Songs of Joy
written by Sandy Blaser, HRN
Even though the battle rages on, with all my heart I will trust in My God!
Throughout the years of my christian walk, God has been so very faithful to His promises. No my life has never been easy. You see, a crippling disease attacked my body at a young age. Therefore I have overcome many obstacles and continue to face strong hurdles along the way. But you see, I made a decision long ago….no matter how rugged the journey gets, I will Trust the Lord and cling tightly to a promise that HIS hand of Mercy will guide me through the heated trials of life.
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13
Now I admit, there are times I’m tempted to just pick-up my toys and go home. Yes, The ole enemy ls persistent, but when the devil starts planting the thought of giving up, that triggers me into action…I begin dwelling upon all the answered prayers and good things that God has done in my life. And with the Lord’s help I keep pressing onward to the finish line, proclaiming the Lord’s amazing faithfulness to me!
You see, I have learned….when a mind is set upon Christ, He begins to flood the heart with jOy and fill the mouth with a songs of Praise! Suddenly I find myself dancing for jOy in the presence of my Holy Lord! You see, I have found that this is the secret to overcoming trials… it is GOD’S Love and “Joy” that keeps me going strong even in the midst of it all!
So when dark clouds seem to be coming your way, just lift your hands toward Heaven and start rejoicing. Focus on the faithfulness of the Lord, and lift your voice proclaiming HIS goodness and His Mercy. Begin thanking the Lord for His answers even when you don’t see it! Keep trusting that sweet victory is just around the bend. Believe me, our enemy can’t stand to be in a place where the jOy of the Lord abides!!
O Lord, May our mouths be filled with laughter, our tongues with Songs of JOY! May it be said among the Nations, “The Lord has done great and mighty things for them.” (Psalm 126:2)
For the JOY of the Lord is our strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10)
“Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY comes in the morning!”
(Psalms 30:5)

Keep Standing Strong
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Yes, The world seems to be growing mighty strange at a rapid pace! But let us keep in mind…We may live in a world of turmoil, but we are not of this world! For we serve Almighty God, The Divine Creator of The Universe and all that it contains! Hummm…then surely that means our God is greater than any of the world’s problems!
“Be alert and sober minded. For your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8) Therefore, I urge you to prepare yourself “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13)
Yes I admit it’s kinda hard to not go on what you see, hear or feel…Seems the ole enemy is always quick to insert doubt and fear. But God’s Word says….”Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (But be wise!) (John 14:27) That’s why it’s so important to keep standing strong in Faith by reading the Bible, imbedding God’s promises deep into your spirit. Do you know God is always with you! I find talking and listening to the Lord all through the day does wonders to strengthen your prayer life. And one thing I really have to practice is guarding the devils play-ground…my mind, by choosing to think on good, pure and lovely things! It helps to keep Praise and Worship Music going all through the day. Did you know our Prayers and our Worship are our weapons of mass destruction against the devil?! I encourage you to use your heavenly weapons!!
So yes, it is possible to live a Victorious Christian life in this crazy messed up world. For we “Live by faith, not by sight,” yet taking a bold and courageous stand for what is right in the eyes of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:7)
So as you continue this journey homeward “May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7)
Remember fear doesn’t stand a chance when you’re standing strong in the everlasting Love of Christ!!

Conquering Your Fear’s
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
As an African Missionary once told me…When a lion stalks its prey, he roars very loud. You would think that the prey would run, but, the loud roar paralyzes it with fear.
Yes, the enemy prowls aground like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour! But did you know….As a Child of God, the devil has no power over you, but he does toil with your thinking! Therefore, be quick to recognize where those negative thoughts and fears are coming from. Learn to take control of the “stinkin’ thinkin” and don’t allow the devils lies to linger in your brain! Be alert, do not allow the enemy to paralyze your faith! Stand firm in God’s Word, knowing in your heart that the Lord is fighting battles for you…
“Do not be afraid, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you.” (Deuteronomy 3:22)
Remember….Your enemy has already been defeated at Calvary by the Blood of the Lamb! So, guard your mind and keep pressing onward, placing all your trust and faith in Jesus Christ. For HE promises to give you the strength to courageously overcome the adversities of life!! I know by experience…Through Christ, you can conquer your fears!!
“God has not given us (you) a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
My child….“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

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!

His Grace is Sufficient
written by: Sandy Blaser, 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 Corinthians 12:9)
Our God is so very faithful and His promises are true!! So whatever your situation, give it to the Lord and then just simply trust Him. After-all He desires His best for you and yes…He will make a way!
Remember, Almighty God is the only one that can satisfy a weary soul! So when you are tempted to worry and fret…Look to the author and finisher of your faith! Jesus sees you. HE knows you. HE loves you!!!
May you be blessed by this beautiful song….
God Will Make a Way (with lyrics) – Don Moen
Never Give up Hope!
“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. For the Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer and enables me to climb to higher heights”. (Habakkuk 3:17-18) “Blessed is the on who trust in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him”! (Jeremiah 17:7)

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….
Shane & Shane: I Will Wait For You (Psalm 130)
Let Go and Let God
Dear Friend’s, Don’t let a past of hurts and disappointments rule your life…Let the past GO…Trust JESUS!!!
This is His promise to you……
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” ( Isaiah 43:18-19).
Whatever hurts you may have experienced or uncontrollable circumstances you may be facing, keep this in mind….Fear doesn’t have a chance when you stand strong in your faith, wrapped in the power of God’s Love! “There is no fear in love; but perfect love cast out fear” (1 John 4:18)
When all is surrendered into His perfect divine Will…behold all things are new! There is “resurrection power” in the name of Jesus!
