"Are you aware?" - Now Think On This message by Steve Martin Love For His People

July 18, 2019 Greetings friends of Love For His People ministry. Are you aware, that with so much upheaval and tension in the nation(s) that the Lord is on the move, good things are coming, and we can have peace and rest in Him? True. In my last update, I included a recent message entitled, Now Think On This, "Been Offended?". I guess we all have, for it was among the most read ever. If you missed it, or need to re-read it again, given what may have happened since then, go ahead. And before your coming days are all booked up, below are two events I think you might want to know about if you are in the Charlotte, North Carolina, and Rock Hill, South Carolina areas. (Hint: Paul Wilbur concert. Free registration! Yeah!) You might even consider doing some traveling. Fast-moving summer. 'Tis the times we are living in... Ahava and shalom, Steve Martin Founder/President Love For His People ministry Charlotte, NC USA P.S. We were delighted with the turnout on July 5, 2019, for the Strength For Israel gathering at Antioch International Church in Fort Mill, SC. Here is info on the next one, August 2, 2019: Strength For Israel. We will also have a friend from Israel come greet us. Now Think On This Been Offended? "A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, and contentions are like the bars of a castle.” Proverbs 18:19, NKJV It happened again. Just after we finished the worship team practice for the Sunday morning gathering. An offense sent my way. Just great. And it happened then, on the Friday before, a few hours before we were to meet for the first time in The Barn for the monthly Strength For Israel gathering, with me leading the worship team, I got offended. (Read the rest: Been Offended?) You coming? Look here: Paul Wilbur is coming back to Antioch International Church, with full concert! Hosted by Peter Wyns and Christians For Messiah Ministries. Also conference with Michael Brown and Rick Joyner. What Say You? by Steve Martin 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 have been written to bring you encouragement, some further insight, and to help you get to 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. What Say You? offers inspiration on how we can then live and move in this life, to cause godly effect and actually, cause something positive to happen or bring about in our lives, our families, our cities, our workplaces, and our country.  May you be about His business, as He directs you in your going. P.S. Thanks Ben Martin for the great new cover! Paperback or Kindle. Amazon Paperback $9.95 Kindle $2.99 Love For His People, Inc. P.O.

"Mary Smith" - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Mary Smith

“For I satisfy the weary ones and refresh everyone who languishes." (Jeremiah 31:25, NASU)

The Lord is the God of Refreshment. He alone can satisfy the soul, and the deep longing within each of us, for more than what we can find apart from Him.

This is not my normal Now Think On This message, but it is an important one. Please read the following letter from one who happens to be my sister, Mary Smith, from Charleston, South Carolina, and discover for yourself how the power of God, with her testimony, can, and will further, bring life to you and others.

She sent it to Dr. Peter Wyns, Head Pastor of Antioch International Church, in Fort Mill, South Carolina, Pastors Jesse and Elizabeth Enns, and the staff.

Thank you, Mary Smith!

Dear Dr. Peter Wyns and staff,

It is with great joy I am writing to share with you and your staff on how the Lord used your body to empower and stir up my husband, Bob, and myself.

Last August a dear friend and I came to visit Antioch with my brother Steve Martin and his wife Laurie, and just soaked in the power and presence of the Lord. Speaking for myself I felt very dry for not having a cooperate time of worship that was in “spirit and truth” for a very long time. I went up for prayer with the prayer team and Ed and Suzanne Brigham hit the mark when ministering to me. I felt so encouraged and loved.

My husband and I came back in the spring and again we were filled with the anointing of God and a very strong stirring in our spirits.  Besides attending Sunday AM service we came to the Friday evening cooperate worship time and entered in with such gladness and joy. We went up for prayer and were ministered to by Ed and Suzanne Brigham.

My brother Steve had had a dream about a month earlier of Bob with a “serpent” after him and indeed we had been in warfare, particularly with Bob’s business. Ed spoke to Bob “that the Lord was cutting off the head of the serpent and empowering him in his walk with wisdom and in his worship time.” WOW!! (Bob had been a former worship leader in Charlotte and was just beginning to pick it up again and was about to be leading a corporate prayer meeting lasting up to 5 hours.)

Bob & Mary Smith, Steve & Laurie Martin

Well after that quickening in our spirits, Bob came back to Charleston and preached the best message he has ever given! I have started having prophetic dreams and my discernment has taken on a new level as well.

THEN I returned to the Women’s Conference with Paul Wilbur. I have loved Israel for a long time under the teachings of Derek Prince and have been blessed to have visited there twice with Steve. But at this conference, a supernatural understanding came to me about the One New Man.

I didn’t know what it was at first and tried to explain it to Steve. I asked him with tears rolling down my face, what am I supposed to do with this? (We are currently in a Baptist Church and the Lord has given us favor there.) Steve said, “Share it.”

I was captivated with Paul Wilbur’s story of what the Lord was doing during Shabbats in Florida and I loved hearing that his wife was very involved in this. I came home and suggested to Bob we start having Shabbats and invite people in and give them a “taste” of God’s feast and we started in!

Since then we have had over 3 Shabbats in our home (1 a month), and one Passover meal; each one here with over 9 people. The largest has been 19! We set a “banquet” table each time with our best china and crystal and really wanted to honor the Lord with our efforts. One meal we had 3 churches represented. We had special guests in to share their love for Israel and the response has been so encouraging with many wanting to know more.

I just finished the book “Israel’s Coming Revival” (Dr. Peter Wyns) and it is like starting all over in the Word, going deeper into the truths the Lord is revealing to me. 

It is still very hard for me to put into words what He is revealing to me about the end times and our place with Israel and the Church.

I am very thankful for Antioch, for you, Peter, my loving brother Steve, Liz & Jesse, and the whole staff on their love and commitment to serving God and His people.

Thank you so very much and we look forward to all of our return visits and to the gathering in October with Paul Wilbur.

Love thru Christ,

Mary L Smith

With this testimony, and with what the Lord is doing in and through others, I encourage you today to give yourself afresh to His purposes today. I also would encourage you to read a recent testimony and prophetic word given to me, which I entitled, "The Baby is Being Birthed".

May you be refreshed today in your spirit, soul, and body, through the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach. Purpose in your heart to do so, and see what He will do.

Now think of this,

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin
