0:00 Let's return for more of Gary and Drenda's favorites. Now on Mixing the Money Thing.0:06 When your heart can be trusted to beat for God's heart, with his heart, for his passion, you have qualified yourself for his treasure. Now we all come out0:18 of the earth cursed system where self preservation is the name of the game, so God has to train us and teach us in life to be trusted. How does he do that? He does it through natural things. He trains us through our job,0:29 putting us under submission to people. And see how we handle that. We begin we have to submit. You know, marriage is nothing but dying to yourself. Working under an employer is dying to yourself.0:41 Moms having babies, as you know, is dying to yourself. You know, God's got to conform you to the ability to die to yourself and allow God's character and his passion to become your passion.0:54 So he's going to train you how to die to yourself in other places before he can trust you to die to yourself in the midst of a conflict. Oh, I know, it's exciting stuff. It1:05 is exciting stuff, because in the end they always get the girl and the guy or whatever and the money and the, know, all the stuff. So hang on. The story's not finished. Do you qualify for God's secret money? I want a1:17 prosper pastor. Fantastic. Wonderful. So glad. But you know, there's things you have to do. Things you have to do to prosper. So Isaiah1:29 chapter 45 verse 3, God says, I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places. I love Matthew 22 14, for many are called,1:40 but few are chosen. Are you chosen? Can God trust you with His heart, His assignment? Can he1:52 trust you to be wading into a situation where there's temptation? You could be tempted to fall into adultery or to worship money or2:04 whatever it is? Can he trust you in the midst of that thing that you'll not bend and bow and change, but you will stay steadfast? A deacon must first be2:16 tested. If nothing found against him, let him serve. But test always comes first. Amen. Exodus chapter2:27 13 verse 17. Exodus chapter 13 verse 17. When Pharaoh let the people go, speaking of Israel coming out2:39 of Egypt, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was the short route. For God said if they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.2:51 So God led the people around say the long way. I know you don't want to hear that 1, do you? The long way by the desert where3:03 there's nothing. The long way and the nothing way. There's just a cloud and the fire. Just you and God.3:15 We call that the wilderness. Toward the Red Sea, towards an impossible training situation. So notice, it goes on and3:27 says this. The Israelites went up out of Egypt armed for battle. They were all dressed up for battle, but they didn't have anywhere to go. They didn't have a clue. It's funny, isn't it? These guys were slaves.3:39 They're dressed in battle attire. They must have got from the Egyptians, I suppose. And they're heading out to capture the promise of God that God gave them. I'm leading you to a land3:51 flowing with milk and honey. Yay, praise God. Pastor talks about prosperity. It's just awesome stuff. They get all dressed up, but they don't have3:59 a3:59 clue. They've never been in battle before. They're going to face walled cities, people the size of Goliath, chariots by the hundreds. They don't have a clue. So4:11 God, even though they have the promise, they've been delivered, They're not ready. So God takes them on the long route to4:23 prepare them. I'm speaking to some of you guys right now. I know that. You're on that long route right now. And you've gotten a little fed up about it because you don't understand it. You don't have to understand it.4:33 That's part of the test. See, being under submission and authority means you don't have to understand it, you simply submit to what God says. So they're taking a long way around4:46 thinking they're gonna see a land flowing of milk and honey, and they see desert. Nothing. It's gonna challenge everything they thought was gonna happen. But God is still4:58 leading them. Amen? He's leading them. He's training them. He's got to train them. And so they've never been at war before. So God leads them to a training situation. Now5:10 God leads you to training situations that are not part of your destiny. For instance, their destiny was to confront the Canaanites, the walled cities, the giants, and take the5:21 territory. They weren't ready for that. But they were ready for a training experience. God takes you someplace that's not part of your destiny, not part of where you thought you were going. To the Red5:33 Sea, militarily, that was a setup, that's a bad move. They're now hemmed in by mountains, there's no way out of that. They're just the sea, they can't even cross it to get to their promise. It looks now impossible for5:44 you to get to your point. Why am I working down here at McDonald's? I mean, thought I was supposed to what am I? There's no way I can go from here to there. Stop grumbling. Stop complaining.5:56 God knows where you're at. Just relax. The 1 that called is able to lead and get you where you're supposed to be. All right? Just relax. Do you6:08 understand what I'm saying? He leads you someplace that if you fail, it will not mess up your destiny. You're going to fail. You're going make mistakes. He's going lead you to places where you're going to stumble, you're6:19 going to fall, you're going to be corrected, you're going to choose to continue to move on, you're going to submit. And it's not part of your ultimate occupational place where you're going be called occupy. It's at the6:31 Red Sea, where God's going to demonstrate himself. He's going to teach you he's faithful. He's going to teach you that you can do the impossible. He's going to train you to trust him. God doesn't reveal to you where to6:43 serve or where your assignment is until you're tested. And because it's a test, he doesn't reveal what you're being tested about. As I said, you're tested in an isolated6:55 place that's distant from your occupation that you'll have your ability or your destiny. It's in your ability to be submitted. It's in your ability to be faithful, to get up on time, to go to work, to earn money, to be7:07 faithful in someone else's occupation, someone else's business. To be tested so you can be faithful under God's direction. See, sometimes you gotta face things that don't make any sense. God's gotta train you to7:19 face things that don't make any sense. He's gotta prepare you to be trustworthy. Trustworthy. Hi, I'm Gary Kasey, and you will never fulfill your destiny until you7:30 fix your money thing.
