The Power of Rest 0:01 The power of rest today on Fixing the Money Thing.0:07 Welcome to a special edition of Fixing the Money Thing. I'm Gary Kasi.0:11 And I'm Drenda. We're glad you joined us today. As you can tell, we are at the ocean. It's sunny, and it's beautiful.0:18 We're not in the office.1:01 The power of rest.1:05 Today, we're talking about resting. And, you know, let me ask you a question right off the top. What's your idea of rest? The reason we came to the ocean is because we love the ocean, and I think I think most people tend1:17 to think of the ocean as a relaxing place.1:19 Yes. Rest your soul. You could feel it in all your senses. Sound. Yes. Experience. That is1:25 The fishing, the just the sand and the sunshine is a great escape from the hustle and the bustle of life. Yes. It's rest. And today on Fixing Money Thing, we're gonna talk about1:37 the power of rest, and we're gonna talk about how that happens to the kingdom of God and how it changed our lives and changed your life as well. So today, you're thinking that rest is just not1:49 possible. You know? My life doesn't look like the beach right now. Well, then I have a word for you. It's in the word of God. There is rest for you. It's even called the Sabbath rest. Brenda, you know, we talk about2:01 the Sabbath. We all grew up with the Sabbath. I think when I grew up, of course, even the gas stations were closed on Sunday. Mhmm. Do you remember that?2:09 Oh, yes. You could you could just there would be nothing. Everything was still, and people went to church, and they rested at home. Things have kinda changed now. And it seems like with all the hustle, the bustle, the2:19 stress, people are struggling to find a place to truly find any rest, any recovery for their soul, any just a place to get away.2:28 Right. Right. So when I grew up, again, all the stores were closed, gas stations were closed. And you I mean, I like to hunt. You know that probably about me. You couldn't even hunt on Sundays. It was a day of rest.2:40 You went to church, and it was called the Sabbath. And we find the Sabbath rest in the Bible. Today, I wanna talk about the Sabbath rest in a way maybe you've never heard before. We find the term2:51 Sabbath rest in the New Testament. You may have thought, well, that sounds Old Testament being Sabbath rest. But actually, it's in the new testament in Hebrews chapter 4. Let me read this to you3:03 out of verse number 9. It says this, pay close attention. There remains then a Sabbath rest for the people of god, for anyone who enters God's rest,3:15 rest also from his own word. So note that, anyone who enters God's rest, rests from from his own work. So it goes on and explains how to enter3:27 that rest, but let's talk about what that's talking about. Enter god's rest. What is that referring to? We have to go back to Genesis to find that out. The Bible says in Genesis chapter 2 verse number 13:39 that when God created the earth, of course, in 6 days, man was created at the end of the sixth day. He was going to live in the seventh day with God. Why was man3:51 made at the end of the sixth day was because everything was finished. Everything was there for man to live on the earth with everything he would need to live in that place of rest.4:03 So it says in the second chapter of Genesis, referring to creation, thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day, God had finished the work4:15 he'd been doing. So on the seventh day, he rested. He was not tired. Please make a note of that, Durin. He wasn't tired. Okay.4:22 You know,4:23 people ask me, well, God got tired. He didn't get tired. He rested because he was Finished. Finished. Everything was completed. Complete4:31 it. Yes.4:31 Alright. So now think of Hebrews chapter 4 verse number 6. It says, if we enter into God's rest, this is referring back to Genesis chapter 2 when the Bible4:43 says everything was complete, everything was finished, and man was then created to live in the seventh day with everything complete and finished. Hebrews chapter 4 is telling us, Drenda, that there is a place we4:55 can get back to where we capture back that place of provision that god had once given Adam. Everything that Adam lost has now been refound, if you5:07 will, recaptured back for our good, that we can find rest. And in so doing, we're able to find our purpose and5:18 God's assignment for our life, whereas most people live life in survival mode trying to live week by week, hand to mouth, just existing.5:32 Just nudge your neighbor and say you've got to understand this. You have to. You need to. You need to. It will change your life. Oh, pastor, how do you know that? It would change mine. 9 years,5:45 panic attacks, Judgments, liens, IRS liens, living on a pawnshop. But I'm a millionaire today.5:57 I know what you're thinking. No. I was already out of debt before I started this