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!

“Jesus”…The Music of My Soul
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Music has always been a big part of my life. When I was a little girl I sang in the kids choir at Church. When at home I played church,,,I lined up my dollies on the couch and would sing and preach to them. Over the years I sung in Church Choirs and ministered with numerous Gospel Music Groups. Even now I greatly enjOy gathering around the ole piano with Friends and singing!!
When I’m doing housework, cooking, gardening or shopping, I am always humming and singing a song. Most of the time I’m not even aware of it till it’s brought to my attention when someone approaches and tells me they are enjoying my song!
You see…Jesus has placed so much jOy in my soul I just can’t contain it!!
The Lord is my Strength and shield. I trust Him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with jOy. I burst out in songs of Thanksgiving.
(Psalm 26:7)
The Lord is my Helper, my Sustainer, my Strength and Protector. the Lifter of my Head and so much more!! Through life’s trial’s and challenges I’ve learned to trust my Lord with all my heart!! So, when I think of Jesus and what He means to me, my ole heart overflows with so much jOy that I burst out in a hApPy little tune of Praise….anywhere, anytime! “Jesus” truly is the music of my soul and the reason my ole heart RejOices!!
So no matter where you are or what you’re doing, come on and strike up a little tune…”SiNg for Jesus”!!
This is just one of my favorites…EnjOy!! ~San

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)
Carman – “Fear Not My Child”
Splendor of His Holiness
Worship the Lord in all His splendor and Holiness….“Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain,But a woman who fears the Lord [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], she shall be praised.” (Proverbs 31:30)
God’s word says…”Be Holy for I Am Holy”. He who called you is Holy and Righteous. Did you know…YOU also are called to be holy in all your conduct?? God’s word says…”I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy.” (Levi 11:44)
Christ’s love for us is greater than anyone can ever imagine! I pray you will set aside a time in your busy day, to tarry before the Cross. There in His magnificent presence, may you begin experiencing HIS powerful liquid love pouring over you. As you touch HIS heart with your prayers, your praise and worship, then your life can be filled with everything beautiful that God has in store for you. For the Lord honors those who call upon Him! He calls you…” Friend”!!
Wishing you a most beautiful day in His magnificent, Holy Presence! ~ Healing Rain to the Nations

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

‘Amazing Grace’… is a beautiful old hymn that praises God for saving a wretched, sinful soul like me! It is a personal testimony for…”Yes, I was lost but now I’m found, I was blind but now I see!” And it’s all because of God’s Amazing Grace!
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” (Romans 3:23, 24 NIV).
Some may think of God as nothing but judgmental and vengeful and live their lives in fear of Him. That kind of belief leaves one doubting and afraid, wondering if God has stopped loving you. But God extends to you His Mercy & Grace. Grace is an undeserved favor or gift; the undeserved forgiveness, kindness and mercy that God gives us.
We find the truth in the scriptures: HE is a God of second chances… “Grace” is God’s goodness and mercy lavished upon those who seek forgiveness.
Understand this…Grace is not a license to do evil, but essentially, an escape route for us when we regret having sinned.
Grace has two qualities…
- Grace is given to us regardless of whether we deserve it or not and
- Grace is freely given at no cost to you. You will find Grace freely flows at Calvary where your debt has paid in full! Just accept it!!
I pray you see the hand of the Lord that is always extended to you, inviting you to come just as you are. COME… to the river that overflows with freedom, love, peace, and calm assurance. Acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of a Saviour! There at the foot of the old rugged Cross you will receive Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness. There the gift of Eternal Life awaits…all because it is God’s Will that none should perish.
Oh how powerful, how wonderful, how marvelous is…God’s Amazing Grace!
