“We must keep on keeping on.” Steve Martin, Love For His People

Standing in support of Israel, Jews, and believers in all the nations, in the Name of Jesus (Yeshua) Our regular communication to share the Love For His People with our friends. Blessings on ye head!

Keep on Keeping On

“’He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.” Daniel 7:25, NASU

The Word of God speaks to us from times past to show us what was then, is now, and what is to come. Even as the enemy of our soul continually seeks to stand against those who side with the Living God of Israel, we are most aware of his motives and schemes. The enemy of our very being will always seek to tear down the saints, the believers; those who are called and commissioned to join the battle and stand on the ramparts. We are aware of his tactics and stand strong against him, together.

When I returned from my ahava (love) adventure to Israel on Nov. 12, 2022, I was a bit weary. No, in fact, I was just plain worn out. Having given all that I had to make full use of the three weeks I had been given for the days there, my body, soul, and spirit needed some rest.

But with relatives coming in a few days; my good friend still in the hospital going on six weeks (the one who was to have joined me on this trip for his first one to Israel) there just seemed to be no time to rest, and then another close prophetic friend was moving out of state and needed some help; a concert trip to bless my son on his birthday was the same week…

All important, but at times the saying, “No rest for the weary,” holds true. Yeshua and the disciples knew the feeling, but they kept on keeping on. The days are short, and the night comes when no man can work. So we must keep on going.

“The apostles then rendezvoused with Jesus and reported on all that they had done and taught. Jesus said, “Come off by yourselves; let’s take a break and get a little rest.” For there was constant coming and going. They didn’t even have time to eat. So they got in the boat and went off to a remote place by themselves. Someone saw them going and the word got around. From the surrounding towns people went out on foot, running, and got there ahead of them. When Jesus arrived, he saw this huge crowd. At the sight of them, his heart broke — like sheep with no shepherd they were. He went right to work teaching them.” Mark 6:30-34, THE MESSAGE

“I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 9:4-5, NKJV

Many times I have silently prayed the prayer, “My times are in Your hands, and when I am weak then You are strong.” It has kept me going at times when I would rather sleep in bed.

We are living in those hours when it is fast approaching when no man will be able to work. So, we must be about our Father’s business when the day is light, and not give in to weariness and discouragement.

Governments will keep trying to shut down our travel (the “planned-demic” had been in place for years beforehand, based on truth accounts) and stifle our means of earthly support; leaders will say they have our back when it is only theirs that they care about.

How is it that so many “broke” men and women get into positions of power and then leave being millionaires after decades, or even just 8 years?

These are times when we must rely on the Lord’s strength, His grace, His power, and provision, to complete the works He has set before us to do. Only by Him working through us will we be able to complete the glorious tasks we have been given to do while here. The Lord did not let Moses in the promised Land due to the mishandling of his commission. We must press on in complete obedience so we can complete ours.

“At that same time, I begged God: “God, my Master, you let me in on the beginnings, you let me see your greatness, you let me see your might — what god in Heaven or Earth can do anything like what you’ve done! Please, let me in also on the endings, let me cross the river and see the good land over the Jordan, the lush hills, the Lebanon mountains.” Deuteronomy 3”23-25, THE MESSAGE

Fulfilling the mission set before us will only get done if we keep our eyes on Jesus, call on His Name in the midst of battle and war, and keep our faith and trust fully in His ability to finish His eternal plans and purposes, using us in those plans and purposes. We too set our hearts like flint, as He Himself did.

“For the Lord God helps Me, therefore, I am not disgraced; therefore, I have set My face like flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed. He who vindicates Me is near; who will contend with Me? Let us stand up to each other; who has a case against Me? Let him draw near to Me. Behold, the Lord God helps Me; who is he who condemns Me? Behold, they will all wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them. Who is among you that fears the Lord, that obeys the voice of His servant, that walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.” Isaiah 50:7-10, NASU

Carry on and do that which you too are to do. Get some rest as you can along the way.

Ahava and shalom, Steve Martin, Love For His People Founder

Message #165 in this series – in the year of our Lord 11.20.2022 – “Keep On Keeping On” – Sunday, 6:30 am in Charlotte, North Carolina

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO by Steve Martin (published Nov. 14, 2022)

On Nov. 11, 2022, as I awaited the shuttle to the Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, I asked the Lord what the title of my 36th book should be. “Why We Do What We Do – We Live For the Lord” came the response from the Holy Spirit. So, I named it that.

The morning after I got home on Sunday, Nov. 13, 2022, I opened the November/December 2022 issue of Charisma Magazine which my good wife Laurie had been reading on the kitchen table. I skimmed through the pages and noticed an article by Rod Parsley entitled, “Seek the Father’s Face, Hear His Voice”. I had known of Rod and his ministry, but not a regular listener.

