Power Tongues notes for April 6, 2014
Home Team:
(Note: A question has been raised about our praying for a specific theme to take to the members ahead of time. The core group decided to continue as we are because the Lord seems to bring his own theme from the gathered notes. However, each individual group could pray for a theme for their sessions if they choose.)
Linda S - This is what I saw in prayer: As we go beneath the surface, we’re digging a well in prayer. The well is the living water of our prayers. Most profound. Those we pray for are like little plants; we water the plant, like my standing before you (Adrienne) and just watering you in prayer, watering the plant that is you. We have no idea how powerful this is. The water might be a stream going into a reservoir, a waterfall, a big river. The Lord wants us to know the power of our simple prayers.
Rod – To confirm. And we are called to do what we can do to brighten our relationship with the Lord. If it is praying the rosary so be it, feeding the poor, so be it. Even simple little things. If we are concerned about what we are doing, bring it up to the Lord. Felt there was a battle going on, and we had to dig under the surface.
MaryEllen - Connected with the idea of going deep, under the consciousness. Lord I give you all my concerns. Realized that my friends’ concerns are real; people are in bondage. They have to let go and let God. The whole entire world needs to let go and let God. Prayed people let go and be free.
Linda M - Lord and I had a conversation. It was private.
Celine - Half the time, was led into a movie kind of thing. Dealing with preparing food. I was a chef, preparing the dish. Very limited vision. Like the folding of fish. Preparing lots of food. Little cakes with decorations. Like a party. God said smile, don’t be sad. Don’t complain.
Adrienne - Celine saw that the Lord was preparing a banquet. Not only physical. But there will be an outpouring, a spiritual banquet. He is preparing it. Work of all of heaven. That’s why there was so much food. A new kind is going to come.
Betty - “I am the light of the world, do not hide your light. Many souls are in darkness, they don’t see, like they’re in a tomb. Their hearts are like stone. They need light to get soft. They need prayers so the light can come through. I’ve given you a certain gift so you can be light.” Prayed for each one so we could be a light to the world. Look to your own hearts, are there any areas of darkness, that need light? During Lent, invite the Holy Spirit to come in and turn it into light. All the talents and gifts will be greater and more effective as light replaces the darkness. A lot of hearts are obdurate - hard of heart. Stubborn.
Bob Mitchel - Lord said, ‘Jesus became human to reveal the Father’s love for us. He suffered, died and was raised to give us new life’.
Shelly - I didn't get any particular words when I was praying, but my focus was on unity of God's people and that we world recognize that we all have a lot more ways that we are similar than we do differences. If we could recognize that, how much more quickly God's word would spread and peace could become a reality.
Mike Z - He is the light. Nothing is going to extinguish it. Many little ones turning to the Lord. He is saying be calm, be patient, work is being done. His plan is so much better than what we can come up with. Another wave coming. Youth are beginning to pay attention.
Theresa - He is filling us. Expanding us. ‘My ways are not your ways, trust me’. And I began shutting doors, spiritual doors of darkness and sinful generational strongholds.
Adrienne - Heard the word ‘surrender’. Then saw a flag pole, very tall, gold ball at top. As we prayed, the flag fell almost to the ground. The Lord said, ‘America, I’m calling you higher’. She saw the red stripes and the white stripes of the flag. Symbolized the blood that had been shed for freedom. White for the purity of intention and founding of our country. Red and white were significant of all different colors of the people. And the red and white symbolized the rays of his mercy. Calling us higher to return to his mercy. Saw darkness on west and east coast. Spots around country that were really black. Called on angels, to dissolve the darkness. Angels disintegrated the darkness.
Power Tongues Partners
Madeleine – London UK - "My child, release the tension the world throws at you and receive the peace and love I send you."
Pattie - Raleigh NC - Twenty minutes of Praise and Worship, contending tongues of prayer and song for suffering families!
Maria - North Carolina - I saw the ocean on a beautiful sunny day. I felt peaceful and could feel the power and majesty of God. I felt led to Psalm 97, which speaks of the glory of God's reign. Continuing to speak in tongues the verse came to my mind from Matthew 11:28: Come to Me, all who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. The Lord said to me when storms come at sea, sailors look for a lighthouse to find their way home. So it is with us. Jesus is our lighthouse. As long as we stay focused on His light we will be led out of the storm and safely reach home. Again I was led to scripture to Isaiah 42:10. Sing to the Lord a new song, His praise from the end of the earth! Let the sea roar and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants. Praise be to God.
Martina – West Virginia - Whilst praying I heard the word" Darkness." The world is in darkness, but it is my light that shines through. I give hope. Listen to the song "These are the days of Elijah" and ponder on the words. The Lord speaks of righteousness being restored, great famine and darkness and sword. He reminds us that we are the voice in the desert crying prepare the way…and finally, to lift our voices because out of Zion hill, salvation comes.
Tina – Morgantown, West Virginia – “My children, whilst you sleep I look over the world in humble abode. Each of you are my mouthpieces for the world to know that I love my people. Those who are hurting and dying without a hint of knowing me are the ones that I want you to reach. Go forth in the name of Jesus and make known the love I have for each person that I created. I called each of you personally to wander about the earth proclaiming the gospel of the Lord. At this Lenten season, be faithful and true to your call. Know that you have my permission to do here on earth what I cannot do as I need servants who will be bold and proclaim my biblical prophecies. Much will come to pass in each of your lives in the future and you will know that you will serve me all the days of your lives. There is no room for wayward thoughts. Be focused on me and me alone. The world has nothing to offer. There are many empty promises. Be prepared for the thereafter at all times as one never knows the moment the hour or the day. Your families will be blessed because of your faithfulness. Some do not serve me now, but will in the days to come. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. What more do you need to know? Be humble. Do not live in the world seeking materialisms. My Mother's mantle is upon you.
Mary – Anthem AZ - Psalm 51:11-12. Let the rivers flow. Come to the refreshing waters of life. Let me
renew your spirit. Peace comes from above. Peace comes from prayer. Live in my peace. Deuteronomy 30:11 Rest in me. Love, Jesus!”
Hilda - Bolingbrook, IL - There was a power struggle between darkness and light but the word of God, manifested itself for the word, says wherever there is light, darkness cannot comprehend. I was shown in the spirit an unwinding road that was so bright. The road was so wide and well lighted and beautiful. The spirit of the Lord spoke expressly that there is going to be divine acceleration for his people. A turn around for all that are called by his Name for his purpose. I thank God for this victory because I know there is contention for the PTI group we just started here in this location. Please keep us in your prayer. God bless and have a fulfilling week.
Maura - North Carolina. The scripture I opened to was one I have received often lately: John 15 “Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. As the Father loves me, so I love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. This is my commandment: Love one another as I love you.”
Pat – Staten Island NY - Come close to me, I call you by name, I know your every need. Stop now, listen, be still, hear me. Why do you hesitate? I will not hurt you or make you ashamed. I love you and want you to turn to me and trust my leading. Go my way and you will be safe and protected, nothing will harm you or yours. Wait on me before you go forward. Take each step in faith in me. You will know my leading by the prompting of my Holy Spirit. Stay close. Jeremiah. 1:8: Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you
says the Lord. Psalm 34, v. 5: I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 25: 2 - 5: O my God I trust in You. Let me not be ashamed. Let not my enemies triumph over me. Indeed let no one who waits on You be ashamed. Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause, show me Your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me. For you are the Lord of my salvation on You I wait all the day. Exodus 33, v. 17: So the Lord said to Moses. "I. Will also do this thing that you have spoken for you have spoken you have found grace in my sight, and I know you by name."
Mallory – Tonight I was led to intercessory prayer. I waited to pray until someone was brought to mind then I prayed in tongues for them. Names came quickly. I was surprised at some of the names.
Fresno team
Dear Prayer Partners of PTI, Every time we come together, the Lord blesses. Never the same way, yet always faithful to deliver his word to our spirits. Thank You for your special prayer for our need. It came at a crucial point in our lives. The enemy, the accuser of the brethren, has not stopped his mouth. Yet our precious High Priest mediates and bridges the love and forgiveness between us and our Father. This is the comfort or God's people and the consolation of the Lord God our Father. Believe in faith, believe, the Holy Spirit that works through us keeps us ever focused on the Ancient of Days, and these voices raised up and together like incense, precious prayers and tears are gathered up and delivered before God's Throne.
(Note from Linda Schubert: The Fresno group’s notes are much more extensive than recorded here. If you want the full text, email me and I will give you their contact information.)
Ciria - Fresno -I see a hill of comfort and it is the hill of Calvary; it is the “Kingdom” the house called
“Consolation of God” and builded with the wood of this cross; the “Dominion” is made of “Redeemed” we are the temple founded upon the chief corner stone. He is the riven rock, who was riven by the spear which pierced his side. (Read Zechariah 3:1-10, Romans 23-24, Rev 22:1-4.)
Maya - Fresno - There is no true humanity where there is no divinity 2 Peter:1:4. Also read
Daniel 4:13, 7:13-18.
Closing prayer: Lord we lift these words to you. That which you wanted us to speak, we pray that we spoke as you wish, and that it would bear much fruit. We are learning to listen. We know it is imperfect. So we thank you that you will make up the difference and that your work will be accomplished. We continue to desire to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Next “training in listening” session is May 4
God bless,

Power Tongues notes for March 2, 2014
(Personal note: The evening with the home group was especially difficult for some reason. It was hard to break through. Rod went around the room anointing each of us at the beginning, and again half way through. Then he took holy water and went around the room once more. There was finally a measure of breakthrough.)
PTI Home Team
PTI Home Team
Theresa - Offered up a grieving to the Lord. Saw ashes and incense lifted to the Lord. At the very end a little stream of black smoke went up, all given to the Lord.
