Episode Highlights
[0:50] Meeting Quintavius Johnson
Quintavius Johnson is a skilled worship and gospel singer.
Quintavius traces his musical beginnings to his family and church, where he sang in the choir, and later joined Team NCM under Nicole C. Mullen’s mentorship.
He shares his pivotal moment at 11, choosing America’s Got Talent over a Belize trip, becoming a finalist and facing the lure of secular success.
Despite giving glory to God on the show, he admits to running from his calling, wanting freedom to chase his own desires while still loving Jesus.
[05:41] God Redeems Quintavius’s Childhood Experiences
Quintavius reveals how international fame from America’s Got Talent was misused for self-interest, a pattern God is now redeeming for His glory.
[5:41] Quintavious: “After I fully submitted to Him, got saved, filled the Holy Ghost again, He now has allowed me to redeem that he is redeemed again. Now I was on the national, international stage, and I am making his name great, and it’s for the purpose of God.”
He opens up about misunderstood spiritual gifts—like seeing visions—initially confusing them for demonic or medium-like experiences due to lack of guidance.
A turning point came when he surrendered fully to Christ, allowing God to refine these gifts for prophetic ministry and deliverance of others.
Reagan connects this to listeners, noting how God’s protection kept Quintavius from darker paths, now using his platform to win souls.
[20:50] Demonic Torment During Early Years
Quintavius claims to have had chilling encounters with demons in elementary and middle school, like beds shaking and hearing hoof-like footsteps, fueling a spirit of fear.
The enemy exploited his ignorance, tormenting him with nightmares and voices urging harm, aiming to silence his future calling.
Quintavius credits the Holy Spirit for guiding him to fast and pray—sometimes for weeks—leading to physical deliverance, like vomiting out demonic influences.
He mentions influential figures like Alexander Pagani and his pastor Shelley Morrison, whose teachings and hugs broke spiritual chains.
Dreams once filled with torment became tools of deliverance as he rejected demonic offers in sleep, waking up free by God’s power.
[32:54] Bringing His Spiritual Gifts to the World Stage
Quintavius reluctantly joined American Idol after receiving persistent invitations. He sang “Alabaster Box” for judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan.
He felt the song was a powerful movement—Katy cried, Lionel claimed he felt God’s presence, and Luke likened it to a baptism—shifting the show’s atmosphere.
Behind the scenes, revival broke out: crew members and contestants got saved, atheists turned to Christ, and the theme changed from gladiators to classmates.
[37:38] Quintavious: “They literally started calling it revival. It was such a revival of the love of God and of the power of the Holy Ghost that people want to get more.”
Quintavious’ performances are on his Instagram, demonstrating how his worship visibly carried the Holy Spirit to impact thousands.
[42:28] God’s Permission, or God’s Plan?
Quintavius reflects on a misstep during American Idol; he chose a song God permitted but didn’t ordain, learning that lawful actions aren’t always in line with God’s wishes.
Despite the permission, not following God’s exact plan halted his progression. He learned to prioritize precise obedience over rationalized choices.
[49:19] Reagan: “God's opening doors, well, why? Because you've been faithful, you've screwed up. He's the God of second chances.”
He shares how God still redeemed this, as a viral “12 Days of Christmas” video in December 2024 brought greater reach than the show, saving lives and opening doors.
[52:53] Staying Faithful to God’s Call Today
Quintavius stresses prayer, fasting, and staying rooted in Scripture to balance his dual presence in gospel and secular spheres, keeping his focus on God’s assignment.
He credits his local church community for grounding him, offering safety in counsel and keeping pride at bay as his influence grows.
[53:31] Quintavious: “I stay faithful to my church community. Having a community around you is important, you know, the multitude of counsel, there is safety.”
His mission bridges worlds, bringing salvation to both gospel artists who don’t live it and secular folks unaware of Jesus, acting as a “secret agent” for the Kingdom.
Quintavius envisions God deepening his intimacy with the Spirit and expanding his ministry globally, not just in industry fame but in soul-winning across nations.
He sees himself growing as a leader in the body of Christ, shaped by ongoing lessons in manhood and stewardship of his gifts.
His local church remains vital, providing covering and training—like casting out demons in outreach—keeping him humble and accountable.
[1:00:49] Encouraging the Lonely
Quintavius encourages trusting God over self, rejecting the lie of isolation. God has a community for everyone.
He advises praying for revelation of that community, warning against the enemy’s tactic to isolate and confuse through lack of guidance.
The body of Christ is collective, not solitary, and finding a church or group stirs gifts and offers support.
Reagan prays for Quintavius, asking for strategic discernment, protection, and boldness to spread the gospel worldwide through his voice.
Quintavius requests prayer to steward his transition well, avoiding procrastination and aligning with God’s will as his influence rises.
