Some people speak in tongues because they feel like a special language is coming from inside them. It’s like when you dream and talk to someone, but you don’t understand what you’re saying, it just feels right. People believe this helps them connect with something bigger, like God or the universe. Some say it feels magical.
Examples
- A girl in church starts talking rapidly in what sounds like another language, and everyone else feels moved to pray.
- During a meditation session, someone begins saying strange words that feel like they came from the sky.
- A man at a revival meeting suddenly speaks in a completely new way that no one understands.
