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.

🚨 KENNETH COPELAND'S MOST DANGEROUS FALSE TEACHINGS — IN HIS OWN WORDS!

Brothers and sisters, I have been examining several recent broadcasts from Kenneth Copeland Ministries featuring Kenneth Copeland and Greg Stephens, and I am deeply concerned about what is being taught in the name of Jesus Christ.

In this livestream, we are going to examine some shocking statements concerning the identity of Jesus Christ, His finished work on the cross, divine authority, healing, and the Word of Faith prosperity gospel.

Among the teachings we will examine:

🚨 The astonishing suggestion that seeing Kenneth Copeland is like seeing the Lord!

🚨 The teaching that Jesus went to hell to pay the penalty for our sins.

🚨 The claim that believers possess authority extending over the entire cosmos.

🚨 The teaching that Christians can exercise authority to produce physical healing.

🚨 The idea that our spoken words govern our circumstances.

🚨 Financial giving and its supposed connection to receiving a ministry's anointing and spiritual blessings.

These are not minor theological disagreements. Some of these teachings raise serious questions about the identity of Christ, the sufficiency of His sacrifice, and the difference between God's sovereign power and the authority given to believers.

I believe God still heals, that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today, and that we should pray with faith and boldness. But we must never twist Scripture into something God never promised!

Jesus warned us about false prophets and deception. We are commanded to test everything against the Word of God (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

My purpose is not to attack people personally, but to expose teachings that I believe misrepresent Scripture and potentially lead people away from the truth of the gospel.

Open your Bibles, listen carefully to what is actually being said, and examine everything through Scripture.

🚨 DAYSTARS- DAVID CRANK EXPOSED? 9 SERMONS, ZERO REPENTANCE! WHERE IS THE BIBLICAL GOSPEL?
Church, I am deeply troubled by what I have been hearing from Pastor David Crank of Faith Church!

We are living in a generation where churches are becoming entertainment centres, motivational speeches are replacing biblical preaching, and the prosperity gospel continues to deceive countless people!

This pastor literally brought a ROLLER COASTER onto his church stage! But my concern goes far beyond the entertainment. My concern is WHAT IS BEING PREACHED FROM THE PULPIT?

I recently examined nine sermons from Pastor David Crank, preached and published during September and October 2026, and what I discovered should concern every Bible-believing Christian!

🚨 NINE SERMONS! NOT ONE EXPLICIT MENTION OF REPENTANCE!

Let that sink in!

In approximately 61,600 words of transcribed preaching, the preliminary word-frequency investigation found:

❌ ZERO mentions of repentance, repent, repented, or repenting!

❌ ZERO occurrences of the exact word "gospel"!

💰 79 mentions of MONEY!

💰 17 references to tithing and related words!

⚠️ Statements connecting giving and tithing with financial blessings!

⚠️ Declarations about money and never being broke again!

⚠️ Teachings concerning financial prosperity, healing, and speaking declarations over circumstances!

Now, to be fair, David Crank does mention Jesus, sin, the cross, salvation, and even hell in these sermons. I am not suggesting he never mentions these subjects.

But where is the clear biblical call to REPENTANCE AND FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST?

Where is the preaching that confronts sinners with their desperate need for a Saviour?

Where is the warning that without repentance and faith in Christ, people remain lost in their sins?

Jesus Christ did not command us to entertain the world or promise everybody financial success!

He commanded us to PREACH THE GOSPEL!

Jesus said:

"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." — Mark 1:15 (KJV)

And the Apostle Paul declared:

"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent." — Acts 17:30 (KJV)

Church, REPENTANCE IS NOT OPTIONAL!

I spent years of my life trapped in addiction, homelessness, and sin. I know personally what it means to desperately need the saving grace of Jesus Christ!

What I needed wasn't another motivational speaker telling me how successful I could become.

I NEEDED JESUS CHRIST!

I needed forgiveness of sins, repentance, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit!

