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.

LET

"Let" is a verb that I want you to use continually.  I want you to let Me help you whenever you need wisdom.  I want you to let go of the things that are not important in the advance of My kingdom on Earth.  My enemy's plan is to distract you from what I want you to do daily.

I also want you to let  go of the thoughts that My enemy gives you.  Take those thoughts captive and give them to Me. Often you hear My enemy's suggestive thoughts to retaliate rather than forgive, to become angry rather than sow peace, and to speak hurtful words rather than helpful words to others.  LET THOSE THOUGHTS GO. Do not rehearse such thoughts in your mind.

Let Me set your day's agenda by giving your works to Me so that I can establish your thoughts.  Let My love flow through you continually today and every day.  Do not allow My enemy to even get a toehold in your life.

PROVERBS 16:3; ROMANS 5:5

RESISTS

God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.  When you are in pride, you have two enemies: Me and the devil.  The devil is your enemy always, but I seldom am your enemy.  In fact, I call you My friend.

Some people live blessed lives and others have one trouble after another.  One of the reasons that people have so much trouble is that they are prideful.  They refuse to humble themselves before Me.
I am continually pouring out My grace upon My beloved.  However, when My beloved raise the umbrella of pride, the showers of My blessings will not fall their way.

I desire for you to humble yourself before Me every morning.  Present your body to Me as a living sacrifice and the members of your body to be used as instruments of My love, joy, and peace.  When you do this, My grace will be sufficient to carry you through every trial you may encounter that day.

JAMES 4:6

MENTION

Trust in Me with all of  your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Me, and I will direct your paths. There are ways that you can mention My name in almost every situation you experience.

You do not have to use religious terms when you speak to interviewers for jobs, fellow workers, people in the market places and other encounters.  There is power in My name. 

Ask My Holy Spirit to give you just the right way to acknowledge Me and to mention My name in every encounter with people.  I will then be able to open doors and close them as you journey on various paths in your life.  Do not allow fear or reasoning to prevent you from mentioning My name.

PROVERBS 3:5-6

SEED

Because you have received Me as your Lord and Savoir, you are the seed of the blessed and your offspring will be blessed.  You are a daughter of Abraham because through your faith, you were grafted into the olive tree which represents My beloved Jewish people. All the blessings of Abraham are also your blessings now. 

I know how often you say that you have lived a blessed life.  This is because you have not only believed Me, but you also have believed My promises.  You have partaken of My very divine nature because you believe that everything I have promised is yours and is yes and amen through Me.

Give Me thanks and praise today because I have made you righteous and the seed of the righteous is blessed and will be a blessing.

ISAIAH 65:23, 44:3; 2 PETER 1:4;2 CORINTHIANS

LINE

Most parents want to keep their children in line.  They look for instant obedience and they expect respect.  Paul warned Timothy that in the last days children will be disobedient to parents,  You live in an age when children are saturated not with the water of My Word, but instead by worldly lustful thoughts that are conveyed through the media.

My word has keeping power.  Line upon line and precept upon precept in My Word needs to be declared out loud. When you declare My Word out loud, you use My Word as a sword against the enemy, and he has no choice but to flee.

When you trust yourself and your children into My hands, I have promised to lead you and your children in paths of righteousness for My name's same.  Declare My Word out loud today. When you continue in My Word, the truths in My Word will set you free from the spirits that attempt to seduce you to give into worldly lusts.

2 TIMOTHY 3:2; JOHN 17:14-20, 8:31-32; PSALM 23:3

TRACK

I want you to keep on My track today and every day.  You can keep on My track when you simply ask My Holy Spirit to speak to your heart about the next thing to do.

It is too overwhelming to try to fulfill your "To Do List" for the day.  If you try to fulfill that list in your own strength, you will always come up short, and you will be disappointed at the end of the day.

You will keep on My track also when you always have one goal in mind during the day.  That goal is to glorify Me in everything that you do and say.  Look forward to this day and keep on My track by focusing on My presence with you all during the day.

RANSOM

I ransomed you when you were a slave to My enemy.  Adam and Eve's disobedience opened the door for sin to enter the world.  Even little innocent babies are now born with a nature that wants to disobey Me instead of glorifying Me.

The price of My purchase was My own blood, and that price made it possible for the whole world to be free from the slavery of sin.  However, many choose not to believe this act of mercy and grace.  I rejoice that you received Me as your Lord and Savior.

On that joyous day that you repented of your sins and received the forgiveness of your sins (past, present, and future), I bathed you with My glory just as a new born baby is bathed shortly after they are born.  I wrapped you in the receiving blanket of My love, and I began the process of parenting you the rest of your life and for all eternity. Thank Me today for your new birth.
