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.

PLEASURE

So many on Earth seek their own pleasure. They seek honor and worldly glory. They press forward for the goal of success in the eyes of others. Their motivation in their journey through life is to attain success and to aquire possessions.

The motivation of those who seek My kingdom and My righteousness first in their lives is to give honor and glory to Me. Today I have given you another opportunity to press forward to the goal, the high calling I have given you. Your call is not to acquire eartly possesions. I have called you to lay up for yourself treasures in heaven. I call you not to attain earthly success, but to do My will.

Offer your body to Me today as a living sacrifice and I will work through you both to will and to do of My good pleasure. It is My good pleasure to give you My kingdom. What more could you want?

MATTHEW 6:33; PHILIPPIANS 2:13, 3:13-14; LUKE 12:32

LIMITING

Never limit Me in your thinking. I cannot be limited. There is no time or space with Me. I have no boundaries. I measured heaven with the span of My hand. I can cup all the waters on Earth in My hands. I am challenging you to think big because I am a big God. By Me, through Me and for Me was everything created that was created. I am before all things, and in Me all things consist.

Stretch your faith beyond the limits of your natural thinking. My love is extravagant and I love to lavish you with blessings upon blessings. Meditate on My greatness today and this will help you to believe with all of your heart that I truly can take care of all of your needs. Release every care to Me today.

ISAIAH 40:10-12; COLOSSIANS 1:16-17

TRUTH

I am the truth. Pilate asked Me the question, "What is truth?" I did not respond to this question, but earlier I told him that I was born and came into the world to bear witness to the truth. I said, "Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice" (John 18:37).

When you received Me into your heart, the Holy Spirit of Truth began to teach and lead you into all truth. Every day when you read My Word, you will discover new truths about Me when you ask the Holy Spirit to be your teacher.

I am absolute truth. Those who seek to know the truth with a sincere heart will come to the conclusion that I am Messiah, God in the flesh, Who came to reveal the truth about My Father in heaven to the world.

So many live in deception and the plan of Satan is to keep people deluded and deceived. Speak boldly about Me to others and pray that My Spirit of Truth will open their ears so that they can hear My voice. Those who receive Me will be able to continue to hear My voice.

JOHN 18:37-38; 14:16-17

DELIGHT

Keep delighting yourself in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart. When you delight yourself in Me, I am then able to plant My desires in your heart. Not only am I able to plant those desires, but I am also able to provide everything needed for My desires to be fulfilled through you.

I have a plan for you. That plan is written in your Book of Life. As you delight yourself in Me, I begin to unfold the pages of that book to you. The key to your accomplishing every work I have planned for you is to keep delighting yourself in Me. Stay in praise and thanksgiving to Me. The highest form of worship is to do My Father's will. I did My Father's will when I walked on Earth and now I can enable you to do My Father's will by the power of My Spirit. You will accomplish His will for you when you seek Me first and enjoy My presence.

GOOD MORNING

Meeting with Me morning after morning brings Me great joy. So many of My saints do not even take the time to say "Good Morning" to Me. I long to fellowship with My beloved, but it seems many are just too busy.

My heart is for those who know Me to draw close to Me. I do not condemn those who do not take the time, but it does make Me sad. How I long to help them throughout the day. This is why I sent the helper on Earth.

Many of the problems you face daily could be avoided if you will cry out for wisdom. I am made unto you wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. I can give wisdom to help you even with the smallest issues you face during each day. I can help you walk in righteousness if you will call out to Me when you are tempted. I can cleanse you of all unrighteousness if you will confess your sins to Me. I can redeem the mistakes you make. Draw close to Me today.

TIME

I am doing a short work in these last days. Observe what is happening in Israel. Israel is My time clock. Take each day I give you as a gift of time. Open that gift and use that time to share My love and good news with others, to enjoy My presence, and to do My will. My will for you is to always remain in thanksgiving and to shine with My glory.

You possess a great treasure within you - My very presence that dwells within you through My Spirit. I am the light of the world and you are My light bearer. You are called to beam the light within you every minute of every day. The only thing that blocks that light is your own flesh. Offer yourself as a living sacrifice to Me daily, and I will deal with your flesh. Keep shining, keep working in My vineyard because the day is coming when you will be able to work no more.

WORKS AND WAYS

The children of Israel saw My works, but only Moses knew My ways. I exhorted those who questioned Me while I walked on Earth to at least believe the works I did if they could not believe Who I said I was. My accusers saw the works I did and I asked them, "For which of those works do you stone Me?"

Every day you have the opportunity to behold My works. Today, take time to just look at the intricacies in nature. By Me, through Me, and for Me were all things in the earthly realm created. However, even the beauty of nature does not reveal My character. I want to unveil My character to you daily so that you will never doubt My love for you. This unveiling, however, cannot take place unless you spend time in My Word. My Word has layers of revelation that will unfold before your eyes if you will ask My Spirit to give you understanding as you read My Word.

Take time today to discover the realms of glory that are found in Me. When you do this, you will begin to truly know My ways and you will never want to miss those quiet times that you set apart to read My Word, pray, and hear My voice.

JOHN 10:37-38: COLOSSIANS 1:16
