Time Is Speeding Up - Think About It. Again. Steve Martin, Love For His People ministry
Time Is Speeding Up
- Think About It. Again.
by Steve Martin
On Oct.
15, 2015, I wrote this Now Think On This message. The Lord had
been speaking to me about how, from our perspective, time seemed to be
drastically speeding up. As a matter of fact, it is as He said it would be in the prophet
Daniel’s book of the Bible.
Consider
that since that time four years ago, we have seen events – both in the natural
and spiritual realms – quickly increase as to how fast something is “put out there”
and so quickly, rather easily, so accepted by the people in the nations.
No longer
is much thought given to what is spoken by anyone, before it is blasted across
social media, and accepted as the “gospel truth.”
Again,
even as the Bible prophesied that it would.
Read my message again. Time is speeding up. We, as the people of God, must be on His timetable
and walk in step with His Holy Spirit.
Shalom,
Steve

Time Is Speeding Up
- Now Think On This
by Steve Martin
I sense
the Lord is speaking loudly, to those with ears to hear, of His prophetic timetable.
Time is speeding up. At least it is as we would experience it, in our natural state
of being. He has set in motion from the beginning of time is falling into
place, piece by piece, much quicker than what we may have anticipated. If we are
not looking to Him we will certainly miss it. When He came the first time, even
His own people missed that coming. We must be alert to prepare for His Second
Coming.
The
watchmen on the wall are seeing it. They are observing the obvious signs in the
heavens and witnessing the movement of His Spirit on the earth. They are proclaiming
His Word to those who would stop to listen. Without fear of ridicule,
obstruction or rejection, from those who would have their own agendas, these
watchmen are proclaiming obediently.
The first
years of Jesus’ ministry walk on this planet were met severely by the
religious, the self-proclaiming righteous ones. We would be naive to expect anything
less from these in our days as He prepares for His Second Coming.
Yeshua (Jesus)
continues to proceed in completion of this phase which had already been planned
for the inhabitants of the earth. From the beginning of creation, God the Father has
determined these times. His Only Son Himself proclaimed it in Matthew 24 and
Luke 21.
This rapid increase in the fulfillment of prophesied events right before our eyes is because He has set those prophetic signs in sequential order, one after another, as we draw near to His appointed hour. More prophetic words, spoken and recorded long ago by those moved by His Holy Spirit, is being witnessed in our day at an incredible rate. It is time for them to be fulfilled, as written.
He is calling His Bride, the believers consisting of Jews and Gentiles saved in all the nations, to be ready and faithful to join Him in the outlay of His plans. We are to hear and obey and walk with Him in the process.
I hear
it. I believe it. It is happening.
If we are
to be in tune with His purposes, we must take the needed time to seek His face.
It is vital. We must allow His Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, to open our
understanding and see prophecy being fulfilled. That which is to occur in the
end times, prophesied centuries ago, is happening now, faster than many would
have expected. We cannot miss it this go around as His own people did the first
time He came.
“Moreover, dear friends, do not ignore this: with the Lord, one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, he is patient with you; for it is not his purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from his sins. However, the Day of the Lord will come “like a thief.” On that Day the heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will melt and disintegrate, and the earth and everything in it will be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:8-10 Complete Jewish Bible)
The Lord
is pushing forward with His plans and purposes. He wants all that will be saved
to come to the knowledge of His Gospel, the Good News. God the Father is
getting excited about presenting to His Son, Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach,
His long-awaited Bride, the Body of Messiah. This is one reason why time, as we
know it, is being accelerated without hesitation.
In
2003 I received a prophetic indication of this quickening when the Lord woke
me up a few hours after I had gone to bed. Following are some excerpts from my
book, “Prophetic Stories – Signs Along the Way” (Amazon $5.99, Martin Lighthouse
Publishing, 2014) of that time. It involved me
driving over to the former Heritage USA/PTL Network property late at night. The
vacated 2000 acres of land was still lying barren and in ruin. During my
obedience in action, I received a word from the Lord during that drive. (You
can read that whole chapter following this message.)
