gift) that they must be of God. But we have to remember to try the spirit by the Word of God, not by the spirit. Satan can mimick anything that God has, because remember, he comes as an "Angel of Light". The difference, is that God's ways leads to eternal love and life. Whereas Satan ways leads to eternal deception and death.

Bro Layton, you are a testimony of someone who has no sense to come in out of the rain under his own power. You are being led down a wrong road...all in pursuit of your own happiness, well being and financial gain (potentially). Question: Did Jesus, the one and only true Master, ever sell a healing or salvation? Answer: No. He paid for these things with His life, so that we may have life more abundantly.

End of discussion.

In the Old Testament, a prophet would be stoned if not 100% right. Hmmm.

They also didn't llow women to speak in holy or governmental matters either. Hmmm.....

Is he still selling the prophetic soap on a rope? I'm too scared to check. :)

I first saw this man at 4 am on one of the christian channels I watch a few months ago , I immediately sensed that something is not right with him. It sickens me to see so many people to be drawn to this man. In my view he is a deceiver straight from hell. I have checked his website out and am amazed about how it is ALL about the money. Tonight I came across him on a website. I watched his live internet streaming tonite on www.streamingfaith.com and clearly see that he is nothing but a fraud just taking innocent peoples money all in the name of God. During this live streaming I watched as he was guilting people into buying 12 books (The Law of Thinking) because he really wants this book to be number 1 and then he wanted everyone in the chatroom approx 100 from what he said (I was not in the chatroom, but watching the live stream) to go to Amazon.com to post a comment and then got very upset that only 17 had posted to a discussion that he had started, so he made them all in the chatroom agree to post a one line comment in regard to his discussion of "I am Money" And alot did do that! The first 2 hrs of his show was all about getting people to buy at least 12 books, and would check throughout the night to see if his sale figures on the new book had gone up and they had not and he was very upset and would go on and on making people feel guilty that they had not bought 12 of his books but believe me many had!! Anyone who is a christian has to see that this man is a true deceiver and is not of the Almighty God. He does not talk very much of Jesus Christ. I read some of the amazon comments and alot of the people were saying they were GOD and that they are Money. Money is truly the main focus with this guy. In my opinion he is a glorified psychic using the name of my GOD and this upsets me terribly... When you get a reading from him you have to give a birthday which to me is the biggest indicator of a psychic. Him and his puppet prophets were all laughing at one point about what sign (virgo, gemini etc.) they were and their personalities and any true christian or prophet for that matter knows that we do not go by that kind of stuff it is ALL a part of witchcraft. It truly cannot get any clearer to me. There were people who had given $1000 in "Seed" as they called it and everyone would clap and say "Praise God" and then Jordan would call them immediately on the phone to prophecy to them but he got many things incorrect as I was watching then he would say "God why are you doing this to me"? "I hate when God does this to me" and then would ask the caller alot of questions and would then generalize his comments to them. He never talks about the money he receives going for the furthering of the Gospel as the bible says... It is just so sickening to see all these people giving their money in the name of God and it appears as if the God he is representing is not the God that christians serve!! I have no problem with people giving money, I am a tither and give offerings regularly but we are supposed to give for the furthering of the Gospel not to make someone rich. And God says to not put your focus on money but on him and he would supply all of our needs, that he is our source, not Jordan the So Called Master Prophet!!! This needs to be exposed so people can know the truth and the truth will set them free as the word of God says. There is a comment from one of his followers above that says how come he knows all the things he does, well if you read the bible it talks about how fimiliar spirits (evil spirits) can communicate with people (psychics) just like a true prophet does with the Holy Spirit. We all know that satan copies everything that is of God to deceive people and the Bible warns us about this exact thing!!!

We can only pray.....for this world is hungry for a sign of the Creator. But we need to find and build a relationship with God ourselfs. I feel like vomitting, it is so disturbing to my spirit....even though I believe we should never become the slave to money rather the master of money,......but that does not mean take the less fortunate for a ride to give them false hope....and than mislead them in a way that it ruins their life :-(.

Do me a favor and JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED!!! PLEASE WATCH ANOTHER SITE THAT IS FOR YOU!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Kimberly - you need to read this.

I am TRYING to go to another site and leave this man alone, BUT he won't leave me alone. Tell me how a man of God and a Prophet can just outright break the law by ignoring people's request for his ministry to stop calling their house every week and try to get money from me. After all my Bible tells me that I can go bodly to the throne of God and he will give me all I need. AND what about the people that couldn't afford his message anyway, and I am not talking about a lack of faith, I am talking about people who really does nothave the money without going into debt, which by the way is not biblical, the bible says, "owe no man anything." Are those peoplenot worthy of God's message? Just get him (Master Prophet) to leave me alone and I would gladly leave this website to of you who want to believe this stuff.

Did you get a call for money or a conference call? Did anyone forced you to make the call? To sow the seed , is it not in your power to do or not to do? Will you deny the scriptures in its balance presentation? Do you tihe? A giver never complains.

Hello...earth to Kimberly...earth to Kimberly. This is not about "judging" anything...it's about "trying the spirits". This Jordan person is a fraud, a deceiver, a false prophet, an antichrist, a sooth-sayer, a charlaton, a fortune teller. He should be in a travelling circus putting on shows and not on television defrauding, innocent/simple people out of their hard earned money.

God bless you!

I agree this man is extremely dangerous. The first time I laid eyes on him I thought about Revelations and the mark of the beast.

Surely we are in the LAST DAYS!

LORD FORGIVE US

I get the feeling you all know this man is a fake. He's either an atheist who is mocking the "God" concept through his very transparent modus operandi and motives, or a severely deluded psychic who has mixed a cocktail of astrology, tarot, bible verses and charisma to serve to a salivating audience, who further enables him on his caper by going to his chat rooms, buying his books and watching his shows.

What more does it take to convince you the man is a fake?

I totally agree with your comments about the "Master Profit". I tried to get some answers from his staff about why Bernard Jordan is fleecing God's people they however, felt that they didn't owe me an explaination and they claimed I was harrassing the ministry with my comments on their website. This was long after I asked them to never send me any e-mails about their ministry but they continued to do it. I have sent information to the "Bible Answer Man", as well as some pastors locally to do some research on this man so I am standing by for some replys.

Great. Keep us posted...

Just wondering if it's the fact that Bernard is charging without calling it a donation or first fruits, or have we gotten to a point as Christians where we doubt so much it's impossible he "just may be gifted". You all should pray and let God do the judging and it must be somewhat entertaining to bring notice on your private site. If he is not official the light will show.