Linda S - Everything was about lifting up. Cutting away glue, cutting away all kinds of stuff, under girding, God’s hand going under to uphold. Some were standing, some lying down. Sense of encouragement, sense of God looking us in the eye and saying 'I hear you'.
Barbara - Hard work getting started. He's giving new life to each of us here. More than spiritual, physical too. He's pleased with our PTI family here. It was deliverance in the beginning.
Mike - Be patient, don't be discouraged.
Linda M - Lord was setting the table, and asking us to bring all to the table so he can heal us. He's going to reach us in a new level.
Rod - Even though there is discouragement, we're to stay completely loyal. Need to clean the slate every day, any people we have offended. Need to claim the land that the Lord has given us, not just physical land, all kinds of territory.
Mary Ellen – Saw a huge army. Heard, ‘We know not what to do but our eyes are on you’.
Bob - Lord saying this Lent is going to be a time of great positive growth and he will pour out blessings on us. It was this kind of focus as opposed to giving up things and being negative.
Betty -Nothing for a while, then saw a door, dingy, reddish brown. The handle was beautiful crystal. Between the cracks there was light. Many hands were reaching the handle, flames shot out. But it was a mixture of good and evil behind the door. Disguised as good but evil instead. People expecting good behind the door but it was not good. When they open the door need help to reveal the truth. Need an army to build up the virtues mighty in love, faithfulness, perseverance. As Rod was coming around with extra blessing and holy water, it was exactly what God was doing, strengthening us to be that army to fight evil.
Shelly – Heard the Lord say, “You hunger and thirst because you don't see the banqueting table I have prepared for you. Open your eyes and see the feast. It is time to stop walking around gaunt and undernourished. Enjoy the feast that I have prepared for you and be strengthened.
Adrienne – Had a hard time hearing what the Lord wanted to tell me. Sensed a grieving, but didn’t understand what was bringing tears. Didn't know what it was for. Then heard,“In the darkness my light shines much brighter. Do not fear.” Then young men who were burned to death in Nigeria came to mind. Then saw a wall in Eastern Europe, and saw angels fighting spiritual battle in that area.
PTI Partners
Pat – Staten Island - "I am here right now, just rest in me and let not your mind wander.
Stay near, stay close. Keep in my Spirit and do not fear. So much is happening and you must hear my voice - no other. When you see ripples in the sand, stand back, a path will appear for you to make your way. As you walk I will be with you. You will know me without a doubt. I am sending many to go forth and speak my Word. Stand with them and give them what I tell you to spread my message. Remove any thorns or thickets that try to block them. Time is so important and critical. Waste no time. Keep listening for me to guide you. Stay tuned in at all times, even when you least expect to hear me. Stay alert. Titus 3:1 - 2: “Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable , gentle, showing all humility to all men.” John 10:2 - 5: But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him for they know his voice.”
Martina – West Virginia - I saw Jesus in the midst of white clouds, the prayer warriors were praying with hands lifted up. He said "Do not fear, I hold you in the palm of my hands. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Fear not the atrocities of the world. I am in control. I will bring peace into this troubled world. Lean not on the pleasures of this world; instead lean on me." He touched each one and said, "My faithful ones, my remnant few, I will bless you and all your sorrows will turn into joy. Come closer to my divine heart."
Fresno CA group: Our prayer time together was longer than usual. The Spirit of the Lord is speaking to our hearts, wooing us back to prayer and repentance. We fool ourselves into believing that we are worthy of all that our Lord has promised. We talk the talk but are not walking the walk. Heartfelt and true remorse is required from us. May God help us to be humble servants and may we all bless his name when trials weigh heavily upon us. These trials help mold us and make us turn to our blessed Lord. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord, Praise ye the Lord.
Maya - Fresno CA - Colossians 4:1-6 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven. Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Vision: There was a thin layer of snow where mud showed through the snow and there were trees which were very dark like shadowy outlines. The place felt breathtaking, loneliness, desolate and cutoff. Then I saw an armored man standing there and he had complete victory. He was armored with God’s armor. He wore the Helmet of Wisdom. He was a leader and he considered others first, before himself.
Ciria – Fresno CA - Vision: I saw a deep uncovered burial ground where mighty men of old and renown and whose hearts were filled with wickedness and every imagination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. Great men who were powerful, famous and rich lay unburied there. There bones dried and broken into chalk. Buried next to their bodies was the armor and weapons. The greatest of the pharaohs were also fallen there buried with their servants and riches. The exceeding powerful leaders whose pride ruined them were unburied there. They were destroyed by their weapons of mass destruction. Standing nearby was a man who was wearing upon his feet olive leaves, which represent peace. Ezekiel: 32:3-10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “‘With a great throng of people I will cast my net over you, and they will haul you up in my net. I will throw you on the land and hurl you on the open field. I will let all the birds of the sky settle on you and all the animals of the wild gorge themselves on you. I will spread your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains. I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh. When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light. All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you; I will bring darkness over your land, declares the Sovereign Lord. I will trouble the hearts of many peoples when I bring about your destruction among the nations, among lands you have not known. I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you, and their kings will shudder with horror because of you when I brandish my sword before them. On the day of your downfall”, each of them will tremble every moment for his life.”
Noah - Fresno CA - Psalms 34:15-22 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the broken and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.” Then Isaiah 66:12-16 - For this is what the Lord says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.” When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes. See, the Lord is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with his sword the Lord will execute judgment on all people, and many will be those slain by the Lord.
Melina – Fresno CA - Romans 5:16-21 “And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification. For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Reflection: We all have to have faith and peace in God and trust that we will suffer through the parts in life where the people and situations get out of control and chaotic. We have to keep in mind that when we chose the easy way out, where there is no eternal promise. We end up hurting ourselves and cutting ourselves short. We will become farther and farther away from God. We can be wise people, who decide to reject violence physically and verbally, are the people who keep their rational minds. Those who don’t decide to reject violence physically and verbally are also those who keep their rational minds alive. Those who don’t decide to reject violence will make it harder for them to come back to God. The lazier people get in their belief and prayers makes it harder for other people and themselves to find the Lord, but it’s not impossible!
Twyla – Fresno CA - I saw men bound to the earth with chains around their necks, feet and hands. Somewhere suffering and wailing. While others thumb their noses at God with a prideful spirit and refuse to show any signs of torment or pain. They say in their hearts “I will not surrender to God”. I saw clouds of Gods people ascending up from the earth rejoicing before God for deliverance, because they were once bond as well. Psalms 107:10-14 “Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.”
David – Fresno CA - Psalms 32:5 “I acknowledged my sin unto thee, Neither hid mine iniquity; for I thought I will confess against myself my wickedness unto the Lord and thou forgavest the punishment of my sin.” Our sins are forgiven and blessings come with confession and repentance. Pardon and relief is in finding Christ. The glory of the cross is revealed in the blood that blots out our sin.
Liz – Pennsylvania – “Do not let the sun rise on your anger. Forgive those who have harmed you. Allow the Spirit to wash over you and cleanse you of all bitterness. The world is on the brink of war that can only be stopped by prayer and fasting. Come to me and I will teach you all that you need to know." Reading: 1Jn 1:7 “the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.”
Pattie - Raleigh NC: One of God's names and a series of words came to me during my prayer tongues: "Ancient of Days." Do not be fearful. Fear robs our faith. Be still, be at peace, listen for my instructions. Do not be a parrot (of others teachings), but hear directly from me. Rest! Amen.
Madeleine – London UK - After prayer in tongues, I got a picture of Jesus looking sad, I asked "Jesus have I offended you?" He answered "No, I am tired of people swearing." I felt the need to pray against swearing by praying for the people who do swear that they will be aware how much it offends Jesus! "Lord Jesus we repent of this if we are guilty, and on behalf of others who might not even notice that they are doing this because they are so used to it, we are asking on their behalf for forgiveness and the strength to stop doing it, and that they may praise You instead! We ask you Father in the name of your precious Son Jesus Christ! Amen."
Note from Hilda in Illinois: Calvary greetings in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We bless the Name of our Lord Jesus for allowing us to be part of this great move of the Holy Spirit. This great experience is life changing for us. It was a fulfilling one and we all felt lighter. It seems like a heavy load just left our bodies. We are renewed and refreshed. One of us felt a release from the shackles that has blinded her. We bless the Lord for the outpouring of his Love through the Holy Spirit. I pray that the Lord who has begun a new thing in our lives will surely perfect it, in Jesus’ Name.
Hilda - Boolingbrook, IL - Heard the voice confirming his presence in our midst. He has released his power on us to proclaim his message of Luke 4:18, thereby spreading the good news of his Kingdom to all around. He wants us to listen to his voice and obey.
Kemi – Boolingbrook IL There is an urgent need to pray for God to avert any form of terrorist attack on this nation.
Funmi - Boolingbrook IL - Heard a song of victory. Chains and shackles have been broken.
Mallory – Minnesota - Gone were the still waters that I have seen in the past as Jesus hung on His cross. His cross was on top of a very high hill that was full of rocks. He hung on the cross looking out over a sea of people. At first I thought they were there praising the Lamb, but then I realized that these people were screaming at him and cursing him. They were a great distance away from the cross, but I felt that they hated Jesus with their entire beings. I turned to intercessory prayer for them. My tongues slowed down considerably when I did this. Then I looked out on the crowd again, and there was nothing there but a huge, black hole. Jesus still hung on His cross, and there was nothing in the distance but silence and a huge black hole. There were a few people near the cross who had climbed the rocky hill and they were clinging to the cross. Then I looked out at the hole again, and people were beginning to come out of the hole, and this time they were praising Jesus. There weren't as many who had been cursing Jesus, but a few were coming out of this black hole and running towards the cross. We need to pray so that more souls will be saved by the gift of the cross and the Lamb of God.
