I’ve mostly spent time in an opposite end of the church spectrum where the demonic was ignored entirely, so it’s interesting to hear your experience. It’s frustrating that so much of the church seems to live in one of these two extremes.
We are doing our best to confront places we have swung the pendulum to an extreme in all areas of our life. Opening that can of worms has been very disruptive, but rewarding and beautiful at the same time.
This may be a bit of a rabbit trail, but somewhat related. I saw tongues used as part of a charismatic home cleansing, and shortly after that I received the gift of tongues in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. I’ve noticed that it sometimes wants to come out in stressful situations like tornado warnings. Is it possible that speaking in tongues releases stressful energy from the body in some way?

This is Heidi :) There's so much we could say here. I still utilize this type of prayer in my own prayer time.
Speaking in tongues is a profound way to relieve stress and release energy from the body.
