Pastor John Collins, Evangelist: A Letter From God

Pastor John Collins, evangelist, of Love That Cross Ministries continues to bring hope to us, bringing God back into lives that are missing hope.  Paul Harvey read a broadcast entitled “If I Were the Devil” in the 1960’s.  That particular broadcast is eerily still as accurate for today’s world as it was 50 years ago.  Pastor John Collins presented “A Letter From God”  during a sermon.  

God really doesn’t want us to suffer, to be sad, to be lost, to be miserable.  He created us, His children for His pleasure, and it is His pleasure to give us good things.  He is a just God, and He doesn’t simply give everyone what they want when they want it.  He wants us to come to him willingly, by our choice.  He loves us whether we recognize Him or not.  He waits patiently for the time when we will turn to Him in love and faith.  

Pastor John Collins tells us the truth about God, about Jesus Christ, about the scriptures and the Gospel and how we have fallen far from the Cross of salvation, deny the existence of God who loves us, who is just and who tests us to grow in faith in Him every day.  Each day is a test of our faith, and God waits for us to realize He is as real as the air we breathe and the ground we walk on.  He wants us to turn from hate, from despair, from the sadness that simply prevails in this world, to talk to Him in prayer, to learn to love Him with all our hearts, souls, minds and strengths.  He is our God, and He gives us chance after chance, forgiveness after forgiveness. 

 

This is Pastor John Collins’ Letter from God:

LETTER FROM GOD

My Children,

My wounded and hurt children, what shall I say to you? I know that your hearts are broken and your spirits are defeated because I can feel your pain. I know that you are lost and weary because I can feel your confusion. I know that you are angry and bitter because I can feel your resentment. I know that you are distant and separated because I can feel your doubt. I know that you are above it all and feel that you are better than I because I can feel your pride.

I see you. I feel you. I created you. I have never forced My love on any of you, I have given it freely. I have never forced My Son on any of you, I offered Him freely.

I look down upon you and am saddened. I look down upon you and am angered. I have given you the truth and it is there within you, yet you ignore it. You have the free will to make your own choices and that is something that I have always honored and will always honor. As a Father, I want the best for My children and have sent so many along the way to guide you and to help you and yet they are rejected and killed.

You hate each other and you hate Me. You have stopped believing in Me and have turned away. What shall I say to you?

Are the skies not blue enough for you? Are the sun and the moon not enough light to guide your days and nights? Has the earth stopped yielding her fruit? Have the waters run dry? Have you stopped being able to have children of your own? Has the earth that I provided stopped doing what it was created to do? Is it not enough to have life and learn to do something precious with that life?

Why do you hate? What makes you doubt? What more do you want that has not been given?

Each one of you was not meant to live the same life as each other. But, each one of you was meant to live a life that will challenge you, enrich you and give you the opportunity to come back home to Me. Why do you despise what you have been given?

You desire to blame Me and you desire to discard Me. I look down and see the rape of children, men and women. I see the slaughter of innocents, the lust of people acting like animals, the pride and arrogance of the doomed. I see the betrayal, the lies, the death and the deception. I see the malice and greed of so many and I see too many that use Me to gain prestige and money. I see the ruin of so many and the ignorance of more.

You may be able to look around and take note of what I am saying, but what you can’t see is all. You can’t see into the depths of hell and feel the pain and regret. You can’t know the bliss of heaven and the beauty of the kingdom. You don’t seem to care that you are blessed with today while you yet have breath in your body.

I know that I do not ask too much. I know that My ways are right. I know that life may very well seem impossible and that is why I have given you My Son. I know the human heart because I created it and I know the challenges in life because I gave you life. Each of you has a choice to make and with all of My heart I hope you choose the right one.

My children, once again I ask you to not be taken in by the lure of the lusts of this world. As much as I love you, I will not force your love upon Me. I will always allow you to choose what you hold dear and will honor your choice. I can only hope that you wake to the truth that is in your heart, where I wait to embrace you. But, it is not only believing, my child, it is acting on that belief.

