Are you activating the word of God in your prayers? "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall my word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it (Isaiah 55:10,11).

The Word of God is so alive and powerful that it has the ability to return to the Father with fullness. This verse says that it will not return void (empty or ineffectual). How does the Word return to the Father in heaven? We can send it back to the throne in our prayers and positive confessions. In our meditations and ponderings over scripture, we are activating the presence of God over situations, places, and things.

Joshua 1:8, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

Where do you go when troubles pile up as high as the bills? I like the thoughts from Psalm 119:114, "You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word." The Lord has promised that He would be our refuge and strength. He even said that His word would be a lamp to our feet and a larger light for our pathway (Psalm 119:105).

We are given tremendous promises of hope from the book of Jeremiah, the great prophet. Jeremiah 32:17, "O Sovereign Lord God! You have made the heavens and earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you."

Dear friend, there is no problem in your life that God cannot reach. His hand and power is able to bring the help that you need. Remember, that the Lord declared:  "Behold, I am the the God of all the peoples of the world. Is there anything too hard for Me?" God is asking a powerful question. He said and I repeat again: "Is there anything too hard for Me?" Well, the Lord answers the question in Matthew 19:26, "...but with God all things are possible."

My mother, Sue Campbell, was a lady with a powerful prayer ministry. One of her most favorite verses concering the power of prayer was Jeremiah 33:3, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know."

On Mother's Day, May 8th, 2005, my mother, Sue Campbell, went to be with the Lord. She was 89 years of age and had enjoyed a happy and fruitful life. Many have said, "I am so sorry that she had to die on Mother's Day." My granddaugher, was only ten years old at the time and she said, "It is alright because she was the grandest mother of all!"

Mother graduated from college when she had four children. She served as a pastor's wife for 50 years and helped countless couples and women to find a strong faith in the Lord. People were drawn to her by her magnetic smile and the joy of the Lord that filled her life.

When Mother was eleven years of age, Jesus appeared to her in a vision as she made a public declaration to receive the Lord into her heart. This life changing experience happened to Mother in her little country church. From that moment on, she never turned away from the One who gave her new life!
