  • Part 1 Body Soul and Spirit - Putting God first
    2025/04/01
    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 ...

  • The Sower Sows the Word
    2023/04/19

    Mark 4:1-10 The parable about the sower who went out to sow some seeds and what the fate of those seeds was based on where they fell. After Jesus was done speaking, when the apostles had Him to themselves they asked Him to explain it.

    He told them that the Seed is the word of God, and where the seeds are sown is the heart. In truth, doing this portion of the podcast is very time-consuming and without help for me to get this portion done, it will not get done.

    I have to believe that, for now, the audio podcast is enough, and when I am in a different financial situation I will hire someone to write out the transcript and all that goes along with this portion of it. Till then I am going to have to believe that having this podcast as audio only will be enough. If this work blesses you and you find it in your heart to support this ministry here is a link where you can give. Thank you. https://donorbox.org/what-does-god-say-to-you

  • Having a Personal Revival
    2023/01/30
    Welcome to the “What does God say to you? Podcast”.  This podcast's purpose is to make the Bible relevant to everyday living.My heart is to help you have a close relationship with God, to know him and to know his will for your life through understanding his holy word, the Bible. I believe that God's word is manual for living. I have found clues to help us receive and achieve; according to 3 John 1:2, God wants all his children to be healthy and prosper. A life of fulfillment, contentment, and blessings can be ours.This episode is titled "Having a Personal Revival". If you feel led to support this ministry, I thank you in advance. There is a link in the show notes, the description box, or somewhere on this page with the podcast.We talked about the power of praise, and I said, there's a lot to this, and I'm going to stick with this, and we're going to break it up. And even just one little section of what I talked about could be an entire teaching sermon. So last week was a power praise. And this is what the foundation of the whole thing was. It was about David, who was in the wilderness, very upset and not happy. Life was not easy for him. He was called by God. He was a very good man. There was no justification for the king to be so against him and for him to have to be fearful for his life, but that was the circumstances. That was the circumstance for him. And so this is a portion of Psalms, and it's Psalm 42–43. So this is his cry to God, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God.” my soul thirst for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God? So he's saying, I want you, I need you so much. It's like water to the human body. My tears have been my meat, day and night. While they continually say unto me, where is the God? My tears have been my meat day and night. In other words, he's crying all the time. He's not happy. While they continually say unto me, where is your God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me. For I had gone with the multitude. I went with them to the houses of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holy day. So he remembers the past there. Why aren't thou cast my soul? Now he's asking himself this question. And why are you disquieted within me? Hope thy in God, for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance? So he's reminding himself, what are you worried about? You know who God is. You know what he is to you.Now, what does he do again? Oh my God, my soul is cast down within me. Therefore, I will remember them from the land of Jordan and of the hematites and the hill of Mizvah, deep calls unto deep at the noise of thy water spouse, all thy waves and I billows are gone over me.So in that one instance, he remembers Noah and how he delivered Noah from the depths of the water. Yet the Lord will command his loving kindness in the daytime and the night. His song shall be with me and my prayer unto the God of my life, I will say unto my rock, why has thou forgotten to me? Why do I mourn because of the oppression of the enemy? He is so flip-flopping, and he isn't flip-flopping in faith here; he's flip-flopping in emotion. Sometimes we just can't help the emotion that's going on in our lives because of the turmoil that's coming in. But we wanna keep it in check. And this is what he's doing here. We're seeing a real man in faith experiencing real circumstances  Because we tend to think that people from the Bible were so different from us. They weren't so different from us.The biggest difference between them from us, it was their training. So let's see, I will say unto God, my rock, I read that already, as with the sword in my bones. My enemy reproaches me while they say daily unto me, where is your God? So he's distressed here. Why now, again, what does he say? He's going in with his distresses. And what he says is to keep it. He's continuing to keep a check on what's going on there. Why art thou cast down, oh, my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God for I shall yet praise him. Who is the health of the count? It's and my God, judge me.So this is going on to the next chapter, which should, in my opinion, have been one complete chapter because of this continual verse that is threaded throughout.Judge me, oh God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Deliver me from the deceitful and just man. Now he's saying a prayer, Very different than mine, I am cast down. I am so upset. It's like a sword in my bones. He said, Pray there for thou, my God, of my strength. Why does outcast me off? Why go am I mourning before the oppressor's oppression of the enemy? Oh, send thy light and thy truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me unto thy holy hill and the tabernacles, then will I go unto the altar of God, of God unto God, my exceeding joy ye up upon the heart. Will I praise the oh God, my God. So now, at any of this time, though, with all of this upsetness that he ...

  • The Book of Luke (Whispered ASMR)
    2022/12/20

    This is the entire book of Luke read whispered, or softly spoken... This is for those who like ASMR and use it for relaxing. The Bible says that The Word of God is Spiritual food "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." It also says, "Oh taste and see that the Lord is good." See? Taste... it is food, it is to be used to feed our spirits.

    It also says that, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." So, to get faith we need to hear God's Word.

    It says in Proverbs that "The Word of God is health to our navel and marrow to our bones." It is necessary for out health and well-being to listen to The Bible. 

    We feed our flesh all the time, this is spiritual food. Here is a link to give to support this ministry.
