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.

SALT

I know how you trust that when you are with Me face to face that you will leave a legacy of family and friends on Earth who will be surrendered to Me.  

When I called My beloved the salt of the Earth, I was implying that they were in the Earth to preserve it with the power of My love.  I have given each one who believes in Me the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind.

Also those who allow My life to flow through them will add the flavor of My presence wherever they go. The next time you look at a salt shaker, notice that when you sprinkle salt on your food, several grains are distributed at one time.  I want your life to touch many lives with My love.  I am a relational God, and I am so happy for the flavor My beloved add to this world.

MATTHEW 5:13; 1 TIMOTHY 1:7

IGNORANT

You live in a day when I do not want you to be ignorant of Satan's devices.  One of his devices is to cause you not to forgive.  Paul wrote this: "To whom you forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; Lest Satan should get  an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."

When you refuse to forgive someone, you are very vulnerable to Satan.  He is able to develop within you a root of bitterness.  When that root of bitterness grows, it will defile not only you, but also all those around you.

I exhort you to forgive others as I have forgiven them.  This does not justify what they have done to you or release them from judgment. Forgiveness puts you in a position to receive the grace that I want to daily give you.  If you are having trouble forgiving someone, ask Me to help you, and I will.

2 CORINTHIANS 2:20-11; HEBREWS 12:15

CONDITION

What condition are you in today?  When see the darkness in the world growing darker and darker as each day progresses, you could easily be in a fearful condition or a worried condition.  I do not want you to experience either of these conditions.

No matter what condition the world is in, you must remember that you are in this world, but not of this world.  You dwell in the kingdom of God on Earth and that Kingdom is filled with righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

You also are seated far above the world. You are seated in Me in heavenly places.  This means that you have full authority over all the demons that are trying to pull you down.  I want you to have a heavenly perspective as you face each new day.  This will only happen as you spend time in My presence.  In My presence is fulness of joy and pleasures forevermore.  This is a great condition to remain in all day long.

EPHESIANS 2:6; PSALM 16:11

CURRENT

When I walked on Earth there was no way to stay current on the every day happenings in the lives of others or in the Roman government that we were under.  Today the news is at your fingertips.  

I do want you to be aware more than ever of what is currently happening in the world so that you can pray against the forces of darkness that have been released in the world. You are called to pray for those in leadership in your land so that you can share the gospel freely in your country.

These liberties are beginning to be taken away, but prayer and the influence of prayer in the world can never be taken away.  Intercede more and more as the days draw near to My return. Pray for laborers for this last great harvest, and be at peace because you know I am your refuge and your fortress.

1 TIMOTHY 2:1-2; MATTHEW 9:37-38

JUSTIFIED

I want you to know that My Father is a God of justice.  You can see in My Word how God hates the unjust.  What you are seeing demonstrated throughout the world right now is injustice to mankind.

Killing the unborn is not just.  I am the light of the world Who lights every man who comes into the world.  I am present at every conception.  I light every man who comes into the world.  I am life itself. Without Me there is no life.

A child is conceived to receive life and if that child is denied life, then this is the height of injustice.  Pray that the laws that have permitted abortion in your land to be overturned.  The abortions in your nation have caused a curse on your land and that curse will not be removed until justice is done for the unborn.

JOHN 1:3-5, 9;

Patience

Many of My beloved are becoming impatient with this continual virus crisis.  Many hoped that this plague would be over by now.  

My Word speaks of patience quite often, but this word means something more than just being impatient when you have to stand in line for hours to get something accomplished.

The word patience in the Bible means to suffer long or to endure until the end.  My beloved are learning to suffer long as they are still waiting for this plague to be lifted.  My brother James wrote: "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers trials; knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patient, but let patience have her perfect work that you may be perfect and entire wanting nothing. Today and every day until this virus is lifted, allow patience to have her perfect work in you.

JAMES 1:2-4

DANCE

I want you to know today that I dance over you and I sing over you every day of your life.  I rejoice over you with singing.  I want you to receive this truth.  When I made you, I said this is so good.  Why do you ever doubt how much I love you?

I laid My life down for you to redeem you and set you free from all bondage.  Yes, I said all bondage. I hate the devil and the lies that My people have received from him.  The truth is that  you have all power and authority over every demon that ever existed.

What is the demon that has you bound today? I say to  you take the authority I have given you and right  now bind that demon in My blood and command it to leave you in My name and it must leave.  Then ask My Holy Spirit to come with such power over you that you will not ever be the same.  I am changing you from glory to glory daily.  Praise Me because you are in Me and I am in you. I am your hope of glory.
