Theresa – John 15:5 “I am the vine you are the branches” – For much of the prayer time I saw dirt, fertile soil. Our prayers were planting deep seeds into rich fertile soil. They grew into vines. Healthy vines. Because they are attached to the Spirit of God they grew and spread all over the world. Attached to all the other people praying, our vines were being shared. They began to emerge from the dirt and blossomed. We were picking fruit, bearing fruit all over world.
Linda S – Heard “We’re making lasting footprints.” Also, Lord saying “Stop being preoccupied with filth and grime and all the unfinished business all around; lift your eyes up and begin to thank me even if you don’t see the results. I see what’s around the corner even if you don’t.” Sensed PTI is a work party. Also because we’re doing this, putting out our notes on website, other hidden groups are picking up the concept and doing their own groups. We may never even know about them. God is calling forth these work parties, calling forth establishment of prayer sessions in faithfulness and integrity.
Barbara - Because of our faithfulness to coming here, he has angels waiting for the asking for all our needs; because we are faithful and committed to this gathering.
Denise – kept seeing popes, various popes, morphing into each other, praying for our pope and his intentions. Saw clumps of brown and green, not sure if dirt or green soil – it was horrid stuff coming out, it was reparations, might have been along with Theresa’s word of tilling the soil – Sirach 24:16-17 – “Like a terebinth I spread out my branches, and my branches are glorious and graceful. Like the vine I bud forth delights, and my blossoms become glorious and abundant fruit.” Confirms Theresa's word.
Bob – Received that we are supposed to be praying for the pope and listen to what he is saying; it’s extremely important.
Adrienne – Denise’s reading is also reference to Eucharist. Saw rough brown wooden cross, it was in the ground. On ends were beautiful green crystal/quartz balls on the ends. Message was “thank me” – thanked him for each of us here, thanked him for the gifts he’s giving us in the Eucharist often taken for granted – as kept praying, saw vine coming, and eventually completely covered cross in green. Then saw bands around our country and around the world – silver in beginning then turned into light – it was the prayer that pope Francis began today brings new life around the world. Great graces given through pope’s prayer today.
Betty – Saw large white butterfly, very delicate, wings were so delicate that it couldn’t fly because wind would have torn wings apart. The wings had holes in them. Then saw rainbow, yellow was largest color, it touched the ground, it was God’s promise of new life. Colors broke apart into tiny pieces that fit perfect into holes in butterfly. It was the prayers of the continents around the world filling the wings of the butterfly. It could fly because of God’s promised answer – yellow so much larger because of the promise of the hope of the faithful, the ones who will not stop praying, the priests, religious.
Linda M – Saw angels dancing, so happy, because we are together and praying for his purposes. Great joy for what we are doing. Romans 8:1-4: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and to deal with sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”
Shelly – Saw false teachers standing on pedestals with cloaks so they looked bigger than life. They were telling people untruth, watering down the truth, graying things so people were wooed into believing it was the truth. We came with our prayers and knocked them down –saw us knock down the pedestals with baseball bats and tear off their cloaks. The people saw that the false teachers were just regular people; they were not what they claimed to be. Then tabernacle opened with wonderful glow, then Monstrance on Altar with Jesus present – glowed amazing glow – first just faithful were there worshiping, then more and more came and realized they had received false teaching before but now they were getting the true Jesus. More and more came, church overflowed. False teachers were outside trying to lead astray but people knew truth now.
Mary Ellen – Thinking of all the suffering of the children that die, those displaced in the middle east – we each have problems, but God has opportunities – heard the song “the steadfast love of the Lord never fails …” Lamentations 3:22 - 23 – “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end, they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Rod – Vision of this place as a big workshop, precious gems, tools on a table. The Lord was saying that sometimes we have preconceived ideas of what we’re supposed to pray but sometimes there are some interior things to be taken care of too. This is his workshop and he is doing a work in us, delicately cutting each gem, even as we pray for the concerns of the world. There is going to be some suffering but he will be there all along, he will take care of us, gentle care of us, as he’s doing this. When he’s done, we will be finished for what he has planned for us.
Adrienne – He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.
Mike – God was pleased with our trying to please him. Heard the Lord say, “There will always be work to be done; be patient. No matter what you do, you’re doing it to me, not for me, but to me.” That’s our reward when we see him in heaven, all the things we are wondering about, are all in his plan.
Linda S – We are being formed in the fire – remembered a time I was in a glass blowing shop in Venice some years ago and seeing the glass being shaped in the fire. He is forming us in the fire.

Madeleine – London UK - After praying in tongues this is what I saw. Big crowd on a mountain, Jesus was teaching us not to let pride stop us from asking Him for forgiveness, as He spoke, we all knelt down and asked Him to forgive all our present and past sins, by shouting them out to Him, to which he answered "I do!" As soon as He said this we suddenly saw a carpet of snakes running away from us and jumping over the edge of the mountain into fields of fire never to be seen again. We thank you Jesus for your unending love and mercy!
Pattie - Raleigh, NC - Heard the Lord say, “It is imperative that you learn My Voice, and obey it completely.”
Sion – Cerritos CA - For I know the plans I have for you. Have faith in me in your transgressions and I will reveal to you ways and means unimaginable and unheard of in dimensions. Only those who call me Lord can hear my voice for I speak to them through their clean hearts. Love can be attained with full forgiveness of your neighbor. You might ask who is my neighbor Lord? Look around you to discern who your neighbor could be; your spouse, children, in laws, co-workers, people who may not get along well. Forgive them and carry forth with your clean hearts to evangelize my people.
