Self-control is one of the fruits of My Spirit. It is interesting that this fruit depends more on your own decisions and choices than any other fruit of the Spirit. Yes, I am the One Who develops the fruit of the Spirit in you as you yield to My Holy Spirit. However, in the case of self-control, you have to make the decision to change your thinking and the way you are doing things.
Self-control is not a gift. It is a choice. The part you play in the development of this fruit is extremely important. I want you to give Me the strongholds in your life that keep you from living a fruitful, disciplined life. Those strongholds may cause you to have a life of dreaming, not doing. Daily I give you knowledge, but if you do not apply that knowledge, you will have no wisdom. Wisdom is active. knowledge of Me applied in your life to change your way of thinking and doing in such a way that the fruit of self-control will be produced.
Today look to Me. Ask Me to help your thinking patterns to change. The changes have to take place now. Faith is now. Receive from Me today the faith that you need to believe that you can become a person who has great self-control. Renew your mind by reading and heeding My Word, and you will see this fruit come to maturity in your life.
GALATIANS 5:22-23

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.