“On Oct. 21, 2003, I felt the
Lord had me leave my home (a weekday night) in southern Pineville, NC, and head
into town. He has had me go on these
trips before, where I have the sense to get in my vehicle and “go”, and then
trust the Holy Spirit to guide me.
Sometimes it is early morning. Sometimes late at night. Normally I go to bed at 9 pm, so for me to be
up at 11:00 p.m. was not the norm.”
“At 12:05 a.m. I completed the
first circular lap of the road that I could drive on. I had weaved past The Barn, with its roof
caved in and the interior having been flooded many times by indoor and outdoor
waters; past the Upper Room, also left as it was on its last day, back in 1997.
Then it was used for crying out to the Lord for His revival and intervention but left alone in utter quietness over these many desolate years. I drove past
the stark and empty amphitheater and through the former campground.”
“Again I proclaimed, “Restore
the land to Your people!” seven times. I
then called the Derek Prince Ministries office at 12:08 a.m. on my cell phone
and left a message on my desk phone, just to have confirmation that I was
actually doing this. (My personal
assistant would check my messages the next day and confirm this.)
Then the Lord gave me further
instructions. “Drive around the perimeter six more times, for a total of seven
times.” And so I heard and obeyed.”
“As I drove the 3rd
time, I continually prayed in tongues, as I had throughout the first two laps.
I completed this round at 12:17 a.m., noting that each trip was 2.2 miles in
length on my odometer. I also noted, as I wrote on the purple 3” x 6” paper
sheets I had available to scribble on, that the Lord spoke again to “Speed up”
when I took the next lap. He said He was
“Speeding up His timetable.”
Often the Lord will use signs to help in our spiritual understanding.
In this instance, He was giving me an understood picture of what He was already
doing on the earth.
Prophetic proclamations made by the prophets Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and others have always pointed to this end-time when the rapid fulfillment of
the Lord’s time table would begin to occur. Under the inspiration of the Holy
Spirit, with acute accuracy they prophesied of the Messiah’s first coming, that
of the Suffering Servant and the Lamb of God. Those words were completely
fulfilled by Yeshua (Jesus).
These appointed men of God also prophesied of what would take place
before His return. I believe we will be the ones to see those words fulfilled,
and see Him when He comes again, riding triumphantly on His white horse,
leading the armies of the heavens. This time the world will see Him clearly as
the Lion of Judah. They will have their smartphones tuned into the news
channel.
The key prophetic proclamation, that launched this end time table, was
written in Scripture and fulfilled on May 14, 1948. That was when the nation of
Israel was born in a single day.
“Whoever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Is a
country born in one day? Is a nation brought forth all at once? For as soon as
Tziyon (Zion) went into labor, she
brought forth her children.” Isaiah 66:8 Complete Jewish Bible
The Jews had been brought back to their rightful land supernaturally.
The prophetic clock began to advance in 1948, beginning the final count down to
the moment of Yeshua HaMashiach’s (Jesus Christ) Second Coming.
As the Jews were being regathered to their Promised Land, from the many
nations where they had been scattered after the fall of the Second Temple in 70
A.D., time after time His protection became a witness to them. Through the
centuries, though persecuted almost to non-existence, He has kept a remnant for
His Name. In the major wars that followed since 1948, as the surrounding Arab
nations sought to continually destroy this infant country, their Messiah rose
to their defense. He continues steadfastly to this day in keeping them under His
wings.
We are witnessing in our lifetime God’s promises coming to fruition. He
is excitedly looking forward to the time when He will present the prepared Bride,
the Body of Christ, to His Only Son, Yeshua HaMashiach. It
will be another prophetic fulfillment that will bless the Father’s heart.
Time as we know it is speeding up. Hang on for the ride, and be ready.
Be continually about the Father’s business, while He takes care of yours.

