we speak in those languages when we reveal these virtues to others

God likes a lot of virtues as the divine morale excellence through the gospels by apostles. The Holy Spirit is inside our body.
Add to your Faith Virtue, add to Virtue Knowledge. 2 Peter 1:5

Words spoken by Pope John Paul II on the Feast of Pentecost 1998 :-----

“It is as though what happened in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago were being repeated this evening in this square, the heart of the Christian world. Like the Apostles then, we too find ourselves gathered in a great upper room of Pentecost, longing for the outpouring of the Spirit. Here we would like to profess with the whole Church “the same Spirit … the same Lord … the same God who inspires them all in everyone” (1 Cor 12:4-6). This is the atmosphere we wish to relive, imploring the gifts of the Holy Spirit for each of us and for all the baptized people.”

“Whenever the Spirit intervenes, he leaves people astonished. He brings about events of amazing newness; he radically changes persons and history. This was the unforgettable experience of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council during which, under the guidance of the same Spirit, the Church rediscovered the charismatic dimension as one of her constitutive elements: “It is not only through the sacraments and the ministrations of the Church that the Holy Spirit makes holy the people, leads them and enriches them with his virtues. Allotting his gifts according as he wills (cf. 1 Cor 12:11), he also distributes special graces among the faithful of every rank… He makes them fit and ready to undertake various tasks and offices for the renewal and building up of the Church””

“The institutional and charismatic aspects are co-essential as it were to the Church’s constitution. They contribute, although differently, to the life, renewal and sanctification of God’s People. It is from this providential rediscovery of the Church’s charismatic dimension that, before and after the Council, a remarkable pattern of growth has been established for ecclesial movements and new communities.”

“Today, I would like to cry out to all of you gathered here in St Peter’s Square and to all Christians: Open yourselves docilely to the gifts of the Spirit! Accept gratefully and obediently the charisms which the Spirit never ceases to bestow on us! Do not forget that every charism is given for the common good, that is, for the benefit of the whole Church.”

I think some people just need a little jump start to get them connected to Christ.

Lets not forgets these words of scripture:

2 Corinthians 5:7
For we live by faith, not by sight.
 
Every Catholic who has received the Sacraments of Initiation is filled with the Holy Spirit. There is not a select group who get “special extra Holy Spirit”, to infer that this is the case is cruel. It is one of the biggest reasons I left Protestantism.

Its the same Holy Spirit, but a renewing of it. We must continually seek to be filled daily by the Holy Spirit.
 
No sign from heaven or sudden rapture for me.
However, last year I prayed the powerful Novena to the Holy Spirit between the Ascension and Pentecost for the first time, and I had a year where I quite palpably found myself closer to Christ and His Mother. So I did it again this year. What a great novena! I recommend it. It can be found on the EWTN website.
 
Nelka, there are 9 gifts from the Holy spirit:

1 Corinthians 12
7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

And 9 fruits of the Holy Spirit

Galatians 5
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control;

If you possess one of these, you are good to go! We do not all have the same gifts.

Powerful prophetic words from the great saint of our time.

Praise the Lord. Thank you Lord.
 
I’ve had others who have spoken word of knowledge over me, or pray over me and I fall to the ground. I always thought it was fake or weird, but it’s happened multiple times and I can never stop it. During the times I have fallen I have smelled roses, heard noises like lots of people talking, shaken while I laid down, felt a heartbeat sensation in my stomach, or a warmth on my cheek and throat. I once prayed for someone who could not speak. I fell to the floor and felt a warmth on my left cheek. I never told anyone and the next day I received a video of that child speaking their first sentence for the first time.
 
Have you not loved? Are you not joyful?Are you not at peace? Have you no patience? Have you never been kind? You never been good? Are you not faithful? Are you not gentle? Have you self-control? Surely you have.
 
I will pray for you, that the Lord bless you with peace and joy. Consider David, he was the apple of the Lord’s eye. Not a perfect man, everyone against him, but he loved the Lord…it’s what matters when everything else fails. Read his Psalms.

Seems like some other type of spirit is at work here. In the name of Jesus we pray against any works of the enemy, and cast them into the bottomless pit!
