Abrahim
One of David Berg's numerous spirit helpers, Abrahim (pronounced: Ah'-bra-heem) was supposedly a stereotypical Gypsy leader of Hungarian descent who had been murdered in 1272 and was responsible for Berg's drinking binges and alcoholism.
Berg claimed that Abrahim had given him the gift of speaking in tongues (glossolalia):
16. I believe my own personal experience, that that is how I received the gift of tongues, by receiving my guardian angel Abrahim! Even though I didn't yet know it, I had received him weeks before in Houston, Texas, when he jumped off that Gypsy king onto me--hitchhiking!

Berg later described what happened when he let his gypsy spirit helper, Abrahim, enter him:
15. [...] They come back & inhabit us & can speak through our mouths & even enjoy our sex & even be tempted to drink a little too much! 35. [...] I mean, he just loves to fuck! You know how he explodes when I'm fucking! He thinks it's great!--And he apparently still enjoys his liquor, the old rascal! [...] Maybe this is an experience to teach him to not go overboard, or he's going to kill his host!
