The world system you live in is founded on how much a person can gain. However, My kingdom is founded on how much can a person lose. Most people in the world seek to gain recognition, gain money, gain promotions, gain good grades, and about the only thing in the world that is not founded on gain is weight. Most people want to lose weight.
The abundant life that I want to give everyone who believes in Me can only be gained through loss. One must lose his own ambition, his own prejudices, his own plans, and his own money. Sometimes the believer is required to lose the relationships that in the past pulled him away from Me.
My servant Paul said that he suffered loss of all things that he might win Me. I said, "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. The cross is you with every selfish thought of gain. Are you willing today to give yourself fully to Me and allow My Spirit to fill every part of your being?"
PHILIPPIANS 3:7-8; LUKE 9:23

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.