Katie – Carmel Indiana – “Follow Me. Don't be afraid. Learn my voice.” Saw a nest of bird eggs waiting to hatch. Felt warmth and safety but knew they would hatch and be vulnerable and weak. Need to be fed, waiting to be fed. It's hungry, uncomfortable. This is me right now. I want so much to be fed by the Father. Many many want to be fed. And like the mother bird it's exactly the right amount at the right time. This is how God works. See so many souls like that hungry bird. How do we feed them all? One soul at a time. The Lord says, “Stay hungry for me. Stay vigilant. Those birds feed and fight for strength then gain it and get their wings. They fly. I need hungry children. Hungry to listen and follow me.”
Closing Prayer: As always, Lord, we ask you to sort out what is from you and what is only from our own natural thoughts. Keep us vigilant, hungry to listen and share what we learn from you. We return all of these words now to you. That which is truly from you, let it take root and produce much fruit. Wash away any impurities and let the best grow and multiply as we learn to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Next session is April 6. Love and prayers,

Martina – West Virginia - I saw Jesus in the midst of white clouds, the prayer warriors were praying with hands lifted up. He said "Do not fear, I hold you in the palm of my hands. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Fear not the atrocities of the world. I am in control. I will bring peace into this troubled world. Lean not on the pleasures of this world; instead lean on me." He touched each one and said, "My faithful ones, my remnant few, I will bless you and all your sorrows will turn into joy. Come closer to my divine heart."
Fresno CA group: Our prayer time together was longer than usual. The Spirit of the Lord is speaking to our hearts, wooing us back to prayer and repentance. We fool ourselves into believing that we are worthy of all that our Lord has promised. We talk the talk but are not walking the walk. Heartfelt and true remorse is required from us. May God help us to be humble servants and may we all bless his name when trials weigh heavily upon us. These trials help mold us and make us turn to our blessed Lord. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord, Praise ye the Lord.
Maya - Fresno CA - Colossians 4:1-6 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven. Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Vision: There was a thin layer of snow where mud showed through the snow and there were trees which were very dark like shadowy outlines. The place felt breathtaking, loneliness, desolate and cutoff. Then I saw an armored man standing there and he had complete victory. He was armored with God’s armor. He wore the Helmet of Wisdom. He was a leader and he considered others first, before himself.
Ciria – Fresno CA - Vision: I saw a deep uncovered burial ground where mighty men of old and renown and whose hearts were filled with wickedness and every imagination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. Great men who were powerful, famous and rich lay unburied there. There bones dried and broken into chalk. Buried next to their bodies was the armor and weapons. The greatest of the pharaohs were also fallen there buried with their servants and riches. The exceeding powerful leaders whose pride ruined them were unburied there. They were destroyed by their weapons of mass destruction. Standing nearby was a man who was wearing upon his feet olive leaves, which represent peace. Ezekiel: 32:3-10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “‘With a great throng of people I will cast my net over you, and they will haul you up in my net. I will throw you on the land and hurl you on the open field. I will let all the birds of the sky settle on you and all the animals of the wild gorge themselves on you. I will spread your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains. I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh. When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light. All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you; I will bring darkness over your land, declares the Sovereign Lord. I will trouble the hearts of many peoples when I bring about your destruction among the nations, among lands you have not known. I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you, and their kings will shudder with horror because of you when I brandish my sword before them. On the day of your downfall”, each of them will tremble every moment for his life.”
Noah - Fresno CA - Psalms 34:15-22 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the broken and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned. The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.” Then Isaiah 66:12-16 - For this is what the Lord says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.” When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes. See, the Lord is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with his sword the Lord will execute judgment on all people, and many will be those slain by the Lord.
Melina – Fresno CA - Romans 5:16-21 “And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification. For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Reflection: We all have to have faith and peace in God and trust that we will suffer through the parts in life where the people and situations get out of control and chaotic. We have to keep in mind that when we chose the easy way out, where there is no eternal promise. We end up hurting ourselves and cutting ourselves short. We will become farther and farther away from God. We can be wise people, who decide to reject violence physically and verbally, are the people who keep their rational minds. Those who don’t decide to reject violence physically and verbally are also those who keep their rational minds alive. Those who don’t decide to reject violence will make it harder for them to come back to God. The lazier people get in their belief and prayers makes it harder for other people and themselves to find the Lord, but it’s not impossible!
Twyla – Fresno CA - I saw men bound to the earth with chains around their necks, feet and hands. Somewhere suffering and wailing. While others thumb their noses at God with a prideful spirit and refuse to show any signs of torment or pain. They say in their hearts “I will not surrender to God”. I saw clouds of Gods people ascending up from the earth rejoicing before God for deliverance, because they were once bond as well. Psalms 107:10-14 “Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.”
David – Fresno CA - Psalms 32:5 “I acknowledged my sin unto thee, Neither hid mine iniquity; for I thought I will confess against myself my wickedness unto the Lord and thou forgavest the punishment of my sin.” Our sins are forgiven and blessings come with confession and repentance. Pardon and relief is in finding Christ. The glory of the cross is revealed in the blood that blots out our sin.
Liz – Pennsylvania – “Do not let the sun rise on your anger. Forgive those who have harmed you. Allow the Spirit to wash over you and cleanse you of all bitterness. The world is on the brink of war that can only be stopped by prayer and fasting. Come to me and I will teach you all that you need to know." Reading: 1Jn 1:7 “the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.”
Pattie - Raleigh NC: One of God's names and a series of words came to me during my prayer tongues: "Ancient of Days." Do not be fearful. Fear robs our faith. Be still, be at peace, listen for my instructions. Do not be a parrot (of others teachings), but hear directly from me. Rest! Amen.
Madeleine – London UK - After prayer in tongues, I got a picture of Jesus looking sad, I asked "Jesus have I offended you?" He answered "No, I am tired of people swearing." I felt the need to pray against swearing by praying for the people who do swear that they will be aware how much it offends Jesus! "Lord Jesus we repent of this if we are guilty, and on behalf of others who might not even notice that they are doing this because they are so used to it, we are asking on their behalf for forgiveness and the strength to stop doing it, and that they may praise You instead! We ask you Father in the name of your precious Son Jesus Christ! Amen."
Note from Hilda in Illinois: Calvary greetings in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We bless the Name of our Lord Jesus for allowing us to be part of this great move of the Holy Spirit. This great experience is life changing for us. It was a fulfilling one and we all felt lighter. It seems like a heavy load just left our bodies. We are renewed and refreshed. One of us felt a release from the shackles that has blinded her. We bless the Lord for the outpouring of his Love through the Holy Spirit. I pray that the Lord who has begun a new thing in our lives will surely perfect it, in Jesus’ Name.
Hilda - Boolingbrook, IL - Heard the voice confirming his presence in our midst. He has released his power on us to proclaim his message of Luke 4:18, thereby spreading the good news of his Kingdom to all around. He wants us to listen to his voice and obey.
Kemi – Boolingbrook IL There is an urgent need to pray for God to avert any form of terrorist attack on this nation.
Funmi - Boolingbrook IL - Heard a song of victory. Chains and shackles have been broken.
Mallory – Minnesota - Gone were the still waters that I have seen in the past as Jesus hung on His cross. His cross was on top of a very high hill that was full of rocks. He hung on the cross looking out over a sea of people. At first I thought they were there praising the Lamb, but then I realized that these people were screaming at him and cursing him. They were a great distance away from the cross, but I felt that they hated Jesus with their entire beings. I turned to intercessory prayer for them. My tongues slowed down considerably when I did this. Then I looked out on the crowd again, and there was nothing there but a huge, black hole. Jesus still hung on His cross, and there was nothing in the distance but silence and a huge black hole. There were a few people near the cross who had climbed the rocky hill and they were clinging to the cross. Then I looked out at the hole again, and people were beginning to come out of the hole, and this time they were praising Jesus. There weren't as many who had been cursing Jesus, but a few were coming out of this black hole and running towards the cross. We need to pray so that more souls will be saved by the gift of the cross and the Lamb of God.
Katie – Carmel Indiana – “Follow Me. Don't be afraid. Learn my voice.” Saw a nest of bird eggs waiting to hatch. Felt warmth and safety but knew they would hatch and be vulnerable and weak. Need to be fed, waiting to be fed. It's hungry, uncomfortable. This is me right now. I want so much to be fed by the Father. Many many want to be fed. And like the mother bird it's exactly the right amount at the right time. This is how God works. See so many souls like that hungry bird. How do we feed them all? One soul at a time. The Lord says, “Stay hungry for me. Stay vigilant. Those birds feed and fight for strength then gain it and get their wings. They fly. I need hungry children. Hungry to listen and follow me.”
Closing Prayer: As always, Lord, we ask you to sort out what is from you and what is only from our own natural thoughts. Keep us vigilant, hungry to listen and share what we learn from you. We return all of these words now to you. That which is truly from you, let it take root and produce much fruit. Wash away any impurities and let the best grow and multiply as we learn to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Next session is April 6. Love and prayers,

Power Tongues notes for February 2, 2014
Home Team
Linda – Saw a winding road, with twists and turns and hairpin curves. Heard Lord say, “Relax into the turns.” When I asked him, “What’s the purpose of this vision?” He replied, “Stay on the road.”
Theresa – “I am anchoring you to myself, cleansing and purifying you.” Saw blanket of insulation around each of us. He was wrapping each of us individually in protection, insulation.
Mike – Heard, “Only the Father knows what work is to be done.” Then the Lord said, “Do the work that my Father wants you to do. Don’t worry about where it’s going. Do what he wants and he knows where it’s going.”
