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!!

Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) – Chris Tomlin (with lyrics)

psalm 73.26c

Here’s My Heart Lord

written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:26)

O Lord, prompt me to open my Bible, to read and meditate upon Your Word. Remind me of the power of Prayer and teach me to linger at your feet, listening for your still small voice. Remind me of the importance of keeping Your Word deep inside my heart. Oh God I desire to know your very heartbeat! Set my heart ablaze O Lord. Let the beauty of Your goodness and love shine brightly to others, through Your light burning inside me! My heart’s desire is to radiate your love that other’s may be drawn to the light of Jesus Christ! Here’s my heart Lord.

The Light of My Life

written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations

I Am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life.”(John 8:12)

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105)

O Lord, I pray that my life be a shinning beacon of the Light, walking faithfully before You. I surrender myself as a willing vessel – a bright light of hope, displaying the love of Christ and the power of Your Truth.

I choose Your Word as my road-map, a bright lamp unto my feet, lighting every step of my pathway. I ask for wisdom and your Holy presence to guide and direct my every footstep. My desire to live my life on behalf of others…bringing Hope, Healing, restoration to the heart and soul and yes, even bringing jOy into someone’s darkened world.

But Lord I desperately need YOU!  Come, be the Light of My Life!  Like a rushing wind come breath within…Lord have your way in me! I surrender…I surrender!

Faith Exercised

written by ~ Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations

Faith is like a muscle, it must be exercised to grow!  The body’s Vital Organs and Skeletal System are protected by muscles.  But, by not taking action and failing to exercise leaves one in a weakened condition, rendered helpless and vulnerable to accident & disease.

The same applies to your Faith! Yes the Word says…”Faith as small as a Mustard seed”, but remember… When that Faith is NOT exercised it leaves you exposed in a weakened condition, defenseless and susceptible to the attacks of the enemy!

So be aware…”The enemy prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour”!  As the devil stalks, he is looking for “the weak in Faith”!  The Word says…”Resist the enemy & HE shall flee”, but without exercised faith, you are in a weakened condition and no match for the enemy!

Resistance is found through exercised Faith in Jesus Christ.  Faith is exercised on a daily basis and strengthened through “Prayer, Worship & The Word”.  You see, the Lord desires that you really know HIM!  Listen—HE is calling…“Draw near to ME and I will draw nearer to you.”   And as you yield to the beckoning of HIS still small voice…tarry there.  And there in HIS presence ‘talk to HIM and Listen’…As you will begin experiencing HIS ever abiding love, your Faith will soar to new heights!

An example of this kind of faith is Abraham…He spent time with the Lord.  He did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” (Romans 4:19-22)

The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen your (faith) and protect you from the evil one. (2 Thessalonians 3:3)  Just as Abraham, may you come to recognize the significance of exercising your faith…by spending time at His feet!  For it is there our faith is strengthened and we are equipped for the battle!  Keep in mind…The Lord does not force Himself upon anyone…it is a free choice.  As for me… “Christ” has become an absolute necessity in my life!!

Pray, Wait, Trust…”Dear Lord, Help me to exercise the Faith that I have been given so that I will grow stronger each day.”  

Be blessed by this beautiful song….

1 Pet 2.24

Seeking “The Healer”

Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations

Throughout the years of my journey of silent suffering, I have found God’s Holy Word is Powerful, Tried and True. And yes, God is so very faithful to HIS Promises! Believe me, this is so very important when all else fails you and there is nothing else to cling to!

So if you find yourself in the midst of a faith challenging situation, I encourage you to be quick to run to the Father’s arms. Affirm your trust in His Holy Word and believing He holds your best at heart! Then begin laying down all your thoughts and idea’s about “healing” and surrender to a deep “personal relationship” with Christ.

His Word says “Seek Me, you will find ME, if you seek me with ALL your heart”! So as you cry out to the Lord, take time to listen closely for that still small voice. You will find the Lord is tenderhearted and compassionate and patiently waiting to talk to you….After-all He is very familiar with pain and suffering!

He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53)

Therefore, I encourage you to Worship the Lord in all His grandeur and majesty, for it is so important to let your focus be upon the “Healer”, not the healing!! And when you open your heart and give HIM all authority to be glorified in you and through you…don’t be surprised at what you may experience! As you stand amazed in His presence, you too will find God honors a seeking heart as He begins to reveal His Power and Glory in a special way. For when we approach the Throne of Grace, seeking “The Healer”… Guess What!…..Miracles Happen!!

