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….

Facing the Storm
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24
True faith has to be tested and refined as silver & gold…
In the midst of a howling sea of sorrow, pain, loneliness & despair, powerful waves well up to overtake me! In a distance I hear a voice calling my name! I struggle in the swift currents to take a hold of a hand reaching out for mine! As it seems I’m going under for one last time, suddenly I feel a hand firmly grasping hold of my arm, lifting me out of the angry sea and drawing me up to new heights. With the touch of His hand my soul senses a powerful love flowing, as my feet are set on a solid rock! This magnificent love enables me to stand unwavering on a mountain of Faith! As I stand gazing beyond my present stormy sea, my joy is restored, my strength is renewed and the determination to overcome wells up within my soul! For Christ alone is my Salvation, My Hope of Eternity! …And Once again I realize God has allowed my faith to be tested & refined! And once again I find HE is so very faithful!! All Glory to His Name!
Here are some thoughts to ponder: “The stronger the battle , the greater the resistance, the bigger the muscle”! Therefore we should not oppose trials, but embrace them! For we have a promise that not a hair on our head will be burned, nor the waves will overtake us! (Isaiah 43) Boldly we will emerge from the fire brilliantly glowing…as a pure reflection of His heart!

“Give Me Jesus” by Jeremy Camp
Surrender it all
Did you know You were never meant to carry a heavy load!
The Lord promises to carry all your heartaches and burdens, if only you will trust Him and allow Him to work in your circumstances. He promises He will not permit the godly to slip or fall. He will give clear divine direction …if only you listen. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matt 11:28) ”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 be quick to give your problems, your concerns and cares to the Lord, releasing the weight of it upon His shoulders. As you stand in total submission, the Lord will uphold you and pour over you His amazing love, blessing you with His jOy and sweet peace, even in the midst of it all.
So if you are tired and weary from carrying a heavy load…give it all to Jesus..Surrender it all!! Look to the Lord, confirm your love and trust in Him, you will be amazed at how your faith will arise to new heights and your steps will be made steadfast and sure! Release that heavy load, casting it all upon Jesus. Afterall He has given you His Word….”Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” (Psalm 55:22) and He will never forsake those who seek Him with all their heart….(Psalm 9:10)
Lord have your way in me…I surrender!!

“Fluff Your Tu-Tu”
Ever been around a person with an abrasive personality?
Did you know…people can’t get under your skin unless you allow them to! Recognize that some people are just plain ole self-centered energy drainer’s! Don’t allow yourself to be hooked into their situation’s. Now you can’t control what others say and do, but you can control how you respond or react to certain situation’s.
So….Have a canned response ready “Thank you for your input” and walk away or sometimes it’s best to say nothing and walk away! Realize that most often it isn’t about you but about them. But once you react to others craziness, it then becomes about you too.
So, learn to laugh and see the humor of the situation. Next time just fluff your Tu-Tu and dance away!!
“The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:19-22)
“Therefore, As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” (Colossians 3:12) Be blessed by this beautiful song below…~ Healing Rain to the Nations
”Lord I Need You” – Chris Tomlin
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 to the Hills
Written by: Sandy Blaser, HRN
Are you facing a tough time right now?….
Then…lift up your my eyes to the hills—and know where your help must come from!! As for me…My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1)
He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. (Psalm 121
So if you are being bombarded by the enemy right now, I encourage you to just begin speaking the wonderful, powerful, matchless name of JESUS and you will be amazed at how fast your enemy tucks his tail and runs the other way!! Then invite the Lord in your midst! For with Him embracing and upholding you, then you will be able to think much clearer and make wise decisions. Remember, having the Lord in your life is such a blessing—lean on HIM! HE knows you and HE loves you now and tomorrow and forever more. And you have His promise to never leave your side!
So, until the answer comes, from dawn to dusk, keep lifting your eyes to the Hills and your voice in praises to the KING!

Have You Seen Him??
Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
(Inspired by “GOD CAME NEAR” Author, Max Lucado)
Some people suffer from a form of “blindness”. Think about it…One can live in a Garden, but never focus on the beauty of a flower. You can live near a beautiful site all your life & never really realize the grandeur. You can spend a lifetime with a person and yet, never look into their soul. And also a person can be all that goodness calls him to be, yet never see the Author of Life!
Being religious, honest and moral, doesn’t necessarily mean we will see HIM!! We may get a glimpse of Him through others eyes, their experiences, their words, we may think we have seen HIM, but yet until we ourselves have been given our own sight, it’s as if we are gazing through a hazy glass window.
Have you seen HIM? Do YOU know HIM?? Have you caught a glimpse of HIS Majesty? Has it been a while since you met with HIM? Is your faith shaky? Do you feel as if you do not have the strength to face your problems? Perhaps your vision of the LORD has been blurred. Just as Thomas, may we bow and lay our faces at HIS nail pierced feet & declare…”My Lord, My God”!! One glimpse of the KING can change your life …forever!
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His Glory, …full of Grace & Truth”. John 1:14
