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.

PROSPECT

Employers are always looking for good prospects who might fill the needed positions that they have available.  I also am looking for good prospects to fill the needed positions in My kingdom on Earth.

You might think that I did not do a very good job when the first prospects I chose were uneducated fishermen and a tax collector.  However, I was able to see their potential.  I knew that once they were filled with My Holy Spirit, they would be able to fulfill the calling I had placed on their lives.

I am presently looking for more prospects to fill the positions in this last great harvest.  Pray for more laborers, and be on the look out for prospects for kingdom work.  I will help you see the potential in the individuals I have chosen.

MATTHEW 9:37-38

FRUSTRATION

Frustration is a form of pride.  You desire to get something done, and nothing is working out, so you become frustrated.  You are stuck in traffic and are going to be late to an appointment, and you become frustrated.  You find out a medical diagnosis that is not good, and you become frustrated because you have no control.

Look at how many times the word "You" appears in the above scenarios.  To avoid frustrating moments, trust every moment of your day to Me.  When you do this, I am in control, not you.
I
Trust Me to go before you moment by moment, and My peace will invade your soul.  Your thoughts will be on Me and My plans for you rather than yourself and your own plans.

PROVERBS 3:5-6

ORIGiN

So many scientists have researched the origin of life.  There are many theories about when life was created on Earth.  This research can easily cease, if these scientists and others who have their theories would just read My Word.

I am life.  There is no life without Me.  When God created the world, He said let there be light even before the sun, moon, and stars were created to provide light for the Earth.  I am the light of the world and I am the life of the world.  I was present when Earth was created and I was present before the foundation of the Earth came into being.

At the end of time, My glory light will fill all the Earth.  Until that time, I have chosen you to be a light shining in the midst of this dark world.  My glory light resides in you today.  Let Me shine through you to everyone you encounter today.

GENESIS 1-2; JOHN 8:12

TRUTH

People who are about to get on the witness stand are usually asked to place one hand on the Bible and to raise the other hand heavenward as they swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help them God.

Many are teaching that there are no absolute truths.  You are also living in a day when there is so much fake news that you simply do not know what to believe.  There is only one absolute truth.

I said that "I am the way, the truth, and the life."  Placing your hand on the Bible and raising one hand heavenward will not guarantee that you will tell the truth.  However, if you open your Bible and meditate on its truths, you will be able to speak the truth in love to all you encounter today.  As you read your Bible, put one hand heavenward as a sign to Me that you yield yourself and your day to Me.

JOHN 14:6

TOTAL

People who are about to get on the witness stand in a courtroom are usually asked to put one hand on the Bible and to raise the other hand heavenward as they swear to tell the truth, nothing but the truth so help them God.

You live in a day when people are teaching that there are no absolute truths.  You are also experiencing fake news, and sometimes you just do not know what to believe. There is only One absolute truth. 

I said that I am the way, the truth, and the life. Placing your hand on the Bible and swearing to tell the truth will not guarantee that you will tell the truth.  However, when you open your Bible and receive the truths in My Word, you will be able to speak the truth in love to everyone you encounter today.  Open your Bible today and mediate on My promises.  Then signify your trust in Me by raising one hand heavenward.

JOHN 14:6

EVALUATION

Corporations usually evaluate  yearly the performance of their corporation and their employees to see if financial and human resource have made progress according to the standards set for the year.  Hopefully, the results will be improved sales, contracts,  revenues, and personnel training.

Many of My beloved spend time evaluating their lives.  Instead of evaluating your own life to see if you think that you have grown in faith and in My Spirit this past year, I want you to spend time evaluating Me.

I am your life.  As you spend time daily in My presence, you will become more like Me.  I want you to always have confidence that you are of infinite value to Me.  You are My glory.  You are My light shining in this dark world.  You are the salt of the Earth that adds flavor and preserves those you encounter in a day's time.  Evaluate how I spent My time on Earth, and then you will have a standard to evaluate your moments during a day's time.

MATTHEW 5:13,16; JOHN 17:22

TOMORROW

I  exhorted My disciples to take  no thought for tomorrow because tomorrow will take thought for the things of itself.  My Father knows exactly what your needs will be tomorrow and every tomorrow.

One of the main strategies of My enemy is to seduce you to play the "What If" and the "When Then" game.  Many scenarios can run through your mind if you take My enemy's invitation to play this game with him.

I want you to take one day at a time.  Of course, you do need to think about the long term plans or weekly plans you may have.  However, hold those plans lightly and release them to Me.  Simply commit your way to Me every morning, and I have promised to order your days according to what I will, not what you will.

MATTHEW 6:31-34; PSALM 37:5
