Matthew 10:34. ISRAEL: Friends keep your prayers up. The major ongoing war remains in Gaza, to date, 17,000 terrorists have been eliminated. At present it is an ongoing underground gorilla war. Deadly and cruel! Preemptive Attack: At dawn yesterday, 15 minutes before one of our worst attacks, Israel preempted Hezbulloh, with 100 planes taking out 170 targets, and …

Still Small Voice. The Shabbat of Comfort!

Published by Meridel Rawlings

My dear Friends: This thought came to me: Growing old takes grace … Choosing Life, is an Art form. Especially when the going is tough, It’s … my choice! Meridel Rawlings This Sabbath is called ‘The Sabbath of Comfort’. I think that is lovely. It falls after last week when we ‘remembered’ the destruction of both Temples and waited to see if Iran would attack Israel. I didn’t believe they would. Bullies are also cowards, and Israel sent an ultimatum. May we all give thanks to the God of ALL Comfort. He will see us through. Our goal is to gain the Kingdom of Heaven! “COME, and let us return [in repentance] to the LORD, for He has torn us, and He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.” Hosea 6:1 When we take time to reflect, can we say the best things in our lives came out of wounding? Wheat is crushed before it becomes bread. Incense must be one with the fire to release its fragrance. Fields must …

Still Small Voice – Day 301

Published by Meridel Rawlings

My dear Friends! I pray that in these days, each one of you is drawing aside from the hustle and bustle and noise. LISTEN to the Still Small Voice. Yes, it isn’t easy, but nothing worthwhile is. If you show up on a faithful basis, God will show up for you. This week I will share just two of the instructions I heard. Study to be quiet! And later this week, this order: KNOW your enemy! 1. Are you weary of the daily grind, or: – the continuous giving of your time and space – the madness of the world at large – the changes swiftly changing your nation – perhaps, the undue stress in your interpersonal relationships? Question: Okay, are you ready for change? Seriously, are you ready to do your part? Well, allow me to share this marvellous assurance. “For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel has said this, “In returning [to Me] and rest you shall be saved, In …

Still Small Voice – Day 280

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Dear Friends: “Things as we have known them are coming to an end!” Barry Wunsch Canada We live in amazing times. What matters most is not our geographical location but our spiritual location. Being in the eye of the storm, we can help many. I know you do as the Lord directs. ‘He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings, you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.’” I am being prompted by the Holy Spirit to “remain here and keep watch!” During Jesus’s agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, this was His only request of his faithless disciples. How do you respond to that? It’s not easy for sure. The news from Israel, Europe, Africa, Asia and North and South Africa is so distressing that I can no longer watch it. It causes me to tremble and deal with brokenheartedness. I am being led another way, not to look down, but to keep my gaze fixed on the eternal promises of the LORD God Almighty. Perhaps you are experiencing this …

Wake Up!

Published by Meridel Rawlings

My dear friends: In these days, knowing the scriptures helps us to ‘think’ out of the box. Our survival depends upon wisdom, knowledge, and truth from heaven’s perspective. Man does not have the answers. That is not an overstatement. In and outside of Israel people are perplexed, confounded and angry by the savagery of Oct 7th. The world has largely ignored Israel’s greatest ongoing tragedy to date. The country is clearly divided into two camps. One blames the political and military leadership for negligence which caused the disaster, coupled with how the army handled the invasion. The other religious, citizens are largely non-involved, especially by refusing to agree for their sons to serve in the IDF. How can that one attitude alone help to cement a fractured people? One side pays with their lives, the other is paid to sit in Yeshiva? What is your answer? Now an exhausted and depleted nation faces ongoing war in the North with 200,000 Israeli refugees from north and south within their own nation. They need you to stand …

Still Small Voice – Day 253

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Dear Friends who care: The Hebrew year we are in is 5784, which means: the prison doors open for Joseph. We give thanks today for the IDF, rescuing 4 hostages last week, which makes 7 living, safely snatched from Hamas. We pray for the remaining 120. I am reminded of a vision my brother-in-law Keevin had during a prayer meeting. He saw Jesus walking the miserable streets of Gaza weeping for His peoples, both Jew and Arab. Many hungry frightened Gazans are being murdered by brutal Hamas today. “What one nation on earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people and to make a name for Himself, and to do great and awesome things for Yourself and for Your land, before Your people whom you have redeemed for Your self from Egypt, from nations and their gods.?” 2 Samuel 7:23 Intense war has broken out on Israel’s Northern Border. Israel took out a senior military Hezbollah leader. The result is that now, missiles are falling into Israel …

The Handwriting on the Wall

Published by Meridel Rawlings

My Dearest Friends: The cover photo this week is of Prophet Kim Clement. I am sharing his precise prophecies of world events given ten years ago. Please listen with your spirit. Who can deny, ‘these days are dark?’ Everywhere we turn we are assaulted by terrible news in not just one nation, but many nations. I find it overwhelming. Not wanting to send you a negative word, I have decided to skip most of the news and set our sights on the sovereignty of the LORD God! The hour is late. Evil progresses at an alarming rate. These prophecies counter the negative daily news. “The LORD will make you the head [leader] and not the tail [follower]; and you will be above only, and you will not be beneath, IF [conditional] you listen and pay attention to the Commandments of the LORD your God, which I am commanding you today to observe them carefully.” Deuteronomy 38:13 “I was first to say to Zion,’ Listen carefully, here they are [the Jews who will be restored to …

Miracles

Published by Meridel Rawlings

My Dear Friends: “… My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” Psalm 45:1 This week, I am happy to announce that our book Timeless Secrets Vol. 2, Miracles Among the Nations is now available on Amazon. This week the photo above is none other than the cover of our latest book. Please tell your friends and family and church and any social groups you belong to how to get this book. It is as real as your next breath. We write about the excitement of following Messiah by faith. His whispers to our hearts led Jay and I together into many challenges. We had few answers, some thought we were presumptuous, radical, crazy, or religious! But, we had determined to listen and trust and obey no matter what life threw at us. This book is different! We take you with us to many nations around the globe, be it the slums or a national leader’s home, in answer to the …

Heartbreak!

Dear Friends; “Hear this, you who trample down the needy, and do away with the poor of the land … I shall make that time like a time of mourning for an only son [who has died.]” Amos 8: 4,10e. Our cover photo this week was taken on Israel’s 76th Independence Day. The people in the photo are lying down because of missiles coming into Israel from Hamas that day. How tragic it all is. Our Prime Minister is under fire from within the nation because of the reality of never ending pain the people have had to endure since Oct 7th 2023. He is wanted by the International Court. I quote: “There is no comfort. There is life, but the wound will remain until the end of our lives. Our War of Independence has not yet ended – it continues even now.” Unquote I cannot apologize for the heaviness of my last few Still Small Voice letters. Let us HEAR what the Spirit is saying. Let us heed the warnings. History has much to …

Yom ha Zikaron – Remembrance Day in Israel

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Dear Friends who pray for Israel: “For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form one body, so it is with Messiah – Christ … But God combined the [whole] body giving greater honour to that part which lacks it so that there would be no division or discord in the body, but that the parts may have the same concern for one another. And if one member suffers, all the parts share in the suffering …” 1 Corinthians 12: 12, 24, 25, 26. Friends, remember Israel right now in prayer, wherever you are. At sunset last night, May 12th, sirens sounded throughout the entire nation of Israel. The Day of Remembrance is now. I wept and interceded as I watched this very moving photo tribute to the IDF. We Israelis, a family, a nation, are so closely knit together whether in the nation or outside. Israel remains inside of us all for better and for worse. When one falls we all die just a …
