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, B

Let Go, Grab Hold: Bishop Lance Johnson on Generosity, Destiny and a New Life
Episode Overview
- Knowing what God has prepared for you is key to living for Him instead of drifting through life on circumstances or past patterns.
- Generosity is a lifestyle, not just an offering, and the attitude behind giving can either invite blessing or cancel its reward.
- Letting go of old seasons, family dysfunction and limiting labels is essential if you want to grab hold of the future God has planned.
- Scripture needs to be read in full context; half-quoted verses can create false expectations of God and deep disappointment.
- Walking in the Spirit is meant to be a 24/7 reality, not a brief Sunday experience, shaping how you treat people at work, in shops and at home.
“If you don't know what God has prepared for your life, then you will live for yourself and not for him.”
What can we learn from those who have battled addiction? Bishop Lance Johnson, who knows the “broke, busted, disgusted” life of alcohol and drug addiction first-hand, shares a fiery message about why it matters to know what God has prepared for you. Across this teaching, you’ll hear him challenge the idea that God’s plans are mysterious and unreachable.
He argues that religion often stops at “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard…”, but forgets the next verse where “God has revealed them to us by his Spirit.” His point is simple and sharp: “If you don’t know what God has prepared for your life, then you will live for yourself and not for him.” The episode focuses on living a lifestyle of generosity, not just dropping money in an offering plate.
Lance presses the issue of motive: God isn’t just interested in the act of giving, but in the heart behind it. He warns that resentment and judgement towards those you help can “erase” the reward of generosity and close the door to blessing. He also talks about letting go of old seasons, family patterns and limiting labels – like growing up in poverty, alcoholism or dysfunction – so you can “grab hold” of the future God has written for you.
This includes challenging misquoted verses and teaching people to walk in the Spirit every day, not just visit God during Sunday worship. The tone is bold, direct and often humorous, but it’s aimed at people who feel stuck in cycles of addiction, chaos or scarcity and who are longing for something different.
If you’re tired of living by your past or by what the world dictates, this message pushes you to ask: what has God actually prepared for me, and am I ready to let go so I can grab hold of it?
