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.

WITHHOLD

The word, "withhold," has a negative connotation.  My adversary put the first thought of withholding in mankind.  My plan was to give, give, and give when I created the Earth.  Satan was able to put the thought in Eve's mind that I was withholding something good from her and her mate.

That wicked serpent tantalized Eve with the thought that if she ate of the fruit from the forbidden tree, she could become like the gods, knowing good and evil.  When Eve saw that the tree was good for food,  that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree that could make her wise, she took Satan's bait and ate the forbidden fruit.

Satan is using this same tactic to tempt many today.  He knocks on the door of the lust of the flesh (indulging the five senses I created in an obsessive, addictive way); the lust of the eyes (vain imaginations and greedy longings in the mind), and the lust of the pride of life (trying to know more than I know and trusting in yourself rather than trusting in Me).  Do not take Satan's bait when he tempts you to open the door of one or all of these three lusts.  Overcome him by declaring My Word as I did when he tempted Me in the wilderness.

GENESIS 3:1-7; 1 JOHN 2:15-17
