Power Tongues notes 5/6/2012

Home Group input

Linda S - When we started felt that God was pouring out his Spirit on everyone’s prayer life, rejuvenating, getting us into the act, getting rid of laziness, deliberate steps in helping us in our interior lives, pouring into us a greater dedication.

Barbara –Getting the word ‘equipped’, more than just this group and our families. He’s equipping the church for our time, vision of huge groups of people dancing. He’s in the center, sense of unity.

Betty – confirm – First word was unity, pray for unity. Saw pathway of trees but trees were split in half, pathway was dividing, church was divided, trees that were not rooted firmly, when wind came, because they were split, they fell and fruit rotted. Ones that were split between world and God didn’t fall, but didn’t bear fruit. For the ones that were rooted in God, fruit did not fall; where there was a gap, God brought new leaves, branches. Then saw huge leaves, pink petals, all pointed flowers, no center. Confirms how he’s purifying our prayers, the flowers were the prayers of the people. The green, the hope of the world; the flowers are the prayers of the people, as we prayed the petals all started coming together. Prayer of God’s people was the hope of the world.

Susan – similar vision – Saw a strong big tree, luscious fruit, roots went deep down; everything around it was dry, drought. Lord was saying ‘come to me, I will give you peace. If you are rooted in me I will give you fruit’. Fruit is blessing everyone that comes around, but all around it there was nothing, all dry and barren. He kept saying, ‘be rooted in me and you will bear fruit’.

Linda M – My beloved stay close to me despite your busy lives, know I am with you. Remember me for I love you beyond your capacity to understand. I will take care of you; call upon me, let go of all that hinders you, love me back. Thank me for loving you and choosing you to do my work. You are my chosen ones in this day; I give you new passion for me.

Theresa – Lord says, “I’m shaking the earth and I’m holding the faithful in place as I shake it.”

Roberta – Persevere.

Mary Ellen – Thinking of article about Islam – and heard Jesus say that he is coming to break down the dividing wall. His people are going to pursue a peaceful path. He’s going to bring down the dividing wall.

JP – Saw persecution of Christians in Middle East; through all violence, could see Jesus with his hand over all the people, could see the peace and joy in his people. Seemed that there is going to be something very soon that will bring about peace and joy and unity

Bob – God is going to be pouring out the peace of Easter, take and accept the Easter joy.

Santiago – Saw arrows going all over, then pointed to one way, to Calvary. Then saw Jesus on the cross; didn’t want to see him there. Saw him risen, but brought back to the cross, to remind us that he paid the price on the cross. The only way is through the cross. Saw huge eclipse, trying to eclipse the sun, but he said not to be afraid of it, nothing can block the sun. Then saw him risen again, the only way is to come through the cross to Jesus. Our sins are like the eclipse, they are only there temporary, but the sun is not gone. He has forgiven us.

Celine – Heard God saying that he needs to hear that we love him. Was saying the second part of the Our Father as she prayed, and led to pray for mercy. Then saw person in cage area, pink, gate was open. Led to say three hail Marys and vision ended.

Rod – Confirm equipping of us and his disciples. Saw red/yellow like fire, it kept coming. Then saw everything was dark except outside, bright redness around edges, burning off of dross. That’s when the equipping would start.

Theresa – Saw a heart on fire, with flames all around it, pierced with a sword. Heard ’precious in the lord is the death of my faithful ones’. He will hold us.

Barbara – Twice saw round circle of darkness, now realizing it is the eclipse that Santiago saw.

Shelly – Saw wall dividing Mexico and U.S., solid wall where people could pass through only in appropriate place. Prayed for families who are split, prayed for wisdom for leaders of both countries, prayed for pain in Mexico that makes them risk like they do to come here, prayed for mercy for and peace and wisdom.

PTI partners input

Pat - Staten Island NY - When I prayed in tongues, I was led to these scriptures: Hosea 6 ,v 1 - 3: Come and let us return to the Lord, For He has torn, but He will heal us;  He has stricken, but He will bind us up, After two days He will revive us;  On the third day He will raise us up,  That we may live in His sight. Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.  His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth. Then Lamentations 3, v. 22 – 23; Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning.  Great is your faithfulness.  The Lord is my portion says my soul.  Therefore I hope in Him.  The Lord is good to those who wait in Him.  It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. Lamentations 3, v. 55 – 57 I called on your name, O Lord from the lowest pit, you have heard my voice. Do not hide your ear from my sighing, from my cry for help, You drew near on the day I called on You and said "Do not fear!"

