You'll never find your destiny until you fix the money thing. Welcome to another edition of Fixing the Money Thing. I'm Gary1:13 Kasey.1:14 And I'm Drenda. We're so glad you joined us today. We're talking about a very exciting concept, Money Mysteries from the Master. Jesus spoke about time honored truths that deal with your finances.1:26 And we want those to come to you so that you can unlock the mysteries of the kingdom of God, which will affect your finances and your family.1:34 Absolutely. Will. These are not mysteries to us, the believer. Jesus has given them to us. We have to dig them out. The Holy Spirit revealed these mysteries during the once I1:45 mean, they're all there.1:46 They are. They are and they're very exciting.1:48 Pretty amazing, pretty amazing stuff. And the book of course talks about a lot of the mysteries that God taught us. We came out of 9 years of severe financial dysfunction, judgments, liens, panic attacks, you2:00 know, antidepressants. There wasn't much joy in that sense, that was pretty tough. But God spoke to me 1 day when I got desperate after 9 years and said, you don't understand how my kingdom2:12 operates. You need to have a little revelation of how life's supposed to be lived, basically. And he began to teach us the kingdom and the mysteries of life that operate in the kingdom of2:24 God, and we were out of debt very quickly, become millionaires, began to launch businesses, able to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to projects around the world2:36 and here nationally, and our life changed. And it changed very, very quickly. And we were, I don't know about you, but I was, was pinching2:47 myself the whole time. It's like, really? That just happened? Really? That just happened?2:51 It's like you said, it's like we flipped a switch on Yes. Or unlocked a door, and then behind that door were all these incredible things that God wants for His people. They're not just for Gary and Jrendipus. See,3:02 they're for you. God wants them for you. He showed us in our place of need. We cried out to Him and said, if you'll show us God, we'll spend our life sharing with others what you told us3:14 That's right.3:14 What you share with us. And that's what we're doing today. Gary, I love today what we're talking about. Yeah. Exciting.3:19 Talking about these mysteries.3:20 The mystery of the assignment.3:21 And Adrenda, we were so dysfunctional. We got to the place we were I was afraid to leave the house. I mean, so if you're listening today and you're in financial chaos, I'm just Or if you need to, you know, move on to3:32 greater things and you don't know what to do next, I'm telling you, you know, stay right here because the answers that changed our life are in these mysteries we're3:41 talking Yeah. They are. Let's get into them. I know everybody wants to. I want to.3:44 Yes.3:44 So, Gary, you talk about let's go to chapter 9, the mystery of the assignment. Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its grape? Who tends a flock and does not drink of the3:56 milk? First Corinthians nine:seven. So what is the mystery of the assignment?4:00 Well, to understand the mystery of the assignment, you just basically kinda read a little synopsis of it, and that is, when you're on assignment, whose responsibility is it to take care of you?4:09 The person that sent you on the assignment.4:10 Exactly. So when you're on assignment with the kingdom, God has given you a directive. He's gonna make things happen for you and take care of you, but to have that happen, we need to understand4:22 how the kingdom operates. And so I call this chapter the mystery of the assignment because there's some things you need to know how God thinks when he gives us an assignment to actually take part in what4:34 can benefit your life as we do so. So let's turn to Matthew chapter 25 and let's talk about 1 of these assignments. In fact, there's a story here that's probably very famous to most people, and that is4:46 the parable of the talents.4:48 Right. And I've heard so many interpretations of this, Gary, but you give it, God gave you some revelation on this, that I think is very, very helpful to really understand what it's saying.4:59 Yeah. Well, it's pretty simple in the beginning. There's an owner, a master that sends his servants. The master's leaving town and so he gives his servants an assignment. To 1 he gives 55:11 talents, that's a measure of money, certain amount of talents of wealth, and to 1, 2 talents, and to the other 1 talent, and he leaves and expects those guys to go and do business5:23 on behalf of his company and to increase in profit. And the Bible says that the 1 1 thing I need to add here, it says, very important, he says, He gave them the assignment based on their5:34 ability. Notice the difference, 1 got 5, 1 So he had a level of trust at that level for each of these employees. The 1, as the story5:46 goes, the 5, when he came back, the master gave, got an account from these guys, the 1 that had the 5 now had 10. So he doubled the, the the talent.5:57 The 1 that had 2 now has 4, and the 1 that had 1 still had 1. We'll talk about him in a minute. But the point I'm making is the 1 that had 5 now had 10. Now here's the6:09 secret. Here's the mystery the Master knows that people miss so much of the time. What kind of