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.

AGREEMENT

There is such power in agreement.  I promised that when two or three are gathered in My name and agree as touching anything and ask it of My Father, it shall be done for them of My Father Who is in heaven.

I actually dwell in the midst of every gathering that has the purpose of using the keys to the kingdom that I have given to My body on Earth.  Those keys give you the authority to bind things on earth and when you do this, things will be bound in heaven.

Also whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. The next time you gather for prayer with others, use these keys to the kingdom and you will see supernatural results. Pray with faith.

MATTHEW 18:18-20

COMPLETE

I always complete what I have started.  I have started an awakening in the church in America, and I will complete it. Harvest time is here and is spreading throughout the world even though it seems like darkness could stop it.

No. no, no!! There will be no stopping of what I have begun in your personal life, in the lives of My body on earth.  The work I have begun is a purifying work that will cause you to be tuned to My voice.

Distractions will begin to dissolve and you will be able to hear My voice clearly as I tell you the next thing to do and not only you, but My whole body on Earth.  We will co-labor together and the work will be completed.

COLOSSIANS 2:10

SUFFICIENT

I am the all sufficient One. People are always looking for satisfaction in life in the wrong places.  I long for them to come to Me because I am the only One Who can satisfy their longings.

I am able to make all grace abound to people so that they will have all sufficiency in all things so they may abound to every good work.  My servant Paul shared this truth with those who were called to do My works.

There is no more lasting satisfaction than to know that you have been called to do My works on earth. When you answer that call, I will supply all you need to do those works.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8

ENTRANCE

You can stand outside an entrance to a building all day, but if you do not enter the entrance, you will never know what you are missing. This is the experience that many people have had who only read their Bibles on occasion or even at all.

My servant David wrote: "The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple (Psalm 119:130). So many people to day are walking in great darkness because they have never received My light. 

The only light that will keep people from remaining in darkness is the LIGHT that is found in My Word. I am the LIGHT of the world, and people can only know Me as their light if they refuse to read My Word.

PSALM 119:130

DESERVE

I am a God of mercy and grace.  My mercy was revealed when I bore the wrath of My Father for the sins of mankind on the cross.

I revealed My grace to mankind when I offered salvation on the cross to those who could never deserve or earn it. When I became the perfect sacrifice for sin, I offered to exchange My righteousness that people could never deserve for their unrighteousness.

I am still revealing My mercy and grace to mankind daily.  I paid the penalty for the sins of the world and all those who believe in Me will receive right standing with My Father even though they do not deserve it.

EZRA 9:13

DELIGHT

My servant delighted in my laws, statutes, and all that was written in My Word.  He did not have the new testament, but I was revealed to Him by My Holy Spirit.

Few today are delighting themselves in My Word.  Others study My Word, but they do not delight themselves in My Word.  They forget that My Word is one of the few things that is eternal.  Yes, when you reach heaven, you will still be delighting yourself in My Word.

Pray for families in your nation to once again establish a time of reading My Word together.  Your country and people all over the world have lost their compass, and they are lost. My Word is your compass for life.

PSALM 40:8

DAY

"For a thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night (Psalm90:4)" It seems like everyone is trying to figure out when I will return to earth.

It was a surprise when I was born in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago.  It will be a surprise when I return to earth.  People forget that there is no time or space in heaven.  Try as you may to have prophetic time lines which may reveal the season of My return, but only My Father knows the time of My return.

Instead of trying to figure out the time of My return, just be ready because you do not know the hour. Live each day as it is your last which means allow Me to work through you all that I want to accomplish in your life.

PHILIPPIANS 2:13

FEELING

Celebrating My birth is a time of special joy.  However, there are many who do not have anyone to celebrate with them. Pray for those who are feeling lonely and those who are suffering.

Pray that those who are being persecuted for My sake in many countries.  Pray for those in Israel who have lost family members and who are experiencing the trauma of war.  Pray for a full harvest to come before I return.

Pray that those who are lonely, depressed, persecuted, in prison or in poor health to know that I am with them..  Pray for them to understand that I am their High Priest who can identify with every weakness in their lives. Pray for them to know that I have My arms around them right now.

HEBREWS 4:15

PURIFYING

 I am the only One Who knows the hearts of mankind, and I am the only One Who can help you purify your heart. 

The purification of your heart will occur throughout your lifetime as you draw closer and closer to Me. I am the only One Who is all pure.

As you draw near to Me, you will recognize that those things you used to say or do, you will no longer be able to say or do.  This is the work of My Holy Spirit.  Give your heart to My Spirit daily, and humbly pray that your heart will be made purer each day you live.

