Heart of Jesus' Generational Blessing - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Heart of Jesus'
Generational Blessing

Now Think On This
Steve Martin


“By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. (1 John 4:9-11 NASB)


Ministering out of a heart of love, which is the heart of Jesus, can overwhelm you sometimes. Sharing His love of compassion and truth to those He brings to you is like no other feeling in the world. At times the tears flow as your loving hands reach out to them, bringing His healing to their hurting souls. Jesus’ touch of love can heal those painful wounds.

Ministering with the MorningStar Ministries’ Generational Blessings team during the New Year conference was the first opportunity I was given to do so. When John Boneck, the 50+ Pastor asked me the day before if I could participate, I was hesitant. He said he needed more fathers to impart the Lord’s blessings to those who would come to receive.

The first thing my mind did was to race through the memory banks to be mindful of any scheduling conflicts. I had the day off from work, but wanted to receive prophetic minister that same afternoon. Then I wondered how I would actually do, being I had not gone this way before. Prophetic ministry over the years had been good, and known, as I ministered with that supernatural gift. This was new and different, as least for me. Thus the hesitancy on my part.

But I said yes.

The next day John teamed me with his wife Sandy, a true veteran of generational blessing ministry I could tell. The purposeful and planed concept is to have one man, one woman minister together. That surely gave me confidence to step forward with active faith.

The first ones who sat in front of us received encouragement, as Sandy and myself shared what the Holy Spirit gave us. Blessed with the love of the Father Himself, their smiles and thanks were appreciated, and for me gave encouragement to hear even more for the ones who He would bring during those two hours of ministry.

People were seeking the Lord. We were seeking the Lord. All of us found Him in the presence His Holy Spirit brought during that thankful time.

A young couple, Kristen and Carlos (not their real names) came and quietly sat down in the two chairs in front of Sandy and me. She had a big grin on her redden lips that shone brightly in front of her long, blonde hair. He was somber, his dark eyes not sure as to what he was about to experience. I could feel the weight of the world on his shoulders.

“Holy Spirit, what do you want to touch them with today?” was my silent prayer, and compassionate cry for something that would change their lives, from this point on.

Sandy softly and gently spoke His blessing of provision and treasure over them. I could see the two soaking it up. Being a “mixed” couple, Caucasian and Hispanic, I just felt times had not been easy for them. Truly in the natural. Surely in the spiritual too.

When Sandy finished speaking, I asked them if I could take their hands. After the OK, I took them, joined them with mine, and began to speak the heart of love as I heard in my spirit from the Lord, as it came for them from heaven. Blessing is what He does.

I can’t recall exactly what I said, for after two hours of ministering to others you are drained, and memory fades. (At least in my 61 year old mind!) I do recall what Jesus Himself said, “Who touched the hem of My garment? I felt power go forth from Me.” Being this is real, you know what He is talking about.

Whatever I said, the tears came. First down her eyes. Then small drops down mine. Marco's eyes started to well up, as the Lord’s Holy Spirit was ministering love and healing to hurting hearts. It was wonderful. So precious You are Lord.

The next day I sent John and Sandy an email, asking them to allow me to serve again the next time the Generational Blessing team ministers. This one way of giving from His heart through us is such a blessing. More Lord. We want more of You for them.

I pray the Lord gives you the opportunity to receive His love in this manner. The Father’s heart of love will heal a broken heart, a broken marriage, and all other burdens carried in this life. There is healing for all.

Let Him touch you too.

With the love of Jesus, you can now think on this,

LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE FEATURED BOOK


Paperback $5.99 or less
Kindle $1.99


 You can look here: Arms of Love by Steve Martin

In 2010 the Lord God of Israel, my Savior Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach), led me to start the ministry we call Love For His People. Its primary purpose is to share the love of the Lord with the nation of Israel, Jews around the world, and the people in all the nations as we can. For that end, through social media, writing and distributing books, and in person ministry, we are seeing the love of Jesus spread. 

We are grateful that He has given us much love in order to do just that. We often hear the word “love” spoken out loud, and written about, in many ways. It has contrasting meanings to the wide range of people that exist, as it is expressed in different methods through people. When it has all been said and done, there is an eternal love that will stand the test of fire. 

