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.

LATE

I know how you want to make your appointments and events on time.  If you are running late, you can easily become stressed.  Those are the times that My enemy can take advantage of you.

My enemy loves to pressure you to do things in haste.  He wants you to go ahead of Me.  This is why it is so important that you daily commit your works to Me.  My Holy Spirit will help prioritize your day.  He will establish your thoughts.

Depend upon Him to today as He speaks to you about the next thing to do.  When you depend upon My Spirit, you will not be late, and you also will not feel hurried or worried.  My adversary always works well in your life when you become impatient and stress-filled.  Let My Spirit flow moment by moment in your life, and at the end of the day you will not be worn out.

PSALM 37:5; PROVERBS 16:3

RELAX

It seems that people now are under so much pressure.  They hurry from one appointment to another event.  There is little time to just relax, and when there is time, it is hard for people to relax.

I am grateful that you have learned that the best time to relax in My presence is early in the morning.  My servant David said, "Early will I seek You." I also took time alone with My Father before the sun rose.

I want to challenge you this next week to set aside a time to relax in My presence.  It is during those times that you can clearly hear My voice.  In My presence is fullness of joy and pleasures forever more.  You will be able to abide in My joy and your joy will remain throughout the day when you relax with Me before your day begins.

PSALM 16:11; JOHN 15:11

ARMOR

Many of my beloved  daily cover themselves with the full armor of God described in My Word. They place the helmet of salvation, the breast plate of righteousness upon themselves.  They gird their loins with truth and put on the gospel shoes of peace.  They take up the sword of the Spirit and the shield of faith. 

This is a good prayer to pray daily, but I want My beloved to activate My armor daily by hiding themselves in Me..  I am the full armor of GodI am all truth.  I am your righteousness, I am your salvation.  I am your faith.  I am the living Word of God.  I am your peace.

Today, I want you to yield yourself to My Spirit so that you can be empowered to walk in My truths by learning and declaring My Word.  My Spirit will help you declare that your righteousness is of Me.  This will protect you from condemning words that My enemy sends you.  Thank Me for My sacrifice that provides salvation (wholeness in every area of your life). Rely on My faith within you instead of striving to have faith.  Pray about everything instead of being anxious and My peace will flood your heart and mind.

EPHESIANS 6:11-18

COMIING

There is all kinds of speculation about the time of My second coming.  I have noticed that some even believe that we are in the tribulation. The fact that some surmise this is proof that it is not yet time for My return on Earth.

You are in the beginning of sorrows as I described in Matthew 24.  However, only My Father knows the time of My return.  You can know the season of My return.  It is drawing near, but there is much to be done on Earth before My return.

I gave the sign of My returning to My disciples.  The sign of My return will be that My gospel has been preached to every nation.  There are many on Earth Who have not yet heard My gospel.  Pray for the laborers who are sent out to preach to the nations.  Only My Father knows when all have been reached.  At that time and not a day before that time will I return.

MATTHEW 24:3-14

ATTENDANTS

Weddings seem to be on My mind.  I am looking forward to that beautiful day when you will sit down with Me to enjoy My wedding dinner.

It is always up to the bride and groom to choose their wedding attendants.  Those attendants not only march down the isle during the wedding, but they usually assist the bride and groom in preparing for the wedding.

You also have attendants who are helping you prepare for that great wedding.   These attendants have been with you from the very beginning of your life on Earth.  Some of My beloved have a whole host of attendants.  Every one of My beloved have at least two attendants.  Those attendants are My Holy angels Who I have charged to watch over you throughout your life.  One day you will meet them.  Until that time, think back to the times in your life when you know without a doubt that these holy attendants were helping you..

HEBREWS 1:13-14

RECEPTION

Earthly weddings are a forerunner of what you will experience in heaven. A long receiving line of guests who want to hug the bride and congratulate the groom is formed after the wedding vows are completed.  Following that time of greeting, many times there is a sit down reception dinner.

When you reach heaven, there will be a reception line of saints who you have loved and many that you have witnessed to while you were on Earth. I will kiss you, My bride, and later you will enjoy the reception dinner I have prepared for you.

Just before Stephen entered heaven when he was being stoned, he saw Me standing to receive him.  My Word says that I am seated on the right hand of My Father, but on that special day I stood up to give honor to My dear servant Stephen.  All the saints and angels also stood and gave him a roaring ovation. What happened that day when Stephen entered My heavenly realm will be repeated when you and each of My saints finally see Me face to face.

COLD/HOT

You are experiencing the change of seasons.  The weather is cooling down, the leaves are falling, and at last the season of hot weather is over.  Just as the seasons change, your heart can change for the better or worse.

I rebuked the Laodiceans because their works were neither hot nor cold.  Their focus was on material things and pleasuring themselves, and they had little time to spend in My presence.  I told them because they were neither hot nor cold that I would spew them out of My mouth.

I also rebuked the church at Ephesus because they had left their first love.  I want you to be very careful to keep your heart with all diligence because all the issues of life flow from your heart (your inner man).  I want your heart to be on fire for Me.  This can only happen when you ask My Holy Spirit to keep a burning desire in your heart to do My will and also to give you the power to do it.
