“Out of the Rubble…” Time To Consider message by Steve Martin

**Nehemiah’s wall discovered in Jerusalem, Israel**

July 7, 2020 Love For His People ministry in Charlotte, North Carolina USA

“Then I gave them my report: “Face it: we’re in a bad way here. Jerusalem is a wreck; its gates are burned up. Come — let’s build the wall of Jerusalem and not live with this disgrace any longer.” I told them how God was supporting me and how the king was backing me up. They said, “We’re with you. Let’s get started.” They rolled up their sleeves, ready for the good work.” Nehemiah 2:17-18, THE MESSAGE

But the people saw this and spoke, “Y’hudah was saying, “The strength of the people who carry loads away is starting to fail, and there is so much rubble that we can’t build the wall.” Nehemiah 4:4, Complete Jewish Bible

How often have we seen the same situation in our day and then spoke those same words, “we can’t build the wall.”

As I was sharing encouragement back and forth with our Israeli friends, and posting words on our website from those speaking up and speaking out against the American and world unrest, given the situation that many find themselves experiencing these past months, the Holy Spirit gave me this word, “Out of the rubble.”

Then relating that word to Scripture, the foundation upon which we must always stand, I looked up the book of Nehemiah, written for our benefit and encouragement, who himself was called by the Lord out of Babylon to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the wall, out of the rubble.

What hope we have for today!

As the anarchists, cheered on by the wicked people in exalted thrones of authority, coupled with those seeking to destroy, vandalize, tear down the historical and spiritual foundations of our country, the Lord is speaking from the heavens, “Out of the rubble” I will rebuild My Wall, My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail.

“Simon Peter said, “You’re the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus came back, “God bless you, Simon, son of Jonah! You didn’t get that answer out of books or from teachers. My Father in heaven, God himself, let you in on this secret of who I really am. And now I’m going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.” Matthew 16:16-18, THE MESSAGE

No hell on earth, no satanic forces in the heavens, no man, no woman, no government or reign of power will keep our God from building His Wall, His Church, His Kingdom that is to come on earth as it is in heaven.

No way! No how!

After telling His disciples, soon to be apostles (“sent out ones”) as to Who He was, He spoke this word of strength and encouragement to them, for they were going to need it.

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? “For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS. “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” Matthew 16: 24-28, NASU

Out of the rubble will come the seeds that have been buried, placed there by the Lord from the beginning of time, to sprout forth at these end of days. As the enemy shows his true colors, and destruction seemingly flourishes and abounds, those whom the Lord has chosen, those whom the Lord has called, those who have accepted His command to “come and follow Me” with rise up, sprout with the new life they have within by the salvation brought through Jesus Christ and the empowerment of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, to rebuild the foundational walls, and see His Church established, as the One New Man, born again Jews and Gentiles, come together to do it.

The gates of hell will not prevail. The raging seas of people will not fully destroy it, seeking to do so as they may. The destructive forces of the wicked, demonic, total hellfire of the opposing side will never replace the One Who alone is seated on the throne, ready to soon return and take up His rightful place of His established Kingdom rule in Jerusalem.

“But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. “All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.” Matthew 25:31-33, NASU

The Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, is not caught off guard by that which fills our newscasts of fake news. The Living God of Israel has not abandoned us. He has not forsaken us. He has not “left behind” those who have called, and will continue to call, upon His Name, along with those who are yet to be called to pick up His banner and perform His wondrous works.

Out of the rubble that mankind had brought in all his vast “wisdom and flaunting”, supposedly throwing off all that restrains to build their own kingdoms, will come the everlasting Kingdom that the Lord God Himself is establishing on the earth.

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.” Isiah 54:17, NKJV

So, I encourage you to stand fast as we are so encouraged to do throughout God’s Holy Word. “But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.” 2 Thessalonians, NKJV

The glory of the Lord will be revealed. He will be exalted. He will accomplish His plans and purposes throughout the earth.

The gates of hell shall not prevail. The Lord God Almighty will!

