PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, LOVE THAT CROSS: THE WAY HOME

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST:  HOME

Imagine growing up knowing that you would die to save the world.  Your entire life would be devoted to the singular goal of giving your life as a sacrifice so that all would have the opportunity to live.  In this day, it sounds almost like fictional super hero characters seen on film and in science fiction stories.  The thing is, that very story is true and it is written about and spoken of over and over again for over two thousand years.  Pastor John Collins, evangelist and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries, tells us the truth of the Gospel in sermons and daily devotionals.  The way to get back home to heaven is to turn to Jesus Christ, the Son of God who came to this world and left  His heavenly home, to save our souls by giving His earthly life as a sacrifice for God for us so that we can live eternally.  Our souls are what live on after we die here on earth and leave these fleshly bodies behind.  Eternity is forever, and what we do here during our lives will determine whether we get to go home to our Creator, our Father, or whether we spend our eternity in misery and pain that we cannot imagine.  Jesus Christ is the only way to get back to God and to get back home.

“God has always done things to reach us and has always provided a way home. God has given us His Son and we should take note of the character of Jesus so that we can learn from Him. Jesus pleased God in every way and we should seek to do the same. It is possible for us to have the commitment to God that Jesus displayed by choosing to follow our Lord.” ~ Pastor John Collins (February, 2018).

Pastor John Collins is a nationally and world known evangelist and is the head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries and John Collins Ministries.  It is Pastor John Collins’ lifelong commitment to bring the Word of God back to all of us in the world, to teach salvation, and to redeem the Gospel of Jesus Christ that has been so watered down and manipulated by man to suit man’s needs for over two thousand years.  Pastor John Collins preaches it like it is, getting to the point of the truth of the word in a straight forward and understandable manner.  Pastor John Collins writes and preaches from the heart:  what Pastor John Collins says is from God, not a prewritten, preconceived sermon that is read over and over again.  Beginning in Wyoming, Pastor John Collins started a revival of the Gospel, redeeming the Holy Bible so that we can understand the truth of the Word for our salvation.

Pastor John  Collins writes:

“ ‘Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. ‘Father, glorify Your name.’ Then a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.’ Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, ‘An angel has spoken to Him.’ Jesus answered and said, ‘This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.’” John 12:27-30 (NKJV).

Jesus grew up knowing the duty and responsibilities that He had been given. He knew what would come and He lived with an awareness of what was to be gained. He did not live with His own needs and wants but with those of His Father’s. Jesus was driven to give as He had always seen God give.

It is so clear that Jesus wanted those He encountered to understand the gifts that came from the Father. He wanted them to know that God was reaching out to them. He often pointed out that certain things were done for the benefit of others. Jesus did not need the reassurances that we need and did not lack the understanding that we do.

I believe that we often take too much of life for granted. We should slow down and look up. We should stop in our tracks and pray. Jesus was mindful of God always and was mindful of His impact on our souls. Jesus cares for us and wanted only the best for those that He ministered to. His life was full of determination for all of the right things. We have so much to learn from Him and we have so much be thankful for.

If there is one thing that you can do for yourself in your daily lives, it is to take the time to connect with the Lord. You should be seeking the opportunities to quiet your lives and to become more aware of God. You should think about what you have done in your life and what you want to do. But do this according to the gospel of Christ and see where that takes you.

God has always done things to reach us and has always provided a way home. God has given us His Son and we should take note of the character of Jesus so that we can learn from Him. Jesus pleased God in every way and we should seek to do the same. It is possible for us to have the commitment to God that Jesus displayed by choosing to follow our Lord.

Let us be aware of the efforts of God and Jesus and let us respond to their love. Let us be honest with ourselves in our lives and be willing to sacrifice for our eternal souls. Let us become more faithful people who choose to pay attention to the things that are above over the things of this earth. Let us praise God for His consideration and selfless love.

“’Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.’” John 12:31-32 (NKJV).

