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.

Are You Too Blessed to Notice Those in Need?

Episode Overview

Being overly focused on personal blessings can blind you to others' needs.
Wealth is not inherently bad, but it can lead to self-absorption.
True freedom comes from serving and loving others.
Mercy should be extended to those less fortunate.
A spiritual awakening can help you see beyond your own comfort.

“God didn't pile blessings on you so you could tune out pain; He filled you so you'd have something to pour out.”

What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this episode, Bishop Lance Johnson tackles the issue of being so absorbed in our own blessings that we overlook those in need around us. Drawing from the story of the rich man and Lazarus, he highlights how wealth and comfort can blind us to the cries for help from those less fortunate.

With his characteristic blend of humour and sincerity, Bishop Lance challenges listeners to use their blessings to uplift others rather than simply enjoying them for personal gain. He emphasises that being blessed is not about tuning out pain but having something to offer to those who are suffering. Through biblical references and personal reflections, Bishop Lance urges everyone to open their eyes to the needs of others, reminding us that true freedom comes from serving and loving our neighbours.

The episode is a stirring reminder that while we might feel secure in our current state, there’s always room to extend mercy and compassion to those around us. Are you ready to see beyond your own comfort and make a difference in someone else's life?
