WALKING FOR GOD: To Pastor John Collins, "GOD MATTERS!"

WHEATLAND, Wyo. - Aug. 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Pastor John Collins, head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries, is one of the 15 most influential pastors living today.  He is a fresh and honest example for evangelism, revival, and renewal that is sweeping the United States.

Pastor John is a man of God and he lives to serve God.  He was not always a Christian and didn't believe in God.  For the past ten years, Pastor John has grown into an outspoken, dynamic evangelist: a modern day Billy Sunday.  Late last month, Pastor John Collins heard God tell him to walk for Him. Pastor John is quoted to say "Was sitting Sunday watching the Cubs play when I felt GOD tell me to walk for him."  He believes that when God asks Pastor John to do something, Pastor John obeys.  Creating a sign which says "Blessed are the peacemakers, BLUE LIVES MATTER, GOD MATTERS," Pastor John Collins walked 19 miles the next day in the July heat.

Too many times, God asks us to act for Him and we ignore Him or we don't hear His voice.  That quiet voice is drowned out by a chaotic world that is noisy and all too quick to turn its back on the One who created it.  Pastor John Collins is not ashamed to profess his faith.  Pastor John does not ignore that quiet voice. Pastor John does not turn his back on God.  Pastor John Collins will take a firm and unshakeable stand on the difficult issues that are facing this country.  That stand takes guts and courage. That stand includes taking a sign across country, 19 miles, to tell people "GOD MATTERS".

Pastor John is NOT a marathon runner.  He DOES NOT devote hours every day to working out to improve his stamina or increase his strength.  Pastor John is very much an average man of middle age.  Pastor John did not have time to have a professional sign created. Pastor John did not have any specially made footwear or athletic clothing to accomplish God's task.  Most people struggle to walk two miles on any given day as a form of exercise for their health benefits. Pastor John simply felt God's call, got up the next day and began walking.  He did not know when he started out just how many miles he would walk.  His goal was to walk to the next town, carrying a sign that stated "GOD MATTERS".  That next town was 19 miles away.

What is so special about walking 19 miles carrying a sign?

Most Americans take about 20 to 45 minutes to go 20 miles in a car, depending upon where they live.  Pastor John walked those 19 miles unconditionally without any special preparation in advance, without any special training, without any specially designed clothing, and without any advance notice to media to bring awareness to his mission.  Pastor John did it because he knows with all his heart that GOD MATTERS in everything.

How many of us have the dedication to anything that would inspire us to get up and go do something without any preparation or planning in advance?  Most churches take months to go from suggestion to implementation of a decision.  Most people don't have the enthusiasm to participate in something like a marathon or competition without months of preparation and planning.  Pastor John is dedicated to God.  GOD MATTERS so much in Pastor John's life that he did what he was asked and then paid a physical price of discomfort for days. Pastor John's message is very simple:  God should count in our everyday lives, whether it's while watching a baseball game or when we are in the depths of misery.  GOD MATTERS and He wants to be part of our lives unconditionally.

Pastor John Collins will tell you candidly that he is not politically correct, but he IS biblically correct.  What was written over 2000 years ago in the Holy Bible is just as applicable today as it was when it was written.  God mattered then and GOD MATTERS now. The Holy Bible holds records of men and women who were called by God to perform and complete what to us were impossible tasks. Those men and women had faith that barely exists in today's world.  Pastor John demonstrated a rock solid belief that God moved him to walk for Him. Pastor John's rock solid faith allowed him to walk 19 miles in the heat of a summer day to serve God, without any special preparation or fanfare, to spread the message that "GOD MATTERS."

Pastor John Collins gives us all an extraordinary example of how to obey and honor God.

With God, everything is possible.  Pastor John Collins wants as many people to know that God knows what is happening here in the United States and around the world.  His message of GOD MATTERS is meant to reach everyone, everywhere.  What God wants, according to Pastor John Collins, is for us as people to get to know God again. We have all stepped so far away from God that we have forgotten that He really does exist. GOD MATTERS.  Pastor John will tell you that God wants us to read the Holy Bible again, that He wants us to talk to Him again.  Pastor John preaches that God sent Jesus Christ to us as our salvation and our hope.  Pastor John preached that hope through his walk for God with the simple message "GOD MATTERS".

Pastor John Collins through Love That Cross Ministries has preached across the country, from Idaho to Wyoming, Georgia to North Carolina and many places in between with the message that GOD MATTERS.

Pastor John Collins says"It's time for us to get to know GOD again. GOD MATTERS, BELIEVE THAT."