assignment? Now the Bible says He gave them the assignment based on their6:21 ability. So you would assume that the Master gave the employee a 5 talent assignment because he is a 5 talent guy. Right? You have 56:33 talents. This is your level of responsibility. It's according to your ability. You've managed 5 talents. I can trust you with 5 talents. But the purpose of managing the 5 talents is not to hold the 56:45 talents, but to increase.6:47 Not to stay where he was. That's correct. But to increase.6:50 So here's the here's the question of the mystery. Did the employer give the employee a 5 talent assignment, or a 10 talent assignment as what he ended up with?7:02 10 talent.7:04 10 talent, because the assignment had the potential to capture 10 talents. So we know that the the the assignment was bigger than their current level of7:15 ability, but in the Master's mind that their ability to stretch, he didn't gauge it by their ability to stay stagnant.7:25 Right.7:26 The guy didn't become a 5 talent guy by doing nothing. So he judged the assignment by this guy's ability not to manage, but to take new territory7:38 increase and figure it out. That make Yes.7:41 Yes. To change it. To invest it.7:43 To change7:44 To become more. To make more. To do more.7:46 Let me say a nasty word. It's called pressure. Okay. How many times have we heard Christians say, launched into something and then all hell all hell broke loose and they ask a7:58 question. They say, I must have missed God.8:01 Right. That's very typical.8:02 Very typical.8:03 All this pressure. I gotta get out of this pressure. When God's actually calling us into the pressure.8:07 God actually calls you into the a wise master. Not he says, he'll never tempt you more than you can stand. The Bible does tell us that. But God, the wise master understands that if you8:19 step into to an assignment that is bigger than you, then you're gonna stretch. Right. So the guy that had 5 now has 10, he now is a 10 talent guy. He can manage 108:31 talents, because he knew how he got them. He stretched, he got what he needed, he had to figure out, you know He worked with it. He had to hire more, know, he had to learn more data, he had to learn8:43 something else that he didn't already know to build that 5 to 10, but now that he built it, he knows how he built it, and he's a 10 talent guy.8:53 Right. And not only can he build it, he now can manage it. He can manage Because he took ownership of it.8:57 That's right.8:57 That's 5 talents, and worked it up to the 10 talents. So his values the profit's increased. His management's increased. Yes. Everything is increased.9:06 Yes. So this is the mystery. It's the mystery of the assignment. God gives us things that are always bigger than us, because he never expects us to do it on our own, first off. It's gonna do it together.9:19 But he is interested in stretching, and what stretches a balloon? Pressure. And pressure is the tool used by the master to9:30 actually increase our capacity to handle more responsibility, thus bringing more value to us as people.9:39 That's great. That's great. He didn't quit. So many times, people quit. When there's pressure today, maybe you don't wanna hear that, but this may be a timely word for you, Don't quit. Don't quit when9:51 there's pressure. Don't quit when you feel like it. Don't quit when your 5 talent that God gave you, this pressure to increase your business or increase your life, change your legacy, change your finances. When you10:03 engage the process, just like when the, Israelites left Egypt, there was pressure. And many of them begged and wanted to go back to Egypt where they were slaves. Don't wanna be slaves. We've been called into10:15 freedom and into a covenant and to liberty. But with that freedom, there is given some requirement. Right? Where much is given, there is a requirement.10:22 Exactly right.10:23 And it's worth it. It's worth it, so don't quit. When you're under pressure, when there's pressure there. And really, the guy with the 1 talent, he really did quit, didn't10:29 Well, we're gonna talk about him in just a When we come back in just a minute, I wanna talk more about the 1 talent guy. I wanna talk more about this process of pressure so that you'll be encouraged by it, not afraid of10:41 it. Yes. When we come right back here on fixing the money thing.10:49 Time to defeat your debt and discover your destiny.10:53 Well, this is your financial revolution.10:56 Friday, January 20 sixth and Saturday, January 20 seventh, Gary will be at Hope of the Generations Church in Thomaston, Georgia to host his groundbreaking financial revolution conference. Don't miss this opportunity11:08 to see firsthand how the kingdom of God can operate in your life.11:13 You will never discover your destiny and your purpose until you fix the money thing.11:19 I love Money Mysteries From the Master because it's actually Jesus giving us the keys. They're ancient truths. They're His Word. Keys to our life, to our finances, to being11:31 blessed, to living a blessed life, a good life. And Gary, so many people don't see that. They don't understand the goodness of God and unlock these mysteries. And on the surface, they can almost seem sometimes like, I11:41 don't get that, Jesus. What were you talking about? When you push a little deeper, there's so many