“Some of us are just plugged in… but not switched on.”
This wasn’t just a sermon—it was a wake-up call. In a powerful, Spirit-led message, Dr. Johnson takes us back to our first love and urges us to prepare—not just for Sabbath, but for Christ’s return. With passion, wisdom, and deep personal testimony, he reminds us that revival starts with the heart, and reformation starts with obedience.
🧩 In This Message:
A heartfelt story of transformation—from Catholic altar boy and Boston DJ to a man on fire for God.
A breakdown of what it really takes to experience revival and reformation:
-
Prayer – as the answer to every problem and the path to divine wisdom.
-
Bible Study – not just reading, but applying God’s word every day.
-
Fasting – not just abstaining from food, but realigning your life for clarity and connection.
-
Sabbath Keeping – a return to reverence, preparation, and holiness.
A sober analysis of the modern church: from lights and entertainment to watered-down sermons, Dr. Johnson holds nothing back.
A call to rise above distractions—social media, busyness, and complacency—and give God our full attention.
🗣️ Standout Quotes:
“Busy means Being Under Satan’s Yoke.”
“Revival without reformation is just emotionalism.”
“If the devil has the mind, he has the person.”
“We don’t need to just be in church—we need to be in Christ.”
“The enemy is not at the gate—the enemy is already inside.”
🎧 Listen If You’ve Ever:
Felt like church has become a performance instead of a place of transformation.
Found yourself drifting—still plugged into religion but spiritually offline.
Wondered what it means to really keep the Sabbath holy, or how to rekindle your walk with God.
🙏🏾 Final Word:
“God is not looking for performance—He’s calling for repentance. Come back to your first love. Come back to the altar. Come back to Him.”