Do not let the terrors of this world keep you from your reward. Do not let illnesses and broken hearts keep you from loving one another. Do not let resentments and bitterness keep you from forgiveness and peace. Do not let hatred control your actions and do not let greed drive you. Do not let pride and vanity overtake you and do not accept the gifts of the world.

My children, come home to Me, come back to Me, come to My Son and seek His loving embrace. 

Know that I love you and have not forgotten you nor forsaken you.

Love, God

LOVE THAT CROSS, PASTOR JOHN COLLINS

Pastor John Collins has been spreading the message that God wants us back for over ten years.  This world is a hard and harsh place to live and to do so without God makes us a hopeless people.  Thing is, it’s not necessary to live it alone.  God sent us Jesus to teach us through His actions and words.  Jesus taught us to love, to be like God, to be Christ-like.  We can’t be perfect, but Jesus and His sacrifice on the Cross for us makes us perfect in the eyes of God if we accept that They exist and are real.  It would be so much easier to live in a world where we let go of resentment and hate, of pride and vanity.  What people do to each other creates more of the same.  Wouldn’t it be better to create a good place to live, a peaceful place to live?  

Salvation means being saved from condemnation after we leave this body.  Condemnation comes when we reject God and His love, His existence and the existence of Jesus.  Jesus saves us because we are not perfect and we can’t be perfect without Him.  God has done so much for us, yet the world continues to slap Him in the face with hate, resentment, lies, pride and ego.  We have to humble ourselves and admit that we are wrong, that we need Jesus, that we accept His offer of salvation, then truly admit that we regret what we’ve done-sin-and let Jesus and God work the wonders of salvation in us.  It’s that simple.  The alternative is a miserable life here followed by a miserable life in eternity.  One second after you die, you will know it’s too late to change anything.

God wants us, as many of us who will come to Him.  He is patient, forgiving, and loving.  He is just. 

As Pastor John preached, God wants us back.  It’s time to bring Him back into our lives.

Pastor John Collins, Evangelist: What's it take to get into heaven?

Pastor John Collins, continuing the message of Hope and Trust.

Pastor John Collins continues to deliver a message of Hope and Trust across the United States through his revivals.  God and Jesus play a very central part in Pastor John Collins’ life.  His experiences with God have changed his life, taking him to churches across the United States, bringing God back to congregations.

Pastor John Collins preaches in a manner that people understand.  He does not talk above your head: he doesn’t use big words or elaborate sermons to get his point across to the audience.  He is very down to earth and humble; he appreciates the pain of the human condition. 

Pastor John Collins is not afraid to preach the truth.

Pastor John Collins shares that so many pastors, ministers and preachers have stepped away from teaching and preaching the whole truth. Most will preach of God’s love and heaven, few will speak about the choice between heaven and hell, the fact that eternity is real, and that what we do here in our choices of everyday living effect where we will spend eternity.  Few will talk about the wrath of God, padding their sermons with delicate descriptions of God and His love and avoiding the truth of the whole story.  Pastor John Collins is not afraid to preach the truth. 

Pastor John Collins takes a stand on heroin and other drug addictions.

Pastor John Collins has taken a stand against drug addictions.  Having first-hand experiences with people who have addictions to heroin, Pastor John Collins will go to the extreme to help someone get help when they decide that the addiction has to go.  Heroin addiction is an epidemic in many areas of the United States.  Pastor John Collins has preached that it tears families apart, that it is time to take a stand to help alleviate the heroin addiction epidemic. 

 

Pastor John Collins is biblically correct.

Pastor John Collins is not politically correct.  He preaches that Jesus was not politically correct, that the Holy Bible is not politically correct, and that in order to be a Christian, one must do their best to be biblically correct.  Pastor John Collins believes that the Holy Bible is 100% accurate and is a guideline to use in day to day living, honoring and worshiping God and Jesus.  Political correctness does not buy your way into heaven.  Biblical correctness does.  Where we end up is the important issue that so many pastors avoid talking about, and as a result, we don’t know what it takes to get into heaven. 

Pastor John Collins, Evangelist of Love That Cross Ministries spoke about his journey to becoming a Christian.