truths there. So we're talking about, the mystery of the assignment11:49 Powerful power.11:50 And the pressure that makes people wanna quit. God doesn't want them to quit. So many people start and stop, start and stop, start their whole life just because pressure comes. And pressure is going to come.12:00 It's going to come.12:01 It's going to come. If you know it, you're ready for it, you can persevere through it to get to12:06 the 10 Pressure is pressure. And that's a good, let's talk about pressure for a minute. Sure. Because pressure can be negative or positive. And if you take the pressure and you internalize it as negative, you become12:16 negative, discouraged, complainer, and you lock yourself in a descending cycle of life. Now, answer to pressure is a plan. So let me say that. The answer to pressure,12:28 in other words, to come out of pressure back, quitting does not alleviate pressure.12:31 No, it doesn't. It just creates another whole thing.12:33 The price of failure is pressure. Right. Pressure that's not good.12:36 Right. Yep. What you're talking about though, think is what people, their pressure becomes stress. There's a difference in pressure and stress. We all have pressure.12:44 It's debilitating.12:45 Stress is when we take it on ourselves to carry it out. We worry about it. We complain about it. We get negative about it. So how does that pressure work for us?12:55 How do12:55 keep it from becoming stressed?12:57 Someone who has an entrepreneurial mindset, let's say, they view pressure as an opportunity. Right. Okay, because wherever there's a problem, there's an opportunity for promotion or creation.13:09 Right? Right. So if you have the wrong mindset of survival, in a survival mindset, you don't want pressure because you wanna stay, you wanna find a quiet place of seclusion just to13:21 kinda live life. But God's not called us to live life that way. We're on the front lines and we are to take territory, but pressure demands an answer. Alright, so I always say frustration is the greeting ground of13:32 change. Pressure demands an answer. You'll either answer it positively, engaging it, or you will back off, and it'll keep pressing you back into a corner. But as a believer,13:44 we don't have to be afraid of pressure because we know that God is with us, as you said, the Spirit of God's in us, and we can then think different in terms of reward. So, if there's pressure, we can win13:56 that battle, and we can take more territory, more responsibility, bigger paychecks, and greater So14:01 pressure's the breeding ground of change. Correct. Makes us make a strategy or change14:07 what we're Yes.14:09 Just like when you shared about David and Goliath, that there is to be a strategy. There's pressure when there's a giant standing before you.14:15 There's pressure.14:16 Mountains standing before you. Jesus said you speak to that mountain. So how Always will be. How we engage the mountain. The mountain's not gonna go away. It just be we're just there, we're facing it. Yeah. Can't walk14:27 away from it.14:27 Takes a plan. Okay, you mentioned David and Goliath. He had a supernatural plan, not the armor of Saul, but the sling caught Goliath off guard. For instance, money. Let's say that you need money, and you would say, Okay,14:39 Gary, I need money. You need a plan. Money is a result Of a plan. Of a plan. It is not a goal in itself, it is the result of a plan. For instance, we use this in14:51 our conferences. If I told you, I could solve your money problems, easy. We could tell you right now on TV, get your pencil ready, make or net, right now, 5000000 dollars over the next 12 months.15:03 For most people, most people, that would take care of their financial problems. But then people are looking at me right now, I can't see you, I know you're looking at me thinking, 5000000? Me? Me? That15:15 the pictures don't match, okay? And that be your problem. Because if you can't see yourself with 5000000, you can't have 5000000. But here's how you see 5000000. It's called a plan. For instance,15:27 if I owned an export company and I told you, Drenda, I'm gonna pay you 1000 dollars and this is just an illustration, not reality. 1000 dollars to wrap this ball in a box, and I'm gonna ship it,15:39 okay? So 1000 dollars, you can do 500 a day. 500 a day, I'm gonna pay you 1000 dollars a box, And I would say to you, Drenda, make 5000000. You would say, what?15:51 Yeah. Okay. I can do it. Absolutely. I'll take the job. Yeah.15:55 I'll take the job. It's a lot. I can make a lot more than that. That's nothing. That's easy.15:59 Unless it's handling radioactive material or something.16:02 But you would say that's easy, easy, easy because it only takes 4 days, no, 4, 5, 10 days at that pay rate to make the 5000000 and you got a whole year.16:11 Right. What changes that? A plan is then changed.16:13 A plan changes. So when you're under pressure, the Holy Spirit is there as your counselor, like David, get that unique strategy. The plan is what you need to16:25 hear. God has the plan. He knows how to handle it, so you engage the plan. Now remember, when Israel came out of Egypt, the Red Sea parted into the deliverance. But16:37 that wasn't the only time the water parted. We think of deliverance as being free from problems, free from pressure. Well, that's true. We have