The self-proclaimed “prophet” Manasseh Jordan was mentored by Benny Hinn and his father "Bishop" Elijah Bernard Johnson. He soon became wealthy from unsolicited pre-recorded robocalls to people that promise a "financial blessing" if you call him back or send him an email. He has been sued 19 times in federal court over the last four years for alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
The prosecution in its latest case against Jordan cited records showing MJM placed more than 163 million automatic calls to a database of more than 4 million unique cellphone numbers in just two years. Among the violations cited were 74 robocalls to Jeffrey Molitor, 138 calls to Laura De la Cabada, 118 to Steve Clarke, and 36 to Ruth Maki.
The plaintiffs were awarded $549,000.
The natural heart of man is full of every kind of sin. But thanks be to God that all sin can be forgiven at the Cross of Christ. Today in prayer, confess any sin in your heart and seek to follow Jesus in all that you do.
“You must keep all earthly treasures out of your heart, and let Christ be your treasure, and let Him have your heart.” – Charles H. Spurgeon
God’s Word: “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.” – Matthew 15:19
