MISSION STATEMENT

Mission Statement
Power Tongues International


PTI (Power Tongues International) is an intercessory ministry begun by Charismatic Catholics and open to Christians of all denominations who pray in tongues, in the language of the Holy Spirit. Through this interesting, creative and powerful prayer style, individuals or groups throughout the world commit to pray for at least 30 minutes in the Spirit monthly at a designated time, listen to the Lord, record what the Lord reveals to them (words, impressions, visions, scriptures), and forward the words to the home group. There in the leadership of the home group, the words are discerned, recorded and shared on the PTI blog available to all. Through this venue there is growing recognition of the significance and importance of unity in prayer throughout the world. The words encourage and nourish faith. This is a place for seed planting, watering, nourishing for those who want to grow in this form of intercessory prayer. PTI is not a place for prayer petitions but could be inspiration for later focus on particular needs that surface and which may be responded to in the various PTI gatherings. To read and pray the words from previous months or find the preparation material, go to

Power Tongues notes 2/5/2012

Power Tongues February 5, 2010

Home Group
Linda S - First image was of bread dough rising. Then saw someone trying to shift gears in a rusty car. Rusty gear shift. Lord said ―go back the way you came and I‘ll make it right.‖ God is straightening out paths in peoples‘ lives. Madeleine (London PTI member visiting home group) - Picture of crowd, mainly men, holding each their own throat, choking. Jesus appeared and walked past each one, blew his breath in them. As he did, they began to dance like baby lambs. Release of something that they think they are choking with worries, hurts, etc but He is healer, releases us.
Theresa – When heard that, thought of their voice muted, His breath is giving them back their voice.
Barbara – Saw big dark cloud, as we started to pray it lifted, then lighted stairs up to the heavens raised up on our prayers. Heard Lord saying, ―What we are doing is so important to My work. I am sending you out like angels. This is a time when I am sending you out to be an important part of my work. Began praying for family, heard Lord say, ―As you pray I take care of your personal concerns.‖
Theresa – Saw us holding umbrellas blocking the graces that were falling. Prayed we would break off the umbrellas, then saw us with funnels to receive the grace, and saw us moving the funnels to wherever the grace was needed, for healing.
Nora (San Diego CA PTI member visiting home group) – Saw people like in the 1920‘s then saw it move to different times. Lord said, ―People are still slaves to their customs and traditions, need to pray they are free.‖ Prayed for freedom, saw butterflies, but only green. Lord said, ―Because green is hope. Pray that my presence will be revealed to each of them.‖ 1 Cor 9:19:
―Although I am free in regard to all, I have made myself a slave to all so as to win over as many as possible.‖…vs 23: ―All this I do for the sake of the gospel, so that I too may have a share in it.‖
Celine – Started with names, what came to mind is that we are to christen our children not with actresses‘ names or authors‘ names but with Christian names. Family name, He said that it represents nations. Pray for lineage; pray that whatever is an impediment in the lineage that He will break it. So wherever there is violence in the lineage, pray for peace, etc. When we pray that our lineage belongs to God, then no need for war based on grudge, etc. Prejudice disappears, it doesn‘t matter where you‘re from. There is always someone who doesn‘t like people from some place, need to pray to break that prejudice. Then saw pilgrimage – pray that
those who need to go somewhere for pilgrimage, they can go…even in Korea, China, South America…places where people can go and have their fervor restored, be spiritually rejuvenated.
Madeleine – James 1:2-5 – Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you face various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. But if any of you lacks wisdom, he
should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudging and he will be given it.‖
Betty – Saw rising, huge, round, like balloon, light pink rose color. Getting word explosion‘ but didn‘t look like explosion. It was explosion of grace. Why pink? Because it is mingling of Holy Spirit and praying in tongues in spirit with mercy of God expressed through the blood of the lamb – coming together of white and red, makes pink. It was round, filling up. The Lord said, in the Eucharist, my love is embodied in the Eucharist.‖ The more we pray in the spirit, it keeps filling up more and more until it will just open up and ‗explode‘ over the whole world. Then saw
rainbow, this is the hope and the promise. Then last thing was faces, like they lived long time ago, looked older, but not age, like they were souls who had passed on. Their prayers are also mingled with ours.
Adrienne – saw strands of white, maybe of light, formed braid, went around, understood it to be all the prayers of the PTI groups. They were white because filled with Holy Spirit, braid because unity. Prayed for focus and clarity – saw armies marching, in one place it looked like China, hundreds of them, walking, coming in waves. Then it stopped, and saw another one, looking like they were going to Israel, asked Lord to send angels to stop it. Then saw angels coming, along
with communion of saints to form huge barrier of protection for Israel. Then saw huge angels with swords, swords were crossed so army could not cross. Then in Africa, could see little children, mothers were crying for their safety. Heard Lord say, ―Pray for those would make the occasion of war.‖ Then prayed for bridge for kids to go to safety, then saw river with bridge under it and kids went over bridge. Then saw Columbia and Chile and going up through Mexico, saw river of blood-red, 2 in parallel, going up. Saw cartels, saw Blessed Mother, she was looking down, rivers became flame and it was that the fire of the Holy Spirit would cleans and purify.
Rod – Pray for unity of Christians all over world, that we take a stand. Heard the Lord say, ―You do your part and I‘ll do mine.‖
Theresa – Proverbs 3:3-6, ―Trust in the lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not; In all your ways be mindful of him and he will make straight your paths.‖
Shelly – Saw a lightning bolt, not sure what it was for, then distracted by my own cares, then prayed for all those who are distracted or burdened by cares of life, then saw concrete blocks on everyone‘s feet. The concrete blocks were the cares, worries and distractions weighing each person down, keeping them from running freely where the Lord would have them go. Threw the lightning bolt at each block and it broke off so each person was free of burdens and could run free, light, without heavy attachments.

