Pop singer and former "X Factor" judge Demi Lovato revealed in a recent interview that she had a strong and apparently prophetic spiritual experience as a young child.

Lovato revealed to E! News' Giuliana Rancic that as an 11-year old kid she recalled going to a church service where people were speaking in tongues.

"I was like 'What is this?' but like interested at the same time and the lady who was speaking in tongues, she pointed at me and said 'Come here.' So she just put her hand on my head and started saying 'God says, you will be hero to thousands of people one day and it will be using some form of art.' And she said, 'Are you ready?'" said Lovato to Rancic in the interview.

The 21-year old vocalist said she was happy about the woman's premonition when she was a little girl.

"Of course me being at like 11-years-old I was like 'Yeah, let's do it. Let's go paint a picture. What can I do?'" said Lovato to E! News.

Lovato has been vocal about her faith throughout her career and attributed it with aiding her through her recovery after she previously attended rehab due to an eating disorder, drugs and alcohol abuse. In addition, She has a cross tattoo and the first entry in her book, "Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year," an assortment of motivational daily devotionals, is a Bible verse.

"I'm not super religious, but I grew up Christian and I believe in God," said Lovato to Cosmopolitan in the summer of 2013 adding. "When I'm in L.A., I don't talk about it that much because people are very judgmental, but I just feel like God gave me a voice, not just to sing with"

She continued, "He put me through those things, which seemed horrible at the time, but they were so worth it. With the obstacles I've overcome, I can help people."

Lovato is currently on her "Neon Lights" tour which started yesterday in San Jose, California.
