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

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 …

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 …

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.

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 …
