Songs of Joy
written by Sandy Blaser, HRN
Even though the battle rages on, with all my heart I will trust in My God!
Throughout the years of my christian walk, God has been so very faithful to His promises. No my life has never been easy. You see, a crippling disease attacked my body at a young age. Therefore I have overcome many obstacles and continue to face strong hurdles along the way. But you see, I made a decision long ago….no matter how rugged the journey gets, I will Trust the Lord and cling tightly to a promise that HIS hand of Mercy will guide me through the heated trials of life.
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13
Now I admit, there are times I’m tempted to just pick-up my toys and go home. Yes, The ole enemy ls persistent, but when the devil starts planting the thought of giving up, that triggers me into action…I begin dwelling upon all the answered prayers and good things that God has done in my life. And with the Lord’s help I keep pressing onward to the finish line, proclaiming the Lord’s amazing faithfulness to me!
You see, I have learned….when a mind is set upon Christ, He begins to flood the heart with jOy and fill the mouth with a songs of Praise! Suddenly I find myself dancing for jOy in the presence of my Holy Lord! You see, I have found that this is the secret to overcoming trials… it is GOD’S Love and “Joy” that keeps me going strong even in the midst of it all!
So when dark clouds seem to be coming your way, just lift your hands toward Heaven and start rejoicing. Focus on the faithfulness of the Lord, and lift your voice proclaiming HIS goodness and His Mercy. Begin thanking the Lord for His answers even when you don’t see it! Keep trusting that sweet victory is just around the bend. Believe me, our enemy can’t stand to be in a place where the jOy of the Lord abides!!
O Lord, May our mouths be filled with laughter, our tongues with Songs of JOY! May it be said among the Nations, “The Lord has done great and mighty things for them.” (Psalm 126:2)
For the JOY of the Lord is our strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10)
“Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY comes in the morning!”
(Psalms 30:5)

Keep Standing Strong
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Yes, The world seems to be growing mighty strange at a rapid pace! But let us keep in mind…We may live in a world of turmoil, but we are not of this world! For we serve Almighty God, The Divine Creator of The Universe and all that it contains! Hummm…then surely that means our God is greater than any of the world’s problems!
“Be alert and sober minded. 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)
Yes I admit it’s kinda hard to not go on what you see, hear or feel…Seems the ole enemy is always quick to insert doubt and fear. But God’s Word says….”Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (But be wise!) (John 14:27) That’s why it’s so important to keep standing strong in Faith by reading the Bible, imbedding God’s promises deep into your spirit. Do you know God is always with you! I find talking and listening to the Lord all through the day does wonders to strengthen your prayer life. And one thing I really have to practice is guarding the devils play-ground…my mind, by choosing to think on good, pure and lovely things! It helps to keep Praise and Worship Music going all through the day. Did you know our Prayers and our Worship are our weapons of mass destruction against the devil?! I encourage you to use your heavenly weapons!!
So yes, it is possible to live a Victorious Christian life in this crazy messed up world. For we “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)
So as you continue this journey homeward “May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7)
Remember fear doesn’t stand a chance when you’re standing strong in the everlasting Love of Christ!!

Here’s My Heart Lord
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:26)
O Lord, prompt me to open my Bible, to read and meditate upon Your Word. Remind me of the power of Prayer and teach me to linger at your feet, listening for your still small voice. Remind me of the importance of keeping Your Word deep inside my heart. Oh God I desire to know your very heartbeat! Set my heart ablaze O Lord. Let the beauty of Your goodness and love shine brightly to others, through Your light burning inside me! My heart’s desire is to radiate your love that other’s may be drawn to the light of Jesus Christ! Here’s my heart Lord.

Arise O Lord
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Dear Friends,
What we see and hear on the World News can be mighty disturbing at times. But we have the assurance that our Heavenly Father is in control!!!
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though it’s waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging…There is a River whose streams make glad the city of God, the Holy place where the Almighty dwells….Yes, Nations will uproar, kingdoms will fall;…but the Lord Almighty is with us!
Therefore, let us remember as we hear all the discouraging reports…the Battle belongs to the Lord!
”Arise O Lord and let your enemies be scattered”!!! (Numbers 10:35)
It is very plain to see, we are in a desperate need of a move of God in our Nation! So as the Children of the Most High God, with a strong determination to overcome, let us lift our voices with a SHOUT…”Come Lord, Set our hearts afire! Come and do what only YOU can do…We need a move of God!!
Listen to this powerful song below…

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….

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

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

Don’t give up!!
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
God knows your name, your nature, and your need today! But, the Father is searching the earth for hearts that are hungry, thirsty, and desperate for Him, seeking for a place where His glory may reside. Therefore, I encourage you; let the first steps of your day lead you into your “Sanctuary”. Enter in with a heart of worship and tarry there. Take the time to listen, to ask, to seek, to knock and to know, the heart of our Lord.
So no matter how discouraged you may get…Never give up!! Remember, just one word from God, one touch from our Savior, can transform a life forever!
…Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6)
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)
