About this podcast

Lance Johnson Ministries

Relevate Church

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 with two locations in Woodstock GA and Ranger GA. He is also the founder and teacher at Lions Gate Ministry Training Academy.

Understanding the Kingdom of God with Bishop Lance Johnson

Episode Overview

The Kingdom of God is present within you now.
Jesus died to be more than just your Saviour; He wants to be your Lord.
Traditional religious teachings often misinterpret the Bible.
True Christianity involves a spiritual transformation, not just behavioural changes.
A personal relationship with God means walking with Him daily.

“Religion is behavioural modification, but true Christianity is spiritual inward transformation”

Bishop Lance Johnson shares a powerful message in this episode of Release the Roar, titled 'Baptism of the Spirit Part 1'. Drawing from his own journey through addiction and recovery, Lance brings a fresh perspective on the teachings of the Bible, particularly focusing on the concept of the Kingdom of God.

He explains that the Kingdom is not just a future promise but a present reality, urging you to understand that Jesus died not only to forgive your sins but to be the Lord of your life today. Lance dives into the often misunderstood teachings of John the Baptist, clarifying that the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God are one and the same, and that they exist within you right now.

He challenges traditional religious teachings, encouraging a deeper, more personal relationship with God, where daily life reflects His rulership. This episode is filled with compelling anecdotes and bold statements, like Lance’s assertion that 'religion is behavioural modification, but true Christianity is spiritual inward transformation'. If you're looking for a message that challenges conventional beliefs and encourages a transformative walk with God, this episode is a must-listen.
