Bishop Elijah
Bernard Jordan is the founder and Senior Pastor of Zoe
Ministries since 1983. Zoe Ministries had its beginning
in Westfield, New Jersey with 60 people in attendance.
A thriving prophetic church with a vision to impact
the world with the gospel, Zoe continued to develop
the facets of ministry under Bishop Jordan’s leadership
that marked it as a church in pursuit of destiny; called
to fulfill the will of the Lord. Armed with a vision
of a church resplendent in a glory greater than of Solomon’s
Temple, Bishop Jordan has been building a ministry of
restoration that would accurately reflect the Biblical
pattern, tearing down the constraints of traditionalism
and exposing the lies that have led the church into
captivity.
Zoe Ministries
touches thousands, both nationally and internationally.
Noted primarily for his prophetic ministry and revelatory
teaching, Bishop Jordan established the School of the
Prophets in 1985. The School is specifically geared
towards those who are called to function in prophetic
ministry, yet is an invaluable source of ministerial
ethics that are applicable to any office of ministry.
He is also noted for his uncanny accuracy of the prophecies
that he ministers. Businessmen, political officials,
celebrities and churches are numbered among the thousands
who have consulted Bishop Jordan for counsel and direction
through the Word of the Lord.
Bishop Jordan
teaches biblical principles and ethics essential to
successful living. His life-changing messages on reformation
and liberation have sparked acclaim, as well as controversy,
as he teaches the unadulterated Word of God. A liberator
in his own right, Bishop Jordan is charged with preparing
the church for the New Millennium and stands with the
heart of a father, acknowledging that he is but one
of hundreds of thousands called by God to prophesy.
His teachings have stabilized many who were floundering
with a gift in manifestation without understanding the
order of God.
He has traveled
to Swaziland, South Africa, and delivered the Word of
the Lord to the Queen and the Royal Family. He has prophesied
in many nations, including Germany, Canada, Korea and
the Caribbean, bringing an astute word of counsel to
the leadership and royalty of those countries. In February
1988, he was invited to address a special assembly of
ambassadors and diplomats at the United Nations concerning
the oppressive racism in South Africa. He addressed
the assembly again in February 1992, and prophesied
of the impending liberation of South Africa, which has
come to pass.
Upon his consecration
in 1994 as a cabinet Bishop by His Eminence, Archbishop
Roy E. Brown, Bishop Jordan continues to emerge as a
leader among leaders, bringing hundreds of pastors into
a new awareness of their destiny through motivational
teachings and The Word of the Lord.
Bishop Jordan
is in great demand, for he is quite charismatic and
personable. He is often featured on various telecasts,
both locally and nationally. Most recently, he has been
featured on NBC’s Today Show, FOX 5, Good Day
New York, CNN, and many, many others. He was also featured
in The Daily News, New York Times, New York Post and
Newsday with some of his congregates as well as in an
interview in Billboard Magazine on his views concerning
social issues.
A gifted lecturer
and renowned host of “The Power of Prophecy”
national telecast, Bishop Jordan’s talents are
notably enhanced by his ecumenical calling as a prophet
of God. He has also initiated the production of Zoe
Ministries’ nationally known album “Come
Together,” on Benson Records.
As stated
earlier, Bishop Jordan has impacted governmental officials
on many levels. He was awarded proclamations of recognition
from Governor Mario Cuomo, former Governor of New York,
and Mayor David Dinkins, former Mayor of New York, for
outstanding leadership and community service for establishing
OPERATION: HOPE, designed especially to feed the homeless
community in New York. Bishop Jordan has also forged
a relationship with the New York State Correction Commission
to help develop and guide the lives of young women assigned
to Riker’s Island Stepsister Program. He has received
numerous awards and proclamations from political officials
around the world that are too numerous to mention, for
he is widely respected as a man of integrity and admired
for his generosity.
Bishop Jordan
is a modern-day prophet whose ministry is absolutely
astounding! Like Nostradamus, Bishop Pike, and Edgar
Cayce, the accuracy of the gift that operates in Bishop
Jordan will astound you! He is known to predict exact
names, dates, and times of events both individually
and globally! His visual perception is so exact that
he is able to give accurate descriptions of locations
that are pertinent to the recipient of the prophecy!
Bishop Jordan differs from those who can operate with
extra-sensory perception, for his calling as a prophet
endows him with a degree of authority. As a prophet,
he can truly decree a thing and see it established---just
like the prophets of the Scriptures! He is not one just
to give information, but he is also known to create
miracles and circumvent events merely by the power of
his speech!
Like any prophet
as indicated in the Scriptures, Bishop Jordan also possesses
a phenomenal insight into the universal truths of the
Divine, and he has a unique ability to motivate people
to move beyond mediocrity and embrace excellence in
their lives. Bishop E. Bernard Jordan lectures extensively,
both nationally and internationally. He is frequently
called upon to declare his message that all may attain
Zoe-which is a Greek word meaning “The God Kind
Of Life,” after which the ministry is named. People
all over the world have been brought to the sacred truth
that they are not victims in life, but “Destiny
is not left up to chance, but it’s a matter of
choice!”
Bishop Jordan
has made available to the public an extensive library
of cassette and video tapes geared to impart the "Zoe
--- GOD Kind of Life" Christian philosophy.
Thousands
of people attribute their success, prosperity, health
and happiness directly to the master teachings of Bishop
E. Bernard Jordan. His dynamic teachings bring the inquiring
mind principles of living a life that is resplendent
with the attributes of wholeness and abundance sought
by everyone.
In the year
of 1997, God began a new thing in the life of Bishop
Mar Elijah Bernard Jordan. God gave him a burden to
raise up 300 Prophets (termed "Neophytes")
before the turn of the New Millennium. Hence, the Prophetic
Order of Mar Elijah was born, and 300 Prophets-in-training
called "Neophytes" would become the foundation
stones.
Mar Elijah
flows with the wisdom and insight of the prophet Daniel,
of whom the Bible says understood all the sciences.
In their time and season, Moses and Joseph also understood
the prophetic sciences of their day, enabling them to
overcome their obstacles. The Neophytes under The Prophetic
Order of Mar Elijah are trained not only to hear the
voice of God and articulate it accurately, but are taught
scientific ways of mind renewal and development using
the Word of God and proven technique sciences.
As an author,
Bishop Jordan has written over 40 books, that encompasses
an astounding range of topics. He has written on such
subjects as "Mentoring," " Spiritual
Protocol," "The Power of Money," "Seed
of Destiny," "What Every Woman Needs to Know
About a Man," and many others too numerous to list.
Bishop E.
Bernard Jordan earned his doctorate in Religious Studies
in 1991, and in 1993, earned his Ph.D. in Philosophy
of Religious Studies. He serves as an adjunct professor
for several colleges across the country.
Pastor Debra
Jordan, his beautiful and accomplished wife, stands
with Bishop Jordan in his global vision for ministry,
and serves as Chief Financial Officer.
They are the proud parents of
five children: Naomi, Bethany, Joshua, Aaron and Yakim
Manasseh. Their vision of liberation shall literally
shake the nations of the earth! |
