“Grace”…God’s Unmerited Favor
Where there is LOVE…Mercy and Grace Abounds
The Lord is compassionate and gracious; slow to anger, abounding in love. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. 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. (Psalm 103:8; Eph. 2:8-10; Heb 4:16)
Because of His Grace, God offers salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ, so that we might have a relationship with Him! Once we have repented & accepted this free gift of salvation, His Grace declares us …..
• “Righteous”— Guilt and the shame of sin are removed
• ”Adopted” — We become a Child of God, adopted into the Family
• “Born Again” —We were spiritual dead but made alive with a new heart & spirit
• “Filled with the Holy Spirit”—We are given the presence of the Holy Spirit which guides us into all Truth, producing Wisdom, Love, Joy & Peace
• And His Grace declares us “FREE”— Free from the power of sin and death, so Trust & Faith may began to grow!
“You are a Chosen People, a Royal Priesthood, a HOLY Nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9) Therefore…“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” 4:16)
I pray you too will come to know and experience true Freedom found only in “Christ Jesus”! (see posting… No Greater Love)
As for me, I am so thankful to the Lord, for HIS never ending Love, Mercy & Grace has released the prison doors and sets me FREE! I’m ever so grateful that HE has raised me up from the old life, into the “New Life in Christ Jesus”! I will forever speak of God’s faithfulness to me! From the depths of my heart I will testify that HIS Mercies ARE new each & every morning!

Call Upon the Lord
Whether you are a Christian or not, you can be certain you will face problems in this ole world. We can expect problems because we live in a fallen world. But as Children of God, we have a great asset. We can call upon the Lord to strengthen and help us face any problems we may encounter.
Since we do not know what the future holds, then the best way to prepare for what is just around the bend is to daily seek the heart of your Heavenly Father. HIS answers come through different avenues…personal revelation, through Godly teaching, or through the advice of a grounded Christian friend. But most often God reveals HIS Will to us when we read HIS Word.
Don’t make the mistake of deciding a course of action without first consulting the Lord. Since He knows what is ahead, HE can prevent us from making bad choices.
“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” (Jeremiah 33:3)
So, never let anyone persuade you into moving forward until you have heard from the heart of God. Practice talking to the Lord in the good times and you become familiar with HIS still small voice. Then when troubles come, you automatically call out to HIM and recognize HIS voice.
HIS Word says…“He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. (Psalm 91:15)
But don’t wait till trials hit, come to know the heart of your Father by spending time in HIS presence. After all, HE is an all-knowing God who loves you and cares about everything that touches your life!

Look Up Mighty Warrior
Author: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Yes, I admit sometimes it seems life is just not fare. Seems I get through one trial and here comes another. As the battle rages on I have found myself getting mighty weary from the struggle of it all. And yes there are those times I would just like to pick up my toys and go home! But just when it seems I’m at the at the end of my rope these quiet Words of life are dropped into my Spirit……
”Sandy, Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27) Look up …“The LORD is with you, Mighty Warrior.” (Judges 6:12)“You are chosen, holy, righteous, and redeemed” by the Blood of the Lamb and the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells with in you!…Oh My Child, you may feel weak and defeated at times but… I, the Lord Your God…Promise to give strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. (Isaiah 40:29) because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4) Then He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
I find it so amazing how quickly the powerful Word of the Lord can transform a trial, giving hope, peace and comfort even in the wildest of storms.
So if you are going through hard times, in the midst of all the turmoil, grab your Bible and be still and allow the Lord to speak to you. Begin listening for those powerful Words of life to be dropped into your spirit. You too will be amazed!!