If Bernard helps people believe that the circumstances will come to past and they do, as long as the person is praying to almighty God what does the vessel have to do with Gods blessing.
Pray for them, and continue to thank God for your breath in your body and every other wonderful thing God has bestowed upon us.

You've got to be kidding me right? "If he helps people believe that the circimstances will come to pass...blah, blah, blah...." Dude, the only right thing you said was that God will judge him. The rest of your comments are numb chatter.

I am angry a this man for bilking so many poor people, but it their fault as well for following the false prophet. I believe that if God tells someone to tell another person something, he should just tell them without a price.

I think his followers want to know their future so bad that they are willing to give all their money to hear whatever this man tells them. God does not allow us to follow psychics, it says so in the bible and by his charging for services that is all he is.

If what he tells you (OF SUBSTANCE) does not come true, then God did not tell him to tell you that (this is what God says in the word). Look at what he is telling people, most of it is generic. He might say for example "someone you know will die"....well as we all know people die everyday and sooner or later it will be somone you know!

Don't be fooled. Go to God for yourself and He will give you the answers you need....

God has a history of using a jack ass.

That does not mean we should promote one to be on TV.

Jesus spoke often in the Word of how to recognize false prophets (or the anti- Christ which simply means against Christ). The Word is judgment. If one is not a believer and follower of Christ....he is none of His as Jesus has clearly stated in the Word. It is sad to see vulnerable people who really follow and believe in people who are not aligned with the Word...what they don't realize is that they are not following Christ. The accountability falls with the leader AND the follower. I believe if you are truly meditating and studying the Word, have a definite prayer life seeking the face of the Living God diligently everyday (more than twice daily), you will not open yourself to an occasion to stumble. Spending time in the presence of the Lord changes you. God speaks to His people. Jesus says...My sheep hear my voice and the voice of a STRANGER they will not follow. The sheep of Jesus know the voice of a stranger. I can hear someone close to me speak and may not know they are near...they could have just come in the house without my knowledge. As soon as they speak I know their voice! The voice of God is the same way. In stating this, I am in no way saying that prophets are not given to the body. They are.... but so are teachers, preachers, evangelist, and Apostles. There should be a balance to everything. If Jesus is not the center of all that is being done and said.....something is definitely wrong. We need to meditate and stay close to Him to have this type of discernment. ALL of God's children are special to Him. His REAL children will give ALL the Glory to God because they realize that HE ALONE IS GOD. When a person lifts themselves up and points everything to themselves...God is not in that. God is not going to take back a gift He has given because it is being misused....but, HE IS GOING TO JUDGE THESE ACTS SEVERELY.

Well.. all I can say is, I scoured his website for just on scripture and there were absolutely none to be found... That was very alarming

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:22-23

I have been praying about the above mentioned ministry. I'm not a judge of any man, because God forbids it. I feel it's particularly important not to judge a servant of God, even if we don't fully agree with their teaching or lifestyle. SO it's not my intent to judge this man, but to attempt to bring whatever insight I can to aid others in their interpretation of this ministry. But God does want us to walk as children of Light, rightly dividing and discerning the truth of His Word. God expects His people to exercise wisdom about all things related to giving and ministries we align with. We must use spiritual wisdom and only give to ministries that have God's seal of approval on them. I haven't seen this man too many times and I no longer watch for the following reason. I know that at least one, maybe more, of his books are published by Hay House. That publishing company is affiliated with Louise Hay. I have read her books when I was in New Age. It is my belief that she is a very spiritual woman and I feel her intentions are good. But I also feel she unknowingly operates with a spirit of witchcraft. I say that because I have a thorough knowledge of God's Word through a lifetime of studying it, and attempting to rightly divide it by the Spirit of God. I have read her materials and lined them up with scriptural teaching. She is not mainstream Christianity. She is totally aligned with New Age. This was my first clue that the above mentioned ministry needed to be handled carefully. It's my belief that he probably hasn't had the spiritual maturity to learn to discern associations to a proper degree spiritually. New Age publishers may be an easier door to walk through, in publishing controversial materials. New Age embraces an abundance teaching and perhaps that was the ease with which this type of material could be published. But I feel it was a mistake on the part of the above mentioned ministry to not check out the publishers spiritual background more. I think it's been a mistake to not exercise greater wisdom and have greater understanding of such matters as a Christian leader. I feel he has probably lacked balance and depth in these matters because of his young age and not having a balanced understanding of the full counsel of God's Word. But I feel he's needed to do his homework before making any such business or spiritual alliance, as a Christian minister. Without true discernment and spiritual maturity, one can't possibly understand the results of such a union. It gives an open door to all sorts of demonic influence and deception. PLEASE Church of Jesus Christ, pray for such people and do not be defled by subtle spiritual error. That is why we need to consistently be studying God's Word and know it. That's the real key about error. If we don't know the Word thoroughly, we will not recognize error when we see or hear it. That is why many have been led astray, by having an element of truth and running with it, without being mature in the Word of God. We must be very careful about everything that comes into our lives and homes through any portal or influence. A portal is any entrance that can bring in spiritual energy. Be it an open door, window, computer line, cable line, television, phone line, reading materials, tapes, videos, books, gifts, other items or a person. Be wise and keep your lives and homes untainted by the world and unholy teachings and communion. Sometimes we have to really try things by the Spirit, seeking God and waiting upon HIM for the answer, not the opinions of men.

This young man may not have any idea he's aligned with witchcraft through this publishing company. And it may not be his only harmful association, unknowingly. It's my belief that he has lacked spiritual depth and not had a balance of spiritual understanding, not meaning to err, but aligning with Spirits that can influence through association. I feel it's a very dangerous thing to not watch our spiritual contacts, not only as lay people but particularly as spiritual leaders. Therefore, being led off the righteous path, having taken some truth and not had the maturity to discern when light has moved into a gray area. Let us know who we are receiving from and guard our hearts with all diligence.. Let us seek God well regarding any monies we distribute and where it is to go. I have truly learned as a spiritual leader to not align with any ministry or minister, without seeking God's heart and without doing a thorough background check. We must watch the lives of spiritual leaders, to see if they are balanced in their teaching and living. I do not ever want to touch God's annointed, less a curse come upon me. But I also feel a need and duty to warn others to seek God's wisdom thoroughly in all matters and relations, before aligning with them. See if there is anything that gives an indication of instability or immaturity in their spiritual walk. There is so much new age that has subtly infiltrated God's people. We must be very astute and alert to be able to judge between light and the gray areas. Please, my brothers and sisters, seek God and be alert to every ministry that is extreme where finances are concerned. There are alot of ministries that are teaching prosperity, and I believe in the Covenant Blessings of Abraham. It's scriptural. Read Deut. 14. But it must be balanced by the Word. When it comes to a ministry or minister owning a $13M or $2M dollar home, I have to draw the line. What man or woman of God needs that extravagance when people are dying of hunger and spiritual food? I don't feel it's even an appropriate image for a servant of God. Let Jesus' lifestyle be the guide. I feel it has stepped outside of God's wisdom and truth. Monies are to propagate the Gospel and to help the needy, which are abundant in this earth. Be wise! Discern through counsel of God's Word. Know the background of people you support. Study them thoroughly and put seed in good soil, that only God has approved you to support.

