0:02 Welcome to another edition of Fixing the Money Thing. I'm Gary Kasey.0:05 And I'm Drenda Kasey. We're glad you joined us today. We're talking about decisions, how to make decisions. Have you ever had a decision you were trying to make and you kept going back and forth and you try to look at0:16 the pros and the cons and then you just vacillate and many times we procrastinate because we don't know the right decision.0:23 Did you know that the Bible says there's a way to make correct decisions every time? I bet you probably didn't. What we're gonna find out today on fixing the money thing, how that works, and we're gonna show you the0:34 scripture that says that when we come back.0:38 With most families burdened in unsustainable unsustainable levels of personal debt, most Americans believe there is no way to have financial freedom. However, author, pastor, and financial expert Gary0:50 Kasey believes most families can be completely out of debt in less than 7 years.0:55 You must get out of debt. You've got0:58 to make right choices with your money right now. Gary and his wife, Drenda, are now on a crusade to share this information that changed their life so that you can not just survive but prosper in today's economy.1:10 Your life can be totally transformed by an idea in the marketplace. This is Gary Kasey, Fixing the Money Thing.1:22 How important is prayer in your life? How important are making decisions? How important is it to do the right thing, make the right decision? You know, God's word gives us all the answers we need in life, the1:33 principles, but the details come from direction by the Holy Spirit. Right?1:38 That's right. You can't turn to a page in the Bible and says, Mary so and so, or know, but1:42 By this farm or work at this place.1:45 But I thank God that He has a way to speak to us. And I go back, of course, we were just friends, worked together at a company way back. We were both in college.1:54 35 years ago.1:55 35 years ago. And you know, I was 27. I'm of course, marrying age, and I'm looking for a wife. And we are just friends. And2:07 just remember the day that we never dated. But 1 day the Lord spoke to me and said, that's your wife. And I said, praise God, that's a good word.2:16 Tell her Lord.2:18 Yeah, tell her. And it was only 2 weeks later I asked you to marry me.2:21 That's right.2:21 We never did date.2:22 That's right. That's right. And when I said yes, she said, is that all? You don't need to think about it or pray about it, but the Lord had already given me that witness.2:30 And so God will speak to us and give us direction.2:32 And then he did so with our finances and business and2:35 Yeah.2:35 Every decision we've had to But it's not The right decisions we made. We made a few we didn't seek God on.2:40 Here's a can I say I wanna say It's it's important that having that direction firmed up Mhmm? Gives you the staying power2:48 Yes. Does.2:48 To develop the direction God. So many people come and say, well, I'm gonna start this business. I'm gonna do this and do that. And you know, in about a year or 6 months or even 3 months, they've quit. But when the Lord2:59 gives you direction, he's given you specific direction, you can anchor to that and you can hold to that in those tough times to get where God saw you being before you get there.3:10 It's so true because it's not that our marriage didn't have intense moments Mhmm. Of fellowship or difficulties or hardships or that our businesses didn't or that ministry didn't. But when you've heard God's voice, like3:20 you said, the anchor is and you continue to trust God for the outcome instead of what you see for the moment.3:26 That's right.3:27 Staying power. That's great.3:27 When we started our business, God gave us a dream in the night, gave me a dream in the night to start our company from scratch. And I didn't know anything about much of anything. It's in the financial field and at that3:37 time computers were were pretty new, especially the desktop type computers. They were pretty slow back then.3:43 Yes.3:44 And so at that time, launching into that business was kind of unnerving to someone that knew nothing about computers or wasn't really administrative. But because God spoke to me about that3:55 business, we persevered and learned what we had to learn.3:59 That's right.3:59 And that business is what got us out of debt. It's still producing today hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. It's been a great asset to our life, our ministry, But we had to do both. We had to hear the Lord and we4:11 had to persevere with that direction. In fact, a pastor I had many many years ago in my early life as a Christian said these words which really helped me. He said, when God speaks to you, don't change4:23 direction until he speaks again. And there were days I begged him to. I begged him, please change direction, but he didn't. And I'm glad he didn't because it held me in the direction where we're at today and4:34 it's it was very promising. You know, we humbly say, we're not this good in the sense that what God has done in our life, there's no way where we started out, you and I, that we could have done the things that4:46 we've done.4:47 I know.4:47 God is better than you are, better than me. And so, don't take credit. We give Him the glory for it. That's what God wants to do. He wants to glorify Himself in your life and my life by listening to His Spirit, by4:58 letting His Word be the principles that we live by, and His Spirit directing us through those situations in life.5:05 I always say, you know, Luke chapter 5, when Peter, James, and John