    Your Past is Lived Out. Your Present Belongs to Jesus. (gather God’s morning manna)

    This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd.  Season 3 Episode 193 Your Past is Lived Out. Your Present Belongs to Jesus. (gather God’s morning manna) Here’s the gist, human. We crave a blank slate. Starting again. I can picture the excitement of the Israelites packing for the exodus.  Everyone loves a blank slate. But when the post Red Sea reality settles in, we begin to romanticize the past.  The free fish, the cucumbers, the lemons, the garlic. We crave that which we no longer have now that we see it in the rearview mirror.  Numbers 11:4-6 4 The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. 6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!” Sometimes God leads our exodus to a future we didn’t plan for. A future we didn’t want. I show up a little heroic in these circumstances, veiling my perspective in an undying commitment to God’s Will, but my soul continues to pine for what I am leaving behind.  Join us to consider what happens when our past challenges God’s daily provision.

    When You Just Need a Joy Boost (David, Peter, Jesus to elevate your attitude)

    This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd.  Season 3 Episode 192 When You Just Need a Joy Boost (David, Peter, Jesus to elevate your attitude) Here’s the gist, human. Sometimes we just need to jumpstart some joy. The kind of elation and inspiration that only comes from our Creator. We need God to pump us up. And he can. So if you are feeling, depressed, discouraged, distraught, disengaged, and maybe just plain low, join us for a little joy boost.  I had other insights in mind for today, powerful verses, scenes I just travelled in my Bible trek, I just finished living through 39 kings endnote ruling Queen in the divided kingdom… but God handed me a mighty mandate.  To talk about the power of his Joy today. And remember, human, that his Word is God-breathed. When you hear his Word picture God filling your spirit with a crazy, enduring energy, an eternal assurance that your life, your purpose, well, his purpose for you, is worthy in the name of his Son. An affirmation deep within your heart that defies all the crusty defeats your earthly life is throwing at you.  1 Peter 1:8-9 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. Today, joy boost 1, 2, and 3. Take it in and pass it along to someone who needs it BAD right now.

    Live a Life that Honors God’s Covenant (we need the wilderness)

    This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd.  Season 3 Episode 191 Live a Life that Honors God’s Covenant (we need the wilderness) Here’s the gist, human. What happened in the wilderness for forty years with Moses and the chosen nation, seems like a long time ago. Time has changed things. Culture has moved on. Jesus came to save us, we can leave the wilderness behind.  No thank you. I need that wilderness. I need to know deeply, I need to embrace how God made his covenant with his chosen nation. Because Jesus fulfilled the covenant of his Heavenly Father. I need to live a life that honors God’s covenant. From the beginning to the end. I am traversing through God’s story right now, and realized I must stop and share words you may not have heard, the words of Moses. Not at the burning bush, not at the Red Sea, not when he struck the rock (although that is super important). No, words he spoke when he and the nation he was leading is on the threshold of the Promised Land. His words, his pouring into these people, his appealing to them to take God into their hearts, that God is near, his words to shepherd one generation out, and new generations in, as they are about to cross the Jordan. With dry feet.  Deuteronomy 30:11-14 11 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12 It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. Join us in the wilderness, with a million+ men, women, children, the next generation. E191.

    I Feel You Hovering, God (bring me from chaos to the light)

    This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd.  Season 3 Episode 190 I Feel You Hovering, God (bring me from chaos to the light) Here’s the gist, human. God “hovered” over the dark surface of the deep.  Genesis 1:1-2 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. The Spirit of God moved first. He hovered. A bird metaphor—like an eagle over her nest. Volumes have been written to interpret the beginning of creation. It is a truly joyous moment that we cannot possibly comprehend. We weren’t there. We have never seen such a thing as God creating our world to live in. Six days of creating that brings us our world and humanity. We know this. It started with God, hovering. So I can’t help but think about how God hovers over each of us, in any given moment. Hovering, his full attention on the right time to bring what? The light. His light. No less so than when he made that first move to breathe life into our creation.  It leads me to this question: How long does the Spirit of God hover over the lost sheep until I, or you, follow the bleating and find this little, lost woolly creature? Because the Spirit of God is ready and waiting to bring this creature to new life with the 99.  Join us to consider the power of surrendering to a God who patiently, expectantly, waits to bring the light, the truth, to our moments, our days, our path, our witness, our life.  Right out of the scripture gate. The first five verses of Genesis. E190.  Listen to full episode on your platform here: pod.link/1648558274  #Godhovers #God’sNature #SpiritualMaturity #God’sSovereignty #FaithtoWitness #SpiritualMotivation #KnowingGodDeeply #FierceFaith #SpiritualComfort #PoorinSpirit #Faith #Witness #LostSheep #FaithWalkPodcast #WomenFaithPodcast #ChristFollowers #MyWitness99 #BuildingSpiritualCharacter #GrowMyFaith #Leavethe99 #BoldChristianWitness #ChristianPodcast #InstagramReels #God’sStory Find today’s show notes with links at Substackhttps://substack.com/@kathrynabise1 and  https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/  Never miss an episode | subscribe at kathrynbise.com Connect with Kathryn: deeperwater@kathrynbise.com Instagram (link in bio) Substack: https://substack.com/@kathrynabise1  Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

