😁 I’m excited to share some big news today. I sent the rough draft of my book to an editor who has graciously agreed to help me shape it into a proper book.

This project means so much to me, and I’m thankful for your prayers. Even right now, if you could take a moment to pray that God would guide this accomplished author to capture my story in a way that encourages people who may be struggling with addiction, I would deeply appreciate it.

If you’d like more information about the book and my testimony, I’ve created a page with videos and details here:

� Paula White Praises Moonie Cult Leader Now Arrested for Bribery

� If you struggle with addiction, this is my website, free resource http://www.brotherjohnelving.com

Big news out of South Korea this week. Han Hak-ja, also known as “Mother Moon,” the 82-year-old leader of the Unification Church, has been arrested on bribery charges. Prosecutors say she told church officials to bribe the wife of impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol and a lawmaker. A judge approved her arrest because she might destroy evidence. This is the same cult started by Sun Myung Moon, who called himself a messiah, twisted the Bible, and built a huge empire through arranged marriages, money schemes, and political power. Japan already moved to dissolve the church after Shinzo Abe’s assassination was tied to Moonie donations. Now the group is falling apart under scandal.

Here’s where Paula White comes in. On December 5, 2021, Donald Trump’s “spiritual advisor” stood on stage in South Korea at a Unification Church prayer rally. She praised Han Hak-ja, saying, “I want to take a moment and honor, as well as encourage, Mother Moon for her great work as a spiritual leader who loves the LORD … She is truly a jewel from God.” That’s not just bad judgment—it’s calling the widow of a false messiah “a jewel from God.”

This rally wasn’t innocent. It included a “Holy Water” ritual invented by Sun Myung Moon in 1985. He taught that by drinking this water, people could be spiritually cleansed and made acceptable to God. He also taught that Jesus never became a “True Parent,” but he and his wife had completed that role themselves. He even bragged that God was “intoxicated” with him and let him do whatever he wanted. This is open blasphemy. Yet Paula White praised this movement and its leader.

Why would she do this? Some say she may have been paid. Others think she wanted to look like a global peace leader by supporting Korean unification. Or maybe she just doesn’t see a problem with Unification theology. Whatever the reason, she gave credibility to a cult that denies Jesus Christ.

The Bible warns in Galatians 1:8, “Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse.” The Unification Church preaches another gospel. And Paula White’s decision to honor its leader shows her lack of discernment.

Now Han Hak-ja sits in jail. The cult she leads is crumbling. And Paula White, who once called her “a jewel from God,” is exposed for what she truly is: a false teacher willing to honor a false messiah for power and influence.

This is why Christians need discernment. Not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” speaks for Jesus. Paula White has traded the gospel for politics and fame, and her praise of this cult leader proves it.

Final Chapter – A Living Testimony - (rough copy)

I was once the man who ate out of dumpsters, who wandered the streets addicted, broken, and without hope. My life was consumed by drugs, crime, and despair. I had lost my family, my dignity, and nearly my life more than once. There were nights when I lay in hospital beds hooked up to machines, convinced my story was finished. Yet the mercy of God reached into the darkest places and pulled me out.

Day by day, the Lord began to rebuild me. He restored my relationship with my daughters, healed my body, and lifted me out of depression and su***de into a new life of hope. What once looked like an ending became a beginning.

The same streets where I injected drugs became the streets where I prayed with the homeless, carried Narcan to the overdosing, and sat beside the forgotten to remind them they were loved. This testimony is not only a record of where I have been, but proof that no pit is too bottomless for God’s hand to reach and no sinner is beyond the power of His grace.

But my story is more than personal; it is also a call to awareness. We are living in the middle of an opioid crisis that is devastating families and communities across the world. Every week I still meet people who are fighting for their lives, just as I once was. Addiction is claiming sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, every single day. If my testimony reveals anything, it is that there is hope even in the darkest places. Narcan can save a life, but only Jesus Christ can truly save and change a life.

My prayer is that the church would rise, not only with compassion and practical help, but with the boldness to preach the gospel that truly sets captives free.

In 2025, God gave me the privilege of returning to Mexico twice in one year, ministering to pastors, leaders, and hundreds of men and women struggling with addiction in Mexico City and the state of Sinaloa. I shared my testimony in churches, at interventions, and in recovery centers, and was welcomed as an international minister.

