During my first years as a christian, I was taught in my church that speaking in tongues is from the devil. I however went on a journey with the Holy Spirit, where He introduced me to people from different nations and christian backgrounds who were passionate about Jesus Christ and who prayed in tongues. I discovered they were not demon possessed, but were more on fire for God than anyone I had ever met. So I had to rethink what I had been told about speaking in tongues.
My personal story
I have written my personal story about this journey with the Lord in the article 'How I discovered speaking in tongues.' You an read about it on my website GOD IS REAL. This website is dedicated to show that God is not an illusion, but the most powerful reality there is.The power of the Holy Spirit
I encourage you to have a look and read the story of how I went from believing speaking in tongues is from the devil, to praying in tongues myself. I believe this testimony will help many to overcome the misconceptions about this topic and to be filled with the wonderful power of the Holy Spirit.
Many blessings,
David Sorensen