ACTS 15:7-9

CONTINUE

It is so important for you and all My beloved to continue in My goodness with a thankful heart.  Your walk of faith depends upon your continual trust in Me.

Faith is only active in the present, so be intentional to believe that I will supply all the faith you need for the moment. Then take another step of faith, and I will meet you in the next moment. 

Continuing daily in My Word is also essential for you to move forward in fulfilling the calling I have on your life. I told the Jews who believed in Me that if they continued in My Word, then they were My disciples indeed, and then they would know the truth and the truth would set them free. 

ROMANS 11:22; JOHN 8:31

GOVERNMENT

So many think of Me as a tiny baby born on that morning in Bethlehem.  However, the prophet Isaiah said that the government would be upon My shoulders.

Your government at this time seems to be in a state of turmoil.  Do not worry or be afraid.  I am the One Who controls all governments.  I promote Kings and demote kings because I am the KING of KINGS.

I am called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Because you accepted Me as your LORD and Savior, I can do wonderful things in your life.  I can counsel you and help give you wisdom.  I can give you My peace and I will always be your everlasting Father.

ISAIAH 9:6

SOUNDS

A multitude of the heavenly host praising God appeared to the shepherds in the field on the night of My birth. Music announced My birth and music will also announce My return to earth.

Right now the whole earth is groaning and travailing as earth awaits My return.  You are living in the time that I called "the beginning of sorrows." 

The sound of the trumpet will announce My return and then the whole earth will make a joyful sound. Then the trees of the wood will sing out at My presence because I will be coming to judge the earth. Look forward to that day, but until that day, make a joyful sound daily as you praise Me.

LUKE 2: 13; ROMANS 8:22; 1 CHRONICLES 16:33;

TIME

There is no time and space in heaven.  There is no night or day either.  There is eternal light in heaven.  Everyday is a sunny day, but the days are bright with the glory light that streams from the Throne Room.

During this busy season,  I want you to take time to sit in the sunshine and think of Me.  Just bring yourself into that quiet place and breathe in My Holy Spirit.

I am always present to help you and to hear your prayers, but I want you to spend quality time in My presence.  I have much to say to you, so be intentional to take a break from all the Christmas rush and soak in My glory light.

REVELATION 22:6

DELIVERED

It was time for My Mother Mary to deliver Me.  Since there was no room in the Inn, Mary had to deliver Me in a dark cave.  She wrapped Me in swaddling clothes and laid Me in a manger. 

The swaddling clothes were used to wrap new born lambs after they were born.  The manger was a feeding place for the animals. 

As you think about My birth, remember that I am the "Lamb of God" who came into a dark world to deliver mankind from their sins.  I am also the bread of LIFE who gives spiritual food to all who believe in Me.  I was delivered on that day to become the deliverer for mankind.

BELLS

When your mother's spirit went to heaven, she saw a man reading a book in front of a big lake. I was the One reading her Book of Life, and I told her it was not her time. The lake was the crystal sea. 

She heard bells as she entered heaven.  The bells of heaven rang to celebrate her entrance. There is no record of bells ringing to celebrate My birth on earth, but the shepherds had bells on their staffs 

As the shepherds were running to announce My birth, their bells rang loudly.  You will hear bells ring loudly in churches and even bell choirs will ring  their bells to celebrate My birth.  When you hear those bells, think about the shepherds and also the bells that one day will welcome you home to heaven.

REVELATION 4:6; LUKE 2:15

EARS

Many times after I gave a teaching, I said, "He who has ears, Let Him hear." I was not speaking about physical ears.  I was speaking about spiritual ears.

You and everyone who is born has two sets of ears.  They have physical ears and spiritual ears. The parable of the sower that I gave is all about how people hear My Word.  The seed was My Word and where the seed fell determined whether or not the seed of My Word would bear fruit.

Pray for Me to send you to those whose hearts I have prepared to hear My Word with spiritual ears. My Word then will bear much fruit.

MATTHEW 13:3-9

SHED

I shed My blood for the remission of the sins of the whole world.  However, never have heard that I was the perfect sacrifice that satisfied My Father's requirements to be reconciled to Him for all eternity.

I not only shed My blood, but I also shed My light and provided for the light of My Spirit to light every man who comes into the world.  I am present at every conception.  Every child born has My light, but many choose to live in darkness because their ways are evil.

Today, I want you to shed abroad this good news.  I was all inclusive in My offer to the world to forgive  and redeem mankind.  All one has to do to be reconciled to My Father is to believe these truths, repent of their sins and receive Me into their hearts.

MATTHEW 26:28; JOHN 1:9

STRENGTH

There are so many things to do during this season.  I know that sometimes you feel like you are running out of strength. I have heard you say many times, "LORD give me strength."

