Faith Exercised
written by ~ Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Faith is like a muscle, it must be exercised to grow! The body’s Vital Organs and Skeletal System are protected by muscles. But, by not taking action and failing to exercise leaves one in a weakened condition, rendered helpless and vulnerable to accident & disease.
The same applies to your Faith! Yes the Word says…”Faith as small as a Mustard seed”, but remember… When that Faith is NOT exercised it leaves you exposed in a weakened condition, defenseless and susceptible to the attacks of the enemy!
So be aware…”The enemy prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour”! As the devil stalks, he is looking for “the weak in Faith”! The Word says…”Resist the enemy & HE shall flee”, but without exercised faith, you are in a weakened condition and no match for the enemy!
Resistance is found through exercised Faith in Jesus Christ. Faith is exercised on a daily basis and strengthened through “Prayer, Worship & The Word”. You see, the Lord desires that you really know HIM! Listen—HE is calling…“Draw near to ME and I will draw nearer to you.” And as you yield to the beckoning of HIS still small voice…tarry there. And there in HIS presence ‘talk to HIM and Listen’…As you will begin experiencing HIS ever abiding love, your Faith will soar to new heights!
An example of this kind of faith is Abraham…He spent time with the Lord. He did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” (Romans 4:19-22)
The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen your (faith) and protect you from the evil one. (2 Thessalonians 3:3) Just as Abraham, may you come to recognize the significance of exercising your faith…by spending time at His feet! For it is there our faith is strengthened and we are equipped for the battle! Keep in mind…The Lord does not force Himself upon anyone…it is a free choice. As for me… “Christ” has become an absolute necessity in my life!!
Pray, Wait, Trust…”Dear Lord, Help me to exercise the Faith that I have been given so that I will grow stronger each day.”
Be blessed by this beautiful song….

Let Go and Let God
Dear Friend’s, Don’t let a past of hurts and disappointments rule your life…Let the past GO…Trust JESUS!!!
This is His promise to you……
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” ( Isaiah 43:18-19).
Whatever hurts you may have experienced or uncontrollable circumstances you may be facing, keep this in mind….Fear doesn’t have a chance when you stand strong in your faith, wrapped in the power of God’s Love! “There is no fear in love; but perfect love cast out fear” (1 John 4:18)
When all is surrendered into His perfect divine Will…behold all things are new! There is “resurrection power” in the name of Jesus!

My Redeemer Lives
Written by:Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
In Matthew 28:1-6 we find…After the Sabbath, as Sunday morning was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. Suddenly there was a violent earthquake; an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled the stone away, and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid that they trembled and became like dead men. The angel spoke to the women. “You must not be afraid,” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has been raised, just as he said. Come here and see the place where he was lying.
How do I know He has Risen?? I have read Gods Holy Word, plus, just as Mary Magdalene and the Disciples…I too have experienced Jesus personal powerful touch upon my own life. His Resurrection Power has given me the Blessed Hope of Eternal Life with Him! Yes, I can honestly say….”I Know My Redeemer Lives”!
I pray you also have come to know the powerful saving and keeping Grace of Jesus Christ! Today let’s Celebrate our Freedom found at the foot of the Cross and the empty Tomb!! I pray you will have a Glorious Easter in His magnificent Presence!! May you experience Him not for just a day…but for Eternity!!
Enjoy this beautiful song…..

Friendship, A Heavenly Gift
Oh My sweet, precious Friend
A heavenly gift sent my way
To make this journey along beside me
That leads us to Heaven’s Gate
May Gods tender love fill our hearts
Surround us with His Glory today
Blessing a friendship made in Heaven
I’m so thankful He sent you my way
So My Friend, take my hand, lean on me
For we know we will never be alone
For our Friendship is made in Heaven
Hand in hand we’ll make our journey home

Seeking “The Healer”
Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Throughout the years of my journey of silent suffering, I have found God’s Holy Word is Powerful, Tried and True. And yes, God is so very faithful to HIS Promises! Believe me, this is so very important when all else fails you and there is nothing else to cling to!
So if you find yourself in the midst of a faith challenging situation, I encourage you to be quick to run to the Father’s arms. Affirm your trust in His Holy Word and believing He holds your best at heart! Then begin laying down all your thoughts and idea’s about “healing” and surrender to a deep “personal relationship” with Christ.
His Word says “Seek Me, you will find ME, if you seek me with ALL your heart”! So as you cry out to the Lord, take time to listen closely for that still small voice. You will find the Lord is tenderhearted and compassionate and patiently waiting to talk to you….After-all He is very familiar with pain and suffering!
“He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53)
Therefore, I encourage you to Worship the Lord in all His grandeur and majesty, for it is so important to let your focus be upon the “Healer”, not the healing!! And when you open your heart and give HIM all authority to be glorified in you and through you…don’t be surprised at what you may experience! As you stand amazed in His presence, you too will find God honors a seeking heart as He begins to reveal His Power and Glory in a special way. For when we approach the Throne of Grace, seeking “The Healer”… Guess What!…..Miracles Happen!!
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
Jesus is indeed the Great Healer, He is the Great Physician!
May you be abundantly blessed by this beautiful song…. ~San

