You have mistaken what it is that concerns me brother - on two counts.
Firstly, I am not concerned by tongues even when I have been in the midst of an enthusiasm that is impossible to define other than to be gracious and let the matter rest with God in the hope that those many individual speakers in unknown tongues are speaking to God and if not He knows there hearts regardless. It is interpretation that concerns me brother.
If the Apostle Paul tells us that he would rather speak five words that can be comprehended by the mind than ten thousand (in which meaning Paul is implying his own personal prayers in a spiritual gift of speaking and praying ) in an unknown tongue then he is diminishing the gift of tongues for a reason. Yet he is not denying the truth of tongues and neither that men speak to God which is edifying to oneself - but ought to speak to other men when they assemble together for their mutual edification. It is that meaning which produces the need for an interpretation. So the interpretation become more important than the tongue in that meaning.
It is what men say when they interpret a tongue that gives rise to effects that exceed a mere fact of many speaking in tongues simultaneously. The video I posted demonstrates that meaning very clearly. Copeland and Brown play those two roles to a great effect. It not a matter of saying that their tongue is false - but rather that the interpretation is sorceric.
Secondly - addressing Satan directly in any spiritual presence of an unclean spirit - be that demonic or angelic - is a simple matter of humbling oneself to God and resisting the devil directly. There is also a reality of resisting specific unclean strong spirits with a more concerted spiritual attitude in prayer. Yet when I speak of Sorcery I am not speaking about unclean spirit at all - I am speaking about the flesh of men in a foundational meaning as described in Galatians 5:20-21. Fruit does not present on a dead tree - it can only present on a tree that is rooted and watered out of the earth. Yet the fruit of the flesh is always contrary to God.
I won't explain any further because I have already exceeded your request to write only a few sentences.
Yet I must risk being long on my philosophies and say that the Lord spoke to the twelve and told them after the many disciples ceased to follow Him that He had chosen the twelve - yet one of them was a devil. And thus in speaking about Judas as a devil - which in the Greek means an accuser - the Lord gave us a means to understand that the flesh is like a devil when it is in that same meaning as the accuser of the brethren. Judas was not possessed however, until he entered the temple to betray Christ and again at the Super Table. Yet Judas was also in that number who were sent out to preach the gospel of the Kingdom and came back excited that even the demons were subject to the name of Christ. And Christ told the pharisees that Satan cannot cast out Satan when they blasphemed the Holy Spirit by accusing Christ that he was casting our demons by Beelzebub. It doesn't need an an unclean spirit to produce a demonic man - it is entirely in the the realm of the flesh - as is sorcery or witchcraft in the Maning of the fruits of the flesh.
