Power Tongues notes 10/6/2013

Home Team

Linda S – First when we started praying, I heard, “Nurture what I’ve given you. Each thing I’ve given you has a purpose, nurture it. “ Then I saw a lot of people turning corners, heard the word “decision” and then sense of great gatherings going on, breaking down of walls and great gathering.

Theresa – Received the word “decision” at very end, crystal clear sight of what needs to be decided.  At beginning saw clear water rushing toward us, thick rope coming down in middle of it. Not sure of meaning of rope. Saw dog with red eyes coming toward us, prayed to stop it.

Barbara – Saw lights, some bright, some weak, saw them all around world. Then prayers were lifted up with incense, like a huge ball toward heaven, and I heard the Lord say “It is well.” It was all the prayers going up. All around the White House, there were little white pots of prayer.

JP – Word and vision – Saw lot of homes near a cliff, landslide, many lost in landslide, saw lights on in homes on the cliff. Opened Bible to Acts 2, coming of Holy Spirit – commentary page says foundation of Holy Spirit, third person of Trinity, longs to bring forth fruit in every believer. Holy Spirit alone turns word of God into sword, makes effective prayer possible. Eph 5:8 – be filled with Holy Spirit.

Linda M – The Lord says, “Beloved I hunger for your thanks for my unending love and mercy and joy in your life.  I am with you always.  Do not forget.  I await your love.  I search for your love, affection and words.  I watch you always with a smile and joy.   I watch you always, please know I am with you and acknowledge your love for me.”

Betty – Saw spiral plow, shining silver, dry land, the land was so hard.  The Lord said “I want you to plow.” “How do I plow, when the ground is so dry?” He responded, “Through prayer, especially the rosary, all prayer.” The Holy Spirit will move the plow. Saw plows end-to-end as far as could see. The Holy Spirit was gathering prayers – saw priests, lay people, Bibles in everyone’s hands. Prayers were going up in streams of light. Saw blood, saw the need for ground tilled for hardened hearts, so seeds can be planted there. Sacrifices little and big, being gathered up into heaven. Acts of mercy and charity – any sacrifice, big or little, going up united with Jesus’ suffering and mercy, going up in little sparkling crosses to Holy Spirit, so can till the soil.

Chuck – Moses was lifting up a staff, saw serpent on it. People were looking at it in worship and evil was coming out of the people. They were looking to God  and were delivered. Then saw Jesse and oil being poured on top of him.   Then saw lit candles – a lot of them. Heard “24x7” – like they are lit 24x7 . Then saw incense coming up to heaven. Then saw Jesus. Scripture from John – “Peace I leave with you,”  and he breathed Holy spirit.  God is going to breathe on us the Holy Spirit in a new and powerful way. God is going to give us an instrument to break evil like he did Moses; give us prayer, break loose prayer. Second image - Saw Paul on boat with rocking seas and speaking peace to the natural storm. God was saying that he is going to give us authority in midst of chaos, and authority to speak peace. God wants peace. Saw child bowed in worship and heard the words, “open hearts.” Saw scales coming off and new baby skin appearing. Saw them coming off eyes and body so people can see right.  Saw rod being broken off. Saw Jeremiah weeping and “tears have been heard.”  .Saw Columbus coming to United States, putting his hands and gathering up soil and the soil was good and saw healthy plants in the soil.  God wants to redeem the world, even the western United States like we haven’t seen before. Saw earthquake, saw earth opening up and people were safe. There was safety. If you are in the Lord, you don’t need to be afraid.

Linda Mc – Received the word “earthquake,” then saw myself going down street where our church is, remembering how many times we have driven up and down the street praying. God said there is sowing to faithfulness. God was reaching for a giant pearl, pearl of great value. – then saw my son’s girlfriend who is Filipino. Then prayed for the Philippines. Then prayed for a dinner we are going to, and seeing people being ministered to and praying with them

Bob – Lord was asking for intercessory prayer for Catholic bishops.

Tru – Saw Jesus and his friends, lot of friendship and lot of love.

Susan – Saw bright light, beautiful light. Saw dark clouds gathered around the light, couldn’t see bright light anymore. Then as I prayed more, I could see light again, then colors changed into beautiful rainbow, then saw gold dust, beautiful color. Enjoying vision – message is when we focus on our relationship with the Lord, there is dark cloud that comes, busy-ness, cares, etc, but when we keep our focus, he can bring so much more  when we seek him – more when we least expect it. Gold dust.

Shelly – saw people dragging sleds full of “stuff.” They were snow sleds but the ground had no snow, so sleds were extremely difficult to pull. It was all the burdens and cares of this world, all the worldly goods that we chase after and can’t let go of.  Prayed for freedom.  Saw the ropes trying to be cut off, but the rope turned to steel cable because people weren’t ready to let go.  They kept struggling to pull all their things with them.  Then continued in prayer and cables were cut for some, as they were willing, and they found true freedom in Christ.  Continued to pray for freedom, for willingness of his people to cut off cares, burdens, encumbrances, so we are all free to serve him where and when he calls.

Celine – Two things. Began by praising God, then listened – then listened as he spoke about the beatitudes. He wants us to examine our lives daily and see what we have done. If we do that, it will change because we will see the action of God in our lives. It will show on our faces and in our lives. Second thing. I heard, “Hear my voice and harden not your heart.” Through technology creating noise, iphone, games, etc. The Lord said, “If you harden your hearts, how can I reach you?” That’s why he wants us to see what he does in our lives each day. He wants us to be simple.

Le – Confirm what Celine said, “Look around you and see what I have done and what I can do in you.” God wants us to look around and see what he has done and what we can do in this world through Him.

Tru – This room is like the Upper Room. Each of us loves Jesus, each of us wants to be his disciple, He is in our midst.  Felt encouragement from God.

Maura – North Carolina - I was thinking of Mary, Joseph, Joachim and Ann, Elizabeth and Zechariah before the Angel Gabriel came. How they followed the faith for .Israel. They praised and honored the One True God and ran their lives according to his precepts. They did not know Jesus yet. Then the Angel Gabriel came and Jesus was conceived. I have had children myself and I was aware that Mary and Joseph went through the nine month waiting period together, seeing the baby's growth in the womb and knowing that they had not had intercourse. What wonder must have filled them! They knew he was going to be totally unique, the Son of God. How could they comprehend the reality of it? They must have wondered what he would be like. Then the child is born. Shepherds came, directed by angels. Kings came and bowed down before him. And at his circumcision in the temple, he is acknowledged. All this made the truth of Jesus' nature as both God and man alive to me in a new way. It change and deepened the faith I already had and made even more awesome the fact of who I was receiving at communion the next morning.