God's wisdom and guidance to us all!

I'm leaving off my name. But I am a minister of Jesus Christ, serving in a fulltime missionary capacity in the US,

Yes!

Another point: Many self-proclaimed prophets unknowingly use a spirit of divination for their prophecies. This does not mean that they are bad people, but they are deceived. And for people out there receiving "guidance" in ignorance through a spirit of divination, this can open them up to spiritual attack, and even physical infirmity (because the spirit of divination is linked to infirmity). So we must all be careful and we must ask God for spiritual discernment.

In fact, we should not be running to a prophet all the time for guidance! We should be developing our own relationship with God and learning to hear God's voice ourselves! This is a bit of hard work in terms of really spending time meditating on the Word and on praying daily, but if you press on and if you are dedicated, it will pay off!

This is a follow up on my previous post here, which is listed just above this one. I went back to do abit more research so I could offer precise, accurate information regarding the publishing company Bernard Jordan has used, Hay House. The company is in fact affiliated with New Ager Louise Hays. I've listed some of her information below, that was taken from her official website and another website that sells her products. Again, my intent is not to assault my brothers and sisters in Christ, although Louise Hay doesn't claim to be a mainline Christian. But Bernard Jordan, does claim to be a Christian Minister/Leader/Prophet. So my intent is not to assault Bernard Jordan, but to give credible, documented information on his background, that will reflect a lack of spiritual knowledge/maturity on his part, in his aligning with New Age Leaders in business and spiritual alliances. I hope you find the following information helpful. And to show I'm not a gossip, I'm also going to Bernard Jordan's official website to share my finding with him as well, for the sake of edification.

Below is information from Louise Hays' official website, that will give an account of who she is and what she publishes. The first note below was taken from her website:

http://www.hayhouse.com/authorbio.php?id=102

Hay House was founded in 1984 by Louise L. Hay as a way to self-publish her first two books, Heal Your Body and You Can Heal Your Life (YCHYL), both of which became bestsellers and established Louise as a leader in the New Age movement. To date, YCHYL has sold more than 16 million copies worldwide and has been published in 25 languages. Today, Hay House is committed to publishing products that have a positive self-help slant conducive to healing planet Earth.

Also, below is a Louise Hays CD that is offered on the New Age website below. After reviewing the following website, it was found to contain such witchcraft topics as Divination, Hypnotherapy, Psychic and Paranormal, Teen Witch Help, etc:

http://www.mindbodyspiritshop.co.uk/acatalog/Bargain_Mind_Bo dy_Spirit_Au...

Here is a Louise Hays CD for sale. Below is why I find fault with it.

Healing with the Angels CD - Doreen Virtue The Angels are powerful healers, yet they cannot help you unless you ask for their assistance. In this uplifting CD, Dr. Doreen Virtue, a metaphysical healer who works with the angelic realm, helps you discover how you can receive healing assistance from your angels. Doreen discusses various ways that angels can assist you in healing your physical challenges, relationships, finances, careers, friends and family members; as well as helping to ensure your physical safety. She also leads you through a powerful meditation that invites archangels, and your own guardian angels, to heal every area of your life. You'll meet Archangel Gabriel, who brings you angel affirmations and visualizations; Archangel Michael, who assists you with spirit releasement; and Archangel Uriel, who helps you build self esteem and confidence. You'll love how the angels help you feel refreshed, energized and revitalized

My comment: The problem I have with the Louise Hay CD, as well as with many New Age Teachers/Leaders/Writers is that some of their teachings are a direct violation of scripture. God's Word says that if we choose any POWER (angelic, or other power) other than the power of God, a curse will come upon us. (I forget the text on this scripture, but it's there.) The CD is clearly encouraging people to call on Angels to assist them. There is nowhere in scripture that we are given permission to call upon an angel. Because the spirit realm is filled with good and evil spirits, those who are not strong spiritually, and who don't have Biblical knowledge can open themselves to demonic spirits unknowingly. This is a great danger.

There is another problem I have with Bernard Jordan's teaching. He teaches "The Law of Attraction", which is a teaching going around the internet, and reaching millions. The problem with this teaching, although somewhat Biblical, is that it doesn't allow room for God in one's planning and envisioning the future. All efforts are made by self, therefore propagating a Humanistic ideology. I've enclosed Pastor Tom Brown's (Pastor/Evangelist in El,Paso, TX) comments about "The Law of Attraction" below. It is the best explanation of the teaching from a solid Christian standpoint that I've seen. It is on his website:

http://tbm.org/law_of_attraction.htm

Blessings as you seek to know the truth and follow in the principles of scripture and not the ideas of man.

We should change his title from "Master Prophet" to "Master Profit".

Although their are many views on this topic, we should not judge any one. We all have a thorn in our side and sins that we hopelfully are trying to get dilivered from. Rather you agree or disagree with Bishop Jordan. Understand that he is a man of God, it does not matter who we like are dislike or rather they are using their gift in the heavenly realm or the zodiac realm.

Saul was anoited by God as king although God fired him from being king and anoited David as king, David could have killed Saul but he couldnt touch him because God anoited him. That is why David said touch not my anoited and do my prophets no harm. I understand that some of you all are hurt and sickend by this, understand that the vengance is the Lord and he will repay if he is doing things out of the will of God. It is not our job to critisize someone who is weak in faith and if they are not doing what we feel the will of God is. In the old testaments we couldnt go to the Prophets or even the priest without a gift neither the king. Thats why the scripture says our gift will make room for us.

