Steve Martin shares a message to encourage all those who have sought the Lord and found Him, after taking the journey He had prepared.
Entitled "Carry My Bags", this was given at the Antioch International Church in Fort Mill, South Carolina, during the July 2025 monthly Men's Breakfast meeting.
A part of my testimony includes working with eight ministries over the past 34 years. Three of them (Derek Prince Ministries, Mahesh & Bonnie Chavda Ministries, Vision For Israel with Barry & Batya Segal), together, had a profound impact on the Land and people of Israel, which helped build a solid foundation for the love of His Chosen ones, the Jewish people, in my heart.
The visual recording is off (with Steve's head cut off!), but the sound is good. I hope you are encouraged as you listen. Ahava and Shalom.

You can read the full account of this story, and many more, in my autobiography.
Throughout our lives, God keeps His hand on our shoulders and nudges us toward more than we could ever realize. I am excited to share how He did it 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 something 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 keep plugging away at what we know to do.
In The Promise, I share my first 40 years of journey with you and show you that dreams do come true. Though Peter Pan isn’t real, the Lord, the One Who created us, indeed is, and He has a plan in place for each one of us. When you have finished reading this story, I pray that you, too, will come to know more of God's good plan and His purpose for you.

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.
