Though none go with you too? Love For His People, Steve Martin
News & Updates Give Support Today! Standing in support of Israel, Jews, and believers in all the nations, in the Name of Jesus (Yeshua). This is our regular communication to share the Love For His People with our friends. Blessings on ye head! June 9, 2020 Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Greeting to you our family and friends of Love For His People ministry. And to the new subscribers! Crazy. I keep telling this to my good wife Laurie, and she keeps telling me the same. The world has gone crazy. But what did we expect? In these days of shaking, as the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) Himself said, coupled with the Hebrew prophets words recorded centuries before and found in the eternal Bible, this was as planned. Believe it. As I stated before in these previous communications to you, this is but a trial run we have seen and been on. The pandemics. The civil unrest. The exploitation of the hurting, down-and-out, the murder of the innocent in the womb, and the ones who have skin tones different from others. This is that which He spoke about. Only ones who refuse to acknowledge Him would prefer to differ. Decisions, choices you and I made 10, 20, 30 years ago are being played out today. I remember a young leader named Erik Kruger (in his 30s) of a church we belong to, founded by him and Ron Milton, named Shiloh Fellowship (later renamed New Covenant Christian Church from 1980-1987) speak of those times then when we would make a decision. It would only seem to be a slight course correction or move at the time, but years, decades down the road we may end up in a place, relationship, habit, or reality that we really didn’t want. Based on that, and other words that the Holy Spirit continually speaks in encouragement and direction, I wrote this morning, Though None Go With Me. Decisions you made then, and decisions you make now, will take you down a road you may or may not like. As one wise, yet imaginable figure said in a movie, “Choose wisely.” I hope you do. Ahava and shalom, Steve Martin (with my good wife Laurie!) P.S. There is just over a month left before our Aliyah For His People event. Now this is a choice you hopefully will make to attend. See info below. P.S.S. (I like these P.S.s!) And if you haven’t already, sign up for this email communication and free Love For His People ministry app if you haven’t already. Don’t miss out! “THOUGH NONE GO WITH ME” – Steve Martin, Founder/President “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15, NKJV Simple words were spoken at that time when the man, his wife, and two sons were confronted with death. It came from a heart that had already been prepared and determined ahead of time – to follow Jesus. No turning back. No turning back. Thus, the story behind the story that later became part of the song lyrics, “I Have Decided To Follow Jesus”. Read part of that now. “About 150 years ago, there was a great revival in Wales, England. As a result of this, many missionaries came from England to northeast India to spread the Gospel. The region was known as Assam and comprised hundreds of tribes. The tribal communities were quite primitive and aggressive. The tribesmen were also called head-hunters because of a social custom which required the male members of the community to collect as many heads as possible. A man’s strength and ability to protect his wife was assessed by the number of heads he had collected. Therefore, a youth of marriageable age would try and collect as many heads as possible and hang them on the walls of his house. The more heads a man had, the more eligible he was considered. Into this hostile and aggressive community, came a group of Welsh missionaries spreading the message of love, peace, and hope of Jesus Christ. Naturally, they were not welcomed. One Welsh missionary finally succeeded in converting a man, his wife, and two children. This man’s faith proved contagious and many villagers began to accept Christianity. Angry, the village chief summoned all the villagers. He then called the family who had first converted to renounce their faith in public or face execution. Moved by the Holy Spirit, the man sung his reply, “I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back.” Enraged at the refusal of the man, the chief ordered his archers to arrow down the two children. As both boys lay twitching on the floor, the chief asked, “Will you deny your faith? You have lost both your children. You will lose your wife too.” But the man replied, again singing, “Though none go with me, still I will follow. No turning back.” * (You can read the full story here.) Check These Out!
