PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, JOHN COLLINS MINISTRIES: REVIVAL BLOG

  If you don't have anything good to say, then don't! From Pastor John Collins on Heaven’s Country (8.2.20): .....I heard "I went through the archive for Pastor John Collins Marty Smith, and do you know how many times in the last six years we talked about gossip? 24.  You know why? Kinda like last week when we talked about the old pastor doing John 3:16 over and over its because people aren’t catching it. "I think that one of the worst things any human being can do to another is to either be a gossip, a slanderer, or a busybody. I’ve said this, and I don’t know how more plain I can be by saying this,  if the audience again they’re not going to like my language “if you don’t have anything nice to say about somebody that can build them up, shut up, because you’re only doing Satan’s work by putting them down and keeping them down.” Proverbs 21:23 (ESV):  “whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble” ....But not so much that it keeps himself out o...

From Pastor John Collins, John Collins Ministries: “I think we’ve been saying over the past eight years that one day, God is going to get tired of getting slapped across the face by people.   We are going to have a wake-up call for something to happen, because He wants us to turn back to God.   We need to get rid of politics and get back to the Cross, first and foremost, but that is the problem. “God didn’t do this.   People going out into the public when they weren’t supposed to, not wearing masks when they were supposed to, not social distancing when they were supposed to, that was the problem.   This could have been not as deadly as it was, in my opinion, if we would have done these things.”   “You shall not tempt the LORD your God as you tempted Him in Massah” (Deuteronomy 6:16, NKJV). “Jesus said to him, “it is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God’” (Matthew 4:7, NKJV). “And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘...

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 t...

JOHN COLLINS MINISTRIES REVIVAL: Unbearable God really does want you to make it home to Him and Jesus really did die for you so that you could go there ~ Pastor John Collins, John Collins Ministries From Pastor John Collins: “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:3-5 (NKJV). Sometimes life just beats you up and sometimes your faith is tested more than you think that you can bear. It is important to begin and maintain that relationship with Jesus so that you can be sure that all of your struggles in life will produce the results that you seek. You should be seeking first and always to obey the Lord and get to heaven and your entire life should produce godly fruit that is evident of your conviction. When yo...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS: FEAR NOT, 365 TIMES IN THE BIBLE In the face of COVID-19, fear abounds across the world.  Remember, God is with us, Immanuel: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:17 (NKJV). Fear is where bad thoughts and bad decisions lie. Fear can make you be suspicious of your loved ones, fear can make you act crazy and overbearing towards your children, fear can make you act territorial on your job and fear can costs you relationships that you cherish. Fear can make you hit the bottle, buy a bag or slam the needle. Fear can keep you from living your life peacefully. Fear can keep you inside your home, fear can keep your from opening up to others and fear can ruin your life. God does not want us to live in fear whether we are aware of it or not. God does not want us to be weak because of fear nor give in to what we do not believe in because of fear, whether it is fear of not getting along and being ac...
