Still Small Voice – Nov 1st

Published by Meridel Rawlings

My Dear Friends: “Rejoice, O nations with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and will render vengeance on His adversaries, and will atone for His land and His people.”  Deuteronomy 42:43 Since my last Still Small Voice, Gaza, Lebanon and Iran have been impacted by Israel standing strong against the aggression. Change is everywhere. Regional analysts believe up to half of Israel’s air force completed their operation over Iran a week ago this Shabbat at 2 am local time. All pilots returned home safe and sound. First, Israel struck radar systems stationed in Syria, leaving Tehran blind for Israeli planes to advance over more than 1,000 miles into Iranian airspace. Large swaths of the Islamic Republic’s air defences, including Russian-made missile systems, were left vulnerable. A former White House National Security Council member said: “We should understand that Tehran is naked right now, the Ayatollah has no clothes. Israel destroyed Iran’s strategic air defence capabilities and set back its missile and drone production extensively.” Satellite imagery revealed extensive damage to …

Still Small Voice – Tishri 2nd 5785

Shannah Tova – A blessed New Year! Jay joins me in sending you blessings from us in the name of Jesus! Join us in this time of repentance and new beginnings. “Now at that time Michael the great prince who stands guard over the children of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; but at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the “Book of Life” will be rescued.”Daniel 12:1 Iranian missiles rained down upon Israel as the New Year was being ushered in.  We were on the phone with our son David, during the barrage of over 185 ballistic missiles this week. It takes just 12 minutes for them to travel the 1,000 miles from Iran to Israel. We heard the incessant explosions. It is just unbelievable and we must not get used to this insane behavior. Iran’s second missile attack since April leaves them vulnerable now, to Israel’s retaliation.  A senior IDF person, …

Still Small Voice – Intrigue & Initiative

Published by Meridel Rawlings

My Dear Friends:    We are living in supernatural times, hearkening back to Biblical days. Strange and unusual things are happening. We expect the supernatural to continue to unfold throughout Israel and in our own lives. This is why, it is well worth our time and future to always “give a cup of cold water” to anyone in the Name of the LORD. Commune daily. Listen, Hear and Obey the Still Small Voice. These are in the ‘Days of Repentance’ leading to the Jewish New Year, 5785. These number letters in Hebrew spell, “a year of grace and judgment.” Shillot prayers ask for forgiveness, first from the people who fill our lives and then from the LORD for our offences. Jesus rehearsed this principle. “Leave your gift there before the altar and go. First, be reconciled with your brother and then go and offer your gift.” Matthew 5:24  “LORD Jesus, encourage me to live in such a way today that my life will influence those I meet for tomorrow. Teach me how to pray. Let …

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!

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 …
