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.

HANDS

There are works that I have designed for you to do even before you were born.  Moses wrote only one psalm. He concluded the psalm he wrote with a prayer that I desire for you to pray daily.

He prayed: "And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish the work of our hands upon us, yes, the work of our hands establish it (Psalm 90:17)."

Daily commit your works to Me and I will establish your thoughts. Listen carefully to My Spirit within you as I lead you to do the next thing. I will strengthen you to complete every assignment I give you.

PSALM 90:17

FLOODS

Isaiah prophesied a prophecy for Jacob who became Israel. This promise was for Israel and it is still being fulfilled. Every believer in Me are sons and daughters of Abraham.

Isaiah 44:3: " For I will poor water upon him who is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground. I will pour my spirit upon your seed, and my blessing upon your offspring.

Speak this promise over Israel, your children, and your grandchildren and generations to come if I tarry. Pray for Israel and this generation to become thirsty for My Word. I will fill the thirsty.

ISAIAH 44:3

PLEASANT

David wrote: "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places, yes, I have a goodly heritage." David did have a good heritage.  He came from the tribe of Judah, and he knew that he had a good heritage.

David's heritage was good because he had a spiritual heritage. David knew Me and called Me his LORD.  David wrote: "The LORD said to My Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool (Psalm 110:1)."

David knew Me by My Holy Spirit Who anointed him so that he could call Me his Lord even before I was born on earth.  Your heritage is also pleasant.  Since you were born again, you are a joint heir with Me.

PSALM 16:6; 110:1

LEAST

I shared that when I return to the earth in all My glory, I will gather the nations before Me. I will divide the sheep from the goats. I will put the sheep on My right hand and the goats on My left.

I will bless the sheep nations on My right because they fed Me, gave me drink, took Me in and clothed Me. The goat nations on My left will ask when did they see Me in such a condition.

I will tell them that inasmuch as you have done this unto one of the least of My brethren, you have done this unto Me. My brethren are the Jews.  Nations will be judged by their treatment to the Jews.

MATTHEW 25:31-40

DECLARE

No man has not seen My Father.  I came to declare Him.  I came to reveal to the world the character of My Father. 

Moses asked My Father to show him His glory.  Moses stood on a rock and My Father passed by him. Moses could only see the back of My Father, but My Father gave a character sketch of Himself.

My Father declared that He was forgiving, merciful, longsuffering, kind,  good, true and just.  All of My actions on earth declared the wonderful character of My Father. Daily seek to know Me better.

EXODUS 34:6

SUBSTANCE

The writer of Hebrews wrote: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Your prayers travel a highway of faith that is paved with the substance called hope.

You cannot see faith, but you can receive the substance of things hoped for when you read and hear My Word. I want you always to read My Word out loud because when you do, your faith will grow.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by My Word. When you read My Word out loud, both your physical ears and spiritual ears will receive the seed of My Word in your heart (your inner man).

HEBREWS 11:1; ROMANS 10:17

LITTLE

Both the Old Covenant and the New Covenant speak about how a little leaven leavens the  whole lump. Sin is often referred to as leaven.

The sins of the whole world were laid upon Me when I died on the tree to forgive the sins of the world. Sin is sin.  There is no such thing as big or little sins.  One sin can destroy a life.

I experienced on the cross the destruction that comes from sin.  My body of flesh was torn and My blood was shed to redeem the world from sin. Thank Me daily for My delivering you from sin.

GALATIANS 5:9

REDEEMED

I want you to celebrate today and remember every day My Father's redemptive plan that was even before the earth was formed. He knows the future and as God in the flesh, so do I.

My Father knew that mankind would sin, and this is why I was the lamb slain from the foundation of the earth to provide the perfect sacrifice that would reconcile sinful man to My Father.

This is a mystery that many do not understand, but it was only My perfect blood that I shed on the cross that could provide the way of faith for mankind to receive My sacrifice to atone for their sins.

1 PETER 1:18-23

SORROWS

The disciples asked Me what would be the sign of My coming.  I said, "And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

I added that nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earth quakes in divers places.  All of these are the beginning of sorrows.

I said that there would be persecution.  You are seeing this now in the world.  The end, however, will not come until the gospel of the kingdom is preached to every nation.  Pray for laborers for this last harvest.

