Who Will Stand - message by Steve Martin

Who Will Stand?

 

“Comfort and keep comforting my people,” says your God.” (Isaiah 40:1, Complete Jewish Bible)

 

Many have heard my testimony of when Derek Prince, the Bible teacher whom I loved and worked for, planted the seed in my heart in 1978 on Mackinac Island, Michigan at a Christian conference. His message was clear. Christians have a debt to Israel and the Jews.

 

I will not repeat the story again here, for it is already in a few of my earlier books. But the Lord began revealing His heart to me as a believer back then of what I must do now.

 

The Jews have given us the Bible, the full truth, and the Messiah Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach. I owe them a debt.

 

If you know Jesus as your Savior and Lord, so do you.

 

When considering what has been done to the Jews “in the name of Christ,” it deeply saddens me, and I want to cry out in repentance. The Crusaders, the Hitlers, the antiSemitists of today – all have killed and continue to try and wipe out the entire Jewish population. Why? Because Satan hates the Lord’s chosen, and anyone who sides with them.

 

As they say, “first the Saturday people and then the Sunday people.”

 

All this evil is still ongoing today as many claim to be doing the “will of God.” And yet, they are actually working against our Lord and Savior Yeshua, who is still a Jew and loves His chosen people. (Recall Saul in Acts.)

 

Even as the Tuckers and the Candices spread further lies about Israel, the Jews, and Christian Zionists (I know whom I am siding with, to my dying day) there must be more of us willing to speak the truth. In boldness. In love. With the Holy Spirit’s power working in and through us.

 

These well-known “Christians” may not be saying “in the name of Christ” aloud, but they certainly are shouting it by other means.

 

God the Father is calling on Bible-believing Christians to bless His people, to lift them up, to comfort them as they return in prophetic fulfillment back here to Israel.

 

Myself, my wife, and many more are standing strong with the Jews. I personally can do nothing else but stand with them.

 

My prayer is that more Americans my age, and the next generation following, see the actual truth, speak the whole truth, and act on the truth revealed in the Bible. Blessing the Jews is a biblical promise with reward. (Genesis 12:3)

 

Will you be counted among those who the Lord will find standing on His side when He returns to Jerusalem?

Ahava and Shalom,