 

Pastor John Collins says:

“Hello and welcome.  My name is Pastor John Collins.  I would like to take a moment and tell you a little about myself.  I was not always a Christian.

I had lived a life of sin and had no intention of becoming a preacher.  I did not find God, He found me.

I was a man who loved money and all that it could buy.  I enjoyed living my life for me.  I am now a man who lives his life for God and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  I am committed to living the Word as well as preaching the Word.  I believe in helping your neighbor.

I believe in doing what is right and helping another in need whenever you can.  I believe in teaching the Old Testament as well as the New Testament.  “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.”  Matthew 5:17.  The New Testament does not replace the Old, it fulfills it.

We are living in a time when being a Christian is not a good thing.

To tell someone that you are a Christian is to bring on skepticism and disdain.  There are many greedy and self-serving preachers that are responsible for that.

There are many preachers that teach people wrong and also teach them to want what they themselves want, which is money.  

I am not here to get rich.  I am here to help you build your faith, get salvation and go to heaven. 

We can do that together by loving one another and helping our neighbors.  I know that corrupt preachers need to be stopped and we need to work to make the Christian faith one of respect again.

I am here to speak the truth and teach the word of God as it was meant to be taught.  I am here to walk the walk and talk the talk.  I serve God and my Lord Jesus Christ.  I am thankful that they have come into my life and given me the truth.

They have given me a passion for righteousness.  They have saved me and I want the same for you.  I hope that you enjoy my sermons and if you ever need to speak with me, do not hesitate to contact me and leave me your number.

May God bless you and yours.

Love That Cross, Pastor John Collins.”

Pastor John Collins brings back God.

Pastor John Collins, Evangelist, is a humble preacher.  He believes fully in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ who is our salvation and our Hope.  It is fully his desire to preach the truth of the Word, to preach the Hope of the Word, and to bring as many people as possible back to God.  He fully believes that there is hope, and that God wants each and every one of our souls back with Him. 

Pastor John Collins works hard to teach people to understand the love of God and the consequences of our choices here in this life.  Everyone deserves a chance to hear the truth of God, both in the United States and across the world.  We all have fallen far from the salvation of the Cross and the teachings of Christ over 2000 years ago.  God wants us back, as many of us who will choose to believe in Him and come back, like the prodigals we are.  Pastor John Collins is there to answer your questions. 

There are multiple recordings of Pastor John Collins’ sermons on Blog talk Radio and posted on YouTube.  Take some time today to turn back to God and listen to what Pastor John Collins preaches through the links provided. 

As Pastor John Collins said, “May God bless you and yours.  Love that Cross.”

Pastor John Collins, Evangelist: Wanting the best

Gifts of the Father

Pastor John Collins is spreading the Word of the Gospel across the United States through his newest revival tour, Hope and Trust.  

Pastor John Collins, Evangelist with Love That Cross Ministries and John Collins’ Ministries recently preached:

“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).

LOVE THAT CROSS, PASTOR JOHN COLLINS

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’ revivals speak to the issues that we face in the United States.   

We have turned our backs to God, taking Him out of our schools, our government, our families and our churches-and as a result our society is hurting badly for hope.  

Pastor John Collins preaches hope, and the salvation of Jesus Christ, seeking to bring souls to Christ through his revivals and his messages. 

Pastor John preached, we need to take the time to connect with God and with Jesus Christ and bring our souls back to the Cross, bring ourselves back to our God who loves us so very much.  He is waiting for us to make that choice, to hear the words that were preached and taught by Jesus Christ, to humble ourselves so that we can be forgiven by Him and be blessed by Him.  Our struggle in this life doesn’t have to be done alone, wasn’t meant to be carried alone, we can’t do it alone.  Jesus is there for us to handle the problems we face every day, and Jesus is there as the Hope for tomorrow.  All we have to do is believe and ask forgiveness, then continue to work toward being Christ-like everyday.  Yes, we will all fall down and trip ourselves with mistakes, but that Grace that is offered by God through Jesus saves us.  

John Collins, Pastor and Evangelist says: “Hope is like sunshine, everyone needs a ray of it.” 

 Come stand in the ray of hope that is Jesus Christ.
