We Bless by Steve Martin
"Yes, they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things.” Romans 15:27, NASU
Every time the Lord gives me the opportunity to go to Israel as part of our Love For His People Ministry, I greatly enjoy spending time with our good friends among the Jewish people. Some we have known for 15 years now. Blessing them, as the good Lord has instructed us as Christians, has been on my heart now for over 46 years, beginning when I was first given the understanding of our debt to Israel and the Jewish people. Because of their faithfulness to the living God of Israel in spiritual things, we now have an indebtedness to them in material things.
Because of His faithfulness to them above all, the Jews, we Gentiles, now believers, have been grafted into the olive tree as well.
“And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.” Romans 11:17-18, NKJV
Standing with the Messianic believers in the Land and befriending the “pre-believers” has enriched my spiritual life for many years. These connections the Lord has made continue to grow, as we see the days becoming darker and His light shining even more.
Being friends with Nissim and Hadassah, Nouri, Avraham, Uri, Danny Boy, Chaim and Deanna, Richard and Carolyn, Koken and Menalu, Tuly and staff, and the several ministries we have stood with and supported over the years allows the Holy Spirit to do what He has given us to do as our part in the restoration and salvation of Israel and His people re-gathered there once again, as He prophesied centuries ago.
I have written previous messages of the debt Christians owe the Jews, as I first heard and learned from the great Bible teacher Derek Prince. Because of the Lord’s granting them as a people the knowledge of Him and His Word, the Torah, through whom our Messiah Jesus has come, Yeshua HaMashiach, we are now too grafted into the olive tree, and can partake of their salvation and inheritance, among all Who call upon the Name of the Lord.
Understanding this basic, vital foundation in the life of believers is necessary for further unity in His Body, as He joins Jew and Gentile into the One New Man, the Bride that is being prepared for the return of the Son of God, Yeshua (Jesus).
Thank You, Father, for Your great plan of salvation, which has been laid out in completion through the Word of God, from Genesis through Revelation. Seeing Your fulfillment of prophecies and plans from Your heart encourages us to press on as we now do our part through faith and obedience.
Bless the people of Israel, Lord, and may those be blessed who realize the debt we owe them and seek to bless them also.
Ahava and shalom,

Provision Comes - Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry
Provision Comes
.png)
"In vain do you get up early and put off going to bed, working hard to earn a living; for he provides for his beloved, even when they sleep.” Psalm 127:2, Complete Jewish Bible
When I clearly heard the Lord back in mid-2009 to give my usual six-month notice that I was leaving my position at that time as the USA Director of an international ministry, I was sincerely seeking the Lord for what would be the provision going forward. He had finally given me the go-ahead to start our new ministry after years of wanting to do so, and my faith was founded on Him and the funds to make it happen.
Assuming that money would “just come” to cover
the ministry costs, and our own personal expenses, being I was obediently
following His leading, I was not overly concerned. After all, I was doing as He
said, and it was often heard, “Where the Lord guides, He provides.” I believed
it.
But after a few months, things got a bit uncertain.
And we didn’t have a savings account or dollars stuffed under the bed to cover
the mortgage, car payments (2), and regular monthly bills that still came. With
my income dropping from $70,000 per year to just over $11,000 (I still have all
my accurate tax returns for those years and following so as not to
“exaggerate”), my good wife was greatly encouraging me to do something.
Even if it meant for me getting a job at McDonalds if I had to.
Thankfully, her part-time job as a child
caretaker provided food and some other needed income for the home.
In my heart, I knew the Lord was going to
provide. I waited for His clear direction. In the meantime, He did lead me to
seek a part-time accounting job, which I did.
And then He spoke. “Use what I have already
given you.”
“What?” I asked.
He responded further. “Your home. The extra
bedroom.”
Being our four kids had moved out, we had two
extra bedrooms in our home, basically unused. That was 13 years ago, and we have
had a renter ever since, providing income for the ministry and more.
In addition to that, with the accounting
contract services jobs He has provided over those 13 years, it covered all
ministry expenses for frequent Israel trips, and gave us additional monthly
support for our Messianic Jewish friends living in the Land.
With that being said, we had decided to no
longer have a renter, to take a “break” from it. This August 2023 was to be the
end of it. And I thought, “There goes my Israel ministry trip funds” as I had
known. I even began to think that there would be no trips to Israel in 2024. And
so, I again put it in the hands of the Lord to see where His next means of
provision were to come from, for He hadn’t removed the calling and ministry
that He had first given 13 years ago.
And then on Aug. 7, 2023, I got a voice message
from someone responding to a “room rental ad” I had placed in January of this
year (2023) but had placed the ad on “pause” in February. How did that happen -
that it was seen?
When I mentioned the call to Laurie, she
responded rather positively, surprisingly to me, after I had already told the
person we no longer were renting the room.
And then Laurie had the person come over that
same night…and now we are going to be back having a renter here near the end of
the year, after giving it a few months break. And the rent income will be double
what we were getting from the last one! Ministry income!
The Lord does provide. He is always faithful to
enable us to fulfill what He has called us to do. Each one of us, if we but
keep our eyes fixed on Him.
As He promises to each of us in faith, “…and let
us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus,
the author and perfecter of faith…” Hebrews 12:1-2, NASU
What He has called you to do, continue doing it.
Even when it looks like it may be “done and over”, He will still make a way,
until it is really done and over, and we have reached our eternal reward in
heaven.

Being Faithful to the End - new book by Steve Martin
Aug. 4, 2023 Charlotte, North Carolina
Greetings to my family and friends of Love For His People Ministry.
I am grateful to the Lord that He continues to give me words of encouragement and inspiration to share with you. And then once I have accumulated a good many I like to publish in a book, making it easier to read as a morning devotional or to pick up anytime and hear what He may be saying again.
That said, I have now published my 37th book, Being Faithful to the End.
Being faithful to the end is what each of us has been called to do, by the One Who created us and gives us all we need to complete the tasks set before us.
As it is written in Hebrews 3:14-15: “For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ.”
As you read the chapters I have written over a period of several months, I pray you will continue to take the next steps necessary to hear the Lord daily, understand His Word, and obey Him as He leads you into new and amazing ways.
Whether you are a new believer or one who has known the Lord since your youth, as I have, may His ongoing love and encouragement guide you in all things, as you continue to be faithful to the end of your life.
The messages in this book:
1. Keep On Keeping On
2. When All Else Fails
3. When No Becomes Know
4. Pioneers
5. Giving Life
6. Heart of Compassion
7. When You Have Nothing
8. Enough
9. Oppressed
10. How I Learned To Give
11. Justice – It Will Come
12. Carry Them On Your Shoulders
13. Remember the Markers
14. In the Heart of God
15. Next Step 1
16. The King and His Bride
17. Searchin’
18. Trust and Forgiveness
19. Through It All
20. Messiah
21. Final Word
For the next 5 days, beginning tonight, Saturday, Aug. 5, 2023 at 12 am PDT, the Kindle version will be free for download (normally $2.99). This will end on Aug. 9 at 12 am midnight PDT.
You don't have to have a Kindle iPad to download. You can get it on your mobile phone or laptop.