Heritage
USA & the Prophetic Drive
“Then I arose in the night...and went out by
night…” (Nehemiah 2:12-13)“Let us
hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is
faithful.” (Hebrews 10:23)
On Oct. 21, 2003, I felt the Lord had me leave my home (a weekday
night) in southern Pineville, NC, and head into town. He has had me go on these trips before, where
I have the sense to get in my vehicle and “go”, and then trust the Holy Spirit
to guide me. Sometimes it is early
morning. Sometimes late at night.
Normally I go to bed at 9 pm, so for me to be up at 11:00 p.m. was not
the norm.
After I had headed up Lancaster Hwy. (old Hwy. 521), I made the turn
onto Hwy. 51, and headed west. By this
time I had the sense that I was being directed to go to the former Heritage USA
(PTL) the property, which I had done so many times before. It is literally three
miles from our house, as the crow flies. (Or the eagle, if you like real good
prophetic symbols!)
As I approached the entrance onto the former land, now known as Regent
Park, I wasn’t paying as close attention as I should have, and actually passed
the main entrance. When I became aware
of missing it, I continued onto the All Nations Church property, which was
about two miles or so further east. I
drove to its entrance. As I sat in my truck, praying in tongues, I felt the
Lord say the building they were wanting to construct over the past three years
(since 2001) hadn’t progressed
because they were trying to put it in the wrong location on that former
Heritage USA Fort Hope land.
I made a call to the ANC office and left a message on the current
administrator’s phone, sharing my belief.
(He later confirmed that a month earlier the decision had been made by
them that the building was to go in the area I had specified in my call.)
I then returned to the other Heritage USA entrance, on Hwy. 160,
arriving at 11:58 p.m. After I crossed
the railroad tracks onto the main part of the former Christian retreat center,
I sensed that I was to drive around the perimeter road. I knew that was
permissible. Again interceding in my prayer language, I knew I was imploring
the Lord for the land to be put back in the hands of His believers. I had expected to make only one trip around,
even as Nehemiah had done when he approached ancient Jerusalem and saw the
walls in ruin.
At 12:00 a.m. I had driven to the backside of the property, near what
was then called The Studio. I believe it still is. I knew this property well,
even in the dark. Because I had invested $3000 in lifetime memberships in 1985
(two for my family and one for a family in Fort Lauderdale, who now actually
live in the Charlotte area) I had often “scouted out my land.” To this day I
still have a big, 20-pound granite rock that I had “picked up” in 2004, that
now sits on the floor in our new “history room” in our house.
Also while on staff at All Nations Church/Mahesh Chavda Ministries, as
the administrator, we held several conferences on this property. In fact,
little did we know at the time, we held the very last conference on the former
PTL grounds before it completely shut down – that being in November 1997, in
“The Barn”. The entire place finally
closed down at the end of that month.
The property had been in disuse since, apart from the Kingsway
(NarroWay) Christian outdoor plays in the amphitheater and their dinner theatre
in The Studio. (In 2004 MorningStar bought 52 acres of the property, including
the former Grand Hotel.)
While I sat in my ’99 Chevy S-10 “pick-‘em-up” truck, praying and
interceding, I was instructed by the Lord to proclaim “Return seven times what
was stolen!” Maybe even as Nehemiah himself may have spoken as he sat on his
horse, looking at the walls under the moonlit sky, seeking the Lord’s command
and purpose for Jerusalem. The enemies
of the Lord had destroyed that city prior to his days. Now these grounds had
also been vacant and falling further into destruction, for over six years now
(when I originally wrote this in 2003.). Fallen apart, as if left for dead. Even
as Rick Joyner had prophesized in that small blue book he wrote in 1988 on
prophetic words.
At 12:05 a.m. I completed the first circular lap of the road that I
could drive on. I had weaved past The
Barn, with its roof, caved in and the interior having been flooded many times by
indoor and outdoor waters; past the Upper Room, also left as it was on its last
day, back in 1997. Then it was used for crying out to the Lord for His revival
and intervention but left alone in utter quietness over these many desolate
years. I drove past the stark and empty amphitheater and through the former
campground.