    What Does Seven Years of God’s Provision Get Us? (let’s ask Joseph)

    Here’s the gist, human. Receiving God’s provisions is an ongoing challenge. For instance, right now. I am revving up for my annual Bible trek, Genesis through Revelation. So how is God preparing my heart this year? By putting me right in the middle of Joseph’s Egyptian journey. A “grain beyond measure” kind of motivation. When “God’s provisions eliminate scarcity” storyline.  How does this prepare my heart? It’s easy. God’s provision for where I land on page 1140, the last page of Revelation, will be beyond measure. God’s provision will be beyond my wanting. Like the seven years of abundance Joseph stewarded in Egypt.  So I must steward my 40+ pages well. Each day. Because this journey, and whatever journey you are currently on, will always evolve into a different need, into a deficiency that needs addressed, a relationship that is starving, a condition that is headed toward fatal.  A famine that needs spiritual food. Grain beyond measure. Name your journey and join us. E189. What Does Seven Years of God’s Provision Get Us? (let’s ask Joseph) Genesis 41:49 49 Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure.

    Power - Sirga the Lioness and the “Omni” of Our God

    Here’s the gist, human. I hunt for the power of God in my life. I follow Sirga (Sierga), the 400 lb lioness living in the African bush. Just me and a million+ other humans. I do it because I am in pursuit of knowing God more deeply. I think God’s animal kingdom holds deep truth about his nature. Sirga gets my attention. Her presence is uncompromising. She brings the all of her in every moment. As an apex predator in her habitat, she is sovereign. God created her to be so.  I am forever seeking to tighten my spiritual grip on the “omni” of my God. The totality of his everything. His all. His sovereign nature. Why? Because we live so far below it. We fall so far short of it. We try, but God is just so “everything.” Sirgi gives me a deeper sense of God’s power and his presence when multiplied by eternity. From creature to Creator. Join us. E188. Job 38: 39-40 39 “Do you hunt the prey for the lioness   and satisfy the hunger of the lions 40 when they crouch in their dens   or lie in wait in a thicket?

    Friendships - “The Lord is Witness Between You and Me Forever” (friends inspire friends to witness, Part 2)

    Here’s the gist, human. Friends inspire friends to witness. For starters, witness to each other. It’s good practice. Share what God is doing in your life. Do not live through your relationship with a friend on silent, unsaid assumptions that whisper amen. Speak loud, talk boldly to your friends about the presence of the heart of God in your life. We cannot ever get enough of God. We always need Jesus. We need his Word, we need spirit prompts to pull us back into the kingdom reality we are living toward. Jesus showed his disciples how to be a friend by sharing what he had learned from his Father. (His words, not mine.) He laid down his divine advantage to lay down his life for his friends. A Savior who came to be with us and lead a wild revolution of how people should treat each other, witness to each other, carry a quiver of arrows to protect each other, and find a whole bunch of lost sheep.  Friends inspire friends to “go finding.” Today’s episode is dedicated to my three granddaughters—Audrey, Calli, and Sophia.  That they seek covenant friendships throughout their lives.  That they seek friends who “go finding.” That they make a wild revolution of it. Join us. E187. John 15:13 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd.  Season 3 Episode 187 Friendships - “The Lord is Witness Between You and Me Forever” (friends inspire friends to witness, Part 2)  Listen to full episode on your platform here: pod.link/1648558274   #friendsinJesus #amazingfriends #Jesusfriend #friendswhowitness #spiritualmaturity #God’ssovereignty #faithtowitness #honoringstruggles #spiritualmotivation #knowingGoddeeply #fiercefaith #becomingpoorinspirit #faith #witness #findthelostsheep #instagramreels #christfollowers #hopewriterscommunity #truthtotablecommunity #mywitness99 #howtogrowmyfaith #buildingspiritualcharacter #growmyfaith #leavethe99 #boldChristianwitness #Iamfound #christianpodcast #christfollowers   Find today’s show notes with links at https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/ Never miss an episode | subscribe at kathrynbise.com Connect with Kathryn: deeperwater@kathrynbise.com Instagram (link in bio) Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

    Friendships - “The Lord is Witness Between You and Me Forever” (friends in the name of the Lord, Part 1)

    Here’s the gist, human. Jonathan, son of King Saul told the future king, David, that “the Lord is witness between you and me forever.” Now that’s a friendship sealed by a God who doesn’t mess around with the truth. Two warriors who immediately connected, bonded through God’s covenant, and made the pact Jesus talks about in John 15:13.  So for one, can we just ponder the strength of having our Lord be a witness to the relationships he brings us to on this earth? And for another, can we rally our free will toward choosing friends that God ordains, friends who are invested in bringing a daily witness to others?  This resonates. If you want to strengthen your witness to others, then commit to God as the witness between you and every friend you hold close. Choose wisely. I am not talking about connections built on emojis and amens. I am talking about shooting three arrows beyond the path of your friends and forging friendships that keep you on the path to find the one. The kind of friend who is working the same terrain, from a different cave, looking for lost sheep. Just like you. Had to be said. Let’s think about it.  1 Samuel 20:23 23 And about the matter you and I discussed—remember, the Lord is witness between you and me forever.” E186.
