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.

WIN

Sometimes you may not feel like you are winning spiritual victories.  However, there is no way that you can determine what is happening in the spirit realm.

People usually cannot see into the spiritual realm, but warfare is going on continually in that realm.  I am in charge of a huge army of angels who are fighting the armies of the devil.

The truth is that I have already won this battle with evil.  I won it when I was crucified and shed My blood  to redeem mankind from the devil.  Remember, I always cause you to triumph through Me.

2 CORINTHIANS 2:14

THANKS

I know that Thanksgiving is one of your favorite holidays.  It is a time when families join together for delicious food and precious fellowship.  

Pray for those who are lonely on this holiday. Pray that they will recognize My presence with them. When you think back over your life, you can remember blessing after blessing that I have given you.

The one thing that every believer can be thankful for is the following truth that Paul shared: "But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ. I purchased that victory for you.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:57

TIMES

Many people love to have times of refreshing in their lives.  I know how you enjoy those times when My Holy Spirit refreshes you.

Peter promised that those times would come to the 3000 unbelievers who were gathered at Pentecost.  He exhorted them and said, "Repent you therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the LORD (Acts 3:19)

Pray for those who are not saved to repent and be converted to believe in Me so that they can receive those times of refreshing from My Spirit.

ACTS 3:19

CONFIDENT

My servant Paul was confident of one thing.  He wrote: "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6)."

I am the One Who works through you both to give you the will and the way to accomplish the works I have designed for you to complete.  

Put all of your confidence in Me, not yourself, and then you will see that I am faithful to fulfill the calling on your life.

PHILIPPIANS 1:6, 2:13

WELLS

Isaiah wrote - "Therefore with joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation." Sometimes you may forget that your inner being is filled with My Holy Spirit.

My Word often compares My Holy Spirit to water. I want you to draw daily from the wells of salvation that indwell you.

Whenever you feel discouraged or heavy in your spirit, begin to draw water out of the wells of salvation within you by praising and worshiping Me and thanking Me for your salvation.

ISAIAH 12:3

ABSENT

My servant Paul wrote that when we are home in the body, we are absent from the LORD.  My presence is always with you, but one day you will see Me face to face.

This is what Paul was writing. He sometimes wished that he could be absent from his body so that he could see me face to face.  However, he knew there was still work for him to do on earth.

You are not truly home until you are home with Me in heaven.  This is your destination, and from the time you were born, you are journeying to your true home.  In the meantime, keep doing My will on earth.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:6

UNITE

David prayed that I would unite His heart to fear My name. This is a good prayer for you to pray for My body on earth and for your country.

There has been such great division in families, in churches, and in your government.  The fruit of the anti-Christ spirit is division.  

Bind the anti-Christ spirit and loose My Holy Spirit to heal hearts and bring unity to families, churches, and your government..

PSALM 86:11

REFRESHING

Shabbot is set aside as a time to focus on Me. It is a day of rest that I desire for all of My beloved to have so they can receive strength for the coming week.  

Shabbot is a day when you spend special times in My presence, in My Word, and in prayer. My presence is with you always, but I daily want you to take time to acknowledge My presence with you.

I desire for you to offer Me the spiritual sacrifices of thanksgiving, praise and worship throughout each day of the week.  When you faithfully do this, you will be refreshed both physically and spiritually.

ACTS 3:19

WAYS

My ways are much higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. However, I have given to you a way to understand My ways.

My psalmist, David, longed to understand the meaning of My ways so that he could walk faithfully in My ways and obey them.

When I was resurrected, I received from My Father the Promise of My Father.  That promise was the Holy Spirit who I called "the Comforter." I sent Him in power at Pentecost and at last My disciples began to understand My ways.  Ask My Spirit to lead and guide you to know My ways and He will do this.

ISAIAH 55:8

INQUIRE

It is so important that you enquire of Me.  James wrote that if any man lack wisdom, let him ask Me.  I delight when people ask Me for wisdom, and it is My joy to give wisdom to them.

I never upbraid you which means that I do not see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures. Instead, when you ask Me for wisdom, this gives Me the opportunity to overwhelm your failures with My generous grace.

All the victories that David won in battle happened because he first enquired of Me.  He asked Me for wisdom.  His failures in battle all resulted because he tried to figure things out himself.

JAMES 1:5; 2 SAMUEL 5:19

SEALED

Paul wrote about the wonderful benefits that every believer has through Me.  All the promises of God in Me are "Yes and Amen."

Those who are redeemed by Me are also anointed and established by Me,  I want you daily to receive the fresh anointing I have for you.

I have given the earnest of the Spirit in the hearts of believers. Rejoice today as you remember all that I have done for you.

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20-22

SHOUT

Psalm 47 expresses what many who have prayed diligently for revival and awakening to come to your nation. I have heard your prayers for My light to shine upon the darkness in your nation.

Psalm 47:1: "O Clap your hands, all you people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph."  Psalm 47:5 : "God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet."

Psalm 47:6-7: "Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing you praises with understanding. Continue to pray diligently for I will hear.

PSALM 47

DIVINE

My divine power has given to you everything that pertains to life and godliness. through the knowledge of Me. I have called you to glory and virtue.

So many people go through life without ever knowing what their calling is.  Everyone who is born on earth has the same calling. That calling is to learn of Me and to become more like Me day by day.

Your calling is to make My presence known to people by what you both say and what you do.  Only My Word has the power to transform you from being conformed to this world to being conformed to My image.  My prayer is that you will lead others to discover My divine purpose for their lives.

2 PETER 1:3

RISEN

After the two Marys came to anoint My body on the first day of the week after the Sabbath, they found the stone rolled away, and I was not there.

The angel told them that I was not there, for I had risen.  Then the angel told them to go quickly, and tell My disciples that I was risen.

The whole world needs to know that I am risen from the dead, and that people who repent from their sins and believe in Me also one day will be risen from the dead to live eternally.  Spread this news to everyone.

MATTHEW 28:6-7

INNOCENT

Judas repented of his betraying Me and gave back the 30 pieces of silver to the priests and elders.  He said he was guilty of betraying innocent blood. Then he cast down the silver and went and hung himself.

I want you to pray for your country and confess for your country the shedding of innocent  blood through abortion.

I died and gave My blood to redeem the world of sin.  I will redeem and heal your land when My body on earth will truly repent for not standing firmly against the killing of so many innocents.  Pray for this horrible sin to stop.

MATTHEW 27::3-4

UPWARD

Isaiah wrote the following about the remnant that escaped out of the house of Judah: "And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward."

This is My promise to the remnant of the true believers in Me in your country today. As you keep your eyes focused upward on Me, no matter what you see happening in the days ahead, I will establish you.

You once again will be rooted in the righteous foundations that were established when I birthed your nation. You also will bear fruit upward as you will be laborers in this last great harvest.

ISAIAH 37:31