On page 57 of his article, the written paragraph header was, “His Voice in My Ear”. In the 4th paragraph, he wrote of the Lord asking Him this question, “Why do you do what you do?” Confirmation! Thus, I had heard the Lord also.

This book contains the five months of messages I shared with subscribers to my weekly email, and then posted on our website www.loveforhispeople.com and other social media platforms. For each of us to accomplish the Lord’s will, plans, and purposes for our individual lives we must know what we are to do and do it. We will then understand the “why we do what we do” question, as we walk out His ways.

Be inspired and encouraged as you read, either as a daily discipline or as a book with examples as to how to walk the Christian faith in your own life. And as you know the “why”, your courage, boldness, and firmer commitment to live for Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, will be evident to many. You may not even have to say a word.

I have also included the six messages I wrote from Jerusalem, between Oct. 24-Nov. 11, 2022 when I was there on my 26th journey to the Land. Since 2010 I have called these journeys “Ahava Adventures”. “Ahava” is love in Hebrew.

Blessings on ye head. Ahava and Shalom, Steve Martin, Founder

"Miracles and Divine Alignments in Bodies as We Magnify the Lord!"

Lana Vawser, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

Recently, I had a vision where I saw many of God's people who were battling long-standing health issues as well as weird and random physical symptoms in their bodies. There was discouragement and almost despair that they were facing, as they felt caught in this "cycle" of health issues and weird/random physical symptoms with no breakthrough...yet.

The Lord showed me that the enemy has recently been coming against these people, attacking them with tremendous FEAR over the physical issues they have been experiencing with the weird/random physical symptoms. In the vision, I watched as these black figures came alongside God's people and began to whisper lies into their ears. They said things like, "This is what it is," or "This is what is going to happen..." The whole intention of this attack was to lock God's people in fear and to MAGNIFY the fear and these physical symptoms and health issues.

Don't Magnify Fear...Magnify Me!

Then the Lord said to me: "Lana, pay attention to the word 'MAGNIFY'! The enemy is attempting to MAGNIFY fear over health issues through his lies. The enemy is attempting to MAGNIFY FEAR with his lies and false decrees to keep My people bound. But the truth is, I am releasing another key to break these health issues and cycles in their lives." (Photo via Unsplash)

The definition of "magnify" is: 1. Make (something) appear larger than it is, especially with a lens or microscope. 2. Praise highly; glorify. SYNONYMNS: to enhance, boost, expand, intensify.

The Lord then spoke: "There are MANY keys I am releasing in this new era to see these health issues, random physical/weird symptoms broken. But right now, for those who are feeling the plaguing, tormenting fear over these issues, I am making a decree: MAGNIFY NOT the symptoms. Magnify NOT the health issues with your focus. MAGNIFY ME!

"Praise Me over these symptoms. Praise Me over the health issues. Praise Me over the pain. Praise Me over the fear. Be FEROCIOUS in your FOCUS on FAITH and PRAISE! The enemy is looking for the agreement of My people so he can magnify FEAR, but I decree that as you MAGNIFY ME there shall be MAJOR, sudden alignments and miracles in HEALTH and BODIES!"

"Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together!" (Psalm 34:3 ESV)

Radical Restoration and Alignment

I then watched as these people began to intentionally LOOK AWAY from the health issues, from the random/weird symptoms, and MAGNIFY the Lord instead. They stood and magnified the name of JESUS for who He is and His Word, and His ability to heal their bodies. I saw Jesus come and place His hands on their heads and then on their backs, and it looked like He was making a chiropractic adjustment. I could hear the word "ALIGNMENT" being decreed in the spirit. MAJOR demonstrations of the power of praise as well as the power in JESUS' name began to manifest!

The Lord spoke again: "I am bringing RADICAL RESTORATION and ALIGNMENT in bodies and RESTORING strength to the physical bodies of My people as they MAGNIFY Me."

As this ferocious faith was arising through praise and magnifying the Lord with intentionality, I watched as MIRACLES suddenly burst forth in peoples' bodies. There was an intense shaking taking place within them by the power of His Spirit as the "walls" of these health issues/physical symptoms began to come DOWN once and for all.

I watched symptoms that were WITHIN bodies suddenly burst out and fall to the ground. Chains of health issues suddenly fell to the ground. Tumors suddenly fell out of peoples' bodies and onto the ground. The people of God then began to dance upon these random/weird health issues and symptoms and there was major victory bursting forth supernaturally in peoples bodies.

