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 -
http://www.voiceofthesword.com/.
I will keep you updated on future speaking enagements and ministry developments.

CONQUER

Many are remembering those who have given their lives to secure your liberty in America.  There have been many wars and much loss of life over the brief history of your country.

I said that there would be wars and rumors of wars in the last days.  Those who believe in Me are fighting a spiritual war to return your nation to righteousness.  

I want to encourage those who are doing spiritual warfare to conquer My adversary, who seeks to kill, steal, and destroy.  Remember what My warrior Paul wrote. He wrote that you are more than a conqueror through Me, the One Who loves you and always causes you to triumph.

MATTHEW 24:6; ROMANS 8:37; 2 CORINTHIANS 2:14

RESCUE

When you look at My life while I walked on Earth, you can see that I was on a rescue mission.  I came to Earth to rescue people from the grips of My adversary.

I have given you the same rescue mission.  There are so many people who need rescuing.  You can do much through intercessory prayer.  The prophet Isaiah gave your assignment to rescue many through fasting and prayer.

Isaiah wrote: "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?  Ask My Holy Spirit to help you pray effective prayers to carry out My rescue mission as you pray for others.

ISAIAH 58:6

GLOVES

During the pandemic that hit the world, many wore gloves to protect themselves from the virus. Gloves, however, will hinder the mobility of your fingers.

David said that I taught his hands to war.  David did not wear gloves when he threw the five stones that killed the Philistine giant.  It is hard to fight when you are wearing gloves with the exception of boxers who use padded gloves to keep their fists from being injured and to assist them in a knock out punch.

I want My church to take their gloves off and go to war against My adversary.  The church has been lukewarm too long, and now they are reaping the consequences of their lack of engaging their enemy, the devil.  The rules of engagement are found in My Word, "Whatsoever you bind on Earth is bound in heaven and whatsoever you loose on Earth is loosed in heaven." Ask Me to teach you to war, and use the kingdom keys I have given you.

MATTHEW 16:19

HOVER

When I walked on Earth, I sent My Word to heal people who were a good distance from where I was.  The moment I spoke that Word, it accomplished what I spoke.  My Word is living and it is powerful.  It always accomplishes what I send it out to do.

The word, "hover," in your English language describes how My Word can hover in the atmosphere over the person who you send My Word to.

As you pray for individuals who need healing, deliverance, or salvation, send one of My promises for healing, deliverance or salvation to hover over that person.  That Word will remain until it is performed in that person.

HEBREWS 4:12; ISAIAH 55:11

RENDER

When I was asked if it was lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not, I asked to see the tribute money.  I asked them whose image was on the coin.  They replied Caesar's.  I then told them to "Render  therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's."

The word, "render," means to give to, submit, deliver, or present to someone.  When I told them to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's, they did not realize that everything on earth is Mine.

Through Me and by Me was everything created that was created and all things belong to Me.  I am the owner of all things.  I have called you to steward what belongs to Me.  You also are mine and all mine is yours since you are a joint heir with Me.  You are My treasure, and you are much more precious than any thing of monetary value.  When you daily render yourself to Me to be used for My glory, I am pleased.

MATTHEW 22:16-21

AVENUE

There are many avenues that can be traveled in life.  One can travel the avenue to gain more revenue.  Another can travel the avenue to fulfill pleasure.  Some travel the avenue to productivity.  

When I walked on Earth, the only avenue I traveled was the avenue that fulfilled My Father's will.  This is the avenue I pray that you and every believer will take.  It is the only avenue that will never lead to a dead end.

I want to travel with you on the Avenue called, "EVERLASTING."  Abraham called My Father the "Everlasting God."  I am your everlasting friend who loves to walk with you daily on the Avenue that will lead you to My Eternal home.

GENESIS 21:33

PENTECOST

 Shortly after I had been tempted by the devil for 40 days and nights, I  was in the synagogue in Nazareth and read from the book of Isaiah which said, The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the LORD.

After I read these words, I closed the book and said, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." On the day of Pentecost when the one hundred and twenty of My followers were together, the Holy Spirit delivered the promise of My Father and they all were empowered by My Spirit to be My witnesses.

That day My followers received much more than the ability to speak in tongues. They received the same anointing of My Spirit that I had. Pray for many in My body to receive My Spirit in  power so that they can be effective witnesses in this last great harvest.

LUKE 4:16-21

IMPOSSIBLE

I had left the Galilee, and came to coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan when a rich man came to Me and asked what good thing should he do to have eternal life?  I responded by reviewing the ten commandments to him.  He said he had kept them all since his youth.

Then I told him to go and sell everything he had and then give it to the poor.  He went away sorrowful because he was not willing to do this.  I then said to all gathered that day, "It is easier  for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

When the disciples heard this, they asked Me, "Who then can be saved?" I responded, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."   All things are possible with God.  I want you to meditate on these words and pray for those you know who are not saved.  Ask Me to draw them to My Father.  You will see many come to Me in this last great harvest of souls.

