Pastor John Collins, Evangelist: Reviving Faith in Montana, One Church at a Time
In a revival series that was launched in fall, 2016, Pastor John Collins
continues to spread the word of God, redeeming the Gospel,
across the United States. This blog post
reviews
excerpts from the revival tour as it traveled across Montana.
Pastor John Collins is a leading evangelist in the United States today.
His vibrant,
no nonsense style of preaching brings the Word
of God, the teachings of Jesus to life.
He reaches the hearts
of those who hear him.
Pastor John Collins strives to bring God back to the United States.
He often preaches that we as a country
turned our backs to God, one person at a time, one church at a time. It’s time to change that and bring God back
into our lives, to bring hope to ourselves and to our country, one person at a
time, one church at a time. Through our
own choices to serve
our own will, not God’s, we as a whole have turned away from God. The result is that our country is in the
turmoil it is in now. As the Holy Bible says, if we turn back to God with all our hearts and cry
out to Him, He will hear our plea and heal our country. More than ever, we need God. Pastor John Collins
is answering his call by God to bring the gospel
to as many people as he can reach with the words that he preaches.
Pastor John Collins says:
“It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” John 6:45 (NKJV).
The teachings of Jesus
were insightful
and revealed the heart
of the law. He came with miracles
and truth and compassion and mercy. He
came with clarity and sadness for the people.
It is sad to see people refuse to get right with God, to see people
rebel in their hearts and choose their own will over God’s will.
It is sad to watch people choose
to be sinners and choose to harm others to lift themselves up. Believe me, there is still plenty today for
Jesus to weep over.
Our world is filled with people choosing to self-govern
and claim rational thought for themselves and believing that there is no God,
that their own moral code
will sustain them and see them through this life and that there is no cause to
concern themselves with an eternal
life. There are people on the
pulpits sharing the good news without teaching
the requirements
of being a follower of Christ. There are stubborn people who choose to
believe that there is not a right or a wrong way to worship God and that we get
to self-determine our God and how we navigate our faith in our life and have concluded
that by doing so we will enjoy the outcome that we have decided upon. It doesn’t work that way! God
came and gave instructions on how to worship Him. Jesus came and gave
insight into the law and gave
instructions on how to worship Him.
Nothing has changed.
Grace is given and faith is free but obedience
is required to claim them. You cannot claim
to be
a person of faith
and have fellowship with God when
you are living a life of selfishness
and unfaithfulness. If you are a greedy, lying, cheating, vain,
malicious, gossiper and drunk then you are not obeying God. If you are full of bitterness and resentment
and refuse to forgive those who you believe have done you wrong then you are
not in obedience with God. If you are
consumed with materialism and are obsessed with your looks and your appearance
then you are not in obedience with God.
If you are abusing drugs and your body and are not a believer then you
are not in obedience with God. If you
are not in obedience with God then you will not see the kingdom of heaven when
you die. It really is that simple.
You must obey God
to claim the gifts
of God. Salvation is claimed by
those who believe because those who believe will submit to the will of God and
will obey God. I am not talking about casual
belief but the belief that produces results in a life,
belief that produces change and purity in a life and belief that transforms
a life of darkness into one of light.
There is always an opportunity to truly claim Jesus as your savior, not
in word only but in truth. You know
whether your life is truly a life that would have God’s stamp of approval and
there is just no reason to live in denial.
There is not any time to waste on self-indulgence and sin. It is time to examine your existence and if
you are not right with God then it is time to get right with Him. Believe in the Son and claim salvation.
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:5-6 (NKJV).
PASTOR JOHN
Do we want eternal
life? Then we need to listen and
hear what Pastor
John Collins preaches about obedience
to God. The road to destruction is wide,
but the road to heaven and salvation is narrow as it says in the book of
Matthew. The United States has been
traveling the wide road to destruction for a long time, turning our backs upon
God and all the blessings that He gave us when this country was founded. We need to claim salvation for ourselves,
to hear the word
of God, to read the works of Jesus and the messages in the Holy Bible in
order to gain back the blessings that were ours as a country, and ours as
individuals. What does God want from
you? Simple-talk to Him in prayer and
start reading a good translation of the Holy
Bible that does not twist the Gospel to suit the purposes of the writer or
confuse the reader with what is called transliteration-man’s explanation, not
God’s inspired words. God wants us back.
