"Mary Smith" - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
Mary Smith
“For I satisfy the
weary ones and refresh everyone who languishes." (Jeremiah 31:25, NASU)
The Lord is the God of
Refreshment. He alone can satisfy the soul, and the deep longing within each of
us, for more than what we can find apart from Him.
This is not my normal
Now Think On This message, but it is an important one. Please read the
following letter from one who happens to be my sister, Mary Smith, from
Charleston, South Carolina, and discover for yourself how the power of God, with her testimony, can,
and will further, bring life to you and others.
She sent it to Dr. Peter Wyns, Head Pastor of Antioch International Church, in Fort Mill, South Carolina, Pastors Jesse and Elizabeth Enns, and the staff.
Thank you, Mary Smith!

Dear Dr. Peter Wyns and staff,
It is with great joy I am writing to share
with you and your staff on how the Lord used your body to empower and stir up
my husband, Bob, and myself.
Last August a dear friend and I came to
visit Antioch with my brother Steve Martin and his wife Laurie, and just soaked in the
power and presence of the Lord. Speaking for myself I felt very dry for not
having a cooperate time of worship that was in “spirit and truth” for a very
long time. I went up for prayer with the prayer team and Ed and Suzanne Brigham
hit the mark when ministering to me. I felt so encouraged and loved.
My husband and I came back in the spring
and again we were filled with the anointing of God and a very strong stirring
in our spirits. Besides attending Sunday
AM service we came to the Friday evening cooperate worship time and entered in
with such gladness and joy. We went up for prayer and were ministered to by Ed
and Suzanne Brigham.
My brother Steve had had a dream about a
month earlier of Bob with a “serpent” after him and indeed we had been in
warfare, particularly with Bob’s business. Ed spoke to Bob “that the Lord was
cutting off the head of the serpent and empowering him in his walk with wisdom
and in his worship time.” WOW!! (Bob had been a former worship leader in
Charlotte and was just beginning to pick it up again and was about to be
leading a corporate prayer meeting lasting up to 5 hours.)
Bob & Mary Smith, Steve & Laurie Martin
Well after that quickening in our spirits,
Bob came back to Charleston and preached the best message he has ever given! I
have started having prophetic dreams and my discernment has taken on a new
level as well.
THEN I returned to the Women’s Conference
with Paul Wilbur. I have loved Israel for a long time under the teachings of
Derek Prince and have been blessed to have visited there twice with Steve. But
at this conference, a supernatural understanding came to me about the One New
Man.

I didn’t know what it was at first and
tried to explain it to Steve. I asked him with tears rolling down my face, what
am I supposed to do with this? (We are currently in a Baptist Church and the
Lord has given us favor there.) Steve said, “Share it.”
I was captivated with Paul Wilbur’s story
of what the Lord was doing during Shabbats in Florida and I loved hearing that
his wife was very involved in this. I came home and suggested to Bob we start
having Shabbats and invite people in and give them a “taste” of God’s feast and
we started in!
Since then we have had over 3 Shabbats in
our home (1 a month), and one Passover meal; each one here with over 9 people.
The largest has been 19! We set a “banquet” table each time with our best china
and crystal and really wanted to honor the Lord with our efforts. One meal we
had 3 churches represented. We had special guests in to share their love for
Israel and the response has been so encouraging with many wanting to know more.
I just finished the book “Israel’s Coming Revival” (Dr. Peter Wyns) and it is like starting all over in the Word, going
deeper into the truths the Lord is revealing to me.
It is still very hard for
me to put into words what He is revealing to me about the end times and our
place with Israel and the Church.
I am very thankful for Antioch, for you,
Peter, my loving brother Steve, Liz & Jesse, and the whole staff on their
love and commitment to serving God and His people.
Thank you so very much and we look forward
to all of our return visits and to the gathering in October with Paul Wilbur.
Love thru Christ,
Mary L Smith
With this testimony, and with what the Lord is doing in and through others, I encourage you today to give yourself afresh to His purposes today. I also would encourage you to read a recent testimony and prophetic word given to me, which I entitled, "The Baby is Being Birthed".
May you be refreshed today in your spirit, soul, and body,
through the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach. Purpose in your heart to do so, and see what He will do.

Strength For Israel monthly mtg. with David Peterman - Christians For Messiah Ministries and Antioch International Church - Fort Mill, SC
Strength For Israel with David Peterman
- Christians For Messiah Ministries and Antioch International Church, Fort Mill, SC
Dec. 1, 2018
Strength For Israel, under the leadership of David Peterman, celebrated the completion of its first full year today, in the Fireside Room at Antioch International Church in Fort Mill, SC.
Normally meeting on the first Friday night of every month, due to another event held in the room the night before, this gathering was moved to Saturday afternoon from 1:30 - 3:30 pm.
Sharing in Messianic songs of worship, Shabbat candles, challah bread, and grape juice, those in attendance blessed the Living God of Israel, Yeshua, and were taught a good word on mikvah (baptism) by David. There were some very interesting facts on Jewish culture, our Jewish roots as Christians, and how the Lord Jesus is moving among His people today.
It was a real joy leading the worship time with my new Taylor guitar. After almost seven years of not playing guitar nor leading worship over the past five, the Lord's resurrection in that desire of my heart was a real encouragement to me. I am grateful also for those who added to the Holy Spirit joy with tambourine, banana and orange shakers! We had fun!
If you are in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, come join us every 1st Friday of the month - 7 pm at Antioch Intl. Church, 8400 Regent Parkway, Fort Mill, SC.
We love blessing the Lord and receiving His blessing in return.