church. You gotta deal with this religious stuff first, you know? I didn't start this church to make money. I started this church to help6:08 you. I was already out of debt. So when I say I want you to have this, I want you6:18 to get this. Because you need to6:20 be asking questions. How did that happen? For a Hebrews chapter 4, for a6:49 Ladies, I read that, I'm thinking ladies are going, that's not No, that's just he made a decision7:23 your food from the earth. So painful toil and that was left after Adam lost God's for you. And God said, I know that. You're7:35 tying my7:51 the immediate response would be painful, toil, and that's how you calculated it. If you're looking at a bigger house, you calculate it. Do I have enough painful, toil, and sweat?8:03 You calculate how much more painful, toil, and sweat can I add to the situation to bring the provision that I need? Is that right? People are tired of running. Matthew chapter 6, Jesus, the unbeliever,8:14 people that don't know God's system of doing, pain, toil and sweat after the things8:20 of life. And they also said the things of life. And they also said the things of life. And they also said the things of life. And they also said the things of life. And they also8:20 said the things of life. And9:46 picture in your mind to be ingrained in your mind. A comparison, Jesus is demonstrating the and and and and and sweat. Nothing10:02 Fitch. Peter, James and John were so asthenished, that they left the business and followed Jada.10:16 22 ton piece of metal and I said, this is gonna float in air. And you knew nothing about the wall of lift, you would say, right. I wasn't born yesterday, dude.10:29 I'm not invested in that scheme. And you'd because it can float 22 tons in air, float, in air, 40000 feet in the air.10:43 Can float there. Why? Because it's tapping into a new law. Everyone say a new law. It doesn't cancel the law of gravity. You're pretty comfortable with that. I see you sitting there. You're not nervous10:55 about floating off your11:11 the law of sin and death. There's another kingdom, another way of operation that you need to learn.11:20 And then11:22 How do I tap into the double11:25 How do I how do I11:27 make that work in my life? I'm glad you asked. Let's dig into it. Mark Chapter 6, verse 35. By this time, it was late in the day.12:00 Me and say, Pastor, we're having trouble paying our mortgage payment, I would say to you, that's easy. Just pay it off. You're a pro. Right?12:11 And you would do what? Tilt? Like, you didn't understand what I just said, did you? I said, no, I understood what you said. Pay it off. You won't have a payment.12:34 Is only tied to labor, painful toil and sweat. So they immediately calculate that ain't possible. That's they just and that's the same thing you do. That's why Romans13:03 you have? Go and see, they found out. They said 5 and 2 So if we're standing together, you'd say, oh, I got 5 bucks. I got 5 bucks in 2 quarters.13:28 Want to focus on verse 42. It says, they all ate and were satisfied. Underline that word, 'satisfied.' And the disciples picked up 12 basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and and and and13:40 and they're13:53 with.14:41 Nothing be wasted. Now, I don't have time to get into it, but this let nothing be wasted phrase, this is deep stuff. We're going to talk about this another day.16:16 They're trying to find a spot to sit down, not pick up. Here's a phrase you gotta write this down. You must see past satisfied to ever tap into the double16:28 portion. Now, this is very important, very important. Understood. God never supplies never ever ever ever satisfied.16:40 The kingdom of God doesn't operate that way. Never.16:59 Have God show you the fragments. You need to know where to harvest, what to harvest, what it looks like, when to harvest. You've got to have You're not called of God to be a popper. You are called to17:11 rule and reign in life through Jesus Christ. You are, you are the astonishment. And17:26 You are to live in a the picture that people are looking for. They're running to and fro, running, running, running, and all of a sudden, a light shines. It's your life. And you go, what? How did17:59 kind of people's lives. But as I said, it's just chapter 16. Nevertheless,18:05 some18:05 of the people went out on the seventh day to gather the minimum. Or they, for whatever reason, didn't18:17 gather the double portion. Now, we're going to jump into this, but I'm just going to leave you with18:20 this tidbit. This will go over well with18:20 the internet This will go over well with the internet crowd, really. Take notes. 