PTI Partners
Merl – NY - I think at first is personal to me seeing my daughters and some people related to me, and my family. I saw my first daughter smiling and God told me not to worry about her. I saw a lot of money floating above our heads and our hands were up and we are happy handling it. Then I saw a lot of angels in white and the atmosphere is mostly white with lots of peace and serenity. The angels were lined up and surrounded me. I saw the Holy Spirit in the form of white dove with rays spreading towards me. I saw Jesus. We were standing, He held my hand with His one hand, we walk a little bit and then with His other hand pointing or laying with palm up something like some big big, huge place or something great I don't know but something like He's giving me but can't conclude what it is. Then water came to my mind then I saw rocks and water came out flowing more and more becoming like falls, streams of water falls from file of rocks. Just short falls not heightened.
Pat – NY – I was lead to read Ps 144: ―Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle - My lovingkindness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and the One in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me. Lord what is man , that you take knowledge of him? Or the son of man that You are mindful of him? Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow. Bow down Your heavens, O Lord and come down: Touch the mountains and they shall smoke. Flash forth lightning and scatter them; Shoot out Your arrows and destroy them. Stretch out your hand from above; Rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks lying words, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood. I will sing a new song to You O God; on a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You. The One who gives salvation to kings, who delivers David His servant from the deadly sword. Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks lying words, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood - that our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style; that our barns may be full, supplying all kinds of produce; that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; that our oxen may be well laden; that there be no breaking in or going out; that there be no outcry in our streets. Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.‖
Jackie – North Carolina - During my power tongues prayer time, the words I received is that the Holy Spirit is going to move in our world in a powerful way. He is pleased with the plans for the New Evangelization. The world desperately needs to be evangelized as evil becomes more prevalent. The Holy Spirit is asking us to be committed to spreading the Good News of Jesus, while there still is time. He will guide us, put the words in our mouth, tell us when to act and when not to act. If we put our trust in Him, He will lead us to victories over the enemy of God.
Paul – Florida - As I was so concerned over world social and political issues particularly here in the US, The Lord very strongly reminded me of Eph 6:12, ― For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the principalities and the ruling forces who are masters of the darkness in this world, the spirits of evil in the heavens....‖ Additionally my attention was drawn to a new (to me) way to read the Psalms....While the eyes read the printed words of the daily psalm (or perhaps any scripture) the mouth speaks it out in tongues.
Mary – L.I.F.E.Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - I saw the crucified face of Christ.
Regina - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - I received the word Heb 4:16 ―I receive grace and mercy‖
Victoria - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - I am the Good Shepherd.S Regena - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Seek. Keep on seeking.
Magdalene - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Abide in Me and I will abide in you.
Carol - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Give Me your heart
Sagaimary - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Salvation belongs to Me
Marie Christina - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - United in Christ we stand
Cecilia - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - I was crying from the start of praying in tongues and the crying continue in me till the end. I felt I was praying for the salvation of souls. Toward the end I saw a hand with its fingers distorted.
Regina - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Weep not. The days of rejoicing will come
Bryant - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - I am in your midst
Magdalene - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - My presence goes before you. Doors which are closed will be opened.
Sagaimary - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Indeed I am your God, sup with me.
Regina - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Be glorified
Iruthamary - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Take my yoke and follow me
Regina - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - I stand among you
Sagaimary - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Angels are descending to watch over you.
Ann Mauritia - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - I saw the words ―Israel come to the Lord‖ in tongues of fire lit up on the sky. Then the Lord gave me the word ―Isaiah 55:11 – So is My word that goes forth out of my mouth; it will not return to me idle, but it shall accomplish my will, the purpose for which it has been sent.‖ I then saw a big bear coming from the East – like from the part of Asia – Middle. It was a roaring bear. Then I saw a water fall and the water was very clear. Then I saw a whirlwind around us.
Regina - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Be united.
Regina - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Come My Children come, praying unceasingly.