we are delivered, but delivered means we're heading somewhere.16:49 Right. Delivered to something.16:50 Delivered to something, and if you remember at the River Jordan, when they entered the Promised Land, they're in a land of giants and walled cities and the water parted again. River Jordan was at flood stage and17:02 this time, this miracle of the water parting was to actually basically kick Israel into pressure. Once was deliverance from slavery had no options, they were delivered,17:14 but now they're actually being kicked, motivated, moved into pressure on behalf of the kingdom to actually take territory and establish their future. Wow. So, this is the process that we come17:26 through. We're then God begins to move us towards17:30 Trust, really.17:31 A place of destiny And was which has pressure with it. Right. We have to handle that moment at the river of Jordan, if you will. Yes. With the understanding that we're not alone. God would not have led us to this point17:43 if he was gonna leave us, and we are to embrace that opportunity. We may not know how to handle it, but we have God with us, and we're gonna capture it. Right. And that's that's the mystery of17:55 the assignment, is to submit to the pressure, not in fear, but in faith, and let God literally change. I mean, were broke. We were finding quarters to buy Happy Meals for our kids in the cushions of the18:07 couch. But now, you know, we handle millions. What changed? We changed.18:11 We changed. The ability to the capacity to carry the pressure Right. To persevere through the pressure, to trust God in the pressure, to keep going forward in the pressure. The Israelites wandered around in the18:23 wilderness. They had a slave mentality. They'd only thought of slaves. And really, they just performed with their master wanted to So let18:31 me ask you a question. Okay. So you're on a very a major network with a television broadcast, and you had the thought to start a television show, and you thought of doing it on the Internet, and you began18:43 to talk to some people. Tell me what tell us what happened. I wanna use you as an example, how we step into pressure.18:48 Well, I just wanted to share with women opportunities to do things God's way, instead of the world's way. The world's pitching a lot of things to women that I call pitching their wares. And women are getting19:00 lied to in a lot of fronts, in a lot of ways. So I wanted to be able to share what we've learned about family, and marriage, and finances God's way. And I thought, well, I'll do that on the internet, I'll do a program19:11 there. And in the process of going to an event where I shared my testimony several times, I was offered the opportunity to put together a pilot, they wanted it in 2 weeks, on a major network. And wow, I mean, was, I19:22 could have easily said, no way. I had no clue. But because of the spirit of the Lord was stirring this on the inside of me, the desire to help women, the call of God caused me when they asked me to do it,19:34 to say yes. And I said yes before I even knew the pressure of carrying19:39 it out. Okay, pressure. You didn't have a pilot. You didn't have the money to pay for it because it's like 300000 dollars or hundreds of thousands, if I remember, hundreds of thousands dollars19:48 It is expensive.19:49 Air this program, plus produce the program, and you said, 2 weeks I'll have the pilot. And so, you embraced the pressure, and there was pressure then, because I was there with you. Yes,20:01 you embraced me. There was pressure, but that program is still on the air today. And you now, it becomes you handle that responsibility. And it's20:09 impacting a group of people that no one's talking to. You know, it's on a network where they're going for secular entertainment.20:16 Right.20:16 But God is He's very, He's got a strategy. He's sprinkled that in there. So, women that are turning on something that don't know God, don't know His experiences, don't know His word, don't20:27 understand womanhood, don't understand His plan for them, to empower them as women for His kingdom. They don't understand that. So it's a way to get that seed into their heart in a way that only God would do.20:39 So, as we close today, I'd like to be on a national network, or I'd like to own that, I'd like to do that, I wish I had that, I wish, listen, stop that, stop it, stop it. You can dream, but you20:51 gotta understand that God will have to lead you to a strategy that's gonna put And go to garykaseed dot com. A lot of great information there about how to win in life according21:03 to the Word of God, understand the Kingdom. Drend and I would invite you to partner with us to help people understand that they can win. That's why we do the broadcast, to help you understand we're nothing special.21:15 You can win. If we did it, And we'd love to see you on those websites, and we'd love to meet you right here again on Fixing the Money Back.21:23 Yes, and don't bury your talent. God has amazing things for you to do. Just because there pressure today, it doesn't mean you're you're being pressed to go away from it or pressed out of it. You're being pressed into a21:34 different person. So, don't bury your talent like the 1 that didn't do anything, didn't engage the kingdom. Instead, do what God's called you to do today. You can.