Liz – Pennsylvania – Heard the Lord say, “I tell you, I love you more than the flowers, more than all of creation because you, my children, have placed your trust in me. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” Acts 26:16 "I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness of what you have seen [of me] and what you will be shown."
Song: The Lord inhabits the praise of his people.

Martina – West Virginia - I saw Jesus bless the whole world. He sprinkled holy water and sent an overpowering of graces and blessings to all the participants of Power Tongues International as their prayers soothes his broken heart. He said, “Precious children, I love  seeing your warm, loving hearts in this cold ,frigid world. It gives me much joy. You will be duly blessed for spending this time with me, your Savior. Touch as many lives as possible. Bring them to Me. I have no hands or feet. I need you to gather wayward souls to my kingdom. Precious children, I love you,"

Maya – Fresno CA - I saw a large mountain. At the top of it was a vivid green grass and snow coating the top. The mountain’s cold dark shadow casts itself on the grass below. Then I saw a vast grey light blue ocean. So vast that from my point of view the only way it ended is when the earth started rounding and turning. Without the Lord’s guidance we are in that darkness, like in the cold dark shadow of the great mountain or only like being in the midst of the ocean. Psalms 29:3 “The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundered; the Lord is upon many waters”.

Ciria - Fresno CA - I saw a plough being pulled along and its blade was sharp and it went deep. The furrows were going up and down the back and shoulders of our suffering Lords body. His flesh opened laid out and separated from the bone.  Pilgrim Song; Psalms 129:1-4, “They’ve kicked me around ever since I was young.”    —this is how Israel tells it—“They’ve kicked me around ever since I was young,  but they never could keep me down. Their plowmen plowed long furrows up and down my back; Then God ripped the harnesses of the evil plowmen to shreds.” The enemies of Christ’s church don’t spare pain but inflict the most injury; They work the deceitful work of the devil and don’t hold back their hands from bloodshed. They smite Christ, and his church as a plough into man. They plough past the quivering flesh, sinews like clods o clay, They plough deep and long with countless furrows, they leave no portion of the church unfurrowed or unassailed. This end time church is an afflicted nation, lashed by Christ’s adversaries so cruelly that each blow leaves its tears up the ground from one end of the field to the other. Many hearts smitten and sore wounded by them who use the scourge of the tongue; so smitten that their whole character has been cut up and scored by verbal assault. The true church in every age had fellowship with her Lord under his cruel flagellations; his sufferings were as prophecy of what the church would be called thereafter Christ, to endure. Those who laid on the scourge did it with a thoroughness which showed how hearty was their hatred. Christ knew as his enemies gnashed upon him and relentlessly upon those like him. The Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan desires to have you, that he may sift you [tear you apart] as wheat: But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, you will strengthen your fellow We must hear The Pilgrims Song.   

Twyla – Fresno - The lord showed me a healthy heart that was all pink and muscular. The heart was beating a strong and calm rhythmic beat. Then I saw a dark mass to begin to consume that healthy heart it took over section by section. The heart beat became labored and weak. And then before I know it the heart was completely hard and black like an onyx stone. The life and the health of the heart ceased. The unwise mind clung to his chest and died with no wisdom and in the sin of his unwise heart.

(I’m asking for forgiveness from my God and loved ones for harm and pain I have brought to them. I have allowed my life to be unwise in front of them and have been a bad example. We read proverbs together as a group. I have discovered that I am not a wise woman. I lack the fruit of wisdom in my life. I have damaged many aspects of my life because of my foolish way I have conducted myself in front of my loved ones, I have been  disrespectful and not teachable nor taken wise counsel from my teachers. I have become difficult and not a calm person.) 

Melina – Fresno CA - Dear Lord, I love the work you have done in me and my family's lives. I have forgotten how much I enjoy praising your name and studying your word. I admit that I get caught up in my academic life and my anger. When I get busy I forget to pray and make time to read a little bit of the bible every day and thank my creator for the people in my life at home and at the college and most of all the chance to even know who you are all together Lord. When I get angry I don't realize when it's time to forgive the people of their mistakes. I don't take the phrase, "Don't sweat the small stuff" under consideration. As for the good that I do, Lord you know.

I have an appetite to build my understanding of you and your word. One of my favorite sayings of the wise is, "Saying 12: Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge." This is one of my strong skills in school and I find that now I can apply this skill to benefit my relationship with you. Now that family has started prayer night together again, it has motivated me to go back and talk to you every day and feel your love again.

To the prayer warriors: As i prayed tonight I am still blown away by how powerful God is. I have taken the habit of picturing a soft light or a perfect circle in my intelligible world (because nothing is perfect in the "real, physical world" we cannot worship objects because they are only a cheap copy of what is really real). In other words, God does not exist in what we call the real world, which is on earth (where we can touch and see). However, God exists in the intelligible or perfect world. This world is what is truly real, the world where our spirit and mind is released to explore the wisdom offered to us. God bless you all!

Ronald - Fresno CA - He that seeketh knowledge and wisdom with a pure heart will find it, but with knowledge and wisdom will come more questions. He that seeketh knowledge from the Lord will have greater understanding.

Bryanna – Fresno CA - Proverbs 22:27: If you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you. In Christ we have unlimited means. His provisions are not limited to worldly goods. There are some things that money can't buy. In him we have the means to give and receive love. This bears fruit. All of his provisions are given according to his will and in his time. When He is our means, we are free from debt and what he has given us cannot be taken away except by him. Knowing this humbles our hearts. But there is another side to this:

Since Christ is our means, without him we have no means. If we accumulate worldly goods in and ourselves, what we have is limited to what is worldly. We do not have the means to give love or to receive it. This does not bear fruit. When Christ is not our means we are in debt and what we have can be taken away from us. Knowing this makes us bitter and puts fear in our hearts. Both Scenarios appear to be the same from the outside, but a closer look reveals that one bears fruit and the other does not. One will pass away and other is eternal. One makes us humble and the other makes us fearful. The Lord is separating the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the tares. I spent some time reflecting on Mathew 7:24-27, Mathew 13:29-30 and Mathew 25:31-46.

