Ahava Love Letter (#53) - "We Speak To Nations"


“We Speak To Nations”

“So I give thanks to you, Adonai, among the nations;
sing praises to Your name.” (2 Sam 22:50 CJB 
Complete Jewish Bible)

Dear family of friends,

When my good wife Laurie and I went to China in 2002, we were representing Derek Prince Ministries, along with a small USA group smuggling in Chinese Bibles and Derek's teaching books. These particular treasured nuggets had been translated into Mandarin Chinese. In my personal carry-on I had also brought along the latest Integrity Music's CD of the Month. 

The disc had just come in the mail a few days before we left on this adventurous journey, so I was as excited as ever to hear this new one. It had become the newest edition in my 14 year long subscription collection of Integrity's Hosanna! Music. (Thank you Michael Coleman for your leadership at Integrity!)

That specific praise and worship CD, then rotating in my portable player, was Lakewood's "We Speak To Nations". (IPods had just come out the year before. Steve Jobs' latest Apple big tech craving was a bit above my budget.) The title song was also "We Speak To Nations."





As I sat on the 22 hour train ride from Guangzhou to Beijing, I played this song over and over again. The repeat button just stay on. And during that literal full day stretch of time, the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) made sure the sound and words would sink deep into my spirit. I am grateful He did.

During those long hours on the tracks (both train and CD - pun intended) I literally had tears running down my face, while I sat listening with ear buds on. I didn’t want to awaken the others as they slept.

The sound of the nations was calling out to my heart.

We can speak to nations in many ways. These days it is primarily through social media. But even still, a main format can still be by singing, in person.




As worship leaders who love Jesus (Yeshua), and thus the nations, my wife and I are committed to sing in and to the nations. Our hearts and eyes are especially lazar focused on Israel, whom we especially love.

And...Lord willing too, we plan on taking the Ahava Love Band with us to Jerusalem in 2014 - to do just that – sing His praise and worship in Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel)!

Maybe there will be other locations the Lord will send us to, in addition, as we speak to nations.

Ahava (love in Hebrew) to my family of friends,

Steve Martin
Founder/President

"WE SPEAK TO NATIONS"

We Speak To Nations - Lakewood Church, featuring Israel Houghton

When my wife Laurie and I went to China in 2002, representing the USA staff of Derek Prince Ministries, and part of a small group smuggling Chinese Bibles and Derek's Mandarin Chinese translated teaching books, I had the latest Integrity Music's CD of the Month with me.

It had come in the mail just a few days before we left on this adventorous journey, so I was as excited as ever to hear it. (It had become the newest edition of my 14 year long subscription collection of Integrity's Hosanna! Music. Thank you Michael Coleman for your leadership at Integrity!)

That specific praise and worship CD, rotating in my portable player, was Lakewood's "We Speak To Nations". (IPods had just come out the year before. Steve Jobs' of Apple latest big tech craving was a bit above my budget.) The title song was also "We Speak To Nations."

Maybe there will be other nations the Lord will send us to after that.
