    5/4/25 – Faith That Changes Things: Whosoever – Susan Allen
    FAITH that CHANGES things   WHOSOEVER 5/4/25 Picnic Sunday, susan allen  age doesn’t matter when it comes to faith FAITH IS A FORCE! :WHOSOEVER: Rom 10:11 kjv For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.---------saved -sozo: kept safe, protected, delivered, made well PRAY WITH YOUR KIDS not just for YOUR KIDS (prayers that avail much for kids- Germaine Copeland) YOUR child is a WHOSOEVER and their faith is not SMALL   Mark 11:22-kjv And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.     --- it’s ok to learn and develop your faith WITH your CHILDREN Luke 18:15-TLB  One day some mothers brought their babies to him to touch and bless. But the disciples told them to go away. 16-17 Then Jesus called the children over to him and said to the disciples, "Let the little children come to me! Never send them away! For the Kingdom of God belongs to men who have hearts as trusting as these little children's. And anyone who doesn't have their kind of faith will never get within the Kingdom's gates."   TEACH them to go to GOD with any issues fire safety: STOP----DROP----ROLL STOP----PRAY-----SAY
    1. stop (be still and know I am God- Psalm 46:10)
    2. pray (talk to GOD about it)
    3. SAY (say what God says about it)
      HEALING---1 Peter 2:24 by whose stripes ye were healed. PEACE--John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. NEEDS: Phil 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. PEACEFUL SLEEP: Prov 3:24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. INSECURITY: 2 Tim 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. STOP-PRAY-SAY I know you created me for a purpose and if I listen to you-you will help me be the person that I need to be. Jer 29:11- For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.   You have given me the power to resist and turn down all things that are not good for my future. James 4:7- So give yourselves humbly to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. And when you draw close to God, God will draw close to you.   You have provided me with everything I need in my life. 2 Peter 1:2-3 For as you know him better, he will give you, through his great power, everything you need for living a truly good life:   I choose to think on right things and control my thoughts and desires.Phil 4:8-9 Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and heard from me and saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you.   You forgave me over 2000 years ago of anything I would ever do-you take away any shame or guilt because I honestly ask for forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.   If I change what I think about-it will change my actions and my results. Rom 12:2 Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.   I have the peace of God no matter what is happening around me. Phil 4:6- Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.   You show me what to do. Ps 119:105- Your words are a flashlight to light the path ahead of me and keep me from stumbling.   Your word teaches me responsibility for my words and actions.Prov 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.   You want to hear from me and you want to help me. James 1:5 If you need wisdom, if you want to know what God wants you to do, ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking.  

    With God-I can overcome anything. 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith

      You give me the strength to handle anything I face. Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.     I am a good listener and I know what to say at the right time. Isa 50:4 The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.   I have power above my natural ability. Power to love, to handle situations and keep my mind strong. I have no reason to be afraid. 2 Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.   You understand me. You sculpted my body- like an amazing artist - I am your masterpiece. Ps 139:1-God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand. I'm an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back; I'm never out of your sight. You know everything I'm going to say before I start the first sentence. I look behind me and you're there, then up ahead and you're there, too -your reassuring presence, coming and going. This is too much, too wonderful, I can't take it all in! Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight?  If I climb to the sky, you're there! If I go underground, you're there! If I flew on morning's wings to the far western horizon, You'd find me in a minute, you're already there waiting! Then I said to myself, "Oh, he even sees me in the dark! At night I'm immersed in the light!" It's a fact: darkness isn't dark to you; night and day, darkness and light, they're all the same to you. Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb.  I thank you, High God, you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration, what a creation!  You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, the days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.

    Scriptures of Overcoming Anxious Thoughts
    Matthew 6:25 ¶ Therefore I say unto you, take no thought(merimnao-Anxious) for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
     26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?  27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?  28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:  29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?  31 Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.  33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.   Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always (at all times): and again I say, Rejoice.  5 Let your moderation(Patience) be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.  6 Be careful (Merimnao-Anxious)for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.   Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.   Matthew 18:1 ¶ At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?  2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,  3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
     4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
     
     
    Scriptures on Sacrifices of Praise and Thanksgiving   Isaiah 61:1 ¶ The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;  2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;  3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.     Psalms 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.  18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,  19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. (KJV)   Jeremiah 33:10 ¶ Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,  11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth forever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.     Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
