Greetings friends of Love For His People - those who have been and those who shall be!
My new video message entitled One New Man speaks of the Lord's work in our midst, bringing His body of believers together. As Jews and Gentiles become more aware of His purpose and plans for our lives, we will continue to see this joining, as He forms the Body of Christ, Messiah.
As the apostle Paul wrote to those then, and for us now:
11 "Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands—
12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,
15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity." (Ephesians 2:11-16 NASB)
I encourage you to seek out the Jewish roots that are the basis of our Christian foundation. Know that Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ, is bringing forth His people, being gathered from all the nations, both Jew and Gentile, to complete the eternal task begun at the beginning of time.
You are called to be part of this.
Be blessed in your listening now and then doing.
Ahava and shalom!

I am thankful that I can bring you another word of encouragement, which today I am calling "Call on the Name of the Lord". Normally I like to speak a word earlier in the week, but the Lord didn't give me one, and so I didn't. When I was reading Isaiah 55 this morning, I came to verse 6 and heard the Holy Spirit say to me that this was the word for now.
"Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts."
(Isaiah 55:6-9New American Standard Bible (NASB)
My prayer is that today you will spend time with the Lord Jesus, call upon His name, and ask Him what He has planned for you. His Holy SPirit will direct your steps.
Ahava and shalom,

Thank you, Lord for another opportunity to share! This week I wrote my latest Now Think On This message entitled, "Forgive, Forget, Move On". May not be the most popular one I have shared, but probably one of the most needed in the Body of Christ, the workplace, the cities we live in and all around the world. Humans seem to like to carry hurts, bitterness, resentments in their heart, and then pass them onto their kids. No wonder one of Jesus' truthful messages, included in the main example of prayer which we call the "Lord's Prayer", or "Our Father", included the words, "forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors." Many of those walking this life, carrying the baggage of painful memories, very real in fact, will find themselves forgiven by the Lord, as they also walk in forgiveness. It can't be an option. It must be a daily choice - to forgive, forget, and then move on with life. I hope you are encouraged by this message. This dying world needs the love of Jesus, Yeshua, and we have the answers to share with them. But we must walk out the answers ourselves, first. Learning and abiding in forgiveness is a major lesson for each of us. May we all do this well so we can get on with doing what we each have been called to do!
Ahava and shalom,
Steve

Showing our love, respect and support for the Jews and the people of Israel, four ministries - Beit Yeshua (Curtis Loftin and Chuck Anthong), Highway To Zion (Cathy Hargett), Israel Media Ministries Ze'ev Nevo) and Love For His People (Steve Martin) came together for the annual event in Lincolnton, North Carolina, USA. Led by Curtis Loftin (founder of Beith Yeshua) this gathering of Gentiles and Jews join together to bless the nation of Israel, being we are strong friends and love to let the world know that we stand strong for the Jewish people in their Promised Land. In the midst of recent activity within the USA, and the increasing anti-Semitic activity worldwide, and even in the eastern USA in Virginia, as committed Christian and Messianic Jews, we want our cities, our states, our nation and the world to know that the Jews will always have our support, love and commitment to stand with them against all who seek to steal, kill and destroy. We love our brethren the Jews! We love Israel! Blessings on ye head! With ahava (love) and shalom (peace) of Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ, we share our faith, hope and love.

"Grace"
Love For His People video
with Steve Martin
Aug. 15, 2017
Greetings friends of Love For His People.
Grace is the word for today! And don't we all need much of it? We certainly do.
When I asked the Lord what the message should be for this edition of Arms of Love, the Holy Spirit gave me the word "grace" yesterday as I drove home from my accounting job. I really needed it there, as I close out my 5-year tenure come this Oct. 31. I am sure you need some more grace in your life too. Today possibly? I think every day!
I hope you are encouraged as you listen to this word shared from my heart. Please let me know if it does, will you?
Grace, grace, grace. Fill our hearts today Lord with your faith, hope, love and grace!
Ahava and shalom,
Steve
Grace abounds!

