Pastor John Collins, Evangelist, Thought of the Day

From John Collins Ministries: Pastor John feels it is time to show the world how far from Christianity we have gotten.  He wants to Change the Face of Christianity and make it mean something!  If you do not understand what this means, let me explain it to you. Today we have people who do not want to go to church for very good reasons!  There are the "church hurt" people.  Church hurt means someone who was hurt by their church.  This could be someone who turned to their church for help and was turned away.  It could mean someone who was judged in church, felt pushed away or uncomfortable within their church or disagrees with everything going on inside of their church.  How do you take a church hurt person and get them to trust in a church again? At one time, it was very respectful to be a Christian.  Today, it is not cool to be a Christian because look how bible thumping Christians behave!  They think they are holier than thou, b...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, REDEEMING THE GOSPEL CONNECT "Slow down and look up... one thing that you can do for yourself in your daily lives, it is to take the time to connect with the Lord ~  Pastor John Collins, John Collins Ministries Redeeming the Gospel Revival “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. J...

Your two year old child plays with the key fob to your car and triggers the alarm system so that you can’t get the doors open.   When you do find someone to fiddle with the locks and get it open, you find that the engine won’t start because the alarm system is still enabled.   You are now late for work.   You go to use your cell phone call a tow truck and your employer to find that the cell towers are not working today where you live.   The next day, you discover that the water company has shut off the water main for an emergency pipe break and it is uncertain how long it will take.   Someone totals your husband’s car.   It seems like the bad just keeps going on and on.     You can choose to wallow in self-pity and tell your story to all your friends, post it on Facebook, or you can choose to give to Jesus in prayer, draw a line in the sand right then, and start fresh   in your heart.   Bad day “Through the Lord’s mercies ...

From John Collins Ministries:  "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10 (NKJV). It is time for a serious  reality check  for every single  person  living on earth at this time: You are going to die an earthly  death  and will have to face the righteous judgment of  God . You may think you know what that means, you may not care but let me fill in the blanks for so many….whether you choose to believe in  God  or not, whether you find  God  fair or not, whether you agree with  God  or not, whether you end up dismissing  God  or not, whether you reject  God  or not and whether you end up getting as angry at  God  as you want and as defiant toward  God  as you want and you can ignore Him, disobey Him and reject His Son but ...

JOHN COLLINS MINISTRIES:  THE TRUTH HURTS Teaching our children to know about Jesus and GOD begins at home.   No school can do it for us.   Satan has woven his lies to keep children from knowing that Jesus is there to help them, to care for them, and to protect them.   A few generations back, GOD was taken out of school because He was an offense to someone, and Christians stood by and allowed it.   In addition,   because those generations didn’t like hearing the truth, the fact of hell and its consequences was removed. (Pastor John Collins, 2018). “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy ...

Opening your heart. “Open the eyes of my heart” is a popular Christian song and it holds a lesson that Pastor John Collins of John Collins Ministries teaches in a recent message.   Consider closely what it is that you ask for when you consider your faith, your heart, your sin, and your path to heaven.   It’s how we get to our real final destination that we work on here in this life, says Pastor John Collins .   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 liberatio...
