How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? Bishop Lance Johnson brings a powerful message that challenges the very core of one's spiritual journey. In this episode, he questions whether our visions and ministries have become idols, overshadowing our relationship with God. He urges listeners to lay down anything that might come between them and the divine intimacy God desires.
Bishop Lance uses David's story from 1 Samuel 17 as a backdrop, illustrating how true leadership and faith are rooted in humility and a deep connection with God, rather than personal ambition or prophecy. His message is clear: knowing about God is not enough; one must truly know Him to experience genuine revival and fulfilment.
With anecdotes and a touch of humour, Bishop Lance highlights the importance of serving others selflessly, emphasising that true greatness in God's kingdom is found in servitude. He warns against the pitfalls of chasing personal prophecies and visions at the expense of a real relationship with God. The episode is a call to action for anyone feeling lost in their spiritual journey, reminding them that true peace and purpose come from resting in God's promises.
