TOS052: Facing Finals III – Preparing for a Happy Death and Eternal Life with Patti Brunner

A happy death does not mean an ‘easy’ death.  In fact death surrounded by great suffering can still be a happy death.  Suffering in this world is not rejection by God.  This journey of life is not geared toward a momentary “payoff” like presents on Christmas morning.  The joy lasts forever for those called to the table of the eternal banquet in heaven.  And it starts with a happy death:  A death in friendship with God, a death dwelling in God’s grace.   “The happiest day of your life is the day you die and get to go to heaven!”  (# 3 of 3 part of Facing Finals series).

TOS045: Come to the Water Part 2 with Fr. Philip Scott

Excerpts of the retreat given by Fr. Philip Scott for Arkansas Catholic Charismatic Renewal Leaders.  Fr. Philip Scott explains the importance of saying “Fiat” to the Father’s will for us, even when it involves suffering.  He introduces us to the causes of the “Father Wound” and the “Mother Wound”.   It is that we never as a son or daughter bonded emotionally with our father and mother, our biological parents.  Children spell love T I M E.  Fr. Philip Scott also tells us:  “Wisdom is seeing life with God’s eyeglasses.”  “God has to drench us, and he allows us a difficulty so we will need him and him alone.”   (#2 of 6 part series of Padre Philip Scott’s retreat).

TOS027: Supernatural Prayer – Tongues with Rick Brunner

Praying in Tongues is easy and very helpful. Part of the Church’s Baptismal gifts, this gift seems to be for everyone. St Paul says in 1 Cor. 14:14 that “If I pray in a tongue my spirit is at prayer but my mind contributes nothing.” Our mind has no control over the words used in this prayer. This childlike step confounds the wisdom of the world by leaving the natural powers of intellect and memory behind. Praying in Tongues is important for spiritual growth and can bring about many blessings as shared in this episode. Also included is various teachings published by the leaders of the Catholic Church on Tongues.  (# 2 of 6 part series on Prayer).

TOS005: Who is the Holy Spirit? With Patti Brunner

Trust me, when the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus like a dove, He was not a pigeon. The Holy Spirit is a person. The Holy Spirit can come with the gentleness of a dove. The Holy Spirit can also manifest with sound, wind, power, fire, and life. The wind of the Spirit can be a gentle breeze or come like the strong wind of a tornado. The hounds of hell—the gates of hell cannot prevail against the Holy Spirit mirrored in nature by the tornadic winds that consumes all in the path that has become a barrier.  (# 2 of 5 part series on Life in the Spirit)

T0S014  Charisms  Words of Knowledge and Wisdom

A Word of Knowledge is a personal revelation concerning an event of the past and can be used to trigger a memory that needs to surface so that healing can take place. Sometimes the word can reveal something unknown except to the person receiving prayer that when revealed then builds faith in the Lord’s love and personal care so that healing can take place. Words of Wisdom work closely with Words of Knowledge because they provide the ongoing discernment of revealing and praying the truth. These do not reveal past issues but rather are in the ‘now’ and coming events.  (#4 of 4 part of Extraordinary Gifts of Grace series).