At the same time, my local ministry has grown with countless testimonies of God’s saving power: people delivered from addiction, families restored, the homeless finding housing, and lives transformed by the gospel. Over these last seven years of street outreach, I have witnessed tremendous miracles of grace and power that only Jesus could do.

Through the online side of my ministry, God has multiplied my influence far beyond what I ever imagined. Millions of people have viewed my videos, and tens of thousands follow my work on YouTube and social media. Every week, people tune in to hear the message God has placed on my heart, sending words of encouragement that strengthen me in my own journey.

Because of this global reach, I am now able to support other ministries financially, operate two ministry outreach vehicles, and continue to expand the work God has called me to. I am humbled by the monthly supporters who stand with me as I reach not only my local community, but people around the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

And today, I have more hope for the church than I have ever had before. Many churches are now opening their doors to me, welcoming my ministry both locally and internationally. I have been given opportunities to share in men’s groups, faith gatherings, and church pulpits—always calling people to repentance and pointing them back to the cross. For every false prophet I have exposed, I have also met faithful pastors, servants, and believers quietly laboring for the kingdom. They are the living proof that God’s church is alive and well.

As you close these pages, I want to pray over you. My prayer is that the same Jesus who rescued me from addiction, despair, and hopelessness would meet you right where you are. May He heal the broken places in your life, restore your family, and give you a hope that never fades. May you walk in the abundant life He promised, full of joy, freedom, and peace.

To my daughters, my family, and the many faithful friends and pastors who have stood with me, thank you. Your encouragement, prayers, and belief in what God has called me to do have carried me further than I ever imagined. I could not have walked this road without you.

And to you, the reader: this story is not just about me. It is a testimony of what God can do in anyone’s life. If my journey has touched your heart, I invite you to stay connected.

Visit me online at http://www.brotherjohnelving.com and follow along on YouTube and social media, where I continue to share testimonies, expose deception, and point people to the true gospel.

Together, let us believe for greater things, and let us walk one day at a time by the grace of God.

Brother John Elving

Looking forward, my greatest desire and prayer is to see a rehabilitation center established on Vancouver Island for men, women, and children. I would call it The 10:10 Home, a place where families can be restored, where men walk with men and women walk with women, rebuilding lives with dignity and hope. The vision is simple: to create a safe, faith-filled space where parents can reconnect with their children and discover the abundant life Jesus promised.

For the enemy came to steal, kill, and destroy—but Jesus came that we might have life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).

� For more information exposing the false gospel of Steven Holstrom (aka Oilpatch Pulpit), I’ve launched a new tab on my website. I’m documenting his pattern of twisting Scripture, preaching another gospel, and leading believers into error.

� Check it out here: https://www.brotherjohnelving.com/oilpatchpulpit

Steve Holstrom is twisting John 3:36 and lying to Canadians. In his teaching, he says Christians can “believe in Jesus and go to heaven” but still live under what he calls a “gentler wrath” if they don’t obey enough. He even claims the Greek word for “wrath” means God is “constitutionally opposed” to believers. That is made up. It’s not in the Bible.

The Greek word in John 3:36 is ὀργή (orgē). You can look it up for yourself in Strong’s Concordance. CLICK https://biblehub.com/greek/3709.htm

John 3:36 uses the Greek word ὀργή (orgē) for “wrath.”
Bible Hub

Revelation 6:16 – “…hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath (orgē) of the Lamb.”

Revelation 6:17 – “For the great day of their wrath (orgē) has come, and who can stand?”

Revelation 11:18 – “The nations raged, but your wrath (orgē) came…”

Revelation 14:10 – “…the cup of his wrath (orgē).”

Revelation 16:19 – “…the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath (orgē).”

Revelation 19:15 – “…he will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath (orgē) of God Almighty.”

It always means wrath, anger, indignation, vengeance, or punishment. This is the same word used in Revelation to describe the eternal wrath of God. There is no “wrath-lite.” There is no “gentler wrath.” Steve invented that idea to back up his false gospel.

The Bible is clear: every New Testament use of orgē speaks of God’s settled, holy wrath against sin (Romans 1:18, Romans 5:9, Revelation 14:10). And the good news is that believers in Christ are saved from that wrath, not placed under a softer version of it. Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Hebrews 12 speaks of discipline for God’s children, not wrath. Wrath and discipline are not the same thing.

