Still Small Voice – Rising Lions

My dear Friends: Time is speeding up…Ancient prophecies unfold. “Jerusalem is the navel (center) of the earth.” Ezekiel 5:5“Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling(staggering) to all the surrounding peoples: and when the siege isagainst Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. And in that day I willmake Jerusalem a heavy stone for ALL the peoples; ALL who lift it willbe severely injured. And ALL nations of the earth will come and begathered against it.” Zechariah 12: 3,4. Today, Israel is at war with Iran and inspite of ballistic missiles slamming into this tiny nation … it is a terrible time for all of Israel be they Arab, Jew, Druze or Christian, all suffer. Perhaps the less we say is the best. The hospital in Beersheba has been hit twice, all patients were evacuated the day before the missile strikes! In five days, 850 ballistic missiles have slammed into Israel, most hit open spaces, a few have caused death and devastating destruction. Everyone in Israel is exhausted with hours of …

Still Small Voice – The Enemy

Published by Meridel Rawlings

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 …

Die «Still Small Voice» schreit….

„Warum sind die Nationen in Aufruhr gegen Gott,und warum schmieden die Menschen einen vergeblichen und hoffnungslosen Plan?Warum beratschlagen sich die Herrscher gegen den Herrnund seinen Gesalbten und sagen:„Lasst uns ihre [göttlichen] Fesseln zerreißenund ihre Stricke von uns werfen.“ Psalm 2;1,2. Ich sehe mich gezwungen, Euch die folgenden von Herzen kommenden Schreie zu übermitteln und Euch um Eure Gebete für Israel, die Palästinenser und alle Nationen zu bitten. Wir sehen Anlass zu großer Sorge. Seit dem 7. Oktober 2023 haben wir gefragt: „War die Knesset mit Unfähigkeit und Korruption behaftet, welche uns zu diesem grässlichen Tag geführt hat?“ Gleichzeitig weigern sich Biden in den USA und alle westlichen Nationen weiterhin zu erkennen, wer der Feind der gesamten Menschheit ist! Unsere Welt befindet sich in einer Zeit der düsteren Vorahnung, einer Zeit des kommenden Gerichts! Die Verdorbenheit wandelt durch die Nationen: Der Tod der biblischen Menschlichkeit, der Brüderlichkeit, hat mit den Massakern und Geiselnahmen vom 7. Oktober 2023 eine Tiefe der Verdorbenheit erreicht, die kein vernünftiger Mensch für möglich gehalten hätte. «STEHT AUF» gegen die Hamas“, lautete …

Still Small Voice – Shevat 5785 / Februar 2025 – auf Deutsch

Published by Meridel Rawlings

Wähle gut, denn dies sind die Tage, welche uns in die Ewigkeit führen!“ Meridel R. “O, dass du mich segnen würdest … und mich vor Unheil bewahren würdest.“ 1Chron. 4:1 Warum wundern wir uns, dass die Trägheit uns alteingesessene Gläubige getroffen hat? Der Weg ist steil in diesen Tagen, und viele liebe Seelen sind entmutigt oder deprimiert, und einige haben sogar den Wunsch geäußert, zu sterben und in den Himmel zu kommen! In Eurem eigenen Freundeskreis ist Euch dieses Unbehagen sicher auch schon begegnet. Es scheint so weit verbreitet zu sein, wie die Erkältung und die Grippe, welche uns heimsuchen. Wir werden nicht gewinnen, wenn wir aufgeben. Wir müssen kämpfen, um zu leben und weiterzumachen. „Warum schläfst du? Betet, damit ihr nicht in Versuchung geratet.“ Lukas 22:46. Meine Pionier-Großmütter haben uns gelehrt: Das Aushalten von Entbehrungen macht uns aus. Diese harte Wahrheit ist die Zutat, welche den Unterschied zwischen Existieren und kraftvoller Vitalität ausmacht. Härte formt den Charakter. Unsere spirituellen Konflikte gehören zu unseren größten Segnungen … wenn wir uns weiterhin für das Leben entscheiden. …

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 …

Liebe Freunde Diese schnell voranschreitenden, bedeutsamen Tage bringen Stunde um Stunde Veränderung. Es gibt nur einen sicheren Weg, welchen wir wählen können. Das ist der Weg des HERRN Jesus: das lebendige WORT. Es liegt an uns, uns in den Grundsätzen seines lebendigen WORTES zu erfrischen. Wählt gut, denn dies sind die Tage, welche uns in die Ewigkeit führen! «Die Nationen sind in die Grube gefallen, die sie gegraben haben; ihr Fuß hat sich gefangen in dem Netz, das sie heimlich stellten. Der HERR hat sich zu erkennen gegeben, hat Gericht gehalten; der Gottlose ist verstrickt in dem Werk seiner Hände! Der Wehrlose überlässt es dir, der du der Helfer der Waisen bist! Zerbrich den Arm des Gottlosen und des Bösen». Psalm 9,15-16 Psalm 10,14b-15 Das Hören auf die Stille Kleine Stimme ist heute lebensnotwendiger als je zuvor. Seid Ihr bei all den negativen Überlastungen aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten oder habt Ihr Euch auf den Felsen gestellt? Für uns ist es eine Zeit der Besinnung und der Stille. Jesus allein hat das Wort des Lebens. Wir kommen zur …