And my heart breaks when I think about the countless people sitting in churches who may be hearing messages about success, blessings, breakthroughs, and financial increase without clearly understanding the biblical gospel of salvation.

In this livestream, we're going to examine David Crank's actual words, look at the timestamps, open our Bibles, and test these teachings against Scripture.

This is not about personally attacking David Crank. I pray for him, his family, and the people attending Faith Church.

But pastors have a tremendous responsibility before Almighty God, and I believe we must take that responsibility seriously!

People's eternal souls matter far more than church attendance, stage productions, money, or entertainment!

It's time to get back to preaching CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED!

📖 1 Corinthians 15:1–4 | Mark 1:15 | Acts 17:30 | Romans 3:23–26 | Ephesians 2:8–9 | 1 Timothy 6:5–10 | Galatians 3:13

📚 MY BOOK — THE STREET: THE BJE STORY

For those who don't know my testimony, I spent years battling addiction and homelessness before Jesus Christ radically transformed my life.

Today, I continue serving people on the streets, helping those struggling with addiction, visiting hospitals and shelters, and sharing the hope of the gospel.

🚨 TODD BENTLEY CLAIMS 33 PEOPLE RAISED FROM THE DEAD — 22 MEDICALLY VERIFIED BY DOCTORS?!

Join me LIVE as we examine Todd Bentley's extraordinary claims and troubling teachings from his October 28, 2026, School of the Supernatural livestream.

🔥 HERE'S WHAT WE'LL BE EXAMINING:

⏱️ 24:08 — Bentley claims over 85,000 documented healings during the 2008 Lakeland Revival!

⏱️ 34:35 — He claims 33 people were raised from the dead, including 22 allegedly medically verified resuscitations! Where is the independent medical evidence?

⏱️ 35:08 — Bentley teaches that you cannot glorify God without signs, wonders, and miracles! Yet John the Baptist performed no miracles (John 10:41), and Jesus declared that among those born of women, none had arisen greater than John (Matthew 11:11)!

⏱️ 18:28 — Bentley teaches that believers can experience the third heaven daily and even eat from the Tree of Life now!

⏱️ 11:46 — Bentley teaches that Christ's return is being held back until a final revival brings the church into spiritual maturity!

As a biblical continuationist, I firmly believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit continue today. I believe God heals, performs miracles, and moves supernaturally. However, miracles are not the measure of spiritual maturity, nor are they a requirement for glorifying God!

Remember, John the Baptist performed no miracles, yet Jesus spoke of his greatness! Our calling is to glorify Christ through faith, obedience, holiness, love, and the truth of His Word.

If 22 people were medically verified as resuscitated, where are the records? Who were the doctors? And where is the independently verifiable evidence?

📖 TEST ALL THINGS — 1 Thessalonians 5:21

Join me LIVE as we examine these teachings in context and compare them with Scripture.

\

We'll also revisit Art Lucier's controversial prophecy about Todd Bentley receiving a “double portion” at age 50, along with his comparison of Bentley to King David. Was this biblical prophecy or another example of questionable prophetic endorsement within the New Apostolic Reformation?

Today I had the blessing of spending time with my good friend Shawn, a dear brother in Christ. He is going through a difficult season of homelessness, and I’m grateful to continue walking alongside him. My hope and prayer is that he will soon find safe, permanent housing.

We sat indoors over a fresh coffee and spent some time catching up. I was also able to buy him a sleeping bag and a pair of socks to help with the colder days ahead.

These moments remind me that ministry often happens in simple ways—sitting beside someone, listening, and reminding them they are loved. Behind every struggle is a person precious to God, with a story, a name, and a life that matters.

Thank you to everyone who supports this outreach through prayer and giving. Your kindness helps provide warm meals, fresh socks, sleeping bags, and opportunities to share the love of Jesus in both word and deed.

Please keep Shawn in your prayers—for a permanent place to call home, renewed strength, and encouragement as he takes the next steps in his journey.

