There are no shortcuts to aid you in becoming a mature believer. James and John wanted a shortcut to a position in heaven with Me. I told them, that they had to drink the same cup that I would drink from and experience the same baptism I would experience.
The cup I spoke of was the cup of suffering that I would soon experience and the baptism I spoke of was the baptism of fire that tested My faith in the garden. The mature believer will have their faith tested many times.
Peter wrote about the trials of our faith that would be tested with fire. No believer likes to think of suffering or trials that are tested by fire, but when I appear, there will be great rewards for those who have remained faithful through every trial.
MARK 10:35-40; 1 PETER 1:7

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.