(Sidebar: My dad, Louis Martin,
in 1998-1999, helped re-wire the outdoor, half-moon facility of the former home
of the Passion Play. My son Ben has now set up a great memorabilia display off
Main Street in the Grand Hotel of Heritage International Ministries. Go check
it out! Jim Bakker did, and loves it!)
I then made a left turn at the stop sign posted at the edge of the
campgrounds and drove past the only burnt evergreen tree stump, located just
under the walkway overpass, on the right side of the road.
Back in 1997, I had conducted
a Martin family reunion here on these grounds near Charlotte, over the 4th
of July weekend. An errant bottle rocket, lit and fired by this writer, didn’t
quite perform the projection that I had anticipated and hoped for, landing the
fire piece instead of in the top of the evergreen tree. It quickly made a Roman
candle out of that once-living creation! (I have my entire Martin family as
witnesses too!) With ineffective efforts
on our part to put it out, with very little time to do otherwise, it didn’t
keep the tree from burning rapidly to within one foot of the ground. For years
only the charred stump remained, as a testimony to my unskilled method of
shooting off bottle fire rockets. (Sidebar: And as of the last time I checked,
it still stands as another memorial, to this very day!)
At that time, knowing that
control of this land was heading into a direction that many desired it wouldn’t
go, including myself, I spoke under my breath, after all of this extra 4th
of July added excitement had leveled off. “Well, if we (believers) can’t have
this land, no one will!”
I then turned my six-cylinder around and drove back to the original intersection of the starting point (now known as Regent Blvd. and Starlight),
where I stopped momentarily.
Again I proclaimed, “Restore the land to Your people!” seven
times. I then called the Derek Prince
Ministries office at 12:08 a.m. on my cell phone and left a message on my desk
phone, just to have confirmation that I was actually doing this. (My personal assistant would check my
messages the next day.)
Then the Lord gave me further instructions. “Drive around the perimeter
six more times, for a total of seven times.” And so I heard and obeyed.
At 12:12 a.m. I completed the 2nd encircling of the land,
and spoke out to “Restore the widow’s mite!”
As I drove the 3rd time, I continually prayed in tongues, as
I had throughout the first two laps. I completed this round at 12:17 a.m.,
noting that each trip was 2.2 miles in length on my odometer. I also noted, as
I wrote on the purple 3” x 6” paper sheets I had available to scribble on, that
the Lord spoke again to “Speed up” when I took the next lap. He said He was “Speeding up His timetable.”
The narrow roadway reminded me of a NASCAR road course, and it was no
easy task to drive the dark, broken blacktop at 35 - 40 mph. (No speed limit signs were posted! I felt
like I could have taken on #24 Jeff Gordon at that time!) J
At 12:23 a.m. I finished the 4th round.
At 12:24 a.m. I started the 5th lap, and completed it at
12:28 a.m.
At 12:29 a.m. I started the 6th lap, and finished it at
12:33 a.m. Each time I grew bolder in my
driving. (Yes, I would have beaten Jeff Gordon in this race! But kids, don’t always do what your father does!)
At 12:34 a.m. I started the 7th and final lap, completing
the course at 12:38 a.m. I had driven my
4 x 4 at a speed of up to 50 mph on the “straightaway”, which was rather short
on the back stretch, which crossed the parking lot, just before passing The
Studio on the right.
The total mileage traveled for the seven laps was 15.4 miles on my
odometer.
At 12:40 a.m. I again called my office and left a message for my
personal assistant, recording what I had just done.
Upon completion of this divinely assigned task, on my way out of this
2000 acre property, I headed towards the other entrance. That would take me by
the former World Outreach Center, or commonly known as “The Pyramid”, back in
the day. All Nations Church/Mahesh
Chavda Ministries had seriously considered leasing this building in 1998, for a
church, conference and office facility. I had spoken of this possible
commitment to the five Malaysian owners’ administrator of Regent. But to no
avail.
