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.

RECALL

Often there are recalls for cars and equipment that are not safe.  Whoever made the cars or the equipment is responsible to fix what was wrong.  Discoveries for certain recalls sometimes do not occur until there is an accident or even a loss of life.

The discovery of this virus came too late for there to be any chance for a fix. There was no way there could be a recall.  During this virus crisis, there are many researchers trying to find a vaccine or a cure.  Pray for these researchers to seek Me for answers because I am all wisdom.

This pandemic is right now out of control.  I want My body on Earth  to recall what is written in My Word.  Nothing is impossible for Me and through Me all things are possible.  Cry out to Me during these days of restriction, and I will answer your cry.  Throughout My Word, I always responded to the sincere cry of My people.  Recall these truths, and have faith that there will be an end to this crisis.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:30; MATTHEW 19:26

MAGNIFY

When there are mountains in your life such as this virus that has invaded the world,  I want you t o speak to the mountain.  I want you to magnify Me with your mouth.

When you magnify Me with your mouth, the mountains will melt and become as chaff.  I have made you a sharp threshing instrument having teeth to beat the mountains and make them small.

During this crisis, My enemy wants to magnify the negative reports.  Fight fear by magnifying Me and My name. Let  your mouth be filled with My praise and with My honor all the day.

ISAIAH 41:15; PSALM 71:8

THANKSGIVING

This is a time to cry out to Me.  Paul exhorted the church to "Be anxious for nothing, but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
One of the definitions of supplication is loud crying.

As you cry out to Me in these days, be sure to include thanksgiving as part of your prayers.  When you thank Me as you make your requests, you are demonstrating your faith in this truth that I not only have heard your prayers, but I have also granted your requests.

Today, I want you to think of several things that you can thank Me for even in the midst of this crisis.
Think about how I am using this crisis to draw people together rather than apart.

PHILIPPIANS 4:6; 1 JOHN 5:14-15

PROMISE

During this time when so many are fearful and worried about the pandemic that is taking place worldwide, fill yourself with My promises.  All the promises I make, I fulfill.  Review  the promises that I have spoken in My Word like, "I will be with you always even until the end of the world."

Every promise is yes and amen in Me.  The first part of the word, "pandemic," is "pan."  A god that many worshiped long ago was a god called Pan. The origin of the word, "panic," is rooted in the name of this god.

In these days, I do not want you to panic or be fearful.  My Word contains more than 365 exhortations to be not afraid.  When you spend more time reviewing My promises instead of listening to the latest news, My peace will invade your soul.

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20; MATTHEW 28:20

FRANCHISE

I gave you this unusual English word this morning for a reason. The word, "franchise," means freedom from restrictions. It also can mean a special right that is given to a person or group of people.

When I died to forgive you of all of your sins (past, present, and future), My Father gave you the right to receive My righteousness in exchange for your own self-righteousness. 

Sin always brings death and the right to be forgiven all of your sins that I purchased for you with My own shed blood means that you have been liberated to enjoy life (abundant life on Earth that extends to eternal life). My Father sent Me into the world so that whoever believes in Me might be saved. I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No man comes to the Father but by Me.

JOHN 3:16-17, JOHN 14:6

MISINTERPRET

With all that is going on as you listen to various opinions about this worldwide virus, it is so easy to misinterpret what is being said.  There are many rumors and misinformation.  Even the factual information is hard to interpret.

I want you focus on what will lift you up at this time instead of drowning yourself in the media, news, and bad reports. Put your focus on Me, and then seek wisdom from the principles and promises that are contained in My Word.

Wisdom is applied knowledge.  Before you read My Word, ask My Holy Spirit to interpret it to you, and then there will be no misinterpretation.  My disciples often misinterpreted the words I told them, but after My Spirit became alive within them, what I told them before finally was interpreted correctly.

MATTHEW 16:5-12

RESILIENT

During this time of trial, I want you to have resilient faith.  The definition of resilience is the ability to bounce back after being pressed and stretched.  It is the ability to recover strength and to have good humor spiritually even during trials.

As you look to Me, you can receive this resilient faith.  Paul wrote: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.  You live by My faith within you.

I gave Myself to you so that you can have resilient faith.  It is only through depending upon Me during this crisis that you will be able to bounce back after being pressed to the limit.  Press into Me in prayer today, and receive from Me the resilient faith you need, not only to get through this crisis, but also to receive My peace, love, and joy in the midst of this crisis.

GALATIANS 2:20