He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”  (1 Peter 2:24)

Jesus is indeed the Great Healer, He is the Great Physician!

May you be abundantly blessed by this beautiful song…. ~San

2 Corin12.9

His Grace is Sufficient

~Healing Rain to the Nations

Whatever situation I may be facing today, I know in my heart that God’s GRACE is sufficient! In all my weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. I have learned to rely upon the Lord…”For when I am weak, HE is strong”. It’s in Christ I find my Hope, my strength and the Grace to face another day.

So when your world is crumbling apart and you just can’t go on, remember…God’s Word says…

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”  (2 Corin 12:9)

Almighty God is the only one that can satisfy a weary soul!  Look to Jesus for He is so very faithful and True!!  HE sees you. HE knows you. HE loves you!!!

May you be blessed by this beautiful song….

God’s Point of View

written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations

One of the most awesome moments was when I was flying into Portland on a beautiful clear, sunny day. The Pilot announced that it was the clearest he has ever flown. All along the flight He proceeded to point out snow covered mountain’s peaks to the north and to the south. Wow, so amazing! This began to trigger my brain to thinking of how God view’s my own life….

Did you know God has an omniscient, omnipotent view of our lives as believers! Nothing is hidden, He sees all, He knows all! He is aware of every detail of our lives from birth (even before we were conceived) until death! Since God knows every detail of our past, our present and our future so very well, surely I should rely upon Him in every event in my life! Surely without a doubt I can fully trust Him with every moment of my life.

God is an all-seeing, all-knowing God and we can rely upon His strength and wisdom as we face life’s challenges and obstacles! Wow, that means we are not limited by our own strength and wisdom…Thank you Lord!! The Lord has given us the scriptures to help us in making wise decisions from His viewpoint. When we are hemmed in by our circumstances and can’t see from all the fog, we can seek God prayerfully and regularly spend time in His Word which will enables us to break thorough the barriers of life with His insight!!

So rejoice my Friend…even tho sometimes it may feel you are all alone….God knows every detail of your life, He cares and He Loves you with an everlasting Love!! What may seem like an ordinary event or even a disaster in your life…rest assured, God will use all the good and not so good for His Divine Purpose! Trust Him, He will make something beautiful out of your life!

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)

Ice Skating on the Pond

written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations

On this chilly morning I set bundled in a blanket watching the flames dance in the fireplace. My mind begin’s to drift through the pages of yesteryear’s.…

I can just hear my sweet Daddy’s voice of excitement waking me up for School…”Sis, it won’t be long till the ice on the pond is thick enough to Skate!”

As snowflakes began to fill the air, us kids would keep a watchful eye on the ole thermometer hangin’ on the front porch. When temps began dropping towards “0″, and winds got bitter cold, we knew it wouldn’t be long. Daddy would never let us kids on the pond until the ice was a certain thickness. Every morning Dad had to chop a waterhole for the cows, therefore he kept close watch on the thickness of the ice. Then came the moment we had been waiting for… the big “OK, Let’s Skate”!!

Sometimes Mom and Dad and even our old dog would join us kids!  We had no skates, but I had the next best thing…a pair of old black and white Saddle Oxford’s.  Them leather sole’s were mighty slick! 

As the giggles rang throughout the Holler, the ole Cows gathered around in curiosity!  Oh what plain simple fun we had together there on that ole Pond.  For those moments in time, worries and concerns were left at the pond-bank as the air was filled with jOy and laughter and oh yes, even a few snowball’s!!

We skated till our fingers and toes we’re frozen numb. Then we headed to the old farmhouse where Momma’s steaming hot chocolate and a warm fire was awaiting us. Oh yes, I remember how bad the frozen fingers and toes hurt as they began to warm up! But oh…it was so worth it!! I will forever cherish my Family and all the sweet memories of the simple-life, growing up in the Holler!!

Jesus was the center of our Family life.  We depended upon the Lord for everything.  Below is a Favorite song our Family loved to sing together.  Come on and Lift you voice and rejOice!….Enjoy this beautiful old Gospel Song that was very much a part of my wonderful life in the Holler!   Be blessed!  ~San, Healing Rain to the Nations