MATTHEW 19:20-26

RESUME

When a crisis is over, people usually are relieved, and they try to resume normal activities.  There is something comforting about resuming routines. 

When I walked on Earth, my major goal was to do the will of My Father.  I had no routine.  I just tried to hear My Father's voice as He led Me moment by moment.  

If your goal is to daily to do My Father's will, surrender your day to Me and allow My Spirit within you to gently lead you throughout the day. Sometimes you may be led to break your normal routine to fulfill the will of My Father.  Do not see interruptions in your routine as a disruption.  Instead, see interruptions as divine appointments. Pray daily that you will not miss any divine appointments.

JOHN 14:16

BENEFIT

Before you get involved with any kind endeavor, you usually want to know how it will benefit you.  I want to share with you the benefits you will receive when you enter My kingdom.  

The kingdom of God is not meat or drink. It is righteousness, peace, and joy in My Spirit. Because of the recent worldwide pandemic and the darkness that has settled in your nation and other nations, many are hungering for peace and joy. 

I said that unless you become as a little child, you will not enter My kingdom.  The word I used means infant.  An infant is totally dependent upon others to feed, clothe, and meet their every need.  Pray for those who are spreading the gospel of My kingdom and for many that hear to see their need for Me.  Only I can fill their hunger.

ROMANS 14:17

ATTEMPT

It is fruitless for you to attempt to fight temptation without My help and the help of My Holy Spirit.  I revealed how you are to fight temptation when I was tempted forty days and nights by the devil.  The moment I was tempted, I spoke the words from the Torah out loud against Satan.

Your only offensive weapons against My enemy are My Word, taking your thoughts captive by giving them to Me, and prayer.  

I have already won the victory over Satan, but it is up to you to enforce that victory by employing the spiritual weapons I have given you.  I have given you all authority over Satan in My name.  Give every battle with temptation to Me and then use your spiritual weapons against Satan and you will win.

LUKE 4; COLOSSIANS 2:15

CHALLENGE

You are living in challenging times in your nation.  However, if  you look at the history of your nation you will see that every decade had its challenges.  I faced many challenges when I walked on Earth.

My first huge challenge came when I was tempted in the wilderness by Satan.  Some people think that since I was God in the flesh and had no sin that I was not tempted to sin.  Every temptation Satan presented Me was a huge challenge because I was tempted in all points just as you are. 

However, I overcame each challenge by speaking the words from the Torah against Satan. You can face the challenge of temptation the same way I did.  Speak My Word out loud the moment you are tempted and you will not give in to the temptation.

HEBREWS 4:15

JOIN

There were no clubs to join when I walked on Earth.  There were groups of scribes and Pharisees, but I certainly did not want to join them.  The pandemic that forced people to stay away from large gatherings has born some fruit.

People were forced to stay home and many of My beloved began to meet in homes to pray. When you gather with like-minded people who love Me, you are encouraged and strengthened.  

The reason I chose twelve men to be My disciples was because I knew meeting together with them daily would also encourage and strengthen Me.  Of course, none of them were perfect by any means, but the love and friendship we shared inspired Me to keep going.  May that be the case in America where small groups are still meeting for prayer.  May this continue and never stop.

MATTHEW 18:20

PROVISION

I am Jehovah Jireh your provider.  I can supply every need you have.  Right now I know that many of my beloved need to have hope.  The darkness in the world is so overwhelming in this world that some seem to have lost all hope.

The good news is that I do My best work in darkness.  When darkness was on Earth, I was the light Who created everything that has ever been created.  My light has the power to penetrate and expose every dark scheme of My enemy,

Have hope today.  That is My provision for you.  Base your hope on this promise: Luke 12:2: "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Rejoice in this hope because all the dark evil will be exposed.

LUKE 12:2

WAR

When My disciples asked Me what would be the sign of My coming and the end of the world. I told them that they would hear of wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in many places.  I said these things must come to pass, but the end would not be yet.

I told them that the time would come when they would be persecuted  and that the love of many would wax cold.

Many are believing that I will return soon because of what they are seeing in the world right now. However, I will not return until this gospel of the kingdom is preached to every nation.  You truly are entering a great harvest time now.  Submit yourself to be used as a laborer in this harvest.

MATTHEW 24:14

WITHHOLD

Adam and Eve fell for Satan's lie that God was withholding something from them that was good.  Some people today have the idea that My Father withholds blessings from them and even causes sickness and disease.

One has only to look at My life on earth to discover the truth.  I spent My life healing all those who came to Me.  I set people free from the oppression of the devil.  I taught that My Father so loved the world that He sent Me not to condemn the world, but that the world through Me might be saved.

