The Baby is Being Birthed - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

The Baby is Being Birthed

“Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.” (Revelation 12:1-2, NKJV)

On Sunday, May 19, 2019, during the Antioch International Church morning meeting, in Fort Mill, South Carolina, the Lord gave me this word of “the baby being birthed.” I am grateful that Maynard Porter was able to capture most of it on video. (The YouTube link of the recording on our Love For His People website is below.)

The word came during the time that Pastor Elizabeth Wyns Enns had been blowing the shofar during the worship. As she stood on the podium platform, she directed the sound of the shofar to the four corners of the globe, moving the shofar circular and then stopping at each point, directing the sound from corner to corner.

(You can also see that video on our channel with the link below.)

From my seat in the middle section directly in front of the podium, I began to sense the Lord giving me a word to share. All I got was that the “Lion of Judah was roaring.” I momentarily hesitated, but then knew I had to obey and share whatever would follow, so I walked to the front, crossed another section of chairs to the right and spoke to Pastor Jesse Enns, standing on the front row of the right section of chairs.

“I believe the Lord is roaring like a lion,” I spoke to him, waiting the assurance to speak publicly at this time. He nodded and said the extra podium mic was on the stage platform. I went up, picked it up, touched the shofar that Liz was holding so she knew of my presence, and when she gave the look of acknowledgment, I proceeded to speak what the Lord was giving me.

I started declaring that the Lord was roaring like a lion, and He was on the move.

At that point, the rest of the prophetic word was recorded by Maynard Porter, from the back section of the seats. Here is the transcription of the prophecy from his recording. (Thank you, again, Maynard!)

“He rules in the earth. There is nothing that will happen apart from Him. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. You need not fear. You need not look around and see that which is being shaken because He is the Lord and He is the One who makes the travail come. The baby is being birthed, the baby is being released.

You are in the midst of that time. You are the ones that I have chosen, that I have called, and you are the ones who will see it happen in your midst today.

Be not afraid. Do not put down about you but see that the Living God of Israel is on the move.”

Scripture speaks of the time, in the end of days, when shaking, travail, and fear will come upon the earth as the time draws near for Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus the Messiah, to come again and take up His rightful throne in Jerusalem, Israel.

As it is written, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.  But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.” (1 Thessalonians 5:3-10, KJV)

So what does this prophetic word I delivered mean for you and I?

Here is what I can say, as we continue to see prophetic signs from centuries ago being fulfilled right before our eyes. It is happening now. Read Matthew 24 for what Yeshua (Jesus) said would happen in the last days, the end of times.

Here is a brief overview, fulfilled already in our day and hour that we live in, with more to come.

1.      Israel became a nation in 1948. Check.

2.      Jews are returning to the Promised Land after 2000 years in Diaspora (pushed out of Israel into the nations of the world, since 70 AD.) Check.

3.      Persecution of Christians and Jews has never been greater at any time in history than now. Check.

4.      Wars and rumors of wars abound.  Check.

5.      Nation rises against nation. Check.

6.      Deception among Christians and all others grows astronomically. Check.

7.      False prophets. Famines. Pestilence. Check. Check. Check.

8.      Gospel being preached all around the world - satellite TV, Internet, word of mouth. Check.

Am I saying the end is near?

I am believing that the baby is being birthed, speaking of those who will fulfill the call, young and old, and will accept the mantles put upon their shoulders from the Lord to be bold, to be strong, to hear and act as directed by the Lord, in order to fulfill the great commission, the last day thrust of the Living God of Israel.

He is speaking loud and clear, and we best be about our Father’s business.

As Paul Wilbur sings on his new CD release, hear the “Roar from Zion”! (And by the way, I highly recommend that entire project by Paul and his team, recorded in Jerusalem last fall!)

Now think of this,

Ahava and shalom,

A Lighthouse & Watchman - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

A Lighthouse & Watchman

Note: In a recent communication from good friends from Israel, I was reminded of this message the Lord gave me in Feb. 2016. Even so more valid today.  Steve Martin

“I am God. I have called you to live right and well. I have taken responsibility for you, kept you safe. I have set you among my people to bind them to me, and provided you as a lighthouse to the nations, to make a start at bringing people into the open, into light: opening blind eyes, releasing prisoners from dungeons, emptying the dark prisons.” (Isaiah 42:6-7, THE MESSAGE)

We have been hearing much in our Sunday gatherings on our roles as being watchmen. I take that word seriously, and act on it - to pray, to proclaim, to write accordingly, and then to post on our blog Love For His People. Even as the watchman of old sought the Lord, listened to His voice, and spoke out what they were told, I too want to be one who does that.

While being faithful as a watchman to bring the warnings that come with the territory, there is also always hope in the midst of it all, as that comes straight from the Father’s heart. His light brought forth, as a lighthouse, guides us through the sea of life.

