| April 5, 2023 Charlotte, North Carolina Greetings to my family and friends of Love For His People Ministry. I have a question for you: do you also get upset when you see the injustice done in our land, when the good are cast down and the evil ones get away with everything? I have gotten so weary of what is happening in the USA, and so share my message "Justice - It Will Come" with you, as written below. As we continue to hope in the Lord, we can stand against the onslaught and not be dismayed. We must continue on in our pursuit of the Lord and His righteousness. In the meantime, I am looking forward to our next upcoming trip with eight others to Israel, as we go to again encourage and be with friends, support the people, and walk where Jesus (Yeshua) walked. We will be there April 21-29, 2023. Ahava and shalom, Steve Martin Founder, Love For His People Ministry P.S. At this time it appears that I may be doing only one or two more of these emails, as it costs each time to send them out in this format. When the end does come in a month or so, you can find my messages on our website LoveForHisPeople.com, rather than in your email. |
| Justice – It Will Come "You have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet you say, "How have we wearied Him?" In that you say, "Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and He delights in them," or, "Where is the God of justice?" Malachi 2:17 NASU If I was a betting man, and from my memory banks I never have bet, I would think that you too have said, either to yourself or out loud, “Where is the God of justice?” Personally, I get very weary when I see and hear of all the injustice that takes place in our midst – from the beginning with the unborn murdered while yet in their mother’s womb, to the outcasts who live on the streets, many due to difficulties unable to be overcome by themselves. Or when I see wrongfully accused led before the “justice” of the judicial system, and given sentences inappropriate to their “crime”, when others who have committed far more egregious acts escape without sentence - my heart moans. And I say to the Lord, “When will this all end?” When a society turns from the living God of Israel, to go after their own perceived notions of righteousness, chaos results, as law-abiding citizens are made out to be the criminal, while those who pursue ungodliness get off with no punishment. We have seen it in government takeovers, educational organizations, and scandals of all sorts. The one who we know is definitely wrong gets away with nothing done as a result of their actions while the one who tries to live according to the rules of the Lord are ridiculed and condemned for their beliefs and their stand for righteousness. When justice is no longer the law of the land, society can no longer exist. When I am tempted to moan and groan for all that is happening in our land and worldwide, I must repeat to myself that the God of all will render His justice at the proper time. He will bring about His kingdom and righteousness when He sets up rule from His throne in Jerusalem. It certainly cannot be far from now, as darkness continues to gain in coverage over the earth and the nations. But His Word declares, with truth and justice, that He will overcome the wicked, the evil, the ones who seek their own gain and self-satisfaction at the cost of others. “And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 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." Revelation 19:11-16, NASU Whether we see this in our day or after we have left this world, our God will bring forth His Kingdom with His righteousness and justice, and render His judgment on those who oppose Him. With that promise and hope in my heart, from His Word, I look up and know that someday payday comes – for those who do good and for those who have done evil.

| The Promise - Journey of a Lifetime (2023 Edited Version with 114 photos added!!) by Steve Martin (published Jan. 2023) Throughout our lives, God keeps His hand on our shoulders and nudges us on to more than what we could ever realize. I am excited to share how He did it this with me, and am confident mine will be a story you’ll be able to relate to. As I unveil my story, think back to those times when you knew there was something more but you just couldn’t put your finger on it. You knew deep down that life wasn’t what the TV sitcoms portrayed it to be. In our souls, there is the hope, the cry for more, that someday questions will be answered and promises fulfilled if we just kept plugging away at what we know to do. In The Promise, I share my first 40 years of journey with you and show you that dreams do come true. Though Peter Pan isn’t real, the Lord, the One Who created us, indeed is, and He has a plan in place for each one of us. When you are done reading this story, I pray that you too will know more of that good plan and His purpose for you. This edited version of the 2004 edition, written 19 years ago, now includes 114 photos! To purchase on Amazon: The Promise - Journey of a Lifetime - Hardcover $19.95 Paperback $12.95 |
