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 -
http://www.voiceofthesword.com/.
I will keep you updated on future speaking enagements and ministry developments.

COMPLETE

When you receive the truth that you are complete in Me, then you will recognize that because I am in you and you are in Me, you now have complete authority over every principality and power.

This truth should make you very bold to use the keys to the kingdom that I have given you.  You can bind Satan and his demons because you have this power.  You can lose the power of My Holy Spirit to defeat  Satan's power.

You must remember that I defeated Satan on the cross.  All of the armies of Satan are now illegal on earth, and you have the legal authority to bind them and shut their plans down.  Use these keys daily.

COLOSSIANS 2:10-15

TRAVEL

Paul took Titus on some of his journeys.  Titus cared for the people that he met in his travels with Paul. He was chosen by the churches to accompany Paul.

The grace of God gave Titus a ready and caring heart that wanted to share the gospel with others.  It was God's grace and the anointing of the Holy Spirit that enabled him to be a great laborer in My kingdom. 

As you travel during this summer, pray that you will be led by My Spirit to be in the right place at the right time.  You may not have time to daily blog, but I will give you divine appointments as you go.

2 CORINTHIANS 8:6

WRITE

After the prophet Habakkuk had his vision, he was told to do the following: "Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run who reads it.

Habakkuk saw the burdensome vision of the evil and violence happening in his land.  Many in this day are having visions, and this was prophesied by Joel who said that the Holy Spirit would be poured out on all flesh. 

Be a watchman on the wall for Israel and write down what you hear, and ask for all lies about Israel to fall to the ground.  Stand against those who stand against Israel and pray for the truth to be known.

HABAKKUK 2:2

NEW

When you were born again, you became a new creature. Old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. I want to remind you of the liberty that you now have as a new creature.

When you repented of your past life and received My life within you, your old life did pass away.  My death on the cross did not just cover your sins.  I took away your sins.  

On the day that you received Me as your LORD and Savior, as far as the east is from the west so far did I remove your transgressions.  You can now live in the newness that I supply you every day.  My mercies toward you are new every morning, and I am faithful to get you through each day victoriously.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-21; PSALM 103:12

AFRAID

When I walked on the waters of the Galilee, My disciples saw Me.  I heard them crying out in fear. I immediately yelled to them, "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid."

So many all of the world are afraid because they see so many wars.  They see My homeland attacked by terrorists, and they fear that their homelands will also be attacked.

I want you to hear Me as I say the same words I yelled to the disciples: "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid." There are over 365, "Fear not" phrases in My Word. I understand that  you live in in fearful times. However, remember that I am with you, and My nearness to you will give you both peace and joy."

MATTHEW 14:26-27

PRIESTHOOD

 I have called you to be a royal priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices daily.  I want you to offer those spiritual sacrifices to Me in the morning during your prayer time with Me.

I love to hear the sacrifices of thanksgiving and praise.  Enter into My heavenly Temple through the gates of thanksgiving and into My courts with praise.

Then worship Me with songs of worship. The sacrifice that brings Me the most joy is when you give your body to Me as a living sacrifice. I will then be able to use you that day to glorify Me.

PSALM 104; ROMANS 12:1

REVEALED

Some people believe that they can hide from God.  However, there will be a day that every person's work (whether good or bad) will be revealed. My Word says this.

1 Corinthians 3:13-14: "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide that he has built suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire."

Believers in Me will face Me to receive their rewards for the works that survive the fire that will try men's works. Make sure that the works you do every day are the works that I do in the Spirit through you.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:13-14

REDEEMER

On that fateful day that I enjoyed My last Passover with My disciples, I lifted the Cup of Redemption.  This is the third cup of wine that is sipped at the Passover celebration.

I lifted that cup up at the end of the meal. After I had blessed it, I told My disciples that this was My blood of the New Covenant shed for many for the remission of their sins.

Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission for sin.  My blood was given on the cross to redeem mankind from sin. The next time you take communion, remember these truths and every time you eat the bread and drink the cup, remember My death until I return. Thank Me today that your Redeemer lives.

HEBREWS 9:22

MOUNTAINS

Everyone's eyes are upon My homeland now.  I want you daily to pray for the peace of Jerusalem because when you are praying this way, you are praying for My soon return.

There will be no lasting peace in Jerusalem until I return.  I do not want you to be discouraged by the darkness that surrounds you. I want you to be encouraged by the following verse of scripture.

Psalm 125:2: "As the mountains are around  about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people from henceforth even forever." I am around you right now and forever.  Do not forget this truth.

