Still Small Voice – The Enemy

My friends who pray: Recently, our son David, in Jerusalem, filmed his wife and daughter while down in the bomb shelter. You can feel the tension and fear. He asked his wife , “How do your feel?” Her reply, “I hate my life.” David said, “Shaking all over?” “Yeah, bad adrenalin.” They waited for the sound of the ‘boom’ from Israel’s Iron Dome destroyed the first Houthi ballistic missile that night. There was a 2nd after midnight. Simultaneously, Mr Trump was being hosted in Saudi Arabia and had just gotten guarantees from Yemen, “not to attack any more ships in the Gulf. … and what about Israel? Pray for him to be fully aware of the Enemy. It is not flesh and blood. “Messiah, (he who is called Christ) the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives …” Isaiah 61:1 (Amp.) “My grace is sufficient for you for my power is perfected in weakness. Most …

Modern Israel celebrates 77 years!

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Dear Friends: On the eve of April 30th 2025, modern Israel celebrates 77 years of Independence. “Tell us, when will this take place, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end, (completion and consummation) of the age?” Matthew 24:3 read on. “The righteous cry and the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms, so that we confidently say, the Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What shall man do to me? Though I go through the midst (center) of trouble, You are with me.” Ps. 34:17, 33:27, Ps 138:7 Yes, the enemy oppresses, and will never quit until we wake up, push back and ‘serve him notice. Secure and sanctity the peace of your personal space in the blood of Jesus! IF we are not careful, we are tempted to think that there is no deliverance and our prayers are unheard. But it is in the center of trouble where Jesus …

Still Small Voice – Passover

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Nissan 14th 5786 / April 12th 2025. Calling all Parents and Grandparents: Passover is remembered throughout the month of Nissan or April. Jews, remember their deliverance from Egypt. More and more souls across the world are centering in on the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Messiah Yeshua-Jesus. This month finds Jews and Christians globally ‘remembering’ our humble beginnings. Hopefully we choose to explore. Our God is the ultimate Authority in this world. As we grow more and more in His Kingdom, we become more grateful for the distance us and the filth, depravity, occult darkness, and gross ignorance we came out of. “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you!.” Yes, mercifully we were ‘found’ and hopefully are being delivered. There is no room for familiar pride of pedigree or position, we came undone, weak and needy. The Question: The Passover Seder makes an elaborate point of rehearsing deliverance from slavery. This great Feast closes asking four questions to the children present. What we pass over to our children is what is going to …

Aliyah: God’s Witness to the World

Published by Meridel Rawlings

God is Whispering through Current History … My Dear Friends Thank you for staying with me these last 7 weeks, when I have been computer-less. Today I am back, desiring to share our world with you. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My thoughts higher than yours. For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth … so shall My Word be which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.” Isaiah 58:8-11 Please take heart! IF our Creator directs the rain and snow, and makes it fruitful; how much more is He able to take our humble lives, and produce astounding blessings through them? Just pause and think of that for a moment. The world has been witnessing a creative miracle from 1850 …

Still Small Voice – March 2025

Published by Meridel Rawlings

My dear Friends, Times are increasingly more frustrating and disheartening inside of Israel. All is not well. Please pray right out of Psalm 85:9b,10. “… that glory(the manifest presence of God) may dwell in our land. Steadfast love and truth and faithfulness meet together. Righteousness and peace kiss each other.” We pray Father God will turn the nation back to himself. Jesus spoke very clearly in John 5:46,47. “For if you believed and relied on the Scriptures written by Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.” See: Gen3:15,22:18,49:10, Num 24:17, Deut 18:15. Pray the Word. It cannot return empty. And now allow me to introduce my son Chris, who is a world class designer in his own right. Thank you son for the years of design you have given freely to the Still Small Voice website and letter. Torah Portion – Vayak’hel – And He Gathered This weeks Torah Portion is Vayak’hel which means And He gathered. The second to last reading from the book of Exodus. “And Moses assembled all the …