Rod – they uttered a mighty cry…water from spring – Esther A7-10. Praying for older people, for protection for them, that Lord brings forth a way to protect from being taken advantage of.
Adrienne – Saw curtains of white and red light, like rays of mercy. Then saw burlap, huge piece , bottom was tightly woven. Top was threads that were loose. Dark clouds in one corner, then kept hearing word ‘unity’. “ I’m gathering my people to unity, to being one, I’m forming an army.” Threads that were tightly woven were already unified, purified – work was continuing. “I’m forming an army and I have placed my Mother and my Spirit in charge. This army will be her cohort. Tools and armor will be prayer, patience, healing, gentleness, love.” Saw grass. The word “grassroots” kept coming, at the grassroots level this will happen. As he was unifying and purifying us, giving us gifts, that we would be ministers of that light to others. Then asking the Lord to unify us (power tongues group) one in mind, heart with each other and with him. Saw big band going through us all and binding us all together. He was saying it’s not going to be through politics or war with bombs, etc, it will be through grassroots, like what Jesus did in public ministry.
Barbara – Woven into Adrienne’s word – prayed for Holy Father, for protection, for leading the army that Adrienne saw. So many people are trying to use evil related to him and Lord is turning it around. Had awesome sense of unity right now, for us in group, for church, and that Holy Father will be leading this army, that it is turning around for Lord’s glory. Lord is turning distortion around. Prayer for protection is very important.
Betty – Right away when we started, saw a blue egg. Symbol of new life. The Lord said “There is a drought in your land but greater drought in people for my word. Every time you make sign of cross, seal yourself in baptismal promises. Through your love, you will water the graces that I am putting into the hearts and souls. The old hurts, fears, resentments, woundedness will pass away. New life will take place, new creation and Holy Spirit will renew the face of the earth.”
Mary Ellen – heard word “Father.” We are all his little children; we don’t need to understand, just trust.
Stella – Praying for god daughter, then saw he was asking for surrender in order to receive gifts of the Spirit.
Regina – mercy – prayed for mercy. Felt lighter, warmth, like an embrace.
Shelly – Prayed for mercy, that we would have wisdom to share his love while still respecting
people’s culture, boundaries, lives. That we would invite others into his love in a nurturing, accepting way. Draw them to him with love. Prayed for wisdom for each of us to be able to be able to share his love, the truths of the church, with mercy and love.

(Note from Ciria in Fresno: It is a privilege to serve God with you. Our prayer time here is never the same, always changing and forming us here in Fresno. There is nothing more exciting than our participation with the Holy Spirit. None of us here have ever prayed this way before. Proof is in the change we see in ourselves because of prayer and Jesus' mercy. We are so thankful.)
Fresno Group:
Catch the foxes — the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes!" Song of Songs 2:15
Therefore, says inspired Wisdom, "Catch the foxes — the little foxes that spoil the vines," which is equivalent to saying, "I know you will keep out the more hateful and destructive full-grown foxes by stopping all the large holes in the vineyard fence; your danger lies in overlooking the smaller gaps by which the little foxes may enter, and thus spoil your vines by robbing them of the tender grapes (blossoms)."
It is a grievous thought that the harvest of the fruit of my life would become lessened or spoiled by those small but significant foxes in my life that tear away the blossoms, the fruit. Lord help us to stand before you with a fruitful life, a full and bountiful harvest and delicious fruit. Today Lord multiply the fruit in my life a hundredfold. Give me the strength to surpass my weaknesses and fear and those deeds which have a unfruitful hold me, not hold me back anymore.
Lord let me trust in you and resist the fretfulness which is a fox, even though it is the smallest, he is the ugliest and most destructive. This fox disturbs daily and nightly visits. He eats and destroys, is nothing compared to what he sours and soils! What causes fretfulness comes from physical ailment, or ill-health. Perhaps nothing produces so much fretfulness as this. Violent headaches, lack of sleep, shattered nerves, overwrought brains — sadly interfere with serenity of disposition and sweetness of temper.
Lord keep my mind stayed on you, keep me in perfect peace. Fretfulness is often induced by an overheated, or too powerful, imagination. Fretting is more frequently produced by what is feared — than by what is suffered; by what the imagination borrows from the future — rather than by what the mind or body endures in the present. And who has a pen sufficiently graphic to paint the horrors that may be produced by a powerful imagination, when it is of a gloomy or foreboding nature? Many people fret because their imaginations make airy nothings appear to be sad realities.
Lord may I overcome and avoid worry. "So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.". “I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content," says Paul when speaking of himself, and when advising others, "We beseech you, brethren, that you study to be quiet." If our Lord taught the blessedness of a calm and quiet spirit in the far-off days in which He lived, and great men recognize the special force and application of such teaching to the present state of society — surely it will be our wisdom to put it into daily practice without more ado. He who can go through the tumults of life without tumultuousness — or being worried by them — will not have great difficulty in avoiding a fretful spirit. "Come unto me," said Jesus, "and I will give you rest."
Lord I will not meddle or make another’s faith trivial. I will not carry on a petty, shifty, or unethical thinking, word or deed. Trifling is the deadly fox that utterly spoils the vineyard he frequents, tearing the tender vines and crushing the choice grapes beyond all redemption.
Lord make me sober in the faith. I will not be over-sensitive. I mean an abnormal, unhealthy, or over-active condition of either the physical, mental, or spiritual senses. This "little fox" is often seen, and destroys much good. He is wide awake, has the quickest eye, the keenest sense, the strongest scent, and the most finely-strung nervous organization. Unhappily, he always frequents the best vineyards. Vines of coarse growth, crude foliage, and average fruit are not often molested by him — but the most precious vines and the most luscious grapes, rarely escape his unwelcome attentions.
Henceforth, Lord I will pray, but my cries for help will only be cries for guidance. Never will I pray for material things. Only for guidance will I pray, that I may be shown the way to acquire these things, and my prayers will be answered. Spare me sufficient days to reach these goals; yet help me to live this day as though it be my last. Let me become all you planned for me when my seed was planted and selected by you to sprout and bring forth much fruit in the vineyard in your kingdom and witness to this world.
Melina - Fresno CA - There is nothing that can replace the love that god has for ALL of his people and if we try our best to adopt that same power we will almost be living happily. Its hard to give someone your love after you have been hard because you have to open your heart up which would leave you vulnerable to get hurt by people who don’t care to be loving, understanding, and not so critical ...or it may seem to be like that. However, in the scripture its states that "love fulfills the law" from Romans 13:8-10. On that note the bible also says: "if you rebel against authority and dishonor what God has placed there in authority, then you will bring judgment onto yourself. I found this in Romans 13:2
Ron - Fresno, CA - Isaiah 13& 14: 1-23. The Fall of Babylon.
Ciria - Fresno CA - Romans 8:28-29 But we do know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose. Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestined [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.
Maya - Fresno CA - Exodus 9:23-25
Maria - North Carolina - As I was praying in tongues I began to get an image of a tunnel that was all white. I could feel in my spirit that the path was good. The Lord was saying “Step out in faith my child. Do not be afraid. There is much ground to cover.” I also sensed the presence of a male lion roaring but at peace and rest. I felt the prompting to read Hebrews 4:7. "He once more set a day, "today," when long afterwords he spoke through David, as already quoted, "Oh that today you would hear his voice: 'Harden not your hearts.'" I then heard “Let us go to the throne room of grace. There sits the ancient of days. Keep yourself free from sin.”
Maura – North Carolina - "Many people today live together. They love each other and live together without the conjugal commitment. It cannot be so with us. I am committed to you, giving my life to you so you may live. You need to be in total commitment to me, as a sacramental marriage compared to a couple living together. Our commitment to each other is to be a total, complete, non-reversible, conjugal commitment." Also Hosea 10 (against adultery).
Liz – Pennsylvania - I saw a garden of beautiful flowers of every pastel color. I didn’t see the Gardener but I heard him say, “Look, I have planted new seed in the garden and it blooms and covers the earth with beauty.” I could then see that the garden grew beyond the horizon and could imagine that it covered the world as the Gardener said. I heard, “In each one, I see the Father’s love and in turn, they radiate his love.” The garden is beautiful, yet simple. Rays of light flood the garden, each flower is illuminated as though it were the only flower in the garden. There is an awesome peace here. (Note: The peace that I felt was overwhelming. Earlier in the week the Lord gave me this instruction: First, he asked me to pray for a simple and guileless heart and secondly, to accept the peace he offers.)
Sion - Cerritos, CA - “My wish is to have the charisms of the Holy Spirit used in your evangelization efforts. Those called by my Father shall possess the power to heal, to teach, to give hope to the hopeless and many more.”I then saw a deep big round well, the Lord said “Good hearted people shall not go to that well.” In another corner, I saw the Lord anointing people one by one, it was as if they were passing through the Lord to go to heaven. The place was surrounded by clouds, by cherubim singing wonderfully and big bold colorful flowers. The Lord then said, “Those with illnesses, they suffer and receive the graces to withstand their sufferings; their purpose is to keep praying to bring souls from purgatory to heaven. They should not despair, rather, know that salvation is at hand for those who carry my cross. Then, “ Keep a clean, humble and pliable heart; you are all my apostles, I love you all.”
Pat O – Staten Island NY - “Hold on and listen, there is not much time. I am right here,so close to you, nothing can separate us. I have asked you to cling to me and I will guide you. Don't be confused, I will clarify the way as you cling. Stay on course, read my word, it is food for your soul. Truth is what I bring you and your trust must be complete. You will not fail me, if you follow me. And I will be waiting for you to reach out to those I send you to and have prepared to hear you and receive my word. Go, go and do not look back. We are moving forward together in Peace and Truth. (2 Timothy 3,10 - 4, 5. “But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long suffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me in Antioch at Iconium, at Lystra - what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of knowing from whom you learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scriptures is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work…I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom. Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth; and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”
Martina – West Virginia - I saw a choir of angels sent to the earth, a white dove on each participant. His glory light shed on us. "Spread my message of love, I will never leave you nor forsake you" Drop by drop his blood was shed on the earth."I will cleanse you, break every chain, bondage, with my blood you will be set free, be made whole."