Pat – Staten Island NY - As I prayed in tongues I was led to read all of  Ezekiel 7: Judgment on Israel is near:  :Ending with v. 23 to 27:    “Make a chain for the land is filled with crimes of blood, and the city is full of violence.  Therefore I will bring the worst of the gentiles and they will possess their houses. I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease, and their holy places shall be defiled.  Destruction comes;  they will seek peace, but there shall be none.  Disaster will come upon disaster, rumor will be upon rumor.  Then they will seek a vision from a prophet; but the law will perish from the priest and counsel from the elders.  The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the common people will tremble.  I will do to them according to their way, and according to what they deserve I will judge them; Then they will know that I am Lord!”Also led to a reading from Luke 21, v 5-36: “Then as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations.  He said, these things which you see - the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down. So they asked Him saying, "Teacher, but when will these things be?  And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?  And He said "Take heed that you not be deceived.  For many will come in my name , saying "I am He, and the time has drawn near, therefore do not go after them, but when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified;  for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately."

Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilence; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.  But before all these things , they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons.  You will be brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake.  But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony.  Therefore settle it in your hearts not to meditate beforehand on what you will answer, for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.  You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives, and friends;  and they will put some of you to death.  And you will be hated by all for my name's sake.  But not a hair of your head shall be lost.  By your patience possess your souls. But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.  Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her.  For these are the days of vengeance, that all thins which are written will be fulfilled.  But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!  For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon the people.  And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations.  And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.  And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars;  and on the earth distress of nation, with perplexity,  the sea and the waves roaring,  men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those thing which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.  Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.  Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads,  because your redemption draws near. Then he spoke to them a parable:  Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.  When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.  So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.  Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away until  all things take place.  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.  For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.  Watch therefore and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these thing that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man"

Mary – Anthem AZ – Paraphrasing Psalm 86:1-5 Our relationship is more valuable than Gold. Refine your life like precious gold.  Be valuable in the Kingdom of God.  Evaluate your life. Evaluate your relationship with me. Consider the time you dedicate to prayer. I want more of you my dear child.  Seek first the Kingdom of God.

Mallory – MN - As I prayed, I realized I was in a boat. I could only see the front of the boat as it sped through the waters. Sometimes there were waves, and I mean, big waves crashing in

on the boat, and other times it was smooth sailing. The rough waters quit after I contacted

someone to whom I needed to apologize for a harsh remark earlier. After that, the sailing seemed to be smooth. I felt there was some intercessory prayer going on, but I don't know for what or whom. Then the sound of "shhhhh," took over. Maybe I need to be still and know God? I don't know. This is all I got out of this prayer session.

Madeleine – London UK - I feel The Lord is stressing on two important words for us to meditate upon and use this month, and they are "peace" and "understanding."

In closing: There are some strong words here and a lot to take to the Lord for reflection.

Pray: Lord we lift these words to you. That which is from you, let it take root and produce much fruit. Bring peace and understanding as we continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Next session is November 3. Please pray about participating.

Power Tongues notes 9/1/2013

Linda S – Feeling an exhortation to gather together, the needing of the support. Sense God is reminding us the power of two by two, or more. Don’t stop gathering. Also sense him reminding us to bring him into every communication, every conversation with others. To somehow make prayer a part of it. He is stretching us to do that. Even in the most secular conversation we can make prayer a part of it, simply, because that’s who we are.

Rod – Confirming Linda’s word. Had a vision of an ark. God wants us to use the tools that he has given them, such as justice, truth, integrity. He’s teaching us to grow in these aspects of his nature, so that when we gather the people up into the ark they will be prepared to do this. Titus 2:11-14, about the grace of God. To live temperately, justly, as we await the hope. He is cleansing for himself a people of his own.

Barbara - Heard the Lord say, ‘are you ready’? (She first thought the word was just for herself, then she heard it again and understood it to mean all of us.) He was saying to all of us, that we need more quiet time. In a recent message of Pope Francis, he was telling us to shut out the noise of the world, to prepare us for whatever he wants us to do.

Adrienne - Reminded of a message on ETWN the other day, where Mother Angelica was talking about being ‘in the quiet’, shutting out the noise of the world to hear the Lord. Praying for the persecuted church in Africa, and saw in a vision first Tanzania, then the Congo, then Uganda. Saw huge cracks in the soil in the jungle. Saw the need for healing and reparation. She began to pray reparation prayers. Then she heard “pray that the people in authority would stop abusing their own people.” Saw doves, with gorgeous ribbons with little hearts on them, coming down, and felt that God was healing and freeing the people. At one point saw people who had been turned into dummies because their power was taken from them.

Linda M – Felt a sense of seriousness, calm, a different atmosphere. The Lord was reassuring us about the trouble in the middle east and asking us to pray for peace.

Betty - When I first started praying, saw our Lady of Guadalupe. Focus was on our country. That we are becoming less and less caring for life. All these issues in our country are connected to her, our Lady of

Guadalupe, Our Lady of Refuge, Good Counsel, Immaculate Conception. Our Lady of America. That we need to ask her intercession for our country. And ask the intercession of Saint Padre Pio, because we are going more and more into impurity and he has a special love for our country.

Theresa - Jesus was delivering his mercy. Some places he was sprinkling mercy, some places dropping bricks of mercy. Then in the middle east, it was difficult to get through the chaos to deliver the mercy.

Celine - Jesus will work with the remnant. When the time comes he will put the words into our mouth. He will tell us exactly what to say, not yet, but when the time comes.

Bob - Confirmation. We need to pray for our national leaders, that they would be guided by the Holy Spirit. And we need to pray for our children while they go back to school, that they be protected from all the things they are exposed to.

Shelly (praying while on a long drive home during the session time) - I began praying for young women caught in human trafficking. I saw angels going to the girls telling them they are worthy and wanted in healthy loving ways. I prayed for their deliverance. Then as I was driving through the agricultural areas between Fresno and Los Banos, California, I prayed for the workers who have been trapped, tricked into coming here for a better life but then caught into a system of near-slave labor that they cannot escape. I prayed for their safety, for justice, for safe passage into fair employment and legal residence for those who have not yet obtained it. I felt God's hand on the area, his presence in their lives. The sunset was beautiful and the song "How Great is Our God" came to me and I changed the words in the verses to prayers for the workers and sang the chorus as I watched the beautiful sunset that God provided.

Madeleine –London UK - Keep an open heart my child, and let me grow in you through you and into others with your help and example, I am with you at all times, I will never leave you, I love you my child!