Madeleine O'Connell - London UK. Whilst praying in tongues I had a vision of a mountain, children were running down, laughing and having fun, and I felt the Lord saying "My children, to be able to run down the mountain and have fun you must first climb up! I am with you always; through 'hardship' and 'fun times' I am with you to 'help' you up and with you to 'catch' you on the way down. Trust Me!  I was then given John 1:11&12.    'Even in his own land and among his own people, the Jews, he was not accepted. Only a few would welcome and receive him. But to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them.'

Nora - San Diego California - As I was praying I received two visions; first was a shadow of a human standing in front of a stage who looked self confident. As the prayer continued, the shadow was moving in different positions, to the point to reach the position of the fetus. During the changes positions of the shadow, I felt the human was feeling uncomfortable, insecure, afraid, lonely.  Right after I saw a vision of a group of people gathering together under a tent, all of them look very confident,  at peace and happy. As I continued praying I heard "the fellowship of my people united in love".  Immediately I knew the Spirit was talking about (1Peter:4:8) Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. Heavenly Father please teach us to love each other with the unconditional love, that you have for all of us, and remind us, that we were created to live in fellowship with others. In Jesus Name I pray.

Sion – Cerritos CA - “The Spirit is willing, but the flesh is unwilling to give up worldly things.” I then saw a gathering of different groups of people of different nationalities sitting in a grassy open field. Fires from the clouds were falling on their foreheads and flowing down and covering their bodies. Some were slain in the spirit and laid in the field, singing and praising the Lord in tongues. It was like the Upper Room, different languages from different nationalities. I then saw the Lord Jesus Christ, and he was anointing each person. He was surrounded by angels. He said “Thank you for keeping your faith steadfast and for spreading the Holy Spirit so that they may recognize and know the gifts of my Holy Spirit. Each one of you is anointed and I have given each a special gift and charism. Use these gifts to further glorify my Father’s kingdom.”

“Pray for the youth, that they may return to my fold and learn and experience the joys of knowing Me and to forgo carnal and earthly living. Tell them of my mercy and forgiveness.”

“My beloved children, you should accept your trials, sufferings, sickness and challenges to help purify your souls and attain the heavenly kingdom. “ After listening to these words, I still continued to experience the strong anointing from the Lord….feeling lightheaded but felt very peaceful and joyful in my heart.

Pat O – Staten Island NY -   I was led to pray these scriptures:  Hosea 6: 1-2.  "Come and let us return to the Lord;  For He has torn, but He will heal us: He has stricken, but He will bind us up."

Lamentations 3: 22-23 "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed.  Because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning.  Great is your faithfulness.  The Lord is my portion says my soul.  Therefore I hope in Him.  It is good that one should hope and wait in Him.  It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord"."Lamentations 3: 55 - 57:  I called on you from the lowest pit You have heard my voice.  Do not hide your ear.  From my sighing from my cry for help. You draw near on the day I called on you and said do not fear!

Ann – Omaha NE - My child, thank you for being with me tonight as you unite with others in My Name. Fear not. Let love rule your hearts and your life. United together you are doing what my Church forgets to do. Pray. Pray. Pray. There is much power in prayer. You live in a troubled and hurting world filled with so much sadness. The balm is prayer. If only people would STOP doing and just STOP to pray in quiet to hear MY VOICE. The world is pulling so hard to keep you ‘busy” and distracted from ME. This time that you give to Me is powerful though you do not see the fruits directly; know that in your life there will be signs of blessings sent as gifts from Me. You will know. Fill your life with love and continue to stop daily for quiet prayer. My Child I love you and as you honor ME so I honor you. I hear your prayers and take them to My Heart for you.

Pattie - North Carolina - Last night’s PTI was an enjoyable time with the Lord for twenty minutes.  At one point, sitting with my eyes closed, I realized that I was “fluttering” my hands around in the air.  After that, two lovely Korean women whom I had met earlier in the day after Mass, came to my awareness.  Then there were thoughts of ‘a suite to block infrared detection’.  This was followed by worshiping the Lord with His many names by which we call Him. 

Ciria and the Fresno Group. Last night’s PTI (Power Tongues International), was extraordinary. We came repenting of our ugly ways, bad attitudes, greed, selfishness, bragging ways, pride, self-pity, resentments, bitterness, arguments, criticism, poor performances, failures, weaknesses, deeply hidden sin. We are not worthy and we know it. The Lord gave us great revelation of the love and power, he means for us to have. The power is more than speaking in tongues.....much more...

