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.

PRAYER

I know how you feel that sometimes your prayer life is just routine. I just love to hear your voice in the morning. So many of My saints do not even bother to say "Good morning" to Me.

To revitalize your prayer life, allow My Spirit to pray through you. Pray in the Spirit often during the day, not just in your morning quiet time. When you pray in the Spirit, mountains move in the spirit realm and you do not even know this.

Join Me in intercession every morning. Ask My Holy Spirit to help you pray the same prayers that I am praying to the Father for your family and others that you include in your prayers. Lift each name up to Me, and then pray in the Spirit. Many times I will give you the interpretation of what you are praying.

Remember always that it is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit that things get done on Earth. Today, bring heaven down to Earth as you depend upon My Spirit to help you pray.

JOHN 17 - This was My prayer for you and still is.

GLORY

My glory is My manifest presence with you. Bathe in My glory today. I prayed to the Father to give you the same glory He gave Me. You do not have to seek My glory. Simply seek Me.

Too many of My followers seek an experience with Me. Simply seek Me and in My presence is fulness of joy and pleasures forever more. What more could you desire?

JOHN 17

PERSPECTIVE

Ask Me to give you My view of this day. Seeing things from My perspective will bring you great peace. When you look down with Me on the events of the day, you will never be distrubed or distraught.

Truly your position with Me is in the heavenlies that is far above all principalities and demonic powers that seek to pull you down. Those powers will never be able to pull you down if you see yourself seated with Me above them. I died on the tree to purchase you this position. Thank Me daily for giving you My view from above.

FAMILY

I am a family God. The relationship I have with My Father and the Holy Spirit is like a family. I designed the family in My image. The father is to be the provider, protector, and priest of his family. My Father fulfills these functions. He is Jehovah Jireh, the Provider. He is Elohim, Mighty God, Who has all authority. He is Jehovah Sabboath, your protector.

When I was begotten of the Father, the Holy Spirit came upon My mother and provided the seed for My conception. The Holy Spirit now has the function of teacher, exhorter, and empowerer. He also nurtures. He is the comforter and He fulfills many roles that a mother fulfills.

I am the only begotten Son of the Father. I am the One Who is God in the flesh. I came to earth to identify with you. You are like My brothers and sisters. My prayer is that every family on earth would be functional and would allow My Father, My Holy Spirit, and Me to dwell within each member in the family. When this happens everything is in order. Pray for those famliies today that are out of order.

JOHN 1 and JOHN 17

WINNING THE RACE

Just before I went to the cross, I gave My disciples three instructions for winning the race that was set before them. I instructed them to: abide in Me, abide in My Word, and abide in My love.
I knew if they dwelled in My presence with them continually even though I would no longer be with them in bodily form, that My power would work through them to accomplish the work in My Kingdom. I also knew that My Word had keeping power and that as they remembered My Words to them and meditated and spoke My Word, they would bear much fruit after I left them. My love within them would sustain them and My love expressed through them to one another would enable them to win the race.

Those instructions I gave them on our last Passover meal together are the same instructions I give you today. Daily remember My instructions and obey them.

JOHN 15

DISCOURAGEMENT

Whenever you feel discouraged, remember the words I spoke to Isaiah. I told him to be not dismayed because I was the Lord his God. I promised to strengthen him and to uphold him with the strong right hand of My righteousness. I promise to do the same for you.

I have sent you "The Encourager, My Holy Spirit." Call upon Him when you are downhearted about anything. He will lift your spirits. Pray in the Spirit and put on the garment of praise. The spirit of heaviness will leave you right away.

ISAIAH 41:10

TIMING

My timing is perfect. I go before you every day. I order your steps. I put you in the right place at the right time. Never take anything that happens to you as just a coincidence. You are a vessel who is filled with My light and I desire for that light to shine through you wherever I send you.

Sometimes you feel as though I am a God of the llth hour. Always remember that I am timeless. I live in eternity where there is no time. Never limit yourself to the boundaries of time. Instead, be led by My Spirit. When you do this, you will have time for all those things I want you to do.

Clock watching is something I will do for you. I will remind you of those times when you need to be certain places to see certain people. Trust your times into My hands and you will be amazed at the fruitfulness in My kingdom that you will accomplish by My Spirit.

PSALM 37:23
