“David” by Steve Martin, Love For His People ministry

April 8, 2021 Charlotte, North Carolina USA

“So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!” Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.” 1 Samuel 16:12-13, NKJV

As I do, I am sure you know many who are named David. In fact, to keep them separate in conversations with people I have nicknamed one “Rabbi” and the other “Cowboy”. I will let you figure out how I arrived at those specific names on your own.

But we all know the one named David in Scripture. He at times was called the shepherd boy, the son of Jesse, the youngest boy, the warrior, the worshiper, the psalmist, and most noted of all the king of Israel. One source says he is mentioned 1,011 times in Scripture – Old and New Testaments combined.

Do you realize David was a Jew?

Born in the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, David was a chosen Jew, from whom came the Messiah.

“There were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, another fourteen from David to the Babylonian exile, and yet another fourteen from the Babylonian exile to Christ.” Matthew 1:17, THE MESSAGE

In many Christian circles, whether growing up or in our present churches, it is rarely understood that this king of Israel, a forefather of Jesus (Yeshua) Himself, was a Jew, as Jesus Himself was. Jesus was the Promised One who would come after David, having the rightful kingship to rule. God the Father had chosen David, a man after God’s own heart, and yet one who committed several grievous sins, to be part of Mashiach’s (Messiah’s) lineage.

“Always remember that Jesus Christ, a descendant of King David, was raised from the dead. This is the Good News I preach.” 2 Timothy, 2:8-9 Holy Bible, New Living Translation

Many of us read David’s writings every day as part of our Bible reading. The psalms are always available to bring us words of comfort, courage, and inspiration, as David expressed his heart readily and truthfully, of which we too can relate easily.

When I go to Israel again, hopefully yet this year for my 23rd time, I may stop in another hour at the tomb of King David, as many in Jerusalem do. Located in the lower level under the famous Upper Room, where Yeshua could have shared the Last Supper, the Passover Seder with His disciples, and visited regularly by many tour groups, David’s tomb is not so much, except daily by faithful Orthodox Jews who meet there in solemn prayer times. I am grateful I was allowed on several locations to take photos.

One of my favorite verses I first memorized is found within this prayerful meditation of David.

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret — it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.” Psalm 37:3-9, NKJV

David can be an inspiration to each of us as we meditate on the words inspired by the Holy Spirit which were written down and kept through all these centuries for our benefit. I hope you make it a consistent discipline to read them on a regular basis.

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin, Love For His People founder

This past week I was sent a vision from someone in South Africa, a dream from someone in New Zealand, and another dream from someone here in the US. All of them pointed to a coming storm over this nation. But, they also revealed a grand conclusion!

IS THE PROPHETIC MOVEMENT FUMBLING THE BALL AT THE GOAL LINE? by Mario Murillo

April 8, 2021 Mario Murillo Ministries

Because of the pandemic, the prophetic movement woke up to its true calling after years of living in a bubble. The pandemic was sobering, and the leftist takeover of America was a rude awakening. But the good thing was that prophets began to actually be prophets—speaking truth to power; calling the church to repent; and confronting evil government in a unified resistance.

Leaders of churches rightfully sued the government for banning worship services. Intercessors and seers rightfully instructed the church that their political neutrality and political ignorance led to the stealing of an election and the ongoing dismantling of our freedoms.

We began to understand how to contact our congressmen and how to expose the stream of lies from the media. We started praying and obeying. We did not just sing, “There’s an army rising up,” we became that army.

Most of all, the prophetic movement began to realize that they were raised up for this very moment—not to use prophecy as entertainment but as a weapon to expose devils, tear down strongholds and rebuke the politicians, professors, and celebrities who were plunging America into immorality.

In the bubble of the good times the prophetic movement got away with indulgences. Too many “words from the Lord” were simple flattery. Teachers relating stories that were nothing short of out-of-Bible experiences. A virtual reality dominated our terminology and our conferences. Artificial weapons and tactics replaced Biblical doctrine. We saw the prophetic beginning to fire blanks.

Now, that the nation is starting to reopen, the prophetic movement is being tempted back into those powerless old ways. In fact, I believe that religious spirits are preying on our nostalgic yearning for the good old day—days that we now know were a fantasy.

Voices are dusting off the old, tired platitude that we should not be involved in politics. We are starting to hear the worn-out message of how entitled we are to God’s protection. Just when we were finally ready to do the right thing, the enemy is trying to intimidate us, and lure us off the frontline.

But if we relapse, the movement will become worse than ever. Because this time we will indulge in compromise and imbalance with our eyes wide open, fully conscious of our mistake.

It is not by accident that the enemy is doing this now. Because today wokeness reached critical mass. When Major League Baseball, Coca Cola, and Delta Airlines asserted that requiring identification to vote is racist, removed any excuse for neutrality. They have fully declared war on this nation, you, your children, your church, and your God.

As Andrew McCarthy so efficiently put it: “The Left ruins everything. Sports, entertainment, toys, snack cakes, you name it. Their wokeness is a cancer, and it’s taking every enjoyable, unifying, non-political piece of American life and destroying it. In Georgia, their crusade against the state’s election law is built on a house of lies.”

We must fight off the religious spirit that wants to believe the storm has passed when the real storm has just arrived.

What does God want? I am convinced that we are to engage our time and energy on two imperatives:

1. Political and moral action: To organize and educate ourselves on how to terrify national Democrat leaders, how to win local elections, and train our people to know why they believe what they believe, and why they believe it. This means that the pulpit must take on abortion, gay marriage, transgender indoctrination of our children, and yes, racism—the racism of the Left that is turning minorities into victims.

2. Win souls with signs and wonders. Our California crusades have already proven that millions want Jesus. God has also demonstrated that He will heal the sick and give us notable miracles. Converting Americans is the surest way to transform the moral and political darkness in America.

This is our greatest hour. This movement can become the lightning America needs right now. We must not become weary in well doing. Let us not fumble the ball at the one-yard line!