Melina - Fresno - I felt the strong spirit of the lord surrounding my heart from any past pain. I thanked God for my rewards academically; the love from my family, and all the mercy and peace the lord gives me whenever I’m not feeling okay. I also thanked the lord for everyday that he breathes life into me. “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”—1Chronicles 16:34.

Ciria - Fresno - I saw a vision tonight. There was a vast space of land in front of me. Some of it was filled with mountainous rock and grown over with trees and grass and brush. Suddenly, I could see through six feet under the surface of the ground and there were the dead, wrapped in their death clothes. I heard the word of the Lord speak to the dead and they began to stir and move about. Some managed to stand and others struggled with their death shrouds. Soon the ones who had managed to free themselves, reached out to others and helped them to free themselves. The dead came out of their graves and were restored to a righteous state and regeneration. Interpretation: The vast land is the spiritual condition of the earth. The dead are those who hear the voice of the Lord and are filled with the Spirit. They are over comers and their testimonies the struggle with the carnal mind and their mortal body. John 5:28-30: “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. Rev 3: 4-6: Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Jude 1:23 snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. Romans 5:12-20 Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ. Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned— for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Maya, Fresno - First I read the scripture John 3:19. ” And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and man loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil”. Then afterward I received a vision. There were two buildings holding up the ends of the bridge and people were crossing the bridge slowly and skillfully. I looked down and saw many, many people below the bridge crying and in great sorrow. I tried to interpret the vision. The bridge is the trials of life and the pit at the bottom was sin where people gave up and jumped into sin. The scripture clarified my vision.

Ronald, Fresno - I Lamentations 1 and Nehemiah 4:1-3

Twyla, Fresno - My prayer tonight started with my personal trails and fears that I am faced with. I need a breakthrough to the Lord regarding these matters to get clarity. I have been struggling with my shortcomings and facing the effects that they have had on my life. While I was praying I saw a white fluffy lamb standing in pure blackness . The lamb was confused. The lamb was trying to adjust to the darkness surrounding her. The lamb began to cry out in fear and anxiety and became distressed and began to struggle to stand upright. Then I saw a pair of hands come out of the darkness and there was great light that that shown on the lambs face. And the lamb walked up into the hands of the Lord. Then I realized that fearful lamb was me. Then the Lord took me into his arms and held me against his chest like a new born baby. And he said, I love you my little lamb. Be strong through your trails and fear not, you are not alone. Even though you travel through times of darkness you are in my hands always. I asked him for forgiveness for not trusting in his hands and arms to carry me even through the darkest of times.

Bryanna - Fresno - As I prayed I kept hearing, " lay down your will for my will (1 Cor 7:22), show love to those who offend you, loose them. Bind up your flesh and submit yourself to me" (Eph. 4:26, Mat 18:18, 1 Cor. 13). What I gather from this experience is that the Lord is trying to set us free from the bitterness and resentment that bind up our hearts and cause us to sin when we act out in anger. Giving up our will allows us to live wholly in Christ. Otherwise we would die in our sins.

David - Fresno - I Timothy 4: 1-3 - Do not be led away from the faith that I have put in your heart by the fire of my spirit. So many fall away from true doctrine by false opinions. The opinions are brought in by suggestion of Satan the father of lies. Such a great number call themselves by my name and have given ear to the messengers that speak these lies. Listen to your spirit because it bears witness against them. Do not err from the true doctrines of God. Many heretics have counterfeited the truth of Gods holiness and have no conscience about it. They mesmerize the sheep and rob them. Practicing the arts of deception and have nothing in them that resembles shame or remorse. They preach another “Jesus” and not Jesus the Christ, who bled and died for our sin. If you put your faith in another gospel, another Jesus, another Spirit you have believed in vain. These false apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, and priests teach against the core doctrines of the faith, whether explicitly or implicitly, we are to admonish them once or twice, and if they do not repent we are to reject them as heretics. Scripture says we are to keep the faith and guard against false doctrines.

Ciria, Fresno: In Conclusion: study Galatians: 1:1-24

 
Jane – Raleigh NC - I was driving home from a friend's house at the same time - did join in prayer, and received the inspiration of our need to wait in prayer for the Lord's direction.  And the need for focus on listening for His guidance - which comes, but as many say, in whispers and in unexpected places.