Closing prayer: Lord Jesus, we lift these words to you. They are imperfect, inadequate, but from the hearts of those who love you and are seeking to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. That which is from your heart, let them take root and produce much fruit. That which is from our own understanding, let them be washed away in your perfect love. Thank you for the grace of this time. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.

Power Tongues notes for January 5, 2014
(Personal experience from Linda Schubert: On early Sunday morning, January 5, 2014, my niece called from the Oregon hospital where my sister Cherrill was fighting for her life with ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease. She put the phone on speaker near my sister. For the next hour I prayed in tongues from my home in San Jose, as strangling, agonizing sounds came from my sister who was unable to speak. It was an hour I will remember forever. I was huddled in bed, tears streaming down my face, as I cried out in tongues to God for mercy for my only sister. A few hours later she went home to Jesus. There was a clear sense in my spirit that I helped pave the way to her journey home to Jesus.) Dearest PTI, let’s not make light of the work we are doing in prayer tongues.
PTI Home Team:
Linda – Heard the words ‘right order’ – right order in the heavenlies. The Lord said, “Don’t’ get in the way by praying for your will, but pray for my will.”
Rod - We need to be prepared for this time. Lumination and transparency are the words I heard, and also heard intercessory prayer. We need to come to these times prepared. There was sense of imploring people to pour out love not just on those who are easy to love but also the ones that are difficult to love.
Theresa – Saw cleansing water washing over us. Heard “Your sins are forgiven and washed away. ” Also, “You must pull up tent peg and move it out. Extend it wide or else you cannot contain all I am about to pour out. You are about to see grace you have never tasted before. How? Take a look at what you are clinging to – Let it go!” Then I asked, “Oh, what am I clinging to?” Lord answered, “Keep your eyes on me, seek me, look for me. My Spirit will reveal those ideas you have that are not from me.. Do not be caught off guard. Pay attention, stay alert. I am washing away the old.”
Barbara – Received personal message for each one here. The Lord was releasing new beginnings and right order within us. Love for each of our families. Kept hearing “new beginnings.” Confirms Theresa’s word.
Mike – Felt drawn to consider words of St. Paul, about watching the words we teach, being aware of what we teach others, being aware and walk in the truth. About telling people that Jesus is alive and he is here for us. He has something for every one of us
Chuck – Saw the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island. New evangelization of people reaching into homes. Saw map of our local area, and prayed for these areas. Then praying for God to bring his gifts to us. A release of spiritual gifts on the group, praying for healing and receiving words of knowledge. Reference to St. Patrick. God wants to raise up people who will change nations. St. Patrick changed Ireland. We need to operate in the spiritual gifts, pray for neighbors, ask God to do things beyond our expectation, to do the impossible.
Mary Ellen – Thinking of Our Lady of Guadalupe. When she came, 10 million people were converted. Graces are coming through her, grace to know how to be his instruments in the new evangelation,
JP – Saw tongues of fire; saw them moved to empty cross, all over it, all around it, saw angels kneeling down, bowing, saw person in white robe standing there (Jesus). Beautiful. Then felt presence here, whole roof was filled with angels. Even with my eyes closed I could see person in white robe hugging each of us. Could see it clearly even with closed eyes. Saw shepherd and heard “fear not.”
Susan – Felt darkness, deep dark clouds, becoming light grey as we pressed on. Felt we needed to keep praying. Then as we were ending, suddenly saw brightness and light and presence of Lord, the King. That’s what came right at the end. The clouds were gone just like that, like a breakthrough.
Linda Mc – Saw curtain unzipping down middle and pealing back. There was darkness on one side and light on the other. Then heard scripture of Paul, “I speak in tongues more than you all.”. Pressed on, then heard “for such a time as this.” Then saw vortex in water, it would be bringing people down into it, no matter how hard they fought against it they couldn’t get out of it. It was dark but only because it was deep water, it was God pulling people into His presence.
Adrienne - High mountains with valley, darkness in valley. Asked what to pray for, then saw shepherd. Hard to see shepherd because of the dark. Felt no fear. It was Jesus taking on all the fear, pain, darkness. The mountains are his protection, prayers that surround them. Then saw three kings. Then praying for all the areas of darkness, especially the persecuted church. Then prayed in thanksgiving for the gifts and talents in each of us. Then saw white ribbon, it went through and threaded each one of us, then at end, he tied it in a bow – then it was light but cloudy. Column of cloud by day and fire by night. The light was like the cover over a carousel – light and breezy. At center was Holy Mother, a dispenser of grace.
Celine – Heard the message, ‘Open and receive the promptings of the Holy Spirit’. Like the Maji, prompted to follow the star and see the savior. This is the type of faith that we are required to have. Promptings are there, we need to follow. Heard the word ‘support’. Heard “pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death” heard it at least 5 times. Felt positive at end of prayer.
Shelly – Praying for each of us to receive the gifts God has for us.

Madeleine – London - The peace and love of the Lord have no boundaries! I then saw two little girls dressed in pretty yellow and white dresses, They were playing in the garden very happily with lots of laughter. I was then led to Jude, second verse which says, “Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied."
Liz - Pennsylvania - "It is my will that my people live in peace. Those who come to the Throne of Grace will know peace, not of this world but peace that shatters the night." I saw two boats on a lake with nets so full that the boats leaned to one side. The Apostles were the fishermen and they emptied the overflowing nets onto the shore. The boats and the fishermen represent the Apostolic Church that must feed the hungry with what the Lord has given. The Lord says, "Be prepared to feed all the people." The time is at hand that we must pray and study in order to be prepared to teach others. The Lord is calling his people..."Be prepared, your nets are filling up, even now. Take up the mission I give you and you will have peace. Amen & Amen." Reading was the Letter of Jude.
Maura - After the initial prayers, and while praising in tongues, I was aware of the joining together of all us participants, East and West, North and South, as we lifted up our country like a flower basket in an offering to God. During the period of praise and the silence that followed I had an urge to kneel, which I did. The homily for the Epiphany came to mind in which the priest told us of the earlier church celebration of the feast. It existed even before the celebration of the feast of Christmas and included all the instances of Christ revealing Himself to mankind. I was struck by the truth that this is still going on. God has reveal Himself to me and to each of us. Each of us has had a personal Epiphany through which He revealed Himself to us and we responded and surrendered to him as God. I also realized that he continues to do that - reveal himself to us. And he also continues to reveal himself to those in the world who are seeking him. Alleluia!
Mallory – Minnesota - I prayed at the time the group would pray. I saw nothing as I prayed except on glimpse of Christ, Crucified. He was on the beach. That's all.
Heart of Jesus prayer community
Rolando - Saw a fishing net but no fish. The net contained ugly snakes. As I continued to pray the snakes transformed into fish.
Barbara - Heard "embrace the fountain of mercy."
Lenny - Lots of ideas flashed through my mind, lots of people in commotion. A man in a flesh colored jacket, St Michael conquering Satan. Also thought about Blessed Pope John Paul II and Mother Theresa.
Lita - Saw dark, barren land with parts of broken buildings (small pieces) scattered around. Then saw lots of people, a large crowd, a crowd of heads, all praying.
Raffy - It began dark and began to see ugly animals, demons that need to be moved out; then a plant but still darkness. It then got brighter, but the back ground was still dark.
Donna - Viewed from above, people moving toward a very large light on the horizon(not a large number of people). On water (in boats), rowing and some walking along a path. Heard "many are called but few respond." It got darker (like the sun going down) and Our Lady appeared to guide the people - now those traveling held candles.
Jane - Raleigh, North Carolina – Was prompted to look to Ephesians 2:4-7 "But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ, raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus." Reading it brought me great comfort.
Pat O - This is what I got when I prayed:: I have come to guide you. I know you well. I will stay with you. You will never be alone. Know my love. Hold on to my love. Never never let go. That is what will hold you up. Find me, search for me. I will let you find me if you search for me with all your heart. When you find me, cling to me. You will not go down. Up, up I will lift you. So much to do. So much for me to teach you Every moment counts, listen carefully and obey every word. Hosea 6: 1-3, Come and let us return to the Lord, For He has torn but He will heal us, He has stricken. But He will bind us up. after two days he will revive us. On the third day He will raise us up that we might live in His sight. Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning. He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth.
Nora – San Diego CA - Jonah 3:6-10 “When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh; “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.” When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.” Heavenly Father I pray that in the same way as the King and the people of Nineveh turned from their evil ways, that our country, our children, families and love ones as well will turned their face back to you and you once again will have mercy on us. Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.” In Jesus precious name I pray.
Ciria for Fresno team - We enjoyed a full and rich prayer time together. The Lord gave us all something to share. Praying in tongues together is an awesome way to pray. There is power when we pray together, no room for ego or pride. We hear from him or we don’t. What an amazing God we serve. Our prayer was blessed with assurance of his love for us. Psalms 119:160: The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances [endureth] for ever.
Ciria – Fresno - I saw great white clouds gathering like a great storm then become a great fog when the vapor from the earth combined and melted with the clouds. Above it stood a piercing cutting light as it broke through the thick cloud. Ezekiel 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. It seems to look like a light house off a shoreline which is invisible to my sight. Suddenly the piercing light rays of light became churning and spirally turning wheels, the whirl winds. The winds that blow forth from the Lord caused the great heat and fire. Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled. O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?" (Jeremiah 4:13-14 KJV).
