“What A God” - message from Steve Martin

​

What A God

For the past year, ever since I first heard the song by SEU Worship (South East University in Lakeland, Florida) on XM’a channel “The Message”, I have been “addicted” to the worship song What A God.

Even while Laurie and I spent the three months October 2025-January 2026 volunteering in Jerusalem, I would listen to it early mornings around 5 am on the back mezzanine three floors up (and turned it up loud to drown out the Muslim’s “call to prayer” racket noise.)

And so it continues here in Dallas, Texas, on this month-long ministry tour with Sharon Sanders, co-founder of Christian Friends of Israel, and the team in the Lone Star State (just like Israel’s flag!).

I listen to “What a God” almost every morning.

If you too listen to the words, they simply state, “You are my everything.” Truth. For He is.

I miss my wife. I miss my family and friends. But as I hear and obey the call of the Lord on my life to share His love for the Jews and Israel, especially since anti-semitism has so dramatically risen and hatred spreads, as prophesied by Yeshua Himself, our God, the same One Whom is the Living God of Israel and His Chosen People, my friends the Jews, I know I am in His perfect will.

And I know how awesome our Lord, Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, is. What a God!!!

Be encouraged in your walk today. The Bible does say, “And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, NASB

As the world continues to turn away from life to darkness, we will continue to share the Words of Life and live with them. To life! L’chaim!

“If the highest place I reach is at Your feet, then I've done it all
If thе best thing that I've seen is Your glory, then I'vе seen it all
Your love has changed my life, forever satisfied
God, You are my everything.” (“ What A God“

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin

P.S. I have a pretty good playlist by the way.

Am Yisrael Chai

The phrase “Am Yisrael Chai” can be translated as “The People of Israel Live” or “The Nation of Israel Lives,” and has both Jewish and Zionist meanings. Today it’s also used as a patriotic phrase, as an equivalent of “Long Live Israel.”

The word “Chai” – meaning life, living, or alive – itself has a very special meaning and long history as a Jewish symbol.



Standing solid with our friends in Israel,

“No Christian could have said this better than Mr. Stein who is a Jew."

Ben Stein

“No Christian could have said this better than Mr. Stein who is a Jew. Beautiful. If you consider yourself a CHRISTIAN, READ IT, IF NOT, JUST DELETE IT AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW, EXCEPT MAYBE YOU! I only hope we find GOD again before it is too late." Jesse Calendar Nov. 29, 2012 Facebook

Editor's Note: This was reposted on Facebook following the assasination and martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry founder.

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

My confession:

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat...

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc.. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school... The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about.. And we said okay..

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit.

If not, then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

Lion of Judah Roars: His Name is Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach Hardcover – December 14, 2022

“Thus says the LORD, ‘I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’ Zechariah 8:1

Our Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, promised before He left earth the first time, from Jerusalem, Israel, that when He returns the second time it also will be to Jerusalem, the city that has His Name written on it. He is not returning to New York City, Moscow, Beijing, London, Paris, or Chicago.

He is returning, as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, to Jerusalem, the Golden City, the Holy City, the City of Truth.

The Lion of Judah is coming back, to rule and reign over the nations, setting up His kingdom, made up of Jews and Gentiles that have acknowledged His Kingship and know Him as their Redeemer, the Savior of their soul.

The following chapters speak of the life that we can live in the here and now, as we await His return. We are not looking for the “escape out of this hell”, raptured away before the Great Tribulation as we have been so falsely taught since the late 1890s.

Jesus Christ, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, is seated on His heavenly throne, but His soon return will be made known. Now is the time for us to see what He is doing, how He is doing it, and "get on board" as Bob Dylan sang in the 70s. We are working while there is still day, to accomplish His plan and purposes for our life and the nation He has placed us in now. Anticipate, prepare, be about the Father’s business, even as Jesus did.

That is what we are called to do. And then we will see the Lion of Judah ROAR!

Do you see the signs? Weekly message - Steve Martin, Love For His People

 

June 19, 2025 Greetings to you once again. “And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but are you unable to discern the signs of the times?" Matthew 16:3, NASB Each of us wants to know what the future holds. We even want to know what the weather is going to be like the next day. I like the FOX Weather app, which gives the 14-day forecast. (The local channel only shows 7 days. But they are not as big as the national broadcast channel.) The Lord knows our weaknesses and has promised to give us signs along the way to help us discern His path and walk on it. In 2014, I wrote the book, "Prophetic Stories - Signs Along the Way." It was amazing to see some of the prophetic ways the Lord directed me, and how He used signs to accomplish it. (You can order the book below. Only $5.99 on Amazon.) Please read this week's message, which I wrote, entitled "He Gives Us Signs," just below. Please also share this communication with others to encourage them. And I love responses. Please share some of your testimonies about how the Lord has led and continues to lead you, with an email response. Be blessed in all your blessings, Ahava and shalom,  Steve Martin Love For His People Ministry P.S. Today’s communication also includes a video of David Peterman and me after we returned from Israel on our May 2026 Ahava Adventure, and a "tour" of the Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem office. And of course, another surprise video.