Sherraline – India - I had an image of Jesus with His two hands outstretched, pointing to two things. On the left was a fetus in a jar, floating around in formaldehyde. The lid on the jar was tightly closed. The jar was set on what looked like a museum table, and people were looking at it, marveling at the fetus, even though it was dead. On the right was Our Lady, and she was pregnant. The infant in her womb, Jesus, was alive and well.  The image spoke to me of a true and false church. On the right, Our Lady, (model of the true Church), who always brings Life. It was a reminder to stay connected to the Church, the true Vine, no matter what, for apart from it, there can be no Life. The fetus in the jar on the left spoke to me of a false church, one that has broken away from the Vine (not connected to the womb of the Church anymore). The lid on the jar spoke of control. The false church is all about control. The fetus (the fruit), even though it looks like the real thing, has no life. The second thing that struck me about the image was that the fetus in the jar seemed surrounded by light, but it was a false light. Jesus in the womb, by contrast, was surrounded by the darkness of the womb, and He seemed to be saying that we are not to fear the darkness. In the darkness, the suffering, the true treasures of the Church would shine forth once again, the treasures of the Father's Heart.

 

Heart of Jesus Prayer Community – Glendale CA

Lita – Glendale CA - Saw bright light spinning; it became brighter, then formed into a cross, then it faded away. Then there was light on the other side, also formed into a cross, which became bigger.

Zenny – Glendale CA - First I saw a big white dove above us, with its wings spread out then it sort of bent to protect us. Then I saw a brook with calm running water, it was so clear I could see the stones and pebbles. Alongside were tall green trees. Then I heard “I bring peace and tranquility.”

Rolando – Glendale CA - I confirm that. I also saw the dove and the clouds, full of clouds enveloping us. The Shekinah glory of God.

Donna - Glendale CA - Mine was message of peace, peace be with you. At first I saw a whole bunch of people at a shore by the lake; it was not an ocean, but a lake and there were little rocks as Zenny saw in a stream. I was under the impression that it was at one of the churches in the Holy Land that we visited when I was on a pilgrimage there. I think it was where Jesus lit a fire to feed the apostles at the beach. I think that’s where it was, right on the beach and there is a church. I saw us and a whole bunch of people standing on that shore. The Lord was standing above us and the rays were coming down, sort of like the rays of the Divine Mercy and there was peace. It became cloudy, then sunny, cloudy then sunny. Then I saw another place I went to many years ago, which is an isle of Bayona, which is off the coast of Scotland. I have never been so cold and wet in my life. It was a nasty piece of land, a tiny island off the Gulf of the Atlantic. They made a monastery of it. The whole message is peace. Toward the end, I feel like the Lord is saying, “Remember your place in the communion of saints, not just us here, but we are part of a much larger community.” The message kept repeating – peace be with you, peace be with you whether it is cloudy or sunny or stormy or rainy.

Barbara – Glendale CA - I saw all my friends when I was little, most of them have died. My adult friends, it was just like passing vision.

Evelyn – Glendale CA - I saw God sitting on His throne. Then it changed and I saw Jesus in a vast field, the sun shining. The field was yellow and green, field of yellow flowers. Jesus was standing in the middle dressed in white. The only word I heard was forgiveness. I don’t know what it means but I sensed it was forgiveness for us. I did not sense that we need or I need to forgive but the blessing of forgiveness.

Raffy – Glendale CA - I saw an eagle flying; then it went down, and picked up a fish.

Evelyn – Glendale CA - Another thing too that I heard was that it is time for harvest. When He was standing on that field with all those beautiful flowers – it is ready for harvest.

Liz - Scranton, PA - My people, hear my voice, know my love for you has no bounds. You are my chosen ones; I have called you by name. Peace is my gift to you that you may know the love of the Father. Come to the table of plenty and be fed; no one shall be hungry; no one shall thirst. I am the Lord your God. Hope in Me and I will never disappoint you.

July – Venezuela – First had a vision of an eye, then later could see Jesus’ face, then
the whole body with the heart of Jesus. He came closer to me, first his face then the right eye, until his eye was put in mine. Sense that we are receiving new Jesus vision. We are so much in love with Him.

Lucy – Maryland - I felt at peace and heard, “Open your eyes to see My wonders, Open your ears to heard the music in nature, Open your mind to know My greatness, Open your heart to feel My love.  Be thankful for the little things.  My peace be with you, I journey with you always and will carry you when you are tired and over burdened.

Closing Prayer – Father God, we lift these words up to you and ask that you would take what is from your heart and let it bear fruit. That which was from our own thoughts, let it be washed away in your love. Teach us to listen. Teach us to respond. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.June 3, IS NEXT PTI SESSION.