Jesus’ love for the nations causes Him to bring awareness to His people of what is coming. His prophetic words, recorded in the historical Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, have proven over and over again of His loving actions. The Lord God of Israel, the Messiah, has continually sought to draw us to Himself through those writings, and current warnings.

Another practical, visual way the Lord has also demonstrated His light shining in the world has been through the ocean and lakeside lighthouses. Located on many coasts throughout the world yet today, these beacons of light through the centuries have given direction to the incoming vessels, and hope to the ones anxiously watching for a light to guide them safely into the harbor. They have stood tall while withstanding the raging seas and mighty storms that have pounded and battered at their foundations through the years.

Lighthouses are a vivid example of the Lord’s hope, standing strong and tall in the battle, shining forth the beam of hope to show us the way.

One summer in the late ’90s our family took the time for a vacation trip, to do the eight hours of

travel from Charlotte to the Atlantic Coast of North Carolina. Our goal was to visit all seven lighthouses, from Currituck as the northernmost one, stopping at the most famous and tallest Cape Hatteras on the Outer Banks, with the final destination being close to the southern border with South Carolina.

Cape Hatteras on the Outer Banks of North Carolina

We did it in the seven days we had. We started at the northern end, first with Currituck Beach Light Station, followed by Bodie Island Lighthouse, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Ocracoke Lighthouse, Cape Lookout, Oak Island Lighthouse, and finally Old Baldy, on Bald Head Island. Being that one is only accessible by water or air, we didn’t make it out to see it. Someday we may!

As lighthouses and as watchmen too, we have been called upon to stand strong, prepared in our spirits to announce the oncoming storms that seek to take out or overtake the Lord’s people. As lighthouses in the spiritual realm, watchmen are to stand ready to shine the light, the silver lining of hope, as the darkness seeks to consume the continents with its encroaching power. The Lord has given us the weapons of warfare and the fortitude established in our character to be the watchmen and the spiritual lighthouses.

We have been prepared for the war ahead.

Now think on this,

What Do You Do When…? - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

What Do You Do When…?

“But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house." Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” (Matthew 13:57-58, NKJV)

What do you do when you have tried to share the love of the Lord with another, be it family member, a friend who you are growing within that relationship or someone you never met before, but feel compelled to speak to them, and they have a negative response?

Or what happens when you have a call on your life, that you know the Lord has given you, to start a new job, begin a new ministry, move to another city or state because you believe the Lord is speaking to you to do that, and others don’t understand it? Or they may just flat out and oppose your action, or you yourself?

Trust me, I know. Having moved my wife and kids several times, to several different cities and states, with the strong belief that it was the Lord, doesn’t get you the brownie points, nor the “Rah! Rah!” you may expect, or at least hope to, from close family and friends at times. In fact, I have had people simply oppose the idea, the thought, that I had heard the Lord, and I was going to fall off the deep end because of it, if I continued in that belief.

Follow Jesus, no matter what may come your way.

For those who have gotten the same response, or treatment, you know it hurts. Especially when the ones you really wanted to be excited for you, almost got to the point of now hating you. You were “leaving them” to go after some dream you said the Lord Himself, yes, the very God in heaven, happened to give you. Really? He spoke to you?

As was so, the true story about Joseph, of course, is a very prime example given to us to hold onto. You can read again his family treated him, and how he later had to overcome what happened to him, coming from the reactions of his family.

“He told his father too, as well as his brothers, but his father rebuked him: “What is this dream you have had? Do you really expect me, your mother and your brothers to come and prostrate ourselves before you on the ground?” 11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (Genesis 37:10-11, Complete Jewish Bible)

Jesus (Yeshua) faced the same challenges, even more so. He called Himself, “Messiah. Son of God. The One who takes away the sins of the world.” Not everyone received His words, nor His miraculous actions.

Remember His family’s reaction and those who knew Him growing up? Recall the ones He attended the synagogue with?

“At this, because he said, "I am the Bread that came down from heaven," the Jews started arguing over him: "Isn't this the son of Joseph? Don't we know his father? Don't we know his mother? How can he now say, 'I came down out of heaven' and expect anyone to believe him?" (John 6:41-42, THE MESSAGE)

And then, as history is written, they had Him crucified.

The time is coming and now is even for many believers in nations outside of the USA, where this is a reality. Standing up for your faith in the One Who delivered you, saved you, and then said, “Come follow Me”, are being martyred for their faith.

But their reward is in heaven. For eternity. Forever.

So what do you do when you are misunderstood, laughed at, questioned about your thinking and your faith?

You keep on believing in the Lord, You keep on trusting in His guidance. You surround yourself with those who DO understand, who DO know, who DO walk as you do and together celebrate the life we have in the One who is leading and directing our steps.

And if those who are opposing your move in the Lord won’t consider what you know to be true, or accept what you have to offer, then move on, as Jesus Himself told His disciples, “Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. And when you go into a household, greet it. 

If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!” (Matthew 10:11-16, NKJV)

Jesus has the final answer. After all, He rose from the dead to prove it.

Now think on this.

Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).