Whirlwind in the Bible
Proverbs 1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Isaiah 21:1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. In the valley of the Euphrates
Zechariah 9:14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. Ezekiel 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. Ezekiel 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
Maya - Fresno - I was in a cave deep in the ocean. I took a deep breath and started swimming upwards. It felt like I was flying. I swam for so long that I started running out of breath. As I tried swimming up I couldn’t find an exit. I breathed in expecting to choke and die, but I kept swimming and looking for a way out. Now, I could breath with ease. I was scared before but I’m not anymore. I kept wanting to look for some reason for why I could breathe. I enjoyed swimming and the higher I swam upward the brighter the water got, but there was no oxygen yet. Proverbs 8:18 & 19. …”but the path of the just is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness they know not at what they stumble. John 12:35 …”Then Jesus said unto them ‘yet a little while is the night with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness comes upon you; for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whether he goeth.
Melina - Fresno- If you have your mind & soul filled with sin, you do not have room for God in your life because you only have room for one or the other. I found the scripture John 8:44. This told me that if you are a believer of God, you love the whole truth of life situations. The devil will always try to convince Gods people to love and believe the lies. Lies are much easier to follow but you still have to deal with the consequences when you find out that you made a mistake in the first place. The devil resists the truth. We must resist the lie. John 6:25-27 & 6:63 Christ is the bread of life, he will provide for your life spiritually. If you worship him and put all trust in him & remember that you will face your physical death when God says so. The bread of life is spiritual food that we need to feed ourselves, even before you feed the carnal man because the carnal man will want to take control over your spirit. The devil would steer you away from God's truth, because the lust of the carnal man dies, but righteousness will never end.
Twyla - Fresno - Return to your first love Rev 2: 1-7. Regain our first love, as believers we must continually return to our first love in the Lord. We must repent on our knees for our transgressions and sin we have done in our lives, and have a true remorse with conversion for what we have done and act on that First Love. The Lord will restore our relationship and communion with him. Sin will creep up from time to time and introduce itself as something new and different. Don't be fooled it's the same sin just in a different package and bow. So when we consider falling into sin and giving ourselves permission to sin… take pause and remember the commitment you have made to The Lord to turn from our sin, return to his love, so we can continue our journey with first love.
David - Fresno - Proverbs 1:24-31
Bryanna - Fresno - Addressing “Worry” Matt 6:44, Exodus 16:4, Ga 5:13-26.
Ron – Fresno - Christ is the bridegroom, his people are his bride; the angels and demons are witnesses to the power of God; We are to keep his temple (our bodies) pure and righteous; Christ cleanses us; follow his commandments; we are freed from the death penalty of sin.
Noah - Fresno - I started to pray for God to show me how to forgive and love more the people surrounding me in my life. I prayed to God asking him to say hello (to loved ones who have passed on). I love you dad and also to Adam, for I miss everyone in and out my life so fast. Then I prayed for God to deliver me out of my anxiety and depression throughout the past years. I asked God for his strength for myself and my kids’ life. (and for me to hold on.) I asked God to send his roaring angels around them. To keep them safe Lord Jesus I ask. I heard God say, ‘ look up Matt 22:37 …” Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind”.. He answered: for me to read and repeat the words to I understand and believe he is in our lives and that he never fails.
Pattie - Raleigh, North Carolina - "SHALOM" ~ meaning: may the anarchy and the chaos that surrounds you be removed. Amen. Let us pray Shalom for one another.
Martina – West Virginia - I saw a few hands raised towards heaven. Jesus was seated on the throne and we were scattered around him. He said "Precious ones many, many hearts are cold towards me. You get a glimpse of the coldness when you face frigid temperatures. Satan has in a subtle way taken footage and is leading many astray. I have a select few who are obedient to my Call. Pay heed, listen, I need you now more than ever before. Pray unceasingly, spread my message of love to the world.
Closing prayer: Lord Jesus, we lift these words to you. Let that which is from you take root and produce much fruit. That which is from our own minds, let it be washed away in your love. Teach us to listen and respond. Thank you Jesus. Amen.

Power Tongues notes 12/1/2013
(Format:
We pray in tongues for about 20 or 30 minutes, and then share what we
sense the Lord is telling us. Probably never perfect, but as we press
on with the Lord, we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ. We are always looking for others around the world to
join us. You can join us individually or as a group. To become a
part of the Power Tongues team, contact me at
linda@linda-schubert.com.
Next session January 5, 2014.)
Home Team:
Theresa – Peace I
give you, not as the world gives do I give you.
Rod – The voice
crying out in the desert, make straight the path.
George – Picture
of serpentine path and at end are arms of Jesus. As people going on
path wander, they are brought back on the path. As they grow in their
journey with the Lord, the deviations become smaller and smaller. We
are to evangelize with love.
Linda S – When we
started, felt wash of anger and fear and unresolved issues. People
walking in defeat. Then felt the Lord saying to gather together, face
the issues with our eyes on him, walk in forgiveness, settle the
issues. Saw a rock that was being smashed into pieces and oil poured
out on rock fragments.
Chuck – When we
first started, saw image of sword and stone, like in the movie. The
Lord is making things possible that weren’t possible. We can pull
the sword out of the stone. We must ask with faith. He wants to
bring down the gold. We need to ask in faith. Economic change in
Africa came out of prayer. God wants us to use the authority that we
have, that we would understand our daughter and sonship.
Bob – God is
pouring out his blessings on us so we can receive his gifts and pass
them on to others. Especially during this time he is pouring out gift
of his Son and wants us to pass it on.
Barbara –
Centering in on gratitude. Felt the Lord weeping for lack of
gratitude for all the blessings he has poured out on his people. Went
through list of gratitude and thanksgiving for all the blessings of
the people here. Prayed that people would understand the blessings.
Rod – Sense of
urgency. The Lord wants us to do our very best right now. Scripture
of two women grinding, one was taken, one was left. We don’t want
to be left. Urgency to being prepared, to evangelize, using the tools
he’s given us.
Theresa – As the
labor pains come on suddenly, so the end will come. Watch to the left
and the right. Things are not as they seem.
Kathy –
Fragmented. Christmas traditional decorations were broken and wrapped
in clear plastic wrap, like the world had pushed them aside and left
them in disarray. Lord was asking us to be there and bring world back
to him.
Adrienne – Saw
painting of Eve in the garden. Just as sin came through her
disobedience, a lot of the sin today is coming through women and
impurity; freedom used in the wrong ways. This is due to brokenness.
Lord wanted prayer for restoration of real femininity, what he
created us to be as real women. Saw cords with knots of sin in them.
The cords were like a bondage holding them together in sin. When
prayed the precious blood of Jesus over the knots to be undone, the
Blessed Mother opened her mantle as the representative of true
femininity. Then saw leopard, then saw huge beautiful lion, then saw
Blessed Mother. Through her yes salvation came. During this time the
Lord will do much through the true femininity. Women are made to be
guardians of life. Saw lion lick the chords and changed from dark to
light and then the leopard left.
Linda Mc – Waters
were rising. God is beginning to do a stirring in this region. He is
stirring his Spirit, pouring out his Spirit. Praying for people who
are in his body but fearful of his gifts. The enemy separates people
by fear of the gifts. Prayed that they would walk in the gifts.
Linda M – Prayed
for our group. Sensed that Lord is pushing us to a new level,
accelerate it. Then he asked, ‘Who loves you unconditionally?’
Mike – Heard
assurances. The Lord is provider, and he will take us by the hand. He
reminds us that ‘if they are not against us, they are with us.
We’re able to talk about Jesus as we are witnessing about
relationship with him.
Celine – Many
prayer cells around the world. God has little cells all over. After
that awareness I saw a jumble of colors and textures, like grey stone
in churches in England, then like fabric like a housecoat, then grey,
beige, then lot of children’s pastel colors (pink, green, etc) –
they kept playing again and again. Message was ‘take care of my
children’.
Shelly – Saw a
bridge with enemies on each side. It was a bridge of peace. People
began crossing over, they brought peace, they experienced the lives
of the other. Peace began as they recognized the life of the others
was not so different as their own. Bridge became covered in flowers,
peace came where there had been war before.

Maria
J - North Carolina - I
received an image of being in a desert and seeing the patriarchs. I
felt the Lord was reminding me of how they lived their lives while
traveling through the desert. Abraham was made a promise that his
descendents would be as numerous as the stars yet he and Sarah were
barren. The Israelites felt abandoned during their 40 years of exile
and wished to be back in Egypt. They were in a very
dry place physically and spiritually. He was saying to me that while
we are in the desert we are also in a very dry place. This
is how the soul feels when it is in a dry place spiritually because
it does not feel that God is close or is hearing its cry. Yet he
reminded me of how he kept his promise to Abraham and how he brought
the Israelites into the promised land. When we come out of the desert
we are refreshed by greener pastures and water to quench our
thirst. The soul once again feels the presence of our
Lord. He is faithful to his promises for our lives.
Liz
- Pennsylvania - I
saw a large eagle flying above the earth. It came so close that one
could feel the softness of its wings. I believe it represented the
Lord searching for faithful ones. As it flew around the world, I
could see its shadow on the earth. It brought to mind "under the
shadow of his wings."I heard: “Listen, my children, to the
words of my heart. The world hurries about worldly tasks but few stop
to know me. I am the God who loves you not from afar but in your
being. Empty your life of the unnecessary noise, and worldly
cares. Do not submit yourself to what is not pure. Abide
with me.” Sirach 36: Come to our aid, O God of the universe, and
put all the nations in dread of you! Raise up your hand against the
heathen, that they may realize your power. As you have used us to
show them your holiness, so now use them to show us your glory. Thus
they will know, as we know, that there is no God but you.
