"Hadassah" - new message by Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry

 

Photo taken during one of the many times I stayed with Nissim and Hadassah Lerner in their Givat Ze'ev home just north of Jerusalem. We set the camera up at the end of the table and captured a timed photo. Hadassah is now dancung with her Messiah, Yeshua, as of Aug. 16, 2025. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Hadassah Lerner as a freatured speaker at our Love For His People  "Aliyah For His People" conference in Charlotte, North Carolina 2020 Hadassah loved to drive. On one our our several trips into Jerusalem over the years. #Hadassah #HadassahLerner #SteveMartin #LoveForHisPeopleMinistry #Israel #NissimLerner #Gentiles #Jews #Aliyah #HisLighthouse Hadassah    “Praised be God, Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who, in keeping with his great mercy, has caused us, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah from the dead, to be born again to a living hope, to an inheritance that cannot decay, spoil or fade, kept safe for you in heaven.” 1 Peter 1:2-4, Complete Jewish Bible     “You will always have a place to stay with us,” Hadassah told me when I last lodged at their housing in Givat Ze’ev, about 5 miles north of Jerusalem in Israel. Nissim and Hadassah were just that way. They opened their 3-bedroom home to those making Aliyah (immigration as Jews) from the nations, and Gentiles like me who came to bless Israel and the His chosen people. Originally known as Margaret and John Lerner, they had lived in Norfolk, Virginia, before themselves taking their five children to the Land given to the Jews. With new names and big hearts, decades later they formed His Lighthouse. This ministry had open doors and open arms to all people coming to Israel. When I came from Charlotte, North Carolina, the first time to their home in 2013, they hardly knew me. Facebook friends sometimes do become real ones in the flesh. But their passion and my passion joined together for His plans and purposes. Hadassah would take the time to show me all around Jerusalem. She’d have an answer, or get one, for every WhatsApp question I sent her way. They both were so encouraging in allowing me to use their place as a launching pad, for what the Lord was laying as a foundation in my life, and for future plans He was preparing for me and others in Israel. I and so many more will miss Hadassah. On Aug. 16, 2025, after a year-long battle with cancer (chemo, radiation, and surgery), the Lord Yeshua called her to her heavenly home, to her great reward. My good wife Laurie last saw her in April 2025 in Haifa. David Peterman and I were with her and Nissim in their home in May 2025. She went to glory three months later. Most likely her front door has a sign on it saying, “All are welcome. Come on in.”    Ahava and Shalom,   Steve Martin   P.S. With Laurie and my upcoming volunteering in Jerusalem, Israel, with Christian Friends of Israel for three months, Oct. 15, 2025 – Jan. 12, 2026, He has indeed prepared for us the way. For many years He has given us good friends living there, such as Hadassah Lerner was, and Nissim continues to be.   Read all about it: Steve & Laurie - Time Coming for Jerusalem Volunteers.    We welcome your prayers and support as we together bless Israel and His people in their Land.   Contributions are welcome online by clicking here on our webpage, when you look for the little DONATE button on each side column, Love For His People uses. DONATE HERE.   Are you new to these messages, or has another shared them with you?

Love For His People, Steve Martin - Update Oct. 29, 2017

October 29, 2017 Greetings to you my friends from Love For His People here in beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina. This past week I wrote Now Think On This - "Multi-ALL", and recorded a corresponding Arms of Love video message of the same. I was amazed at the number who saw, read and heard it. We need a bit of wisdom, understanding, and practical love in all this mess around us, wouldn't you agree? I believe I have some to speak - from that which lies under my gray hairs, and within my enlarging heart of His love. Please read the messages shared from our Love For His People directors and friends from Jerusalem, Pakistan and Nigeria. As the Lord expands our tents of influence, we know He is looking to connect His worldwide Body together for the plans and purposes He is revealing in our midst. Above all, ahava and shalom to you this week! (My last days before "secular" retirement have finally come!) Steve Martin Founder Love For His People, Inc.

