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.

PLEASANT WORDS

I  want you to daily submit the most unruly member of your body, your tongue, to Me.  Pray daily that the meditations of your heart and the words of your mouth will be acceptable in My sight,
When your heart is filled with My love, your words will be pleasant because what you speak depends on.the condition of your heart,


When you speak pleasant words, your soul will prosper, and your body will also be healthier.  You live in a world where so many people speak unkind words to one another.  Your light will shine brightly for Me when you speak pleasant words to all those you encounter day by day.


PROVERBS 16:24

WATCHMAN

I am your watchman.  I never sleep or slumber.  I watch over you day and night. However, it is up to you to offer your body as a living sacrifice daily.  It is also your responsibility to guard the gates to your mind.  I have created your eyes, ears, and mouth to glorify Me on earth. I want you to watch what you see, hear, and speak   


Solomon wrote, "Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it: Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain."  Your body is My house and your mind is My city.  I want to be LORD over your body and your mind.


Yield to My Spirit daily, and My assignment as a watchman over you will not be in vain.


PSALM 127:1

PLACES

I hear your prayers every morning for Me to put you in the right place at the right time.  I have angels on duty to assist you throughout every day.  However, always remember that they are activated when you speak My Word.  They hearken to the voice of My Word.  As you know My Holy Spirit uses your vocal chords to speak declarations and prayers while you go through this life on earth.

When you are in heaven, you will no longer need the assistance of My angels to put you in the right place at the right time because you will have arrived at your final destination. 

Be on the alert today to listen carefully to My Holy Spirit's instructions as you are led various places during the day.  Pray for the people that are around you in those places and ask for open doors to share My love and My Word with them.

PSALM 103:20

ALLOW

My Spirit never forces you to do anything.  My Spirit contains the fruit of My love.  He especially is kind, merciful, longsuffering, and gentle.  One of the main functions of My Spirit that dwells within you is to fill your heart with My love.  However, your part is to be willing to daily yield yourself to the power of My Spirit. 

My Spirit also can give you a fresh anointing every morning.  My Spirit's anointing can empower you with wisdom and understanding, might and counsel, and the ability to remain in the fear of Me.  When you fear Me, you abide in My love and continually have a heart to worship Me and to obey My will.

Today allow My Spirit to do His work in your heart.  He delights in conforming you daily to My image.  Listen carefully to Him as He guides you throughout the day.  Ask Him to put you in the right place at the right time.

ROMANS 5:5

WALLS

As you go through this life, you will encounter walls that seem to separate you from people you care about.  The walls may be due to an offense or some resistance on your part  or those involved from being willing to forgive one another.  It is not in human nature to release hurts and even to forgive those who have wounded you.  However, I always stand ready to help you to be reconciled in relationships.

I gave My life to purchase you the ability to forgive others as I have forgiven you for all of your sins - past, present, and future.  It is My Spirit that is able to fill your heart with My love so that you will be able to forgive others and release all hurts to Me.

Forgiveness is an act of your will.  When you are willing to forgive the one who has hurt you or wounded you with words, I will do the rest for you.  Allow Me to break down all walls that you may have in relationships.  It is My pleasure to supply the forgiveness you need to have in your heart when you see that person again.  I died to reconcile you to My Father and it is My Spirit that is present with you always to minister the gift of reconciliation to you in every difficult relationship.

HEALING

When I walked on earth, I healed all those who came to Me.  I dealt with each individual uniquely.
I said to some after they received My healing touch that their faith had made them whole.  To others I said, "Go and sin no more."  I also told several that their sins were forgiven them.  This statement caused the Pharisees to come against Me because they said that only God could forgive sins.

Forgiveness and faith are two elements that open the door to My healing power. I said that when you stand praying, forgive those who have wronged you.  Forgiveness is the pavement on the highway of faith to Me.  When you travel the highway of faith to My throne room,  I stand ready to touch you with My healing power.  Reception of My healing comes as you focus on Me, not the weakness in your own body.  Resentment will lower your immune system and sometimes opens the door to disease.

You do not have to muster faith up to receive My healing touch.  Because you received Me into your heart and made Me Lord of your life, the same Spirit that raised Me from the dead dwells within you.  Call on that resurrection power within you to life you and draw upon My faith that resides in you always as you seek healing for your body.

RESCUE

It is always My delight and joy to rescue you when you experience the waves of adversity about to drown you.  When you go through those times remember how I got into the boat with My disciples during that horrific storm.  The moment I entered their boar, suddenly we were on land.  My Spirit empowered us to be transported safely to shore.  .

I am in the boat with you during every stormy trial.  I am speaking shalom to you.  "Peace be still."  During those times, you must be intentional to spend time in My presence because it is during those stormy trials that you will receive not only My peace, but also My strength and faith to overcome every trial.

Today recognize My presence with you always and tap into My peace moment by moment.

JOHN 6:16-21
