Still Small Voice thanks you…

August/September 2015

Shalom and very warm greetings,

Let’s begin with this verse, it can help us remember the privilege of “hearing” HIS Still Small Voice.

Personally I couldn’t live without that voice coupled with reading the Bible. This is the daily ‘routine’ Jay and I exercise. We read aloud, share and then comes the listening, hearing, perceiving and understanding.

“…out of heaven, He lets you hear His voice.”  Deuteronomy 4:35 NKJ

The power of the Judaeo-Christian belief system founded on Scripture is the mightiest force for change on planet earth. Our work is to believe, live and act daily as though we believed! Faith without works is….

Corporately we are a blessed “Kingdom” of people who span this globe. We are humbled and grateful that the Lord moved us to go out and warn Canadians. Thank you again precious ones who opened your homes to us. Thank you for helping arrange speaking engagements and loaning us your vehicles.   And for you who prayed, believed and supported our work and team here in Israel, THANKS! 

Meridel, Daniel and I are just back home in Israel. Our 3 month Canadian tour was momentous in every way. The Lord sent us as “Watchmen” crying “what of the night”? In all we gave more some 65 lectures. So many people are unaware of the subtle changes sweeping over Canada, and the nations at this very moment. You might be interested to know that we have already been asked to return to Canada and the USA, next summer. It’s not too early to begin planning. We are considering, June, July and August, 2016. Any ideas?

I want to personally thank you for remembering Jerusalem Vistas/Israel Vision and Still Small Voice this summer. One goes and one stays, one sows and another reaps BUT our God gives the increase. Amen! Yes, I have a new website: www.stillsmallvoice.tv.

The Lord gave me this vision, near the beginning of our journey, while praying in a Chinese church in Toronto. It was unique because the church just a room in an office building, BUT it was  filled with young believers. The ministry went via live feed into China, Taiwan and Hong King. I saw: ‘I saw a young maple tree, strong and straight, in full-leaf glistening in the sun. The scene changed: in the dimness of the thick forest, I sw a great Canadian Douglas fir tree that had lain on the ground for many years. Only 2 or 3 new saplings were growing out of the rotting trunk. I heard: Present yourselves and prepare to lead.”’ I found it shocking. 

I understood, that the Lord is calling ‘whosoever will’ yes, even young immigrants who have come out of deep suffering from nations with Godless regiems.The question that came to my mind was; “Where is the old families of Canadian, the next generation?” They are asleep and do not realize that they could lose it all… Many are being slowly intoxicated with ‘easy’ and ‘soft’ life styles. We saw very little ‘contending’ for the faith!  Perhaps many of our new immigrants have learned lessons of faith and survial yet to be learned by old Canadians? It costs to stand tall. Our Prime Minister is the only leader on earth standing with Israel! He is put down at every turn  by Canadian media and many choose not to even hear the news!

Moses warned the Children of Israel: “…that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged.” Deuteronomy 6:2 (NKJV)

WOW…not one of us is exempt! Yet, in most of our meetings it was the older crowd who turned up, bless them. Where are the teens, 20s, 30s and 40 somethings? So many are addicted. Perhaps they have no time except to please themselves? Self and “selfies” are the new ‘cool’ these days. But I am writing to our faithful donors and must again thank you for being the exception to the rule. I couldn’t do my work without YOU!

NEPAL and the CHILDREN: I look forward to returning to Nepal this November.  I will live and travel with ‘Indira,’ our adopted daughter, I hope to impart much hope and on going healing. She is a heroine for the work she does. I also want to work with 90 rescued children whom she has saved out of brothels. The half has not been told. I don’t know what to do about the unfinished film. The LORD does.

“Israel, ISIS, World Revival and You.  was the subject matter the Lord inspired Jay to deliver. It took many by surprise, no matter what church, fellowship, school or synagogue we were addressing. The hour is late.

Now we film this vital message so that way you can get your own DVD! Revival is promised for Jews, the nations they leave, and the Arabs. I found no one who was aware of this very important fact! When Jews leave a nation to return home to Israel, that nation is promised revival. See Ezekiel 36: 21 – 23, read it all.  What fascinating truths, proved by modern history. Jay the boys and I have seen it over and over as we have lived  among the Jewish Communities of the world encouraging them to make “Aliyah!”  We work to have this TV program ready for the thousands of visitors coming to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles this year. We we see you there?  Call us: in Israel: 054, 752, 4488.  From Abroad: ++972 2 54 752 4488.

Biblical wisdom unites us with God and man: He is Wisdom, is the the source of all understanding. He is our guide throughout all of life. Our work is to put His principles of right living into practice. In our quest for wisdom, let’s make the Lord our beginning and our end, living everyday for Him!

Daniel and David have just filmed an Israeli ministry founded by a very special family. The patriarch is a Holocaust survivor, who has passed his Torah based teaching ministry down to his sons and grandsons. We love filming their teachings for internet and TV shows over several years now.

David’s new Eco-Fun business is opening and is our next film project. He has the Jerusalem franchise to sell electric bikes. I am glad. It’s a new beginning for David and his family. But I am very sad to report that he has had to lay aside the film work on Nepal, as there were not enough funds available to keep him working. He has to provide for his family.  Believe me, we understand all about it. We just keep on.