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, LOVE THAT CROSS: EASTER WEEK THOUGHTS

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST:  THE "MYTH" OF JESUS CHRIST

Courtesy of Google images

This week is traditionally recognized as Holy Week, Christians around the world reflect upon the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.  Jews will begin the celebration of Passover at sundown on Friday.  Easter for most Christians is recognized as the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.  Without Easter, or Resurrection Day, Christmas is pointless.  In a recent broadcast, Pastor John Collins, evangelist and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries, reflected that a survey of 10,000 people revealed that at least 58% of those surveyed believe that Jesus Christ and His story is a myth. The “myth” of Jesus Christ living and dying is written in the Holy Bible, for Christians, that is enough.  However, for those who question the validity of Jesus, there are other separate and distinct documentations of Jesus Christ written by the Romans very accurately:  Romans kept detailed documentation of political issues within the Roman Empire.  Also, a man known as Josephus, or Flavius Josephus, wrote a detailed and documented text about the history of the Jews which includes validation of the life of Jesus Christ.  Jesus is not a myth.  As Pastor John Collins succinctly put it, Jesus died, Mohammed died, Buddha died, Confucius died, John Smith died….they all died.  The ONLY one who rose from the dead is Jesus Christ.  The impact of Jesus Christ continues to spread more than 2000 years later, however, those of us privileged to live in the United States have degraded the lessons He taught and twisted them to what people want to hear.  We kicked God out of government, out of family, out of school, and out of church, and wonder why we have greater issues now in our society than ever before. 

“Jesus came to this world and from His earliest age was doing the work of His Father. Jesus concerned Himself with His people, His land and the salvation of this world. Jesus taught others and took the time to heal others and be kind. Jesus is perfect and yet He suffered for you. Jesus was ridiculed and mocked, beaten and hung on a cross to die. For you.”  Pastor John Collins (March, 2018).

Pastor John Collins is an evangelist and the head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries and John Collins Ministries.  Pastor John Collins has been redeeming the Gospel of Jesus Christ for more than 10 years, more recently as a revival of hope and faith across the United States.  With a style similar to the late Billy Graham, Pastor John Collins preaches in a manner that is easy to understand and relate to, reaching into the hearts of those who hear him and helping us to understand what it is in ourselves that needs to change so that we can make it home to heaven, God and Jesus Christ.  Pastor John Collins does not pull back and tell us what we want to hear from a pulpit.  Pastor John Collins tells us what we need to hear, what we need to know about the truth of Jesus Christ and what we need to do to gain salvation.  Pastor John Collins emphasizes that being Christian isn’t just showing up for church on a Sunday, it is what we do-our actions-between the times that we go to church. Just because we go to church does not mean that we are Christian.  Being Christian means we believe in the Gospel that Jesus Christ taught and we work every day to become Christ-like and please God.

 

Pastor John Collins writes in daily devotions:

Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.  But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53: 4-6 (NKJV).

This world is not innocent. So, why do so many take things so personally and get so offended by the grief that comes with life? Why do so many place the blame squarely upon the shoulders of God? What is wrong with sorrow and grief? It teaches you to appreciate the joy and hope. What is wrong with sickness and death? It teaches you that there are seasons to life and health is not a guarantee. What is wrong with loss? It teaches you to appreciate what you have. There is beauty and wonder that we have feelings at all. Life is precious and filled with the ability to emotionally connect with others and death is filled with hope because Jesus has made it possible for you to continue loving those that you love.

People want to feel wounded and offended that they have suffered in this life and they want someone to blame and want to complain about it all, to be the victim. There are victims in this life and there are terrible things that happen but that is part of living among others who have the same opportunity as you have and that is free will. There are bad people in this world and there is evil in this world and that is something that we all have to deal with for now. It doesn’t mean that anyone has the right to blame God or to sit on the pity pot because as long as there is breath in your body, there is hope for salvation and you will not be gaining salvation while there is resentment for God and bitterness toward Him because you find your sufferings too big to accept.

Jesus did not grow old. Jesus did not get gray hair and lose His eyesight. Jesus did not raise a family and rock His child to sleep. Jesus did not take vacations and travel around the world to see different places. Jesus did not have the luxury of a long life. Jesus came to this world and from His earliest age was doing the work of His Father. Jesus concerned Himself with His people, His land and the salvation of this world. Jesus taught others and took the time to heal others and be kind. Jesus is perfect and yet He suffered for you. Jesus was ridiculed and mocked, beaten and hung on a cross to die. For you.

