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.

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
