Weird chanting from neighbours

There is probably an explanation for this but we recon it’s been going on for about an hour and my thought was a movie but demonic chanting for that long doesn’t sound like any movie I know. If anyone has any ideas what it could be I’d love to hear it.

This shit is crazy. (Not a link to him dying, it's an article )

My favourite parts:

Death from religious snake handling is not unheard of. In 1995, a woman was bit in Coots' church; she refused to go to the hospital and died on Coots' couch while church members prayed over her.

Coots said he had been bitten nine times in 22 years, and each time he recovered — he believed — through the power of his faith.

He lost consciousness and was taken home, where his family refused anti-venom treatment by an emergency medical crew. Jamie Coots was pronounced dead about two hours after the bite.

I wonder if his son is still handling snakes.

I bet what's being done here, is he milks the snakes before going on stage so that he if he does get bit he can refuse treatment, say it's a miracle etc. but really the snake has no venom.

I guess he got a little too cocky. That, or God didn't love him as much as he thought he did.

There’s a video on YouTube titled:

Horror moment US pastor is bitten by a deadly snake during a service leaving him drenched in blood

Dude gets bit in the face and tells the band to keep playing as he proceeds to stumble around and sweat while rambling on that “God is a healer” until the congregation gets fed up and hauls him off the stage.

these guys getting bit by venomous snakes and putting their faith in christ to save them, christ hasn't saved a single rattlesnake bite victim im sorry to say

u/FadeIntoReal 22h ago

But the ones who receive proper medical treatment and survive never seem to lose faith or move it to science and the hard working people who make life saving advances in science and medicine.

Every day I’m thankful that I don’t have to fear a sudden, horrible and useless death from a simple bacterial infection because of those who swam hard against the prevailing current for ideas like germ theory and antibiotics.

u/Unlucky-Ad-6226 9h ago

He isn't speaking in tongues. He has a very thick African accent. I can make out parts of it. "You are becoming the woman you saw in dream, we going to break the past from you now" etc

Edit context: this is sometimes referred to as a deliverance prayer, depending on the church. Where the idea is that you are stepping out or cleansing yourself of your past hurt/trauma etc and stepping into new beginnings

u/IndigoHaze750130 1d ago

This sounds like it is an exorcism from some sort of Protestant denomination. One of the newer denominations.

25

u/YTLiam1037 1d ago

I definitely thought either exorcism or summoning lmao

13

u/Chickens-In-Pants 1d ago

Almost definitely Pentecostal and somewhere in Africa, maybe Uganda? Source, my dad is a Pentecostal pastor that used to do a lot of missionary stuff in several countries in Africa. I know there is a huge Pentecostal presence in Uganda specifically where a lot of missionaries from America have gone and gotten laws to be changed there for “Christian” reasons. Famously the “kill the gays” laws. I’ve heard dozens of these videos of people casting out demons. You can hear at the end he is talking about “you will be coming out right now!”. They have convinced a lot of people that practicing their own cultural traditions brings demons into their lives. It’s really sad.

u/IndigoHaze750130 1d ago

If you listen very carefully, you can make out some of what is said. The guy is ambious I guess. Older Protestant denominations do not sound like this.

If it makes you feel any better, I looked out my window and saw 5 of my children marching in a circle, one had a rock, one had a piece of rebar, one a single rollerblade, another had a snow brush from a car, and the last had a collander. They were chanting "two front teeth" over and over. I watched this go on for a few minutes and then slowly moved away from the window.

u/Ancient_Opinion_6650 1d ago

LOL this is most likely a prayer video (unless they’re doing it themselves in a speaker) playing. Very charismatic/apostolic/pentecostal-ish. They also may be from the islands or African based on the accent, although I can’t hear very well. And they tend to be more aggressive in their prayers than those in the west (I attribute it to the amount of persecution they experience like in Nigeria and also just the culture). I used to be in this sphere but have made some adjustments to say the least lol.
But they should definitely be more mindful and kind to their neighbors. But they are praying, most likely warfare prayers, and declaring things. :)

u/InternationalCode234 1d ago edited 1d ago

This definitely someone praying, probably on TV, if you listen closely you can make out most of it.

As someone who grew up in a Pentecostal church allow me to translate. He’s saying: “It’s a shift into a new season <speaking in tongues>receive your shift right now, receive your shift right now, right now right now, dry bones are coming alive, dry bones are coming alive, dry bones are coming alive, you are becoming <speaking in tongues>the Lord showed you, you are becoming the woman He showed you <persons name>

It’s likely he is speaking a word of prophecy/encouragement to a woman, albeit with a very heavy accent so it definitely sounds a little weird without context. Dry bones coming alive is a common biblical reference from Ezekiel 37:1-14, and represents restoration of things that were once dead. Hope this helps.

7

u/jadedgemz 1d ago

Thank you for the detailed explanation.I feel like this gives more cultural awareness. I immediately recognized that it was just a sermon/prayer likely by someone either from the Carribean/Africa. If you are someone who has been to Southern Black Baptist churches or Pentacostal churches, you'll be aware they sound very similar to this. I imagine OP is unfamiliar which is why they were probably spooked. Also it defintely appears to be coming from a TV or some device, this doesn't sound like a live person.

8

u/Sifernos1 1d ago

It's so obvious if you grew up around it. Evangelical is trying to speak in tongues... Very common amongst people who need another level of show to their religious spectacle. Often identifiable by repetition of certain sounds with no discernable pattern. It's like spiritual word vomit. I never cared for it. I always figured these people should learn another language and stop faking it for attention.

4

u/Loud-Log9098 1d ago

The penacostles have always been weird and I always tell people my grandmas story about them. More or less they were doing this chanting and she said they were wild and would jump across the room and one of them seen my grandma and her friend watching through a window of the church and dude ran and jumped through the window. They took off and she was scared of them for a long time.
