You are My planting. I have sent My Holy Spirit to water you with My Word. You will not grow into a tree of righteousness unless you allow My Spirit to water you daily by spending time in My Word.
Do not allow the thorns to choke out your growth. The thorns are the lusts that you have in your soul (mind, will, and emotion). When you open the door to one of these lusts, your growth will be stunted. Those lusts are the lust of the flesh (seeking to satisfy your five senses in an addictive or obsessive way); the lust of the eye (covetousness, vain imaginations like looking at pornography); and the lust of the pride of life (trusting in yourself more than you trust in Me).
If you continually give in to one or all of the lusts, your growth will not only be stunted, but also your soul will be oppressed by My enemy. My enemy will implant his thoughts in your mind. He will weaken your will to resit him, and he will bombard you with negative emotions such as fear, panic, anxiety, and rejection.
1 JOHN 2:15-17

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.