“Emotions” – Now Think On This by Steve Martin

June 15, 2020 Love For His People in Charlotte, North Carolina USA

“Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry and children of harlotry, for the land has committed great harlotry by departing from the Lord.” Hosea 1:2, NKJV

Have you ever read the Biblical book Hosea, considered a “small” prophet before? You know, the one short book in the Old Testament that is between the major prophets Daniel and Joel.

A quick storyline of his from Hosea the Prophet reads, “Hosea (active 750-722 B.C.) was a prophet of the kingdom of Israel. He called on Israel to repent its sins of apostasy and warned of the judgment to come from God. His writings form the first of the Old Testament books of the Minor Prophets.

Hosea was the son of Beeri and apparently belonged to the upper classes. Judging from his elegant style, he was highly cultured. Hosea married Gomer, daughter of Diblaim, who bore him two sons, the older of whom he called Yezreel, meaning “God sows.” This name may have been intended to signify the replanting of Israel back on its own soil after it had been dispersed in exile. The second son was called Lo Ami, meaning “not my people, ” to indicate God’s rejection of Israel as His people because of its faithlessness. Hosea’s daughter by Gomer was metaphorically named Lo-ruhamah, meaning “the unpitied one.” Since Gomer after her marriage became an unfaithful “wife of harlotry, ” it is possible that Lo-ruhamah and perhaps her brothers were illegitimate children. Scholars have speculated whether the prophet’s tragic marital experience was real or merely an allegory to stress the infidelity of Israel.”

In these modern days of our enlightenment and superiority of knowledge, Hosea doesn’t get a lot of acclamation or even comment in church or congregational circles. After all, he “only” spoke to the kings and the people of ancient Israel around 700 B.C., and what does that have to do with us today?

A lot.

Though I don’t consider or proclaim myself to be a biblical scholar, I have made it a consistent habit and disciple to read the Bible almost every day, believing that what it says, as the Creator of the Universe Himself told us, “Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-23, NKJV

And where does wisdom come, that we need so much today? Lord knows we do.

“For Adonai (the Lord) gives wisdom; from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

He stores up common sense for the upright, is a shield to those whose conduct is blameless,

in order to guard the courses of justice and preserve the way of those faithful to him. Then you will understand righteousness, justice, fairness and every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, knowledge will be enjoyable for you, discretion will watch over you, and discernment will guard you.” Proverbs 2:6-11, Complete Jewish Bible

As I began to read the first chapters of Hosea, I could sense the emotions of God the Father, trying to get His people’s attention through the practical picture he gave Hosea to publicly demonstrate.

Take a wife, a harlot. Yes, take one who has given herself to any and all. Have children. Call them the names which shows what I have called My people at this time in their ways apart from Me. Demonstrate how I feel, Hosea, about the condition of My people, My country, My heart.

Continuing to read, I could sense the passion of the Lord for His people, His emotional anger expressed as they had departed from His ways, which would be the only way to have life, if only they would seek and follow after Him. You can feel His heart cry for their return to Him.

America and the nations of the world are in this same condition today. We have turned from God. We have sought our own ways. We have lifted up our knowledge, our understanding, our attempts to remove God from any and all parts of our lives so as to not be accountable to Him Who sits on the throne.

If we do not cry out in our hearts, our souls, our minds and emotions for the Living God of Israel, the One Who alone can save, we are among those who are to be most pitied.

And yet if we repent, He will heal our land, which is a verse most used these days but which we must know and do.

“God appeared to Solomon that very night and said, “I accept your prayer; yes, I have chosen this place as a temple for sacrifice, a house of worship. If I ever shut off the supply of rain from the skies or order the locusts to eat the crops or send a plague on my people, and my people, my God-defined people, respond by humbling themselves, praying, seeking my presence, and turning their backs on their wicked lives, I’ll be there ready for you: I’ll listen from heaven, forgive their sins, and restore their land to health.” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15, THE MESSAGE

Only God, the One Who created us, Who alone has the answers, can save America and all nations who would turn to Him. As my good friend Mordechai continually tells me, we must repent. We must turn from our wicked ways, which we as a nation have followed, obvious to any who have eyes to see. We must acknowledge and know that Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, must be lifted up in our individual lives, our homes, our places of worship, our cities, our country.

Lord help us to do just that.

Now think on this.

Ahava and shalom,
