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.

LEAD

The psalmist prayed a wonderful prayer that you can pray daily.  This prayer truly expresses My heart for you.

He prayed: "Lead Me in Your truth, and teach Me: for You are the God of My salvation; on You do I wait all the day (Psalm 25:5)."

When you put your trust in Me, it is My delight to lead, guide, and teach you My truths by the power of My Holy Spirit.  Put your full trust in Me daily, and you will receive all that I want to teach you.

PSALM 25:5

ENLARGE

My servant David had a large heart, but he prayed that I might enlarge his heart even more. He promised to always run the way of My commandments.. 

He wanted to run even faster than ever to obey My commandments and to discover wondrous things from My word.

Pray that you and every believer will have a "David's heart." Pray for this next generation to have a David's heart.  When a believers have a David's heart, they will seek to always hear, hide and heed My Word.

PSALM 119:32

PROSPER

John wrote a blessing to a person he loved dearly.  He wrote: "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers."

This is my desire for you.  I desire that your mind, will, and emotions receive My peace, joy, and love daily.

Take time every morning to receive these blessings as you spend time in My presence.

3 JOHN 1:2

EVERMORE

I want you to memorize one of the most important verses in the Bible.  It is a verse that talks about My presence being eternally with you.

This verse of scripture will comfort your heart when you go through trials and troubles.  This verse will give you hope when there seems to be no hope at all in the world because of all the darkness.

I speak to you a truth that will comfort you no matter what happens in the world.  "I am He Who lives, and was dead; and behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys to hell and of death                        (Revelation 1:18)."

REVELATION 1:18

EVENING

It was difficult for Me to find time alone.  My disciples were always with Me, and the crowds followed Me from town to town.

After a long day of ministering to many people, I was tired.  However, I made sure that I spent time alone during the evening. Those times I spent in prayer with My Father infused Me with peace.

Those times of peace prepared Me to have a good night's sleep.  I pray that you also will take a few moments to talk with Me before you retire to bed. This will prepare you for a good night's sleep.

MATTHEW 14:23

ANGER

I know that you sometimes get angry.  Being angry is no sin, but allowing the sun to go down on your anger is a sin.

Throughout My Word, you can see that I got angry sometimes.  The good news is that God's anger does not last forever.

My Word says: "For His anger endures but a moment; in His favor is life:..." My Father is a good father.  He metes His judgment with His mercy. His anger endures only a moment.  His love endures forever.

PSALM 30:5

KINDNESS

 My servant Paul wrote a long list of virtues to add to our faith.  One of those virtues was kindness.  My Word emphasizes many times how important kindness is.

Throughout the ages I have shown the exceeding riches of My Father's grace. The old nature of man can be very hateful and unkind.  You are observing families divided by strife and wars in many nations.

I have not given up on mankind.  My disciples were subject to their own lusts and sometimes even hateful. They soon learned that only My Holy Spirit could produce My kindness within them.

TITUS 3:4-5

QUIVER

When you think about arrows, you usually think about the fiery arrows of thoughts and temptations that My enemy sends continually. Lift the shield of faith by speaking My Word out loud when this happens.

I want you to think of your children and grandchildren as arrows who can overcome My enemy..  Psalm 127:3-5: "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them, they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. (Psalm 127:3,5)" Pray for your children to become strong warriors.

PSALM 127:3,5

REDEEMED

My Father had the plan of redemption in mind even before the earth was formed.  He knew ahead of time what would happen when mankind chose to disobey Him.

My Father also knew that Satan existed and that he would be successful in seducing Adam and Eve into disobeying Him.  My Father loved the world so much that He gave Me to redeem the world.

My servant Peter wrote that you and those who believe in Me would be redeemed, not with things that are corruptible, but with My precious, sinless blood that I shed when I died on the tree. Give Him thanks.

1 PETER 1:18-19

JOIN

It is so important as you approach your next election to be of one mind and one heart.  There are so many divisions in My body on earth.  The spirit behind those divisions is the spirit of anti-Christ.

There also is great division in families at this time.  You must be aware that Satan's strategy is always to divide and conquer.

As you approach the election of government officials, lay aside your differences and pray from your heart for righteous leaders to be chosen.  Discussing differences will avail nothing, but prayer will avail much.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:10

HEED

You can hear My Word, read My Word, and you can even hide My Word in your heart by memorizing it. However, unless you heed My Word, you will  never experience the blessings of My Word

Ask My Holy Spirit to help you daily to put My Word into action in your life.  My Word instructs you how to both speak and do what is pleasing in My sight.

I know you want to please Me daily.  As you hear My Word with your spiritual ears today, think of ways that you can impart My Word to others. 

PSALM 119:9