This is another gospel. It’s performance-based, like Mormonism or the Galatian heresy, and it guts the grace of Christ. Jesus + obedience for blessing is not the gospel. The true gospel is that by grace, through faith in Christ alone, we are saved, forgiven, transferred into the kingdom, and set free from God’s wrath. Anything else is false teaching.

Rejection by the church, yet miracles in the streets

Stories of redemption, resilience, and the power of Jesus Christ

✍️ Qualifications (Most Important):

Must be a committed Christian ghostwriter

Experienced in editing, storytelling, and faith-based writing

Able to help condense and refine my manuscript while keeping it authentic

If you are a Christian ghostwriter—or know someone who is—please connect with me. This project is about more than a book; it’s about spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and shining a light in the darkest places.

On Daystar’s Joni Table Talk, Jesse Duplantis tells the story of his 1988 “trip to heaven.” He says he was taken up by an angel, met biblical figures, and received a personal message from Jesus. In his own words, Jesse claims, “I knew he was Abraham… I knew who he was immediately… ‘Hello Jesse.’” He describes Abraham giving him a drink from the river, Jonah admitting his disobedience, King David talking about music, Moses seen from a distance, and even visiting the apostle Paul’s “house.” He says children ran ahead shouting “He’s coming, He’s coming!” before Jesus appeared and told him, “Go tell my people I’m coming.”

The problem is Jesse’s details about Abraham and others don’t stay consistent. In other versions of this story he says he didn’t know who Abraham was until Abraham told him his name. That kind of flip-flop makes the whole testimony unreliable. If the eyewitness details shift, how can we trust the supernatural claim?

Outside of Daystar, Jesse takes things further with troubling theology. In one message he says, “Angels… they work for me… and you are me.” That is classic “little gods” language, confusing the difference between Creator and creature. It is not what the Bible teaches about our relationship with God.

And in separate fundraising clips, Jesse promises salvation for cash. “You give me $1,000 and I’ll have a thousand new people in the Kingdom by Friday.” He even prays, “Lord, give me a soul for every dollar that’s in that bucket.” This is nothing short of selling salvation, turning the Gospel into a dollar-for-soul scheme.

When you put it all together—the contradictions in the story, the “you are me” theology, and the $1-per-soul pitch—you don’t get biblical Christianity. You get performance religion, prosperity salesmanship, and heresy dressed up as revelation.

� Dennis Wiedrick Katie Wiedrick Steve Holmstrom (Oil Patch Pulpit): A False Gospel in Canada

� For a full breakdown and documentation of Steve Holmstrom’s errors, visit my website: http://www.brotherjohnelving.com/oilpatchpulpit

This video exposes Dennis Wadrick, a so-called “apostolic father,” who openly twists the Bible into private interpretation. In his teaching on the “gospel of salvation” versus the “gospel of the kingdom,” he creates a two-tier gospel that Scripture never supports. God’s Word declares there is one gospel (Galatians 1:8–9), not one gospel for heaven and another for life on earth. This kind of distortion undermines the finished work of Christ and replaces it with man-made ideas.

The danger is multiplied because Dennis and his wife Katie are the spiritual parents of Steve Holmstrom, the man behind Oil Patch Pulpit. Steve has openly stated that he has drawn his entire theology from them. This should alarm Canadians, because Holmstrom has no statement of faith on his website and continues to spread teachings without biblical accountability. If you trace the roots, you find that Holmstrom has also embraced elements of the William Branham movement and the broader Branhamite cult, which has always been rejected as heretical by the historic church. False roots always produce false fruit.

Katie Wadrick herself has promoted dangerous doctrines, including the teaching that we all existed in heaven before birth, that the “I AM” is inside everyone, and that every person carries a hidden “God spark.” This is not biblical Christianity. The Bible teaches that only God is eternal (Psalm 90:2), that humans are created (Genesis 1:27), and that Jesus alone bears the divine name “I AM” (John 8:58). By pushing pre-existence and New Age-style identity teaching, Katie and Dennis Wadrick are leading people away from Christ and into confusion.

Steve Holmstrom has built his ministry directly on these teachings. Without a statement of faith or biblical clarity, he has positioned himself as a prophetic voice in Canada while feeding people Branham-influenced theology and the private revelations of his spiritual parents. This is why it is so important to test every spirit and compare every teaching with the Word of God (1 John 4:1). If the roots are poisoned, the fruit cannot be healthy.
