Power Tongues notes 11/4/2012

Linda - When we started, I first saw tremendous fear that had been unleashed. Lord reminding us that perfect love casts out all fear. Then drawn to devastation in eastern U.S., heard the Lord say that it may call up devastation in your own history; let the remembrance come; surrender it to me and I will lift it from you. Look at the storms, kept hearing the Lord say, ‘hold steady’ over and over.

Theresa – Got something similar – psalm 1 – saw circular saw – that is what God is doing, splitting things on different levels, exposing things on many angles, things aren't what they seem. Saw smoke rising, like pictures of September 11 (in New York), buildings fell, death came. Began to pray for body of Christ that we would see clearly through the smoke, keep our eyes on Jesus, he’s the truth, he will remain, when the dust settles, we will see him…message is he will remain. Psalm 1 – get text. Also psalm 2 – Lord sits on his throne…

Betty – Saw threshing machine, peasant woman hitting wheat on floor – separate wheat from chaff. Lord said, ‘You will see clearly the ones who are standing with me, you will know clearly the good from the evil, those who are with me and those who are against me. Separate within yourselves also, to separate and take away all that is evil, not of me, to separate the chaff to come with purity of body, heart, mind, and soul. All that will remain is the perfect kernel of wheat that is love; when all is taken away through the threshing, all that is left is love’.

Shelly – Saw puppets, all of us as puppets, and instructed to cut the string; that we are to stand on our own. Cut the strings and at first we were wobbly but then got our footing, stood strong. Lord said ‘stand on your own’, that we are to focus totally on Him, not think about the other people, not think about whatever is distracting us, our thoughts, our surroundings. Then sensed woosh of Holy Spirit, saw image like an atom bomb, but not destructive, like power of Holy Spirit coming out of the power tongues group and spreading through world.

John – vision of Jesus, mother Mary and Joseph over very dark field. They were in sky over field, Jesus as baby. Very peaceful even though it was dark. Light shown down on an innocent lamb in the field. The lamb was very calm. After awhile light went to a mother holding a young child, everything else dark, words that came to mind ‘resist the devil and he will flee from you’. That scripture kept coming to mind.

Susan – Focus on Him, keep praying, keep focus on Him. He knows everything in our lives, what’s going on, the storms, etc. He kept saying to focus on Him even in the storm, not to be distracted, focus on Him.

Mary Ellen - Thought of Chicken Little – person who is terrified because she thinks the sky is falling – because of their fear they all run into the mouth of the real danger. Applying it to today, as we fear what outcomes might be out there from governments, etc. But the Lord says, ‘don’t be afraid of him who can only hurt the body, keep your eyes on the one who can hold you safe ….” The seed falls on the ground and dies, springs back up.

Betty – second image was of a pan flute, the Lord said ‘sing praise because I dwell in your praises’ no matter what’s happening, praise.

Adrienne – Saw Jesus’ heart, then saw his heart break with jagged edges in middle. Heard ‘my people are so divided’ – thought of scripture of fathers against children, etc. This is time of repentance. Then saw a person walking on path, dark path but she could see her way, then saw little cottage. He’s calling us to come away with him, to not be distracted. Then saw map of US, saw tiers of people in rows from east coast to west coast, shrouded in darkness; as kept praying, saw that as a nation we’re still wrapped in darkness. Then looked at sky, it was night so dark, but saw huge star, reminded of star that led to nativity. Like it had diamonds all around it, it was beautiful – word was ‘this is the star of evangelization, this was Mary, we are to stay close to her and she will lead us in to a deeper union with her son.

John – hearing – “Submit only and completely to the Lord, there is no place for fear, submit completely to the Lord.”

Rod – We are called to intercede, pray, love. Word “conversion” was prominent in prayer. Thought of scripture that Jesus came to help those who are sick.

PTI Partners

Liz - Scranton PA - As I prayed the Prayer of Preparation, "I bind my whole person...to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ." I heard: "Do you know what you are asking, to be bound to Me?" This was a moment of amazing peace."See what the Lord has done for you. As he delivered the people of Abraham from slavery, so shall he deliver you from the deadly slavery of the world. The Lord keeps his promises. The Lord delivers those who believe in Jesus. They will win victory over the world." Reading: 1 John 5:1-12.

