PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST, THOUGHT OF THE DAY: CO-DEPENDENCY


 From John Collins Ministries:

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV).
Have you ever been co-dependent? Have you ever been depressed, miserable and feeling so lonely that you allow negative relationships to build with negative people in your life?  Have you ever been afraid to be alone?  Are you keeping unhealthy relationships alive in order to avoid emptiness?
In order to be healthy in our live in our souls and not only our bodies, we must be honest with ourselves. If you truly want spiritual health, heart health and mental health then get to know Jesus Christ.  When you give your all to coming to the Cross and submitting to God's will for your life, you will find yourself supported, whole, happy and fulfilled.  There is function and independence being a servant of God and a follower of the Lord Jesus.

The life of Jesus has a purity of thought and intent that we all should learn from.  Jesus was sure of the right and wrong in the world and Jesus was sure of His place in the world  and every Christian has that surety and confidence offered to them.  There is not person that is not given the opportunity to be freed of the 'need' of others and freed of the insecurity of life.  The need in life is to find the hope in Christ and with the effort to come to know Him comes the clarity of strength and the assurance of independence.

People don't need to feel lonely or miserable but just need to call on Jesus and stay committed to Him.  Jesus will heal you, free you and guide you into a lifetime of doing His will that will cure your loneliness and fulfill your needs.

Sometimes it is necessary to just stop in your life.  Stop what you are doing and take an honest inventory of where you are at emotionally, mentally and spiritually.  Life is precious and should not be experienced in a state of agony and insecurity.  Seek Jesus and He will hold your hand and lead you to the promised land, if you let Him.
"Finally, brethren, whatever thing are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditiate on these things."  Philippians 4:8 (NKJV).

LOVE THAT CROSS, PASTOR JOHN COLLINS

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST, THOUGHT OF THE DAY: CHRISTMAS STRUGGLE

From John Collins Ministries: “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” Matthew 6:24-25 (NKJV). Christmas shopping season is here and before you run out and break the bank, overload the credit cards and spend hard earned cash that you should not, please rethink this holiday season!! One of the hardest lessons to learn in life is restraint. When to restrain yourself from acting, from speaking and from reacting in a manner that is expected from you. Just because the world, especially the United States has come to drive buying in excess to please our loved ones in some kind of celebration for the birth of Jesus Christ for some and just an excuse to

JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST, THOUGHT OF THE DAY: HALLOWEEN

From John Collins Ministries: “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.” 1 Corinthians 10:21 (NKJV). “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said, ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them, I will be their God, and they shall be My people.’ Therefore ‘Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you and you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.’” 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (NKJV). Halloween is paganism. God has spent a lot of time and effort and has sent many a prophet, messenger a

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST, THOUGHT OF THE DAY: STATE OF THE "UNION"

“And He said to me: ‘So of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel to this city.’” Ezekiel 11:2 (NKJV). It is the people who raise up for themselves leaders who they believe will accomplish the goals that they have for themselves~ Pastor John Collins (photo courtesy Google images) If you don’t like the decisions of the president then sue him. If you don’t like the decisions of the state then sue the state. If you don’t like the decisions of the school board then sue them. If you don’t like the rules then sue whoever it takes until the rules change. How can we complain about the bloated condition of our government when the people voted these politicians into the positions that they have? It is the people who raise up for themselves leaders who they believe will accomplish the goals that they have for themselves. When the majority of the populace is not godly themselves, then they will be governed by ungodly people~Pastor John Collins, March 2018
