Pastor John Collins of Love That Cross Ministries will agree that today’s world is worse than Sodom and Gomorrah of the Old Testament, but Pastor John feels that God wants the people of the world to ALL have a last chance at the Hope of salvation through Jesus Christ and His resurrection. Pastor John Collins began his ministry with the faith and knowledge that God wants people to come back to Him. Person by person, church by church, the world has turned from God. Pastor John Collins’ mission has been to reach out to people and churches across the United States, one person at a time, one church at a time to bring renewal of faith and hope in God and Jesus Christ. Pastor John Collins knows that it is not yet the time of Revelation as written in the Holy Bible, but it is a time of REVIVAL and RENEWAL.
Love That Cross Ministries began in Wyoming, focusing on the message of REVIVAL. In his first revival through Love That Cross Ministries in Wyoming communities came together to worship and celebrate the presence of God through music and witnessing. From a small town in the west, over 600 people attended the free concert and heard a message of hope and salvation by well-known entertainers from around the country. Pastor John’s message is compelling-there is STILL Hope for everyone through the salvation by Jesus Christ and His resurrection. It is selfish for Christians to pray for Jesus Christ to return with so many people in the United States and the world not even knowing who God is and who Jesus Christ is. In order to please God, we need to revive FAITH. God wants us back, and that means as many as possible, not a select few.
A REVIVAL of FAITH does not come overnight. The deterioration of faith did not happen overnight. Pastor John Collins will tell you to take a look at the history of the United States. This is a paraphrased excerpt from Pastor John Collins’ radio programming: A country that was founded on the premise of freedom no longer values those freedoms!! God blessed the men and women who settled the United States and established a nation that was based on faith in God!! But now, for more than 50 years, the United States has increasingly kicked GOD out of everyday life!! In the 1960’s prayer and devotions were taken out of the public school system because it offended a child!! Today Christian youth have to seek special permission to worship God publically during school hours! The freedom of religion and freedom of speech within schools is NO FREEDOM at all.The United States court houses have been mandated across the country to take the Ten Commandments down from the buildings. The Ten Commandments are the foundation of justice, sent from GOD who is JUST and FAIR. God has been banned from courts whose JUSTICE is not based on faith in GOD but on what is POLITICALLY CORRECT. Faith within families has been cast aside for more alluring attractions like television programing, computer games, social media, and technology that are EMPTY of the Word of God and the values that were taught by Jesus Christ. Churches have kicked God out, putting emphasis on profit, congregation size, and performances of the people on the pulpit rather than building FAITH and FEEDING THE SOUL to prepare for eternal life, not the life that we live HERE. Pastor John’s message in that radio programming is sadly on target. We as a country have kicked God out of every part of our everyday lives. God does not force Himself into our lives; He waits with Jesus to be invited in. Our society is the way it is because we turned our back on God.
We are getting exactly what we are asking for from God.
Pastor John Collins has devoted Love That Cross Ministries to reviving the Word of God and the Hope of Jesus Christ across the United States. He believes that God wants this country to have a chance through revival, one person at a time, one church at a time. Televangelists do preach that there is REVIVAL and RENEWAL crossing the United States. The REVIVAL that is needed, according to Pastor John, is one of individual faith. Without healing ourselves first, we cannot heal a church or a community. We need to turn ourselves back toward God in order for God to turn our country around. We need to come humbly before God and seek His forgiveness so that we can REVIVE our country. It isn’t about politics and doing what won’t offend people, it isn’t about being POLITICALLY CORRECT. Pastor John Collins and many other preachers will tell you:
Pastor John Collins passionately preaches that in order for us to have REVIVAL in our country, we need to get down on our KNEES in PRAYER. PRAYER is the way to REVIVAL. REVIVAL is needed for our salvation. The only way we are going to turn this country around, one person at a time, is to seek the SALVATION that faith in GOD and JESUS CHRIST offers. Pastor John will bluntly tell you it isn’t about sending money to a televangelist to pray for us. He will tell you it isn’t about simply going to church and sitting in a pew on any given Sunday. It IS about REVIVAL of your faith and doing what God wants and Jesus taught by getting your knees dirty, by caring about others, by helping the poor, by walking, living and acting your faith EVERY DAY, not just on Sunday. We have to come back to the Cross, and LOVE the Cross for what was given there for us by a God who is THERE and is WAITING for us to turn back to Him in REVIVAL and FAITH.JESUS CHRIST was not POLITICALLY CORRECT!!! Being POLITICALLY CORRECT is not going to save your soul and it’s not going to save the United States.
In the words of Pastor John: “BELIEVE THAT!!”