MATTHEW 24:6-8

UNTIL

There are many prophecies in the Old Covenant that speak of My coming and even of My resurrection. The psalmist David wrote one of these prophecies and it is repeated in the Book of Acts.

David wrote: "The LORD said to My LORD, Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool." Luke repeated this verse when he wrote: 

"For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he said himself, 'The LORD said to my LORD, Sit on my right hand until I make Your  foes Your footstool." Share Psalm 110:1 with your Jewish friends.

PSALM 110:1; ACTS 2:34-35

AGREEMENT

I have promised that where two or three are gathered in My name, I will be in the midst of them. 

I have also promised that if two agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father Who is in heaven.

It is the agreement in prayer that is so important.  Always first ask that your prayers be in agreement with what I am praying about your request and then agree with others about that request.

MATTHEW 18:19-20

SHARP

Solomon warned his sons to be careful about the words that they spoke.  He compared the tongue to a sharp arrow or sword.

Solomon wrote: "A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow." David also warned his son Solomon about the power that words have.

David wrote about evil men: "They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent, adders poison is under their lips." Pray that the words of your mouth, and the meditation of your heart are acceptable to Me.

PROVERBS 25:18; PSALM 140:3, 19:14

BORROW

When I gave My sermon on the mountain, I exhorted people to give to others.  Many of those present did not know that I was the only begotten son of God who came to give My life to save them.

The sacrificial system that was created by My Father required the shedding of blood for the remission of sins.  Many today do not know that I shed My blood to redeem them from Satan's grip of sin.

My Father is not a taker and I am not either.  I am a giver, and I taught the people to give to those who asked them, and to not turn away those who want to borrow from them.

MATTHEW 5:42

SHELTER

Many all over the world are seeking shelter not just from the storms that are numerous during this season, but also from the storms of the wars  that are occurring world wide. 

Pray for those who are seeking to shelter their families from the persecution of believers all over the world. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for the persecuted church world wide.

My servant David wrote, "For You have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy." Make this declaration over all those who are fleeing persecution today.

PSALM 61:3

OBSERVE

I created mankind with the ability to observe all that I have created.  It seems that the age that you now live in is filled with so many distractions, that few people take time to observe the beauty of nature.

I desire for you to take time every day to just sit still and observe My handy work. The beauty even of a sunset is a reminder of My desire to let you observe beauty at the end of the day.

Tomorrow I challenge you to also observe the variety of treasures I have created. People are My treasures, and I want you not to be partial in your judgments of them. They are all precious in My sight.

1 TIMOTHY 5:21

PROTECTION

It seems that the stark difference between good and evil is being revealed throughout the world as there are so many wars and rumors of wars.

I shared that the time that you are experiencing in the world today is called the beginning of sorrows. You can make a difference when you pray for the innocent to be protected from the evil of this age.

Pray the prayer I prayed so many years ago for those who believe in Me. I prayed: "I pray not that  You should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil."

MARK 13:8; JOHN 17:15

CERTAINTY

You live in an age where there is great uncertainty because there is great deception and delusion that has invaded the minds of many in every country. This is the work of My enemy, Satan.

There are so many lies and false news that many are asking, "How will I know for certain what is true and what is not true?"

There is only one way to know with certainty what is true.  My Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth and My Word is true.  I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life.  Seek Me and My Word and you will know the truth.

LUKE 1:4

ABLE

I am able to meet all of your needs according to My riches in glory.  I am also able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you ask or think, according to the power that works within you.

You have not because you ask not.  I want you to daily ask, seek, and knock because I promise to open doors for you.

As you seek Me with all of your heart and ask Me for your daily needs, the door will be open for you to receive what I know you need. Ask for a daily anointing of the power of My Spirit.

EPHESIANS 3:20

WARM

One of your ministries as My beloved is to help people stay warm and filled.  I do not mean just physically warmed and filled.

I have called you to minister the warmth of My love to others.  I want you to reach out to those who feel empty spiritually because they have not received the food I provide through My Word.

Many people throughout the world have no physical food and no warm clothes.  Pray for their physical needs. Also pray for them to be warmed by My love and filled with My Spirit.

JAMES 2:16