Fresno group - The Fresno group is very busy these days. Yet another funeral this past month and another is dying from cancer. We need your prayers as we press through these trials. We love and appreciate PTI, for without it, our vision would dim. We are encouraging each other to pray, even if simple or silent, just pray. God bless each effort to please our Lord. Prayer can feel dry sometimes, but we must. Pray inwardly, even though you feel no joy in it. For it does good, though you feel nothing, see nothing, yes, even though you think you cannot pray. For when you are dry and empty, sick and weak, your prayers please God, though there be little enough to please you. All believing prayer is precious in his sight. God accepts the good-will and work of his servants, no matter how we feel. Feeling guilt does little good, as we cannot judge ourselves, He alone is our judge and discerns the intent of our hearts. When we pray in tongues it is the Spirit that prays and speaks mysteries unto God....."A man who speaks in a tongue is talking not to men but to God. No one understands him, because he utters mysteries in the Spirit" (1 Cor 14:2). When we speak in tongues, we utter mysteries to God. We communicate at a level which is beyond our human capabilities. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6., Eph 6:18; iti 2:1 Father, fill us with love for You and a desire to praise You. In Jesus' name, stir up the Holy Spirit in us to pray in another language. Remove all obstacles in the way of receiving this gift. May we pray in tongues daily for several minutes. Thank You. Amen.......You have asked and received. Now, thank and praise the Lord in your native language. Then obediently extend your expressions of love by praying in tongues.

Ciria - Fresno - I closed my eyes and ears opened. Immediately I could hear chimes ringing and the wind blew around them until the ringing became a song. I reached out to touch the chimes and noticed that written on each one was the commandments and precepts of the Lord God. As I touched each chime, the writing transferred to my hands like a bracelet. I placed the writing onto my eyelids and on my forehead was stamped his olive branch. I knew that this prayer is fastening my soul to God and making me one with his will, through the work of the Holy Spirit. Deut 6:4-9 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one a Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

Sion - Cerritos, CA - Saw Jesus in a white long robe teaching in a crowd while surrounded by angels. White smoke covering the background area where he was seated; located next to a water creek flowing in the background. He said “Open your hearts to the Holy Spirit who will guide you accordingly with the Father’s teachings and help you to attain your citizenship in heaven. The road is narrow and there are times when with weakened faith will make you ask ‘Why Lord are things happening to me, or why is this happening to a certain family member’. I hear your needs and aspirations, but we all have to embrace the Father’s will. That is the test of a true and faithful servant, you are ready to carry your cross, the Father punishes and prunes the tree of those that He has chosen.”

“Open your hearts and the will of the Almighty Father shall be revealed to you accordingly. Use your gifts accordingly, I am blessing everyone in this prayer ministry that they may continue spreading the healing touch of the Holy Spirit. There is so much to be done, so much prayers and fasting needed to avert a war in the Middle East.” Pray my children and keep clean and open hearts. The Lord then seemed to be floating above the ground and he gave anointing and blessing to those who were present.

Pattie - Raleigh, NC - "Tell everyone about the Lamb's Supper, the Holy Eucharist, the Mass as Heaven on earth": Revelation 5 & John 6:56. People do not know this. When we touch, when we receive the Holy Eucharist, we are touching Eternity!

Martina -West Virginia – “My peace I give to you. Precious children this day gather all my blessings and mercies and scatter them all over the world. This world needs my love. Precious children, I love you.” I saw Jesus’ heart placed on the earth and he sprinkled holy water and said, “Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.”

Mallory – Minnesota - I prayed for an intense half an hour in tongues. During this time the idea of praying for peace came to my mind, especially in Syria. I also saw the Pope as he consecrated the world to the Mother of God. As I prayed, the words, "Hail Mary, full of grace" formed in tongues as I prayed four times. I sang in tongues part of the time, too. I have no interpretation of the songs. The only thing I can say is that the songs were light and joyful.

Closing Prayer

Thank you Lord for the grace of these words. Let that which is from you take root and produce much fruit. We thank you that we are growing in the grace and knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ.



Next session is October 6. Let’s pray for full participation next time!

Linda S – Saw a person planting seeds. Someone came along to show how to dig stake deep to plant seeds very deep. Then he coached other seed planters. It was the planter’s official job. Then saw official waterers. All had badges, then harvesters had their badges. Heard the Lord telling us to enjoy our calling. You might cross over to other areas, but enjoy the primary call he’s given us. He’s gifted us for it. If we enjoy it, it’ll be easy. If you stay in your calling it’ll be easy.

Linda M – “Be joyful as you go about your life – in your joy you shall touch other children, other people. They will know I am God, a God of love. Joy is the big word tonight. Interceding for people who may be Catholic but not in the church anymore, they felt God is a punishing God, but the Lord says, “No, tell them I love them and I will love them into perfection, each child is so precious in my eyes, not one will I reject. Encourage them to come to me and I love them without limit.”

Mike - On the gifts. Lord is telling us to let the Holy Spirit do the work, for us to stay strong in his word and stand on his work, but trust the Holy Spirit to do the work, the power of the Holy Spirit is to work through us, we’re not the one to make it happen. Take the burden off our backs and let it be the Lord. He will give us the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, praising God. Increase our prayer time and let him know that our mind set is to let him do it, not us. On a daily basis. He is waiting for us. There’s a time when the English language isn’t sufficient. Exercise the gift of tongues, let your voice go straight to the heart of God. He knows what we need instead of what we think we need.

Rod – I saw vision of man embracing another man from behind. It was the Lord embracing the man. Then intercession, felt overwhelming reverence. Then saw same embracing of man, but now facing the Lord, whole different feeling now. It was now jubilation, joy, peace. That was the whole vision.

Theresa – Spent whole time knocking down false walls, for each person here, for things we build up, like fears, the things that separate us. Then it came that the Lord was building up his walls around us to secure us. Each person had a different wall coming up. Then expanded intercession to all who are praying with us. Each wall was protecting from something different.

Bob – Felt encouragement from the Lord that during these very challenging times, keep your eyes focused on him.

Adrienne – Began praising on the way over to the gathering. When arrived and as soon as closed eyes, saw painting of Jesus on road to Emmaus. Heard the words, “they recognized him in the breaking in the bread.” Then heard Lord say, there are so many of my people who, outside of the breaking of the bread, don’t believe in me. Pray that they would see me in the Eucharist. Mother Mary will be very helpful in this. He is bringing us so much strength in the communion; we can’t possibly conceive the riches he has for us when we receive him.

Barbara – Interceding for Middle East. Heard Lord say ‘let my people go’. Pray for my people in chains. It was for his people being discouraged. The more we continued saw the chains dropping, his people being freed. So many of his people are in chains. We need more people praying in tongues for his people so the chains will drop, to set his people free.

