Hadassah and Nissim Lerner - our dear friends in Israel

We pray daily for Nissim and Hadassah Lerner in Isifyah (near Haifa), Israel. Hadassah is close to being with her Lord and Savior. Yeshua HaMashiach.

In case you missed this...

 


We are meant to be here in these last days.

Come and Go - latest book by Steve Martin



DEDICATION

 With this, my 38th book, I dedicate to those who hear the Word of the Lord. And obey it.

First, to Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28, NASB). 

And then, to those who hear and obey His command. “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation,” (Mark 16:15, NASB), taking His message of forgiveness, love, and grace to walk in His plans and purposes for your life.

May His Holy Spirit continue to guide you and lead you to the completion of the assigned mission He has given specifically to you. And be encouraged!

Ahava and shalom, 

Steve Martin


INTRODUCTION

 

When the Lord calls each of us to “come, follow Me”, He does so because He has a great plan and purpose for each of our lives. He knows what our desires are, but most importantly, He is the one who puts those desires in our hearts.

As you seek Him, He will lead you to places you have never dreamed of, giving you missions you had never thought possible, and will direct your steps to complete the total picture He has for you, as you take your place in His Body among the peoples of the nations.

My good and beautiful wife, Laurie, and me are going to Jerusalem this fall, October 2025, to volunteer with Christian Friends of Israel. It is my 30th trip to The Land and her 9th. We are blessed!

We have heard the word to “Come”, and now we have again heard the word of the Lord to “Go.”

And thus, we shall!

Blessings on ye head,

Steve Martin

As a special added note: In October, Laurie and I will be going to Jerusalem for three months to volunteer at Christian Friends of Israel.  (Oct. 15, 2025-Jan. 12, 2026)

"You are valued." New from Steve Martin, Love For His People

Aug. 13, 2025


Greetings to you once again.


Yes, we are counting down the days until we are "leaving on the jet plane". (John Denver sang that to his wife Annie back in the day.)


At the advice of trusted friends, you will notice a change in this communication. Knowing your "time is short", I have cut out and shortened this so that you don't get bogged down, and do take the time to read what I sense the Holy Spirit gives me for each message.


But I will always include a photo from Israel, to draw your heart closer to the one God, the Father, which He has for His people, the Jews. This is my daily prayer for many.


My new message is entitled, "Valued in His Eyes". Yes, you are!


Be blessed in your blessing others.


Ahava and Shalom,


Steve Martin

P.S. A shout out to my "Advisory Board", who gave good advice on communications with all of you, as they regularly respond to my emails. Laurie, Josh, Ben, Mary, Lisa - I treasure your knowledge and wisdom. Todah rabah! ("Thank you very much" in Hebrew.)

Israel Photo of the Week: Despite the recent negative global press coverage against the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), we wholeheartedly declare our support for them, a stance we've maintained for over 20 years. (Israel IDF camp in the Golan. Steve Martin with soldiers May 2005, on the Christian Friends of Israel - USA tour, Hannele Pardain, USA Director.)

Valued in His Eyes

 

“As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, and You place me in Your presence forever.”

Psalm 41:12, NASB

 

It used to be that a penny was worth something. In fact, I remember when, as a little kid, even as old as 10, my dad would bend down to pick up a penny off the sidewalk that had fallen from another.

 

“To some people, this isn’t worth the effort. But to me it is”, he would say. He knew what it was like to be poor, and made sure his family never was. Mom said he would tell her, “I work two jobs, 60 hours a week, so my family and I will never be poor again.” Louis Martin gave his all for his family. (I'll see you in heaven, Dad.)

 

As of 2025, each penny costs $.03 to make. So, the government is planning on doing away with it. I guess it is a good thing, then, that I took my pennies to the coin machine at Food Lion to cash them in last week. No one will pick them up off the street again. There will not be any.

 

Being thankful that the Lord continually shows His love and how He values us is so important to our self-esteem. Without His ongoing affirmation, approval, and encouragement towards us, the lies of the world would beat us down to the point that we give up, turn back, or simply quit.

 

We are valued in His eyes. He created us. He wants us to be with Him, in His family, now and forevermore.

 

He proved it then, and He proves it now as we spend time with Him.

 

"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20, NASB (emphasis mine)


We are worth more than a penny. We are worth the life the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) freely gives us as we abide with Him in our daily walk. Keep on walking with Him as your guide.

  

Ahava and Shalom,

 

Steve Martin

I HEARD THE LORD SAY 'MY DAUGHTERS, DO NOT BOW TO THE GIANTS AT THE GATE' - Lana Vawser

I HEARD THE LORD SAY 'MY DAUGHTERS, DO NOT BOW TO THE GIANTS AT THE GATE'

Recently I heard the Lord say, 'My daughters, do not bow to the giants at the gate.'

As I leaned in and listened to the Lord's heart, I heard:

'My daughters do not be distracted by the giants at the gate. Do not be distracted by their loud voices and their loud roars, as you continue to stand and contend to move into what I am calling you to step into. The battles you are facing are not a sign that you are moving in the wrong direction, they are the very sign that you are FOLLOWING ME. I say unto you, fear not the giants that are roaring loudly at the gates. Keep your eyes on Me and continue to stand and declare that which I have spoken to you.