were fishing all night and caught nothing. Then Jesus borrows the boat and they go out the next day, of course, and catch so many fish. The nets about5:14 break and the 2 boats about sink. I always say, how hard would it be to catch fish if Jesus told you where the fish were? And that's it. Success is based on hearing God, following after him, and let's dive a little bit5:26 into how the principle works out of Romans the eighth chapter, and we're gonna look at verse number 22 today. Now, I'm gonna read here. Paul is teaching. He says, We know that the whole creation has been5:37 groaning as in the pains of childbirth. Now you, I don't relate to that, you understand. But the bottom line is in childbirth something that's never been birthed before in the earth realm is being birthed. So,5:49 there's groaning5:50 in There's pressure. There's pressure. There's pressure. There's transition. Yes. There's change coming.5:55 That's5:55 right. And so, it's very very much I can see the analogy.5:59 Analogy. So, in the same way, it says, we know the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves who have the first fruits of the6:10 spirit grown inwardly. Now in the same way childbirth, a woman has that pressure in childbirth, the Bible is using an analogy that out of our spirit is gonna be6:22 birthed things that never existed before. This is important to your life to let the Holy Spirit bring direction that you never thought of as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. And6:34 dropping down to verse 26 it says, in the same way groaning or birthing Alright. The spirit of God helps us in our weakness. Now what is6:46 the weakness it's talking about? We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the spirit of God himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot6:58 express or birthing new things that we can't articulate ourselves because we don't know. That's the weakness. We don't know how to pray. Now remember the Bible says in first John 5 147:09 15, this is our confidence. If we ask anything according to the will of God, he hears us. And if we know he hears us, we have those things we've asked of him. So you're7:21 handicapped. If you don't know the will of God, it's impossible to have faith. Faith is in agreement with what heaven says. So that's the weakness Paul is talking about. I mean the Bible does give7:33 principles as you said, but it doesn't say to move to California, buy this house, sell the house, sell my stock, marry this girl, whatever. But I can't really pray along those lines without knowing the will of God, you7:44 see. So here we have the Bible telling us there's a solution for not knowing the will of God, and Paul says this is a weakness. But the Holy Spirit himself7:56 intercedes for us with groans that words we can't articulate. He's gonna help us birth this thing. Alright? And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the spirit. That means8:07 the thoughts of God's spirit because the spirit of God intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. Now the Holy Spirit's been poured out in the earth realm. So where is he interceding at?8:19 Through us.8:20 Through us. We're in the earth realm. He's in us. So he's going to intercede through us, and Paul calls that intercession praying in the spirit, or basically being prompted8:32 by the Holy Spirit. And here we see the Holy Spirit can pray through us His perfect will. Now in just a moment after the break, we're gonna come back and8:44 explain how this operates and how it helps us with thoughts. So right now we just wanna get the thought that groaning as in childbirth. See birthing something you don't know,8:56 you need something. You're at your end, you don't have the solution. But the Bible says the Holy Spirit is going to birth your solution. Something you've never seen before, something that's not existed before.9:08 He's gonna birth that into your life, and birth that. He's gonna actually help you by interceding that, the will of God in your life, Himself. So, Drenda, this is a powerful9:20 principle in hearing the Lord.9:22 Everything that we've ever been involved in that's had success that God's hand was on Mhmm. Came from prayer. Praying That's right. Seeking God. I can remember seeking God in the farmhouse, pacing the9:34 floor, listening to worship music, praying in the spirit, seeking Father God, and hearing his voice about ministry, about church, about direction. And we're living today in what we prayed and the9:46 Holy Spirit brought through intercession back then many years ago.9:49 And we allowed him to birth.9:51 Yes.9:51 When we come back, we're gonna talk more about this concept of allowing God to birth in your life new things, new direction, direction, and things you never thought of.10:08 Today, from Gary and Drenda Cissi Ministries, kingdom teaching and powerful tools you can use to fix your money thing. James 1 verse 5 tells us that if we lack10:20 anything, we should ask God. But how do we do that? Stop and pray. In their new 3 part audio series, Just Pray, Gary and Brenda share their own revelations about10:32 the power of just praying. If you don't pray heaven's will into the earth, heaven's will's not coming.10:38 We need to be praying so we're bold and we're courageous and we're hearing what God says and we see his perspective.10:44 Gary reminds us to trust God and walk in his power. Prayer is vital to your success. Prayer is vital to your life. God already has your answer for you. You can10:56 know what the will of God is. Drenda shares how we can overcome setbacks through our connection to God.11:02 When you get in prayer, you may not feel like praying, but once you make the act of faith and you make a decision to start praying, the Holy Spirit will come in there and you'll start to get ideas. You'll get answers to11:13 situations and problems and things you're dealing with.11:16 In Just Pray, you'll get critical knowledge on prayer.

