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 travelling 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.