PSALM 125:2

BRIGHTNESS

These are very dark times all over the world.  To get through these times, I want you to focus on Me and My redemptive power. I also want you to focus on what awaits you as a believer in Me.

The prophet Isaiah wrote these words: Isaiah 60:19: "The sun shall be no more your light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light to you: but the LORD shall be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory."

These words will encourage you because these words tell you the rest of the story.  Look forward to that time when My light will light heaven and all the earth will be filled with the knowledge of My glory.

ISAIAH 60:19

MOTHER

Tomorrow is the day that many in your country will honor mothers.  You live in a culture now that is trying to destroy motherhood. This is happening because when your culture forsook Me, Satan came in.

Is there hope for the world? Yes, because I am the hope of the world.  I came as a man and even though I was conceived by the Holy Spirit, I am a flesh man.  I am God in the flesh.

I was very close to My mother when I was on earth and even just before I died on the tree, I asked My disciple John to take care of My mother.  Honor your mother on this day because My love for you is like a mother's love that always believes in her child and defends her child from harm.

ISAIAH 46:3-4

INTENTIONS

I know that you often have said, "I intended to do that, but I forgot."  Sometimes you also have doubted whether or not your intentions were good or bad.

Only My Word can help you discern where your thoughts and intentions are coming from.  When Satan sends you thoughts that are contrary to My Word, take those thoughts captive and give them to Me.

If you are walking in My ways, most of your intentions will be good because intentions are in the heart, not the mind.  When your heart is surrendered to Me, your intentions will be good. Check your thoughts and intents out with what My Word says.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:4-6; HEBREWS 4:12

DELUSION

At the end day God will allow strong delusion to come upon those who refuse the truth about Me. It is important to recognize that Satan himself is under strong delusion.

Satan has the power to deceive, but he is deceived himself because he truly believes that he will have his victory.

Any victory that Satan could have was destroyed when I became the perfect sacrifice so that those who believe in Me could be redeemed.  Take heart during these dark times.  I have already won the battle and the victory is yours.

2 THESSALONIANS 2:11

DISMAYED

When you look at the darkness that is shrouding the world now, it is easy for you to become dismayed. Whenever you are dismayed, I want you to remember the words of the prophet Isaiah to Jacob:

Isaiah 41:10: "Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God.  I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."

I promise to strengthen, help, and uphold you during these times.  Pray this promise over yourself and others and especially over Israel during these days of war in My land.

ISAIAH 41:10

STRONG

My strength will help you not to stagger in your faith.  Even though Abraham did not know Me personally,  he knew My Father, Who was and is the God of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac.

He was told that he would have a child from his own loins.  He had to wait twenty five  years before this promise was fulfilled and he was 100 years old when Isaac was born.

Abraham staggered not at the promise My Father gave him. He was strong in faith, giving glory to God. The strength to believe this promise came from Me.  You may be waiting on the fulfilment of a promise I have given you.  Call on My strength to help you to keep believing.  You will see it fulfilled.

ROMANS 4:20

Grounded

Pray daily for My beloved believers to be grounded and settled and to not be moved away from the hope of the gospel. You live in a time when many are falling away from the faith and other believers have lost all hope. 

Hope is the anchor of your soul.  Hope in Me and My promises will keep your mind at peace, your emotions from wavering, and your will steadfast to do My will.

When you put all of your hope in Me and not in the world's solutions to the many problems in the world, you will have good discernment and will not be swayed by the many false doctrines being preached in this day.

COLOSSIANS 1:23

WORTHY

My servant Paul discipled many people and planted many churches.  He prayed constantly for those churches to be faithful and fruitful.

Paul prayed that the believers who he discipled would be filled with the knowledge of My will and also  wisdom and spiritual understanding.

He prayed that they might walk worthy of the LORD and that they might be fruitful in every good work as they increased in the knowledge of Me.  This is a worthy prayer for you to pray for your children, other believers, and future generations.

COLOSSAISNS 1:9-10

DEFENCE

My servant Paul wrote how some were preaching the gospel out of contention, envy or strife, Others were preaching the gospel out of love.

Paul said that he was always ready to defend the gospel.  There are many churches in your culture today who are not preaching the gospel at all.  

Pray for the many who have yet to hear the truth of the gospel of Christ and thereby be saved.  Paul said he was never ashamed of the gospel because it was the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.  Be ready to share the gospel with those who have not heard it.

PHILIPPIANS 1:15-17; ROMANS 1:16