This is not a fairy tale that you have outgrown. This happened. Jesus is not just some man that lived long ago. Jesus is the Son of God and your Savior. Think about just how much you do have to be thankful for this week. As you make your plans to gather together for a meal and rejoicing, think about the times that Jesus gathered with His people for a meal. Jesus always was thinking of others, the salvation of souls. In the end that is what counts because the soul is eternal and we should all be thinking in that manner, maybe then awareness of the enormity of the gift that Christ has made possible for us all would truly sink in and gratefulness, the kind that produces life, would follow.

“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My body.’ then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until the day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.’” Matthew 26: 26-29 (NKJV).

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, LOVE THAT CROSS MINISTRIES: DESPAIR

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, LOVE THAT CROSS: COPING WITH DESPAIR

How many of us have not felt despair?  Things happen in this life we live here that are sad, dark, scary, ugly and leave us feeling like we want to curl into a fetal position and just stay there.  That darkness is of Satan and it is meant for us to become separated from God who loves us.  It gives that evil being pleasure to know he can torture God’s creations.  We know pain because it’s part of this world, says Pastor John Collins in today’s daily devotional.  So many of us do not know how to handle the pain because society has driven God from church, family, and home.  There is an epidemic of narcotic and opioid use that is out of control.  Alcoholism destroys families and individuals.  The agony of this life is overwhelming at times and we simply are at a loss to understand how to cope.  The answer is faith.  Believing in something that we cannot see is discouraging if we don’t have immediate positive feedback.  The false hope that is often preached by those who only want to line their own pockets through snake oil style methods is sadly the most prevalent voices we hear from the pulpit and the media.  Faith in God, faith in Jesus is what will pull us through the shadows of fear and darkness.  It is the only way. 

“We need to choose to not allow pain to overwhelm us when we will be confronted with pain every day, whether or not that pain is our own personally or collectively. You see, when there is hurt in this world we need to make an even greater effort to love more. The more that we can genuinely love, beginning with loving God, who in turn allows us to love ourselves, not selfishly but with compassion and the ability to forgive ourselves so that we don’t go on punishing ourselves for past mistakes, bad choices or tragedies that we internalize and take on guilt for and that allows us to be able to love others with sincerity and truth.” Pastor John Collins (January, 2018).

Pastor John Collins, evangelist and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries and John Collins Ministries, does not and never has preached false hope.  Pastor John Collins preaches truth.  It has gotten to the point that the Gospel of Jesus Christ now needs to be redeemed because those in the pulpit over the past two thousand plus years have watered it down and turned it into something to serve man, not God and His Son, Jesus Christ.  Pastor John Collins redeems that Gospel, telling it like it is so that we can learn what each of us needs to do to get back to God.  Hope will come from faith, and as Pastor John Collins continues to preach, faith as small as mustard seed can move mountains.  God will take that tiny bit of faith in us and teach us lovingly to become strong and overcome the agony that we endure here in this world. 

Pastor John Collins writes:

“Cursed be the day in which I was born! Let the day not be blessed in which my mother bore me!” Jeremiah 20:14 (NKJV).

Who has not felt despair pulling on their world that seems to outweigh any hope that may exist? This life is full of ugly truths and disappointing days that will rip your heart out if you let it. There are valleys and shadows of a darkness that is uncompromising. People who find themselves at low points may turn to substances, whether prescription or illegal or over the counter in order to dull their pain and put off the agony of reality. It is at these low times when you feel as though you have nothing to hang on to, nothing to live for and nothing to pull you out of the darkness that faith is most important. For some, it is these dark spaces that create faith and for others it is the place that creates the doubt that challenges one’s faith. Sometimes it is hard to hold on to what you cannot see.

The human spirit is amazingly resilient. We are tougher than we realize. The truth is that there will come a time or many times in a person’s life that will leave you low and wanting to curse not only the world but your place in it. We are created with a great capacity to feel great emotions both high and low and we are capable of great compassion for each other and need to find the ability to have compassion for ourselves, not in any superficial or selfish way but in a way that allows us to let God into our hearts in order to be healed by Him. We need to choose to not allow pain to overwhelm us when we will be confronted with pain every day, whether or not that pain is our own personally or collectively. You see, when there is hurt in this world we need to make an even greater effort to love more. The more that we can genuinely love, beginning with loving God, who in turn allows us to love ourselves, not selfishly but with compassion and the ability to forgive ourselves so that we don’t go on punishing ourselves for past mistakes, bad choices or tragedies that we internalize and take on guilt for and that allows us to be able to love others with sincerity and truth. We have to be able to see the big picture as well as the little picture at the same time. Not only do we need to realize that God does have a plan and that He has not forgotten us nor forsaken us but know your life matters, what you do and who you love matters and that love needs to allow for forgiveness, acceptance and hope to shine through the darkness.