COME TO THE TABLE — For Men Like Hawking!

Every person who walks through our doors carries a story. A story of struggles, brokenness, and choices that have led them to a place where something needs to change.

But their story doesn't have to end there.

For Hawking, the journey of recovery has become a journey of faith, surrender, and discovering the strength that comes from God's Word.

This is why we do what we do.

Because recovery is about more than leaving addiction behind. It's about discovering a new way to live, finding purpose, rebuilding hope, and learning to walk in the freedom that only Christ can give.

For men like Hawking, every day is an opportunity to grow stronger in faith, make different choices, and build a future filled with hope.

And YOU can be part of stories like his.

On November 7th, we invite you to COME TO THE TABLE, our Fall Fundraising Banquet in the Lower Mainland.

Come hear the powerful testimonies of men and women whose lives are being transformed through faith and recovery. Come celebrate the victories, the courage to change, and the incredible work God is doing in their lives. And come help make that same opportunity possible for the next man who walks through our doors searching for hope.

🚨 MIKE MURDOCK Word of Faith teacher IN SEVERE PAIN! Benny Hinn & the Prosperity Gospel Under Fire

On October 28, 2026, Dr. Mike Murdock publicly pleaded for prayer, describing what he says is the worst pain of his 80 years of life.

I want to make something absolutely clear: I do not hate Mike Murdock. I pray God will be done in his life.

However, that does not mean we should ignore decades of deeply troubling prosperity gospel teachings.

In this video, we examine Mike Murdock and Benny Hinn, two of the most prominent figures associated with the Word of Faith and prosperity gospel movements.

Together, these men have promoted teachings about financial seeds, supernatural harvests, miracles, healing, and prosperity that I believe represent some of the most extreme distortions of biblical Christianity.

Murdock has publicly encouraged people to sow $1,000 financial seeds while speaking about supernatural miracles, deliverance from addiction, financial breakthroughs, and extraordinary blessings. In a broadcast with Benny Hinn, the two discussed sowing financial seeds for desired results.

Now, as Murdock publicly describes his own severe suffering, important questions deserve to be asked.

Can God's healing power be purchased through financial giving?

Does the Bible teach that sowing $1,000 unlocks supernatural miracles?

What happens when those who preach these principles experience serious sickness and suffering themselves?

I believe in divine healing. I believe God still performs miracles today. But I reject the dangerous idea that God's power can be obtained through financial transactions.

The Bible warns us in 1 Timothy 6:10 that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

Millions of dollars have flowed through prosperity ministries over the decades, while countless Christians have been encouraged to give sacrificially in expectation of supernatural financial and spiritual returns.

My concern is not simply about money. It is about the gospel of Jesus Christ, the vulnerable people who may be influenced by these teachings, and the importance of biblical truth.

This video is presented for Christian theological commentary, criticism, and biblical discernment. My concerns relate to publicly available teachings and statements, not personal hatred. Murdock's current medical condition is not fully known, and his suffering should never be mocked or treated as proof of God's judgment.

Please examine the original recordings, compare these teachings with Scripture, and make up your own mind.

It was a blessing spending time with my friend Sean in South Surrey today!

We enjoyed some fellowship, shared a meal, and spent time together in prayer. I was also able to bless him with a new sleeping bag and some fresh socks.

Sean is a wonderful guy, and I ask that you please keep him in your prayers. He has so much potential, and I believe God has a purpose and plan for his life.

Every day, I have the privilege of ministering to people like Sean, offering encouragement, prayer, practical help, and most importantly, reminding them of the love of Jesus Christ. Every life is precious, and nobody should ever feel forgotten or without hope.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who supports my ministry outreach. Your kindness and generosity help me continue reaching people who are struggling with homelessness, addiction, and difficult circumstances. Thank you for being part of this work!

If you’d like to read my personal testimony of how Jesus Christ delivered me from addiction and homelessness, my book THE STREET: The BJE Story is available as a FREE download on my website.