Smokescreen Symptoms

I then heard the Lord say, "SMOKESCREEN SYMPTOMS." When I heard Him say this I saw the people who had been battling these random/weird symptoms; the ones where the enemy has been whispering lies of, "This is what's wrong with you..." I saw many of them fearing for their lives and had a strong sense of foreboding, thinking things like, "Is this going to come upon me?" (Photo via Unsplash)

It was then that I heard the thundering voice of God: "The enemy is coming against you, lying to you about what is to come. You've been in the constant cycle of fear over your bodies and health, and the enemy is lying to you to trap you again in another foreboding cycle, but these are SMOKESCREEN SYMPTOMS! Don't listen to his lies, for many of you have been assaulted by this spirit of fear manifesting in your physical bodies for years and for some of you, your whole life.

"The REASON the enemy has intensified his attack of fear over physical issues/random/weird symptoms is because I am NOW RESTORING YOUR HEALTH, bringing MAJOR breakthrough and ALIGNMENT. Repent of aligning with fear and trust Me and KNOW that what is before you is strength, restoration of body and increase. DISAGREE with his lies and MAGNIFY ME!

"There is a MAJOR MOVE of My Spirit taking place right now where I am supernaturally restoring bodies, breaking fear and releasing Kingdom keys for divine health. Stand against the lies and KNOW that these are smokescreen symptoms and lies. Physical restoration is upon you."

I saw the Lord draw a line in the sand and He decreed, "NO MORE!" I watched as the tormenting fear regarding health fled.

He decreed again: "What has been part of your story for so long will NO LONGER be part of your story! I have DECREED its end!" (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

I Am Raising Up a People of Perseverance by Lana Vawser - Identity Network

I Am Raising Up a People of Perseverance by Lana Vawser

Identity Network

I had a dream recently where the Lord spoke clearly, "I am raising up a people of perseverance."

God is raising up a people of perseverance. Right now God is dealing with the issues of the heart that would hinder perseverance. Those areas of the heart that continue to raise themselves up, that fear links into, that anxiety lives in, where discouragement or disappointment took root, where the weeds have gone deep into the gardens of people's hearts. God is uprooting those things now.

God is strengthening His people. God is refreshing His people. God is healing His people. God is fortifying His people.

Many of you have been battered, many of you have been bruised by what you have walked through. Many of you struggle to hope. Many of you struggle to dream. Many of you are scared to "believe again." Many of you are continually faced with the thoughts of it being "easier to give up" than to keep moving forward.

I prophesy over you right now in the name of Jesus that the Lord is doing a deep work in your heart and He is raising you up as one who embodies perseverance.

You will Encounter the Fire in His Eyes of Love for You

The Lord showed me that for those of you who have really been struggling, feeling weak, feeling sad, feeling discouraged, feeling weary, there are encounters upon you with Jesus where you are going to encounter the fire in His eyes of love for you and it will impart a deeper fire in your belly, His fire.

The enemy has tried to take many of you out. He has tried to steal from you, kill and destroy and through it all, you have continued to stand. You have continued to remain but you have not been feeling as strong as you used to be. Many of you feel the fire has gone. Many of you have been feeling the strength to continue to chase after Him and all He has for you, depleting.

Get ready to get back to your first love. Get ready for your heart to burn for Jesus like never before. Get ready to go back to that place of deep intimacy with Jesus. Your heart is about to burn for Jesus like it never has. Many of you are going to have encounters with Jesus where you will literally be mesmerized by the fire in His eyes. The healing, the revelation, the impartation that is going to be released upon you as you see His loving, burning gaze towards you. The revelation of who Jesus is, is going to be burned in you deeper than ever as you see His eyes!!!!!!!!!!

"He wore many regal crowns, and His eyes were flashing like flames of fire." Revelation 19:12 (The Passion Translation)

Stolen Vision

Many of you have been living under confusion, many of you have been feeling like you have lost your vision in the battle, but I prophesy in the name of Jesus that in seeing His eyes, being locked into His gaze, these deep encounters, your vision will not only be restored but you will have greater vision than before. The haze will clear as you see Jesus and His loving gaze towards you.

Many of you have been looked down upon over your life. Many of you have been looked down upon recently, and you have been living under a cloud of condemnation, fear of punishment, and lies concerning your identity. These encounters with Jesus, are going to break all of that.

Arise in Perseverance and Power

You are about to arise in perseverance and the power of His Spirit in greater ways. Your seeing Him, is about to change everything within you.

You are going to arise with the fire in your belly that cannot be quenched. You will no longer know weariness, or fear like Elijah that would cause you to want to run and hide. You are coming out and coming out with fire. You are coming out strong. You are coming out empowered by His Spirit. You have been tested and tried but you are coming out now carrying fire, His fire. You will not be silenced. Your vision will no longer be hindered. Giving up is no longer an option.