Sion - Cerritos, CA - “ Only those who hear my voice can be called my servant. Keep up the faith, despite the worldly challenges, know that the prize of heavenly glory is near and close to those who hear my voice and do my Father’s will. Joy and peace of mind can come in full faith knowing that my Father knows best for your being.”

Michelle - North Carolina – “Do not be burdened by trivial matters, but bestow My grace and My peace among My people. Though destruction and terrors may come, do not be afraid, but console one another and in My kinship you shall be comforted with my peace. Adhere to the laws established by the Lord and refrain from evil doings. Encompass my word and its’ relevance on your life. Distinguish not the evils, but know in your heart that My will shall be revealed and upon the rock of My salvation water shall flow to cleanse the earth of immoralities and pain. Refreshing water shall be the key to understanding and believing the things I shall tell you. Overcome the way of the earth’s so called “truths” ;and I shall give you the knowledge and wisdom. The truth shall lead to eternal bliss in My kingdom. Many a day shall you see the sorrows and strife of my people, but be strong in knowing that all this shall pass. These abominations shall open your eyes and reveal to you My truth. The sins of the world can and shall be revoked and penance and sorrow shall open the door to My everlasting love.” Vision: Jesus walks over many large rocks and boulders. His feet are worn and blistered, but he keeps moving forward. Know that help is on the way.

Heart of Jesus Prayer Community – Glendale CA

Donna – Glendale CA - I saw the enclosure of a cloister with a garden in the middle with an arch where people can walk and I saw all of us walking around and there were other people too, and there were people who are solid like us. Then there were others who were there but I really could not see them, and I did not hear anything and that was all I saw. It was like we were praying with a bunch of people, people who have died and gone before us, maybe, and I just felt peace and it was quiet, like it would be if you were in a monastery, just away from the city. I don’t remember hearing crickets or anything. Just quiet.

Barbie - Glendale CA - I confirm that. I did not see anything but there was peace.

Roland (Bro. Oks) – Glendale CA - What I saw was family reconciliation. I saw the family of my brother and there was forgiveness and reconciliation. It was really nice to see family get back together. It was like a celebration.

Evelyn – Glendale CA - When we were praying, I kept seeing Jesus dressed like the Sacred Heart, like the picture I have at home that comes from the Feast of the Sacred Heart. Then it switched – I saw Calvary but I could not see the Cross, it was not there, the sun was behind it, brilliant sun and then I heard “Come to me those who are weary. I will refresh you with living water. I kept praying and praying and then I heard Bro. Oks say “Lord have mercy”. And then I heard again “Mercy”. After that I felt the presence of Jesus. I felt that I was wrapped in a warm thing like somebody was carrying me. I felt it was God and then I heard the word “Peace” and “Hope”. It was like a movie, you see these scenes.

Nerio – Glendale CA - It is like I saw what is happening back East, (the storm Sandy). I was yelling at this people because I did not see on TV that they went to Church, so I was yelling to them “why don’t you pray”. I saw them getting food and things but did not see them go to Church so I was yelling at them.

Zenny – Glendale CA - What I saw were faces and those are the people I have been praying for. It was like a film; then I heard the Lord say “Indeed I am with you when you gather in my Name”. Then later on there was silence, then I saw Him extend His hands and said “ Come to me who are heavily burdened and I will refresh you. “ Confirming what Evelyn heard.

Maura – North Carolina - I spent most of the time praising. The scripture I got was about separating ourselves from those who worship idols.

Jackie – North Carolina – After spending time praying in tongues on Sunday night, what kept coming to me is "My heart weeps because of the people who do not love me. Oh they say they love me, but they turn away from my principles. Still, I love them. I want them to turn away from their sins, and repent. I have given you free will and I will not violate your free will by forcing you to choose life, love and liberty. The choice is yours. I ask you who love me, to love those who have gone against me. Do not be bitter or hold grudges against them. Instead keep them in your prayers that their souls may be saved. Know that I love you, I love all of my creation. I see all hearts. I hear, listen and answer your prayers that are in accordance with my will. I will always bless those who bless and love me."

Fresno Prayer Community – We are so blessed through our trials. What a difference it makes to received our trials as blessings. This is a gift with peace to endure them, for his names' sake and for our growth and building up of our faith. There is none who can endured as Christ did his punishment taken for us. Nor is there one who brought the victory over death and the grave as Jesus has. For this we are grateful, for trials. God Bless you and thank you for praying faithfully each month and each day.