Arms of Love - Love For His People video with Steve Martin - "Grace" (message #2)
Aug. 15, 2017 Recorded in Pineville, North Carolina in our "studio" (born-again garage)
Videos filmed and shared by Steve Martin - to give appreciation to and love for those we support, through Love For His People, Inc.
Greetings to our friends now, and new ones coming along.
This morning around 4:50 am I recorded the very first edition of Love For His People's new video series we are calling, "Arms of Love".
After sensing the Holy Spirit's nudge to do such a project, and knowing the additional time and costs involved, we are moving out in faith. It will be a small beginning, but we believe the Word of God, which states in Zechariah 4:10, "For who has despised the day of small things?" (NKJV). We won't!
When the Lord then says "Now is the time", I don't often ask how will I do it, or when do I start, or say, "Now may not the the right timing for this." His timing is always perfect.
This photo depicts where we will do our main production. Right here in our former two-car garage, which was then transformed into a NASCAR man's cave back in the early 2000's, and then got saved and now has become the "Martin Museum of Moments", the prayer room, and the grandkids hang out den when they come over to Grandpa and Grandma's house.
The "new" Love For His People Arms of Love studio
So why not now make it the Love For His People studio? As my good UK English friend Martin Berger (GODTV representative) would say, "Brilliant!"
We will feature "story-telling" by myself. Maybe even reading a chapter or two out of my book
Arms of Love (now translated in Urdu/Pakistan and soon to be in the Nigerian Yoruba language).
My good wife Laurie will be featured, as she speaks of life from a woman's point of view. Having raised two boys, two girls, and also with seven grand kids (along with me), she has some great wisdom and practical mentoring words to speak forth.
Laurie has also "raised" literally hundreds of two-year olds, being she has served with the Calvary Child Development Center in Charlotte, North Carolina going on 17 years now. Imagine that - two-year-olds!
Well, I know one who can help you raise yours!
My oldest daughter Hannah Avalos will come on at times and tell her encouraging stories learned from being a newly-wed several years ago, as she joined hands with her husband Jonathan Avalos.
(As an ordained minister, I got to be both Father-of the-Bride, just like the comedian actor Steve Martin in the movie of the same title, and officiating pastor! I don't think that Steve Martin has the ordination papers though.)
Together they are raising son 10-year old Payton and now Levi.
Maybe we can also get Hannah's spouse Jonathan to share about his life in being a Physical Trainer, and do a few exercises "live" to get us all in shape! Check him out! Personal Trainer For You
Hannah and Jonathan Avalos
Hannah will have many great stories to share of miracles, and of our Lord Jesus' (Yeshua's) work being outworked through those experienced blessings, especially with their now 19-month-old son Levi Zachary. Born with TAR syndrome (missing both forearms and having needed blood work done weekly the first full year), we all have seen the Lord's arms of love around Levi's arms of love.
Grandson Levi - he likes the "toys" found in our kitchen.
But wait! This commercial isn't over yet! Our pet Dachshund Zoe Girl Martin just might wobble in on the set at times. She thinks she can go anywhere and do anything anytime, being a full-grown woman now at 11 (that is 77 years old in human years!)
With her small arms of love, I guess we will let her make her presentation...how to eat 3x daily, and then sleep for 20 hours a day.
I guess I am a bit excited. Knowing what the Lord has done with the ministry, and now this, taking another big step forward, has to get one excited.
Thank you Jesus!

Arms of Love video series - Steve Martin - 1st one!!! (08.08.17) (8x8x8) - Intro - Tuesday, 4:40 am 6:57 minutes
This is our very first edition of our new series. Sharing the love of the Lord Jesus, with stories, experiences, Bible truths, and ways to walk in His ways.

Greetings to our friends now, and new ones coming along.
Beginning in the month of August 2017 (the month #8 - "new beginnings" in the Bible), Love for His People will launch our new ministry outreach, a video series we are calling, "Arms of Love".
After sensing the Holy Spirit's nudge to do such a project, and knowing the additional time and costs involved, we are moving out in faith. It will be a small beginning, but we believe the Word of God, which states in Zechariah 4:10, "For who has despised the day of small things?" (NKJV). We won't!
When the Lord then says "Now is the time", I don't often ask how will I do it, or when do I start, or say, Now may not be the best time." I respond, "How high do I jump Lord!" in obedience to Him. His timing is always perfect.
This photo depicts where we will do our main production. Right here in our former two-car garage, which was then transformed into a NASCAR man's cave back in the '90s, and then got saved and now has become the "Martin Museum of Moments", the prayer room, and the grandkids hang out den when they come over to Grandpa and Grandma's house.

Dear friends (and I call you friends who share in the love for the Lord Jesus, His people the Jews, and the nation of Israel),
We are so thankful and excited that work continues in the publication of my book "Arms of Love" in our first non-English language. We hope it will not only encourage believers in these lands, but also touch the heart of Muslims with the love of Yeshua (Jesus), for Whom this is all about.
I am so thankful for Moses, who has led the charge is seeing this through. He has pressed on, and we will see the completion of it soon.
We appreciate your help as we are touching the nations with the love of the Lord Jesus, Adonai.
Be blessed in your blessing today,
