“Direction. Get some.” New book by Steve Martin

Amazon for $5.95 paperback

In these times of the unexpected and the unknown, it is good to have the Solid Rock on which to stand. To have His direction, the Lord Jesus (Yeshua), and His Word is necessary for our lives these days.

Publishing life’s journey, for others to follow, has been a joy to share with you. This book contains some of what I have experienced.

A few of these messages were written while with the Christian Friends of Israel ministry team from Jerusalem; I have included them as they were sent out via email.

I hope you are blessed and encouraged, and that your walk with our Lord is strengthened in your reading time.

And…I included photos and images which I enjoyed taking and creating!

Home from Texas, Steve Martin

Home From Texas

June 30, 2026

Greetings once again. I am back home from my month-long Texas trip with Christian Friends of Israel. The plane landed in Charlotte at 11:30 pm Saturday the 27th and I was in bed at 1:07 am. Yeah Lord!

And…in time for my amazing wife’s birthday on Sunday the 28th. (She poked me in bed when I quietly got in.)

As you may have known in my “pre-trip” (no reference to a so-called rapture) messages, I was excited about going but apprehensive about the hours and miles of driving once in the BIG state of Texas.

Well, for the record, we did travel over 3,500 miles in 27 days. I accomplished over 3K of those behind the 15 passenger van, with the last two benches taken out for the six bags of 50-pound each luggage, plus eight boxes of books and magazines. (I will let you estimate the driven hours. Ok, they must have passed the 55 hour mark, using my accounting skills.)

It was a “Father-led, Lord Jesus provided, and Holy Spirit directed ministry trip. It won’t be the last.

I now know where Dallas, Fort Worth, Princeton, McKinney, Allen, Abilene, Odessa, Midland, Pecos, Junction, Del Rio, Brackenville, San Antonio, Houston, Kingwood, and at least seven Buc-ees (ask Laurie what those are!) towns/cities in the Lone Star state reside. And the 22 square mile cattle ranch just north of the Rio Grande. Thank you Lashawn for your joyful hospitality and having the night meeting in the sheep barn!

Did you realize Israel is also a lone star state/nation? Just sayin’.

And I did bring back a pair of black, full size cowboy boots, given to me as a gift (found in a host’s closet, so already broken in. And the right size!)

Sharon Sanders, co-founder of CFI in Jerusalem, did a marvelous job of teaching the importance of Israel, the Jewishness of Jesus (Yeshua), and why CFI has existed for 40 years in Jerusalem, and will continue to, as we expand to bless and comfort His Chosen people.

As I recorded all her messages, some worship times, plus just “fun” travel visits on the few days off, you can see some (hopefully all) on this YouTube channel. I have four playlists created during the trip.

I will have more to share as the coming days permit. Thank you for your prayers, seeing my videos and photos (Facebook, Signal, X, and four websites) along the way.

Ahava and Shalom,

Steve Martin

“They Love Too” - messgage by Steve Martin

They Love Too

One of the joys of traveling in ministry is meeting new people. Especially those who are halfway across the USA in the state of Texas.

On Monday, while with our Christian Friends of Israel ministry team, I met and spent time with three couples (one my age in their 70s and two the age of my children, in their 40s) at a home meeting of about 24. (It was a big house. Yes, everything is big in Texas as they say.)

I like their names. I particularly love their heart for the Lord Jesus and thus their hearts for Israel and His Chosen people the Jews.

Ben is married to Cristen (her spelling.) James and Jamie are almost newlyweds (in their 70s.)

Thomas is from Pennsylvania but moved to Dallas 50 years ago. (Says he is not an NFL fan, so no Dallas Cowboys support there.) His wife Julie treasures him. (Just an observation.)

I gave them each a copy of my 40th book, “Back To Jerusalem”, being we had been talking about the red heifers in Shiloh, with a chapter in the book, with an abundance of photos of course!

Laurie and I had the joy of seeing the four red heifers, originally Texan cattle, now in Israel, in December 2025. I was able to interview their keeper, Larry Borntrager, a Mennonite from Indiana, and write of him also in a full chapter.

These are good people who support Israel too.

They continue to learn of the Lord’s heart for the Land and those He has, and continues to, bring back, to their promised Land.

As believers, He has chosen us to lift up Jewish arms and bring His love to them. Blessing them brings blessing to us.

“Comfort, O comfort My people,” says your God.” Isaiah 40:1

As we continue to travel this vast land of Texas, taking His Word of support as Christians for the Jews and our comforting work in Israel, His Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, is directing our steps (and loaded van) to meet more who love Him, and love His people.

Be blessed as you do the same.

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin

"The Lord directs our steps." Message by Steve Martin

The Lord directs my steps.

The Lord promises to walk with us. He directs our steps as we commit ourselves to His plans and purposes.

On my way to Texas, June 1, 2026, at the Charlotte North Carolina Delta counter, a nice, short black lady, named Brenda, came up to me at the kiosk and helped me tremendously. This was at the start of my month-long journey to be with three from Jerusalem, Christian Friends of Israel staff.

She got my luggage all set to eliminate the bag fees I had already pre-paid (guitar at $100!); signed me up for a special card to eliminate any future luggage fees; went and got my boarding passes through Atlanta to Dallas; and put “Expedite” on my 2 checked bags.

She asked about my trip to Texas so I told her, and then showed her photos of Jerusalem. She praised the Lord.

And then she proceeded to tell me of her family. So I prayed for her right by the counter as people walked by.

And SHE was then blessed. Yeah Lord!

"It's a Time of 'Extreme Acceleration!' Launch Out into the Deep!"
Cindy Jacobs, Red Oak, TX

The Lord has been talking to us for a while about this concept of extreme acceleration and "suddenlies." I hear Him saying again, "Prepare for the time of acceleration."

The Lord says, "For many people, I bring a visitation of acceleration, but they are not ready to do what I have called them to do. Their mindset is to resist change. Their mindset is full of fear, and they're afraid when the season comes and begins to move fast. They want to put the brakes on, and they want to say, 'No, I want to think about this.'"

Time to Get Off the Mark

The Lord says, "There's a time to think and to pray, and there's a time to do and to take actions. I am anointing My people to be risk takers; I'm anointing My people to get off the mark."

Don't let fear paralyze you. Don't let depression paralyze you. Don't let the past depress you. Don't let the past keep you back. When the time comes, I see this picture I've seen in movies of the hero or the heroine when they have to jump on to a fast-moving train, or they have to jump on to a car from another car that's careening down a road. Well, the Lord says, "Jump!"

But What If You Win?

A lot of people say, "Well, what if I miss?" Well, what if you win? I believe that the Lord is saying this especially to a lot of entrepreneurs right now. Some of you, in fact, have been praying earnestly for a confirmation that you are supposed to make a move, and as long as you have peace in your heart about that, just go ahead and jump.

"Launching out into the deep" would be a Biblical reference we could use for this. The Lord says, "If you snooze, you lose!" Get ready for acceleration and be ready to move when the extreme comes.
