INTRODUCTION

Walking in the Spirit is needed for the feeble, the fearful, those lacking vision or direction. Most certainly they are needed for those who want to be courageous, victorious, and actually accomplishing something with their life.

Living in today’s world, where every foundation that can be shaken is being shaken, as believers, we need the gifts and the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our life. Without them, we too will perish and fall along the way.

Through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Lord’s spiritual gifts can be imparted to us. Through the daily work of the Holy Spirit, His fruit can grow within us.

“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, NKJV

Gal 5:22-24
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-24, NASU

Whether you have started walking with the Holy Spirit just recently, or have for several decades, as I have, we need a daily refreshing and recharging that the Lord provides for us, through the action of His Holy Spirit, working in and through us.

As you read these life stories, inspiring lessons, and hope-filled messages of love and faith that I share with you, may your walk in the Spirit grow and flourish to be an overcomer in the world.

DEDICATION

To all those who desire to know the Holy Spirit, by learning of His ways, growing in the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and experiencing His gifts that enable us to be overcomers and light in a dark world – to these I dedicate this book.

I pray that you will be encouraged in your walk, and faithful to the call on your life that our Lord Jesus has given for you to do.
We need each other. We need His fruit. We need His gifts. May each one in the Body of Christ know their part and fill it.

Commitment - To Do or Not To Do - Steve Martin Published Aug. 18, 2019


Commitment - To Do or Not To Do
Steve Martin

Published Aug. 18, 2019


Paperback: $14.95


A few months ago I sensed the Lord wanted me to write a book on being committed, day in and day out. Not just about some fad that comes and goes, as they do each decade, or even monthly, but of the eternal perspective He has, and gives to us. 

People need something to stand on, that doesn’t shift with every wind and movement that comes along. They need solid ground, especially when their world begins to shake. There is no other on which to stand, on which to build one’s life, than on the Word of God, the Torah, the Bible. The very one Who has created everything certainly knows what is needed for each of us to achieve fulfillment, purpose, and the destiny He has given in His ultimate realm of salvation, redemption, and life with Him, for us and the nations. 

When the Holy Spirit gave me the thought to search for all the messages I had thus far written, now going beyond 470 in these last 9 years, that had the word “commit” or “commitment” in them, I was amazed when over 70 appeared on the list. Being an accountant by trade, that is 15%. Not an insignificant number. Thus those compiled messages in this book will reveal at least one thing – that our Lord is faithful and committed, and as we choose to follow Him, we too will be as He is.

Choose this day to seek Him, know Him, and be committed above all to Him. Then you too will discover that His Word is the final word.

All of us need more courage. We are called by God to be on a specific mission, to carry out His command to take the Gospel to all the nations. Some will do it while communicating in friendship among their neighbors. Others will be a light in the work office, being there to speak hope and encouragement to the other staff members who may be struggling to make ends meet or who need a word of truth and love in helping the difficult child at home.

Still, others will hear the call to join a mission organization, or travel through contacts in their church congregation, to bring the light of the Gospel to the distant land.


But more likely our need for courage proves itself most in the ongoing struggle we face daily as we stand strong against the winds of change, the forces arrayed against believers, who are committed to adhering yet to the principles and foundational stones found in the eternal Word of God. Even as the Bible itself is mocked, lied about, and spoken as irrelevant to this day and age, we who have been taught the truth must be the ones to stand strong upon it.

DEDICATION
  
I dedicate this book to the next generation of those who have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and have been shown mercy and grace.

My heart and prayer are for our sons and daughters to have a life-changing experience of who the Lord is, who He wants them to be, and what they can do to impact this world with the spiritual gifts and calling that rests on them.

The world is awaiting how they will impact it with the truth of the Gospel. If ever we needed them, it is now.

INTRODUCTION

Be encouraged in your daily walk with God, for when it is all said and done, our God wins!

God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and God the Holy Spirit – the Three in One – rule from their heavenly throne. Together they are daily involved in the lives of men, women, and children in all the nations. The establishment of their kingdom here on earth is taking place. And one day Jesus, Yeshua HaMashiach, will set up His earthly throne in Jerusalem, Israel, the place where He left from in 33 AD, promising to return to that same place.

Knowing the last chapter recorded at the end of the Book, the Word of God, the Bible, as revealed to John the Apostle, we know that from the beginning in Genesis, to that ending chapter in Revelation, the Lord has been preparing His people and bringing about His plans and purposes.

Both believing Jews and Gentiles are seeing His work and getting involved.

These messages are to encourage you, including among them I trust, in your walk with the Living God of Israel.

What Say You?  - Where do you stand in God's Plan? 
New cover! - July 11, 2019, My 21st book!  

