"Be not unaware, friend." New message from Steve Martin, Love For His People

 

Sept. 10, 2025 Greetings to you once again. Trials come. Along with it battles that try to keep us from moving forward, or throw us off balance. Last week Laurie broke her ankle. The second time in a two months the enemy has come at her, as we prepare for our three month volunteer work in Israel. But we go on! Read my new message below, "Be Not Unware". "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15, NASB Ahava and Shalom, Steve Martin Love For His People Ministry P.S. Our next trip to Israel for Laurie and I is Oct. 15, 2025-Jan. 12, 2026. Please be praying for us.

Be Not Unaware   “For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our affliction which occurred in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.” 2 Corinthians 1:8, NASB     Battles come. Be prepared. Prayed up. Read up. Connected.   The believer’s walk is not easy. Whoever sang the song, “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden” sometime back may have been reading what Paul went through in his trials. Or what we go through as we seek to walk in the calling the Lord has given us.   In this life we have trials. Promised in the Bible. And yet the best is coming. Eternal life. But as we look to heaven, and the reward that awaits us, we must continue to walk on earth in faith, in assurance of His leading us.   God’s Word says that first the natural comes, and then the spiritual. “However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.” 1 Cor. 15:46, NASB   Watch Israel and the Jewish people and you will know what I am talking about.   I often wondered about the verse that speaks about “abundant life” found in John 10:10. “The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, life in its fullest measure.” (Complete Jewish Bible)   At times here on earth I don’t find it so abundantly. In fact, there are days I long to be where He is, seated in heavenly places and already there. Be true – so do you.   But until our appointed mission, the one we have been apprehended for has been completed, the grace, strength, willingness, hopefulness found only in the Lord Jesus, must remain strong. For He alone is the Faithful One, the Giver of Life, the One Who carries us on unto the end.   Be not unaware that our enemy continues to war against us. In many trials, temptations, discouragements, and roadblocks. But in the Lord, we have the victory, and He will see us to the end.   Phil Wickman, contemporary worship leader, sings it well. What An Awesome God!   Believe it and keep walking on. Press forward to the finish line!   Ahava (love) and Shalom (peace),   Steve Martin   P.S. Again. Battles come. Be prepared. Prayed up. Read up.

Pineville, North Carolina, USA Message #15 in my new series (2025): “Be Not Unaware" – Sept. 7, 2025

My latest book was published on Aug. 18, 2025. Love For His People" Steve Martin (444 pages, 372 photos/images) #1 on the Amazon New Releases List for "Jerusalem" In several of my previous 38 books, I wrote stories and chapters on Israel and our friends in the Land. Their lives, their courage, and the Ahava Adventures we have had, sharing our time with them in Eretz Israel. In my desire to share these stories with you in a more concise manner, I have chosen the “best ones” and included in this book, “Love For His People – The Land and Friends in Israel”. Having given almost 39 years so far (and this being my 39th book!) to loving and supporting the chosen people, as the Living God of Israel so ordained throughout the Bible of the Jewish people, it is proper and time. Sharing this book, containing some of my experiences in Jerusalem and all of Israel, is a joy, and also a promise to always stand with Israel. Buy now on Amazon, Hard cover $19.95, Paperback $15.99, Kindle $2.95 We certainly are grateful for your support, which we will use for our volunteer months in Jerusalem.
