“Remember” by Steve Martin

​

Remember

 

Most of our memories from “way back when” are good ones. The ones we cherish and look to as guideposts and solid rocks on which our lives were shaped and refined.

Those “markers” in days gone by when we lived the moment, and we swore we would never forget them, are good memories. 

“Keepers” for the future to tell our children and grands. (My son Ben often says, “That’s a good memory” after a new one has been completed.)

In May 2023, nine of us from our home group and beyond went on a journey overseas. In time it became known as the “Nine By Design,” as together we traveled the land where Jesus (Yeshua) walked. In this the Land and nation of Israel, we saw and remembered what He did and still does.

By all accounts, out of the mouths of the bonded  friends, “that was a good memory” as we reflect on that trip past.

“I shall remember the deeds of the Lord; I will certainly remember Your wonders of old.” Psalm 77:11 NASB

Often our Father’s Word encourages us to remember. Sometimes it is even a command, for He knows we best not forget His promises, His provision, His ongoing faithfulness in our lives. Because of Who He is, and our need for Him daily.

“Since God us assured us, I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,” we can boldly quote, God is there, ready to help; I’m fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me?” Hebrews 13, The Message

Give some time to meditate on what the Lord has done, for you, your family, your nation. If you do not end up with a “Thank You, Lord” in your spirit, then you have not thought long enough.

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin

Time To Return by Steve Martin

​​

Aug. 27, 2026 Greetings once again from Charlotte, North Carolina. I first want to thank Moses Julius, Light TV in Pakistan, for publishing my book BACK TO JERUSALEM in the Muslim country. He sent me three copies. (Photo above.) On September 15, David Lauka and I begin our return trip to Jerusalem, Israel. We will have six weeks with Christian Friends of Israel, bringing comfort to the nation as the Lord gives us the ongoing opportunity.  If you would also like to bless the people there in this time of their need, all contributions are appreciated. (Donate below by going to our website. Thanks!) As time quickly speeds on, in the years ahead, I want to focus more on and in Israel, especially as the nations continue to turn away, including the USA. We must stand strong alongside our Jewish friends. I will continue sending these messages from Jerusalem on this 31st trip for me, along with more updates posted on our website, LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE.  And of course I will be uploading new WALK WITH ME videos as I have always done previously. Yeah Lord! Our younger generations especially need to know and walk in the truth. It is our job to lead them. In line with this, my newest book, BACK TO BASICS, was published this week. (See below.) Ahava and shalom, Steve Martin P.S. Photo below: The Christian Friends of Israel Jerusalem team heads home this week after three months in the USA having had numerous meetings in several states.(I like my ChatGPT rendition I did below.) P.S.S. Please share these messages with others. I am thankful as you do. Steve’s newest book, BACK TO BASICS, published August 2026. Everything that is to last a long time needs to have a firm foundation to hold during the times of pressure and uncertainty. Life is no exception. And humanity received that solid rock on which to stand when Moses was given the tablets of stone with life’s directives to take to the people. We all want to enjoy having the good things in life, and often do that which is good, or not so good, to achieve that goal. But what if we sought the One who created us to find out what His thoughts are, what His ways were meant to be, and to actually walk in the chosen path He ordained for each of us to follow? I personally think we might discover the best way to live and find real purpose in discovering and walking out His perfect plan and purposes for you and me. These messages, drawn from decades of walking with my Lord Jesus,will help to encourage you to get on the path that He, the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, specifically created for you to also walk on. Life has purpose. Life has meaning. If we look to the Creator, we will know what that is. Enjoy the reading, and seek the Living God in all His ways. You will surely be rewarded for it, now and forever, amen.

“Reunion” by Steve Martin

​

REUNION

 

Reunions among families, sports teams, high school and college graduates, band of brothers…these are special times for those involved. The great memories shared, times “relived” of days gone by, even if a bit embellished from the last time you heard that same story retold, all are times we look forward to.

My Martin family reunion set for Labor Day weekend 2026 will be special. Why? Because I am in charge. I have been planning for months to make it so.

I designed a logo for the event, and had it placed on coffee mugs, light blue polo and t-shirts, and have wonderful prizes for games in mind.

Reunions can really be awesome.

The one I am particularly looking forward to though is when the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, returns for those who call upon His Name, and have received His salvation, redemption, which has been offered to all.

This reunion will be the greatest of all. His return, the Lion of Judah, will cause the peoples of the nations to proclaim His Lordship and bow down in worship.

 “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True…” — Revelation 19:11 (KJV)

And it continues in Revelation 19:16-16, “And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses.

From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 

And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” (NASB)

As we grow weary of the wrongs being committed before our eyes; the evil put on people, especially the Jews; the injustice proclaimed as “peace and love” by the louder voices…we who know the Lord and Savior are “keeping our eyes on Him, the Author and Finisher of our faith.” Hebrews 12:2

This reunion will be historic, beyond comprehensive.

The Bible is true. Reunion time cometh!

Ahava and Shalom,

Steve Martin

“Leap of Faith” message by Steve Martin

​

The Leap of Faith

Laurie and I have loved the series, The Chosen, airing its sixth season in the fall of 2026. It will be impacting and life touching, as Yeshua (Jesus) is crucified.

In the first episode of The Chosen in the Wild,  a Prime Video series starring Bear Grylls, a retired British military man, and cast members from The Chosen, Bear speaks of “taking a risk”.

I remember those words given to the both of us a few years ago in a prophetic word, before deciding to volunteer three months in Jerusalem with Christian Friends of Israel.

Both being retired, the rocking chair on the front porch just didn’t seem the place to be, at least for me.

I was “going for it” and Laurie, though hesitant at first (ok, for awhile) agreed. We took the leap.

“ But as for me, I trust in You, Lord,
I say, “You are my God.” Psalm 31:14, NASB

 

For each of us, you included, we must walk in faith and trust if we are going to experience all that the Lord desires of us. If we say, “Yes, Lord”, at times it will take a leap of faith on our part. Trusting in His provision, His faithfulness, His protection, His overall care will be necessary.

We will walk through valleys of green, and ones not so much. We will climb many mountains, and even fall a few times. We will look back with what could have been, but must move forward with what can be as we keep our eyes fixed on Him.

Personally, I am not much for living in the “comfort zone.” I want everything the Lord has for me, for us, and as I give myself to His ongoing calling and leading, the leaps of faith become exciting adventures.

May your faith be the same in Him. Go where He takes you. It is an ongoing walk of faith, but the rewards are so much greater.

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT - updated book edition by Steve Martin

​

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 accomplish 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, NKJVGal 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, NASB

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.

God’s Name

​

When God spoke to Moses from the burning bush, he revealed his name to be Yahweh and said, "This is my name FOREVER, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.'" (Exodus 3:15) History tells us that no other gods could or did accomplish that. But, how can we know that God's (Yahweh's) name will last forever? And does it matter? Watch today.
