Power Tongues notes for Aug 2, 2015

PTI Home Team

Bob – Received the word “mercy”. The Lord was asking us to contemplate on his mercy and how his mercy is in our lives and how we bring his mercy into the world.

Linda S  – Saw many, many pathways coming together. Heard word “unity in diversity.” Saw many little circles in big circle. Heard Lord saying “I am strengthening my people for diverse work.”

Rose – Many would say that the ministry of my spirit is dead, gone but watch my power still move through the Spirit.  The Spirit still teaches, still consoles, still counsels.  Watch, be aware, listen to how my Spirit wants to move, is moving among you, in your communities and church.

Rose – continued - Holy Spirit move in me, move through me, in any way or form. We lay down our formats, our structures, move in your way to heal exhort, restore, and comfort. And in all you do and in who you are.

Barbara - Heard the Lord say “My heart is open with great love when this group of love comes before me in unity and prayer."

Rod – Our prayers are like stepping stones building the kingdom of God. Keep up what you’re doing. Don’t let your time be idle. Continue to pray.  Philipians 4:5, “Your kindness should be known to all, his kindness is near.” People sometimes leave church because they see a ‘mean’ God, we need to be ‘clever’ to share his love.

Theresa – 2 Corinthians 10:4 – St. Paul says we crush strongholds.  Began to pray for each of us, that whatever strongholds we have we can surrender.  Lord was wielding sword, like  laser surgery when they go in and blast a tumor and then vacuum it out.  Destroying fortresses, deconstructing, dismantling fortresses.  We claim it for everyone here and that  it will go out to everyone we pray for.  He is filing us with his word, his treasures.  Each of us are rich and full.

Candida – Generations.  Saw picture of globe, oceans, ships moving in routes across ocean. Then saw the feet of women who were left behind on island, at edge of sea, saw ocean wave coming to toes, they are praying. They are crying out to the Lord, for their loneliness, sadness, melancholy, having been left ashore, but because of their pain they are drawn to pray for those away from them.  Praying for their children. Their prayer is flowing through generations, a thousand generations.  The Lord is saying, " I will love."  Blessing flows throughout the generation, from the prayers of our need, from our sadness.  We draw close to the Lord and he blesses for generations.

Linda M  - Sensed the Lord really wants each of us to come to him and rest our head on his shoulder.  He said, “Tell me what is on your mind, and I will listen and I will act. I always listen carefully and act. Be at peace for I am with you. There’s nothing I wouldn’t give you, just ask.”

Celine – As I was praying, I was led to say twice the Hail Mary.  Asked Blessed Mary what is her intention.  Her answer was ‘To be reverent to the name of Jesus'.  She doesn’t want to be forgotten.

Mike – We need to listen more; He wants to tell us more. We need to set aside more time for prayer, where we can open our hearts to Him.  He can tell us many things we don’t know. He desires to tell us. We need to seek the face of God more. Pray to protect each one.

Ingrid – ‘freedom’ freedom in Christ , freedom in Him.  He sent out invitation for us to come to him, to receive that freedom, in him. Confirm what Theresa and Candida said about it, that freedom is not just for us but generation to generation to come. He has so much to offer and to give to us, but not many people are willing to receive, but he is willing to give. He is seeking for the heart that is open to receive him.

Adrienne – Prayer of praise and thanksgiving.  Heard the Lord say,  ‘I open the floodgates of grace’, then just praying for those graces to be received.

Shelly – Prayed for wisdom in our sharing of Jesus truth.  Prayed for wisdom to know how to balance love, mercy, and truth/calling of life of Christ.  Prayed for each person here and saw Jesus come and lay hands on each one, and empower us with the Holy Spirit.  Saw image of someone making candy at the stove.  The temperature is very important for making candy.  Too cool and it will not form properly, too hot and it will be ruined.  Different candy needs different temperature.  Understand that to mean the God will set the flame properly in each situation, our job is to monitor the pot, to be sensitive to each situation and trust Him to bring it to the right temperature.  Sometimes sharing His truth and laws means roaring like a lion, sometimes it is in quiet understanding. He will show us. We need to stay sensitive to His presence in each situation  with each person, and he will give the wisdom to share in the right way.

Madeleine - London UK - The message I got after prayer was "Pray for those who do not know me, who do not know my love for them. I love you my children, you are blessed, I am always with you, watching you, loving you."

Michelle - I have had a strong sense of the word "watchmen"...for us to have our eyes open and to be diligent and discerning of events in the near future. That what may seem like peace, joy and happiness will only be a deception. Also felt we must be watchful of decisions we make and how easily we may think we are condoning or supporting what is right and that it may look good on the outside; but  this may be also be a false deception. Jeremiah 6:14

Jeremiah 6:13-15 For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is greedy for gain, And from the prophet even to the priest Everyone deals falsely. They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, 'Peace, peace,' But there is no peace. Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done? They were not even ashamed at all; They did not even know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time that I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD.…

1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Ezekial 33: 3-6 And if he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people, then if anyone who hears the sound of the trumpet does not take warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.

Jackie - Garrison NY -  The Lord wants us to surrender our lives completely to Him.  We need to listen and obey.  When he asks us to do something we don't want to do or think it's not the way to do it, listen to Him.  Obey and you will find His joy and peace.  His ways are not our ways---they are much better!  If we insist on doing things "our way" we will never experience the joy and peace that only obeying Him gives us.  We are the ones who make life difficult for ourselves

Pat - Staten Island NY - Hear Me, hear Me alone as you journey along.  My light shall shine on
the way you should go. You will know without a doubt where you should be.  If you fail to stay close to Me you will wander where you should not be.  There is so little time.  Cling to Me only. There is no need to wander away.  Everything is ready and everything is near.  You shall see Me soon and you will be filled with joy.  Do you believe what I have done just for you.  My faithfulness is unending. Psalm 108: 3-6 "I will give thanks to you  O Lord among the peoples andI will sing praises to you among the nations.  For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens and your faithfulness reaches the clouds. Be exalted O God above the heavens and let your glory be over all the earth. give victory with your right hand and answer me so that those whom you love will be rescued."