Photo at the Jerusalem Zoo, in Jerusalem, Israel. Taken on May 6, 2017, by me, Steve Martin. I call it the "Lion of Judah". Yeshua HaMashicah - come quickly again. Our good friend Hadassah Lerner always took the time to give us "tours" of Israel when we went on previous trips. This is her with two friends on the Jerusalem Zoo bridge (Jerusalem, Israel) on May 6, 2017. Please pray for this mighty woman of the Lord, who currently battles health issues. He Gives Us Signs “So, Gideon said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who speak with me.” Judges 6:17, NASB   An excellent Bible teacher by the name of Bob Mumford, whom I first heard of during the “discipleship, shepherding, and commitment days” (for me, those were the years 1977-1994), had a book entitled Take Another Look at Guidance. A worthwhile read for those seeking to understand how our heavenly Father guides us in His ways and purposes for our individual lives. I have based many decisions on Mumford’s recommendations. If you're not inclined to check it out (but I highly recommend that you do), I'll help you. From Bible.org: Bob Mumford in Take Another Look at Guidance, compares discovering God’s will with a sea captain’s docking procedure: A certain harbor in Italy can be reached only by sailing up a narrow channel between dangerous rocks and shoals. Over the years, many ships have been wrecked, and navigation is hazardous. To guide the ships safely into port, three lights have been mounted on three huge poles in the harbor. When the three lights are perfectly lined up and seen as one, the ship can safely proceed up the narrow channel. If the pilot sees two or three lights, he knows he’s off course and in danger.   God has also provided three beacons to guide us. The same rules of navigation apply—the three lights must be lined up before it is safe for us to proceed. The three harbor lights of guidance are: 1. The Word of God (objective standard) 2. The Holy Spirit (subjective witness) 3. Circumstances (divine providence) Together, they assure us that the directions we’ve received are from God and will lead us safely along his way. - Gregory Asimakoupoulos Bob Mumford, Take Another Look at Guidance. Again, the three harbors’ lights are: the Word, the Holy Spirit, and circumstances. All throughout Scripture, from Adam to Moses to Gideon to Mary to those gathered in the Upper Room on Pentecost (on the Lord’s feast known as Shavuot), the Lord gave His people signs. Being He knows all, He certainly knows that sometimes things are not so apparent as He would hope they would be for us. I encourage you to seek the Lord in your daily decisions, to learn how He speaks, what He speaks, and when He speaks, so you too can more fully know of His plans and purposes for you. Do not be like those who missed the Messiah Yeshua HaMashiach, when He came the first time. Even though they looked for signs, they failed to see the One who was right before their eyes. “But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.” John 12:37, NASB And then again in Hebrews 2:3-4, Complete Jewish Bible, it reads: “…then how will we escape if we ignore such a great deliverance? This deliverance, which was first declared by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him; while God also bore witness to it with various signs, wonders and miracles, and with gifts of the Ruach HaKodesh which he distributed as he chose.” Be one who follows, even chases, after the Lord, to better know Him. There is so much that He wants to show you of Himself and how much He wants to give you guidance. Ahava and Shalom, Steve Martin P.S. I saw the “CFI truck sign” on Friday, June 13, 2025, as a good friend and I were driving north on I-77 from Rock Hill, SC, to Charlotte, NC. And so, I took the photo to share with others.   Message #3 in new series (2025): “He Gives Us Signs” June 15, 2025, 5:07 am in Charlotte, North Carolina Above photo: Beautiful birds at the Jerusalem Zoo, Israel.

My good friend David Peterman and I had this dialogue after our recent trip to Israel, May 4 to 14. We speak of the Lord's prophetic signs in our days, right now, as seen in His Land and among His chosen people, the Jews. The Living God of Israel lets us know that He is moving in the earth, as He calls out to us daily. The second video is the first of a 4-part recording when we went on a "tour" in the Jerusalem, Israel office of Christian Friends of Israel. I personally was amazed at what CFI Jerusalem has going on and has done in their 40 years of ministry among the Jews and Arabs of the Land. Watch the first one. It then leads to the others. (P.S. I served on the CFI-USA board for 14 years, under the leadership of Hannele Pardain, and this experience on the tour was beneficial.) And the third video (what a treat), recorded by me at the Christian Friends of Israel 40th ministry anniversary event in Charlotte, North Carolina, in May 2026, makes known the excellent new connection between Derek Prince Ministries and CFI-Jerusalem. Knowing Derek Prince when I was a staff member, this is special.

Dick Leggatt and Philip Wyns, Derek Prince Ministries, speak at the CFI 40th anniversary event.

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. The Lord uses all 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 stories of how He moved in my life. Steve Martin Buy now on Amazon PB $5.99, Kindle $1.99