Steve Martin, Love For His People ministry


What say you about where you stand in God's plan? Are you fitting in? Do you care? Are you where you think you are, or where you think you should be?

These messages by Steve Martin have been written to bring you encouragement, some further insight, and to help you get where you, and He, wants you to be in the Body of Christ.

The Lord is putting His people together - both in Israel with the Jews making aliyah and with believers around the world finding out their place and purpose in congregations. 

May you also do so, as He directs you in your going.



First published in May 2019 with this original cover, as below.

Love For His People ministry - Books Published 2013-2018 - Martin Lighthouse Publishing


Love For His People ministry
BOOKS PUBLISHED
Martin Lighthouse Publishing
2013-2018

Dec.22, 2018

I give thanks to the Lord Jesus (Yeshua) for the gifts He has given - to write, publish, and distribute these books as a ministry outreach of Love For His People, Inc.

After sitting unpublished for 10 years in my garage cabinet, my first book, The Promise, One Man's Journey To See God's Word Revealed, was published in 2013. It was soon followed by Ahava Love Letters in the same year, upon my return from the ministry's Ahava Adventure ("love" in Hebrew is ahava) trip to Israel that October. 

Through the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, with grace, joy, and creative thoughts, and a few hundred pictures from my photo albums, the other books came forth, written and then self-published through Martin Lighthouse Publishing.

My son Ben Martin skillfully did the covers for "The Promise" and "Leadership Through Love." Through Xulon Press, Ahava Love Letters was printed. All the other 16 books were done online using my photos and the layout tools of CreateSpace/Kindle Publishing (Amazon).

All but one of the 19 books are available in paperback from Amazon (Kindle e-versions also) and from our ministry office. (Ahava Love Letters can be purchased only through the Love For His People ministry office here in the Charlotte area.)

As we continue to share the love of God the Father through these published works, and future writings yet to come forth, my heart is so grateful for the opportunity to bring hope, inspiration, love, and courage to those who have been touched through this outreach.

From my heart to yours, ahava and shalom,

Arms of Love - latest book by Steve Martin. Available now on Amazon & Kindle!

Arms of Love: That's What It Is All About


In 2010 the Lord God of Israel, my Savior Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach), led me to start the ministry we call Love For His People. Its primary purpose is to share the love of the Lord with the nation of Israel, Jews around the world, and the people in all the nations as we can. For that end, through social media, writing and distributing books, and in person ministry, we are seeing the love of Jesus spread. We are grateful that He has given us much love in order to do just that. 

We often hear the word “love” spoken out loud, and written about, in many ways. It has contrasting meanings to the wide range of people that exist, as it is expressed in different methods through people. When it has all been said and done, there is an eternal love that will stand the test of fire. Because the biblical expression of love, laying down one’s life for his friends, has eternal value, this love from God the Father to His creation is the type that I most seek after and try to share. 

In these short chapters of Arms of Love, which is also the title of a song Laurie and I sang while leading various church worship meetings, and as the lead singers in our Ahava Love Band, I share some aspects of how I believe the Bible speaks of love. 

For you who are about to read this, my prayer is that your heart will be enlarged with His, and you too will become one, even more, to give love for His people, both Jew and Gentile, both saved and unsaved. I hope that as you read these chapters, you will become more inspired to spend time with the Lord, experience His heart of love, and share it with our fellow man. The world needs to know the love of God.

About the Author

Steve Martin served with three Christian ministries from 1987-2010, all having a national and international outreach focus. During that time he made 14 ministry trips to Israel, China, India, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom. On his overseas journeys Steve enjoyed sharing written journal entries with family and friends back home, through Internet media. 
His light-hearted stories gave an up close and personal touch for those reading along. Many could imagine being there themselves. His extensive collection of photos taken during these trips, of both local scenery and common people on the streets, has touched thousands through their varied images. 
In 2010, Steve and Laurie began Love For His People, Inc, a 501©3 non-profit humanitarian aid ministry. This work touches the natural and spiritual lives of those around them with needed encouragement and strength. His regular messages "Now Think On This", posted on the Love For His People blog, the Now Think of This blog, Facebook,Twitter and LinkedIn, feature words of spiritual enrichment, plus selected photos. 
Since 1994, Steve and his good wife Laurie have lived in the Charlotte, NC area, after having homes in Illinois, Michigan and Florida. Now married for more than 38 years, they enjoy their four adult children and spouses (Josh and Chelsie, Ben, Hannah and Jonathan, Christen and Andrew), along with our seven additional grandchildren – Daniel, Logan, Dylan, Jensen, Payton, Jack and Levi. While continuing to serve organizations with his accounting skills, he enjoys writing, photography and growing the ministry of Love For His People, Inc.