Fresno CA community

Ciria - Fresno CA - Romans 11:22 "Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off."  As I prayed I saw all the multitudes made up of nations and peoples whom are God Holy Mountain and under Christ’s dominion. I hear the Holy Spirit calling to us to run unto this mountain, run unto the Lord of hosts. This Mountain of God are made up of House of Israel, which fell, into severity and Zion ploughed as a field. Though Zion is ploughed as a field, yet God has not cast off his people, but by the fall of the Jews salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that it proves to be the riches of the world, Rom. 11:11, Rom. 11:12 . These are also called the exiled, whom the Father promised never to forget, and bring back to himself. This mountain is a fruitful vineyard. With Christ, the First Fruit and those he has saved…the Body of Christ. We are His people and we are the children of the latter rain along with the exiled of it. May God’s name be praised for His mercy, goodness and greatness. God’s Holy Mountain has became enlarged by the accession of the nations to it. I heard the Lord say “This one was born in Zion”.
Psalms 87: 6 & 7

6 The Lord will write in the register of the peoples:
    “This one was born in Zion.”
7 As they make music they will sing,
    “All my fountains are in you.”

Twyla -  Fresno - Romans 12:12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer. This scripture best describes the way I am feeling in prayer today. The tribulation and trials are heavy on every person I know.  The sin of this world and the current conditions of our society is oppressive in nature. On a daily basis I am hit from every side that can throw me into turmoil and question my faith. I ask the Lord when or if things will get easier. But, I know deep down in my soul it is going to get even harder. So, I keep trying to rejoice because I will be delivered from this world and in God’s presence. Staying in constant prayer is a state of mind that comes more easily once I surrender my will to the Lord and accept his will in my life. I’m not going to tell you it’s easy most of the time I pick up the old way of thinking about my situations. But, I have faith that the Lord will continue to work with me because he loves me and he wants to set me free.  

Melina -  Fresno - The Lord says we should “keep the Sabbath Day in remembrance of him”.-(Exodus 20:8) It is actually the fourth commandment in which we must follow. I feel a great peace within my family church. We are not perfect, we don't even know what is best for ourselves most of the time. I take great pride in the reward I get from my hard work, However, people like me don't like to ask for help. We must be humble and we must surrender ourselves to God, who knows best. He knows that if we, human beings, knew how to make everything right ahead of time, we would mess everything up. We would try to prevent the misfortunes and pain from happening because we are prideful. We don't think we deserve trials, but this is how we learn!! We must learn by experience if we can't learn by others telling us what is right and wrong. We are given a full life time to restart and continue to be the best Christian we can, and pure in God's eyes. God wants strong spiritual people to enter his kingdom. God WILL punish sin, but shows mercy,  because we are all born sinners, and because he loves us. We must stop and think about what he has done for our lives already. Another scripture I have in my heart is Proverbs 11:2, “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility come wisdom.” The definition of pridefulness is to have self centered respect. This right here, says that it is a selfish emotion, in which we have the choice to let our pride drive our actions, or not. We must remember that we ARE sinners, so to make the right choice, we must suppress our pride to let wisdom enter our mind and spirit. I pray that everyone who reads these notes are blessed with a little reminder in their hearts to just remember the Lord every morning.

Maya B -  Fresno - What God has been trying to tell me...I thought about how fortunate I was, yet how sad and lonely I've been making myself. I break it all down and it doesn't make sense, I should be happy but for some reason I still make excuses for myself to justify these feelings. In the movie I heard someone lead in prayer saying something similar to this, “We don't know why we have our trials however we know all this is in your caring, loving hands.” This is unfortunate yet enlightening to me. I believe that, that is the reason why bad things happen to good people. It's to teach lessons, powerful lessons. I get stuck, running in loops, I'm blind when getting caught up in feelings and daily things. All I think about is the roles of everyone in my life, I don't see them as people anymore. One of my favorite youtubers made a video titled “Be happy”. He talks about how he says something about shyness, he said that people need to interact to be happy. It made me think about how I should just “enjoy life”. It was a point, short and simple, but familiar. It just felt different hearing it from someone my who was my age. It's easy to forget my age because I'm too busy feeling down. This is not the end of my life, it is the beginning of my life and it's never too late to start living a happy life. Family is the most important blessing in my life any other person's life, they bring me happiness, they teach compassion, morals, good tastes in music, anything. The main point is: I will always love them and they will always love me. I may not remember this at the end of the day, at least not every day. Thank you God for giving me dreams, thank you for waking me up every morning, and lastly, thank you for giving me this beautiful reminder. :) I love you and I will run to you..[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp7PS_UN8Lo] pass on this song and enjoy your life...

David -Fresno - How is God’s word speaking to me about acceptance: Roman 15:7
God’s word is speaking to me that I am to receive others as Christ received me accepting that they are saved through the same blood that made me a partaker of God’s glory. Through washing away of my sins was given to me and I am therefore, a debtor to the mercy of God and live on His forgiveness. I give compassion and empathy to others, bearing the faults in others because those faults still exist in me. The character in Christ and his compassionate example toward his disciples is our guide for ourselves and others
