As God's people, our Confessions are loaded with power {Ecclesiates 8:4} therefore, let your Confessions about your life and that of your environment be words that will shape, build and establish you in prosperity, unity, peace, progress and economic stability and also teach others to do the same.

STRENGTHEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PASSION THROUGH TONGUES
STRENGTHEN YOUR SPIRITUAL PASSION THROUGH TONGUES
Never lag in zeal {and} in earnest endeavor; be aglow {and} burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord (Romans 12:11AMP)
The only way you can be aglow with the fire of God in your spirit is to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus said in Acts 1:8 "And ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you." The Greek word translated power here is "dunamis," which refers to power that reproduces or revives itself.
Back in the Old Testament, they always needed a revival. King David asked in Psalm 85:6, "Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?" But the new man in Christ doesn't need revival.
All through the Epistles none of the Apostles ever asked for a revival. That's because we have in our day something the Old Testament folks didn't have; we can be filled with the Spirit and strengthen our spiritual passion twenty-four hours every day by spending time to pray fervidly in other tongues. This is something you must take seriously this month; strengthening your passion for Christ.
In Acts 2:2-4 the Bible says "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." When you pray in tongues, that same glory that the apostles experienced in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost, can come on you, and you can maintain it twenty-four hours of the day, seven days of the week and three sixty-five days of the year! Your prayer life becomes an exciting, everyday relationship with the Father as you strengthen your passion for Christ through praying in tongues.
You may have heard some bad news, but instead of feeling terrible and sad all day long as a result of what you heard, get into the flow of the Spirit and talk in other tongues. That way, you're fixing things in the realm of the spirit. Every day, before you get about your business, speak in other tongues, and you'll have direction throughout the day.
When you have tough choices and decisions to make, speak in other tongues! When it looks as though you don't know what to do, and it looks as though your passion is waxing cold, get yourself to pray in the Spirit! That'll put you in the flow of the Spirit to receive direction as to what to do and become energized in your spirit to accomplish God's desire for you.
