Hello and welcome to the What Does God Say to You Podcast, I’m Kathy Roberts, Thank you so much for listening. Today’s topic is Part 1 of a series: Body Soul and Spirit - Putting God first.This month, it was my intention to put this podcast first. My goal was to get it done and posted within the first 2 weeks of the month. I fell quite short of that intention. This podcast has been on my heart for a few years and I did get it going, in 2022, but then I abandoned it. But had never left my mind or heart, niggling at me all the time, and so Dec 2024, when a new year was approaching I committed to begin in January and do one a month. It’s smart not to give yourself too much when you’re beginning something or beginning again with something. So I was ok with starting with 1 podcast a month. And the fact that I got the first one posted on the last day of the month, in the last hour - made me proud, I wasn’t upset with myself. I was happy I did it because I had been pushing it off one month at a time for years, I’m ashamed to admit. But when I did the same thing in February, it felt wrong. Even a good friend, who I respect immensely in the spirit told me after listening to the February Broadcast that I needed to make it a priority and not to leave it till last anymore. She believed that the things I was struggling with in my life that we talked about, would stop after I got that in order.I knew she was right. I felt like I had been running away from God regarding this for a long time. I said to both my 2 friends that I speak with about these kinds of things that I felt like Jonah in the belly of the whale. I knew it was wrong for me to put it off till the last minute. But then at the same time, I fell into the trap of thinking that I was way too full of myself, “belly of the whale? comparing myself to Johna? Who did I think I was?! I wasn’t actually comparing myself to him, but not doing what I sincerely believe God told me to do was seriously doing a number on me. And then there was the negative self-talk I was under attack and I was the attacker. There is more than this podcast too. God has prompted me to work on these children’s books I had written and a particular message since 1999 This was when a publisher was needed or there was no book, and getting a 4 color children’s picture book printed was thousands just to set up.. In 2011 when I began on the journey to starting a business, “What Does God Say to You” was one of the two business ideas I had. I chose the other passion I had, helping people who struggled with living in a mess, to not live in a mess anymore, clutter-free and organized. But my little picture book “What Does God Say to You” never left my mind…Well, back to the podcast. Here it is March 31 and I’m working on the podcast. The first 2 came easy and quick. The only edits I had to do was to shorten a long pause and correct a word misstated. This one feels like I’m giving labor. It is what it is though, and I’m going with it…So… as for the podcast going out last minute… One thing I know is that things don’t happen by accident. If something is important to us we make it a priority and we make the time for it. So, here is a fact: I must get it into my schedule, and at the same time it will help me conquer something that I believe has tripped me up for decades.. So what’s my problem?In our Christian walk, the body is usually not taken into consideration when life’s struggles rear it’s ugly head. I’m not talking about health struggles, but all the others….The body is hardwired to behave according to past experiences and learned behaviors. Habits reign in the body.It’s how we are designed, it’s not wrong or bad. It’s that way for survival, but somehow we’ve allowed the body to get into the driver’s seat of our lives and we fall into place, living on default.In January and February’s podcast, an example I gave was a man whose bike had been rigged to turn in the opposite direction, WHen he turned the handlebars right it went left and visa versa. We saw that there was no getting around re-learning how.. He had to re-teach his body to ride the bike the new way. Nothing was going to get it to comply, no matter how hard he tried or what he knew cognitively. Only practice and repetition were going to allow him to ride that bike the new way.The same thing applies in all areas of life. Even with things where we think that we will easily do something. We struggle. As we have seen with weight loss for example there are many wonderful, giving, faithful children of God who struggle in this area and seem not able to put down the flesh to stay away from the foods that contribute to weight gain. They ignore their gym membership or the walks they’ve committed to. There is a body involved that needs to learn, and re-learn. We need to understand how it ticks. What is going on behind the scenes plays a big part in our spiritual ...