Shelly – Heard word ‘mercy’ just before beginning. Then had human trafficking on heart; interceded for those trapped in human trafficking, on both sides. For the women, that they will see the gift of who they are, that people will come to tell them the value in the Lord. As it continued, a river appeared and the girls began to be able to cross safely. As the enslavers tried to capture them back, they fell in the river and were washed away. Then the girls started drawing other girls across and the enslavers kept trying to get them back but kept being washed away. Then saw Mother Mary come and put white robes on the girls; then Jesus came and baptized them in the river. It was totally safe for them to enter the river. Only the enslavers were washed away. The girls were safe and were baptized in it.

Betty – Saw two oxen pulling a wagon, going very slow because unevenly yoked. Lord said, “I have a precious load in this wagon and need it to go”. He said, “I have given you each a job to do and you need to be evenly yoked.” Then saw other wagons that were moving fine because they were evenly yoked. The Lord was saying that we need to do what we are called to; confirmed Linda’s word. Then saw weights that were uneven/unbalanced and heard him say that we need to find balance, balance is so important, important to find time with him.

Adrienne – Confirm Shelly’s word. Today’s news said that 105 children were able to be released. Been praying for the children caught in human trafficking and the conversion of the perpetrators.

Celine – Given history of martyrdom. Doesn’t matter when started, but after Jesus, they died because they believed, because they have faith. Still same today. Jesus saying, ‘live your faith, do not be ashamed of your God. Live it openly.”

Martina – West Virginia - I saw a chain around the world, each link was a prayer team member, an angel held the link when a nation was not represented, we were all lifted to the throne room and were gathering blessings send down from heaven, I saw all who were praying carrying wicker baskets and gathering the harvest and the Lord said "The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few" My precious children, stay close to Me. I will safeguard you from bodily harm, I will protect the religious freedom you seek. I am with you through all the trials the church faces, I will impart knowledge to you. Seek me alone. Precious children, do not fear man, he can do nothing to harm your spiritual beliefs, it is between Jesus and you.” I see a group pull down blessings from heaven like strands of ribbon, we were gathering the blessings for all on earth. "Seek first the Kingdom of heaven and all else will be added on."

July – Venezuela - Jesus Christ showed me his wounds, and his words were: ‘By my wounds you were were healed. You who have your hearts with great pain, who are suffering in different ways, come close to me, and I will heal you. My Holy Spirit will provide you with my peace, that the world cannot give you. Come to me my children.”

Maria - North Carolina - You are no longer lost sheep. Be brave. Do not be afraid because I your God am leading you. You are not sure which way to turn. When in distress call on my holy virgin mother to help you. Amore-love conquers all, destroys the sting of pain and hurt. Depend on her graces in your situations. She will pray for you. I will hear her prayers.

Madeleine – London UK - After praying in tongues this is what I heard The Lord telling me: "Seek ye not justice in this world but know that you will be judged fairly in the next for I am the Lord thy God and I love you with an everlasting love!" I was then lead to Psalm 9:8, "He will judge the world in righteousness. He will govern the peoples with justice."

Caroline - Be doers of the Word. Going deeper and deeper with my Word. Not merely hearers thus deceiving oneself. Take my Word as it is. Do not water it down. It is your shield, your armor , the Sword of the Spirit.

Mallory – Minnesota - As I began to pray, I saw images of priests I know and priests I have known and priests that I did not know, including Cardinal Dolan and Pope Francis. I saw the Christ crucified and the cross alone. These images of the Cross and Jesus on the Cross mixed with the images of the priests. I saw the Cross in a beautiful garden. I thought this was unusual, but there were many lay people there giving glory to God. I saw a light form behind the cross and the words, "This is my beloved Son," formed in my mind. I saw our priests performing their priestly duties. They were counseling people and hearing confessions. I can only assume that this means that we need to pray for our priests daily for they have heavy crosses to bear in order to bring their congregations to God our Father, through Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Again when I prayed in tongues, I kept hearing the words ‘precious, precious, precious’.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for the precious time with you. We return all of these words to you and ask that whatever is from you, let it bear rich fruit. Those things that just came from our minds, let them be washed away as we continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Power Tongues notes 7/7/2013

Home Group

Theresa – Heard the Lord say, “Let me set this straight – your sins will be washed away and you will be whiter than snow.”

Linda – Sensed an encouraging word. He is deepening our gifts. Season of grace, answering prayers left and right, we are leaving deep footprints, he will break through in many levels.

Rod – Call to intensify our prayer, be simple and humble, He will give the words you need, call on him, believe in him, he will put you to work, so prepare yourself for this work, be spiritually fit.

Barbara – Thinking of all the problems, family, world . With each one that came to mind, he would say, “Give it to me” and he would wash it away. Kept hearing that for each problem.  At peace now. Had peaceful wind of the spirit on face, very gentle for all of us.

Mary Ellen – Seems like always asking for things, thought of disciples that they were giving thanks – thought of words from Mass – thank you Lord for hearing our prayer. So began turning tongues into thanksgiving. What we need to know will come when we need it and when we can bear it.

JP – Saw a snake, a serpent – contained by big bowl over it. On one side of the bowl was a crucifix – serpent was completely sealed in jar. Saw children crawling on table near serpent but crucifix was there and children were not harmed; they were safe because crucifix was there. See Psalm 51 – cleanse me with hissop, create in me a clean heart oh Lord.

Theresa – Had burden for kids. Saw our prayers shutting mouths of “yappers” that are telling lies to kids; then they were all quiet. Then came praying in all the good words, prophets, etc speaking good words to the children – intercession for children.

Betty – Saw a colorful top, large top, colors, stripes around it – spinning. So many people involved in themselves and the world that they are spinning in circles but never advance in spiritual life. We can do that by spinning and not being open to the Spirit. They were spinning so much that they were starting to drill themselves into the ground. Then from ground there was a stench coming up, then above there was a dark layer it was causing. But above that was brightness. It was all the graces that people were not asking for.  Then singing in the group started and holy clouds started swirling and the darkness dispersed and the graces began to flow to the people. Prayed that the people receive the graces. Instead of stench began smell of roses, then large fan in rainbow colors, in center was diamonds. Great graces will come from youth day with Holy Father.  Holy Father has been given special talents and gifts for the church. He was at the center of the fan and the gifts are being dispersed to the church, especially youth.

