0:00 I'm Gary Kasid. For 9 years, I had debt I couldn't pay, which brought on panic attacks, antidepressants until the kingdom of God drastically changed my life. Now I wanna help0:11 you fix the money thing.0:14 This is Gary Kasey. Fixing the money thing. And now, the 8 steps leading to disloyalty on fixing the money thing with0:26 Gary Kasey.0:28 So how does disloyalty start? I I believe no 1 really plans to destroy their life, right? No 1 really plans to be disloyal. In fact, a lot of people, maybe0:39 most people, don't even know they're being disloyal. But we need to find out because this is how Satan operates, underground, undercover, with deception. So we need to find out the pathway to disloyalty,0:51 understand God has a pathway for loyalty. The pathway of disloyalty has a bad ending, the pathway of loyalty has a great ending, and we need to understand how they both operate. So today we're gonna talk about the1:02 pathway to disloyalty. You need to understand how it starts, how it ends, alright? Number 1, you make a list. Number 1, it starts with an independent spirit. Now all of us are individuals. We1:14 all have creativity, we all have ideas, that's great. But an independent spirit begins to operate outside of the 1 that they're under in authority. They began to1:26 kind of just twist things a little bit, began to add to the instructions, but decide to procrastinate maybe, or I have a better idea. These people don't mean1:37 harm, but an independent spirit wants to be in control, wants to have the latest gossip, wants to posture themselves as in the know. This is an independent1:49 spirit And you can't let that continue without mentoring that person because it doesn't stay that way. How can you recognize an independent spirit, give them something to do they don't want to do?2:02 They'll start bucking it, changing it, better idea, whatever. You can always, it'll show itself. All right, now what happens you try to correct an independent spirit?2:15 What happens? Not always, we pray not, but offense. Now that's their choice. That's their choice, but correction typically many times2:26 brings an offense and that person actually leaves. If they leave, quit the job, they're 1 of the ones you'll hear, I've had 50 jobs in 2 years. No, this is how, the2:38 door keeps going. I mean it just rotates, rotates, rotates. And so, as a pastor, we want you to win in life and live the good life. So you need to understand how these things operate. So, number 2 on your list,2:50 offense. Matthew 24 10 says, and then shall many be offended and shall betray 1 another and shall hate 1 another. Listen, offended people betray and they3:02 foster hatred and division. Offended people are dangerous, friend, dangerous. Offended people do not receive correction. The Bible says3:14 a righteous person invites correction. Now offended people very quickly move to what number 3 is, the passive stage. They move from the front row to the middle of the rows, to the end row, to the3:26 golf course. I can always tell if someone always sits in the same seat and now they're moving back, okay, what's going on? Know, then I see what happens. They disconnect from dream teams,3:38 they get off all the teams, they stop serving, they stop being involved. I know something's happening, right? The passive stage, people become uninvolved. We have to ask as a pastor, we have to ask why3:49 because people that love god are involved. People that love god are involved. I'm involved, I love my wife, I'm involved, I'm not passive. There's4:01 evidence of my love for her, I'm not passive. When you love God, there is activity. You're going to have a heart to be involved, not gonna have to be legally forced to be involved. You're gonna want to be involved.4:13 Jeremiah 4eight 10 says this, a curse on the man who is lax in doing the Lord's work. A curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed. Meaning when you're in a battle and you're not participating in4:25 the battle, you're not on the team. And the Bible says you're not gonna have the blessing of God on your life. So you wanna walk in blessing? Stay involved. Staying involved4:37 is healthy spiritually, but stay involved. A passive person moves very quickly now to the critical stage, which is number 4. They've4:49 disconnected, they have a critical mindset, everything's now being filtered through this critical picture they have, and they become critical. Now this critical stage,5:01 again, now moves quickly into what we call number 5, the political stage. The political stage is now they're going to get a crowd around them that5:12 agrees to justify their attitudes, their lack of being involved. They're going to get people around them that agree with them. 1 of the greatest stories in the Bible, not great at5:24 what happened, but a great story is the story of Absalom in the Bible. Very famous story. King David had son Absalom, he had a son Amnon. Absalom5:36 and Amnon were of 2 different wives, 2 different women. Absalom had a sister named Tamar. Amnon, her half brother5:48 raped her. Absalom, her full brother was furious about this, and King David did nothing about Amnon. So6:00 Absalom put a plot in place to kill Ammon, which he did. He then fled Jerusalem for 3 years, and then he came back after I think 2 more years, he came back to Jerusalem, but6:12 secretly he had no respect for David. He was