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.

RESISTANCE

People who do not yet know Me will often demonstrate resistance when you try to share with them My good news.  Recognize that the resistance they demonstrate is caused by certain demonic spirits who are attempting to block the truth of My Word from finding root in their hearts.

When resistance to My gospel is strong, I suggest that you excuse yourself for a moment and do some spiritual warfare.  The three spirits that you need to bind in My name and in My blood are the spirit of antichrist, religious spirits, and a haughty or prideful spirit.

My Word says whatsoever you bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatsoever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven.  After you have bound those demonic spirits, loose the Spirit of Truth (My Holy Spirit) and a contrite spirit to the person who is resistant.  My Word is true.  When you submit yourself to God and resist the devil, he will have to flee.

MATTHEW 16:19; JAMES 4:7

PICTURE

I often hear people sigh and say, "If only God  would show me the big picture."  The truth is that I have already shown you the big picture.  You will see that big picture in My Word.

Knowing the rest of the story that you find as you read My Word will help you make the most out of the days that you have left on Earth.  My servant Moses wrote, "Teach us to number our days that we might apply our hearts to wisdom.

I have written in My Word the number of days that mankind now has.  I said that you can live till you are 70 and even 80 if by reason of strength.  However, I have a different calendar of years for each person born.  You do not know exactly the day that you will be with Me in person.  However,
take each day as a gift from Me, and use it for My glory.  When  you do this,  you will be extremely fruitful during the days that I give you.

PSALM 90:10-12

COMPLETE

You are complete in Me.  However, it is up to you to allow My Spirit to work through you both to will and to do My Father's pleasure.  I have everything you need to get through a busy day.  Sometimes you are so busy that you are unable to complete what you have begun in a day's time.
This happens when you fail to yield yourself to My Spirit in the morning.

Do not let a morning go by without coming to Me with the list of all that you have to do in a day's time.  Commit your works to Me, and then My Spirit will be able to prioritize your works.  You do not know the future, but My Spirit does, and many things on your list can wait until another day.

After you commit your works to Me, listen to the still, quiet voice of My Spirit as He leads you to do the next thing.  At the end of the day, you will notice that you have been able to complete many projects that you began earlier in the day.

CONDEMNATION

I came into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Me.  My Father's plan was always to set human kind free from condemnation.  When Adam and Eve sinned, My Father asked, "Adam, where are you?"

My Father asked His beloved first human being where he was because He wanted Adam to come out into the open and confess how he had sinned.  Instead, the first couple hid themselves from their wonderful Father who loved to walk with them in the cool of the night, and they blamed one another and the serpent for causing them to sin.

Ever since that scene, My adversary has sought to condemn people.  He loves to remind you of your own sin.  Do not try to hide your sin because you can hide nothing from My Father.  If you are under the burden of condemnation, I invite you to come and fall into My arm, confess your sin and repent of it..  Because I shed My blood to remove you from the condemnation that sin brings and to forgive you for all of your sins, you can boldly come into My throne room and find the grace (the empowerment of My Spirit) to overcome your sins.

SECURITY

One of the basic needs of mankind is security.  When you feel secure you do not have to fear the future.  You can even look forward to the future because you know that I hold your future in My hands.   You know that My plans for you are  for good, not for evil, to give you a purpose and a hope and an expected end.

You live in a world that is falling apart, but I can place you in a pavilion where you will not hear the voices of strife and stress. That pavilion is in My Father's heart.  You are hid with Me in My Father's heart and no other safe place can compare with the safety and security provided in this pavilion.

Today when you hear all the news of wars and rumors of wars which I predicted would happen in the end time, thank Me for placing you in this secure place.  You never have fear evil because I will be with you for all eternity.

DISCOVERIES

Solomon wrote that there is nothing new under the sun.  This is true.  However, every day that you live, you can discover things that are new to you.  This is especially true when you read My Word.

I know that you make the commitment at the beginning of each year to complete reading all of My Word in a year's time.    Each time you open your Bible, expect new discoveries.  I can even reveal some of My secrets to you.  My Word says that I do reveal My secrets to the righteous.

New revelations await you daily as you read My Word.  Ask My Holy Spirit to teach you My eternal truths.  My truths are eternal and do not change, but your receptivity to the Holy Spirit Who can lead and guide you into all truth can change daily as you commit yourself to be open to receive from My Spirit.

RESPECT

There are many ways that a person can show respect to others.  One of the ways is to respect and take care of the possessions that another person has.  You are living in the age of lawlessness, and teachers are discovering that their students have little respect for people or possessions.

I want My light within you to shine brighter each day so that men can see your good works and glorify My Father in heaven.  Taking care of your own possessions or the possessions of others is a good way to let your light shine before men.

Be conscious today of ways that you can let your light shine brighter today than it did yesterday.  Above all, I want you to respect other people by showing that you care for them with My love.

MATTHEW 5:16; PHILIPPIANS 2:3