It is Well….
From the breaking of the dawn, all through the morning light, From Noon time shade, till Evening gives way to Night…this is my souls song of Praise…”It is Well…It is Well, with my Soul”!!!
“It is Well” is a song of powerful confession, that was birthed out of a horrible tragedy. It is also a song of great triumph! When the world is crumbling around me, when all hopes and dreams have been shattered, the enemy may come in like a flood…but yet I Sing! By the Grace of God I boldly stand in the face of my enemy and confess…”It is Well, It is Well with my Soul”.
I pray this wonderful hymn of truth is also the melody of your soul! (Click on the link below and sing it with me!) ~Sandy Garland Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Faithful, Tried & True
I have been walking with the Lord for many years. In my journey of Faith I have found that God’s Word is Living, Powerful and endures forever & ever! HIS promises are deep seeded in my heart and have carried me through many a trial in life! I continue to find over & over…that when all else fails, HIS Word stands Faithful, Tried & True!
How about you? Have you lost all Hope? Has your joy faded and withered like a flower? Open The Bible and find your promise!! God’s Word says if you seek me you will find me, if you seek me with all your heart! So search God’s Word “expecting” to find Him!! Then keep a journal. write your promises down. I find it helps to keep the promise ever before you…type them in big bold letters and post on your walls and repeat it every day! And even though you may grow weak and weary of the struggle of waiting…’Cling to that Word and guard it with all your might’! For your enemy will come in like a flood to steal and destroy all your hope and your heart knowledge from you – but only if you allow him to do so!!
Just REMEMBER, God’s Word is a powerful weapon…but you have to make an effort to read it and allow it to sink deep into your heart! So, I encourage you my Friend…Choose to walk in victory with the Lord! Stand your ground and do not waver in your Faith.
No matter what your circumstances you may be facing today, remember…
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall stand for ever. (Isaiah 40:8)
God is still on the Throne, Miracles still happen and yes, “Faith” still moves mountains!!
As you continue your journey to the heart of the Father, may you too find He is “Faithful, Tried & True”!! May you be blessed with this beautiful song below…

“My Redeemer is Faithful and True”…by Steven Curtis Chapman
Those Trying Times
Trials and hardships are a part of life. Each of us experiences them. Often they arrive without warning and leave us feeling helpless and out of control.
God uses every trial to draw us into a greater dependency upon HIM. But in order to really know Christ, we must first learn to be absolutely still before Him, even in the midst of troubled times. For when the Lord is the anchor of our soul then we learn it’s always best to wait upon Him! Remember, “Peace” is not the absence of adversity or trouble; it is the presence of Jesus in the midst of our situation! It’s then we find that He is very faithful to give needed strength to overcome any problems in life, both great and small!
This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…( Isaiah 30:15)
Maybe the road of life seems pretty smooth right now, but hang on tight for sooner or later you will hit a big rut and find yourself at your wits end! When it happens just remember…Draw close to Jesus—He will calm the winds of adversity in your life! Keep looking to HIM!

Why Worry…It solves Nothing!!
Did you know that “Do Not Worry” is in the Bible 365 times?!! That is a command for each day!! Did you know that “Worry”, is in a sense taking matters into your own hands and telling God you don’t trust Him! “Worry” does not add a single day to your life and most definitely DOES NOT solve problems!! In fact it has been proven that worry and anxiety weighs down the heart, making one physically & emotionally ill!! Worry and fretting is also an open invitation to the enemy to…come on in!
The Word of God gives very clear instructions how we are to face problems of life…“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you”. (1 Peter 5:7) I find that when anxiety is great within me, the Lord’s consolation brings me much peace of mind & His joy replaces my anxiety! Thus, I am able to begin looking at my situation in a more rational way.
Just remember…The LORD loves you and HE promises that HE will sustain you! HE also promises that HE will never let the Righteous be shaken. (Psalm 55:22) So, don’t just assume that you have all the answers, but be quick to run to God …”Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and HE will make your paths straight”. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
So Today, if you are carrying a heavy load, I encourage you to listen to this beautiful song below and instead of wasting time worrying, spend some time laying all your cares at the feet of Jesus and begin thanking Him for how He is working in your midst. As you begin to unload your burdens, you will be amazed how sweet peace comes flooding your soul. Suddenly you will find a new understanding as you begin viewing your situation in a fresh new light through the eyes & heart of God!
Take a look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they??? (Matthew 6:26)

“Awaken my Love”
The Bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. (Matt 25:5)
Awaken my Love…..You are a chosen people, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light….You are the people of God…You have received Mercy. (1 Peter 2:9)
…As a Bridegroom rejoices over his Bride, so will your God rejoice over you. (Isaiah 62:5)
The Midnight Cry is just about to ring out….are you ready?? The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty “Come”; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life…”Come”. (Revelation 22:17)
…Awaken my Love, a new day is about to dawn!