Palestinians & Iran: Inspite of political tenseness here in Israel; its grand to be home and to sleep in our own beds! The Iocal scene is disturbing. Palestinians have met with the gov’t of Iran, and Abbas will visit in Nov. He wants Iran to join them in the UN Security Council to vote to remove nuclear weapons from Israel.

Books: I have spent my life working for healing and telling the stories of others. But, I will be 75 this November, and have determined by then to write my story.  I feel it needs to be completed and published. Please pray for me in this endeavour. It is difficult, but I know it will help  and encourage many globally.

Good news: Available on Amazon, now you can order the story of our beginnings and call.

Love My People, Time Secrets Volume 1 by Drs. Jay and Meridel Rawlings.

By way of encouragement to us all, I share this special quote just received from Canada.

“Canada loves you! Canada says a great big thank you! Canada blesses you!

We at House of Zion, Abbotsford BC,  send a great big thank you. and we bless you.

Understand:we have picked up your clarion call to Canadians; ‘Stand up for life and liberty’. 

We will fight until we see the victory on October 19th, next national election day in Canada.” 

We must continue to stand for Israel. Canada must understand the times we live in and the dangers we face, and must elect the right government to lead the nation! May our paths keep crossing.”  R. J.

May the Almighty Bless you and yours is our prayer.

Dear friends: we are trying to do the ‘impossible’ thanks for staying with us!

Love and blessings,

Your perfect response to the Israel smear campagne of BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions)???

An informative trip to Israel of course!!! Read More

What this priest from Nazareth told the U.N., in Arabic, may shock you

Nazareth Priest Tells U.N. in Arabic: “Israel is only country in Mideast where Christians live in safety” – via UN Watch

Father Gabriel Naddaf testified on behalf of UN Watch

Speaking in Arabic and on behalf of UN Watch, Father Gabriel Naddaf of Nazareth intervened during the recent 27th session of the UN Human Rights Council.

Mr. President, I am speaking to you on behalf of UN Watch.
Standing before you is Father Gabriel Naddaf, a Christian citizen from Nazareth, the city in which Christ was raised and where he proselytized.
Dear Sirs, while I stand before you today, the earth of the Middle East is soaked with the blood of Christians being killed daily.
Do you know that at the start of the 20th century, Christians comprised 20% of the population of the Middle East? Today they comprise only 4%.
Do you know that over the past years some 100,000 Christians have been killed annually? And why? Not for a crime they have committed, but only for believing in Christ.
In Iraq alone, more than 77% of the Christians have fled during the year 2000, in addition to thousands killed and expelled.
Some 2 million Christians lived in Syria, but today, they are less than 250,000.
Christians in these countries are treated as second-class citizens; facing racial, religious, economic and social discrimination.
Why is this happening? Only due to their religion, a religion that advocates love and peace between mankind. Christians in the Middle Eastare marginalized, their rights denied, their property stolen, their honor violated, their men killed, and their children displaced.
Where will they go? Who will defend them? And who will guard their property?
If we look at the Middle East, Mr. President, we realize there s only one safe place where Christians are not persecuted.
One place where they are protected, enjoying freedom of worship and expression, living in peace and not subjected to killing and genocide.
It is Israel, the country I live in. The Jewish state is the only place where the Christians of the Holy Land live in safety.
Christians and Jews live in Israel not only because Christ was originally Jewish, born in Jewish Bethlehem, but because they share a common destiny, and a true hope to coexist in peace.
Does the world acknowledge Israel for protecting its Christians? Many in the international community have chosen to criticize Israel.
This, in my mind, is a double crime: because by doing so, the international community helps those striving to annihilate the Jews, the Christians, the Druze and the Yazidis for political ends.
By doing so, the international community unfortunately contributes to exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East. It causes Christians to leave the land of Christ searching for a safe haven across the world.
It is time for the world to awaken and realize the truth of those striving to destroy the Jewish state.
They are hastening the death sentence of Christians in the Middle East and the Holy Land, the land which witnessed the birth and life of our Lord Jesus Christ. If they leave, who will remain in it?
I, Father Gabriel Naddaf of Nazareth, stand before you and plead: O world leaders and supporters of peace, stop those who want to destroy the only free Jewish state in the region.
It is the only refuge welcoming and protecting all of its citizens. It is the only place that does not attempt to push out Christians, forcing them to leave their land in search of security.
I implore you from the bottom of my heart to hear the cry of the Christians of the Middle East before it is too late, and you may read about them only in the history books.
Thank you, Mr. President.

Canada May Propose Defining Boycott of Israel a ‘Hate Crime’

Canada is in greart conflict… see below and please pray.

Every blessing:

Canada May Propose Defining Boycott of Israel a ‘Hate Crime’

May 11, 2015

The pro-Israel Canadian government may be planning to include boycotts of Israel as a hate crime, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported Monday.
It said that such a move would target organizations such as the United Church of Canada, Canadian Quakers, campus protest groups and labor unions. It also would raise legal questions under Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Canadian Prime Stephen Harper is unarguably the most pro-Israel head of any government in the world. He sounded like an echo of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during his visit to Israel last year.

Recently-retired Foreign Minister John Baird in January signed an agreement with Israel to fight the Boycott Israel movement, and government ministers have said they will show “zero tolerable” towards groups that are part of Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS). He described the Boycott Israel movement as “the new face of anti-Semitism.”
