Lance Johnson comes by way of a life of struggles having been trapped by the unrelenting grip of alcohol and drug addiction and the desperate life style that comes with it. He brings a fresh word that is woven into the fabric of a life that has known the agony of an empty soul. One early fall day in September of 1990 he had an encounter with the King of Kings that not only changed him but has eternally altered the lives of thousands that now proclaim along with him that “When Jesus sets you free you are completely free”. Pastor Lance now reaches into depths of his experience to deliver a starkly real story of freedom by the power of God. Now he only looks back to encourage those that are lagging behind. He has spent almost a quarter of a century rescuing people from a background of death and ruin and introducing them to a life of prosperity and liberty. Lance has pioneered addiction recovery ministries as well as numerous churches. He has planted bible colleges and overseas mission works, thereby reaching people from every walk of life and social background. He has introduced vast numbers of people to a victorious, overcoming lifestyle. He is currently the founder and Senior Pastor of Relevate Church in Ranger GA. He is also the founder and teacher at Lions Gate Ministry Training Academy.

When you give your life to Christ, something incredible happens. You’re not just reborn, you’re made new in Jesus. And in that miracle, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within you. It’s the Holy Spirit who gives you the power to break addictions, the strength to leave your old life behind, and the grace to walk in obedience each day. You’re no longer fighting alone. And today, Pastor Lance reminds you that because the Holy Spirit lives inside of you, you can do all things through Christ, who strengthens you.

When it comes to our walk with Christ, it’s easy to thank God when life is going well. But have you ever tried to remain humble in the middle of a storm? When things get difficult, have you found the strength on your own to stay calm and steady? True Christian humility isn’t just thanking God in the good times; it’s recognizing that apart from Him, you can do nothing. In today’s message, Pastor Lance encourages you to pursue a humility that honors God…not only when it’s easy, but at all times.

Sometimes in life, it’s easier to fix what’s visible than to address the deeper issues. When it comes to our spiritual lives, it’s no different. We say things like, “I’ll pray about it,” yet we avoid fully committing to God’s Word in obedience. We live for God one day and live for ourselves the other six. That’s why, in today’s message, Pastor Lance challenges us to deal with the root: to surrender to God’s authority, give Him our lives, and allow His Word, not our preferences, to rule our lives.

Have you ever been invited to an event you didn’t really want to attend? Maybe it was a birthday party for a relative, or a concert of a group you didn’t care for. You probably went begrudgingly, knowing you should go. Today, Bishop Lance encourages you NOT to do this with Jesus. You can’t be half-hearted. Jesus wants to change you from the inside out, use you for His purposes, and guide you through this life. But He can’t do it if all you give Him are your Sunday mornings or your every-once-in-a-while prayers.

One of the mysteries of our salvation in Jesus is that we become new creations. The Bible tells us that the old has gone, and the new has come. We can’t earn our way to heaven by what we do. Jesus’ grace and mercy are what save us. Today, Bishop Lance reminds you that merely intellectually knowing Jesus is not enough. You can know who Jesus is, and not commit yourself to a changed life in Him. Instead, you need to recognize that you’re a sinner in need of a Savior. Admit that and be changed!

This life will bring trials and tribulations. Even as children of God, we’re not free from the sin that has a grip on this world. We aren’t immune to the consequences of our own or someone else’s sins. But the difference between believers and non-believers is our foundation in the Word! In today’s message, Bishop Lance encourages you to always return to what you know to be true! Even amid hard things, remember the promises of God and the Holy Spirit who can bring you through anything!

Have you ever started a job that you knew you weren’t qualified for? You interviewed well and figured that with the right training, you would be able to figure it out along the way. That’s similar to the way God calls us. Bishop Lance reminds us today that we’re rarely called because of what we bring to the table. It’s not our intelligence or our extraordinariness. God calls those who are willing and listening. He calls those who take risks in the name of Jesus and those who believe God will equip those He’s called.

When was the last time someone let you down? The unfortunate reality of this world is that when you rely on imperfect people, you are bound to get imperfect results. But Bishop Lance is here today to remind you that there is one person that you can trust with your entire soul. God tells you in His Word that He will never let you down, and He seeks after you like a precious treasure. So instead of putting your trust in humans who will always let you down, why not put your trust in a perfect and loving God?

In this day and age, it’s all too easy to look at the nice possessions that other people have and covet those things for ourselves. We want the nice house, the shiny cars, and the flashy jewelry, but we fail to recognize that God has already provided us with everything we need. In today’s message, Bishop Lance wants to remind you that God’s provision is far greater than anything we can hope for in this world. He has freely given us the gift of grace and the hope of eternal life.

