Matthew Stevenson is the lead pastor of All Nations Chicago, a charismatic church that emphasizes the 5-fold ministry.” Stevenson’s bio describes him as a “global influencer, culturalist and visionary, violently raised up by God during this complex moment in history” whose ministry is “earmarked by powerful preaching, bold delivery and unusual supernatural activity.”
Claiming to be “Intensely gifted in the prophetic” whereby “thousands around the world have been dramatically impacted by his very timely, direct, and specific prophetic words,” he reveals he is “an apostolic leader with the Father’s heart entrenched in his life.”
As some have already identified, he’s also preaching and teaching some very, very bad things.
During a Jan 24, 2023 sermon, Stevenson preached the importance of having a robust prayer life, including the need to be in prayer throughout the day, because their lack of prayer reflects their circumstances. He insists a lack of prayer explains why their boss is getting on their nerves, why their child is not acting right, or why their relationship has no peace.
He claims the Lord has revealed to him that some in his congregations are slaves to the booty call, likening it to a demon that must be bound and cast out.
“In the name of Jesus get rid of the booty call!” Come on will you help me real quick?…Slap somebody and say “break the booty call, break the booty call!” I give you permission right now, tell ’em “in the name of Jesus, I take authority over the booty call.”
I know what I heard by the spirit of God, break the booty call!”
I don’t know why I thought of you during this sermon.
What the heck is a “booty call”?
As my Grandpa used to say, “Greatness never announces itself.”
“What the heck is a “booty call”?”
From the Urban Dictionary:
booty call
Someone who you have no emotional attatchment to, who is only used for sexual encounters. A used person.
After the couple broke up, she quickly became his booty call.
Just wow!
This sure is a far cry from the Lutheran Church I grew up in back in the 1950s. Traditional hymns, traditional worship, traditional sermons, Christmas pageants.
Sounds like maybe there’s something wrong with this guy. Sounds like he may be fill of himself.
” Traditional hymns, traditional worship, traditional sermons, “
Notice how many times you said “traditional”. Today’s kids would not understand this. They don’t even understand English for that matter. So I guess the pastor had to put it in Ghetto so they would understand
In stead of “thou shall not commit adultery” it’s “no booty calls” because that is how they get it.
If that’s what he’s preaching against, he’s right to preach against it, although arguably calling it just plain old fornication would have been a better choice of words. Or not, I guess, since he knows his audience better than I.
That guy from Harlem?
See my post 10
Yes. Language, culture, and religion are always evolving. Sometimes good, but often very bad.
Trashy people came up with a garbage religion full of secular nonsense?
No surprise.
When are you going to post positive articles about the Church, and all the good work being done?
Yeah, we were posting at almost the exact same time. GMTA.
“When are you going to post positive articles about the Church, and all the good work being done?”
when the devil stops attacking all these churches.
I don’t see him stopping anytime do you?
The LORD is doing so much good work. It doesn’t get reported.
… someone better!
