As you go through life, you will have many desires. There are two kinds of desires - worldly desires and holy desires. The worldly desires are called lusts - The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. The lust of the flesh is simply fulfilling your five senses in an addictive, obsessive way. The lust of the eyes is simply covetousness (you see something and you desire it). Greed is also a fruit of this lust. The lust called the pride of life is trusting in yourself and your own resources more than you trust in God.
I give the desires of the righteous. This means that when you are walking with Me in the Spirit, you will not give in to selfish, worldly desires. Instead, you will yield to the holy desires that I have placed in your heart. The word, "holy," simply means to be set apart to do My will just as I was set apart to do My Father's will.
Today give Me your inner being (mind, will, and emotions) and allow Me to place the desires that I have planned for you to fulfill. Then I will be able to both give you the will to do My will and also the grace and power to accomplish it.

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.