Pat
- Staten Island NY - My way is not so easy as you see. I have shown
you the way to go but you are so busy with other things. Feel
my presence, I am right here. Do not be distracted by the things of
the world. Feel free to come to me just where you are. I will
be there to see you through every path. The way needs your
trust in me completely. So many times I have uttered your name
and you have turned away. Stay close and do not move from me
without my word guiding you. Do not fall asleep without praying so
that even as you sleep I can show you how to bring forth my plan for
the children of God. Promises I made are for you and you will
see the signs. Only hear me and wait patiently. I long for your
closeness. Cling to me and fear nothing. Love and worship
me alone as we come to the end of the journey. Be thou sober and
alert. 2 Samuel 23, 2-7: The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me and His
word was on my tongue. The God of Israel said the Rock of Israel
spoke to me. He who rules over men must be just. Ruling
in the fear of God. And he shall be like the light of the morning
when the sun rises. A morning without clouds like the tender
grass springing out of the earth, by clear shining after rain.
Although my house is not so with God, Yet he has made with me
an everlasting covenant. Ordered in all things and secure. For
this is all my salvation and my desire;Will he not make it increase?
But the sons of rebellion shall all be thorns thrust away,
because they cannot be taken with hands. But the man who
touches them must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear, and
they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.
Jane
– Raleigh North Carolina – A reading from the Douay-Rheims
Proverbs 29:11 - "A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man
deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards." from the USCCB
(internet): "Fools give vent to all their anger; but the wise,
biding their time, control it." I felt impressed upon that this
scripture was meant for someone participating in our praying.
Mary M – Anthem AZ - Go forth boldly. I will fit you for the battle. Be calm and steadfast. Nothing will harm you. You have the equipment and protection needed. Go forth and tell the good news. Salvation is here. Be ready. Be still and know I am God. Revelation 1:9 and Psalm 51

From
the Fresno CA team: We experienced very loving prayer time together.
Just when one believes that they have experienced the incredible love
of God, he tops it with Sunday evening’s prayer. What an
extraordinary God we serve. God Bless you all as we celebrate the
birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, this holy season.
Ciria - Fresno – A great pearl before my eyes was shining and spinning like an iridescent luster. It was smoothed from the churning and turning of it. This pearl is a very fine, extremely rare, admirable and priceless. This is a natural pearl that came from a creature. It creates a pearl sac to fend off irritations, parasites and damage done to it. Our earthly pilgrimage is like this creature, filled with trial and offenses. Like the creatures pearl sac, we are also moaning and groaning, and have a pearl sac to fend off offenses, irritation and trauma that happens to us. "But the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered" (Rom. 8:26). It is particularly the help which the blessed Comforter gives the Christian in his prayer life, in the counteracting of his "infirmities," which is now to engage our attention. In Zechariah 12:10 He is emphatically styled "The Spirit of grace and of supplications," for He is the Author of every spiritual desire, every holy aspiration, every outgoing of the heart after God. Prayer has rightly been termed "the breathing of the newborn soul," yet we must carefully bear in mind that its respiration is wholly determined by the stirrings of the Holy Spirit within us. As the Person, work and intercession of Christ, are the foundation of all our confidence in approaching the Father. Every spiritual exercise in prayer is the fruit of the Spirit's operations and intercession.
Bryanna - Fresno - I saw the prophets of Baal trying all they could to get Baal to answer like in 1Kings 18.Then I saw a man trying all he could to get God to answer. I heard the Lord say "I have loved you first. Do not be like a worshiper of Baal (Mathew 6:5-15).Be in my presence the way I am in yours. I already know your forms of expression because I am in your presence. Be in my presence and you will know my forms of expression. I thought of how I can understand my one year old son even though his language has not fully developed. Then the Lord asked "can you see it?" I said "yes".

David
– Fresno – (John 10:7-13) When Jesus called himself the Door of
the sheep he said that all others are thieves and liars that take
upon the name of the Door. There are no men that can stand in his
place and do what Christ did for his sheep. Anyone that claims
otherwise is a hireling, and will leave the sheep when the wolf
comes. All the prophets showed the sheep that Christ is the Door, our
true pastor and the true church. Opposite of him are thieves that do
not feed the flock and forsake them because their only interest is
personal profit and gain. Beware oh sheep that the shepherd you are
following is not a hireling.
Twyla – Fresno - I saw a dandelion which was sitting in a desolate field. The ground was covered with snow. I was sitting in the middle of the dandelion. I could see the dark stems reaching up to the white fluffy seeds the wind began to blow and the seeds were caught and began to fall onto the cold snowy ground. I wondered how this seed would survive or grow in a ground that was dead

Maya
- Fresno, CA - I was under a thick cement arch. The cool wind blew
softly. I zoomed out from my previous view and I figured out that I
was standing on the ocean from the last PTI the same vast, salty,
faded blue ocean. The arch was a bridge. Further away, there was
river of gold light emptying out into the ocean. Giant dark green
trees surrounded the river of light. I Peter 1:2 came to mind. Later
I looked it up and it said: “Elect accordingly to the foreknowledge
of God the Father, though sanctification of the Spirit: Unto
obedience and sparkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grave unto you,
and peace, be multiplied.” (I Peter 1:2, King James Bible). I saw a
beautiful water fountain streaming with bright blue water, I wanted
to drink but I did nothing, trees surrounded the fountain, they were
all orange. Then I thought that “there is no such thing as death.”
Life is like tree leaves you are born in the spring, summer is child
hood, autumn is adult hood, winter is when you leave the flesh, next
year’s spring is the rebirth with our Father. God made a beautiful
world for us were we may witness life, rebirth, and we gain knowledge
from his creations. Looking at Jesus’ parables he used nature and
people and other creations of God to teach valuable lessons in life,
and spiritual life. We scrape these lessons from other people, nature
and God himself and his word.
Pattie
- Raleigh, North Carolina - My tongues turned into two songs after a
while, that I sung over and over and over again: Lord,
you are more precious than silver. Lord,
you are more costly than gold. Lord,
you are more beautiful than diamonds, and nothing I desire compares
to you. Who can weigh the value of knowing you? Who can
judge the worth of who you are? Who can count the blessings of
loving you? Who
can say just how great you are? Lord,
prepare me to be a sanctuary Pure and holy, tried and
true. With thanksgiving, I'll be a living sanctuary for you!
Closing
prayer: Lord, you are more precious than silver, more costly than
gold. We return these humble offerings to you. That which was purely
from you, let it take root and produce much fruit. Let all else be
washed away in your refining love. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the
grace of this time. Amen.

Power Tongues notes 11/3/2013
PTI Home Group
Linda S – Saw people all huddled up, curled up, saw them with clenched fist with anger. Then saw a whole variety of people in a health club with personal trainers. The trainers seemed to be angels whose expertise was in releasing anger.
Bob M – Heard the word ‘focus’, saying that in the midst of all problems and chaos and all stuff going on, keep focused on Him. He is the way, truth and life.
Barbara – Praying for families, reconciliation prayers for her own family first, then all our families, extended families, then ancestors, all prayer for families. The Lord said, “I’m doing a new thing with reconciliation.” The angels that Linda saw seem connected with that focus.
Rod – Saw the world, then a little beam that goes around and around, touching the whole world. Then looked around the room at everyone and thought how we were each praying for different parts of the world. The word ‘testimony’ came to mind. The Holy Spirit is bringing us into a new level, new release of what he’s given us. We are to go out and testify. Global intercession.
Linda M. – God is smoothing out the trauma each of us has experienced in our lives so it no longer cripples or hurts us.
Mike – Thinking of intercession around the world at same time in union with this group. There is strength in our coming together in prayer; we’re not alone. These groups are all praying at the same time. The whole mantle of Jesus is laying over us. We are family; we spread the corner of each of our mantles over the one next to us. Someone is praying for us around the world 24/7. The united groups all being aware of each other, is important.
Adrienne – First saw a line of monks and priests, very long. Then saw another line that formed a cross, they were all priests and religious. Then saw on one side the sickle and hammer and on other a crescent moon and star. The words came, “The enemies of my church are rising up but through the prayers, sacrifice and suffering I will do much with and through my remnant.” Saw small flames everywhere. There are groups everywhere on fire with Holy Spirit, scattered everywhere, but united in the fire of the Holy Spirit with His purpose in prayer. Kept praying for faith, trust, perseverance, fidelity for priests and religious. Then prayed the book of revelation, the part where the martyrs who persevere to the end will wear the white robes. The cross went from Alaska down into South America and turned into a cross of light.
Mary Ellen – General subject was the idea of letting go of judgment and resentment. It was tied to the need of the world for the true Father, God. Ultimately the judging and resenting is really against Father God. Sensed need for Father God to be acknowledged as a good Father.
Celine – Mainly how God shows us how he loves us. How he protects us from the enemy.
Betty – Praying for long time with no clear message. Then asked, “God what is on your heart to pray for?” Immediately received thought to pray for children, abused children especially. Abused in any way, hearing what they shouldn’t hear, seeing what they shouldn’t see. Minds are being filled with evil. Those who are aborted and never come into the life that God had planned for them. Then he said, “Every one of you was formed to be born in my time. So many are not born, my gifts to the world are not able to be given due to marriages that do not welcome children, birth control, etc.” Asked for reparations, sin offering. Sensed so much reparation is to be done for children that have been hurt.
Shelly – God was flowing mercy from heaven, wonderful, peaceful mercy. Saw light flowing from heaven like a waterfall, pure mercy flowing down to earth, to everyone’s hearts.