1 of the greatest When they couldn't gather. They didn't they went out there trying to gather in the seventh18:32 day and didn't find any. Any. That's why I said Then the Lord said to Moses, how long will you refuse to keep my commandments and my -And my -And my -And the Lord has given you the Sabbath. That is why on18:44 the sixth day he gives you -Right.18:45 -And the Lord has given you the Sabbath. That is why on the sixth day he gives you -Right.18:46 -And the Lord19:15 Guys, I gave you the double portion. What are you doing out here? As I said, I believe A large majority of the church world don't get19:31 longer. Get my body Grace to work 23 hours a day. God, please. That is not going to get it done. You got to tap into the kingdom. To find the rest,19:44 the options, the freedom that God has for you. But I just think that's pretty interesting. He's actually upset at them for not gathering the double portion. He wants you to have it.19:57 He wants you to have it. He's provided it for you. He wants you to have it. You need it. He wants you to have it. There's things to get done. You got things to do besides paying your bills. I mean, paying bills are good.20:07 Don't misunderstand. I'm saying I'm just saying there's bigger fish to fry than just buying a car. Lives at stake. There's things to get done in the earth. There's assignments and purposes that20:19 will require more than you just pay, just to survive. And there's And there's And there's And there's And20:23 there's and there's and there's and there's20:24 and there's and there's20:24 and there's20:48 And you have to pray it out, of course, but I'm saying this is the year to do, to capture, to harvest, and to step in there and to have what God says,21:11 There are 24 hours in a day, 525600 minutes in a year. But when do you find time to rest?21:21 See, you can only rest if everything's taken care of. And there's a concept in the Bible, which we call the power of rest, that the New Testament talks about in Hebrews chapter 4 verse 9 that says, there remains21:33 a Sabbath rest for the people of God. New testament says there's a Sabbath rest for new testament people. And it's not talking about what day is21:45 Sunday or Saturday or the the Sabbath. It's talking about what happened on the Sabbath or I should say what didn't happen. What couldn't happen is they were not allowed to work on the Sabbath and yet their needs were21:57 well taken care of. In fact, they had the Sabbath year, the year of Jubilee and all of those instances, they were not allowed to work yet they had an abundance of provision.22:07 Your abundance, your double portion is in the Sabbath rest. Gary Kasi's timeless message shows you the spiritual principles necessary to discover your much needed respite from the22:19 rush of day to day life.

Your destiny awaits. You weren't meant to work in painful toil and sweat23:00 all 525600 minutes of the year. You were meant to prosper through kingdom provision working in your life.23:10 And God has put it in our spirit that we have to get this out there because people23:15 need to know what the Sabbath rest is. God wants you to find rest in purpose and passion. Not trying to get to Friday night and try to find vacation, but he wants you to look forward to Mondays.23:26 And that's possible, friend.

Look forward to Monday, and don't24:05 waste a single minute.24:07 I believe this. Once you have 1 experience with the kingdom, it changes your life forever.24:13 Number 1, realize that the Sabbath rest is legally yours as in kingdom. The Sabbath rest refers back to the rest God had after he had completed everything. We talked about this earlier. And so everything was complete.24:25 Man was designed to live in the sixth day. Adam lost the sixth day. That's where we lived at. The man has always lived in that place. If it's going to be, it's up to me. And run, how fast can24:37 I run?24:38 Striving.24:38 Everything is striving. And that's what we wanna talk about24:41 Yes.24:41 And make sure people understand is that Sabbath rest, that more than enough is available to them.24:46 Yes. Yes. You don't have to live in lack, and you don't have to live in stress and strife.24:50 So there's a major key there in that the double portion or the overflow, if you will, the Sabbath rest is not obvious. It is hidden. And it's hidden for a reason, and that25:02 is that our adversary, Satan, would also pick up on those fragments25:06 Right.25:06 And either steal them, misuse them, or Mhmm. You know, continue to hide them or cause conflict around them. So he's gonna get involved with that, and so they're hidden. This is a major key.25:18 How do I find the 12 baskets? Revelation by the Holy Spirit showing us satisfied, the past satisfied is the Sabbath rest.25:30 In our book, Your Financial Revolution, The Power of Rest, I go into great detail explaining how I tap into, how you would tap into this double portion, this power of25:41 rest. How do we look past satisfied and pick up these unique strategies by the Holy Spirit to actually capture25:48 more25:49 than enough? And it's all right here in the Bible.