Strength is what I can give you daily.  The Psalmist David had many things to do as both a soldier and a king.  He wrote this: "It is God Who girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect."

Come to Me whenever you are weary and feel like you are running out of strength.  It is My delight to dress you and undergird you with My strength.  Remember to do this during this busy time of the year.

PSALM 18:32

DARKNESS

These are very dark days in the world.  The Jews all over the world are celebrating Hanukkah. They light Hanukkah candles for eight days to celebrate the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BC.

I am the light of the world Who lights every man who comes into the world.  I am present at every conception.  Every person born has My light within them, but so many had chosen to live in darkness because their ways are evil.

David wrote: "For You will light my candle; the LORD My God will enlighten my darkness (Psalm 18:28)." When you are going through dark days, remember this promise.

JOHN 1:9; PSALM 18:28

REST

This is such a busy time of the year, many people are missing their restful times with Me.  Today, My prayer for My beloved is that they will take time every day to enter the rest that I can supply for them.

My rest is both physical and spiritual.  I have promised to give rest to all those Who will come to Me and take My yoke upon them and learn of Me meekness and lowliness of heart. This yoke is the yoke of My Holy Spirit, Who can order your day and establish your thoughts.

The rest I offer is rest for your mind, your will, and your emotions.  I invite you once again to come to Me. Rest from your labor for a few minutes and give Me your burdens.  Rest is My Christmas gift to you.  Receive it every morning.

MATTHEW 11:28-30

DECLARE

There are many reasons that My Father sent Me to earth.  Of course, the main reason was to redeem the world from sin. However, there was another very important reason that I came.

My Father is a Spirit, and no one has seen My father because He is a spirit.  I came to declare My Father to the world.

Until My birth, people felt that God was distant even though many had My Word and the Old Covenant. I came to reveal to everyone on earth the very character of My Father.  I declared Him both in word and in deed.  Now you can declare My Father by sharing the good news of My coming to everyone.

JOHN 1:18

AFTER

The disciples asked Me what would be the sign of My coming and of the end of the world.  I answered them and said, ""And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations, and then shall the end come."

Peter wrote this, "The LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

These scriptures reveal My heart.  I want all to come to repentance.  Not until the gospel of the kingdom is preached in all the world will the end come.  I am not willing for those you are praying for to be saved to perish, so never give up.  Keep praying until they are saved.

MATTHEW 24:3; PETER 3:9

ENTER

 Every morning you have the privilege of entering the gates to heaven with thanksgiving.  When you begin your time with Me with simple thanksgivings, I am so blessed.

My presence comes near to you and I can't wait to hear your prayers.  When you offer all of your requests and supplications with thanksgiving, you are saying to Me that you believe with all your heart that I not only hear you, but I will grant your requests.

The gates of heaven swing wide whenever you have an attitude of gratitude in your heart for Me and My Father.  Start your day with Me tomorrow by thanking Me that My presence is with you.  In My presence is fulness of joy and pleasures forever more.

PSALM 100:4; PHILLIPIANS 4:6-7; PSALM 16:11

EXPECTATION

During this season the expectations of little children and even adults are very high.  They have in mind what they would like to receive on Christmas day.

Often there may be disappointments that follow great expectations.  There is one great expectation that will never disappoint Me.  Paul wrote about this expectation.

"According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death." Paul's expectation is what I desire My beloved always to have. Expect Me to manifest myself through you daily.

PHILIPPIANS 1:20

ABOVE

I am careful not to allow you to be tempted above what you are able to withstand.  Temptation, trials, and tests of your faith will always happen in your life. How you respond to those times is so important to Me.

As long as you are abiding in My Word and committing your days and way to Me, you can be assured that whatever happens in your life is either allowed by Me or appointed by Me.

I know what you will face in the future, and I trust you to respond to future events by trusting completely in Me. You live in a time when everything that can be shaken will be shaken, but never be in fear or dread. I will carry you in My arms through these end times, so be at peace.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:13

ISSUE

Every issue in life flows from your heart.  You have probably heard the expression. "This is a matter of the heart." Every decision you make and every way you choose to go is a matter of your heart.

Your heart matters to Me.  People ask you, "How are you feeling today?"  Feelings are passing moments. The question I ask you daily is, "How is your heart today?" I know you desire to please Me and without faith it is impossible to please Me.  Faith resides in your heart.

If you truly want to please Me daily, allow Me to do heart surgery on you.  Allow Me to heal your heart if it is broken.  Allow Me to purify your heart if it is filled with worldliness.  Allow Me to touch your heart and fill your heart with My love.  

PROVERBS 4:23