Bishop Jordan has touched many lives through the word of God that came out of his mouth. Maybe it is not your season for your prophecy are you just dont believe in the Gift at all because of many people who claim to be prophets and that are teaching false doctrine. You have to pray for them if you are really strong in the word of God and also have a strong prayer life then the Bible states We who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak. We have to take our mouths off of the woman and the man that God sends trust me God will deal with those who have their own doctrine other than the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus even said many should come to him on that day saying Lord Lord did I heal in your name did I prophesy in your name and he will say depart from me you worker of inquity I knew you not. Let Jesus say that not us we have to pray for the man and woman of God and let God be the judge. If you feel that it is not God you dont have to recieve it but keep your mouth shut because they are still God anoited.

Dont let your pride get in the way too because you as just as wrong as the person who is doing the wrong. Because you are bearing false witness we dont know what God is telling him we dont, dont knock those who gives 3,000 for the school of the prophets, dont they have Theology Schools online thats not free neither. Please for your sakes dont bash him for that lift him up in prayer like they say the one finger you are pointing at others there are more fingers pointing at you so dont judge pray. You are not perfect neither and I am not neither we all have sins that we are dealing with every day. God Bless You all and pray for the prophet there is a blessing when you pray for others that is what we are here for to be intercessors be the body that builds up the kingdom and not tear down. Be a WHEAT and not a TARE.

you can't teach anyone how to be a prophet...you have to be called and anointed by God. It's not like there's a "Prophets for Dummies" book somewhere! C'mon...wake up.

Question: Why did God "fire" Saul? Answer: part of the reason was that he disobeyed God's directive not to go to a fortune teller. Bishop Jordan is a fortune teller.

I just came to see what is going on in here and the only thing that is in my mind is to bless you all regardless of what I see. We all need to grow up in God and God wants us to be one.

Have an outstanding day.

Here is the sad but true fact about having a gift- "-It comes without repentance"- so what that means is that Father blesses us with certain gifts; like prophecy, for instance and we can move in them but still be have a faulty life or agenda. Balaam was "once" a prophet who ended with the legacy of "sorcerer" because he used his gift to curse instead of bless, he used his gift for personal gain aligning himself with the enemies of God's people. In other words, aligning himself against the one True God. I'm not accusing Prophet Jordan of anything, I am not his judge, but what I will say is it is sad when people try to defend wrong. If anyone's actions go against the word of the Living God then we should be sideing with the Living God. Just because some of his prophecy's have come to pass and you went from "ashy-to-classy" (as someone stated) doesn't mean he is not human and can not fall into deception. We have to know the WORD for ourselves, so that when seductive, deceptive spirits come along we can discern them for what they are. As a matter of fact we should pray for the spirit of discernment. Your spirit should be alarmed when prophecy's are for sale. I mean, we should sow a seed- that is scripture and in turn we reap a blessing, but when we turn or gifts into a business? please. Jesus when stark-raving mad when they were selling in the temple. Church is turning into this. Wake up.

"faulty"......you call selling "words of the Lord" faulty? What happened to the priests and his family members when they were disgracing the temple by treating (eating) the shewbread as common food.....answer: they were destroyed.

The Anointing on Bernard Jordan's life is amazing. The presence of God around him is also powerful. Although I do not fully understand the money, I know that if the money is used for God's work, it is good money.

Many of you even in this room who are critical of this man, do not know him. Nor do you know God. Because if you knew God, you would recognize the anointing upon his life. Money and ministry go hand and hand. Without money, those who are ministers would not be able to give into your life, because there focus would be upon self, as to survive.

If Bernard Jordan was wrong, wouldn't you think the government would shut him down as they have investigated everyone else? Even those Televangilists that you watch? But with 30 years experience, he continues to prove that he is called, for the work of God will always prove the test of time. Money should never come first, perhaps the approach should be different. Many people such as yourself are not opposed in giving to a ministry. But with this said, think about this clearly and with intelligence.

Go to any MAJOR ministry and ask them to speak into your life. Go to any well-known minister and ask them for a word from God. I have come to the conclusion that Bernard Jordan is not so much after your money as you think he is, because much of his money is given away. There is nothing wrong with being wealthy. But there is something wrong with being wealthy and not helping people. He continues to speak into Millions of lives and he is equipping many people for self-improvement.

I think we should re-evaluate our approach and look at the good side of this man, rather than all the negative. Your sinful desires pull out the negative, but if you had the perception of Christ, you would see people through the eyes of love.

I agree with your comments. With all that the comments that have been written, I have not read one comment that proved he is a "false prophet". Now you may not agree with his approach, but if you're going to speak about him being a fraud...show some proof.

I think it's time for believers to stop associating wealth with wickedness. My bible says that God wishes above all things, that I should prosper, as my soul prospers.

It's amazing to me that when believers talk about blessings, they put limits on what God is doing in people's lives. I have no problem with a man of God being wealthy. If that man or woman has the faith to believe God for riches, then who am I to doubt or speak against it.

I believe the same God that has blessed Bishop Jordan and many other Pastors/Ministers is the same God that will bless me!

If Bishop Jordan isn't a prophet, God will judge him accordingly. If he's not the prophet he claims to be...show me some proof and stop all the rhetoric!

God bless.

IF YOU SCROLL DOWN LIKE TWO OR THREE COMMENTS TO CYNTIA'S COMMENT THERE IS ALL THE PROOF YOU NEED!!!!! ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE SWEETY!!!! GOD BLESS.......

