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.

RENDER

The word, "surrender," has the word, "render," in it.  When someone renders something to another person, they are surrendering something of value to that person. The word, "render," means to give or to give over.

You are living in very dark, and evil days.  Paul exhorted believers to not render evil for evil.  It is a temptation for many to do this.  

Paul wrote: "See that no one render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men (1 Thessalonians 5:15.)." Pray for the those who are evil to surrender to Me and repent.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:15

KNOW

I  knew you before the earth was formed.  I know this is hard to understand, but it is true.  David wrote: "my substance was not hid from You, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."

I long for people to know that I have known them and now know everything about them.  There is nothing hidden from Me.  This is why I desire for people to come to Me instead of  running from Me.  

I am the One Who knows you better than you know yourself.  Come to Me daily.  Hide nothing from Me. Cast every care upon Me because I care for you.

PSALM 139:15; 1 PETER 5:6-7

ARISE

ARISE, SHINE; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. The prophet Isaiah wrote these words centuries before I was born.

During this resurrection season, give praise to Me for truly I am the light of the world Who desires for many to come to My light.

Pray diligently that many who are in darkness now will come to My light and arise to be shining lights in My kingdom.

ISAIAH 60:1

SENSES

My enemy's strategy is to first tempt people in the area of their five senses.  The lust of the flesh is giving in to the temptation to overindulge the five senses in an addictive way.

The five senses were created by Me so that people could enjoy what I created. Satan used the senses of Eve to seduce her.  She first saw the fruit was pleasant to her eyes. and it looked like it would taste good.

The only way to resist Satan's seduction through the five senses is to have your senses exercised to discern good and evil by abiding in My Word.  So many have become victims of addiction because they do not know My Word. Pray for this generation to return to learning the principles in My Word.

GENESIS 3:6; HEBREWS 5:14

REJOICE

It is nearing the time when people will be celebrating Resurrection Sunday.  It is a time to remember when My disciples discovered My empty tomb.  

There are many religions that worship various gods, but no gods that they worship were ever raised from the dead. I was able to go to Jerusalem with joy in My heart because I knew that soon all the world would be offered the gift of salvation.

Rejoice and celebrate the fact that you now have the same resurrection power (the Holy Spirit) within you that raised Me from the dead.

ROMANS 8:11

CAST

My servant Peter exhorted believers to humble themselves before Me by casting all of their cares upon Me for I do care for them

Never neglect casting your cares upon Me.  Think about how a fisherman casts his rod out into the water with the hope of catching a fish.  He does this with great faith that he will catch a fish.

I eagerly await for you to cast your cares upon Me with faith believing that I not only hear your cares, but I also will perfect all those cares that are a concern to you.

1 PETER 5:6-7; PSALM 138:8

SHEDDING

The author of Hebrews wrote to the Jewish believers before the destruction of the Temple in 70AD these words: "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without the shedding of blood is no remission."

I shed My blood for the remission of the sins of the whole world.  Pray for many today to recognize that though their sins be as scarlet, My blood can make them white as snow.

On that fateful day that I died on the tree, I exchanged the unrighteousness of human kind for My pure righteousness. Pray that many will receive Me as their Savior so that their sins can be washed away.

HEBREWS 9:22; ISAIAH 1:18