Now Think On This Steve Martin

Multi-All! - by Steve Martin Being a light to the nations has to begin with how we join with each other - to be that which we have been called to be. Joining together black, white, Jew and Gentile, to be the Body of Messiah. Why else did the Creator choose to create all kinds that He has? And no wonder there are so many Chinese! The Lord Jesus loves them so much! When it comes to doing the right thing, the churches in our nations better be taking the lead. You want racism dealt with? Better have a multi-racial gathering Sunday mornings in your church. Want the Millennials to gain some wisdom, especially from the Golden Oldies (like me!)? Join together in church and small group gatherings. Looking for a place that, wow! Even Jews, Gentiles, and anyone in between (is there such a one?) celebrate life? Use our synagogues and churches as a place that all can worship the Living God of Israel together. (And no, there is no other god above Him.) I grew up in Waterloo, Iowa. Went to a parochial Catholic high school (Columbus High). Of the 1100 students from 9th-12th grade, there were many 15 black kids. Racial tension was often present, with the “West Side” and the “East Side”. But I was friends with at least half of them whom I personally knew. They were good kids.

V’ahavta  וְאָהַבְתָּ   ‘…And you shall love…’  Hadassah from Jerusalem

UP TO JERUSALEM! The Word tells us that the Temple is a house of prayer for all people! Not just Jewish people. It speaks of a day when all the Nations will come up for Sukkot: "Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths." Zechariah 14:16 Years ago, many Christians understood what this passage is all about and began to come up to Jerusalem NOW to celebrate. This year, 47,000 Christians visited during the Feast. The Jerusalem Parade is a highlight each year as Pilgrims, dressed in native costumes, armed with country flags and treats, march thru the city proclaiming their love and support of Israel and the Jewish people. We went to enjoy the parade with our grandchildren. Full Message: UP TO JERUSALEM!

Multi-ALL! - Arms of Love Video Message by Steve Martin

In order to fight the ungodly spirit of racism, the anti-Semitic overtures in many countries, and the young versus old culture that is blasted out from almost every front, believers need to be the ones to show it right, get it right, and do it right. If you haven’t got a friend who doesn’t look like you, talk like you, eat like you, or speak like you, then maybe it is about time you get one. That is the Plan He has set forth. Hear and obey what He knows and has desired since the day His family revealed themselves to us, as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Watch here: Multi-ALL!

Pastor Abel Oyewale, Abba Father Fellowship International Nigeria, West Africa

"So now, go, I am sending you to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt (Exodus) Eventually, the people of God (Israel) found themselves in Egypt according to God's declaration. Of course, He had gone ahead to prepare them and provide for their unstoppable release. He came down to sensitize and facilitate the unstoppable movement to the covenant Land. He appointed, empowered and commissioned the Leader (Moses) for the unstoppable journey. He raised up aides for Moses, fought all their battles and supplied all their needs on the road. Why? He was faithful to His covenant. The few losses they encountered on the road came about during the periods of disobedience.  The presence of God in the lives of His people is indispensable but can be sustained by total obedience.

Our world needs saving. The nations are in much turmoil, rage, anger, and lawlessness. Just keep watching the news and it is obvious that times are changing, and it is not changing for the good. It is happening just as the prophets spoke; just as Jesus (Yeshua) Himself said in Matthew 24 and Luke 21 as to how it would come about. The signs are all around us, forth-telling those exact events which would take place before the Lamb of God returns as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ, is the Messiah of Jews and Gentiles, for all who call upon His name for salvation. All indications are that He is coming back soon. While time is yet with us, and there is light among the growing darkness, we must work with His Holy Spirit to spread the Good News. This is the news of His salvation, which is available to any and all who come to Him, for freedom from sin, death, destruction and all evil. This salvation is found only in His saving Blood and through His sacrifice on the cross. He is so willing and loving to give His saving grace to all who call upon His Name. He alone is our salvation.
