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.

CONCLUSION

At the conclusion of a physical battle during wartime, the soldiers are weary, but they are strengthened as they joyously celebrate the victory just won.

You are in a war.  There will be battles in your life that you feel you cannot win.  This is truth.  This is why I instruct you to give all the battles in your life to Me.  I am Captain of the heavenly hosts, and I am able to give you victory in every battle you face.

I only require four things of you as you release every spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental battle to Me.  I want you not to grow weary in well doing.  Then I want you to wait upon Me.  When you wait upon Me, you are putting your complete trust in My power and My authority to win these battles for you.  During this waiting period, you are to stay in praise and thanksgiving and declare My Word.

ISAIAH 40:31; 2 THESSALONIANS 3:13

MAJESTIC

As you read the last psalms in the book of Psalms, you will be able to grasp My greatness, my awesome power, and My majestic ways. 

The psalmist was careful as he wrote these psalms to mention the reason why I came to Earth.  I came to Earth and denied My kingly majesty and glory to save the world from sin, to preach good tidings to the meek, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and to open the prison to those who are bound.

My mission on Earth was not a majestic mission.  I came to serve mankind, and to reveal the loving heart of My heavenly Father.  Your mission is the same.  You are on Earth not to be served, but to serve.  Think of ways in this new year that you can serve.

PSALM 147:3; ISAIAH 61:

NOTHING

Some times when you have difficulty in relationships, you feel helpless and you wish you could do something to fix it.  You think that there is nothing you can do to make things right again.

There is something you can do when you feel like you can do nothing. You can pray and give that burden to Me.  Release the person in  your difficult relationship to Me.  Pray a blessing over that person.  Release all judgment of that person to Me.

Begin to give thanks daily to Me for having that person in your life.  Remember the good times you had with that person.  These are just a few things you can do when you feel like you can do nothing.

LUKE 6:37

LEAP

Sometimes you feel like you just want to take a giant leap of faith.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. The faith that will move mountains in your life is faith in Me.

When a sudden storm came up and filled our boat with water, My disciples woke Me up and exclaimed, "Master, do You not care that we perish?"  I calmed the storm and rebuked My disciples and said, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?

Fear is what keeps you from taking giant leaps of faith.  Give all of your fears to Me, and then believe that I am the One Who works within you both to give you the will to do My will and the way to accomplish My will in your life.

MARK 4:37-40; PHILIPPIANS 2:13

EMMANUEL

It still amazes Me how Your Heavenly Father was willing to take upon Himself an earth suit made of flesh and come and dwell among us. 

You spoke to me years ago about why You became Emmanuel.   You had to live the life that we are meant to live.  However, you could never live that life without My sacrificial death and resurrection.

The same spirit that raised Me from the dead now dwells inside of your mortal body because you repented of your unbelief and received Me as your Lord and Savior when you were a child.  As you look back on your life, you can see how I was with you even when you were conceived.  Emmanuel means God with you, and I am with you now and always will be with you for all eternity.

MATTHEW 28:20

GLITTER

The glitter of this world really shines during this season.  Christmas trees, presents, and most decorations shine with sparkling red and green glitter. 

The glitter of this world pales in comparison to the bright shining light that I commanded to shine out of darkness into your heart to give you the light of the knowledge of the glory of My Father in My face.

Now, you have the opportunity to allow the glory of My presence within you to shine brightly to others through your own face.  I want My light within you to shine brighter than ever during this joyous season that celebrates My birth.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:6

STOCKINGS

Stockings filled with all kinds of small gifts are usually hung on the mantel in the homes that celebrate My birth. Of course, those Christmas stockings are only decorative.  Often warm socks are placed in those decorative stockings.

When I walked on Earth, we did not wear stockings.  We wore sandals without warm stockings.  Warm stockings would have been welcomed on those cold winter months when My family and I walked to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Dedication.

The warm water used to clean our feet whenever we entered a home or the Temple was so welcome after our long walks. Part of your full armor is to shod your feet with the gospel of the preparation of peace.  I want you to be prepared to share My gospel with those you meet during this joyous season.

EPHESIANS 6:15
