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.

To pass an exam, especially in higher education, it’s extremely important to know and UNDERSTAND the material. If you memorize the answers, you will never truly learn, and it will affect your education and career. In today’s message, Bishop Lance says that to know the things of God, you should have the Spirit of Him within you. Having the Spirit within you includes a lot more than just believing; it’s completely a...

When signing a contract, it’s normal to anticipate what’s included in it. You know what you’re going to get, so you can’t question it. With God, you have a covenant with Him, so all you can do is trust that He will provide. In today’s message, Bishop Lance says to be aware of what God has prepared for you in life. God wants the best thing possible for you, and even if you don’t know what it is im...

Have you ever tried to have an important conversation while a bunch of noise is going on in the background? People talking, distractions everywhere, constant interruptions, and you realize, you can’t even focus on what matters. So, what do you do? You shut the noise out. Some voices don’t build you, they drain you. Today, Bishop Lance shares that we’re challenged to stop entertaining what pulls us away from life a...

It’s one thing to sit in a waiting room for a routine checkup. It’s another thing when you know someone’s life is on the line. Everything changes. The conversations stop feeling casual. Sometimes, we walk into church like it’s routine, like it’s just another stop in our week. But what if we really saw it for what it is? A place where people are fighting real battles. Today Bishop Lance reminds us that ...

Imagine holding a cup under a faucet that’s barely dripping, you’re waiting, hoping, trying to catch every drop. That’s how a lot of people approach their walk with God, just trying to get a little more, just trying to feel something again. But that’s not the life God designed. In today’s message, Bishop Lance reminds us to stop chasing after signs and start living in a way where His power flows throug...

It’s one thing to look at a map… and it’s another thing to take the journey. You can study every road, every landmark, every turn, but until you step out and go, you don’t really know what it’s like. And sometimes, that’s how we treat our faith. We rely on what others have seen, where others have gone, and what others say about God. Today Bishop Lance challenges us to move beyond secondhand fait...

We live in a world that can often feel chaotic. As Christians, we are called to be in the world, but when we begin to look like the world, we lose our witness. That’s why in today’s message, Pastor Lance reminds us that we are not in this battle alone. Jesus Christ lives in us through the Holy Spirit, who gives us the strength to walk in the world without being consumed by its darkness. It is by the power of the Holy Sp...

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.

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 encoura...

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 th...

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...

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 recog...

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, rememb...

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.

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.

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 h...

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&rsqu...

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, ser...
