Brother John Elving

I am a street minister working with the homeless and people with drug addictions. God bless you. My whole life I struggled with drug addictions.

By the grace of God, I am in my 6 years clean and sober. Now in my 5 years of full-time street ministry. I love the homeless and the addicted.

When I was a teenage runaway I got involved with streetlife, gangs, jail, and homelessness. I graduated from the Teen Challenge drug addictions center and flew to Mexico City. Two years later I graduated with a diploma in Ministry in Spanish. My ministry is focused on the truth found in the Bible taught in all Christian Churches. I was dedicated and baptized in a Pentecostal church. My family has been a part of the Canadian Pentecostal church for three generations.

The good news of the Gospel is forgiveness of sin. The consequence of our sins is hell, a place of torment for eternity. The Father sent his only son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. We accept the gift of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ.

There are great pastors in your community who want to help you. Contact them and get involved in a local church. We are all one family in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In this video I take a close look at two major claims Mike Signorelli made in his recent livestream from Rome. These ideas are now spreading quickly online, and they need to be weighed carefully against Scripture.

If you'd like to support my ministry, I appreciate it. Here's a link to my website. https://www.brotherjohnelving.com/donate

1. The Bob Jones Super Bowl Prophecy

Mike repeats Bob Jones’ old prophecy that when the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl, “apostolic chiefs” will rise. There is nothing in the Bible that ties God’s prophetic timeline to the NFL, sports events, or modern omens. Scripture warns us not to go beyond what is written, and this teaching goes far beyond anything God has revealed.

2. The Death of the Pope as a “Global Spiritual Shift”

Mike also says that the Pope’s death released a major transition in the spiritual realm. Again, the Bible gives us no instruction to watch world leaders die in order to interpret God’s will. Hebrews 1:2 tells us clearly that God has spoken to us through His Son, not through funerals or symbolic guesses about world events.

3. Calling Critics “Minions of Satan”

Mike even warns:
“To people who’ll clip and critique: you are going to become minions of Satan… many of you will come under serious judgment if you don’t repent.”

This is dangerous language. The Bible commands believers to test all prophecy and examine every teaching. A faithful minister welcomes biblical testing. He doesn’t threaten judgment on anyone who asks questions.

I am not making this video to attack anyone. I am doing it because I care deeply about the Body of Christ and I want believers grounded in the Word of God, not in sensational prophecies built on football games or the death of a religious figure.

Before I get into the deeper problems with Steve’s message on Daystar, I want to speak from a pastoral place of real concern. I’ve been in ministry long enough to recognize when someone is preaching something that sounds spiritual, emotional, and stirring, but is not grounded in the Word of God. And sadly, Steve Holmstrom has built an entire ministry around a distorted framework, teaching that there are two gospels — “the gospel of the kingdom” and “the gospel of salvation.”

That alone should deeply trouble any Christian who reads their Bible in context. There is one gospel. One Lord. One message of salvation. One faith delivered once for all to the saints. When someone divides the gospel into separate categories, as Steve does, it becomes a doorway for confusion, experience-based theology, and a complete departure from the apostolic message. His inability — or unwillingness — to read Scripture in context has led him into sensational teachings, charismatic extremism, and a pattern of interpretations that cannot be defended from the text of Scripture.

For those who want documentation, I’ve put together a page on my website where I’ve collected some of the most hyper-extreme, unbiblical, and dangerous teachings connected to Steve and the movement he represents. You can find it at:
https://www.brotherjohnelving.com/oilpatchpulpit

I’m not speaking out of anger. I’m speaking out of pastoral responsibility. The flock of God needs clarity, not confusion. We need Scripture, not showmanship. We need the gospel of Jesus Christ — the one gospel — not a divided, manipulated, experience-driven system that treats emotions and manifestations as evidence of truth. My concern is not just what Steve said on Daystar; it’s the wider foundation of his ministry, which is built on poor exegesis, self-created categories, and a gospel message that does not match the message handed down by Christ and the apostles.

This video is not an attack. It is a warning — a biblical warning — because I care about people who are being influenced by teachings that look exciting on the surface, but lead believers away from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

STEVE HOLMSTROM BUTCHERS THE GOSPEL
A Pastoral Warning About a False Teacher Who Removes Repentance From Salvation

Click for livestream https://www.youtube.com/live/Nz4W4YbOiLk?si=dAxLNtOHG81TZZTA

Steve Holmstrom stood on Daystar and managed to twist the gospel into something so thin and shallow that it barely resembles Christianity. His entire message hinges on one dangerous idea, repeated over and over: you don’t need repentance — just pray a quick prayer and you’re in.