The Still Small Voice Shouts…

My friends who pray: “Why are the nations in an uproar [turmoil] against God,And why do the people devise a vain and hopeless plot?Why do the rulers take council together against the LORDand His Anointed, saying, ‘let us break apart their [divine bands] of [restraint] and cast away their cords [of control] from us.’” Psalm 2;1,2. I am compelled to send you the following heart felt cries, asking for your prayers on behalf of Israel, the Palestinians and all nations. We see cause for grave concern. Since Oct 7th 2023 we asked: “was the Knesset tainted with ineptitude and corruption leading us to this ghastly day?” At the same time, Biden in the US and all Western Nations continued to refuse to recognise who the enemy of all humanity is! Our world stands at a time of foreboding, a time of coming judgement! Depravity Walks the Nations:The death of Biblical humanity, of brotherhood, has reached a depth of depravity that no rational person thought possible in the massacres and hostage taking of Oct. 7/23. “STAND UP to …

Still Small Voice – Shevat 7, 5785

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Shalom dear friends: ”Choose well, for these are the days leading us into Eternity!” Meridel R. “O that you would bless me … and keep me from harm.” 1 Chronthians. 4:1 Why are we surprised that inertia has hit us seasoned believers? The road is steep these days and many dear souls are discouraged, or depressed and some even have expressed their desire to die and go to heaven! In your own circle of friends I am sure you have met this malaise. It seems as prevalent as the cold and flu that afflicts. We will not win if we give up. We have to fight to live and keep on. “Why are you sleeping? Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” Luke 22:46 My pioneer Grandmothers taught us: endurance of hardship is the making of us. This tough truth is the ingredient that creates all the difference between existence and vigorous vitality. Hardship creates character. Our spiritual conflicts are among our choicest blessings … if we keep choosing Life. It helps me in these …

Still Small Voice – 2025

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Dear Friends: These swiftly moving momentous days, bring change hour by hour. There is only one sure course for us to choose. That is the way of the LORD Jesus; the Living WORD. It is up to us to refresh ourselves in the precepts of His living WORD. Choose well, for these are the days leading us into Eternity! “The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. The LORD is known by his justice; the wicked are enslaved by the works of their hands. The victim commits himself to you. You are the helper of the fatherless. Break of the arm of the wicked and evil man.”Psalm 9:15,16. Psalm 10:14b,15. Listening for the Still Small Voice is more vital today perhaps than every before. Are you off balance with all of the negative overload or have you planted yourself on the Rock? For us it is a time of reflection and quietness. Jesus alone has the Word of life. We quieten ourselves, look …

Still Small Voice – Christmas 2024

Published by Meridel Rawlings

A blessed Christmas to you! Today, when I awoke, the old hymn playing in my mind was: “Peace peace, wonderful peace, coming down from the Father above. Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray, in fathomless billows of love …” Israel remains central in our prayers, Abba Father took us out of Israel, He did not take Israel out of us! It’s a family matter. I believe today, we all are on ‘alert’ for our nations. The world is battered by the winds of war, noise and trouble. We pray for those in leadership, the good, the bad and the ugly. I bring them to the Courts of Heaven and leave them there. God’s will be done in heaven as it is on earth. How to Pray: “He is our peace, He has broken down every wall.” “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper who love her…” May that Peace, be extended to our family, friends and yes enemies, plus the multitudes that we pray for, …

Still Small Voice – Change…

Published by Meridel Rawlings

My Dear Friends: “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all peoples: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 This is where we are going… “Who will bring any charge to God’s against those whom God has chosen (elected)?” Romans 8:33 Days of Destiny: Did you know Muslims have declared November to be anti-islamophobia month?! Yes, I hear the noise and foment flooding the nations and spilling out over the internet. There is NO rest, NO peace, only speculation and threats. Change has burst forth with the landslide electoral victory of former President Trump. The people have spoken, and the only people who seem bewildered by it are the Left. What a wake-up call. Do not be deceived. We are in a period of great spiritual and political turbulence, fueled by media lies. Unexpected attacks are being planned over the next two months before Mr Trump takes office. Stay alert! They …