(Sidebar: And for the record, I
saw Jim Bakker’s famous, so-called “golden bathroom faucets”, on the very top
floor of the building. From my observation, they were simply better hardware,
which could have been found in Lowes, or anywhere else. Why the big issue made
at that time in 1987? Just more lies printed and spoken in the media, as
usual.)
At 12:42 a.m. I pulled up in front of the pyramid. I then felt led to
run my Chevy truck around the flag pole that was located in front of what was
then a Laura Ashley administration office, doing this encirclement seven times.
(Remember, I originally wrote this act
back in 2003. Being it is now Dec. 2010 that I am sharing this publicly, that
makes it just over seven years ago.)
I finished at 12:43 a.m., quite dizzy, having driven my good ‘ole girl
as fast as I could for those very tight laps.
I arrived back home at 1:04 a.m., knowing that 5:00 a.m. came early.
The alarm clocks of Laurie and I had, as usual, been set for that scheduled normal
“wake-up” time.
And now back to the future, as history has again shown, the Lord had
preserved this land for His purposes. What the enemy had indeed stolen was
returned to His people! And I give special heartfelt thanks to Rick Joyner, the
past and current Morningstar Fellowship staff, and to so many others who have
given of themselves, with long persevering efforts in the natural and spiritual
realms, to bring restoration “to these walls.”
(Sidebar: Even the Upper Room has
been restored too, for prayer and worship times for many.)
May the same restoration be brought forth in Jerusalem, and in the
rightful owners of that entire Promised Land of Israel - the
Jewish people.
On January 7, 2011 Laurie and I began to
lead the new Beit Tikvah (“House of Hope” in Hebrew) Friday night meetings at Antioch
International Church (Pastors Peter Wyns and Jesse Enns), located within a
stone’s throw of where the King’s Castle was located, since torn down.
In April 2014, Christians For Messiah Ministries (with the main tenant as Antioch International
Church) bought the former Heritage USA/PTL Barn, the Studio, the former Heritage
Church School building, plus 16 acres of land. Prophetic words and prayers
answered!
This special anointed land, with Heritage
International Ministries and several others on it, is further fulfillment of
the many prophetic words spoken over these past 34 years. Having been
undergirded by the prayers of countless aged saints (and some not as fine wined
yet), His promises continue to be fulfilled.
The Lord is faithful!

Twenty years ago today my Dad (pictured in the photo, bottom right, with his two older sisters Esther Martin Lyons and Jean Martin Schultz, and his older brother, Bill Martin) went to heaven, after having lymphoma cancer. He would have been 70 three days later.
Mom (Lila Martin Parker) and Dad had moved here in Charlotte, North Carolina just 4 years prior, from Cedar Falls, Iowa, to be with several of the 8 kids who then lived here, and to assist me with the ministry I worked with at the time. Being a "do-whatever-it-takes" kind of guy, and knowing much of the construction and electrical trade, he was quite the one to have around.
I remember one specific time when he and I took out the horse barn doors in that barn to make the place into a House of the Lord at All Nations Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Also the time he worked on the Heritage USA amphitheater in Fort Mill, South Carolina, upgrading the electrical wiring, so the show could go on - "The Passion Play." (That same piece of ground is just a few hundred yards where I now work at Antioch International Church.)
Dad was a hard worker, often more than 60 hours a week with his maintenance job at Viking Pump Foundry in Cedar Falls, and his own electrical business called Martin Electrical Services. He would rewire churches at no cost to them.
He did not say a whole lot. Most often what he did was enough to show his concerns for being responsible, diligent, and providing for his family - Mom and the 8 kids.
I know Dad is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ now. He professed faith in the Lord after a Bill Gaither Trio concert. Maybe he did before he reached 50, but at least at that time, it was for certain.
Thank you, Lord, for my Dad. He was a true example to me!
With my love,
Steve

For the word will come to pass...
