Here is an example of faith in action, enabling the creation and witnessing as well of a miracle in allowing communication beyond human knowledge and awareness in speaking the tongue of another living witness, but unknown to the speaker themselves. This is a contemporary example of the biblical reference to the act of speaking in tongues and its true meaning and purpose of communicating through divine means that allow conveying an understanding in the listener. This is a true account and illustrates the nature and purpose of miracles, that they are largely personal events witnessed by the self alone or a few, most of whom are believers so this keeps things within the rules of engagement, to not overstep the limits nonbelievers place on themselves so they will not have their doubt challenged unduly by a spiritual act in their presence.
