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.

ALL

 As you read my word, you will see the word, "all" many times.  I am not only your everything, but I am also your all in all.

Paul wrote, "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8)."

Whenever you have doubts about whether or not you are doing all you can to do the work I have assigned you while you are on earth, I want you to remember this passage.  I am able to make all grace abound to you so that you will be equipped to complete all the good works I have given you.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8

CONVERSATION

The psalmist David wrote: "Whoever offers praise glorifies Me: and to him who orders his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God (Psalm 50:23)."

The word, "conversation," in this passage can mean what you say and how you live.  What you say reveals what is in your heart.  How you live displays My character.

Pray each day that you will glorify Me in both word and deed.  When you fill your day with praises to Me, you will always glorify Me.

PSALM 50:23

FIGHT

Paul instructed Timothy to "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal live, where you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:12).

Truly the faith to believe in Me is a gift of grace.  However, My enemy who is a thief will constantly try to get you to doubt.  To fight those times when you feel like your faith is not strong because My enemy has sent you condemning thoughts, take those thoughts captive and give those lies to Me.

When you were born again by My Spirit, you also joined the army of My saints.  Your enemy is the devil with his host of demons.  Resist thoughts of doubt, by saying out loud, "I have the mind of Christ."

1 TIMOTHY 6:12; PHILLIPIANS 2:5

ABLE

I know that often you do not feel able to be the best representative of My peace, joy, and love. You need to remember that the ability to do My will always comes when you are not depending upon yourself, but instead, you are depending upon Me.

Yield yourself every morning to My Spirit and ask Him to enable you.  He is your helper, and He will give you the ability to be the best representative of Me that day.

Remember how Paul looked to Me to empower him.  He wrote: "Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." The power that works within you and all My beloved is the power of My Holy Spirit.

EPHESIANS 3:20

IMAGE

I created everyone born to be created into My image.  I was present at every conception.  I am the light of the world who lights every man who comes into the world.  However, many people have chosen to walk in darkness instead of allowing My Spirit to reignite My light in their lives.

You truly are the light of the world Who I have chosen to be changed from glory to glory into My image. This is why I want you to allow Me daily to make My light within you shine brighter and brighter until I return.

I know it is hard for you to imagine that one day you will be just like Me.  However, that is the promise of My heavenly Father: 1 John 3:2: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is."

JOHN 1:9; 2 CORINTHIANS 3:18

EVERLASTING

You are a part of an everlasting kingdom.  When you received Me as your LORD and Savior, you entered My everlasting kingdom.

The kingdom you entered is not meat and drink.  It is righteousness, peace, and joy.  My love for you is also everlasting.

During this time in the history of your nation when such darkness has entered it, remember that you are not of the world, but you are in the world.  You are of My Kingdom which means that you can enjoy My peace, righteousness, and joy through every fiery trial that you might experience.  REJOICE!!

ROMANS 14:17; PSALM 145:13

FAIL

I keep My Word.  I am a promise keeper and a covenant keeper.  The children of Israel had gone through the wilderness and had spent much of that time complaining to Moses about Me, but I still kept My promises to them.

I promised to take them to the promised land.  Moses never got to see the land of promise because he mocked Me in front of the children of Israel.  

Joshua along with Caleb were the only ones who survived the generation that died in the wilderness. After  Joshua entered the promised land he wrote: "There failed no good thing that the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass."  I will never fail to keep My promises.

JOSHUA 21:45