offended. Now I'm not saying his offense was not, in this case, maybe justified somewhat, but it's a great picture of what offense looks like, how it operates6:23 in second Samuel chapter 15. So I wanna turn there quickly and take a look at it. Verse number 1. Now again, this is when Absalom comes back. He's been estranged from6:35 David. He's been out of Jerusalem now for 5 years. He comes back and now he is in the area. In the course of time, Absalom provided himself with a chariot and horses and6:47 with 50 men to run ahead of him, he would get up early and stand by the side of the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone came with a complaint to be placed before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out6:58 to him, what town are you from? He would answer, your servant is from 1 of the tribes of Israel. Then Absalom would say to him, look, your claims are valid and proper, but there is no representative7:09 of the king to hear you. And Absalom would add, if only I were appointed judge in the land, then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and I would see that he gets justice. That is7:21 how it works, friend. Absalom was not in the palace. He was not even in the city. He was outside the city. This is how it happens, it happens7:33 behind the scenes, it's not open yet. From my experience, it happens to, it preys on the babies, it happens on the immature, these people that want to get a crowd, they7:45 work with these people. And you need to watch that. This leads to number 6, the deception stage. Now you know that when someone's deceived, what do we7:57 say about people that are deceived, pal? What do they say? They don't know they're deceived, because they're deceived. Now at this point, along this8:08 pathway, there's hope. You know, if we bring correction, we bring truth, there's some hope that we can get these people turned around, but in the deception stage, they're already hooked8:20 into that lie. It's hard to get them out of that stage. The deception stage is I'm greater than my teacher. You know, I don't,8:32 don't, there's nothing you can tell me. I don't respect you, there's nothing that, you know, I can tell you what's wrong with you, but I can't receive from you.8:45 Ezekiel 2eight 14 says this, speaking of Lucifer, you are anointed as a guardian cherub for so I ordained you. You remember Lucifer's story,8:57 right? Got filled with pride, but he forgot where he came from. You see, God is the 1 that made him that way. Not his rebellion,9:08 made him with the talents and giftings that he was so proud of. You know, it's interesting that, you know, we all are different and God made us different. God made us different. Why should we have pride about our9:19 giftings and our spiritual giftings? Because we didn't do them. I mean, God gave them to us, right? For a purpose. But Satan, we call Lucifer Satan, forgot9:31 where he came from. And so many people don't realize that they're not an island. They didn't make the journey up themselves. There are many people, and many people that invest in their life for them to be9:43 where they're at, but they have forgotten. The deception stage now leads into number 7, open rebellion. I remember when I told my staff9:55 back in the day when I was called to preach, and God told me to launch a church here in New Albany. Of course, I had my company. I called my managers together and say, look guys, God called me to launch a church here,10:05 kinda told them what was happening. The next Monday I came into the office. My key manager's office was next to mine, but this particular Monday I was10:17 shocked, he wasn't in his office, he was in my office with his legs, his feet up on my desk. And when I walked in, he didn't take his legs down from my desk.10:29 And he said, you know, you're gonna pastor church, it's a great thing, but you can't do both. So here's really how I see it. You got 3 choices. You can give me the10:40 company, or you can give the company to all the employees, or you can just close it down. That's pretty open. But10:52 no, it's my company and I say, to all 3. Not happening. Of course that person left. After open rebellion, this is11:04 something you need to remember, I call it number 8, the execution stage. All rebels die in the end. Because who do they attract, friend?11:16 Do they attract loyal people? Now usually, they attract rebels. And rebels will turn on them just as they turned on their leader. And you're gonna find out that's how it works, that11:28 the rebels always die in the end. When Absalom began to lead his charge to take over the kingdom, David's men went out to fight against Absalom, had to fight against his own son.11:41 And Absalom was riding his mule in the battle, and he ran under a tree, and the tree caught his hair, and the mule kept going, and he's now hanging in the air. And11:53 he died in that battle. Rebels always die in the end. They may not die a physical death, but they're going to have trouble because they track the wrong kind of people,12:04 and you can't build with disloyal people. So listen, the pathway to disloyalty is very subtle and you have to be aware of it. It's why I covered it today so you'll be, you know, keen to what12:16 Satan is trying to do. You'll be aware of what Satan wants. He wants to get you off track on the wrong pathway. God's pathway always has great reward.