I will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly with me. You live in a world that is filled with darkness because many people have never received the righteousness I offered so freely when I shed My blood on the tree to forgive sin.  Pray for those who have chosen to not receive My offer.

JOHN 3:16; PSALM 84:11

GATES

When I walked on Earth, the city gates were where the governing of the city took place.  It was a place where those in authority over the city sat and judged the people and legal matters were settled.  The gates were the key place of the city.

I have set you as a watchman over the gates of your city.  Ask My Holy Spirit to give you the prayers that need to be prayed over your city, and be aware of the decisions of the leaders of your city.

I have chosen certain cities to become cities set on a hill where My power and the light of My glory will be revealed.  Pray that your city will have great revival during this last great harvest.  Ask My Spirit to put you in the right place at the right time so that the anointing I give you will break yokes of bondages in your city.

MATTHEW 16:18

HURRY

I want you to not be in a hurry.  I know you want to be doing kingdom work, and there is plenty for you to do, especially in this hour of  history.  As you and many others are on the cusp of a great outpouring of My Spirit on all flesh, there is much to do.

I told My disciples that I had to work the works of Him Who sent Me, while it was day: the night comes when no man can work." You are seeing the darkness of My enemy trying to envelop many souls, but I have called you to be light and salt in the Earth.

Being salt and light in the Earth does not take work.  It takes spending time with Me, listening to My instructions, waiting upon Me instead of hurrying to get involved with work that I have never called you to do.  Wait on Me, and I will give you the will and the power to do what I have called you to do.

JOHN 9:4; PHILIPPIANS 2:13

RESOLUTE

When you looked up this word I gave you today, you discovered that resolute means having or showing a fixed, firmed purpose. It also means to be unwavering.

During these dark times, I want you and all My body on Earth to be resolute and unwavering.  Your purpose in these last days is to show forth My glory as you go about your daily routines.  This will only happen as you spend time with Me every morning.

Your desire to be used as a sharpened instrument to destroy the works of the devil through intercession and through using your authority is to be commended.  However, the one thing needed before this will happen in your life is for you to sit at My feet and learn of Me just as My precious Mary did when I walked on Earth.

LUKE 10:39-42

EXCEEDING

 I want to encourage you today with this promise, "I am able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that works in you" 

The power that works within you is My Holy Spirit.  The same Spirit that raised Me from the dead dwells within your mortal body.  I want you to meditate on this truth today.

I know that sometimes you feel powerless to change what is going on in your nation at this time in history.  Those who are in highest government positions in your nation are making unwise, and ungodly decisions.  As you pray for your nation to repent and return to righteousness, remember the promise I gave you.  I will do exceedingly, abundantly above what you have asked Me to do.

EPHESIANS 3:20; ROMANS 8:11

SEARCH

You live in a day when technology has advanced to the point that knowledge of most anything is at your finger tips.  There are search engines on your computer that enable you to find people, products, ideas, and information on how to do things. The availability of knowledge is unending.

There is only one thing worth searching for today, and many do not even know what they are searching for. I have promised that those who search for Me with all their heart will find Me.  Pray for those who do not even know how to begin their search.

I want to use My body on Earth as search engines who can bring the good news of My Kingdom to many.  You are anointed to help people discover how great My love is towards them.  Pray daily that My Spirit will tune you to My voice so that you can deliver My gospel to people who will be inspired to begin to search for Me.

JEREMIAH 29:13

TREMBLE

When My Father's voice thundered from the mountain,  the children of Israel trembled and were so afraid. They asked for only Moses to be the one to speak to them from that day forward. 

I heard My Father's voice audibly on several occasions when I walked on Earth.  One time was when I was baptized by John. Another time was on the mountain when I was transfigured. When Peter, James, and John heard My Father's voice that day, they fell on their faces and were afraid.

When I walked on Earth, I was like you, even though I was Divine.  The voice I heard daily was within Me.  That voice was the Holy Spirit.  Most of the time that voice within was a gentle impression that I heard.  I want you to train yourself to listen carefully to that voice within you.  My Holy Spirit speaks to your spiritual ears, so make it your goal to be tuned into Him daily.

MATTHEW 17:2-3 

Saturday, May 1, 2021

LAUGH

My disciples and I had many laughs together.  Solomon wrote that laughter is good medicine.  I exhorted those who experience tribulation to be of good cheer.

You are discovering how dark this world truly is as you enter these last days.  Sometimes you ask yourself, "What is there to laugh about any more?"

There are many things that you can laugh about.  You can laugh about the joy I have given you because you are forgiven and redeemed from your sins (past, present, and future)  You can be of good cheer because I have overcome the world.  The one angel that I want you to laugh at is the devil who is a fallen angel.  You can laugh because his plans for humanity will never succeed.
