Speaking in Tongues...Do You? (ritual, reject, gospel, mystic)

[martha]

I wouldn't say that I speak in tongues for there has never been anyone to try to interpret what I am saying for I never tried to seek anyone out to do so. I will say that I pray and worship in tongues. The first time I experienced this gift, I was blown away. I remembered that my father told me when I was a very young girl, that he came past my room and I was sitting bolt upright in my bed and just talking on and on. I asked him what I was saying to which he replied, " I have no clue sweetheart, for it was no language of this world. " At that time I didn't understand, but now I do. I don't need to know what I am saying and I feel no need to prophesize. All I know is that when I praise God in tongues, it is the most awesome and true feeling I have ever felt. I feel connected to Him in a special way.

Joyfully in Jesus,
Martha

Isaiah 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue he will speak to this people.

When i was little we lived at a christ for the nations place while my family went there

there was this one white girl that got there- she started speaking intongues, but nobody could figure it out, i think she was from the midwest or something

she just kept on talking and talking, it sounded like clicking,

anyways somebody recorded her took it to a linguistic expert at a university in texas,
they took a long time in figuring out but they finally came back and said that what she was saying was a language of this tongue clicking tribe if africa, so she became a missionary and went to that part of africa,

that was a long time ago like in the 80s
they found a african guy who could speak and he said he could understand what she was saying and she sounded like she had been seaking it her entire life
