Faithful & True
FAITH… “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)
Have you been clinging to a promise and praying about something or someone for a long time? Have you grown weary and maybe even beginning to doubt God? Well, don’t get discouraged my Friend…Even though you may not see it, keep trusting God’s Word and keep pressing into the heart of the Father! Remember the enemy will comes to steal, kill and destroy the promises of God you are clinging to!! So stand your ground and keep Praying and Thanking the Lord!!!
Remember, No matter what you see, No matter what you hear…NEVER, NEVER give up Hope! Brothers and Sister’s let’s keep the Faith and fight a good fight! “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for HE who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews 10:23) Therefore, Let’s keep our eyes on the Author & finisher of our Faith! For He who promised is Faithful and True! Can I get an Amen?!!

Facing Your Fears
Written by Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Everyone experiences certain degrees of fear from time to time and there is nothing wrong with being afraid, but it’s important to not allow fear to control our lives. When fear comes in like a flood, the Lord certainly understands the cries of a desperate heart. When you’re faced with fear, be open and honest with God, cry out to HIM and tell Him you are afraid and you don’t know what to do. Then acknowledge to God that you are weak, but HE is strong and powerful. And then take you position of Faith, fix your eyes on Jesus and wait upon Him to act. Remember that battle is not yours—but the Lord’s!!
If you be still stand firm in faith, you will be totally amazed as you watch GOD’s perfect plans unfold before you. Don’t be afraid, don’t waver. March right out of that valley —GOD is with you.”
Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
The Spirit commanded: “Be not afraid nor dismayed . . . for the battle is not yours, but God’s. . . Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you” (2 Chronicles 20:12, 15-17)
Be still and know that I am GOD. (Psalm 46:10)

JoY of My Soul
O Lord, 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)
In Christ alone my soul finds abundant jOy, a peaceful rest, and a blessed hope for all my tomorrows! As I’ve learned to rest in His presence, I have found my Lord so very Faithful. HE is the strength for my weakness, He is the Hope for my heart’s despair and He is the jOy of my weary soul!!! In Christ alone, I have found a fresh breath of New life!I Pray you too will experience the goodness of the Lord!

The Wife of
Noble Character
This scripture speaks of how to be an excellent Wife and Mother, but the first step is to spend time with the Lord, preparing your heart and drawing closer to the heart of the Father. No matter what stage you are in life, or in your walk with the Lord, striving to become a Proverbs 31 Woman should be put into practice daily.So I encourage you to keep the scriptures posted before you. The ‘Proverbs 31’ Wife is a good provider and protector for all those she loves and cares about. She may be wise to the ways of the world, but her life is guided by the wisdom of God. The key to being a Wife of noble character is found in verse 30, …”But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised”.
My prayer is that you will become a dynamic reflection of God’s amazing love!
~Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Proverbs 31 Woman
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.
She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Potholes of Life
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
These Scriptures have served as a constant reminder of the Lord’s Power, His Compassion and His Faithfulness to me! Even though the doctors were telling me otherwise…I choose to trust God’s word and allow my faith to soar to higher heights.
This is what God says about HIS Word…“So is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11)
“He took up our (my) infirmities and carried our (my)diseases.”(Matthew 8:17) “He was wounded for our (my) transgressions, He was bruised for our (my) iniquities: the chastisement of our (my) peace was upon Him; and by His stripes we (I am) are healed.” (Isaiah 53)
“My son, (daughter) pay attention to what I say; listen closely to My words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man’s whole body.” (Proverbs 4:20-22)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.” (Proverbs 3:5-8)
These promises are just an example of many I found in the Bible. I printed them on post cards and posted them all over my walls, doors & mirrors. One of the first things I had to put into practice was learning how to guard my mind from stinkin’ thinkin’!! As fear would try to grip my heart, I began reading the posted scriptures out loud! (really loud so the devil could hear me!) I daily surrendered my all unto God’s mighty hands and planted my feet on a solid foundation of Jesus Christ. As I stood steadfast in Faith, I began rejoicing and worshiping the Lord with all that was within me! I learned to not to worry and fret, and to never go on what I seen, heard or how I felt. With a child like faith I began to simply Trust and Believe that my Heavenly Father had a divine purpose for my life and His perfect Will shall be done…In His most precise time!!!
Years have come and gone and I can gladly testify that my Jesus is Faithful…I am a victorious Over-comer!!
Yes, life happens and sooner or later there will be challenges and hurdles to cross. But you can prepare yourself! I encourage you to spend quiet time in the Word, in worship and in Prayer. As the trials come, you may find yourself searching for why’s & why not’s, but …”Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” (Prov 3:5-6)
As you face the impossible; Place your faith in the unseen hand of God. You will find the Lord is ever so faithful to all His promises. So when you hit a pothole in the path of life, remember, God has not forgotten you! He sees you, He knows you, He loves you and awaits with open arms!! Together you will get through this trial!! Listen to this beautiful song…..

“A Priceless Love”
Praying the Scripture (written as a personal prayer) You are loved for an eternity!!
Be blessed! ~ Healing Rain to the Nations
My Lord, My God….
How priceless is your unfailing love, I take refuge in the shadow of your wings. (Psalm 36:7)
By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.(Psalm 42:8)
I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. (Psalm 52:8)
“Lord, you are a great and awesome God, who keeps your covenant of love with those who love you and keep your commandments. (Daniel 9:4)
And I know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
Who shall separate me from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things I am more than a conqueror through him who loved me. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate me from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:35-39)
Therefore, I walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved me and gave himself up for me as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (Ephesians 5:2)
Jesus, thank you for loving me just the way I am…How priceless is your unfailing Love!!! ~Amen
When nothing else will help…His Love lifts me higher!
O Lord…”Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.” Psalm 90:14
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:8-39
THANK YOU LORD FOR THE POWER OF YOUR ETERNAL LOVE!!!! AMEN

Be Ye Kind…
When my brother Bill and I were growing up we heard this scripture quoted a lot when we got into a squabble. That was many years ago, but I can still hear my Momma preaching it to us…”Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted forgiving one another “. (Eph 4:32). Even now in my mature years I find it’s certainly a Word to live by!