If you have not experienced pain of the soul that sucks the breath right out of you then you have not lived. If you have not stood back and felt awe for the world we live in then you have not awakened to the truth of God. The entire human experience will bring both despair and joy beyond imagination and knowing both allows you to be a better person and a person of compassion and truth. God is good and will not leave you alone. Do not grow bitter for having known the darkness because without it you could not appreciate the light.

“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassion's fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, therefore I hope in Him!’” Lamentations 3:22-24 (NKJV).

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, LOVE THAT CROSS: HOPE

Pastor John Collins, Love That Cross:  "Hope is like sunshine, everyone needs a ray of it"

As we read the headlines and listen to the newscasts and media speculate and sensationalize the hate, discord, unhappiness, and lies that are so prevalent in the world today: from ISIS, to school shootings, North Korea, nuclear weapons, natural disasters and the like, we as a whole tend to feel that there is no hope.  It seems that God is not there or He has forgotten us, His promises, and that Jesus may very well just be a good story about a guy who was pretty charismatic and stirred up the hearts of people, only to upset the politicians of the day and get Himself “killed”.  This is not so.  God truly is at work among us.  King Solomon recognized the hopelessness of mankind when he became the Preacher in Ecclesiastes and wrote about the pointlessness (vanity) of man’s struggle without the wisdom of faith in God.  We are much the same in our world right now.  King David, Solomon’s father, recognized this as well, and wrote about his emotions, despair and his hope and love for God in spite of what he felt about the society in which he lived.  There is still that same hope today.

“It may appear that we live in a society without faith because there is so much madness that takes place. There may seem to be a loss of hope and belief among people today but I believe that God is working among us.  I believe that salvation is at work among us. I believe that truth is here among us. It is for us to open our hearts and let Jesus in. It may not be a popular choice but it is the only choice that brings true hope and true peace.” ~ Pastor John Collins, February, 2018.

Pastor John Collins head pastor and evangelist of Love That Cross Ministries and Pastor John Collins Ministries preaches that same message of hope that Jesus Christ brought to us over 2000 years ago.  Pastor John Collins tells it like it is in a style very similar to the late Reverend Billy Graham and Reverend David Wilkerson, with humility and a manner that can be understood by all.  Our hearts are begging to feel the hope of God and the love of Jesus, and Pastor John Collins brings that in each and every one of his sermons and discussions.  Pastor John Collins has said it many times, “hope is like sunshine, everyone needs a ray of it.”

Pastor John Collins continues to spread the word of God and the hope of Christ in daily devotionals that can be found on his Facebook page, his website for Love That Cross Ministries, and through weekly Sunday morning broadcasts on Heaven’s Country Radio online at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time. Pastor John Collins also continues to spread revival through guest speaking and preaching around the country.

Pastor John Collins writes:

“HELP, Lord, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
They speak idly everyone with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.” Psalm 12:1-2 (NKJV).

When we read the words of King David we know that he saw the lack of reverence for God in his fellow man. Just as we can see the same lack of reverence today. But, do not be dismayed because although it may seem hopeless in today’s society to be a true man of God, a true follower of Christ, there is hope. God has not given up on us.

It may appear that we live in a society without faith because there is so much madness that takes place. There may seem to be a loss of hope and belief among people today but I believe that God is working among us. I believe that salvation is at work among us. I believe that truth is here among us.
It is for us to open our hearts and let Jesus in. It may not be a popular choice but it is the only choice that brings true hope and true peace. It is for us to cling to the Cross with love and devotion. It is for us to trust in God to care for us and to love us through every moment of every day.

Yes, there are faithless among us. There are shallow people with shallow hearts all around us. Yet, we take courage from David and stay true to God. We can read his words and know that although he saw wickedness that caused dismay in his soul, he hung on to hope that lies in our Lord. We are to do the same and trust that God and Jesus will see us through the day. Wake up every day and hold on to that truth.

