“Stories People Share” by Steve Martin

Stories People Share

As I continued on our ministry tour across Texas with Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem, with six in the van ranging from 37 years to 84 (three men and three women), I am amazed at the stories people tell me at each stop.

My tasks on this trip include driving the vast miles, overseeing the book table, and leading worship as called upon. But it also is giving a listening ear to the people who love to share their stories with me. (Especially the ladies, who we all know tend to speak with more words than us regular guys. Just sayin’.)

In Abilene, Texas, home of the Camp Barkeley Fellowship, the worship leader came to the book table and began telling me of her 25-year old Texas A&M daughter befriending a similar age Israeli man at college. He was on the soccer team.

Being the girl was a music major and loved to write songs, even in other languages, this young man helped her write a song in Hebrew and learn correctly how to pronounce the words as she would sing it.

This song became her “ending song” for her concerts.

The Jew said he was not”religious” but often in his encouraging words to her he unknowing quoted Scripture. She would then tell him that. (Someday he too will believe in the same Messiah.)

I love how the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) connects people. One New Man is what He is making us to be.

“The Messiah has made things up between us so that we’re now together on this, both non-Jewish outsiders and Jewish insiders. He tore down the wall we used to keep each other at a distance. He repealed the law code that had become so clogged with fine print and footnotes that it hindered more than it helped. Then he started over. Instead of continuing with two groups of people separated by centuries of animosity and suspicion, he created a new kind of human being, a fresh start for everybody.” Ephesians 2:15, The Message

The red “America 250” hat

​

June 7, 2026

I have been spending the first week of June here in Texas with Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem. Three have come from Israel joining three of us here in the States.

Having been staying in a Princeton, Texas home, to son of our team member Parthenia, David, has been a joy to get to know. 

He is 37, loves to worship the Lord, walks 6 miles a day, and just graduated from his special school.

I brought with me a bright red “America 250” hat and wore it a few days briefly. I am not one to normally wear a hat though.

David asked if I could have a hat like that. Being I didn’t have another I said, “Here, I’ll give you this one.”

He is a patriot and loves the hat!

Be blessed,

Steve Martin

“Be Not Unaware, Nor Be Afraid” by Steve Martin

Be Not Unaware, Nor Afraid

We all know that our enemy, the Satan as commonly known, does not play fair. In fact, he goes by no rules except his own, which are to totally destroy all who stand with the Lord God, particularly those in support of Israel and His Chosen People the Jews.

Because of that, Christian Friends of Israel in Jerusalem, now over 40 years in existence, just got hacked,  taking down their computer systems.

Others are joining in the recovery effort, which is quite an effort if achieved, but a momentary disaster as this was already known by the Lord before it occurred.

He promises to protect and provide. And He always does in ways we may not comprehend at the time. That does not invalidate His Word.

“The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent.” Exodus 14:14

Keep silent? Because again He knows all. He is the One who keeps us, as He has proven time and time again for the Jews of Israel in their Land. And those who stand with them.

“Joshua then said to them, “Do not fear or be dismayed! Be strong and courageous, for thus the Lord will do to all your enemies with whom you fight.”  Joshua 10:25, NASB

The story isn’t over. The end has not come. Yet. But because He rules from His throne, we need not be afraid.

Our God reigns. Remember that. Keep it strong and well-guarded in your heart.

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin

“Remembrance, Multiply, Educate, Bless, and have return” - prophetic word

 Prophetic word from Jeremy Lopez to Steve Martin July 7, 2025

Note: I believe in receiving personal, prophetic words. I encourage you to also do, as they hopefully are given to you by respected, anointed prophetic people using the gift of prophecy. 

Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry in Charlotte, NC

“Remembrance, Multiply, Educate, Bless, and have return”

“Son, I want you to know something that in this hour I am calling you to call back your

resources. You have a lot of resources in you, you have a lot of knowledge in you, and son I am

taking you back, believe it or not, I am taking you back to the past. I am taking you back to the

place in the past where there were things you utilized that were empowering to you and I am

bringing those things back up to the surface for you.

Meaning there is some knowledge and education you once had that you don’t utilize anymore but

I am going to see to it that you are going to use that again because I have great plans for you to

begin to start bringing more of your knowledge and wisdom up to the surface.

In this hour you will begin to find yourself in a place where these things will start coming back

up to you and you will begin to understand more about you utilizing your whole brain. I am

going to cause all your knowledge and wisdom to be utilized in this hour because there is

strategies that need to be given.

There are so many things you have with inside you that need to be given out to people. In this

season you will begin to find yourself in a place where literally people begin to say, “Do you

remember what you told me a couple of years ago” and you are going to say, “Actually I do

remember.”

You are going to have such a mind of remembrance, a mind of remembrance. I am going to cause

you to remember to remember to remember. What that means to you is that I am going to cause

you to begin to go back and remember things from years ago. Even some things from your

childhood, I am going to cause you to remember. Nothing bad by far but all good. Because that’s

how sharp a brain I am bringing to you.

I am giving a sharp mind of things that you won’t forget about.

I am going to cause you to use your mind for many years to come on strategies but also know

how to begin to divide things, knowing how to begin to multiply things. Knowing how to begin

to bring additions to things.

We are not talking about mathematics; we are talking about the game of life. The game of life

where you will find yourself at a place where you will begin to know how to divide, you will

know how to add things to people’s lives. You will know how to subtract and pull things out of

people’s lives that don’t need to be there. You will find that where you will begin to try to help

people and teach them how to multiply. Multiply their seed for sowing. Multiply their money.

2

Multiply their anointing. Multiply their relationship with God. Multiply their prayer life with

God.

You will teach people all these different techniques because you have wisdom in you to know

how to cipher through what is blocking them, and yet what is needing to be released in them.

This is an hour where I am going to cause even the working of your hands to be anointed. I will

cause the working of your hands to be anointed. Anointed with power.

You are anointed. You are anointed to break yokes off of work places, and even your finances.

In this hour you will see that I will literally break a pattern that has been a cycle over your

finances for a number of years. I am going to break that cycle this hour to where you are able to

see the power of multiplication, the power of productivity.

In this season get ready to see things beginning to change with you and beginning to see even

changes and siftings going on with relationships around you of people you are going to begin to

empower because you are going to give them knowledge and it’s going to begin to cause them to

reward you back and bless you back.

So, get ready to see these things happen. Because as you bless others you are going to see a

multitude of people come back to bless you as well.

Get ready to see these things begin to happen for truly you are in the right season where things

are ripe and ready for harvest.

Last season was not the best for you. You didn’t see a whole lot of productivity. But in this

season I will cause things to be ripe and ready for harvest.”
