A self-proclaimed "prophet" who is into prosperity gospel is offering to raise the dead, predict the future and heal the sick for the price of $1,000.

The message of Yakim Manasseh Jordan of Brooklyn says, "The Lord began to speak to me and he showed me major losses that you have experienced within the last two to five years."

He promises that there are "a miracle favor cloud," "a prosperity blessing," and "financial blessing" for everyone including loved ones, according to the Daily Beast.

"It's almost as if the second letter of the second syllable in the name is like a vowel making an 'ah' or an 'a"' sound. I must know how much money you are asking God to release. So write me back, and email me immediately...I have to give you this prophesy," he adds.

But Jordan's robocalls have spawned lawsuits filed by irked recipients.

"It is miserable. I have no idea how they got [my number] but they've been calling for over a year," said 20-year-old Tyrell Crosby, a student at the University of Oregon.

Allen Lee Scott, 41, said what he does upon receiving the call is "I press 1 every so often. Lets you leave a message. Sometimes I read poetry or just leave extreme farting sounds."

The prosperity gospel pastor has been sued 16 times in the last three years for violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) that was passed targeting telemarketers.

What Jordan does is settle the lawsuits and seals the terms of the settlement. This year, Jordan was sued four times—in Texas, Florida, Illinois and New York.

"Unsolicited pre-recorded robocalls to people without consent, that's a problem, and it's why he's being sued," explained Ian Ballon, an intellectual property and Internet attorney.

He said the "lawsuits can be expensive to litigate. He may view it as it being worth any price to keep on reaching out to people, but that's not typical."

Jordan's bio shows he started preaching at 8 years old.