Call, write or log on and get13:02 your own Just Pray package today.13:09 I love how God's word can anchor us to what we are needing to do, the principles and understanding the kingdom, but also how the Holy Spirit gives us the details and the directions. And I13:21 know this prayer series is gonna really be a blessing to you along with the Holy Spirit book. Getting that, going through the Word of God, scripture by scripture, and understanding God's will is the Holy Spirit in your13:31 life. Understanding how prayer impacts bringing the kingdom of God into your situation and into your life. So, I encourage you to get that. But, I know back, we have 6 grandchildren at this13:43 time, and when our second 1 was coming, I certainly did not wanna miss the birth of our second daughter's little baby. So, I was like, no, I'm not gonna go on this trip that we'd won. And that trip was, it was a trip to13:54 Costa Rica. Was very, very All expenses paid.13:57 Yeah, you love the beach.13:58 It was awesome And I went to see those monkeys, those howler monkeys and all those14:02 Yeah,14:02 other14:02 the monkeys down there.14:03 But, the dilemma was, the trip was only 1 particular week, and that week was the week that our second grandchild was And I'm too much of a grandma and a mommy. I'm not missing that14:15 grandchild being born. So, were registered for the trip, but I just did not feel like I could go on it. And Gary actually was seeking God in prayer. We were praying. We were both praying about it, but you heard something14:26 from the Holy Spirit that helped us that, you know.14:28 Well, it's 1 of those kind of situations that maybe you're facing today that you have to know. I mean, there's 1 thing to do and another not You've gotta know what thing to do.14:37 Right. And if you make the wrong decision, it could be like you're gonna miss14:40 something. And so, I was praying. Praying in the spirit. I exercise in the morning and I was just praying in the spirit for a couple days in a row and the second day I was praying the Lord spoke to me and gave me the14:51 exact date that baby would be born which was 2 days after the end of this trip. And I came home excited said, Drenda, the Lord said to go on that trip, that baby will be born 2 days after we get15:03 back. And we got home, of course, the baby was born 2 days15:06 after we get Because I trust you, Spiritual. I kept saying to him, I trust you. I trust Are you sure? Are you sure? I trust you. And sure enough, it was exactly to the day what the15:18 Holy Spirit showed Gary. And had we not heard that, we would have missed a wonderful trip. We would have been back here waiting, waiting, waiting. Boring fear. Yeah. Then the baby Precious. The baby would have been born,15:29 you know, 2 days after we would have thought, darn, we missed that trip. We could have gone. Or like you said, we could have gone on the trip and been anxious, but I had perfect peace15:37 That's right.15:38 That you'd heard that. And it bore witness with my spirit as well. But in the natural, we start to argue things in our mind. So our mind is trying to analyze everything in the spirit. Gary, how do you how do you15:50 know whether it's your mind that you're getting this from? Or how do you know it's the Holy Spirit? Because I15:55 know that can make you You're That's a great question we can dig into right now. How does this actually operate? To understand this, the first thing you need to understand is your 3 parts. You have a spirit, the God part16:06 of you, your soul realm, your mind, will, and emotions, and you live in a body. That you need to have that. And we're gonna talk out of first Corinthians the second chapter verse number 7. Now Paul is writing here16:18 and he says, no we speak of God's secret wisdom. Notice the word secret wisdom. A wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time begins. So Paul says there's a16:30 wisdom that needs to be hidden. We need to answer who from. Well, it's not for us because he says it's destined for our glory. So it's he explains here. None of the rulers of this16:42 age understood it for if they had they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. Vital principle here. He's talking about Satan and demons. If they pick up on the plan of God, they're gonna try to intercept that plan.16:54 So Paul goes on and says, however, as it is written, no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.17:06 Now, we've all heard that scripture before. Many times at funerals or people quote that and certainly someone dies and goes to heaven. We don't have a concept of how great that's gonna be. You know, it's gonna be17:16 amazing. But it goes on and says, but God has revealed these things to us by his spirit. What things has he revealed to us?17:23 The direction.17:24 Well, things we haven't heard, things we haven't seen, things we've not thought of, and that's what I need. I need a revelation of things I don't have a clue about. And the Bible says right here that17:36 by God's spirit, he revealed these things, he has revealed these things to us. Now it says the spirit of God searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men know the thoughts of a man except17:48 the man's spirit within him? Now this is a key principle. Your