SOMMER FAMILY BLESSING

Welcome to the blog for Linda Sommer.

My Blog will cover three subjects:

WORD FROM THE LORD, FAMILY, and MINISTRY.

WORD FROM THE LORD
Every day I spend time with the Lord in the morning and He speaks to my heart words that are encouraging, exhorting and sometimes rebuking.

At first, I felt not to share these words with others, but then I realized I am just one of His followers. There are many people who need a word daily from the Lord, but they do not have the time to seek Him. This is why I decided to share the words I received from time to time. The messages are in first person as the the Lord relayed them to my spirtual ears.

FAMILY
We have three sons and nine grandchildren. There is something new happening all the time in the Sommer family. I will post some of these events of interest.

MINISTRY
Tom and I have traveled the world. To find out more about our ministry you may consult our webpage -

I will keep you updated on future speaking enagements and ministry developments.

STRIFE

There are two kinds of strife.  There is the strife that occurs when you are arguing with others and there is the strife that no one can see.  That strife is in your thought life.  Both kinds of strife are rooted in pride or envy.  Look into My Word carefully, and you will see that pride is the root of all contention and that envy is what causes wars.  The lust of the pride of life (seeking your own way rather than trusting in Me) is what opens the door to the enemy to cause strife in your life.

Whenever your mind is obsorbed with selfish thoughts, your mind is in a state of strife.  You are restless, worried, anxious, fearful, and frustrated.  You are striving against Me.  I want to be the captain of your thought life.  I can only win that battle in your mind if you take captive every vain imagination and exalted thought that counters My will and give that thought to Me.

Resist pride in your life by humbling yourself daily to Me. You humble yourself by casting every care upon Me.  Also when you see yourself as I see you, strife will cease in your mind.  When you understand that you are the very righteousness of God in Me, you will never have to prove your point to others and My peace will cause strife to cease in your life.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:4-7; PROVERBS 13:10