Because the biblical expression of love, laying down one’s life for his friends, has eternal value, this love from God the Father to His creation is the type that I most seek after and try to share. In these short chapters of Arms of Love, which is also the title of a song Laurie and I sang while leading various church worship meetings, and as the lead singers in our Ahava Love Band, I share some aspects of how I believe the Bible speaks of love.

For you who are about to read this, my prayer is that your heart will be enlarged with His, and you too will become one, even more, to give love for His people, both Jew and Gentile, both saved and unsaved. I hope that as you read these chapters, you will become more inspired to spend time with the Lord, experience His heart of love, and share it with our fellow man. 

The world needs to know the love of God.

Heart of Love - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Heart of Love
Now Think On This
Steve Martin


“Because I regard you as valued and honored, and because I love you. For you I will give people,
nations in exchange for your life. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your descendants from the east, and I will gather you from the west; I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Don’t hold them back! Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth, everyone who bears my name, whom I created for my glory; I formed him, yes, I made him.’”  (Isaiah 43:4-7 Complete Jewish Bible)


“Fill my heart for the nations, as Your heart is,” my spirit cried within me. As I sat in morning prayer, before the sun arose in the east, a few tears began rolling down my checks. My heart was wanting His. Yeshua (Jesus) was giving me a little bit more of His heart of love.

I love being in the Lord’s presence, those times of being where He is, as His Spirit comes down. You experience His heart – His awesome heart for His creation, the people of the nations. The mighty work of His hands, those whom He has longed to share His passion and presence, the ones He desires to commune with and share that immense heart He has.

There are moments in prayer, while listening to songs of heartfelt worship, and praying in my prayer language, when my inner man seems overwhelmed. It is like the power of the Holy Spirit is reaching down deep within me, pulling on my spirit, to know Him in a deeper way.

I just want to grab hold, with all I have within, to fully know Him as much as I can. It is similar to a young child, running into the open arms of their father, knowing it is a safe place to be. Taking the time to allow His presence to capture me is where I want to be.

Memories of other times such as these keep drawing me back to Him. The secret place of the Lord belongs to those who desire to have Him intimately within.

Psalm 91 lets us know of what it is like to be in that place of protection and peace, where His heart of love exists.


“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation." (NKJV)


The particular verse, “"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him,” is one of the many promises spoken to us in these Scriptures by the Almighty Father. As we set our own heart upon Him, Jesus the Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach, we will continually know of His salvation – that daily saving protection, provision, and peace that the world cannot give.

We will be among those who call upon the Name of the Lord Jesus, who will see and know of His ways. We will testify of His true character, His eternal nature, of His plans and His purposes for the nations. These are promises for your family and mine.

Take time with the Lord today. Seek His face and know His heart of love.

Something to think about.

Love you,

Arms Of Love - Brian Doerksen (Worship video with lyrics)





Title: Arms Of Love


Lyrics



I sing a simple song of Love
To my Saviour, to my Jesus
I'm grateful for the things You've done
My Loving Saviour, My Precious Jesus



My heart is glad
That you've called me Your own
There's no place I'd rather be



Than in Your Arms of Love
In Your Arms of Love
Holding me Still
Holding me Near
In Your Arms of Love

CHERISHED BY YOU LORD - From Your Heart of Love (A poem by Steve Martin)


CHERISHED BY YOU LORD
 - from Your Heart of Love
( A Poem by Steve Martin)

  Cherished by You Lord, is what I long to be;
Your heart of love is vast yet reaches down to me.
If hidden in the desert land or on the waters blue,
Forever will I know of Your presence - faithful true.

Where can I go Lord, for You are always there;
What can come on me that You would not care?
Loves gone lost and friends I once knew,
But promises are kept by Son and Father too.

Lead me on Lord near brook and winding road;
Take me to that place to lay down my heavy load.
Surrounded by the oaks of depth and oh of lofty height.
Place me in Your arms of love; so great but gentle might.

Open up my eyes oh Lord; behold Your glory shines!
Speak Your Words of hope and faith which are divine.
Your beating heart of love so close for me to often hear,
Thank you Lord, my God, my Love for always being near.



I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,

He who pastures his flock among the lilies.” 

(Song of Songs 6:3 NASB)
