Time To Consider – The initial new message of my new series – Steve Martin, Love For His People ministry

July 4, 2020 Love For His People ministry in Charlotte, North Carolina USA

“Let whoever is wise observe these things and consider Adonai’s loving deeds.” Psalm 107:43. Complete Jewish Bible

As I sat on our Charlotte area front porch this morning, which I like to do often, the Lord spoke of a new season upon me. And He may just be speaking to you too about yours.

Now that specific word can be, or has already become, due to repeatedly a clique, an often-spoken word, that we just might easily dismiss. Somewhat like the words we have heard regarding prophecy in our gatherings, such as “God loves you.” (Prophecy #1 on the all-time list.) Or, “I am opening a new door for you.” (Great word! #3 on the list.) Or how about, “You need to repent.” (For some, that may have become #7 on the all-time prophetic words given these days.)

All are still true, no matter how much we have heard them, and most likely will hear again. The Lord still tries to get our attention often! One of the best ways to learn and retain what we hear is to repeat it often. As the great Bible teacher Derek Prince once said, or more than once, “Rote is the best teacher.” (Rote: mechanical or habitual repetition of something to be learned.)

Being the humans that we are, repetition seems to be quite necessary. Ever hear the same commercial over and over again??!! Rote!

And so, back to my message.

The Lord spoke of a new season upon me. And most likely for you too.

Because…we can’t stay in the same wine barrel forever. Just as they do in the Golan of Israel vineyards, after the grape juice sits in a barrel for a certain, measured, exact length of time, they pour it into another vessel. That leaves the old sediment behind, which can ruin the soon-to-be wine if left in the barrel too long. Stagnant. Impure. Bitter. (Ever get that feeling)

And then they do it again.

So, it is with us. If we are not going from season to season, from one adventure to another, it gets old really fast. We get ingrained with the mundane. We become accustomed to sitting on the fluffy couch (clique again!) and get annoyed when someone asks us to get up and do something.

Ok. That is just me.

This new message series, as the Lord is now moving me on from my previous ones, “Now Think On This”, a total of 522 messages started in October of 2010 after a return from Israel, is entitled “Time To Consider”.

It is time to consider your life, if you haven’t recently. It is time to consider even more so the life that Lord wants to give you, whether you have walked with him for 56 years (yeah!) or just getting started.

Whose life will you live? What life will you live? The one He created you for, or the one you have decided, in all your own wisdom and understanding, is the best? As the good doctor said, you know, Dr. Phil, “How is that working out for you?”

As the eternal Word of God says in Proverbs 24:12, “If you say, “See, we did not know this,” does He not consider it who weighs the hearts? And does He not know it who keeps your soul? And will He not render to man according to his work?” NASU

I like what Paul wrote of his life, “But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.” Acts 20:24, NASU

Take some time before the Lord to consider your ways. He will give you a response by speaking to you through His Holy Spirit.

Hear and obey. It is the only best way to live.

It is time to consider.

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin, Founder/President Love For His People ministry

#1 on an Amazon list! - Love For His People newsletter, Steve Martin

Dec. 8, 2019

Greetings friends of Love For His People ministry!

When I checked on my new book this morning on Amazon, "An Ahava Adventure - the Four Louis Brothers in Israel", to see if these days of Dec. 8-12, 2019 had the free Kindle version available for all, I was amazed to see it is listed #1 on new releases in Israel Travel Guides!

I had never considered it as that - an Israel travel guide. I just wanted to let people know of what the Lord is doing in the Land of Israel and the joy it was having four guys trek across the nation, meeting the friends Love For His People has been supporting for these past 10 years, while at the same time having an adventure with the men.

Thank you, Lord Jesus (Yeshua)! You will be lifted up and draw all men unto You.

With its 270 pages, 31 chapters and over 170 photos that I took in Israel (imagine that!), I think you will like it too as much as I did writing it since we got back Oct. 4, 2019.

Get the free Kindle version and also buy the paperback. Over 270 pages. Right on time for your Christmas, and the 8 days of Hanukkah, gift-giving. Imagine that...

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Gifts for all!

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin

Love For His People ministry – moving forward into our 10th year with you. For them.

Coming up to 10 years ago in June 2020, Steve Martin left the third ministry he had worked for in the past 24 years in order to providentially start a new ministry, co-founded by my good wife Laurie. The primary purpose is to bless our friends the Jews of Israel, and specifically the believers within the nation – those who have come to acknowledge that Yeshua is the Messiah, HaMashiach.

As non-Jews, Gentiles, goyim, Christian Zionists (whatever label we have!), we began the organization to stand strong for the Jewish state of Israel, Yisrael – the Land of Israel. In this world, with nations continually becoming more anti-Semitic daily, including our own USA, we have been called, as the prophetic word in 2004 was spoken over us, as a “scepter for Israel.”

Now Think On This

"Nouri - Jerusalem Taxi-Driver!"

by Steve Martin

"...When we got back to the corner of the street to get the other two guys and begin the day with them (by 10 am my day is typically well into the 6th or 7th hour), a taxi drove up and stopped in front of us.

“Nice shirt”, he said after rolling down his window.

Always one to strike up a conversation with another when in Israel, I replied, “Yes, I fully support our President, and know Israel does too. So, I like wearing t-shirts with Trump’s name on it.” This one read, “Trump 2020” emblazoned across my proud chest.

Then Nouri, whom I found to be a real delight the next four hours, first had David and me on a really nice trip to the Mount of Olives, overlooking the multitudes of Jewish graves on the mountain across from the Eastern Gate, before we came back and got Greg and Lathan."

He is a great guy, and guide! Read the rest here: "Nouri - Jerusalem Taxi-Driver!"

An Ahava Adventure - The Four Louis Brothers Trip To Israel - FREE Kindle download Dec. 8-12, 2019

by Steve Martin

Sometime during the latter part of those 10 days in October 2018, walking by myself down the ancient streets of Jerusalem’s Old City to visit friends and familiar sites; traversing the bustling sidewalks and side streets of the new portions since 1948 when Israel’s declared its independence as a nation once again; or riding the light rail train from Jaffa Street to the end-of-the-line drop off point, near the Yad Vashem’s (Holocaust Museum) entrance, the Holy Spirit spoke to me.

It was a clear word, though not audibly. But being His friend too, I knew it was Him.

“This is not your last trip to Jerusalem. In fact, from now on you will be coming twice a year.”

“I will?” I responded skeptically, internally. “And if so, then You are going to have to help me pay for it. I cannot.”

“You do as I say out of obedience. I will take care of the provision.”

He made sure I understood what He had just said, with a firm, “make sure you get this” response, but with plenty of hope, faith, and love covering His words."

Get all of it: 31 chapters and over 170 photos from Israel that I took.

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin
