Carry My Bags - Steve Martin message 

at Antioch International Church Men’s Breakfast, Fort Mill, SC (2 short videos)

July 12, 2025

These two video segments (they total just 8 minutes of the full 31-minute talk due to “technical difficulties”) are a part of my life in how the Lord led me to “carry His bags” and stand strong with Israel. (Part 2 is also 4:12 min.) 

Side note: I was later told that the full message was recorded, and I hope to get that up on this site real soon.

The Lord will lead us down a path we may not want to go on, but if we hear and obey...He will never lead us astray! Videos recorded by Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry, in Charlotte, North Carolina. We stand firm for Israel and His people the Jews.

Steve Martin - Part 2 video of my message is below this brief explanation.

The part “missing” in the message not recorded was how I had asked Mahesh Chavda, whom I had served with at that point for 13.5 years, if I could go with him on an international trip, and he answered, “What would you do? Carry my bags?”

The Lord told me then to go to Jerusalem and meet Him at the Western Wall. I went with Martin Berger, the Chavda England director, and we went to Jerusalem. I walked to the Wall from the Mount Zion Hotel, and when I stood at the Wall, I placed both hands on it.

The Holy Spirit came down like a waterfall, gushing down on me. I wept just as much. The Lord then said, “Your labor has not been in vain.” I then knew I was leaving All Nations Church and Mahesh Chavda Ministries.

Within 6 months, I had given my notice and left, having my job back at Derek Prince Ministries for 5 more years.

In 2003, Laurie and I participated in a DPM China outreach, distributing Derek’s Mandarin-Chinese translated books and Bibles throughout the Chinese mainland, concealed in our “tourists’ bags”. At stops along the 17-hour train ride, the books were passed on to underground Chinese Christians.

Upon reaching Beijing, we had a scheduled “tourist trip” to the Great Wall. It was at that point, on the bus, when Laurie leaned over to me and said, “The Holy Spirit spoke to me, and He said, “You can carry His bags.”

I knew exactly what He meant!

In 2004, following the successful DPM completed conference, which featured Barry & Batya Segal of Vision For Israel, Barry approached DPM’s International Executive Director, David Selby, to request that I join the staff as his USA Director.

In the first year of the next 5 years, I relocated the ministry office of Vision For Israel from Savannah to Charlotte, before leaving in 2010 to found Love For His People.
