Conquering Your Fear’s
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
As an African Missionary once told me…When a lion stalks its prey, he roars very loud. You would think that the prey would run, but, the loud roar paralyzes it with fear.
Yes, the enemy prowls aground like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour! But did you know….As a Child of God, the devil has no power over you, but he does toil with your thinking! Therefore, be quick to recognize where those negative thoughts and fears are coming from. Learn to take control of the “stinkin’ thinkin” and don’t allow the devils lies to linger in your brain! Be alert, do not allow the enemy to paralyze your faith! Stand firm in God’s Word, knowing in your heart that the Lord is fighting battles for you…
“Do not be afraid, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you.” (Deuteronomy 3:22)
Remember….Your enemy has already been defeated at Calvary by the Blood of the Lamb! So, guard your mind and keep pressing onward, placing all your trust and faith in Jesus Christ. For HE promises to give you the strength to courageously overcome the adversities of life!! I know by experience…Through Christ, you can conquer your fears!!
“God has not given us (you) a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
My child….“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Whom Shall I Fear [The God of Angel Armies] By Chris Tomlin with Lyrics
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!!

His Grace is Sufficient
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Whatever situation I may be facing today, I know in my heart that God’s GRACE is sufficient! In all my weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. I have learned to rely upon the Lord…”For when I am weak, HE is strong”. It’s in Christ I find my Hope, my strength and the Grace to face another day.
So when your world is crumbling apart and you just can’t go on, remember…God’s Word says…
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Our God is so very faithful and His promises are true!! So whatever your situation, give it to the Lord and then just simply trust Him. After-all He desires His best for you and yes…He will make a way!
Remember, Almighty God is the only one that can satisfy a weary soul! So when you are tempted to worry and fret…Look to the author and finisher of your faith! Jesus sees you. HE knows you. HE loves you!!!
May you be blessed by this beautiful song….
God Will Make a Way (with lyrics) – Don Moen
Never Give up Hope!
“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. For the Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer and enables me to climb to higher heights”. (Habakkuk 3:17-18) “Blessed is the on who trust in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him”! (Jeremiah 17:7)
Keep trusting and looking UP!! ~ Healing Rain to the Nations
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.”

His Grace Is Sufficient For Me
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)

He is a Good Father
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. (Psalm 118:29)
Thankfulness is birthed when we bow our hearts; as well as our knees…When I call upon His name I find my God is always ready to listen and accept me… just as I am. For a few quiet moments I close my eyes and began opening my heart. God lovingly begins revealing my very soul. Suddenly I sense HIS wonderful love flowing over me. I taste HIS Forgiveness, HIS Grace, HIS Goodness and Mercy, it’s then I know…HE is all I need!
My Friend, no matter where you have been or what you have done, the Lord is always there waiting with open arm’s, eager to forgive, always ready to love you back to His heart! Run to His presence, there you will find love and acceptance and fullness of joy, a bright hope for tomorrow and a reason to live! HE is a good, good Father! Be blessed by this beautiful song….