Dear Folks on here, Mr. Stephen Chaote does exactly now what this Jordan is doing. Asking money for prophecy. Selling them on www.speakgodspeak.com When you write him an email he gets really, really angry and upset. His pride has set him aside as the ONLY one that hears or receives from God ? Hello, is that not a bell that is ringing loudly ? Scripture says the following: 1 John 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. Who's anointing is it ? Only Jesus Christ (Yeshua) is Anointed and the Giver of anointing. We are nobody. We don't have anything. We can't do anything. The Holy Spirit gives as He wills from the instruction of Jesus Who get's His instructions from His Father. John 14. The Father does His plan. His plan is salvation for all mankind. His one and only plan from Genesis to Revelation. God desires but has to arrange. I have written with Stephen Chaote for a while. All his emails that he writes back to you are out of the spirit of Rejection. The most powerful spirit on this earth. The spirit of Rejection causes depression, anger, hate, fear, confusion, bitterness, the root of unforgiveness, destroys love, makes someone paralyzed in a relationship with God the Father. That is if you allow it to operate in you. DO NOT ALLOW THIS ! Also they elevate themselves above all who speaks against them and are rude, demands that you are nice to them, give them money, manipulate you with sly words, wear you out, call you names, twist things you have said and so on. Well, Who's spirit is that ? Just one guess. Just study a bit how Satan works, how he speaks, how he operates in the Bible. Learn how he deceives, manipulates, lies, freaks out about you not willing to submit to his manipulations and deceptions. Satan wants that you worship him instead of God. How better can you do that, if you show off with expensive clothes, cars, watches and the like and eyes look at the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, the pride of life. Nothing wrong with having money. But true prophets used to wear camel hair clothes and eat grasshoppers. Just read it. Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah was even naked, John the Baptist, not one prophet in the bible walks around with state of the art things. None. They are all humble, simple and with authority and no manipulation and twisting in nature. Check out what happened to Haman's servant ????? The Word teaches us: 2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2Thessalonians 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Stephen will react to you in the following manner and I quote: "I don't have time to read this and will not subject myself to stupidity. Stop writing to me. Thanks! Stephen" "By the way God is not speaking through you in any of your e-mails. God is telling me not to write to you because you are a stubborn child of a man and not able to discern the things of God. You are set in your ways and if you did hear the voice of God your approach to me would be very different. Good luck with your ventures crazy man from Africa!" Just to tell everyone here, I am not from Africa and I am not even black !!!! I live in London. Which is Europe and I am white. How accurate that is in prophecy right ? They cover themselves up with excuses and with wrong interpretation of scripture in being sly. My Bible teaches: 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. This is your guidance, the Word of God which must be the centre of your life and the Spirit of Jesus not some profiling prophet that is nasty when you write to them and ask them IN the light of God's Word. And remember this: Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. Revelation 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. Be awake, do not be deceived and let the Spirit of God guide you which is the Holy Spirit, which only talks about Jesus and nothing else. God bless you and stay away from them, Amen

Seems like you have a formula down. If you don't know the annointing of Jordon then you don't know God.

It does seem that the Bible says that the person who normally fills this type of Role is Jesus.

I prefer to keep the focus on Jesus. Good luck in your choice.

The anointing upon a man's Life is spiritual discerned. Let me go deeper in my approach. If you cannot discern a man's gift or anointing with accuracy, then your knowledge of God is limited, because the closer you are to God, the "Greater Foresight" you will ultimately carry. So yes, by discernment or one mans gift/anointing can you reveal how well you know God.

It is the the Anointing of Bishop Jordan that I am speaking of, but rather the anointing of any man of God. It is always right to question and challenge where the money is going. But in regards to this approach, it would be better for these people who accuse him, to better themselves by looking in the "Mirror". Perhaps as they focus upon self and not others, they may find a secret sin to work on, instead of making judgment's which connect to personal protocals and inconsistent opinions.

I am not defending this man, but rather express the truth of what I know. In light of this discovery, I believe it is only wise to look to Christ first and foremost, as you mentioned and not one man or even your own minister/pastor that you see every Sunday.

Christ should always come first-

WARNING to Christians: please read the comments by B. Jordan on this discussion forum: http://www.amazon.com/Wondering/forum/

(B. Jordan has written a book about the Laws of Thinking, which is his own man-made philosophy. But people take it as the truth just because it was written by a prophet) He also uses NUMEROLOGY for his prophecies.Definition from Wikipedia: "Numerology is any of many systems, traditions or beliefs in a mystical or esoteric relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things......Today, numerology is often associated with the occult, alongside astrology and similar divinatory arts"

Here are some direct quotes from B.Jordan from that discussion forum (where he talks about manifesting money through the power of your mind):

1. "The power of the Word is unchallenged. God imagined Creation in His Mind, then brought it into manifestation with a Word. You have the ability to do the same-indeed, you have the responsibility to do it as part of your role as God."

2. "When you get something because of your divinity, your "I Am" consciousness, your Godliness (god-likeness), no one can take it away."

Guys, THIS IS SATANS OLDEST TRICK: To make people believe that they can be like God!!!! He did it in the garden of eden, and he still continues to do it because it always works...pride and ego. he slipped a little lie into Eve's mind...Don't think satan does not try to do it to us too! It also smacks of new age philosophy.....which encourages self actualisation to a state of "I AM GOD" and "godlikeness" of people. And just because someone speaks about "God", does not imply that they are talking about Jesus Christ. All religions speak about "God". And just because there are supernatural encounters, does not mean that these encounters are from the good side. In the spiritual realm there are evil spirits too, which are masquerading as angels of light to deceive people and to spread false doctrines. It is well-known that prophets of God go through a period of deception during their prophetic training as well so that they can learn to identify deception, because even the elect can be deceived and because God needs to be able to trust prophets to represent Him accurately. This requires spiritual discernment. When people who are in leadership positions (pastors, lecturers, prophets) start saying things that are not in the Bible then we need to be cautious. That is how deception and false doctrine creeps in..... Many people who are deceived are well-meaning Christians, it is very easy to be deceived. The path to LIFE is very narrow.....The apostle Paul continuously warns us to be careful that we should not be deceived by anyone......for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world (ephesians 6vs12).

The truth is: Only Jesus Christ is "I AM". That is His name only. Because He was not created, but He has always existed and will always exist. He was there at the beginning and created the world and everything in it. Guys, the gospel of Jesus Christ is so simple, all it requires is faith like a child. Jesus came for the poor, the outcasts of society, the widows, for everyone. His message was simple and clear. He did not require of these people to over-analyse and dabble in the occult and come up with lofty arguments and theories. This looks like a stronghold of the mind, or a deception. In any case, the focus of followers of Jesus Christ should be to spread the gospel to get people saved, not "who wants to be a millionaire". There is often a BALAAM spirit (associated with divination- which is NOT from the Holy Spirit) behind these money making ministries...The ones that say "God told me to ask you for $1000 and then you will be blessed", "God told me to ask you for...." This is manipulation!! The Bible says manipulation is like witchcraft). People, TIME IS RUNNING OUT. Do not lose focus, spread the truth, keep your eyes on Jesus. The Bible contains in it everything that God wanted people to know about Him from the beginning of this world to the end in the book of revelation...That is all that we need to know.....the Word is a light unto your path...

Stephen, I see from your website that you are a Christian and that you really want to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and you genuinely want to help people. And I really wish you all the best. Please don't take this as a personal attack. I am just worried when you say that B. Jordan is your mentor...there is a lot of negative publicity about B. Jordan.........

Now obviously I do think that God wants His children to be blessed and I do think that ministries need financial support. Jesus did come so that we can have abundant life even now while we are on earth. Ministries do need money to sustain themselves, and for community projects, feeding the poor, missions, etc. But as soon as the focus is on extravagent amounts of money and there is a manipulative spirit behind it....then I hear warning bells! I think we should always learn from checking what Jesus Himself said about money in the New Testament, since Jesus is God. He said to the rich man that he should give up everything he has and follow Him.......it is harder for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rch man to enter the Kingdom of God....because a rich man relies on his riches to solve all his problems, so he doesn't need to rely on God to bail him out. It is when we are in desperate situations that we realise we can't rely on anything but God to help us, and this builds true fatih...