Pat - Staten Island NY - This is what the Lord gave me. “Here I am. I wait for you to receive me and all I have for you. Come to me often and cherish my words. Small steps gain giant leaps when you stay close to me. Do not let your thoughts bog you down. Let my thoughts come in and you will know my love for you. My love never ceases.”
Ciria – Fresno CA - Dearest Power Tongues prayer warriors: Our time together was so blessed. As much of us here are related by blood, not just Spirit, our family is walking the last mile of my dad’s (Richard) life. We thought he had weeks, but we are told he has days. So our hearts are heavy as we pray for him, and our spirits rejoice that he has a home with Jesus. A good man, remember his name during your daily prayer. God bless you all. Balm of Gilead Jeremiah 8:22. Christ is the “balm” and The Balm of Gilead” is metaphorically used to describe something with healing or soothing power. Jeremiah made a plea for healing. The balm is the healing against snakes and scorpions. Although the illustrations are ancient, they are unusual pictures for any day or age. The Bible says, "The heavens declare the glory of God. . . ." (Psalm 19:1-4) This is true in many ways. The heavens portray the Creator's majesty and power on a grand scale, but it seems they also declare the coming and work of the Savior, who, himself, is the "glory of God" (2 Cor. 4:6). The pictures will be used to illustrate the work of Jesus in becoming our Balm of Gilead. As you read the scriptures, please keep in mind that Satan is portrayed in the Bible as a serpent and a lion, in addition to other metaphors (names). Nature's balm illustrates the spiritual balm in a beautiful and graphic way. Jesus the fragrance of life (2 Cor. 2:16) and our highly desirable bridegroom (Song of Solomon 1:2). But the most important attribute of the spiritual balm of Gilead is this: Jesus is the antidote for sin and Satan's "sting of death." When Jesus died, Satan believed he had the victory -- but in reality, he had only stung the heel of the Son of God (1 Cor. 15:54-57). God resurrected Jesus with great power (Romans 1:4). By conquering death's sting, Jesus became the antidote or balm that heals our wounds and protects us. He is the tree of life whose leaves are "for the healing of the nations" (Rev. 22:2). By the power of God, Jesus became the first fruits of the resurrection (1 Cor. 15:20). At the end of time, all those who have been led by faith to participate in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ by baptism will also be raised, never to die -- for they are resting in the One who is the antidote for death (Romans 6:3-10). Death is the last enemy to be destroyed (1 Cor. 15:26), and Jesus is the Seed promised since the beginning of time who can do it. He alone has the "treading power" referred to throughout the Bible. On the day of judgment, we will see Jesus complete the final act of victory. Loved and protected, we will stand in amazement, as the God of peace crushes Satan (death) under our feet (Romans 16:20). Jesus conquered death and was given the keys over Hell, Death, and the Grave: Revelation 1:18. And Jesus can, and does, give the keys to the kingdom (the Word of God) to his ministry to deliver to the people:“And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matt 16:19 )“And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.” ( Isaiah 22:22).
Melina - Fresno, CA - God has blessed us with a plan and a promise to live a free eternal life after we die. Tonight I experienced a little bit of how it may feel after we die. I felt complete joy and when I thought about my great grandpa I felt no worry or grief, I felt comfort. I didn't see much but soft white cloudy sparkles, and I can almost hear a small voice preaching and assuring that grandpa will be safe and be at peace. I not only feel shocked and sadness, I also feel peace.
Twyla - Fresno, CA - I was lead to read Job 7. “What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?”
Bryanna - Fresno CA - I felt blessed by Psalms 29.
Maya - Fresno CA - I saw a drawing on paper with a beautiful outcome. Things in nature move like a river, and pools. Creation is like a bright light and it shines at its core. Communities of believers contain luminous light embedded. Death on the earth is a new beginning, song of joy, and rest for us.
Ron - Fresno CA - It is good to be a blessing father not a cursing father. The father’s blessing will greatly affect a child’s life. A father’s blessing will not penetrate a sealed casket.
Martina – West Virginia - "My children this day keep your focus on Me ,encourage more to participate in Power tongues as many blessings are derived as a result,each participant is special to Me".
I saw a thick rope drop down from heaven and many souls holding onto it from earth,these were the people who participated in power tongues.
Virginia – Santa Barbara CA - Picked up discouragement: Do not be disheartened. I am near you and with you, persevere. Walk through the death of the mundane and into life with My Holy Spirit who leads you into all truths. You are my children, My beloved, I call you to be one with me. The word reminded me of Psalms 23 with the promise "You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Liz – Pennsylvania - Song: This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.
Reading: Sirach 14:20-27 Happy the man who meditates on Wisdom." Listen, my children, be prepared, for the Spirit searches the world for hearts where he may find rest. No one should think they cannot be a home for the Spirit. Each of you will be empowered to be my witnesses. Prepare yourself by fasting and prayer, meditating on my love. You are called to be a home for the Spirit."
Closing prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for inviting us to be a home for your Spirit. Teach us your ways, and we will walk in your truth. Let each of the words spoken here that you have spoken through your people take root and produce much fruit. Anything that is not of you, let it be forgotten. Teach us how to listen, and how to respond. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Next session is July 2, 2013
