Televangelist posting prayers on FB in tongues

In the third post, published about a minute later, the “tongues” text started to appear:

GIRD THEM UP IN THE SPIRIT…GIVE THEM A MIND TO PRAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE….WE CALL ON YOU JESUS….YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE!!!!!!!!NDHDIUBGUGTRUCGNRTUGTIGRTIGRGBNRDRGNGGJNRIC YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE….RFSCNGUGHURGVHKTGHDKUNHSTNSVHGN YOU GOD……YOU ARE OUR HELP AND OUR HOPE!!!!!! OUR HOPE IS IN YOU FATHER……OUR STRENGTH FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS IS IN YOU FATHER……HELP US NOW……LORD WE DONT ASK FOR HELP FOR JUST THEM….THIS IS US….THIS IS A PART OF OUR OWN BODY…..

Several prayer posts with intelligible spellings continued to appear and visitors to Bynum’s Facebook page began questioning the text.

Bynum’s prayer posts soon caught the attention of the media, with one reporter at a spirituality and faith website speculating that the minister was communicating “in tongues.”

On one prayer post, visitor Cindy McCraw commented, expressing her agreement.

“I believe it’s tongues (holy spirit). It’s called praying in the Spirit,” McCraw wrote.

Cthulhu approves.