Sorry! I meant it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God....Matthew 19vs23.

Please forgive my error there, I didn't proof read it :-)

One day I stubbled across his ministry on tv, prophecising and encouraging viewers to call in to receive a prophecy. Well, I called this number 800-296-1941 and got a recording of him speaking and instructing me to leave my name, address, and birthday, and that I will receive a letter giving a shocking secret that has happened in my life. At this point, I'm like wow!, if this man can reveal to me what that shocking secret was, then I have no reason to doubt him. So, I waited and waited and waited for months, finally I received the letter. Anxiously, reading the letter there was not a shocking secret that was revealed. But, there was talk about what God intends to do for me if I sow this seed of a small amount (don't remember). When he did not follow through on his promise, I decided he was a fake who was just after money. Then one day I received another letter talking about what God has in store for me if I sow this seed (different amount). As time past more letters came, and then they stopped. Well today I received a call from NY. I didn't recognize the caller id, but was curious and answered. This time it was another recording telling me to call 641-594-7500 and to give this conference code 359013# for a conference with Master Prophet because God has instructed him to prophecy to me. I made this long distance call and followed the rules, and instantly I was able to here a conference which included him and other prophets calling names of individuals who have sow a seed from $37-$352 dollars. A prophet was assigned to that individual to give their prophecy, and then followed with Master Prophets prophecy. Furthermore, some givers would be instructed after sowing a seed of $35 dollars to sow $352 dollar more because they had more prophecy and counseling and offers to share with them. Anybody that gave $118 would receive a book of prophecy that included about Barack Obama becoming the President of the United States and that African Americans should not rejoice in this because there will be much suffering amongst them. That Barack will be a puppet of munipulation, etc. But, because of the problems I'm having in my life currently I wanted to here something that may be positive about me. So, I called a number 212-316-2177 given by him to sow a seed for $37 , and then called back to NY hoping to hear my name called during the conference. While listening he said to call this number 800-296-1941 to receive a letter from him. Well I did, and what did I get , that same recording telling me that he had a shocking secret to reveal about me. At this point the doubt in my MIND was heavy,I felt so STUPID,and swindled by this man. Now, I wanted to call my bank to put a stop on this payment. As I was thinking of this, the phone rang, it was the NY call. The lady that took my information from my card said that my card would not go through, and she repeated the numbers back to me to confirm. She then asked me did I want to use another card. Feeling so grateful to God, I said no.

GOD YOU ARE AWSOME!!!! THIS IS ANOTHER REMINDER TO SEEK YOU FIRST AND HAVE FAITH THAT YOU WILL WORK THINGS OUT. PLEASE NEVER LEAVE MY SIDE

I am so glad you took time to right this. No more than an hour ago I was watching this guy on television and decided to search his name. When you broadcast something of this magnitude and have respectable people backing you such as Judge Hatchet, Al Sharpton ? , and Rev Run formerly of Run DMC one tends to beleive that he maybe a real prophet. Honestly I do believe that GOD gives these types of gifts, however often the flesh (humans) tend to exploit the gifts given by GOD. I do not believe that a prophecy should cost you or should you feel pressured to give because someone prophecy to you. Thanks for discussing what he had to say about Obama you saved me a few $.

you are not stoopid...sometimes God will allow us to go outside of ourself and do things that we know are wrong in order to really see that HE is the ALMIGHTY God....there is none like Him and NONE can compare to HIM.....that truly was a blessing that the card didnt go through.....your testimony provided the proof that all the followers of this man should need.....true he was given the gift of prophecy but has used it for evil and not for God...anyone that say they are the Master Prophet and above everyone int he city that they reside in and that people kiss his ring to pay hommage to him....to pay for a prophecy...to pay to hear God's word...to sign up for a free prophecy...that is all rediculous and the bible does in fact say that we shouldn't judge people not even ourself BUT we to have the God given the ability to discern spirits and there is nothing wrong with that.....all the followers of this man sound like the little kids when they get caught doing something wrong and they say...they are just picking on me...no you got caught doing something you KNOW is wrong and have been put in the spotlight......JESUS is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE and anyone that comes to the Father must first come through HIM!!!!! HE IS THE GREAT I AM!!!!

God Bless you sis

Please do not feel stupid. There are many people out there just like you who are looking for answers. Unfortunately while looking we run into those who profess to be able to give answers when they cannot or are looking to get your money. I fell for this too. I was just curious and I stayed on the phone for sometime before I finally hung up. After reading you post and the post of others I feel relieved that I hung-up when I did. I just hope I'm not charged for the call or that my call to them will set-off a series of unwanted solicitation calls from them. You story has helped others - thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. I tried calling the church to reach an old Deacon friend of mine that I knew years ago when I lived in New York and was immediately greeted by persons who wanted me to donate. I said no I'm not giving any money. I'm trying to reach Deacon Martin or someone in Media. They just kept asking for money and then eventually hung up on me.

Whenever you approach a prophet, you must have a tithe, offering, or sacrafice in hand. I always do when I call. I hope to be able to join the POME organization, and move to NYC to study under the Master Prophet and his son, Manasseh.

Read 1 corinthians chapter 12: 1-11

The only thing that bothers me is that as born again believers our job is to preach the gospel to every living creature and bring people closer to christ, and yet, as believers it seems like the only thing that we are worrying about is pride and money, this is why we have so many people today in society that do not believe in GOD because they are watching us so called christians acting a fool on television, church, and around the world. As a born again believer i decided to stop listening to all these people that calls themselves prophets and just pray for them and be sensitive to the holy spirit, seek the kingdom of GOD FISRT! Do his commandmentsvand be obedient to his word, believe me he will pour you out a blessing its just that simple, and in the end for all of you wonderful works on eart GOD will say "well done thy good and faithful servant"

God bless you all!!

I too believe it is our responsibility to let everyone know about the Gospel and Jesus, and all that God can do and most of all, let this all be under the umbrella of "service". I want to live to serve. I agree that we need to pray for these people on the tele, these self appointed prophets.

