"Be not unaware, friend." New message from Steve Martin, Love For His People
Saturday, August 16, 2025
"Don't Quit" - message by Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry
Don’t Quit
“So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.” The Message, Galatians 6:9
Discouragement and the desire to quit rarely occur. Not!
Even the “Pioneers of Faith” wanted to call it quits at times. Ever read about David in the Psalms on the run from Saul? Sure, you have. But we can learn from him. David knew what to do when he got weary, ran out of steam, or got discouraged at the thought of what may lie ahead. And he learned how to persevere, not to quit.
In the spring of 2018 I was in Jerusalem, by myself, seriously believing it was my last time coming to the Land. The ministry of Love for His People seemed to be “petering” out. I wasn’t sure if this was it. In fact, I believed it was. There would be no return, for that which I had lived for in many aspects was ending.
Cathy Hargett, Highway To Zion founder here in Charlotte, North Carolina, had a tour in the Holy City at the same tim. She invited me to their evening meal at Mount Zion Hotel, across the valley from Oskar Schindler’s (1908-1974) gravesite on Mount Zion. I felt like this was ending too, but not in the “glory” Oskar had been shown. (Watch this YouTube: Oskar Schindler)
I spoke to Cathy. “This is it for me. This is my last trip to Israel.” I really believed it.
When I left the dinner, walking back to my lodging, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “This is not your last trip. In fact, you will be coming two times a year.”
“What??!!” The usual, skeptical response many of us have when the Lord tells us something. We need to be more like Mary when she was spoken to.
“For nothing will be impossible with God.” And Mary said, “Behold, the Lord’s bond-servant; may it be done to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.” Luke 1:37-38, NASB
The Lord has more faith than we do. In fact, He is the author of faith, for He Himself is Faithful and True.
As we give ourselves to His plans and purposes, we will find grace to keep going, to never quit, to finish the work He has set before us.
Carry on in love, faith, and with much hope. This is no time to quit.
Ahava and Shalom,
Steve Martin

Valued in His Eyes - Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry message. Plus two worship videos.
Valued in His Eyes
It used to be that a penny was worth something. In fact, I remember when, as a little kid, even as old as 10, my dad would bend down to pick up a penny.
“To some people, this isn’t worth the effort. But to me it is”, he would say. He knew what it was like to be poor, and made sure his family never did. Mom said he would tell her, “I work two jobs, 60 hours a week, so my family and I will never be poor again.” He died before he reached 70.
As of 2025, each penny costs $.03 to make. So, the government is planning on doing away with it. I guess it is a good thing, then, that I took my pennies to the coin machine at Food Lion to cash them in last week. No one will pick them up off the street again. There will not be any.
Being thankful that the Lord continually shows His love and how He values us is so important to our self-esteem. Without His ongoing affirmation, approval, and encouragement towards us, the lies of the world would beat us down to the point that we give up, turn back, or simply quit.
We are valued in His eyes. He created us. He wants us to be with Him, in His family, now and forever more.
He proved it then, and He proves it now as we spend time with Him.
"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20, NASB
We are worth more than a penny. We are worth the life the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) freely gives us as we abide with Him in our daily walk.
Ahava and Shalom,

Carry My Bags - Steve Martin message at Antioch Intl. Church Men’s Breakfast, Fort Mill, SC (2 short videos)
Steve Martin - Video Part 1
Carry My Bags - Steve Martin message
at Antioch International Church Men’s Breakfast, Fort Mill, SC (2 short videos)
July 12, 2025
These two video segments (they total just 8 minutes of the full 31-minute talk due to “technical difficulties”) are a part of my life in how the Lord led me to “carry His bags” and stand strong with Israel. (Part 2 is also 4:12 min.)
Side note: I was later told that the full message was recorded, and I hope to get that up on this site real soon.
The Lord will lead us down a path we may not want to go on, but if we hear and obey...He will never lead us astray! Videos recorded by Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry, in Charlotte, North Carolina. We stand firm for Israel and His people the Jews.
Steve Martin - Part 2 video of my message is below this brief explanation.
The part “missing” in the message not recorded was how I had asked Mahesh Chavda, whom I had served with at that point for 13.5 years, if I could go with him on an international trip, and he answered, “What would you do? Carry my bags?”
The Lord told me then to go to Jerusalem and meet Him at the Western Wall. I went with Martin Berger, the Chavda England director, and we went to Jerusalem. I walked to the Wall from the Mount Zion Hotel, and when I stood at the Wall, I placed both hands on it.
The Holy Spirit came down like a waterfall, gushing down on me. I wept just as much. The Lord then said, “Your labor has not been in vain.” I then knew I was leaving All Nations Church and Mahesh Chavda Ministries.
Within 6 months, I had given my notice and left, having my job back at Derek Prince Ministries for 5 more years.
In 2003, Laurie and I participated in a DPM China outreach, distributing Derek’s Mandarin-Chinese translated books and Bibles throughout the Chinese mainland, concealed in our “tourists’ bags”. At stops along the 17-hour train ride, the books were passed on to underground Chinese Christians.
Upon reaching Beijing, we had a scheduled “tourist trip” to the Great Wall. It was at that point, on the bus, when Laurie leaned over to me and said, “The Holy Spirit spoke to me, and He said, “You can carry His bags.”
I knew exactly what He meant!
In 2004, following the successful DPM completed conference, which featured Barry & Batya Segal of Vision For Israel, Barry approached DPM’s International Executive Director, David Selby, to request that I join the staff as his USA Director.
In the first year of the next 5 years, I relocated the ministry office of Vision For Israel from Savannah to Charlotte, before leaving in 2010 to found Love For His People.
