Bishop Lance Johnson on Spiritual Transformation and Breaking Old Traditions
Episode Overview
True spiritual transformation comes from the Holy Spirit, not personal effort. Outdated religious traditions can hinder genuine faith. The church must move away from superficial practices and embrace authentic spirituality. Repentance is essential for breaking free from old ways. Competitiveness and hypocrisy within religious institutions must be addressed.
Religion is behavioural modification, but true Christianity is spiritual inward transformation that reflects in the fruitfulness of your life.
Bishop Lance Johnson brings a powerful message in this episode of Release the Roar, titled 'Baptism of the Spirit Part 2'. Drawing from his own experiences of overcoming addiction and embracing faith, Bishop Lance offers a thought-provoking look at the nature of spiritual transformation. He emphasises that true change comes from within, through the power of the Holy Spirit, rather than through personal effort or adherence to tradition.
He challenges the old 'wineskin' mentality, where churchgoers cling to outdated practices and gossip, instead of seeking genuine spiritual renewal. Bishop Lance passionately argues that the church must move away from superficial religiosity and embrace a deeper, more authentic faith that focuses on Jesus and the will of God. He calls out the hypocrisy and competitiveness within religious institutions and urges believers to repent and seek true inward transformation.
His message is a wake-up call for those stuck in old ways, encouraging them to allow the Holy Spirit to bring about real change. This episode is not just a sermon; it's a call to action for anyone looking to deepen their faith and live a life truly transformed by the Spirit.
