Those words warmed my heart, and they echo what people tell me wherever I travel in America or around the world. With a big smile (and sometimes with tears) people of all ages say to me, "Thanks so much for being our voice! Don't ever stop what you're doing."
This is a sacred responsibility, and it is something I take quite seriously, as I know that the Lord has called me to serve as a voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution — as your voice.
What a privilege and honor.
You see, every one of us has a specific calling and function, and every one of us is anointed by God to fulfill the calling He has laid upon us.
There are no superstars in God's kingdom, just servants.
Many of the Corinthians were new believers who were impressed with big names and dynamic personalities. That's why Paul wrote to them, "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth" (1 Cor. 3:6-7).
I have been given an assignment from the Lord, and that assignment is to be a voice, a voice for the Lord, and a voice for you.
And so, when I appear on a secular TV show like Piers Morgan, I'm not thinking about doing well for myself. I'm thinking about representing the Lord well.
I'm also thinking about representing each of you well, saying what you would want to say if you had the opportunity to speak in that setting.
And just as there are many things you can do that I could never do, there are things I can do that you could never do.
That's what makes us a body and a family, and only by working together can we see our ultimate goals fulfilled.
And so, just as I serve as a voice, each of you help to amplify that voice, which becomes our voice together.
On this website alone, some of my articles have been shared more than 150,000 times, with one article being shared more than 360,000 times. You did that, not me.
The AskDrBrown Facebook page reaches multiplied millions every day (as many as 50 million in a single week) with up to 5 million actively engaged over the course of a week (meaning, people who are liking, sharing, or commenting on a post).
Again, you are making that happen, and while I may sow the seed, you are the ones watering it by sharing these messages with others.
As a result, within minutes, what we've done together reaches tens of thousands, and within hours, reaches millions.
That is what I call teamwork!
Because my heart burns to see God's purposes on the earth advanced at this critical time in history, I speak and write day and night.
In the last 12 months, we posted more than 140 articles on the Charisma Newswebsite. These are written as a labor of love with no monetary compensation.
Our AskDrBrown YouTube channel now has more than 360 videos, and we are producing as many as three new videos each week.
We have also posted more than 125 Jewish outreach videos on our Real Messiah YouTube channel.
We have done more than 500 hours of daily radio in 2015, with every show posted online for free, without any subscription fee.
We have brought the message of revival, revolution, and reformation to cities across America as well as to numerous foreign countries.
We have broadcast the "Answering Your Toughest Questions" show on NRB TV, potentially reaching more than 40 million homes.
But all this is just scratching the surface, and what previously felt like the ceiling is really the floor to the next level of effectiveness in the years ahead.
Join with me to make a radical difference in 2016! You can help amplify my voice.
We have invitations to be on more radio stations across America.
We have the opportunity to produce new, cutting-edge TV shows that will equip you to respond to the most critical issues of the day.
We have major plans for front-line Jewish outreach, in America, Israel, and around the world.
We want to post timely YouTube videos on a daily basis as the news happens.
We are at the gate, poised and ready to go, and with your help, we can change the world together.
And so, if you believe in the work we are doing and long to have your voice heard in 2016, please consider making a year-end, tax-deductible donation to our ministry.
I give you my word that every dollar will be used to advance the cause of the kingdom and not a dime will go into my own pocket.
Thank you so much for your support, your encouragement, and your faithfulness to the Lord.
I am excited to see what God will do as we work together in 2016.

STANDING FOR TRUTH IN A WORLD OF DECEPTION
- Now Think On This – Book 4
Here are more encouraging messages written by Steve Martin for the Love For His People and Now Think On This blogs. They cover a variety of topics to encourage you, believers in Jesus, to stand strong in your daily walk, firmly committed for His plans and purposes in our nations. As the Lord would give Steve a word or two in his spirit, he would begin to write.
With a prophetic and inspirational edge, these messages will be an encouragement to you to stand clear in your faith, fulfill the call on your life, and be a light to the nations, beginning within your own family and to those around you. These simple words are meant to be an addition to your daily Bible reading and prayer time.
While the days growing darker, each of us must be built up in the faith of our forefathers and the Jewish writers of the Written Word, as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit. We must stand strong for truth in this world of deception which increasingly surrounds us.