Mike – Don’t be so anxious, don’t worry so much. God has a plan for each one of his children. In his time, all the little things we each do will be big things.  He will tell us eventually why he did what he did and why didn’t do what he didn’t do.  Don’t be intimidated. The Holy Spirit is more powerful than anything we’ve ever encountered and is taking us right where he wants us to go. Let the Holy Spirit speak for us and do for us things we never thought of. The voice you know is the voice of Jesus. He is in our hearts. “Don’t look back, follow me.”

Victoria – As we praise in tongues so much deliverance takes place.  We are praying for others even though we don’t know who we are praying for and deliverance is taking place.

Soosay – Focused prayers on priest coming to the parish.

Steve – First saw light in this room. Then don’t remember, then saw light again, then don’t remember, then light again – three times. He is going to shine his light in the darkness. Don’t worry about it, he is going to make the dark places bright.

Adrienne - It was as if I was flying very fast close to the ground, over very arid ground. With all that is happening in the world I thought at first it had to do with that. The words that came were,"Spiritual aridity,”. I asked if he meant the world in general. The words that came were: " Many of my priests suffer from spiritual aridity from from overwork and lack of personal devotion to me and lack of time for prayer. Pray them back into a deep and solid Eucharistic and Spirit-filled prayer life. Pray for unity with Peter. My daughters too have strayed away from the charism of their orders. I call all to holiness and charity, not social justice. If you love me and my Church the rest will follow." As I continued to pray, the ground started to show green sprouts which grew and multiplied until the soil was covered with strong green trees. Their branches lifted up in praise to their creator. There were forests. Then I was supposed to pray for rectors and teachers in the seminaries. Pray for courage and the protection of the Mother of God.
Last but not least was the thought to pray for Pope Francis and for the youth especially in Brazil who have an inter-generational bondage with occult stuff such as voodoo etc. I saw chains and then as I prayed for them to be open to the Holy Spirit the chains started to fall, they were no longer tight. The presence of the Holy Spirit is so strong in the Holy Father that the Lord will do much. Called to pray for his protection and stamina, health. Readings: Ezekiel 3:17 This is the reading about the watchman. My understanding is that although many are called to be watchmen the priests are called in a very special way to warn the people of the dangers in the culture and to strengthen them spiritually in word and sacrament by speaking the truth. Ezekiel 36:25-29 had to do with the sprinkling of water to cleanse them of their impurities. Ezekiel 47:1-11 but especially  the verse where the fruit trees would be fed by the stream coming from beneath the temple, the stream coming from the sanctuary. The priests and religious as they come deeper and deeper into prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and celebration of the Mass the Lord will bring much healing and restoration to His body. It seemed like there was a lot about water.

Celine – Confirmation of what Linda, Theresa and Rod said. Praying intensely, at end an exhortation to raise hands to let graces flow. Faith, trust and surrender are key.

Shelly – Saw a ring of redwoods; about leadership. Also confirm that prayers having significant effect even when we don’t know what we’re praying for specifically.

Madeleine – London UK - Listen to me, I am shouting out from three mountain peaks, one is Honor, one is Power and the other is Integrity. You all have the power to overcome the enemy, The honor to walk in my footsteps, and the integrity to follow Me.  My children you are mine and I am yours. Where ever you go I am with you, I will never leave you. Listen to my voice and I will lead you! I love you with an everlasting love!

Heart of Jesus Prayer Community Glendale CA

Rolando - Saw Mass in progress, but the priest had no face. Each person who received communion was enveloped in flame as they received.  Some however were not touched by the flames but just received.  People were healed and were rejoicing and praising God. 

Donna - Saw a surface that was silver. Kind of looked like water but not quite.  The image of Christ as the Sacred Heart with hands outstretched shone above. Every once in a while a person would climb up (no faces or features, like a little, black cartoon image of a person) above the silver surface and kneel down and thank and praise God.

Sandy – Saw Mary and Joseph. Great joy. Then John the Baptist.  The light of the Lord shone about. Real bright.  Mary walking with us. It was a birthing of some kind.

Barbie – Saw a narrow bridge with lots of lights. God's love. Fear not.

Raffy – Saw a dove, the Holy Spirit.  Looking in the sky saw the face of Jesus for a split second.

Lita - Saw a street. Saw different people but only in silhouette, standing.  Some were easy to see because there was a lot of light. Some harder to see, because the light was very dim, really dark.

Roberto - Praying in a Church with his wife.  The sun is coming through and can see the ocean outside, very bright.

Fresno Group: God bless our brothers and sisters, What a wonderful prayer time we had. Although it has only been a month, it feels like a year. Our beloved father, godfather and grandfather, passed away on June 12,2013. We rejoice that his eternity has begun and are sad because we will miss him dearly. As a family we went through several trials just to get him buried, and came out as overcomers, yet again through the forgiveness and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are sharing from our hearts with you. Pray for us here in Fresno, California.   Love, Fresno Prayer Group

Ciria - Fresno - I saw a large loop where we were open and vulnerable, like an opening a natural pasture for his people, a clearing has been provided through the brambling bush. These are the ones. The sheep to his right hand. They hear his voice and they turn their white faces toward him and follow him wherever he goes, they follow him. These are not lost sheep, these are the faithful and true. …”These are they overcame Satan and this world, by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death…Revelation 12:11” They who follow will learn of him, and know him, even as they are known.

Maya – Fresno – As I began to pray, I was thinking about the “Our Father Prayer”. Getting closer to you Lord, taking care of his creation, his mountain. I thought of the two paths, heaven and hell. Heaven’s road is a narrow road that leads to eternal life, and hell has the wider broader path. I heard this once in a bible study too, from my baby days. Grandma always read from the Bible. My mind will wander off from God…worse since summer started. I ask the Almighty to forgive me. For not focusing on him. I felt warmth and acknowledgement. If God is our conscience, then he told me to get myself focused, start reading the bible, take care of my body, his creation care and help others around me. The Our Father Prayer./ I prayed and broke it down: Our Father who art in heaven, all of us have a father, creator and eternal life.. Heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; he will share his great gifts. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation. God forgives us, we must do the same to everyone. God will lead us if we accept him into our lives.

Melina – Fresno - The first thing I saw was a piece of rope in a crowd of people below. There were two mountains beside each other and an animal that might be a bull on the right side of the mountain. There was a crowd of people in the ditch area and the ground they were standing on was lowering. The last thing I saw was a bright but a soft flash of light coming from the sky. This was when I thought about the Lords hand reaching out to his people. He asked “What are the people doing”? It looked like some of them were near the edge of the mountain and as they were climbing up and sliding back down. I asked the Lord to show me something. I asked, is there anything you want to tell or show me?  Mathew 7:13 & 14.

