His Love Endures Forever
Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him a new song, tell of all his wonderful acts. Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders Christ has done in your life…Give Thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever! (1 Chronicles 16)
As we approach the Holiday season, I pray you will take time to give all Glory, Honor and Thanks unto the Lord! Here’s why—he loves you more than you could ever imagine. And you have his promise….His faithfulness and love for you will never end!
So no matter how you’re feeling or whatever situation you are up against, come on and lift those hands giving thanks to God for His marvelous blessing’s and loving kindness, for His miracles of Mercy and Grace and especially for your freedom of Salvation!! Whether you are celebrating with Family or Friends, don’t ever be ashamed to give thanks unto the Lord and always be quick to encourage other’s and testify of God’s goodness. You may just shine a ray of hope into someone’s darkness.
I encourage you to always be prepared in season and out of season…Pray, Feast upon God’s Word and Freely Lavish your praises upon Christ Our Lord! And oh yes…Sing a new song!!
“Give Thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever!” (1 Chronicles 16)
Keep standing in His Love!! ~Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations

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!!

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)

I Am Redeemed
~San, Healing Rain to the Nations
Have you experienced the freedom of Christ? Has God ever rescued you from danger or protected you from the furry of the storm? Have you been set free from the prison of drugs and alcohol? Has the Lord ever provided in an unexplainable way? Have you experienced God’s miraculous healing power? Have you experienced the redemption and the salvation of the Lord?
Then you have been Redeemed!! Lift you voice of triumph and give all Glory to God Almighty, for His loving devotion, faithfulness and kindness endures forever! I say Stand UP and….
“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, for he has redeemed you from the hand of the enemy!!” (Psalm 107:2)
Always be prayed up, eager and ready to share your testimony. The world around you needs to hear what God has done in your life! YOUR personal Testimony of God’s goodness is a powerful tool! So come on shake off your heavy chains….wipe away every stain….You are not who you used to be…..You have been Redeemed!! Give the Lord a Shout to GLORY!! Share with the world….Let the Redeemed of the Lord tell their story — those He redeemed from the hand of the foe! Amen!! ~ Healing Rain to the Nations

Grace in Time of Need
“Therefore, since we have a Great High Priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the Faith we profess.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did NOT sin.
So…..Let us then approach God’s Throne of Grace with confidence, so that we may receive Mercy and find Grace to help us in our time of need.” (Hebrews 4:15-16)
God sees you, He knows you, He Loves YOU!!

Hiding Place
Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Sometimes life seems to be spinning out of control at a high rate of speed. But Thank the Lord I do not face this chaotic world alone!!! God has proven Himself to be so Faithful and True! The Lord has become My Safety, My Comfort, the Haven of Rest I run to! It’s there in the shadow of HIS wing I find rest for my weary soul, hope for all my tomorrows and strength to face another day! I am so amazed, when my mind is steadfast upon the Lord and His Word, HE lifts my burdens and fills my heart with a beautiful song of Praise!! Glory to HIS Name!!
So, if you are finding yourself in a tough place with nowhere to turn, keep this promise in mind…
I will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in (Me). (Isaiah 26:3) I will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain. (Isaiah 4:6)
Do you realize that whatever you are facing, Your Creator, promises to see you through! But you see, HE is waiting for you to acknowledge… HE is there!
I encourage you to find that secret hiding place. Search the scriptures and make it a deep personal cry from your heart to the Heart of Your Heavenly Father. (Here’s an example) God is ever listening…
Oh Lord, Your Word says…”When The righteous cry out, the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.(Psalm 34:17) Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; (Psalm 130:1) Oh Lord…”You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” (Psalm 32:7) Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. (Psalm 25:5)
After you have prayed all and cried all…then be still and listen, wait for the Lords loving reply to you…
”I will instruct you and teach you in all the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye upon you”. (Psalm 32:7-8)
Do you know, the Word of God is a love letter to you…embrace it, pray it, and hide it in your heart!
Thank the Lord, in this wild wicked world we live in, HE has provided that secret place of safety and rest where we can run to anytime night or day!! For in all my weakness, I find my peace, jOy and strength in Christ!!! ~San, HRN
You Are My Hiding Place – Selah ( 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!!