James 1:2-4, 12 "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Blessed is the man who remains steadfast (or perseveres) under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."

Where many of you have had your faith shaken by fear and disappointment, get ready to see His goodness, miracles, and amazing testimonies all around that will restore your faith.

I see you chasing after Him with greater vigorous strength and joy! Restored! Refreshed! Replenished! Rejuvenated and strengthened with a deeper fire, conviction and hearts cry of John 6:67-68. "So Jesus said to his twelve, 'And you - do you also want to leave?' Peter spoke up and said, 'But Lord, where would we go? No one but YOU gives us the revelation of eternal life'" (The Passion Translation)

The enemy has tried to chase many of you away from your promise, your destiny, your inheritance, but no more.

He is raising you up in perseverance and power. Strengthening your faith, awakening you to your authority. You are crossing over and taking more ground than you have ever taken, moving into greater fruitfulness than you have known, breakthrough at the heart. Harvest time, and the strength within you to carry it.

Prophetic Word: Wind of Change Coming Early by Doug Addison - Identity Network

Prophetic Word: Wind of Change Coming Early

by Doug Addison

Identity Network Dec. 11, 2017

Revelation Coming at Christmas

Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. Ezekiel 3:3 NIV

In a heavenly encounter last month, I saw the Lord giving spiritual scrolls of revelation. They contained plans, strategies, wisdom and insight that we will need for the coming year.

God told me to expect to see this begin in December and flow through the New Year. And just as in Ezekiel 3:3, it will taste sweet as honey. God is going to bring good things to you!

Wind of Change Early

Every year since 2012, I have been observing a powerful angel that comes right around March or April. When the Wind of Change angel comes (not Winds of Change—that is a different angel), it reveals things that have been hidden (Psalm 104:4).

Things that may have been holding you back will become much clearer. The Wind of Change also blows things into place and what might look uncertain and chaotic right now will soon be much more orderly.

Regarding the angels, he says, "He sends his angels like the winds, his servants like flames of fire." Hebrews 1:7 NLT

The Lord spoke to me that the reason the Wind of Change angel is coming early this year is because there is such a strong attack of discouragement and hopelessness.

God is moving to balance the scales of justice because the enemy has been over-attacking people everywhere. We are about to experience an amazing new revival and Satan wants to distract us from what God is bringing.

Attack of Discouragement

There has been a heavy attack of hopelessness and many people have been tempted to give in to discouragement. I saw a huge attack from the enemy that was intended to get people to believe they are worthless and not able to change. This was so strong that some people were becoming depressed and suicidal.

Do not back down, as this time of resistance will not last long. A greater revelation into your calling and divine assignment from God will come from this, starting this month. Do not give up hope and remember that the greatest storms usually come just before the greatest breakthroughs!

Prophetic Dream and the Wind of Change 2012

I had a dream in 2012 of a strong spiritual (not literal) wind that started blowing from the ocean onto land. As it approached, it blew up debris so strongly that it was nearly blinding. Then a huge battleship crashed into the land, hitting buildings. God spoke to me that this is the "Wind of Change" and it is coming upon the Earth now.

The meaning of the dream is that there is a massive "Wind of Change" coming from the Lord. This spiritual climate shift is happening in order to blow away the things in our lives that have held us back. It will remove things we have "battled" with in the past. God is blowing away debris and preparing us now for a dramatic change.

We need to embrace the changes that are coming and not be afraid. Fight the discouragement, because over the next few months there will be several waves of turn around. It's time to be encouraged, not discouraged!

Wounded Warriors Being Revived

I had a spiritual encounter in November 2017 where I was taken to a place where many wounded people were laying on a battlefield. There were a number of wounded warriors and those who had been taken out.

Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.'" Ezekiel 37:9 NIV

I saw the Lord blow the wind from Ezekiel 37 upon those lying on the battlefield. God spoke to me that the Wind of Change is similar to the four winds and breath of God in Ezekiel 37.

As the Wind of Change begins to blow, it will revive many people who have been wounded by negative Christians and church experiences. Many wounded warriors have been taken out of action in the Kingdom of God by "friendly fire," or attacks from other Christians.

These wounded warriors will play a strong role in this next move of God. I saw many of them lying on the Kingdom battlefield with no one to attend to them. Then the Wind of Change blew life into them and they were strengthened and began to rise up with new vision.

I would encourage you to let God's Wind of Change blow into any area of your life that needs it. The Wind of Change is coming early this year, so get ready for amazing Christmas gifts from your Father in Heaven!