This isn’t bold preaching. This is biblical illiteracy packaged with a smile.

Steve confidently tells the audience that the only thing sending people to hell is a lack of humility, not their sin. That line alone is enough to prove he has no idea what the Bible teaches. Scripture is painfully clear:
“The wages of sin is death.” (Rom. 6:23)
Jesus didn’t hang on a cross because people merely lacked “humility.” He died because the entire human race is guilty of sin and under judgment. Steve removes the very reason the gospel exists.

Then, with even greater confusion, he mocks the idea that repentance matters at all.
He actually says:
“If you had to repent and turn from your sins to get to heaven, most Christians wouldn’t make it… It is that easy.”
This is where you know the man simply does not read his Bible in context. Jesus’ first sermon was:
“Repent and believe the gospel.” (Mark 1:15)
Peter’s first sermon was:
“Repent, and be baptized…” (Acts 2:38)
Paul summarized his own ministry as:
“…repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Acts 20:21)

Yet Steve has somehow concluded he has discovered an easier gospel — one the apostles apparently missed.

And to make matters worse, he builds his entire evangelistic method on two questions and three verses, like a salesman pitching a product. No regeneration, no discipleship, no cross-bearing, no new birth. Just chemistry with your Uber driver and a quick prayer. The fact that he calls this “the simplest thing in the world” only highlights how shallow his understanding of salvation truly is.

The tragic part is that many people listening don’t realize what is happening. Steve sounds passionate, but passion is not truth. He is preaching a repentance-free, conviction-free, transformation-free gospel — a gospel Jesus never preached, the apostles never preached, and the early church never recognized.

When a man has to reduce the gospel down to a formula so quick and easy that repentance becomes an inconvenience, you are no longer hearing the message that saves. You’re hearing a message designed to produce decisions, not disciples.

This is not evangelism.
This is manipulation.
And it is spiritually reckless.

As a minister of the gospel, I’m calling this out plainly:
Any message that removes repentance is a false gospel, and any preacher who undermines it is leading people away from Christ, not toward Him. Steve’s feel-good version of Christianity may sell on Daystar, but it will not stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Somebody sent me this clip last night and asked me to look at it, and boy was I shocked. Dean Briggs actually teaches that getting text messages from God is somehow prophecy. It’s hard to believe I’m even saying that out loud.

Dean doesn’t seems not to have the first concept of what true prophecy is, and he’s teaching full-blown dominionism, plus an alleged King James conspiracy theory, all built on his own private interpretation.

In this video, I walk through Dean’s claims about ekklesia, the King James Bible, and so-called “prophetic” text messages. When we actually look at Scripture, church history, and William Tyndale’s translation long before King James was even alive, everything he says collapses.

We are called to preach the gospel, make disciples, and walk in the Spirit not rewrite church history to fit a political agenda.

I don’t even know how it happened, but I gained about 10–12 pounds over the last few months. Diet changes will sneak up on you fast. I never left the gym, still been working out, but it’s amazing how quickly extra calories can add up.

It’s all good. I’m treating it like 2 pounds a week. I’ll be back in shape by Christmas.

� Amanda Grace’s “Invasive Species” Prophecy And 9-11 Codes – A Biblical Response

If you want to support my outreach and help me stay on the streets, creating content like this and ministering to people who are hurting, you can go here:
� https://www.brotherjohnelving.com/donate

In this video I respond to Amanda Grace’s November 13, 2025 livestream where she connects the government shutdown, 9-11 dates, Gavin Newsom calling Trump an “invasive species,” barred owls, Haman, Absalom, secret codes in sentences, and even a comet in the sky as proof of a prophetic timeline.

I walk through this line by line with an open Bible and show why this is not how New Testament prophecy works, why number games and word-scramble “revelation” are dangerous, and why it is reckless to suggest assassination plots and CIA “spies in the camp” from TV clips and headlines.

We will talk about
• The misuse of Haman, Absalom and Esther
• Turning politics into prophetic numerology
• Calling people “invasive species” and the language of dehumanizing enemies
• How this style of “prophecy” distracts the church from the gospel and real spiritual warfare

I am not attacking people, I am testing teaching. First John 4 tells us to test the spirits. This is a call back to Scripture, sound doctrine, and real discernment in a very confused prophetic movement.

It’s always good to keep a little bit of cash on hand.