May 22, 2019
As I reviewed emails, documents, and other items recently, that I keep for such a time as this, I found this email dated August 5, 2004, that I sent to a friend of Laurie and mine who was living in Texas, whom we had known since our days in Fort Lauderdale together in 1988-1990. We had since moved onto Charlotte, North Carolina, while she had moved to the Lone Star State.
I believe in the Lord's move in our lives and His prophetic destinies that He gives each of us. We need to be watching and aware of them.
While we know in part at one time in our life timeline, in due time He reveals His plan that we are to walk in and walk out. Each of us can know His will, and be in the center of it if we choose to seek Him continually, day by day.
Though I never worked at Morningstar, as I had desired and written in the email, Laurie and I were members of the congregation for several years.
Now, since May 1, 2018, Laurie and I are back at Antioch International Church in Fort Mill, South Carolina, on the former Heritage USA/PTL grounds also. On Oct. 1, 2018, I have been on the staff of the congregation which now meets within the church building.
As the Lord had already planned, AIC occupies another of the main buildings built by Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker in the early 1980's - The Barn and Studio (location of the PTL Show).
Christians For Messiah Ministries, founded by Dr. Peter Wyns, bought the property complex on April 24, 2014. I was a member of his board at that time. This June 2019 we will celebrate the 5th year of Antioch International Church's congregation calling the place "home". (Come join us by the way! Details at www.aicchurch.com)
As you read this copy of the email below you can see how the Lord does speak, and moves, in our lives. Be encouraged as He does in yours also, knowingly or unknowingly.
Ahava and shalom,

ANC - All Nations Church with Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda - now is on the Heritage USA land formerly known as "Fort Hope". The dream I wrote about was actually in reference to the land the ANC church bought on the east side of what is now Ballantyne (Charlotte, NC). It was formerly The Lamb's Chapel, a ministry of Harry & Louise Bizzell, off Providence Road West and Community House Road in SE Charlotte. Now it is apartment buildings and single-family homes.
You can read all about these times in history in my books, "The Promise" and "Prophetic Stories - Signs Along the Way". Both on Amazon in paperback and Kindle. See below.

Throughout our lives, God keeps His hand on our shoulders and nudges us on to more than what we could ever realize. I am excited to share how He did it this with me, and am confident mine will be a story you’ll be able to relate to.
As I unveil my story, think back to those times when you knew there was some¬thing more but you just couldn’t put your finger on it. You knew deep down that life wasn’t what the TV sitcoms portrayed it to be. In our souls, there is the hope, the cry for more, that someday questions will be answered and promises fulfilled if we just kept plugging away at what we know to do.
In The Promise, I share my 40-year journey with you and show you that dreams do come true. Though Peter Pan isn’t real, the Lord, the One Who created us, certainly is, and He has a plan in place for each one of us. When you are done reading this story, my prayer is that you too will know more of that good plan and His purpose for you.

We are living in the last days, the times prophesied long ago, right before the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach returns. Even as He spoke to the prophets of old in Israel, continuing through Jesus’ time on earth, and with the early church, the Lord is fulfilling His promise. His Eternal Word that He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh, and we would prophesy. Prophesy comes in many ways – through the spoken word, signs, dreams, visions, tongues. All are used by the Lord to speak to His people, give them guidance along the way, and show His provision for the plans He has for us.
As we walk along His path chosen for us, He desires to encourage and reveal His plans to us. He most certainly uses His Written Word. He also uses prophetic words. Here are a few that He has given to me. I am continually amazed at how He speaks, how He directs, and the assuring results of His guidance. We need the gifts of the Holy Spirit operating in these times.
As the Bible says, He desires that all would prophesy, in order to assist believers in knowing His will, and speaking to non-believers that we serve an All-Knowing God, Who shows us the way. The gifts of prophesy, seeing signs and wonders, and experiencing His love through His fascinating methods is for all. I hope you are encouraged in seeking Him as you read these stores of how He moved in my life.
