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.

IMMUNE

My desire for you is that you build up your physical and spiritual immune system.  You are diligent to build up your physical immune system, but I want you to be just as diligent to build up your spiritual immune system.  My Word tells you how to do this.

As you abide in Me daily, My joy will fill you and you will be strengthened.  As you abide in My Word daily, My Word will feed you the nourishing food that will build up your spiritual immune system. As you abide in My love and are careful to daily ask My Holy Spirit to fill your heart with My love so that you can love others as I love them, you will not have strife or stress in your life.  Stress and strife are the robbers Satan sends to destroy your spiritual immune system.  Those robbers will rob you of My peace and you will be frustrated, anxious, fearful, and resentful.

You will have total immunity against all the attempts of My enemy to invade and rob you of spiritual health when you are faithful to absorb My love, My joy, and My peace.

JOHN 15

HEALING

One of the works of My enemy is sickness.  I spent a good part of My life on earth healing those who were sick and oppressed of the devil.  Sickness entered the earth when Adam and Eve sinned.  I came to redeem you from the oppression of the devil and every sickness and disease.  I purchased healing for all those who will believe when I bore 40 stripes on My back.  Peter said that I bare your sins in My body on the tree to enable you to be dead to sin and to live to righteousness.  I purchased your right to live and not die by the stripes I bore on My back.  By My stripes you are healed.

Some question whether or not it is My will to heal.  I gave My own life's blood to purchase your healing.  I taught you to pray, "Thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
There is no sickness in heaven.  When you pray for your healing, you can be confident that you are praying according to My will and that I not only hear your prayers, but that I also answer your prayer for healing.

1 PETER 2:24; MATTHEW 6:10, I JOHN 5:14-15

STORMS

Some believe that I have no control over the weather.  I do have control over the weather.  Then you may ask, "Why do you permit storms of destruction to hit places all over the world?"  You forget that Satan is the prince and power of the air.  His demonic realm dwells just above the sky that you see.
He is the destroyer.  I am not.  The lease of earth was given over to Satan when Adam and Eve sinned, and this is why you have sickness and disease, storms, wars, and every evil thing.

I came to earth to destroy the works of the devil, and I paved the way for you also to destroy the works of the devil in My name when I shed My blood on the cross to provide the perfect sacrifice for My Father.  I have given you all the power over all the power of the devil, but that power will not be displayed unless you give My Word voice on earth.  Angels hearken to the voice of My Word. 

Remember how I calmed the storm with just this word, "Peace be still."  When there are weather storms, emotional storms, financial storms, and relationship storms in your life, say out loud, "Peace be still in the name of Jesus."  You have the right to put a shield around your nation, your neighborhood, and your city for its protection.  Pray Psalm 91 over the territory I have given you, and you will see My protective power displayed.

JOHN 10:10; MARK 17-18; PSALM 103:20

ADVICE

I would love to transmit My advice and counsel to all of My beloved.  However, so many of My beloved fail to ask Me for wisdom and counsel.  I have provided My anointing of wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and the fear of the Lord to all those who believe in Me.  However, few believers ask for a fresh anointing of My Holy Spirit daily.

Throughout this day, always boldly ask Me for wisdom and receive My anointing that will empower you to make decisions that are according to My will.  Seek counsel from My Word and be willing to carefully listen to the still quiet voice of My Holy Spirit to convey My wisdom and knowledge to you.

Walking in the Spirit is not hard.  I just want you to ask My Spirit to help you do the next thing.  Commit all of the works that you have planned for this day to Me, and My Spirit will direct and order your thoughts.

ROOTS

Many on earth keep looking for their roots.  People study their genealogies to discover relatives from past generations.  Adopted children search for their natural parents to trace their roots. There are roots in My line that will enable you to discover how carefully My Father ordained for Me to be born on earth from My special and chosen parents.  My mother Mary was chosen to carry Me in her womb after the Holy Spirit impregnated her.  She was from the house of David.  Joseph was chosen to be a father to Me while I was on earth.  My heavenly Father saw to it that Joseph was also from the house of David.

Roots are important, but the roots I want you to discover are the roots of My love.  I want you to be rooted and grounded in My love.

The highest root of My love is My grace that continually pours upon you from My throne room of grace. 

The deepest root of My love is My forgiveness.  I can shine My light to reach deep into the recesses of your being to forgive and cleanse the dark areas of your life.

The widest root of My love is My truth. I am all truth, and knowing Me will set you free to live your life free from deception.

The longest root of My love is My mercy. My mercy is extended to all generations.

Pray today for My Holy Spirit to root and ground you in My love.

EPHESIANS 3:16-19

REFERENCES

When people look for a new job, they usually are required to give references.  Those references are expected to describe the character traits and the reliability of the person applying for the job. 

I need no references.  As you get to know Me better each day, you will discover how faithful and reliable I am.  You will get to know My character and that I am  the One Who you can trust to accomplish the job I have created you to fulfill on earth.

Today as you read My Word, meditate on all the references to My character that are listed.  I gave a character sketch of Myself when I revealed My glory to Moses.  I said that I was faithful, merciful, forgiving, gracious, patient, and full of truth.  You will see these character traits listed again when Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit.  When you stay filled with My Spirit day by day, I will be able to demonstrate My character traits through you.

VIEW

When you set your affections on the things that are above instead of the things on the earth, you will  be able to view things with an eternal perspective.  You will not become frustrated or irritated over those situations and circumstances that are not pleasant.  There may be a relationship with an employee or an employer that is difficult.  There may be a family member who you find hard to love at times.

Relationships, situations, and circumstances will change continually in your lifetime.  I am an unchanging God Who is eternally good, merciful, and true.  Center your thoughts on My eternal love for you that never changes when you encounter trials.  It might be helpful for you to ask yourself this question when you experience difficulties:  "What difference will this make 10,000 years from now?"
When you have an eternal view of life, your life on earth will not be so filled with strife or stress
