Bishop Walker holds an honorary “Doctorate of Divinity.”  In addition, he was consecrated into the Bishopric in 2014, and affirmed in 2018 by Archbishop Ralph Dennis,  Presiding Prelate, Kingdom Fellowship Covenant Ministries.  Bishop Walker has an anointed and prophetic ministry, where he ministers as a Spiritual Psychologist, specializing in the areas of “Healing and Deliverance.”  Bishop ministers not only to the Spirit of Man, but to the Mind of Man, as well.

 

Bishop Walker was called by God to be a prophet from his mother’s womb.  The gifts of this office were present at the age of 5 years old, and he has been preaching and teaching for over three decades.  At the age of 29, Bishop Walker suffered a life-altering stroke, which rendered him legally blind in his left eye, and completely paralyzed on the right side of his body.  Bishop Walker was miraculously healed, and this healing even bewildered his doctors, in that the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ restored every aspect of Bishop Walker’s health.  In 2015, Bishop was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer.  Pushing his way through the treatment and radiation process, while continuing to serve in ministry and in his outreach programs, he was again healed, and ultimately diagnosed as cancer free.

 

Bishop Walker’s current book project entitled “Vision beyond sight” speaks to the powerful concept of vision and sight.  Sight - which is confined only to what you can see, does not speak to your dreams, nor confirms your vision.  The book elaborates on the concept that Dreamers and Visionaries walk in the supernatural, the unexpected, and the remarkable, and it details how vision takes you beyond sight!  

 

Bishop Walker is married to the very lovely and anointed, Elder Lisa Walker, and his primary pursuits are being a responsible husband and father;  growing the body of Christ; impacting community for the kingdom of God, ministering to non-believers and believers, as well as being used as a tool to break down walls of social injustice and satanic strongholds.
