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.

COMMUNICATION

Communication is a word that you need to examine closely. "Co" means together. The root of "unication" is "unity." For there to be real communication between two individuals, there must be unity. There also should be co-operation. Look at the word "co-operation" closely. You co-operate with another person when you are in agreement on how an operation ( a work or a matter) should be handled.

True co-operation will only occur when two individuals submit to one another in love and esteem one another higher than themselves. Love always brings unity. Today and every day pray for Me to empower you to love like I love. You will be amazed at how many misunderstandings will melt away and how soon good communication and cooperation will develop.

I love words in every language. Always remember that I am the "Living Word."


JOHN 15:10; PHILIPPIANS 2:3; PSALM 133:1

SPIRIT WALK

Step aside and allow Me to do the work. I watched My Father in the Spirit and then I joined Him in His work. You must do the same. Make a determined effort to let your flesh (mind, emotions, and will) step aside, and then allow My Spirit within you to join in with what Father is doing.

To walk as I walked on earth requires you to be in constant communion with Me just as I was in constant communion with My Father. Keep your spiritual eyes open to see things in the Spirit. Keep your spiritual ears open to hear My gentle promptings.

Watch and pray. Today is the day I have ordained you to labor in My vineyard.

DESIRES

Desires can be deceptive if you do not walk close to Me day by day. The world will always try to plant all kinds of desires in you that are not of Me. Everyday you are confronted with the temptations to spend time and money on things that will pass.

I am able to plant My desires in your heart. In fact, as you seek to walk the righteous path, your desires will line up with My desires. What I plant in your heart, I will grant. It is My absolute joy to give you the desires of your heart. Walk close to Me today and you will not be seduced by the enemy to give in to the ungodly desires of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

PSALM 37:4; 1 JOHN 2:15-16

BIRTHDAYS

Many of My beloved do not know this, but whenever a saint on earth has a birthday, their loved ones who are in heaven enjoy celebrating. Of course, you already know that there is a great celebration of the spiritual birthdays that occur when one person is born again into My Father's Kingdom. The angels rejoice and we all give a loud cheer.

Your birth was a special day because at last, the thoughts Father had towards you could be fulfilled in a physical way when you began your life on earth. Father and I had you in our thoughts long before you were born to your parents. Your conception was personally attended by Me. I am the "Light of the World," Who lights every person who comes into the world.

Share My love with others today on this special day when you celebrate your birth. One of the greatest gifts you can give Me on your birthday is to receive another person into Our Family as a result of your sharing the gospel with that person. I am praying that there will be many birthday gifts from you this year to your Family in Heaven.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!!

VESSELS

Pouring out and refilling is the mode of operation for My saints. I see each saint as a precious, costly vessel that is created to be filled with the water of My Word and Spirit. However, you and all My saints are to continually pour out My Word and My anointing to others. There should be a constant flow of My "River of Life" through you. So many in this world are thirsty for more and you possess the only water that will quench their thirst eternally.

If you could have your eyes opened right now to see into the spiritual realm, you would see the "River of Life" flowing from My throne room to earth. Today and every day, I desire for you to emerse yourself and refresh yourself in this "River of Life." I said that out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. Every time you pray in the Spirit, the water of My Spirit within you is stirred and you are energized, refreshed, and ready to face whatever the day brings. Pray in the Spirit often throughout this day, and you will not grow weary.

PECULIAR

My beloved are a peculiar people set apart to glorify Me. People think you are peculiar because your face shines with My glory light. Never take it personally if people are turned off by you.
This will happen when you encounter people who are walking in darkness. Such people do not like to be around the light of My glory. Light always penetrates darkness, and they have chosen to walk in darkness.

People who are turned off by you would like to turn off the light that shines from your face. I have given you a great treasure - the light of My glory within you. Pray for those who are darkness to turn to Me so that they also can receive this great treasure.

JOHN 1:1-13; 2 CORINTHIANS 4:6-7

BEAUTY

If you could see the earth as I originally created it, you would be awestruck by its beauty. One of the most beautiful things that existed before Adam and Eve disobeyed Me was the continual fellowship I had with them. How I loved to walk with them at sunset. We enjoyed the symphony of bird songs at sunset. Then when the night came, we looked at the stars that I had named.

The good news is that you can enjoy the beauty of My holiness throughout the day whenever you turn your thoughts towards Me. I look forward to our conversations together each day. Relish the beauty of My presence with you moment by moment today.

PSALM 66