God has given you a divine assignment to spread the Gospel, and it’s not one that you can simply ignore. In today’s message, Bishop Lance teaches you about the parable of the watchful servants and how they were rewarded for being prepared for their master’s return. If Jesus returned to Earth right now, would you be doing His Will? Or would you be chasing after your own desires? Today is an opportunity for you to get right with God and not be caught lacking when He returns to this world.

Have you ever felt the urge to take matters into your own hands because the promise feels delayed? Today, Bishop Lance shows you David surrounded by mighty men who could have ended Absalom in a heartbeat, men who had already slain thousands. Yet, David never lifted a finger against the one threatening his throne. Because he was resting in the God who places kings. David knew the assignment wasn’t his to force; it was God’s to fulfill. The same God who gave the promise is the One who guards it.

Have you ever caught yourself chasing the promise so hard you forgot the One who made it? Today, Bishop Lance shows you David’s secret: he never got drunk on the prophecy that he would be king. He didn’t obsess over the crown, plot against Saul, or try to force the timeline. If he had been married to the prophecy instead of the God who spoke it, Saul would have died by David’s hand years earlier. David waited, served, fled, and worshiped because his heart was locked on God, not the outcome.

Have you ever noticed how stuffed you can feel with what the world offers, and yet still be dying of thirst inside? Today, Bishop Lance points to the heart of the problem: you can be so drunk on money, success, entertainment, and noise that you don’t even feel the desperate desert in your soul. Yet Jesus stands there saying the same thing He said to the woman at the well: if you knew who I am, you’d ask Me, and I’d give you living water that never runs dry. no earning it; just come thirsty and drink.

Have you ever been so wrapped up in your own blessings that you don’t see the person falling apart right in front of you? Today, Bishop Lance asks if it’s possible to feel satisfied, busy, and blessed while stepping over people who are begging for the very help God placed you there to give? The desperate cry you walk past every single day because your hands are full of your own stuff. God didn’t pile blessings on you so you could tune out pain; He filled you so you’d have something to pour out.

We spend our whole lives before Christ in sin…so consequently, we act like the evil and grotesque sin that we commit. In today’s message, Bishop Lance will infer that if we act like sin when we're surrounded by sin, then won’t we act like Jesus when we’re surrounded by Jesus?! The more time you spend with Jesus, the more time you spend reading His Word, the more you will be molded and shaped to look like Him and act like Him! So, go and spend time with Jesus, your Savior, today!!!

Worship is SO much more than just raising our hands and singing on a Sunday Morning. Worship is fully surrendering to the Lord, Sunday through Saturday. Every single day, you have to deny yourself, deny your own wants and even needs, to obey the Lord. In today’s message, Bishop Lance hopes to share some of his passion for real and true worship. Biblical worship is a deep spiritual, mental, and physical surrender! When you surrender, you become a son or daughter of God!

Jesus came to trade places with you. What an incredible, awe-inspiring truth. It’s perplexing that the Son of God – the One who has existed in unity with the Creator of all things – cared enough about the human race to take on a broken body and suffer pain we can’t imagine. As Bishop Lance will challenge us in today’s message, when you experience the freedom Christ offers, it’s not a chore or a burden, but a glorious privilege to walk in His light and pour out your life for Him.

What a challenging truth. All too often, we cling to the promises of God that we’ve twisted and manipulated to fit our agenda, rather than His will and way. In today’s message, Bishop Lance will remind us that the most important thing we can do in this life is to know God. You can know all about Him, memorizing Scripture and reading all the commentaries and spiritual self-help books, but if you don’t know Him, you’re missing the entire point. We’re saved into an intimate relationship, not a religion.

We have one primary assignment. Jesus commissioned His disciples to go into all the world, making disciples and sharing the Gospel. When you accept Him as your Lord and Savior, stepping onto the path right behind Him, you’re taking on that mantle. You are commissioned. As Bishop Lance challenges us in today’s message, we need to get out of the church pew, as wonderful as that spot is, and start carrying the Gospel to the lost, bringing them into the powerful arms of Jesus.

We have a purpose as believers. God designed all of humanity for this purpose. We were made to glorify Him with everything we have, including our time and energy. Far too many of us are just enjoying the benefits of our salvation, while there’s a spiritual battle waging all around us. As Bishop Lance challenges us in today’s message, we need to step into the calling of God on our lives and live as though Jesus could come back tomorrow. The lost around us need to know the truth.
