Once Rejected But No More by Steve Martin

Sept. 4, 2025

Greetings to you once again.

Labor Day has come and gone. Fall season is here. Oh my.

I hope you too are looking forward to all that the Lord has in store for you and I. Be hopeful, expecting, and watching to see Him move in His people and this nation too.

My new message below, "Once Rejected But No More" shares truth. I hope you read it and are encouraged. Faith, hope, love, encouragement. A spoonful of each every day goes a long way.

My latest book is out, and opened as #1 on Amazon in new releases for "Jerusalem".

You can purchase your copy today. Click here: Love For His People - the Land and Friends of Israel"

Ahava and Shalom,

P.S. I love the fall. It shows His colors everywhere even more.

Once Rejected But No More

“I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He?...”Romans 11:1, NASB

All of us have felt rejection at some point in our lives. From the days of school, when some received that report card and one line had the “F” on it. Or the time we worked so hard to make the team, be it sports, an educational achievement, or the next position “up the ladder” on the job and the word came back to us, “Not good enough.”

Rejection carries pain that can linger for a long time, pushing people into dark holes, unhealthy lifestyles, or emotional stress that one cannot just rid away and have it gone.

Jesus (Yeshua) knew rejection. His own people, whom He came to save as the first ones on His list, denied He was their Messiah. They rejected His truth He spoke and demonstrated. They said, “This can’t be the One. He is not giving us rule over our enemies, the Romans.” They did not comprehend in their minds, nor in their hearts, that the Savior of the world was to first come as the Lamb, before returning as the Lion.

Walking among the Jews of Israel, as I have done so many times in their rightful Land, has given me a piece of the Father’s heart for His people, the ones whom He called, chosen, and placed in that Land to be His light to the nations, the Gentiles, the “goyim” as we are known in Hebrew.

And yet, while the nations immediately surrounding them, and throughout the world, continue to seek to steal, kill, and destroy, even as “their father” works through them, the Jews of Israel are seeing the mighty hand of the Living God of Israel, protecting, providing, and enabling them to live. He has brought them back to the land of Israel. He has not rejected them.

Though the world rejects them, the Eternal Father, the Living Savior, and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) are constantly revealing Himself to them. As they further call upon the Lord, He is drawing them to Himself.

Paul says in Romans 11:25-27, that Israel, the Jews, will be saved.

“For I do not want you, brothers and sisters, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written:

“The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.” “This is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” (NASB)

Demonstrating the love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit draws the chosen ones to Himself. As believers in Yeshua (Jesus), that too is in our hearts that HaShem, Adonai, Elohim has given us. We seek to love the Jews, even as He has loved us.

And so, we shall.

Am Yisrael Chai. “The people of Israel live.”

Ahava (love) and Shalom (peace),

Steve Martin

NEW BOOK - #1 ON AMAZON'S NEW RELESES FOR "JERUSALEM"

Love For His People. The Land and Friends of Israel

by Steve Martin (444 pages with 372 photos/images!)

In several of my previous 38 books, I wrote stories and chapters on Israel and our friends in the Land. Their lives, their courage, and the Ahava Adventures we have had, sharing our time with them in Eretz Israel.

In my desire to share these stories with you in a more concise manner, I have chosen the “best ones” and included in this book, “Love For His People – The Land and Friends in Israel”.

Having given almost 39 years so far (and this being my 39th book!) to loving and supporting the chosen people, as the Living God of Israel so ordained throughout the Bible of the Jewish people, it is proper and time.

Those who stand with Israel, and particularly Jerusalem, will receive the promised blessings given to those who do so. The ones who oppose the purposes of God for these people and this land will receive the eternal judgment He also promises He will hand out.

Sharing this book, containing some of my experiences in Jerusalem and all of Israel, is a joy, and also a promise to always stand with Israel.

May the good Lord, Yeshua HaMashiach, His Father, and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) touch your heart as they have touched mine.

Buy now on Amazon, Hardcover $19.95, Paperback $15.95, Kindle $2.99

We certainly are grateful for your support, which we will use for our volunteer months in Jerusalem. Contributions are welcome online by clicking here: DONATE HERE ON OUR WEBSITE

Be Not Unaware by Steve Martin

Be Not Unaware

“For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our affliction which occurred in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.” 2 Corinthians 1:8, NASB

Battles come. Be prepared. Prayed up. Read up. Connected.

The believer’s walk is not easy. Whoever sang the song, “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden” sometime back may have been reading what Paul went through in his trials. Or what we go through as we seek to walk in the calling the Lord has given us.

In this life we have trials. Promised in the Bible. And yet the best is coming. Eternal life. But as we look to heaven, and the reward that awaits us, we must continue to walk on earth in faith, in assurance of His leading us.

God’s Word says that first the natural comes, and then the spiritual. “However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.” 1 Cor. 15:46, NASB

Watch Israel and the Jewish people and you will know what I am talking about.

I often wondered about the verse that speaks about “abundant life” found in John 10:10. “The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, life in its fullest measure.” (Complete Jewish Bible)

At times here on earth I don’t find it so abundantly. In fact, there are days I long to be where He is, seated in heavenly places and already there. Be true – so do you.

But until our appointed mission, the one we have been apprehended for has been completed, the grace, strength, willingness, hopefulness found only in the Lord Jesus, must remain strong. For He alone is the Faithful One, the Giver of Life, the One Who carries us on unto the end.

Be not unaware that our enemy continues to war against us. In many trials, temptations, discouragements, and roadblocks. But in the Lord, we have the victory, and He will see us to the end.

Phil Wickman, contemporary worship leader, sings it well. What An Awesome God!

Believe it and keep walking on. Press forward to the finish line!

Ahava (love) and Shalom (peace),

Steve Martin

Blessings Defined by Jim Croft

Blessings Defined by Jim Croft

Most of the time when believers refer to getting blessed, the innuendo is in relation to spiritual experiences. A rebel is born-again; a meaningful insight jumps off the page during devotions; or perhaps you get smacked with one of those love nudges from the Holy Spirit that everyone enjoys. Those are indeed blessings, but they don’t encompass the entirety of what the Bible refers to when speaking of blessings.

Often, what the Bible identifies as blessings have tangible form. God blessed Abraham with heaps of gold and silver, herds of livestock, an abundance of camels and donkeys and male and female servants. (Genesis 24:35) Though his son, Isaac, was born into wealth, God blessed Isaac in his own right. His prosperity increased by such uncommon proportions that his heathen neighbors became envious. (Genesis 26:12-14) Jacob followed suit and became exceedingly wealthy in his own right in addition to his paternal family inheritance. (Genesis 30:43)

Under the Old Covenant, God promised fabulous blessings to demonstrate practical proof that Israel was in covenant with Him. Keep in mind that New Testament believers have a better covenant established on better promises. (Hebrews 8:6) God told the Jews that He would bring them into a land where they would not lack anything. Their gold, silver, flocks and herds would multiply. They were to build beautiful houses in which to dwell. It is impressive that God endorses longings for beautiful homes. (Deuteronomy 8:7-17)

Jesus made a similar promise. Any believer who is willing to sacrifice houses and lands for the sake of the Gospel qualifies to receive a 100-fold increase of the same in This Life, as well as eternal life in the hereafter. (Mark 10:28-30)

2 Corinthians 9:6-8 places the benefits of the grace of giving into an attractive package. Those who sow bountifully will reap bountifully to use as they wish. That includes personal desires, family matters and the purposes of the Kingdom.