Everything going digital sounds convenient, but days like today show how quickly it can become a problem. One outage and suddenly ATB, Tangerine, Meridian, and even RBC cards aren’t working at checkout.

We’ve seen situations where these outages hit during emergencies, and people are stuck with no way to pay. A small amount of cash in your wallet can save you a lot of stress.

In this video I respond to Malachi O’Brien’s completely unbiblical teaching that third-party investigations are “Marxist” and not God’s way of handling abuse in the church. According to him, unless the police are involved everyone should basically stay silent. That’s not discernment, that’s cover-up theology.

The Bible commands truth, justice, and protection for the innocent — not silence and self-policing. Proverbs 18:17, 1 Timothy 5:19-21, and James 2:1-4 all show why impartial witnesses and open correction are right before God. His teaching is a dangerous mix of spiritual manipulation and political talking points meant to protect corrupt systems instead of victims.

We’ll look at the actual timestamps where he attacks investigative reporters, calls them “Marxists,” and tells the church to handle things internally. The arrogance and ignorance on display are unreal. This is how abusers stay protected and survivors get destroyed.

🇨🇦 Remembrance Day 🇨🇦

Today, we honour the men and women who laid down their lives for our freedom. As we wear the poppy and pause in silence, we remember not only their sacrifice but also the One who gave His life to bring us eternal peace.

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13

May we live with gratitude, humility, and faith, remembering that true freedom is found in Christ.

� Robert Henderson’s Judging Doctrine, Fact Checked Parax Demon and Courts of Heaven, Exposed

If you want to support my ministry and these truth videos, here is my donate page:
� https://www.brotherjohnelving.com/donat

I am exposing two things in this video. First, the wild “Parax demon” story that came from a Google search and a Super Mario fan page, not Scripture. No bloodline cleansing, no demon legal rights paperwork, just fear and fantasy. Second, Robert Henderson’s Courts of Heaven teaching from the transcript you heard. He says we step into heaven as judges, render verdicts over culture, and then he asks people to sow a seed to partner. I open the Bible and show why this is not the gospel.

We go line by line. Daniel 7 is about the Ancient of Days and the Son of Man, not me on a spare throne today. 1 Corinthians 2 is spiritual discernment, not me acting like a court judge. 1 Corinthians 5 is church discipline, not a heavenly courtroom ritual. Acts 5 is God judging, not Peter issuing death sentences. Isaiah 11 is about Jesus, not us. The apostles teach repentance, faith, prayer, the armor of God, and testing everything by Scripture.

⚠️ This Might Be the Most Biblically Illiterate Teaching on Prophecy You’ll Ever Hear

In this clip, Marc Brisebois completely reverses what Scripture teaches about testing prophecy. He claims:

“Whether a prophecy comes to pass is not evidence of whether it was from the Lord. It only shows whether you believed enough.”

That’s the exact opposite of what the Bible says. God’s Word is crystal clear:

📖 Deuteronomy 18:21–22 — “When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken.”

The Bible teaches that fulfilled accuracy is the test of a true prophecy, not the faith level of the hearer. To say otherwise shifts blame from the false prophet to the victim, making you responsible when their words fail. That’s manipulation, not revelation.

Marc’s teaching denies basic biblical discernment and promotes a form of self-deception:

He removes all accountability from the prophet.

He contradicts God’s command to test every spirit (1 John 4:1).

He redefines unbelief as the reason false prophecies fail.

This is not faith; it’s spiritual gaslighting.

Don’t let anyone tell you that doubting a failed prophecy is “religious.”

True faith is anchored in truth, not wishful thinking.

✝️ Test everything. Hold fast to what is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

In this video, we examine one of the most shocking confessions in modern prophetic circles.
Brandon Briggs openly admits that he prophesied a major economic collapse that never happened—leading some church members to sell their homes, spend thousands on survival food, and prepare for disaster that never came.

But the story doesn’t end there. When he returned to apologize, the pastor pulled out a huge knife and reminded him that in the Old Testament, false prophets were stoned or cut off.
This moment captures the real-world fallout of failed prophecy—financial loss, emotional breakdowns, and broken trust inside the church.

We’ll look at:

His 2013-2015 “economic crash” prophecy and how it spread.

The silver and dinar investment predictions that failed.

The human cost—families selling homes, friendships lost, and public humiliation.

The pastor’s knife incident and what it symbolized.

A biblical look at accountability, testing prophecy, and healing after deception.

All claims are alleged unless independently verified. Everyone is encouraged to examine Scripture and test every prophecy carefully.