Ciria - Fresno CA - I saw stars like great lights falling down from the heavens onto the earth and greater lights coming up from the earth itself which combined with the light from the heavens.. The light increased and became a great storm of light. Confirmed in Ezk 1:4 “As I watched, a great storm-wind came from the North, a large cloud with flashing fire, a bright glow all around it,” This is the manifestations of the glory of the Lord, the earth his footstool was surrounded with his presence. The Lord lightens the hearts of men. Their darkness comes because men do not love the truth. The Lord is looking for a committed people. He finds the heart that searches for God, humbles itself and gives itself without reservation to the creator. God inspires men and gives understanding (John 32:8). God gives to a man that is good in his sight: wisdom, knowledge and joy. But to the sinner he gives them travail, to gather up and heap up, that he may give to him that is good. Ez 2:26. Also: Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; Fear God and keep His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Is 50:4, Luke 11:9.

Melina - Fresno CA - Lord I am so grateful for the joy of the love and closeness of my family, happiness from my friends, and for the new positive outlooks on my college education. This whole month took a huge turn for me in a positive way. Thank you lord for the endless opportunities that come. Give me strength to hold these “treasures” in my life.

I got: Psalms 61:1-5 Hear, O God, my supplication; heed my prayer. From the end of the earth to You I call; when my heart is faint, lead me to a rock high above me. For indeed You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of an enemy. I would dwell in Your tent forever, take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. For indeed You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given an inheritance (to) those who fear Your name. Heal my great-grandpa from the cancer living in his body. Strengthen him to over-come this illness. Also help my mother become less vulnerable to the enemies in this world who want to take advantage of her. Help her have clear thoughts and desire the truth and wisdom through you Lord.

Maya – Fresno CA - Confirming: I am thankful to the Lord for my life and family and gifts. I received 1Samuel 15:29 He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a man, that he should change his mind." I had a vision of a large blue flames and it made me feel like I was cleansed, like a baptism with fire. Stars were falling into the flames, which moved like a sea.

Bryanna - Fresno - Let us feel the deep remorse for our sin. The heart will become sick. Turn to the Lord in times of trial and keep your mind stayed on Him. The Lord himself will declare and confirm his own children, and not a single one is lost. He will draw us under his shadow where we are hid. Lay no conditions upon the Lord he will keep those he has saved. Let not your heart be troubled or afraid, the Lord is able to keep what we have committed unto him, against the day of provocation. Lord hear our prayer for a soft heart and clean heart, and a right spirit, therefore we hide His Word in our hearts, and we will not sin against the Lord.

Ron - Fresno - Daniel 2

Fleeta – Fresno - Received a word of encouragement regarding trials. Lord we lift your name in praise for the strength we find in you and through your name.

Twyla - Fresno - In my prayers I saw a vivid image of a red dragon; he had a huge wing spanned. The dragon was suspended above the earth; the dragon began to take hold of the earth below with his claws. Then the dragon waved his wings and began to move upward and as he did that the land gave under the pressure and began to break apart I could see and feel the heat of the fire from the center of the earth. The dragon would move to and fro and continue to take sections of the earth one piece at a time. I also saw an ocean and a large object was breaking waves on the water and when it came to the surface of the water there was a bright blue light that shot out of the water like a laser straight into the sky the light illuminated the clouds and atmosphere.

Jane – Raleigh - North Carolina - I started with asking for forgiveness and guidance for a situation that had me perplexed that occurred earlier in the day, and within moments I was speaking in tongues. A clear, distinct thought came to me that the incident was orchestrated by an evil influence, and resolution would come through recognition of this mischief and a more Christ-like attitude in coming to a respectful agreement with this other party. (As a note, after the incident I was drawn to listening to a discussion on demons, but didn't put things together till our praying.) I felt strongly prompted to participate in our power prayer. I am so grateful I did follow this prompting as this situation had really disturbed my peace of mind. Thank you all for being there for me and with me. Praise God in all His goodness.


Closing Prayer: Lord we return these words to you. Let that which is from you take root and produce fruit. That which is from our own mind and circumstances, let it be washed away in your perfect love. Teach us to pray, to listen, to respond in your love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Reminder: Next power tongues time is Sunday, December 2.
