Power Tongues notes 2/3/2013

Home PTI Team

Theresa – Heard Lord say, “If I be lifted up I will draw all men to me and I will draw you with a 3-fold cord that cannot be broken.” The cords were Him showing us His love for us. Prayed that he would give us the grace to fall more in love with him – it is a grace to love him, prayed that he would pour more love into us for him.

Linda - Image of fear, underground, spreading. Then heard scripture, “Perfect love casts out fear”. The more we prayed in tongues, a river of love began flowing underground and destroying roots of fear. Tongues prayer released the river. Had a sense of hope rising up.

Barbara – God said he is awakening the sleeping giant, cutting away the shackles and bondage, he’s already equipped us for this, now is the time we are set free. He has equipped us with what we need to set people free, revival going all over the country – the harvest is great and his people are ready.
Mary Ellen - Hallowed be thy name, Father, in all the earth.

Celine – In the catechism class of Father Barry, he teaches that the church is supported by pillars of prayer, in the monasteries, at Mass, etc. We are one of the pillars because we pray in tongues.

Adrienne – Saw binding of nation – saw flag, American flag – twisted. Other colors twisted in, represented unholy alliances, but part of the flag that showed was very white. Message was that many things were hidden that were unholy. As we prayed, saw desert, saw Holy Spirit come as dove, went straight to center of the twisted flag and with one pull of beak, he pulled it all free. Confirms Barbara’s word.

Linda – Kept hearing “It’s better than you think” – giving hope that our prayers are working.

Grace – Felt anguish and pain at first – then heard the word ‘misericordia’ (mercy) came – everything will be okay. Giving hope, confirms Linda’s word.

Betty -  Saw ship – bright red – everything red except sails that were white. Represented church, filled with people. Church is resting, held up by blood of martyrs – we need to thank the martyrs, ask for their prayers during this time, they have been through it. The ship was full of those firmly rooted in the faith. Going very fast because wind of Holy Spirit. No provision except Eucharist. People on both sides of shore jeering, blaspheming, but nobody on ship even noticed, ship just kept going. Rings on side of ship were all red too, except in center it was all diamonds. Diamonds represented the love that everyone had, the love of God, rings represented unending love of God. We were on the ship, we felt so safe, moving quickly, purposeful. We knew there was nothing to fear even with all the jeering from people on shore, we knew we were safe.

Shelly – Sensed a longing in God’s heart that we draw near to Him, that we would be as excited about Him as we are about things in this world, like football, to be more expressive of our faith, that He would be our first love.

Pat - Staten Island NY - I prayed and this is what I received: l come to you in the silence. I will calm all your fears. I will lift you up and place you where I need you. Just let me lead the way. Do not go before me. Wait patiently and treasure my Word. Isaiah 40:8. “Though the grass withers and the flower wilts, the word of our God stands forever.”

Pattie - Raleigh, NC: Psalm 138:8. "The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures. forever – do not abandon the works of your hands."( NIV). Joining the beautiful PTI community in Tongues worldwide last night at 10:00 PM, I sensed our Lord saying "Rest in ME." Rest is a weapon against the enemy. Then Judith MacNutt's words came to mind - praying in tongues for fifteen minutes has been shown to relieve stress! To this I say "Amen"!

Maura - North Carolina - After praising for 20 minutes I found myself declaring: "I love you , Lord." (Thinking of how we are in the world but not of the world) I said, "The self that is in Your Kingdom loves you, Lord. The self that is earthly loves you, Lord. These are not two different selves; there is just one me - I AM WHO I AM." When I said these last words, and recalled the Lord's answer to Abraham at the burning bush, the Lord gave me a new and mysterious knowledge and understanding of how it is that we are living in Jesus and Jesus is living in us and Jesus is living in the Father and the Father is living in Him.What I said, under the influence of the Spirit, is like what He said about Himself. It is a little difficult to explain.

Liz- Pennsylvania - I see Jesus standing near a shoreline. There are lines of people coming to see Him. I can't see the end of the line because there are so many people. Jesus is praying over each one. I feel that people are being set free from bondage. I hear the name of the region as Gerasenes. I sense the Lord saying that he desires us to continue His work in healing the sick by prayer and laying on of hands. We must ask: Do we make ourselves available to those that need prayer? He says: "Among the weakest, you will find the strongest. My love for all of you is great - stronger than any trial or temptation you face."

Madeleine - UK - Prayed in tongues and this is what I heard:"My children be still and feel my presence for I am always with you, I love you and you are mine, follow my footsteps and you will always be safe, give good example to others as there are many who need it and are longing to be shown the truth the way and the life!" I was then led to Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among nations, I will be exalted in the earth"

Jackie - North Carolina - During my power prayer time, the Lord kept speaking to my heart about the importance of forgiveness. No matter what anyone has done to hurt a person, they need to forgive that person in order for God to forgive them of their sins. Forgiveness often brings about a repentant heart, a heart that needs to be healed of many hurts. If we do not forgive, God cannot forgive us. It is that important. Unforgiveness could actually cause us to lose our salvation. Nothing is worth that. Teach your children to forgive. Unforgiveness is like a cancer that eats one up inside. Forgiveness not only frees us, but God blesses us.

Linda’s Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, we lift these precious words to you. Let all that is from you, take root and produce much fruit. That which was only from our own minds, let it be washed away in your love. Teach us to listen, and to respond in a way that pleases you. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