Twyla - Fresno - I saw myself on a free standing wood and rope bridge. I look ahead and behind and I could not see a beginning or an end of the bridge. It went on as far as my eyes could see and it disappeared in the distance. I was surrounded by hills and mountains in the distance. I was surrounded by tropical trees, bright colored flowers and exotic fruit.  All around were plush green hills and mountains. But below the plush trees was a fast moving stream of black fiery lava; it was a river of fire. I kept walking down the bridge from time to time, and the bridge would rock and I would become unstable and lose my footing. Read Psalms 1.

David - Fresno – Here is the question: Are you a confused mule? Zechariah 14:9 And the Lord shall be King over all the earth: in that day there shall be one Lord and his name shall be one. I saw a great multitude of people of all kinds from all over the earth. Men and women, young and old, some with children. They were confused as they went about doing what each one lusted after, without concern for the consequences. Overtaken by fear, they were cast off by God and fell over a cliff. I asked, Lord who are they? They are the idolators, that do abominable wickedness in my sight. They have gone back from their first love, following teachers and ministers that are unrepentant and have iniquity in their mouth. I have written my word on their hearts and they foolishly say there is no God. There are none that do good and are altogether corrupt. Do not be like the horse or mule that does not understand and be led with a bridle by the ungodly. Search my word and I will instruct you in the way you shall go, preserve and compass you with joyful deliverance. 2Timothy 3:4,5 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than followers of God. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Bryanna - Fresno: A Dream: He watches every move she makes from his apartment window. She is his whole world. He waits for the day that she will come out of her apartment and down to the street to greet him. She is the love of his life. She on the other hand is distracted by a big movie screen that is always in front of her face. This screen plays moments of her life on it. She can't see anything else. Not even the man that is watching her. At times she is aware of him but for the most part all she see's is the screen. When she takes a shower, it's not just a shower. It's an endless maze of fog that she travels through. Ghostly figures jump out at her as she tries to make her way through the fog. She walks for miles and miles through this maze reliving the past. She is lost and does not know how to get out. At times she may see the street in which she must met her love, but the street disappears quickly. If only she could make it to the street, the man that she knows to be her land lord will meet her and show her the map of her mind. With the map she can find her way out of this maze. To make a long story short, she and the man do eventually meet in the street. He does show her the map. It is filled with people and places. Memories and moments rather then buildings and locations. He tells her “Don't get lost in the details and analysis. Live in the reality of today.”

Ann - THE L.I.F.E. CENTRE, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Following is what the Holy Spirit revealed to me. Psalm 81-3-4 (NIV) "Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our festival; this is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob." This verse signifies the Jewish celebration of Rosh Hashanah - a day set aside for repentance.  The Holy Spirit asked me to search what the New Covenant message is for this Old Covenant requirement. This is what He showed me " Rosh Hashanah is also known as the Day of Judgment." Rev 21:6-8 (NIV) " He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.  Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.  But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Liz – Scranton PA - I felt the Lord telling us that we can all be instruments of peace:
Song: Peace is flowing like a River. My peace is flowing like a river, you only need to come and drink. The river flows from my heart; it flows for all mankind; it never stops searching for those who are thristy. Come to the water, drink deeply that you may come to know the love I have for you. Seek me where you are for I will not let you out of my gaze. I love you, my children.

Pattie – Raleigh NC – Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord; we will wait upon the Lord; we will wait upon the Lord. Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord! Amen!

Prayer: Lord we give these words and images to you. Let that which is from you take root and produce fruit. Let that which is from our natural minds only, let it be washed away in your love. Teach us to listen and respond. Thank you Lord. Amen.

Next session is  August 4, 2013

Power Tongues notes 6/2/2013

PTI Home Team

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.

Power Tongues notes 5/5/2013

Home team

Linda S – Heard word forgiveness, then saw the circling of wagons. It was a community network of support, protection, intercession, Lord raising up groups of people together, circling wagons. Becoming network of support.

George – Saw veil spread, behind were rows of beings, all with spears, down long aisle, at end was throne of Jesus. One being went down the aisle, Jesus said we are to prepare for battle, not to be concerned, he will provide, we do not understand the power he has given us.

Barbara – It’s all about love tonight, He said it will be hearts of love for a new Pentecost, new love for his people. This love will conquer our situations, we will see his victory, we will know the difference as we go about our day.

Theresa – “Torrent flood of my healing love, covers a multitude of sin. Be courageous, my mercy is larger than you can imagine. I take and use even the small amount you can give. Trust. Be courageous. My love overcomes. “

Denise – Lord said “relax”. Lord had her pray for all of us while we did the heavy lifting, that she was to relax in him and hold us all in prayer.

Kathy – Heard message of ‘put our stuff aside’. Holy Spirit was like humming bird hovering with fast beating of wings, giving wind of Holy Spirit. Confirm Linda’s word of community, and building up together.

Linda M – “Look forward for I am doing something very special – I speak peace to my people, it is in peace that you shall hear me clearly, believe all that I tell you, testing the spirits, I am in control of everything”. He is binding us all together in his love. Saw him come to each of us and touch us with his love. He said, “I touch each of you with my presence and my love, I am here.”

Mary Ellen – Saw problems everywhere, and saw the Lord God deliver us out of all of them. “You can’t make a problem that God can’t deliver you out of.”

Rod – Confirm Barbara and Theresa’s words – we are to be people of love, we’re to embrace the path he has given us – Sirac 2:1-6 My child, when you come to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for trials. Be sincere of heart and steadfast, and do not be impetuous in time of adversity. Cling to him, do not leave him, that you may prosper in your last days. Accept whatever happens to you; in periods of humiliation be patient. For in fire gold is tested, and the chosen, in the crucible of humiliation. Trust in God, and he will help you; make your ways straight and hope in him.

Shelly – Saw garden, someone trying to plant seed but God said “Do not plant before the ground is ready, prepare soil first.” Saw it being tilled, and someone trying to plant seeds again. God said “Not yet, it’s not ready.” The tilling continued, going deeper into the soil. Then fertilizer had to be added. Then the seed could be planted. The Lord said, “Now the harvest will be much and will feed many.” That is our lives. We cannot rush to do work for him. We need to wait on him, allow him to till the soil of our hearts. Then when the seed is planted, it will take root and produce fruit. If we do works, even good works, too soon, before he has prepared the soil, it will not produce fruit.

