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.

TRIED AND TRUE

"Tried and True" is an expression people use to describe someone who is faithful. This is a worldly phrase, but it has application to My Kingdom. My saints that are faithful to Me are "Tried and True." I have tested them and the truth within them has sustained them through every trial. My Word is truth.

When someone is "Tried and True." They are able to withstand Satan and stand faithful to the end. Endurence, longsuffering, preserverence and, of course, faithfulness are embroidered on their character. The adversities of this life will not affect those who stand faithful to Me. As you read the stories of the saints in the Bible, you will see that they experienced continual trials. I also said, "In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer because I have overcome the world."

When you go through trials, recognize that every trial will perfect your character and cause you to shine with My glory. Others will notice your faithfulness, and I will be glorified. Remember today this good word from My word, "Faithful is He Who calls Who also will do it" (Thessalonians 5:24). I am the faithful One Who works faithfully to perfect faithfulness in you.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:24; JOHN 16:33

HELP

I know there are days that you call "Help Me Jesus Days." Those are the days when so much is going on in your life that you just do not know which way to turn or where to start. On those days I look forward to helping you. So many of My saints do not cry out for help when they are in need. They try to do everything in their own strength, and by the end of the day they are exhausted.

I have provided all that you need to help you have fruitful days. My Holy Spirit is the "Helper." He is the One Who will lead and guide you throughout the day. Never hesitate to cry out for help. I also am "Captain of the Heavenly Hosts." The moment you cry out for help, I assign angels to come to your aid. The more you depend upon Me to help you, the more you will get done in a day's time.

Commit your works to Me, and My Spirit will order your thoughts and prioritize your day. There is much kingdom work I have for you to do, and as you depend upon Me, you will accomplish every work I designed for you.

DRESS REHERSAL

You are now in the dress rehersal stage of your life. Life is a rehersal for the big show - eternity with Me. While you are on Earth there are endless practice performances. However, you are not the preformer. I am the One who performs My works through you. I am the main character in the stage of life and the stage of the age to come.

You have an audience that watches carefully what you do on stage, just as they watched Me while I was on Earth for a little over three years. I came to Earth to reveal Who My Father is and now you are on stage to reveal the love of My Father and His will to many. There is no way you can perfectly copy My performance while I was on Earth, but I do want you to follow My example. It is My desire that you walk and talk like Me. I call you to walk even as I walked. This is only possible as you yield your unruly flesh to Me.

There is another way that you can cooperate with My Holy Spirit as He leads and guides you on the stage of life. Just as an actor or an actress has to learn their lines, you need to memorize My Word. My Word through you can give eternal life to others. Learn your lines today and spend time in My Word.

SEASONS

To everything there is a season. There are seasons of life and seasons of weather and of time. I desire for you to praise me in all seasons. I know how you dislike the summer season because of the heat, but you can praise me for many things in this season. Every night there is a symphony of praise that you can join in as the crickets, frogs, June bugs, and katydids make their joyful sounds. I am a man of all seasons. You can find me in every season and you can also praise Me as you experience every season. I made the different seasons for your benefit.

I said, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority." However, you can know the season that I will return to Earth. My Holy Spirit is able to reveal this to you.

It is vital that you know right now that this is harvest season. It is your season to give a word in season to those who do not yet know Me. Time is winding down. Work while it is still day because the time is coming when you can do no work. In the mean time, enjoy every season and praise Me for it!!

GREATNESS

Greatness in My Kingdom is not determined by wealth or power. Greatness in My Kingdom is determined by My Spirit. My Spirit is able to look into the hearts of men to see their motivations, their desires, and their imaginations. My Father sent the flood because He knew that the hearts of men were desperately wicked and full of vain imaginations.

I was sent to cleanse the hearts of men and I love to do this. I am able to uproot in the hearts of men all that is not pleasing to My Father. After I uproot bitterness, unforgiveness, idolatry and many other selfish roots, I cleanse and heal the heart.

Turn your heart over to Me daily and you will have a great heart filled with My glory. The greatest person in My Kingdom is the one who allows My Spirit to daily anoint and fill his or her heart with My love. No matter what your circumstances are, you are called to love always. My Spirit can give you the power to do this. Surrender your heart to Me today and you will have a great day.

WELFARE

People are concerned about their welfare. Those who are having difficulty financially sometimes have to depend upon the welfare program in their various countries to help them. However, I have a welfare program that is eternal and unfailing. There are only four things that are necessary to receive the benefits of My welfare program. Those four things have to do with priority, position, promise, and prayer.

PRIORITY - To receive the benefits of My welfare program your most important priority is to seek first My Kingdom and My righteousness. I promised to meet all of your basic needs for food and clothing if you will seek Me first daily in prayer.

POSITION - You must recognize your position with Me. I purchased with My shed blood your position in heaven where you have all authority over all the powers of the devil in My Name. Use that authority to bind demonic forces that come against you and loose My ministering angels to help you. Remember Satan will try to block you from receiving the benefits of My Kingdom.

PROMISE - I never want you to beg anyone for anything. Instead, I have commisioned you to ask My Father to give you your daily bread. Remember My promise to the righteous - "I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor their seed begging for bread." Believe this promise and ask in faith for your needs to be met.

PRAYER - When you stand praying, forgive. Make sure there is no resentment, bitterness, or unforgiveness towards anyone. Father cannot give you your daily bread if you are in a state of unforgiveness. Remember how I taught the disciples to pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."

MATTHEW 6:9-14, 33-34; 16:19; PSALM 37:25

GOOD NEWS

The day will come when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that I am Lord. This is harvest time. Tell people that they have two choices - to bow to Me now or to bow later.

Encourage those who do not believe in Me now to come to Me before it is too late. You are living in a crucial period of time in history. Much is happening to draw things toward My soon coming. Cherish every moment and use every moment to share My good news with others. Pray much in the Spirit for the lost and I will open doors for you to share My good news with many.

ISAIAH 45:23; ROMANS 14:11-12
