You are in training to rule and reign with Me in My Kingdom. When people train for phyical sports, they have to be disciplined and faithful to practice their skills daily. I do not want you strive and strain during your spiritual training. Instead, I want you to submit yourself daily to your trainer, the Holy Spirit. He is the One Who I have sent to be your helper during this training process.
The major goal in your training is to exercise My faith within you. You have My strong faith within you, but you must exercise that faith. There was one prayer that I had for Peter when I knew he would soon be going through arduous training. I told Peter that Satan wanted to sift him as wheat, but that I would be praying that his faith would not fail.
Even though he gave in to the temptation to deny Me three times, his faith did not fail. In a moment of fear, he denied Me. The fact that he was so grieved after that denial proved that he still had faith in Me. Peter did not have My strong faith residing in him, but later after My Holy Spirit empowered him at Pentecost, he had My faith within him. Praise Me today that you can tap into My faith when your faith is weak.
LUKE 22:27-32

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.