Mike – Do not be fearful. Our church will never be destroyed; it was established and paid for by His cross. We are to declare the victory, not the worries. He has promised to be with us always.

Adrienne – Saw rays of light going to mid-east, praying for peace there. Thought of things such as bombing in Boston. Asked what it all meant, and heard him say that it is about opportunity, consistent with everyone else’s word. These things are a wake-up call, they are an opportunity to draw close to him. “If you continue to pray, this can be an opportunity for me to turn this all around.” Saw that God wants to pour out his peace. Saw outline of Blessed Mother, very dark at first, then got brighter. She walked to each of us. She gathered each of our prayers. As she took them in her arms, they turned to flowers. She said she brings them to the Father. Each flower was different color, but all had white. White was Holy Spirit leading and guiding the prayer. Color was unique to each person because of how he has formed each of us and how Holy Spirit prays for us.

Betty – Saw flowers, one had blood at the top of the petals, sky with darkness covering the sunset, wind blowing the trees over. There was a sense of connection of all life, pall of death because of lack of faith of people. Spiritual is being left out of many lives. “I am the way the truth and the life.” We are asked to pray this Pentecost, to pray life, that the Holy Spirit will blow away death, Holy Spirit will bring truth and beauty into the world, brings the life that dispels the darkness.

Pattie - Raleigh NC - Alleluia! The Lord is telling us to wield the Sword of the Spirit, the offensive weapon of our warfare. Pray his Word, declare his Word, proclaim his Word. Hide his Word in our hearts to be ready to wield the Sword of the Spirit! “Bless the Lord oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord oh my soul, and forget not his benefits.” (Psalm 103).We have total freedom in Jesus Christ.

Ciria – Fresno CA - I saw a bride adorned in purest white. She wore a veil over her face and no one could see her face. She said her vows but did not come out from under the veil until the groom and bride were made one. There was an earthquake and the veil dropped from her face and she saw the groom and recognized him and saw his glory. Isaiah 25:7 “And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.” Eph. 5:23-32 “For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of his body, the church; he gave his life to be her Savior. As the church submits to Christ, so you wives must submit to your husbands in everything. And you husbands must love your wives with the same love Christ showed the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by baptism and God's word. He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault. In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man is actually loving himself when he loves his wife. No one hates his own body but lovingly cares for it, just as Christ cares for his body, which is the church. And we are his body.” As the Scriptures say, A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one." This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one.

Bryanna - Fresno CA - Moses and Aaron came to mind. Had a sense that we are to relate in this way in both our earthly marriages as well as our spiritual one.....He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him....(Exodus 4:16). In Christ we are the perfect image at the brazen laver. Cleansed and sanctified. We must see ourselves cleansed. Otherwise we have no confidence to move ahead in our destiny.

Madeleine – London UK - Prayed in tongues for a while, then had a vision of crowds of people tumbling down stairs, running away from something, but I did not know what! I then felt I was being shown what is happening today, people are running away from things they do not like, yet we know we should turn to Jesus for strength instead of shutting Him out and running away. I asked Jesus to strengthen us so that we can turn to Him and trust that He will sort things out for us. I was then led to Psalm 9:9-10, "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in time of trouble. Those who know your Name will trust in you, for you Lord have never forsaken those who seek you." Thank you Jesus. For being there for us!

Pat – Staten Island NY - Listen O my child hear Me, listen with your heart. Times are ready for me to come. The way is in preparation. There is no time to turn away. Come I will show you where I need you and yours. Feed no more on idle words. My Word is truth and will last forever. It will hold you up in the times ahead. Silence is needed to hear my voice. Habakkuk 2: 2,3. Write the vision and make it plain on tablets that he might run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time. But at the end it will speak and it will not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it. Because it will surely come. It will not tarry.

Martina – West Virginia - I saw Jesus set a banquet. He spread a white table cloth and invited us to the meal. All his chosen ones were around that table. He said ,"I set a table for you before your enemies, gather the wayward, lukewarm hearts, bring them all to Me the task is yours. I will guide you every step of the way, precious children I love you, your reward is great"

Nora – San Diego CA - I began to pray and suddenly I saw the images of some colorful and cute cartoon images. They looked like roots coming down a plant, but the plant happened to be the top cover of a place where we could not go out. I continued praying and others were praying against the lies that our society is teaching to our young children; teenagers and young adults. Even adults are living under the lies the world has been trying to make them believe. Sadly many parents these day are rebellious adults (against God) who have forgotten the main purpose of raising a family, under the covenant of God. Some of the lies our younger generations have been raised by, are immoral sexual relations, abortion, pornography and more. Lord Jesus we your children call by your Name, we pray that our Governmental leaders, Judges, City, Church as well as our family leaders, that they all will be convicted by your Holy Spirit and turn their faces and lives to you, crying out for your mercy, and we know you hear the voices of the repented hearts, and you will heal our land. Lord we cry out for a supernatural outpouring of your spirit of conviction over your children, and show them the truth and the light over all the lies they have been living before. Lord Jesus we pray for revival where any humanistic agenda will be destroy and your people will submit only to your agenda, we pray for the revival that will transform the minds and hearts of your people according to your Word and no to the lies and false promises of the world, in Jesus name we pray, Amen!

Virginia – Santa Barbara CA - I had a sense of calling into rightful positions, also
a financial miracle. Psalm 133 is the calling God is putting on the body of Christ.
Jesus prayed that we would be one as He and the Father are one.
(John 17:21-22)
Aaron's anointing is our call to priesthood. (Rev 1:6)
Life forever is the covering God has for each of His children.(John 6:51)
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1) Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
2) It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Coming down upon the beard,
Even Aaron’s beard,
Coming down upon the edge of his robes.
3) It is like the dew of Hermon, Coming down upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—life forever.

Tina – West Virginia - As I was praying I saw Jesus holding a staff in his left hand. He was looking over a large area of land. I saw sheep scattered over the land. I heard him say, gather my people. Gather those that are lost. Gather those that do not know Me. Gather those that have scattered. I am Yahweh, the great I Am. Much awaits those that seek me.

Pattie – Raleigh North Carolina - I feel very aware of the "mouthpiece" the Lord has provided for PTI participants "to speak to the nations!". Also, I feel instructed by the Lord to invite a new person to join PTI.

Prayer: Lord Jesus we lift these words to you. All that is from you, let it take root and produce fruit. That which is from our minds only, let it be washed away in your love. Teach us to listen.
Thank you Lord. Amen
