Lance Johnson Ministries

Lance Johnson Ministries

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.

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 wor...

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 ...

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 t...

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, g...

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...

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 w...

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 en...

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, brin...

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 tomor...

Have you ever come across a door you thought was locked, but when you tried the handle, you found out it was unlocked all along? Well, that’s a lot like the challenges that you will face in this life. Bishop Lance teaches you today about the friends of the crippled man who lowered him down from the ceiling to meet Jesus. While they could have seen the crowd surrounding Jesus and given up on their friend, they acted out of determina...

Faith Part 1

November 22, 2025 • 29 mins
In the book of James, we are told that we do not have things we want or need because we have not asked for those things from God. The truth is that the Lord is a generous God, who wants to bless us, but we first need to have faith that He can and will provide for us. In today’s message, Bishop Lance reminds us that it is that small mustard seed of faith that causes God to move mountains on our behalf. He will give us whatever we ne...

Psalm 27 Part 2

November 15, 2025 • 29 mins
Have you ever been truly thirsty? Have you ever gotten to the point where the only thing you can think of is getting a drink of water? Well, Bishop Lance teaches you today that David longed after the presence of God more than he longed after water to drink. When David fell into sinful ways, it was his fear of being taken out of God’s presence that snapped him out of his evil behavior. But now it’s your turn. What will it take for y...

Psalm 27 Part 1

November 8, 2025 • 29 mins
When we come to the Lord in prayer, are we just asking Him to do things for us? Or are we seeking to spend time in His presence, like a child comes to their father? In today’s message, Bishop Lance is going to teach us about the 27th Psalm, where David is crying out to experience God’s presence. See, we can try to build up big names for ourselves in this world, but those titles and accolades won’t carry over into the next life. We ...

Freedom Friday Part 2

When a follower of Jesus lives a life full of shame and guilt, it’s like driving a car with four flat tires. Sure, you’ll be able to get around eventually, but that vehicle is capable of so much more! In today’s message, Bishop Lance reminds you that when you abide in Christ, you become His co-heir! You don’t have to suffer in guilt and shame, because you have been adopted into God’s family! The sin of your past no longer defines y...

Freedom Friday Part 1

October 25, 2025 • 29 mins
Before Jesus’ death on the cross, it was difficult for man to know God! The priests of Israel had to undergo strict purification rites in order to be worthy to enter into God’s presence. But Bishop Lance reminds you today that you’ve been blessed by the blood of Christ! No longer are you locked out of the throne room of God; you are allowed access into the holiest of holy spaces! You are able to know God personally and intimately, ...

Spirit of the Age Part 3

Reading the words of Jesus in the Bible isn’t enough to get you into heaven. In the Gospels, we see demons recognize His divinity, but that doesn’t mean that they are redeemed! No, you must be pursuing the holiness of Christ, and allowing yourself to be transformed from the inside out by the Holy Spirit. Bishop Lance doesn’t want you to be a lukewarm Christian; he wants you to live a life that is on fire for God! That passion for J...

Being a witness for Jesus doesn’t need an instruction manual. While having instruction and training is useful, your witness is useless if you don’t have the Holy Spirit living inside you. On today’s program, Bishop Lance is going to teach you about the importance of the presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer. Remember that people aren’t drawn to Jesus because of your words, but because of the way the Holy Spirit ...

There is coming a day when you and I will meet with the Lord face to face and be held to account for how we lived our lives. In today’s message, Bishop Lance encourages us to develop our own faith in God and not just rely on what other people tell us to form the basis of our belief. Jesus teaches us that those who build on sandy foundations will see their homes destroyed by the storms and waves, but those who build on the solid roc...

Do you have the confidence in Jesus that Bishop Lance will proclaim in today’s message? If not, you can. It’s not unique because it’s only available to a select few. It is unique in that only a few will choose it, and many will reject it, but that choice is yours to make. It’s a decision that you’ll make on a daily basis. Will you trust in that grace and die to the sinful nature that constantly tries to claw you back into its grip?...

In today’s message, Bishop Lance will remind us of the central mission he’s been called into, along with every other believer in Jesus Christ. That mission is to spread the Gospel of grace to the ends of the earth. If you stick around through today’s message, and you’ve not already decided to believe in that grace and accept it, you’ll be presented with a choice. You can choose to risk spending eternity separated from our loving Cr...