I have seen Mr. Jordan's shows, and recently called to hear one of his live phone conferences that allow you to listen and type in a chatroom and the same time, since they cannot hear you over the phone anyway. I could not tell you why in the world I would even consider doing this, but I did. I guess I thought, hey, I can hear their study, ask for prayer and it would be cool....It was not. One "prophetess" told me "don't come asking for something for nothing, and never come to a prophet empty handed". When I told (typed to them) that I didnt have any money to buy anything, one man must have seen my typing (there werent but a few in the chatroom) and he said on the phone "those of you hoding on to your seed, you know you have it and better give it up!"

All I needed was prayer. They did not once offer it to me. Even though I was informed of their sales pressure, It was the middle of th night, and I needed human contact and prayer. I cried all night and prayed because I felt so much anger and hate.

They, just like we all do, need prayer. I called the next day to tell them that I didnt want their "free written prophesy" and the lady said "well, if you asked for it, you can just throw it away when it gets there. I told her I just ordered it very earliy that same morn, she took my name, and I told her that what happened really hurt me, and I just wanted prayer. She hung up on me then. pray for them. I just dont get how people can be so cold.

Sorry so long, I needed to get that out...I think.

God Bless.

jameel i will call out your name in prayer that god will supply all of your need, spiritually, physically and in the area of your soul(intellect, will, mind and emotions) according to His riches and Glory in Christ Jesus. He is able ! I apologize that you had to be hurt by people professing to speak on God's behalf. Don't hate them just forgive them and go on with your life know that God has thier number and will attend to them as He sees fit.

Master Prophet Bernard Jordan calls my home almost daily. I am on the no call list and have reported this guy with no luck. Anyone know how to get the sob to stop calling ?

G

Whatever your opinions may be the best thing you can do is take him up in prayer.

...and, warn others. Would you not warn other people who were standing in line to get swamped by a tidal wave if you saw others up the line who had also been rolled under that same wave? pray, yes...warn others yes!

i thought that when you need something from the lord you ask him right? ive been getting letters from peter popoff telling me in order for me to know what my spiritual gifts are i need to send him 21 dollars. i understand that sowing a seed helps let god open doors for you and gives you blessings but i think that if we need to sak god something or know something we should ask him and that these preachers driving nice cars and having nice houses need to re evaluate themselves. mother theresa came from wealth dropped it all to live with the poor and do gods works. jesus said it is hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. i can understand being a preacher and helping the church but how much are you helping the church by having a nice home and a nice car and expensive jewelry and rings on all fingers. i think that in my opinion is wrong. we should all do our tides and help our church and our own pasture of the church but why do we help all the big churches that sponsor guys like peter popoff but not little churches barely making it about to close down. that is where i would invest in my money into a church that really needs it not where it overflows with money where the preacher is living in rich luxuries. i dont know its just my opinion god bless, Aimee

you should not judge him.you don't know him like i do.

church can lead you to God or from God.

many people preach,yet this is the truth

not all are from God,yet bishop is.

people from hell try to lead all they can from being happy.

you waste people's time

so go and judge yourself for you would not want to be judged.

it is the law.

blah, blah, blah

It's pathetic that in the year 2009, there are still people who believe in magical invisible entities that grant wishes. It's a bit more pathetic when they're stupid enough to give money to self-appointed scammers like Master Conman Bernard Jordan and Randi-busted Peter Popoff, but really it's all the same crap.

Here's hoping that, by the year 2100, the species will be over this fairy tale garbage. Unlikely, but hey, we went from inventing the airplane to landing on the moon in less than a century, so the intelligence is in us SOMEWHERE.

I am sorry to read all of the negative comments about Bishop Jordan. I am observing from the comments that are written that people are seeking prophecies and making contributions with ulterior motivations. There are principles in God's word that describe what our actions should be to prosper physically and spiritually. The difference between myself and many critics is that I have a relationship with God and apply his word and have already heard from him first and Bishop Jordan only confirmed what God has already told me from his word and via the Holy Sprit. God showed me that I will obtain a higher degree and that he would open up financial doors for me, which was revealed in prophecies from Bishop Jordan and his team: I have surrendered and consistently paid my tithes faithfully in the past three months and planted seed money for the fruit that I want to manifest. Bishop as a prophet provided confirmation, comfort, and encouragement for what I have been already praying and pondering upon. PRAISE REPORT!!!! I received a letter from the IRS and they informed me that their was a mistake on my income tax because of a change in the recovery rebate on Line 42 and that I will be refunded: $2,941.00. Prophet Jordan has not received a boat load of money from me because I wasn't paying for financial blessings, but planting seed money expecting what God has promised if I would seek the kingdom of God first and all of his righteousness......Matt.6:33. Thank You Bishop and your team for letting God use you-all of the prophecies coincided with what I have praying and ponderning in my Spirit man. My faith has always birthed miracles.

Juliah Perkins- I agree. When I called and sowed a small seed of just $52 he team prophesied to me and everything they said was what I have been pondering in my Spirit. I can not believe how accurate they were about what God had already told me through praying and worshiping God. See I went in with no alternative motives, I don't trust man but I do trust God! They just confirmed and encouraged me that those plans were the will of God for my life. The things that they said no one would have known but God! I believe that a lot of people are going to him without a pure heart. Believe God works through people like Master Prophet Jordan. Even one of the prophetess said that " the Lord said I answered you before you called." And it was so true I had been hearing this for about a couple of months but I have been slow to act on it, knowing that God was calling me to do this certain thing. My faith in God puts me in a position to prosper. I am sorry to hear so many critics about this man. But to each its own. There is power in prophecy. It encouraged me to get off my butt and do that which God has called me to do! I see it like this, it is just confirmation of what I have already heard for the Spirit of the Living God. See I seek God first, then if I need spiritual enrichment I speak to my bishop or pastors or prophet. They can help you stay on course and enrich your life.

There is indeed power in prophecy!!! I joined Zoe Ministries during the summer of last year, and have since sowed over $1500 into the Master Prophets ministry. His son Manasseh is starting his own phophetic ministry and I hope to meet him in person one day.

Well if YOU made a mistake on YOUR taxes - eventually the IRS would have sent you the money - it was YOUR money - what is so magical or why is this such a blessing -

blind leading the blind -- so sad - tithing has nothing to do with being blessed with money or material wealth - the people who are scammed using the tithes and offering plan is just so sad - there is however the real principle of sowing and reaping; however, God promised some that they would reap where they did not sow - two groups of people can fall into this category - people like Master Prophet and people who have nothing to sow - Praise God for He gives the increase -

Give and it will be given unto you, pressed down, shaken together and running over, God will cause men to give unto your bosom - I give, I don't tithe, I don't do offerings - all my needs are met according to the promise of God and God has been gracious to give me many of the desires of my heart - because I delight myself in Him and His word - not one tithe goes to anybody - hmmmmmmmm - I've reaped where I didn't sow - God's ways are so amazing aren't they!