Pray with conviction and do not be dismayed by the turmoil that may be surrounding you because the day will come when it will fall away and your faith will have been tried, tested and proven.  Do not count yourself among those that have no reverence for God. Do not count yourself among those that flee from Jesus and salvation. Count yourself among those that have come to the Cross in supplication, broken, and in desperation. Count yourself among those that claim Jesus as their Savior and count yourself blessed.

“But I have trusted in Your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.  I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.” Psalm 13:5-6 (NKJV).

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, LOVE THAT CROSS: FEAR NOT

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST, LOVE THAT CROSS: FEAR 

Fear is a liar.  Those are lyrics in a song by Zach Williams, and those words ring true.  Fear is of Satan and it is fear that drives so much of the bad things that are happening in our world today.  Fear is what keeps us from being the good neighbor that Jesus Christ taught us to be, it keeps us from reaching across cultural barriers, gender barriers, racial barriers, and poverty barriers of the homeless and ostracized. “Fear not” is in the Bible 365 times.  God’s promises teach us to be strong and confident; the saying is “God’s got this”, if we let Him.  God sent us His Peace, Jesus Christ, to help us get through the storms, the failures, the pain, the hurt of this world. It is that Peace that is the biggest promise of all, hope in the salvation given through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.  Our faith in Jesus and God is the salvation of our soul.  Where we spend eternity after this life depends on that faith.

Pastor John Collins (January, 2018) ~ “We must move forward in this life with confidence and faith and not fear, but we must also move forward with humility and not pride and a true desire to please God because it matters and where your soul ends up depends upon it.”

Pastor John Collins is an evangelist and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries and Pastor John Collins Ministries.  Pastor John Collins is driven to redeem the Gospel and bring the news of salvation and hope offered by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.  Pastor John Collins has been spreading revival for more than ten years, reaching into our hearts and souls and telling us what we need to hear.  Pastor John Collins’ style of preaching is similar to that of Billy Graham, telling the Word of God in a manner that is easy to understand and hear.  Like David Wilkerson, Pastor John Collins is humble and approachable to answer questions and guide us closer to God, Jesus, and the Cross.

Pastor John Collins writes:

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:17 (NKJV).

Fear is where bad thoughts and bad decisions lie. Fear can make you be suspicious of your loved ones, fear can make you act crazy and overbearing towards your children, fear can make you act territorial on your job and fear can costs you relationships that you cherish. Fear can make you hit the bottle, buy a bag or slam the needle. Fear can keep you from living your life peacefully. Fear can keep you inside your home, fear can keep your from opening up to others and fear can ruin your life. God does not want us to live in fear whether we are aware of it or not. God does not want us to be weak because of fear nor give in to what we do not believe in because of fear, whether it is fear of not getting along and being accepted, fear of getting hurt or fear of losing something or someone. God wants us to be strong and confident in the face of fear because we know that His promises are true.

There have been many self-help books and seminars on fear and on the power of positive thinking. Many people have grasped the concept of positive thinking and have chosen to devote themselves to changing the way that they think in order to have better outcomes on their situations in life. There are 2 options when it comes to positive thinking: you can stand in your personal power to think yourself into a positive outcome of whatever place you find yourself or you can stand in godliness and trust in the Lord to help you find solutions to your problems and grace to accept your failures along with wisdom to grow in your faith which allows your soul the maturing that God is hopeful that you will claim while you live here on earth. God is aware of all of your joys, problems, fears and complications in your life. God wants you to stand strong in your faith with loyalty to Him and with a heart for Him. God wants you to learn to trust Him and to know that without Him you are nothing, without Jesus you are nothing. That is the truth of this world. Positive thinking comes from knowing you are loved and in return you are obedient to the will of God. Positive thinking that leads to heaven comes from knowing that you are meant to live your life with the knowledge that it gets messy and how you deal with all of it is the test and it is your greatest opportunity to show your love and faith in God.

Positive thinking is good when it is based on faith in God. But positive thinking that is based on what you can create and claim for yourself is arrogant and selfish and without true knowledge. We must move forward in this life with confidence and faith and not fear, but we must also move forward with humility and not pride and a true desire to please God because it matters and where your soul ends up depends upon it. 

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.  For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” Hebrews 12:2-3 (NKJV).
