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,

"Walls of Protection & Restoration" - prophetic word, Chuck Smith - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Walls of Protection and Restoration
Steve Martin


“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 12:7-11, NKJV)


Giving thanks to the Lord is a good thing, as it brings us into His presence. This helps us to acknowledge that all that we receive, all the good that flows from His heart, is out of His love, daily demonstrated through His grace and mercy continually extended to us.

The gifts of the Holy Spirit are part of that expression of His love, given to His people, believers in Jesus (Yeshua). These supernatural acts, shared among those who have accepted and walk in these gifts, are to build up, edify, and give growth to His Body here on earth.

One specific gift is that of prophecy. As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, quoted above, this is one of those manifestations of the Spirit given for the profit of all. Having myself received and given prophetic words, I truly appreciate this wonderful gift the Lord has for us who believe.


Those with this gift, sharing it among individuals and congregations, bring the Rhema word of the Lord among us today. Coupled with that already written in the Scriptures, not adding or subtracting to the eternal Word but further explaining the current move and actions of God Almighty, through Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit, we indeed are built up, encouraged, and given strength to pursue the Lord and His kingdom further.

We can be truly grateful for the men and women whom the Lord has raised up, through years of training and discipline, as they express that gift within them. Among the congregation of Antioch International Church in Fort Mill, South Carolina, Chuck Smith is a seasoned prophet and speaks the Word of the Lord with accurate and inspiring confidence.

On Sunday, March 24, 2019, he brought forth this word, which I thankfully share with you now, paraphrased. You can hear the exact recording below.

"Jesus wants us to know the season that we are in. He is building the right wall and tearing down the wrong wall. He is removing walls that have been erected. We have got to allow those walls to come down. Walls of unforgiveness, anger, and despair. Let them fall. 

He is building around us walls of protection so we can grow into the call of God that He has for you. But you have got to come into the protective wall to be safe from outside harm. 
Walls have been built by people who have left, and they carried something in their heart that shouldn't be there. The Lord says there is going to be reunion in the coming days as He comes against those walls that don't belong, that shouldn't be erected. He is taking those down.

Forgiveness will bring about the reunion and a reuniting because the Lord says He has to have the right people together in the right for such a time as this, for there is going to be breakthrough in the heavenly realm, there is going to be supernatural ministry released out of this area. 

The Lord says I have to bring back together a specific group of people. Watch as the Lord brings down these walls, in Jesus' Name, and sets up the right wall." 

In one of my previous Now Think On This messages, which I wrote on March 9, 2019, entitled Pieces of the Puzzle, the Lord was also expressing His desire to bring back people together, to put in place each and every one of us, for His end-time purposes.

Listen to this recording of Chuck’s word, and be encouraged. Read also the words of Pieces of the Puzzle, and ask the Lord how He wants you to respond. You will be glad you do.

Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).

Not A Numbers Game - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Not A Numbers Game

Now Think On This
Steve Martin


“Make me grasp, Adonai, what my end must be, what it means that my days are numbered; (Psalm 39:5, Complete Jewish Bible)


On September 21, 2017 (based on the solar Gregorian calendar), Rosh Hashanah began at sundown on the Jewish lunar calendar. That day was the 1st of Tishrei, 5778. I have seen several articles written on the meaning of the new Hebrew year 5778, and find them all very fascinating.

The Lord our God is very, very detailed in all His ways. Just looking at the solar system, the formation of the earth itself, and then the created body that each one of us has - what an amazing Creator He is!  As the Psalms’ verse has been written, our days are numbered. He knows every second of every hour of every day of every year. He knows the numbers.

You and I can rest in the fact that He has His hand on everything, and as we put our continual trust in Him, He will make Himself more fully known and show us just how He has all of our ways He directs us in are certainly in good order.

Being a numbers guy, an accountant by trade, I pay attention to time, clocks, watches and calendars. My home ministry office has a shelf dedicated to clocks! (Just ask my good wife.)

In any given day, I am watching (no pun intended) to see when events happen, what prophetic meaning they have, and what the Lord is saying through them. He is speaking all the time to us through these time-tracking pieces, and we are wise if we discern what He is declaring. Sometimes what He is telling us is very loud and clear – through nature around us. Sometimes He speaks in a mystery, wanting us to search out further that which He is sharing with us.

Prophetic Stories - Signs Along the Way
One aspect of time that I believe is occurring is the acceleration of it as we know it, in this time and space. I wrote in my book “Prophetic Stories - Signs Along the Way” several years ago on how the Holy Spirit spoke to me of that acceleration. Since then, I can see it picking up further speed, as He brings about His purposes in our lives. 

Are you aware of any acceleration in your life?

Here is just one example in my walk I want to tell you about, to demonstrate the acceleration I believe we are living in. It is very simple, but at the same time, I believe it is a demonstration of what the Lord is doing in my life, and in many lives around the world.

In 2010, during the very early days of Love For His People, I started the blog of the same name. In that year I had a total of 24 posts, with less than 500 page views. Wow! I was excited. It then took until December 30, 2014, to reach 500,000 (four years later).


On Sunday, March 27, 2016, the page views total reached 1 million, taking just one year and three months to reach the second mark of 500,000, for a total of five years and three months to reach the million plateau. What was to be noted about this was that it occurred on that special Sunday on the Christian calendar - Resurrection Day! Again, I was excited! 


On January 30, 2017, the blog page views reached 1,500,000. This time it had taken only nine months to reach this level, since the million mark was surpassed. Time and counts were speeding up. The hand of the Lord was upon this.


On September 20, 2017, when the sun had barely gone down in Jerusalem to start the new year, 5778, on Rosh Hashanah (Yom Teruah), the blog page views surpassed the 2,000,000 mark. I was at my accounting job and was able to watch the count every so often to see when it crossed that line. It did so at 2 pm (Charlotte, North Carolina EDT), 9 pm Jerusalem time. That mark had come just eight months later since reaching 1,500,000 before. 

As you can see, I was able to record all of these snapshots of numbers on the website when they had occurred in time.

While it took five years and three months to reach the first million, from 2010 to early 2016, it had taken only one year and six months later on September 20, 2017, the Jewish New Year start at sundown in Jerusalem, to reach the second million mark. 


To some, this may seem trite, or just some math fan coming up with another numbers game. But to me, it is the Lord again reaffirming His plans that He is working out, faster and faster, as getting the Gospel out to the nations is at the top of His list.

Many are now able to see more quickly what is happening, primarily through the Internet, using smart phones and all mobile devices as soon as it happens, almost anywhere in the world. That in itself is a fulfillment of prophecy.

Many are now able to see more quickly what is happening, primarily through the Internet, using smart phones and all mobile devices as soon as it happens, almost anywhere in the world. That in itself is a fulfillment of prophecy.

This increasingly fast-moving time-line of the Lord is being fulfilled just as He had Daniel record these Scriptural words centuries ago.


“When that time comes, Mikha’el, the great prince who champions your people, will stand up; and there will be a time of distress unparalleled between the time they became a nation and that moment. At that time, your people will be delivered, everyone whose name is found written in the book. Many of those sleeping in the dust of the earth will awaken, some to everlasting life and some to everlasting shame and abhorrence. 

But those who can discern will shine like the brightness of heaven’s dome, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.

“But you, Dani’el, keep these words secret, and seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there as knowledge increases." (emphasis added, Daniel 12:1-4, Complete Jewish Bible)

I trust you are watching and waiting, but also sharing at the same time the Good News to those who believers needing the encouragement found in this hope, and to those who need to know the Savior Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach.

Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).