You are so right. I joined Zoe Ministries in July 2009, on a day that Manasseh was offering his prophecy. It was a life changing event. I have since sowed over $3000 into the ministry and I am saving up the money to join POME.

The prophet is the truth Period. He is a man of God. He's not asking for money. He's asking you to sow a seed. Whether it be a seed of 200 or 1000 or 5000 dollars you sow knowing that God will look out for you. I gave a seed of 1000 dollars and I dont not work. I go to school and My son is up here with me. I gave 1000 dollars knowing that if I became broke and a bum w/e God would look out for me. 3 Days later I get a call from my scholarship telling me that I'm receiving 1,800 dollars. This is how God works. it's not that your trusting the prophet, but instead your trusting GOD. But understand it's all in how u approach the situation like anything in life. One cannot deny the testimonies from his word....What do you say about those people? People always look at the BAd or try to Point out the BAD no mATTER what. Look at what People did to Jesus!

In no way Am i comparing him to Jesus at all I'm just saying this is the nature of people. And we must also understand that although we're on the SAME earth we're not in the same WORLD we all live in different worlds although some of us may have knowledge of another world which is by sharing the same experience. if you know not my experiences how can you judge me? Exactly you can't because my experiences shape my mind set and the way i think. Satan is after the mind which is why we here "The mind is the battle field"...God led me to the master Prophet because this is the next realm he was taking me into. Only if you knew...

"He's not asking for money. He's asking you to sow a seed." If that were true, then suggest that he ask you to "sow a seed" into another ministry than his, and see if he does that.

Hey, I made over $70,000 last year and only did about 40 hours worth of work - I didn't sow one dime into the Master Prophet's program - didn't call him for verification, clarification, confirmation - none of that - maybe I'm a prophet, God promised to meet my needs and guess what, He did! I find it to be true that God's sheep hear HIS voice and another's they will not follow. God spoke to me to be faithful over the little I had and HE would exalt me in due season - if people spend as much time as they say meditating on God's word, spending time listening and not talking to God, I don't see why they can't just do what they hear God saying to them - cut out the middle man - bless the weak, the poor and needy with all that money you send to the Master Prophet - don't forget the people God has a big heart for - widows and orphans - you know a portion of the tithe and offerings were to go directly to them - no middle taxation - next time send your money to an orphanage or widow's home in the name of the Master Prophet and see how blessed you are!

I don't believe a word you say. You're just doing ads for Zoe Ministries. All believers, BEWARE!

The only "Truth" is God's Word and the inspiration for His Word (Jesus Christ)!

No other "man" is truth.....there's your first mistake Raymond.

Another prophet who is being mentored by Jordan is Stephen Choate. He promotes himself and sells prophecy . I asked him to stop sending me his e-mail adverts for prophecies (I had received some from him previously) and he responded very angrily and now blocked me from his site.

Why do other ministries and churches never mention Jordan and Choate?? I think it is a valid question.

No Stephen did not block you from his site nor was he mentored by Bishop Jordan. He does ask for a gift by the majority of his money goes to the Gospel where as with Jordan it goes to fancy cars and big houses.

State your facts correctly before you accuse others you don't know. Stephen might have reacted to you a certain way because you were probably very rude to him. For those who know Stephen they love him. He is very honorable and loves people.

Stephen does not love people, Stephen loves only Yes men. My encounter with him is so far that he is hateful, aggressive and miserable. Calling you names when he does not even know who you are and ask him a simple question that is addressed at his ministry and bragging. Stephen loves money. You know what they say about money, 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Stephen answers like this in Emails: "Please honor my request for you not to e-mail me on this account. I deal with many clients and other ministers from all walks of life. Please respect my wish in Godly manner. "As of today every e-mail sent will be sent to my spam inbox and disregarded if this e-mail is ignored. Do not reply because I will not open it. I will trash it immediately. Thank you! Stephen" Trash someone's Email ? Why ? My Emails were a question like, Stephen can I get 10 minutes from you to Worship with me the Lord ? That needs so much to be trashed is it not ? Worshipping God is a really bad thing to do. That is how it comes over when you see Stephen's answer. I don't call that a man of God. Hardly. I call that selfish and puffed up. It is impossible that someone like that is filled with the Spirit of God and has so much experiences from Jesus Himself. I have spiritually discerned him. The Lord has given me the spirit of discernment a long time ago and I am called to the world to bring them to Christ and I am called to Test the spirits whether they are out of God. I have travelled 34 countries in the world and have done most of them more that 10 times. It is is really painful for me that I have such a calling. Because rebuke is a difficult thing to do. I hate it that a lot of ministers are abusing finances for all kinds of things. The thing is that the gifts of God are irrevocable. I am very much aware that we are all sinners and no one is good. But what we need to be aware of is that there are people out there that abuse their gifts for their own glory even if they claiming that they are do it for God's glory. They are likely been trained in Astral Projection, Kundalini Power, Familiar spirits and opening of the Third Eye and using it for their own gain as the book of Jude is teaching us. Stephen does not want you to focus upon him and tries to divert you from it finding that he using things for own gain to be in the spotlight. When you study the Major and the Minor Prophets in the bible you will see that they do things for a country or a people. We can see a lot of modern day prophets what they do in the end. Like Roberts Liardon, I know him personally. Paul Cain, seen him too in ministries. They do the very thing they write books about not to do, the abominable thing of Homosexuality. There are others that do things like that. Like Charles Slagle who got completely off the rails many years ago. Another thing is PRIDE, being haughty, puffed up, arrogant and aggressive and uncontrolled. Prophets need to under a Ministry with Spiritual discernment and a Theologian to correct them of becoming flakey of not lining up to the Word of God and they usually become distracted with their spiritual encounters they have and lose control over self. Prophets that are doing their own things are now in the ministry of self and money and using their gift for gain and greed. It's about the five fold ministry. All of these are together and need each other, whether by correction or edification of what ...... yes the BODY OF CHRIST ! Nothing like private revelation for money. Stephen needs to repent or even deliverance of his attitude and come down to level with those that need God and show the love of Jesus through him, including those who give him a hard time, until he has learned that, he will not be taken serious by me. Thank you, God bless, Yeriel

I just sent Master Prophet Jordan my tithes for the week and also a "prosperity seed" of $188. I have been supporting his ministry for over a year now.