'For I say unto you, that this is the hour for you to take flight. This is the hour for you to arise out of the ashes, and this is the hour for you to apprehend in greater ways that which I have promised you. I say unto you, that not only are you moving across thresholds in the spirit into new areas that I have for you; but I say unto you, that I am causing you to arise and take flight and TAKE BACK the lands and the areas that the enemy has chased you out of. 

'I say to those of you who have felt that it is too late to redeem and reclaim that which the enemy chased you out of, I say unto you, that I am bringing you full circle. I say unto you, I am bringing you into a divine BEGIN AGAIN to APPREHEND that which I have promised you and that which I have called you to do and the lands I have called you to co labour with Me in. I am giving you back the grounds that I called you to tend that the enemy chased many of you out of – through fear, intimidation, accusation, infirmity and weariness.

'I say unto you, that you have entered an hour of being matured into your authority in Me, unlike any other. I say unto you, that I am teaching and training you in levels you have not experienced before to walk in your authority in Me. Where you have abdicated your authority, I am calling you to repent and take back the authority that you have in Me, by abiding and living in Me and My victory.

'I say unto you, do not be intimidated by the battles you are facing and the giants that have been guarding the gates. For I am leading you in faith and My divine strategies to arise and overcome that which has been attempting to keep you from the places that are yours in this season. In the battles you are facing at these gates, I say unto you, that I am strengthening you in faith. I am teaching you to walk in faith in greater ways. And I am increasing your discernment as you seek Me in humility and reverence to see what is happening in the spiritual realms at the gates. For there are some of you who have been looking to the natural for explanations of the battles, but I say unto you, that as you look to Me and seek Me, I am revealing the spiritual reality of what is taking place at these gates. 

'As you lean into Me and listen, and seek Me in humility; you shall receive My wisdom and strategy, you shall be led by My Spirit in prayer, intercession and declaration to align with My Word to OVERCOME that which has been attempting to overcome you. I say unto you, that this battle at the gates that many of you are facing is attempting to stop you from moving into that which I have for you. But it is bigger than you realise, My daughters. The enemy has been attempting to keep you from moving through the gates because the enemy is terrified of you walking in your authority. But I am also raising you up in this hour to see Me come through you, as the King of Glory (Psalm 24), in ways you have never seen. 

'I say unto you, My daughters, do not bow to these giants. Guard your gates. Guard your eyes, guard your mouths, guard your hearts, guard your minds. For the enemy is seeking to come and to shake you, sift you and cause you to run from that which I am calling you to. I say unto you, be aware of the schemes of the enemy coming against you with intense fear. I say unto you, that where a spirit of fear has been coming against you strongly in this hour, I say unto you, that I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (2 Tim 1:7). And in this hour, as you continue to lean into Me and sit at My feet, I am raising you up in a spirit of boldness and strength that you have not walked in before.

'I declare over you today, My daughters, that your days of hiding, your days of intimidation, your days of insecurity are being done away with in this season – as you continue to lean deeply into Me and into My heart and I continue to awaken you to who you are in Me. For the enemy has come ferociously against your identity and he has ferociously come against what you carry. But I say unto you, I am healing you, I am strengthening you, and I am causing you to arise in your original design in Me and your purpose and assignment with boldness in Me.

'I say unto you, My daughters, do not stay silent at the gates. Now is the time to use your voice in greater ways. Do not stop speaking that which I am speaking. I say unto you, do not give the enemy a foothold through the words you are speaking and aligning with. I am raising you up in this hour to use your voice, and to recognise My voice and My authority through you. I say unto you, as you arise and speak to the giants at the gates, you are going to begin to see them be shaken and removed by My Word through your mouth. 

'Watch the power of My Spirit manifest through the declaration flowing from your mouth that is full of My Word. Speak and pray My Word and do not move, and you will see the giants moved. Do not entertain the insecurities, the lies, the accusations that have come against you so intensely, but rehearse My rhema and what I am speaking to you. Do NOT be silent at the gate.

'I say unto you, you are moving into a time of greater convergence. I say unto you, that you are moving into a time of greater convergence in Me; of reclaiming, repossessing and occupying the new that I have for you. I will cause you to move into new pioneering pathways, while reaping the spoils of the previous battles and occupying the territories again that the enemy chased you out of.

'I say unto you, My daughters, where the giants have come against you for season after season that has seen many of you feel like you cannot go on – some have run and hidden, some have given up, some have remained but are weary – I say unto you, My fresh wind and second wind is blowing over you to refresh and restore you. And I say unto you, that where the giants came to try and kill you, I am now raising you up as My GIANT KILLERS. My daughters, I am bringing you further into the place of understanding and manifestation of living in ASCENDED AUTHORITY. 

'Do not bow to the giants. Arise! You're coming up higher in understanding of what it is to live in ascended authority. Above the noise, above the storm, above the natural realm– FROM your seat. These gates that the giants are guarding are the gates into new places and what I have for you in this season that will see you truly arise in your governmental authority in Me in greater ways, to see My Glory and Kingdom come. Watch the increase of My Spirit through you to heal, deliver and set free. Watch My Gospel go forth through you, and signs and wonders accompany you as you believe (Mark 16:17).'
