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.

BREATH

People often take breathing moment by moment for granted.  When I created man with My Father, the Holy Spirit breathed into Adam and he became a living soul.  The Holy Spirit is the breath of My Father. 

When you received Me as your Lord and Savior, My Spirit breathed new life into you.  The life that was breathed into you was My very Spirit.

Just after I was resurrected, I took My disciples aside and I breathed My Spirit into each of them. When you take your next breath, recognize that the same Spirit that raised Me from the dead now dwells within you. Always remember that your life is now My life within you.  You have been crucified with Me, nevertheless you live, but not you, but I now live in you, and the life that you now live in the flesh, you live by My faith within you.  I made this possible because I love you and gave Myself for you.

JOHN 20:21-22; ROMANS 8:11; GALATIANS 2:20

RE-INFORCE

When a physical battle becomes intense, the soldiers who are involved in heavy battle call for more soldiers to re-inforce them in the battle.  Like it or not, you are in a daily spiritual battle,  I want to assure you today that you are not alone in this battle.

I am the Captain of a great heavenly host of angels who stand ready to help you the moment you call upon My name or declare My Word.  My angels hearken to help you when you give My Word voice.
Also I have saints who stand ready to intercede for you when spiritual battles come your way.

Do not try to win spiritual battles in your flesh.  Immediately when you are faced with a battle (a trial or a temptation) speak My name and declare My Word.  I will go to battle for you instantly.  Release every concern to Me, and I will be able to perfect those concerns.  Then do not worry and fret.  Instead, thank Me for doing battle for you and remain in thanksgiving and praise to Me.  Remember always that the battle is mine and the victory is yours.

PSALM 103:20, 138:8

ALLOWANCE

When you were young, your parents gave you a weekly allowance to spend for what you wanted to do or purchase.  The amount of your allowance increased as you increased in age.  You always had in mind what you wanted to do with your allowance.

I give you daily allowances, not weekly allowances.  The allowances I give you are not monetary.  These allowances are delivered to you when you receive and believe My promises.  You can partake of My very divine nature when you by faith receive, believe, and claim My promises.

My joy, peace, love and all the fruits of My Spirit are the allowances you receive daily when you abide in Me and partake of My nature through the promises I have given you.  Today and everyday, meditate on some of My promises and you will receive a daily allowance that will give you a fruitful day.

2 PETER 1:4

PRECEPTS

My Word is written precept upon precept, line upon line.  My Holy Spirit will help you as you read through My Word this year.  Some people never even begin a daily Bible reading program because they feel they just do not have the time.  The question I would like to ask them is, "Do you take time to eat?"

Most people eat three meals a day.  Let Me suggest to you a Bible reading program that will be easy for you to complete one day at a time.  In the morning when you have your time with Me, read the Proverb for the day.  During your coffee break, read the New Testament reading for the day. Either at dinner or lunch, read the Old Testament reading, and then read a Psalm at night before you go to bed.

I know you use the "One Year Bible" that has great divisions of My Word.  When you feed on My Word while you feed yourself, your digestion will be better, and you will also be able to digest My Word one bite at a time - precept upon precept, line upon line.

ISAIAH 28:10

SEE

Blessed are those who believe in Me even though they have never seen Me.  Although you will not see My flesh, resurrected form until you die, you can see Me in the Spirit.  My beloved David, the Psalmist, wrote that My face was ever before Him.

I have given you a divine imagination to help you worship Me in Spirit and in truth.  This year allow My Spirit to give you faith visions of Me.  Faith is the substance hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.  My Spirit can give you a faith vision of My face.

Truly My face is ever before you.  My Word gives the exhortation many times to seek My face.  As you seek My face in the coming year,  you will discover as David did that My face is ever before you.  I never turn My back on you.  I am always before you with outstretched arms to catch you if you begin to fall.

JOHN 20:29; HEBREWS 11:1; PSALM 24:6, 27:8,41:12

CONSTANT

Nothing in your life on Earth is constant.  Earth is spinning around the sun every day.  Time changes as the seconds go by. The cells in your body change daily and every seven years, your body cells are changed.  I know how you would like for there to be something in your life that you could count on not changing, and there is.

I never change.  I am the changeless God, and you can count on Me to be the same today, yesterday, and forever.  This should give you great comfort.  I am your Rock that you can hide in when the enemy comes against you.  I am your high tower that you can run to when circumstances are trying to weigh you down.  I am your pavilion that protects you from strife-filled tongues. 

There is one thing that does change daily as I minister to you.  My mercy is new every morning.
Receive the new mercies I have for you every morning in this new year.  The comfort of My mercies will help you live victoriously every day this year.

HEBREWS 13:8; PSALM 92:2, 31:20, 61:3; 62:2

TIME

I did create time when I made the moon to shine at night and the stars to shine during the day, but I am not limited by time.  You have a choice daily to allow time to bind you or to allow Me to work through you moment by moment.

Faith always operates in the present time.  This is why My enemy attempts to get you to fear the future or regret the past.  If he is successful in his efforts, I will not be able to fully work through you what is pleasing to My Father.  Faith is what pleases My Father.

As this new year begins, commit your works daily to Me and commit your way to Me.  Constantly depend upon My Holy Spirit to lead you in the moment.  Ask Him to tell you what to do next, and My Spirit will prioritize your day.  When I walked on Earth, I did only those things that I saw My Father do and I only said those things that My Father gave Me to say in the moment.  I was totally led by the Holy Spirit.  Choose this year to be led by My Spirit and move out in faith in the moment.

JOHN 5:19
