John Lanier Ministries

We Believe:

1) The Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God, given to mankind to reveal God's eternal Master Plan and Purposive Will for all creation. The Bible is infallible, authoritative and provides the rules of faith and conduct for Christian living. God's Word is all-sufficient and meets mankind's every need, both spiritually and naturally.
(2nd Timothy 3:16,17 / 1st Thessalonians 2:13 / 2nd Peter 1:21)

2) There is one true God who reveals himself in three manifesations. Out of this one Fountainhead flows a threefold stream of revelation called The Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost.
(Deuteronomy 6:4 / 1st John 5:7 / John 1:1,2 / Isaiah 48:16,17 / John 10:30)

3) In the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in His Sinless Life, in His Miracles, in His Vicarious and atoning Death, in His Bodily Resurrection, in His Ascension to the Right Hand of the Father, in His personal future return to this Earth in Power and Glory to rule a thousand years.
(John 1:1-4 / Ephesians 2:13-18 / Revelation 19 & 20)

4) In Christ's soon return and the rapture of the Bride of Christ.
(1st Thessalonians 4:16,17)

5) In the fall and sinfulness of man and that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.
(Romans 5:12 / Romans 3:23 / Romans 3:10 / Isaiah 53:6 / Romans 6:23 / Hebrews 9:22 / Matthew 26:28 / John 3:17,18 / Ephesians 2:8 / Titus 2:11 / Titus 3:5-7

6) Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal Salvation.
(John 3:5-8 / Titus 3:5)

7) Healing and deliverance were provided for in Jesus Christ's atonement blood and are part of the believer's privileges. Healing and deliverance are not dependent upon man's faith or merit. They are governed by God's mercy and grace toward him.
(Isaiah 53:4,5 / Matthew 8:16,17 / James 5:14-16)

8) Those who confess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are commanded to be baptized in water in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Acts 2:38, 8:12, 9:18, 19:5 / Matthew 28:19,20)

9) The Baptism of the Holy Ghost is available to all believers. The infilling of the Holy Ghost is evidenced by speaking in tongues. This is given to the believer for the purpose of praying and praising God more perfectly. The sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost also empowers the believer to be an effective witness and enables the believer to grow spiritually, to live a holy life.
(Acts 2:4,11,38 / Acts 8:17 / Romans 6:3-14, 8:1-2,11)

10) God has commanded that believers grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. God's Word commands that the believer grow unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Jesus Christ, or unto full spiritual maturity.
(1st Peter 2:1,2 / 2nd Peter 3:18 / Ephesians 4:13,14)

11) The Christian's daily conduct should be above reproach so that he will not bring shame upon the Lord's name and the ministry to which he is called. The word, "holy" means to be separated from all that is unclean and to be consecrated to all that is sacred and pure. God alone is perfect and holy. Man is imperfect and sinful. Therefore, man must become holy by putting off the sins of the flesh and putting on God's righteosuness.
(Hebrews 12:14 / 1st John 2:15-17 / 1st Corinthians 8:9-13 / 2nd Corinthians 7:1 / Romans 6:12,13)

12) The Christian's dress should be modest, conforming to the dress standards set forth in the scriptures.
1st Peter 3:3-5 / 1st Timothy 2:9,10)

13) The Church of Jesus Christ is the universal, spiritual body of believers from every tribe, tongue, kindred and race of peoples, and is indwelt by God through the Holy Spirit and divinely empowered to fulfill ministry and her Great Commission on earth.
(Acts 20:28 / 1st Corinthians 12:27,28)

14) In the resurrection and final judgment of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation.
.(Revelation.20:5,6,11-15)

15) In the new heaven and the new earth, and the holy city of God, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven and filled with the glory of God.
(Revelation 21:1,2)

Bio
John Lanier is an inspiring and anointed man of God known for his dynamic preaching and singing. Since 1989, he has traveled throughout the US and abroad proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ through word and song.

The oldest of four siblings, John Lanier was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. At an early age, he became a Christian and soon after, gospel music became his passion. He began singing in his church, leading the worship with his parents who taught him the importance of spirit-filled ministry.

Following high school graduation in 1983, John worked as a radio personality in Christian broadcasting for several years. John began his singing career in 1989 as a vocalist with the legendary Naomi & The Segos. In 1993, he relocated to Alabama and joined friends Tony Gore and Calvin Thornton to form the new trio, Tony Gore & Majesty. God continued to broaden his territory when John pursued a solo ministry beginning in 1996. Since that time, John has been blessed with opportunities to present the Gospel through television, radio, revivals and crusades, anointed music and the world-wide web.

In Charleston, WV on New Year's Eve, 2004, Tony, John and Calvin reunited for a special 'reunion appearance' of the original Tony Gore & Majesty. The response was immediate and emphatic. The trio came to an agreement and a decision was made. While each would continue their separate careers, a limited number of dates would be scheduled for reunion appearances. Tony Gore & Majesty continues to bless audiences everywhere.

Audio and video combined, John has 24 recordings to his credit, including two of the nationally televised 'Gaither Homecoming' video series. In 1999, John hosted the 'Millennium Tour of the Holy Land', where his performance of the hit song, "Jerusalem" was filmed on location and broadcast in Europe. John is also a featured performer at the annual SGM FanFair and on the Victory Voyage Christian cruise.

John has received multiple top ten and top five nominations for various awards as presented by The Singing News Fan Awards, The SGM Fan Awards and The Diamond Awards. In 2007, the SGM Fan Awards honored John as "Favorite Soloist" as voted by gospel music fans.

In 2006, with Randall Wilds of Wilds & Associates, John created the Christian Voice Magazine and serves as the Executive Editor. The magazine is a monthly music and lifestyle publication that provides Christian music news and articles relevant to the Christian faith.

Premiering on television February 7, 2008, "The John Lanier Show"is John's latest venture. Recorded before a studio audience, The John Lanier Show is a weekly, half-hour variety talk show featuring local and nationally known speakers, musicians, authors, comedians and singers. The new show promises plenty of laughs, spiritual refreshing and music to appeal to all ages.

As a singer, John exuberates the joy of serving Jesus and encourages believers to worship freely, inviting the Holy Spirit to work in their lives. As an evangelist, John's passion is to win the lost to Jesus Christ and to rekindle the fires of revival in the church. The central message is the cross - Christ crucified and resurrected. John Lanier is committed to preaching the truth of God's Word without fear or compromise.

Through God-ordained preaching and singing, John is able to effectively communicate the message of the Gospel. For more than 18 years John has led thousands of people into heartfelt worship through concerts, revivals, crusades and conventions across the US and abroad. Through the outreach of John Lanier Ministries, many people have come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, bodies have been healed, marriages restored and many Christians have been able to grow spiritually and make positive life changing decisions.