spirit and your thoughts, your mind are so closely connected that you can't hardly discern the difference. In fact, Hebrews referring to the word18:00 of God says, the word of God is active and living, able to discern or divide between soul And spirit. Mind, willed emotions, and spirit. Because we have trouble doing that. They're so closely tied18:12 together. Okay, so hold that. Now in the same way, no 1 knows the thoughts of God except the spirit of God. So catch this, God's spirit obviously knows his thoughts. Our spirit knows our18:24 thoughts closely tied together. When we're born again, the spirit of God unites with our spirit as 1. As God's spirit where the temple of the Holy Spirit indwells us becomes part18:36 of our spirit, Guess what we have access to18:39 God's spirit.18:40 God's spirit but God's thoughts.18:42 Yes.18:43 Thoughts. That's important. We've not received the spirit from the world but the spirit of God who is from God that we may understand what God has freely given to us and this18:55 is what we speak not in words taught us by human wisdom or basically what we can discern eyes ears thoughts but in words taught words19:06 taught by the Holy Spirit. Catch this words we speak taught to us by the Holy Spirit expressing spiritual truths in spiritual19:18 words. Now the spiritual man the man without the spirit of God it says does not accept the things that come from the spirit for their foolishness to him and he cannot understand them because they're spiritually19:28 discerned. But here's our verse. I told you, I promised I'd give this to you. Verse 15, first Corinthians chapter 2 verse 15. The spiritual man makes judgments or has discernment19:40 about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment. Meaning he's not subject or limited to man's judgment. Man's ability to discern.19:52 He's not limited by that. So the spirit of God in us, Strinda, knows all things. We have his thoughts. God's voice, he speaks to us, comes up out of our spirit,20:04 and we are able to discern or judge like that vacation. Now just yesterday, speaking of vacations, we had a trip we were planning to go on about a month from now, and the Holy Spirit said, no, don't go. And we20:16 canceled our plans. You say, why would you do that? Because he said, he led me to the direction. I was praying about it. We are not to go on that trip. So we're to be led in life. In fact, the Bible says that children of20:27 God are led in life by the spirit of God. Now the spirit of God in us, his thoughts come into our spirit. I always say they kind of bubble up into our consciousness because our spirit so closely tied to20:39 our thoughts. People say what does God's voice sound like? It sounds like your thoughts with a different twang to it. It has a different sound to it, but it rises up as a thought, but it has a different sound20:51 to it. There's so much more we could cover along this topic, but of course, I really want people to get this book. The most essential thing you need after salvation is the baptism of the Holy Spirit.21:03 Because as you learn how to pray in the spirit, Paul referenced spiritual words that the Holy Spirit teaches us how to pray. The Holy Spirit praying through us revealed21:15 in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Now if you're like me, never heard of that growing up. But I wanna challenge you to check the word of God out into what it says about this.21:24 Yes. And I love it says, the spirit himself makes intercession through us. When we don't even know the words to pray, we don't know the direction. The spirit on the inside of us prays those words, spiritual21:36 words that you read, when we don't know what to do or how to lead. And I've just seen so many times, praying in the spirit, and then right after that knowing exactly what to do, just boom, it hits us. And sometimes we21:47 can get so pressured in life trying to make a decision that you start to get under intense, this this vacillating Confusion is the right word. And I know for us, many times we21:59 would just start doing something else. We've been praying in the spirit, start doing something else. And when you're not worried, you're not thinking on it, you're not dwelling on it, or sometimes in the middle of the22:07 night, or in the wee hours of the morning when you just are first waking up in that twilight of time, the Holy Spirit will drop the answer to you just like that, and you'll know. I know for us, 1 time we had to make a22:18 decision and we were busy and we ended up going to an amusement park, just relax for the evening. While we're standing in the line for a roller coaster, all of a sudden, Gary just gets from the Holy Spirit the answer.22:28 And he turns to me and goes, I just heard from God, this is what we're supposed to do. It's because we were so we were we were relaxing. And so, don't get stressed out if you're in a pressured situation, trying so hard22:39 to hear, trying to make a decision. Sometimes you create that environment that's so intense you can't hear from God. And you need to just pray in the spirit and trust God. Roll the care over on him. And then an hour22:51 where you think not, boom, just the Holy Spirit will give you that direction, give you that word. He'll say, don't go, don't do this, stop this, Here's the answer. Here's the direction that you're looking for, and you23:01 can make a great decision.23:02 That's a great word, Jerinda. Well, listen23:04 We don't make them under pressure, do we?23:05 No. Under pressure, because your mind's all swirling. Yes. That's why Jesus pulled away to A Quiet Place. Yes.
