About Us

LSJ Ministries was conceived in Apostle Johnson’s heart in 2012 through the Holy Spirit and is now being launched in 2024 under His leadership. In 2012 Holy Spirit instructed her to start two ministries, the first being Women of Power, Prayer, & Presence Fellowship, Inc. in 2013 and LSJ Ministries being the second. Ten years into establishing WOPPPF, Inc., she received the command to establish this ministry for such a time as this in 2024.

Statement Of Faith

The Bible is the infallible word of God, inspired by the Holy spirit, and contains every answer to man’s problems. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:20,21

Our Beliefs

1. We believe in the one and only triune God, the Eternally Self-Existent, “I AM”. The Creator of heaven and earth and Redeemer of mankind manifested.  We acknowledge there is one true God consisting of three distinct persons God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.​

2. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, crucified, died, was buried, and resurrected.  He ascended into Heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and is true God and true man.

3. We believe the Bible is the only infallible Word of God, fully inspired and written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, which governs the standard of living, operations, and beliefs, rule of faith and practice of LSJ Ministries, its directors, officers, staff, employees, volunteers, and partners.

4. We believe in the Bible as the inspired, infallible Word of God, inerrant in the original autographs and the only rule of faith, guide for practice and indisputable and ultimate authority of the Revelation of God, His Will, and His Way.

5. The Bible is the mind of Christ; and is the inspired, the only infallible and authoritative word of God. 6. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, the incarnation of the Father, born of the Virgin Mary by whom all things were created.

7. We believe that all are born sinners, the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, the Lord Jesus Christ paid the price for sin by shedding his precious blood on the cross as the atonement for sin, those who refuse to accept His sacrifice for their sin are eternally lost; and those who repent of their sin and personally accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior receive the forgiveness of sin and life everlasting and are in dwelt by the Holy Spirit.

8. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance, that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are valid and operative today, and that the fruit of the Holy Spirit should be increasingly evident in a Christian’s life.

9. We believe that the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ provides healing for our spirit, soul, and body.

10. We believe that we should obey Jesus’ command to preach the gospel to all the world.

11. We believe that the members of the Body of Christ are the Church and that they should regularly fellowship with one another in a local church setting.

12. We believe in and look for the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

One of her favorite scriptures she stands on and live  is: Psalm 27:4, 8 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple. You have said, seek My face [inquire for and require My presence asyour vital need]. My heart says to You, Your face (Your presence), Lord, will I seek, inquire for, and require [of necessity and on the authority of Your Word].
