PASTOR JOHN COLLINS DAILY DEVOTIONAL: GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST: NO GOD, NO GOVERNMENT-THE PEOPLE'S THE CHOICE

Over two hundred years ago, this country was won and built in a revolution by the faith of men in God.  Those forefathers who laid the foundations of this country and its government based it upon their faith in God whom they knew and believed helped them win the war of independence against the then largest empire, Great Britain, and its well-trained army of skilled professional soldiers.  The odds were against us becoming the United States, but by God’s grace and certainly His desire, this country became the land of freedom for all. Pastor John Collins, Love That Cross Ministries, tells us our dilemma of today’s government and society is because we have kicked God out of everything, including our government.  Those founding fathers knew that the only reason the war was won was because it was God who blessed us.  Truly, just as Pastor John Collins says it, we have now turned our back on God, kicking Him out of school, family, churches, and the government.  It has been progressing to the point it has become over decades.  And no, just as Pastor John Collins says, God is not blessing this country.  Why would He right now?  We are getting exactly what we have asked for in our government.

“How can we complain about the bloated condition of our government when the people voted these politicians into the positions that they have? It is the people who raise up for themselves leaders who they believe will accomplish the goals that they have for themselves. When the majority of the populace is not godly themselves, then they will be governed by ungodly people. Our country is truly in a state of distress and the people are picking up cause after cause to rally behind, but, who is willing to say what the root of the cause of the condition is itself? I will. There is no faith here, no righteousness here and no godliness here that is in any majority of any group.” Pastor John Collins (March, 2018).

Pastor John Collins, evangelist, is the head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries and John Collins Ministries.  Pastor John Collins has been promoting a revival of hope and faith for many years.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ has been diluted with the desires of what people want to hear, with the Koolaid of prosperity doctrine, of wrong interpretation of the Holy Bible, and that Gospel of redemption now needs to be redeemed itself, says Pastor John Collins.   The only way we are going to turn this country around is to get on our knees to pray, to open the Bible and read it for ourselves instead of expecting someone to do it for us, and allow the beauty and love of God to fill us as it was meant to.  Salvation is still ours to claim, preaches Pastor John Collins, it hasn’t changed in more than 2000 years, but mankind has found ways to fill our own egos and greed on the back of the Man who died to save us from our sins, instead of focusing the purpose of the pulpit and preaching of the pastors on the Salvation of Jesus Christ and His singularly willing sacrifice to die for us so that we can have eternity to live instead of eternity to die.  That mindset has found its way into our government, and we the people put it there.  God has no reason to bless us, and until we make the change toward him, that won’t happen.  Pastor John Collins has the lifelong commitment to bring God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ back, to redeem that Gospel and help us found our salvation.

Pastor John Collins writes:

“And He said to me: ‘So of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel to this city.’” Ezekiel 11:2 (NKJV).

If you don’t like the decisions of the president then sue him. If you don’t like the decisions of the state then sue the state. If you don’t like the decisions of the school board then sue them. If you don’t like the rules then sue whoever it takes until the rules change. How can we complain about the bloated condition of our government when the people voted these politicians into the positions that they have? It is the people who raise up for themselves leaders who they believe will accomplish the goals that they have for themselves. When the majority of the populace is not godly themselves, then they will be governed by ungodly people. Our country is truly in a state of distress and the people are picking up cause after cause to rally behind, but, who is willing to say what the root of the cause of the condition is itself? I will. There is no faith here, no righteousness here and no godliness here that is in any majority of any group.

The people of this country have lost their way and have banished God from their lives, their homes, their schools and most important from their government. The polls will tell you that most politicians have a claim to Christianity but the truth is the fruit of the tree and these people are not bringing God into the decisions that they are making for our country. Just because you say you are of Christ does not mean that you are. When did we fall asleep at the wheel and allow ourselves to become disjointed, unruly and so micromanaged that nothing can be accomplished for the good? How did we allow ourselves to get so caught up in specific causes that we cannot see the forest for the trees? Where is God in this country? If we allow our lives to be barren of our faith then we will definitely heap up for ourselves those who will be blind leading the blind. It is not only our religious leaders that we must be willing to discern the righteousness of a man but it is our political leaders as well.

If you cannot see a solution to the complicated mess of a system that is out of control then let me enlighten you to what is needed. Get on your knees. Get a bible and open it and get right with God. It matters if you are justified in the eyes of the Lord and each household that is a light unto this world can create another and another. Be willing to stand for the truth of God and do not compromise on those standards. This world may call for abominations to be written into law, but you need to be willing to stand against the tide of the world for the righteousness of God. You may not think that it matters, but it does. Be willing to be a ripple of godliness in an ocean of sin and know that your efforts will be counted as good fruit. Do not be ignorant to the tests that enter your life through the corruption and sin perpetrated by those in positions of authority.

“Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming-in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning- lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” Mark 13:35-37 (NKJV).