The Cry of the Cross
Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
The CROSS…a gruesome form of Roman torture and death, which stands at the very heart of Christianity. The Cross is an authentic emblem that represents Christianity.
You see, God so loved that He gave His only Son to die for you. All mankind is born with original sin, which carved an abyss between God and man and nothing but the power of the Cross could reconcile man back to God. The message of the Cross is Holy Love, God’s immeasurable pure and selfless Love for man.
On this beautiful Easter Season…take time to think upon the Cross. Look past the pain and suffering, the nails, thorns, whips, mockery and ridicule. As you’re standing at the foot of the Cross, draw closer and look deeper into heart of the Cross, to the overwhelming passion that drove Jesus Christ to Cross as our Ultimate Supreme Sacrifice.
His overwhelming Love was demonstrated there on the Cross. He released the chains of death that bound you and gave you eternal life. He brings you out of the darkness into His marvelous light, from despair to hope, from feeling useless to a life having true meaning. He comes into your heart with perfect love and acceptance…making you a part of His Kingdom!
God Love’s YOU…He died for YOU…He arose for YOU…He saves YOU…He gives eternal life to YOU. There is NO greater Love!! As we busily prepare for Easter celebration, take time to set at the foot of the cross. Be still and listen closely and you too will hear….the cry of the Cross! No one could ever love you like Jesus!

Facing the Storm
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139:23-24) True faith has to be tested and refined as silver & gold…In the midst of a howling sea of sorrow, pain, loneliness & despair, powerful waves well up to overtake me! In a distance I hear a voice calling my name!
I struggle in the swift currents to take a hold of a hand reaching out for mine! As it seems I’m going under for one last time, Suddenly I feel a hand firmly grasping hold of my arm, lifting me out of the angry sea and drawing me up to new heights. With the touch of His hand my soul senses a powerful love flowing, as my feet are set on a solid rock! This magnificent love enables me to stand unwavering on a mountain of Faith!
As I stand gazing beyond my present stormy sea, my joy is restored, my strength is renewed and the determination to overcome wells up within my soul! For Christ alone is my Salvation, My Hope of Eternity!
…And Once again I realize God has allowed my faith to be tested & refined! And once again I find HE is so very faithful!! All Glory to His Name! Listen to this beautiful song…..

Stand Strong
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Yes, We live in a world of turmoil, but let us remember…Our God is greater than any of the world’s problems! No matter what you see, hear or feel…”do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27) Keep standing strong in Faith! Talk to the Lord and strengthen you prayer life. Study the Bible, Sing and Worship the Lord from the depths of your heart! Do not neglect doing so, for Prayer and Worship are our weapons of mass destruction against the devil! “Be alert and of sober mind. For your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8) Therefore, I urge you to prepare yourself “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13) Let us “Live by faith, not by sight,” yet taking a bold and courageous stand for what is right in the eyes of the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:7) Oh that the world may know Jesus!…
As you walk faithfully before Him “may the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7)

Bless the Broken Road
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Yes, the road I have traveled in life has been filled with potholes, but each hardship has made me who I am today! Oh, I may look a little bruised and battered and I may even be facing more hardships in life, but yet I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to finish the work before me that the Lord has called me to do!
I am committed to serving the Lord at whatever cost. I look to the Spirit of the Lord to work in me and through me, putting absolutely no confidence in my tattered flesh! You see…God is in charge of my life through the Holy Spirit that dwells within me. I am no longer a hostage to changing circumstances, riding the ups and downs of emotions….for The jOy of the Lord is my strength of my Life!! I have found as I have yielded to the ways of the Lord, I am more alert to the needs of others around me and love to minister to those who are bruised and hurting. I absolutely refuse to be consumed by my own problems, but seek the Lord in how to share His love and encouraging words with others. Oh yes, I must still deal with my own personal trials and ordeals in my daily life, but I solely rely upon a Holy God, for in Him I have found Freedom, Liberty, and a new devotion to continue His work while on earth! Even in the midst of brokenness, I have a deep compelling desire to walk in a greater intimacy with Christ! Yes see, The Lord has faithfully given me a gift of His strength for my weakness, His Hope, for my despair, and brings relief with His healing hand. He heals my broken heart and binds up my wounds. His sweet presence is ever so near.
Therefore, I MUST finish the race, reflect the Love of Christ and share the powerful life changing Truth of God’s Saving Grace!! Oh God, Bless this Broken Road! ~ San, Healing Rain to the Nations
…However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.. Acts 20:24