Brother Soosay - L.I.F.E. Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Hence forth you will see the reward and the fruits of your labor. Come June it will multiply.
Maria-Snow Hill, North Carolina - I saw an image of a kitchen but my attention was focused on the sink. It was clean. My thoughts were on there not being any dishes to do. All the dirty dishes had been washed. I then had an image of an empty field. The field once had wheat in it but it had been harvested. The field was empty and all that remained was some dead sticks and some dead wheat. I saw a loaf of bread being lifted from an oven. The thought came that the field is cleared. There will be no more bread. There will be no more harvest. My thoughts returned to the dishes and that they were cleaned and put away. I felt that the Lord was saying that it is time to put our affairs in order. I prayed for Him to give us more time. I believed Him to say that His time of mercy is short.
Fresno CA group:
PTI has become such a beautiful part of our lives. How did we get along without this special time of prayer. Our hearts are softened and our spirits more receptive to his voice and spirit. We long to be in his presence and to see his face in each other, what a glory this is and it overwhelms our hearts. ..."Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over...." Psalms 23:5
Ciria - Fresno - Obey the voice from the ―burning bush.‖ The question isn‘t whether God is calling you — it‘s what God is calling you to do or be. The Lord challenges us to find ―the burning bush‖. We may believe in him, but not understand the trials we face and what the Lord is trying to work out in our lives. Our perception of self and the world we live in, will always be colored by our human eyes and understanding. It is true that we must become like children to enter in. Mathew 21:16: ―‗From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise?‖Exodus 3:1-20:'The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to The Lord our God.' But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him. So I will stretch out My hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go. ―And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe even these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takes out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land…. I have come down to deliver them . . . I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people: There was a connection between the principles. God was going to do it, but He still wanted to
use Moses. God could do it all by Himself, but it is God's plan to work with and through people - we are workers together with Him (2 Corinthians 6:1).
David - Fresno - Are you moving away from God‘s will? He gives grace to obey him and he builds hearts for obedience. When you stray from his will you fall into your own ways of the flesh and error. God‘s mercy is a sign of kindness towards us. Be resigned and trust wholly in him. Psalms 143: 9-12; Rescue me from my enemies, LORD, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. For your name‘s sake, Lord, preserve my life; in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble. In
your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
Sion - Cerritos, CA - Truthfulness should be the guiding light of your lives. Discern always the truth from the Spirit who will lead you always in truth. Pray for the grace to see the overall plan of God to save us, accomplished through His birth, the dying and rising of Son Jesus Christ. He is all for us all, sharing His divinity and His humanity, giving us everything that we need in life. July – Venezuela - God gave me a personal vision which I don‘t understand too much. I was in the back sit on my car, the car has no driver visible, but the car was moving forward in a huge
street. Suddenly, I felt a little fear, and decide it to take the driver seat in order to avoid an accident. The co-driver was a job partner. As we move along on the road, the road was transforming into a very slippery, with a lot of mud, very difficult and dangerous to move on it. In the turnpike was different level very narrow, and I saw many people lying on it, very dirt with the mud that won on the way. There were no new entrances, and when we could go forward, then, I back up. This attempt was pretty much dangerous. I wonder what it means…
Maura - North Carolina - Power tongues seems like the last way I would refer to my tongues tonight. They were like a dying breath, just barely there, the last bit of energy left. I did not feel that I should stop but rather that I was supposed to continue. There was no message. At the very end – two scriptures said in weakness. "Arise, O Lord and scatter Your enemies; let all who hate you flee before you." and "Let the gods who did not make heaven and earth, perish from the earth and from beneath the heavens." Even now a heaviness is upon me.
Ann Marie - Omaha NE - ―Open your heart to me. Use the gifts I have given to you. You unite your heart to mine and the depth grows through the body of Christ that is praying right now. Your special prayers ascend straight to heaven and cannot be interfered with. They are powerful beyond words. My heart rejoices as you unite in union, far and near, not even knowing one another. Yet, interceding together as one voice, one body. Your prayers rise to me. Your voices reach me and please me. You are my beloved. There is power in coming together in unison. Unite and pray and use your special gifts. My heart is with you, each of you united together.
Though far apart you are in my heart tonight. Just pray now and you will be blessed and all of your intentions honored. My dear one.‖

Closing prayer: Lord Jesus, we give these words and visions to You. Anything that is not from You, let it be washed away. Let that which is from You, go forth and produce much fruit. Thank You for teaching us to listen, and to respond to Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus‘ Name. Amen.