We were blessed during prayer and each of us received something from the Lord. May you be blessed and built up as the Body of Christ and a great blessing to others along our journey together.
Ciria – Fresno CA - I looked to the mountainous peaks and saw the glowing of a great fire and the forest was burned where only the stumps of the trees remained. They smoldered and the columns of smoke rose up from the burned fingers (trees). They bowed and leaned forward and worshiped Almighty God because new life was within the burned and charred stubs. (Metaphoric Meanings: The fire and smoke is God’s presence in his temple, the trees are God's people) Isaiah 55:12 “For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” (Exodus 40:34-38 RSV) "Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode upon it, and the glory of The Lord filled the tabernacle. Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would go onward; but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not go onward till the day that it was taken up. For throughout all their journeys the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel." The kingdom of God is a mountain which fills the whole earth, in Daniel's prophecies: Daniel 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Reading Isaiah 42:13-16 (NIV)The LORD will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies.
For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant. I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; I will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools.I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. Still God places today, just like the Old Testament, judges who are sometimes evil. But still accountable to Him for what they do. 2 Chronicles 19:5-11, and then Acts 2:14-21.
Bryanna – Fresno CA - Read Psalm 105.
Maya – Fresno CA - I prayed for courage and strength that is required in order to only forget but to forgive as well. Once again, I kept thinking of the vast things like the ocean, a large sky scraper, and the same mountain. I saw many compartments like a filing cabinet. I’m not sure what that meant or what it was. Next, I was asking God to use my soul and energy to heal, to heal the mind, soul, and body. I finally understood what it meant to fully let go. I discovered how difficult it is to let go of the possession that we hold onto for so long and bury deep into my mind. I discovered I need to open my mind in order to let God do his works, through me. I compare it to jumping off a cliff into a vast body of water. You need to trust that you will be taken care of, that assurance that you will be okay, you let go completely and fall. I need to practice letting feelings and possessions go. The barricades that keep me from expressing forgiving and trusting others mean I must take that leap. This is still related so forgiveness is the wisest choice. They are a part of you.
Twyla - Fresno CA - I saw a man standing within a big ball of fire. The fire represents the Holy Spirit that surrounds the believer even while we have protection of the fire we still have trials and pain because we have not completely surrendered to the Lord. I saw the man within the fire in turmoil and on his knees. Then the hand of the Lord reaches in and starts to remove black masses like a skilled surgeon at first the man within the fire resists but finally surrenders and allows the Lord to remove the darkness each mass that is removed the man becomes upright and the fire becomes stronger and brighter until the man and the fire become one . It's a radiant power transforming energy of the Holy Spirit. Let us be transformed to the real fullness of the Holy Spirit and become the believers we were meant to be, to allow the comforter to settle in our spirit and bring the peace in our lives. Scriptures to read 1 Corinthians 12:13 and Ephesians 11:3.
Melina - Fresno CA - Forgiveness is such a hard thing to learn, but it keeps the love that we truly have for the other person going. This also keeps our minds thinking rationally. Forgiving the person who has hurt you or enraged you comes with a great reward. I read 1John 2:3-9… that if we claim that we are walking in the light and with Lord and hate the people around us, we are really still in the darkness. The Lord has forgiven and he continues to keep forgiving. So we must forgive as God forgives us. (which is said the Colossians 3:12-14). As said in these 3 verses love is what keeps us together. Somehow love can be expressed in our physical and spiritual being just as much as anger can. I believe that the only difference is that anger takes more energy than love does. Anger also causes pain to others and when it spreads to everyone it feels like it will never end and it is hard to forgive even more because you want to do harm to the person who hurt you. The physical/carnal man will never want to stop getting revenge because you thank things should be more fair. We can't let our human motivations get in the way of learning how to be more like Christ.
David – Fresno CA – Read John 9:22-41.
Nora - San Diego – As I was praying I received a revelation of a tiny light inside of a small room, maybe two to four people inside the room. As I continue praying and asked for discernment, more and more of same tiny lights were added to the same picture; that happened to be families praying inside their rooms. From the beginning I felt the tiny light was a little faith, and as I continue praying and asking the Holy Spirit the meaning of this revelation, I felt moved to pray for a revival in our faith. As I was praying for revival, a line of bright fire was at the top of the mountains surrounding our country. Then I understood that we all need to pray for a new revival to be pour out in our families, churches, communities, cities, states and our country as well around the world. We as an intercessors can pray for the fire of the Holy Spirit to be with every evangelist, teacher, prophet, apostle and psalmist, that The Lord will pour his Spirit any where they go to proclaim the Good News of Jesus as their Hope and Savior, that true repentance and conviction will enter into their hearts; Then his glory will be manifested with signs, miracles and wonders all around the world. (see Matthew 5:16.g In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and Glorify your Father in heaven.
Pat - Staten Island NY - This is what came to me as I prayed: The days are here when my Word will bear fruit. Hold on to what I have given you. I have told you many things, but as I prompt you, you will know what to do. Do not fear, be strong. I know you and will be with you to be sure you will not fall. Hold fast, speak my Word. Let what happens keep you close to me. You will know me and follow. The way will be so clear. Steps will be clearly marked. Bring all I have told you with you. Everyone will come. So when the door opens you will see Me inside and know without doubt where to go. Keep alert and watch and pray. Matt: 25:31. When the Son of Man comes in His glory and all the holy angels with Him then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one
from another, as a shepherd divides His sheep from His goats. Rev 3:20, “Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and opens the door. I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me.”
Exodus 33:12 - 14: “Then Moses said to the Lord, ‘See You say to me 'Bring up this people',
but You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ' I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight. ' Now therefore, I pray if I have found grace in Your sight, show me Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people". And He said, "My Presence will go with you and I will give you rest."
Pattie - Raleigh NC - Focus was on the gift of the Holy Eucharist, the most amazing and immeasurable Gift of all! Thank You for healings and the deliverance of those in bondage LORD! Amen.
Martina – West Virginia - I saw hands lifted up towards heaven, power tongues participants lifting up their hands in prayer. I saw a globe covered with blood. He shed his blood on the earth. He said, ‘Precious ones, you are mine, delight in Me. I have so much to offer, if you will but seek Me alone. Many blessings in store for you, the remnant few. I rely on you to bring souls to me, pray much for their salvation, they pay no heed to it .Precious ones, I love you, enter into My joy and peace, much blessings ahead for you My faithful ones.
Tina – The Lord says,“I am the King of glory, the Father of all nations. I have gathered you, My people, from all parts of the world to pray in intercession for the lost, the weary, the broken in spirit. Hence, they will come to know Me, Yahwah, through you. Each of you are My chosen remnant to serve Me and serve Me well. It is such a time as this that the world and thereabouts are perishing because of the wiles of the evil one. Broken are those who do not know Me. Bridge the gap, making way for new beginnings. I entrust in each of you My love. Show My love to one another and those with whom you come in contact. I impart My mercy and blessings upon each of you. Graces are being received this very day for the work you do in My name. Serve Me well as there are great rewards in heaven. All praise and glory to the Father who art in heaven for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory now and forever.”
Mallory – Minnesota - Tonight, I just had a great feeling of peace as I prayed. I entered into a beach scene with very peaceful waters. There was a reflection of the moon on the water. I saw the Christ crucified on the beach. He was facing the peaceful waters, but He was very much in pain. I sang in tongues in the beginning. About twelve minutes into my prayer I felt that I should be silent. I was for about 5-6 minutes. There was just a great feeling of peace. I began my prayer again. I was back at the bay on the beach. There was peace. I also went to a church. It looked like the Catholic church I attend. I saw a priest kneeling there. Then, I was back on the beach. I have no idea of what any of this means or if it has any significance to tonight's power
tongues. I was puzzled by the time of silence.
Liz – Pennsylvania - I saw Jesus looking over Jerusalem. He said, l "My child, what have I done to you; in what way have I offended you that you have turned your back on me? The gates are still open for you to freely enter. My heart is always opened for you. Seek me first and you shall be happy. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, I weep for you because you have disregarded all that I have taught you. Repent and seek me that life eternal may be yours. Listen for my voice. Mine know me. Put aside your differences for my sake. Allow yourself to manifest my love in the world for without the active involvement of your will, love cannot enter the world." Scripture: Acts 2:28 “You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.”
Closing prayer: Lord we lift these words to you. That which is from your heart, let it take root and produce much fruit. That which was simply from us, let it be washed away in your love. Teach us to listen. Thank you Lord. Amen.
Next session December 1. Please pray about participation.
Love and prayers, Linda Schubert www.linda-schubert.com
Linda S – Saw people all huddled up, curled up, saw them with clenched fist with anger. Then saw a whole variety of people in a health club with personal trainers. The trainers seemed to be angels whose expertise was in releasing anger.
Bob M – Heard the word ‘focus’, saying that in the midst of all problems and chaos and all stuff going on, keep focused on Him. He is the way, truth and life.
Barbara – Praying for families, reconciliation prayers for her own family first, then all our families, extended families, then ancestors, all prayer for families. The Lord said, “I’m doing a new thing with reconciliation.” The angels that Linda saw seem connected with that focus.
Rod – Saw the world, then a little beam that goes around and around, touching the whole world. Then looked around the room at everyone and thought how we were each praying for different parts of the world. The word ‘testimony’ came to mind. The Holy Spirit is bringing us into a new level, new release of what he’s given us. We are to go out and testify. Global intercession.
Linda M. – God is smoothing out the trauma each of us has experienced in our lives so it no longer cripples or hurts us.
Mike – Thinking of intercession around the world at same time in union with this group. There is strength in our coming together in prayer; we’re not alone. These groups are all praying at the same time. The whole mantle of Jesus is laying over us. We are family; we spread the corner of each of our mantles over the one next to us.
