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.

REIMBURSE

Often you receive gifts or invest in items that later simply do not suit you.  You then return the item, and you hope you will receive cash and not just store credit..  Store credit means that you will have to spend money again in the same place.

My kingdom does not reimburse people for their investments because once you have invested in My kingdom, you never want to take back what you have received.  My kingdom is not meat or drink.  My kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Spirit.

Spending time in My presence is an investment that will keep paying great dividends.  In My presence is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore.  These are gifts that you will never want to return.

ROMANS 14:17; PSALM 16:11

STONES

The day is coming when I will give My beloved Jewish people new hearts.  That day will come when all Israel will be saved in a day.  When I set My feet on the Mount of Olives, they will see Me and know Me as their Messiah.

Until that day I want you to share with My Jewish people the same message I shared with them when I taught in the synagogues.  I preached the kingdom of God.  The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but it is righteousness, peace, and joy in My Spirit.

Many people are seeking peace of mind and joy in your age.  You have the keys to My kingdom, so do not hesitate to share this message with those you encounter.  You are a living stone fitted into the living Temple I am building on Earth.  While you have life, share My good news with both Gentiles and Jews.

WILL

It is true that I have given mankind free will.  What joy would I have if I had programed the will of people to do My will.  Mankind was designed to choose just as Adam and Eve chose wrongly in the garden.

The surrender of a person's will to Me does not come easy.  The lust of the pride of life is ever present to block such a surrender.  The pride of life is simply trusting in yourself more than you trust in Me.
You face this battle daily because that lust will always be crying out to be satisfied.

Solomon wrote, "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." Will you surrender your will to Me today?

CONNECTION

Connecting phones and computers with the internet seem to be the top priority for many people.  Yet, they are losing their connection with people.  Even when people are at restaurants, they are not talking to the person in front of them.  Instead, they are picking up the latest news and emails on their telephones.

I desire for people to truly connect with one another and with Me.  When you lose your connection with Me, things usually do not go well because it is so easy for My enemy to rob you of your joy and peace.

When you do not connect with Me and with others, you fail to obey the two great commandments that I have given you: ""You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself."  Pray about your priorities today.

MATTHEW 22:36-40

REINFORCE

Sometimes when a person has experienced much rejection, the heart (the inner man) is torn in places.  I see every tear, and I am able to heal every tear.

I came to heal the broken in heart and to set the captives free.  A seamstress carefully takes the piece of material that is torn and joins the torn pieces together.  Then carefully the seamstress reinforces the seam that was torn. When the seam is reinforced, that piece of material that was ripped becomes stronger than ever.

I am the One and only One Who can heal broken hearts.  This is why I give the invitation to all who have had their hearts broken through rejection to release their hearts to Me so that I can restore broken relationships.  This healing process takes time, but the threads of My love will cause that person's heart to once again be able to receive My love and give My love in a  strong, complete way.

ISAIAH 61:1; ROMANS 5:1-5

ACKNOWLEDGE

My promise is that if you acknowledge Me in all your ways, I will then direct your path. There are many ways that you can acknowledge Me without being so religious that people shy away from you.  One of the best ways is to ask people that you encounter during the day how you might pray for them.  Very few people will refuse that offer.

Today as you go about your day, commit your way to Me, and I will put you in the right place at the right time to have conversations with people you do not know personally. 

So many in the age you live in are hungry for peace of mind and inner joy.  My kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy in My Spirit.  My kingdom is within you, do not keep it to yourself.

WAIT

Faith will arise when you wait upon Me.  Faith comes by hearing and hearing by My Word delivered to you as you read My Word or as you listen to My Spirit. I never want you to do anything in haste.  Before you respond to others as they share conversations with you, listen intently, and then wait a few minutes before you respond to questions they may have.  There are no rules that say you have to answer right away.

Much trouble can be saved in relationships when you wait just a few moments before you respond to someone.  In those moments ask My Spirit to help you respond instead of reacting.  It is your flesh that reacts, but My Spirit will help you to respond with wise words.

My Word says that one who guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles.  Relationships can be broken with just a few words that are spoken in anger.  Remember this when you talk with people today and every day.

ROMANS 10:17; PROVERBS 21:23
