Do you need more guidance? Steve Martin, Love For His People, weekly message, photos, videos

 

June 27, 2025 Greetings to you once again. I truly enjoy creating these weekly messages for you, sharing some good news and helping you grow in your faith as you daily walk with our Lord Jesus (Yeshua). Please read my message, "If You Seek Me", another word on guidance that I feel is so vital in these turbulent times. Also included in this edition, which I will do each week, are featured photos. You will see a "Bird Photo of the Week" photo, an "Israel Photo of the Week", and a video to encourage you. With over 20,000 images and 2,300 videos I've taken over the years, I'll always have some photos and videos to share with you. Enjoy the upcoming July 4th weekend. Before that, please enjoy the two videos below, which honor our military. Be blessed in all your blessings, Ahava and shalom,  Steve Martin Love For His People Ministry P.S. Since many of us enjoy worshiping the Lord with good music, I've added a selection I recorded at King of Kings Church in Jerusalem. I will also include a good music selection each week.

Photo by Steve Martin If You Seek Me “And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 NASB On Sunday, June 22, 2025, as I sat on our light-brown, cozy couch, feet propped up on the square, brown fake-leather footrest in the middle of our living room, watching the 5th season of The Chosen, episode 3... Jesus spoke a word to me. Actually, it was through Jonathan Roumie, who wonderfully portrays Yeshua in the powerful series The Chosen, Season 5, episode 3. The Lord likes to do that. Speaks to us through human vessels, which at times we take for granted. In this episode, Yeshua had just delivered a stunning, in-your-face word to the Pharisees and Sadducees at the gate of the Second Temple, leaving them fuming under their heavy robes. He then responded to one of his disciples who was chasing after Him as He left. The disciple was concerned that He had just made them really mad, and they were going to come after Him. In my words, not a direct quote, He responded, half mockingly, “Maybe if they seek Me, they will find Me.” Have you ever sought the Lord, for real, wanting an answer to a concern, a problem, a directive in your life, and sincerely wanting an answer? Yes, you have. As I have too. At the time of this writing, I am 70 years old, although I no longer say, “70 and 7 months,” as little kids do. Even though that is true, once again, the Lord Who leads and guides us by His Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh in Hebrew, has given me a choice. Again. I had thought I had “retired” seven years ago and could now sit on my front porch in Charlotte, North Carolina, rocker and read another Joel Rosenberg thriller, or Abraham Lincoln biography. I heard Him call my name. Again. “If you seek Me, I will lead you on to greater things.” (*See more about this part, as included below.) So, what was I going to do? Dismiss it as yet another time the still, small voice wasn’t needing to pay attention to? Should I respond with the common “No” that the Bible teacher, Bob Mumford, said decades ago is the most common reaction we give when the Lord presents a new adventure? For our best good, we need to hear, obey, and follow no matter where He leads. This is our daily choice, if we truly want to be followers of Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah. Our Lord. Our God. The One Who has always promised to do just that, to lead us in the way we are to go. “Thus says Adonai, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Isra’el: 'I am Adonai, your God, who teaches you for your own good, who guides you on the path you should take.” Isaiah 48:17, CJB (Complete Jewish Bible) Ahava and Shalom, Steve Martin P.S. *I did in fact receive this confirming word from a prophetically gifted woman, out of the blue, whom I trust, (Nancy Shupp) who wrote this in an email to me on June 14, 2025. It came in my InBox, days after I had seriously started seeking the Lord about a matter He set before me. “As I was praying for you, I heard the following: Thank you for responding to the call to come walk with me. You didn’t despise that it is a ministry that would never bring fame or riches. You only wanted to please me. I treasure our walks together and being able to bless others through you.    You haven’t sought glory or recognition, but Heaven knows your name. Our walk is changing, but don’t be afraid. The road ahead is even more glorious than the one behind us. I love you. I bless you, mighty man of God, and speak that everywhere your feet touch, the enemy flees, and light and love are released.”   Thank you, Nancy! And if you have known me for a little while, you may have heard of or seen my video recordings, “Walk With Me,” that I have been creating for many years. It is something close to my heart that the Lord said in this prophetic word. P.S.S. I will pray for you if you let me know what is on your heart. Seriously. I normally pray in tongues, for the Holy Spirit knows exactly what you need, when you need it, and how you need the answer, as you too seek Him. Please let me know.

We are living in the last days, the times prophesied long ago, right before the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, returns. Even as He spoke to the prophets of old in Israel, continuing through Jesus’ time on earth, and with the early church, the Lord is fulfilling His promise. His Eternal Word that He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh, and we would prophesy. Prophesy comes in many ways – through the spoken word, signs, dreams, visions, tongues. The Lord uses all to speak to His people, give them guidance along the way, and show His provision for the plans He has for us. As we walk along His path chosen for us, He desires to encourage and reveal His plans to us. He most certainly uses His Written Word. He also uses prophetic words. Here are a few that He has given to me. I am continually amazed at how He speaks, how He directs, and the assuring results of His guidance. We need the gifts of the Holy Spirit operating in these times. As the Bible says, He desires that all would prophesy, in order to assist believers in knowing His will, and speaking to non-believers that we serve an All-Knowing God, who shows us the way. The gifts of prophesy, seeing signs and wonders, and experiencing His love through His fascinating methods is for all. I hope you are encouraged in seeking Him as you read these stories of how He moved in my life. Steve Martin Buy now on Amazon PB $5.99, Kindle $1.99

Ballantyne Park, Charlotte, NC - Walk With Me, Steve Martin. What a beautiful park in our midst.

Another Walk With Me from the south part of Charlotte, North Carolina, in the office complex area of Ballantyne. The ducks, heron, tiger lilies, waterfalls, and small pond, surrounded by a footpath, make this an enjoyable place to visit. Any season, or any part of the day.

If You Seek Me - message by Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry

 

If You Seek Me

“And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”

Jeremiah 29:13 NASB

The Moment America Sealed it's Fate - Jeremy Gimpel: The Land of Israel Fellowship

June 23, 2025

Israel is under siege—from Gaza to Lebanon, from the Houthis in Yemen to jihadists within our own borders. And now, we've confronted our greatest threat yet: Iran. What happened next was nothing short of miraculous. In just 25 hours, Israel established dominance. Then came the unthinkable—a historic U.S. strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. Not a single Israeli was killed in Iran’s retaliation. Even direct missile hits landed in empty buildings. Over 1,000 attack drones missed their targets. This video reveals the spiritual dimension of the war—a divine thread woven through headlines and explosions. We’ll explore the connection to this week's Torah portion (Shlach), the hidden meaning behind the Hebrew word mimenu, and how this moment is reshaping the Middle East and the future of the world. ✨ This is more than geopolitics. It’s prophecy unfolding. 🔹 Watch now and open your eyes to the miracle that is Israel. 🔹 Stand with Israel. Stand with God.

WATCH LIVE: President Trump addresses the nation after U.S. bombs 3 Iranian nuclear sites - June 22, 2025

President Donald Trump said Saturday that the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel’s effort to decapitate the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict. There was no immediate acknowledgment from the Iranian government of any strikes being carried out. The country’s state-run IRNA news agency early Sunday reported an attack on the country’s Fordo nuclear site that activated air defenses. The agency did not elaborate. -- Associated Press
