PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, JOHN COLLINS MINISTRIES, THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: DESIRING JESUS
Opening your heart.
Pastor John Collins writes:
“He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who
loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him
and manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21 (NKJV).
We know the story; that Jesus suffered for us, that He died
for us, that He was separated from God for us, that He was buried and that He
rose again. We know that Jesus is our Savior and that the work was completed by
Him as our propitiation. What can Jesus do for you now? There are many who pray
for healing, for financial liberation, for love, happiness and so many things
that should never come first in a person’s life. So, what can Jesus do for you,
if you are willing to ask?
Jesus can deliver you from sin. You will say, He already did
that by dying on the cross for us. No. Jesus died so that you are able to be
forgiven, but that will not keep you from sinning in your life. Jesus will
deliver you from your fleshly desires, will teach you obedience to God’s
Commandments, will open the Scriptures for you and will give you knowledge.
Jesus will teach you submission, take you from anger and hate to forgiveness
and love. Jesus will guide you into compassion and hope, peace and simplicity.
Jesus will help you to become willing to see this life as it should be seen,
fleeting, a test, a joy and full of complications that can hinder your path to
heaven. Jesus will heal your heart and your mind and teach you to look up to
our true Father and Creator and to allow the things of this world to pass from
your life. Jesus will help you to let go, to stop living in fear, to trust in
the Lord. Jesus will come to you and love you.
You have to learn to pray for the right things, to desire
the things of God and not the things of this world. You have to open your heart
to desiring to spend the time it takes to truly get to know how God desires to
be worshiped and you have to learn to listen to the truth that is given to you.
Jesus will help you to grow in faith, to become a light to others and to
overcome sin. It is not enough that He died for you, now you must learn to live
for Him. It is not enough to believe in Him, now you must honor Him by dying to
sin and denying yourself the passions of the flesh that will empty your soul
and corrupt you. Jesus will be there for you, will strengthen you and if you
are genuine in your gratefulness and genuine in your desire to belong to Him,
He will not forsake you. Allow yourself to be willing to be convicted in what
you must release and ask Jesus to deliver you from those burdens. Jesus is
willing, are you?
“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love,
just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These
things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy
may be full.” John 15:10-11 (NKJV).
LOVE THAT CROSS PASTOR JOHN COLLINS
Believing in Jesus is the first step, and He is most
certainly willing to reach us, teach us and help us lose what we need to in
order to live for Him.
Pastor John Collins is changing the face of Christianity
through John Collins Ministries. His dedication to preaching the truth, what we
need to hear, not what we want to hear is immeasurable. Reminding us to compare and look at the Bible
as reference, Pastor John Collins illustrates that we have the very same
divisions, issues, problems that the early Church experienced after Jesus was
crucified. The church was not to be a divided
church, preaching this doctrine this way, and that doctrine that way. Pastor John Collins takes his listeners back
to the original intentions of the words written by those who knew and walked
with Jesus, who experienced the miracle of His resurrection and His
Gospel. John Collins Ministries is
redeeming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It’s time for a change.
Pastor John reaches millions each Sunday on Heaven’s Country Radio at 10
a.m. and 6 p.m. Mountain Time and other AM and FM radio stations across the

have experienced in recent decades. The
message Pastor Collins presents is one that we all need to hear to make the
choices we need to make in order to go home to God and Jesus Christ.
