Here is your host Christian entrepreneur Tyler McCarty, with little success as Listen, stomach are coming at you. Episode 206 Right, So I am continuing with this whole our Siri's first steps Financial freedom into the Kingdom of God. And this is actually I did cover this past last episode on 16 Thoughts of Financial Freedom that I got from the article from a gentleman, David Bach great guy, and I wanted to talk to you guys today. I wrote down eight things on these air, probably not going to be in any particular order, but I wanted to talk to you guys about my thoughts or my my view. As of today, as of 42 years young, I'm you know, you guys know my story. If you've listened to me, go back and take a five episode challenge and get caught up with kind of my story and kind of where things were out of my thought process and where I'm at today off. You know, I'm in full time business for myself. I've got a wife and four kids way live in a fully paid for house. We've got money in the bank, you know, we have businesses. We have passed. We have all these things going on her life, and God is blessing. God gets all the glory for all this in her life. And I want to boldly let you guys know about these things because I just want you to hear that. You know what? You can actually have all this to. You could have. You know, all these things that God has promised for us out there in this world. And, you know, if you are listening to this as a success says, Listen, been listening for many years or just a couple of months and you see value with this, I'd ask you to share this. I mean, shared, actually with a friend. Don't just, you know, Yeah, you can go put it posted on your instagram story, or you can post it on your Twitter account. A Facebook account. I'm totally fine with that. But there's something about actually going to a friend of yours going toe someone and actually sending them a text message and having a little intro. Tories are physically talking to that person saying, Hey, look, it's good. And listen to this podcast. I think it's a great podcast. I think it really blessed my life. I think would really help you got you out as well. It share it. That's kind of how the weakened grow and this podcast. Okay, so I'm just gonna shamelessly say that right there. All right? The other thing is you can find all the links in the description You've heard me talk with Robin Hood. App that I'm I'm definitely utilizing that. You can click that link in a free stock for yourself if you want to. You can also go. And if you feel led to partner with me, find that link down there in the patri on account pay. Sharone Page, um, you know, to partner with me if you feel led to do that. But anyway, so I want to talk about financial independence. I want to talk about financial freedom in the Kingdom of God. And I want to kind of reiterate something that I heard this past past week that really kind of, uh I knew this, but it just basically, uh and here's what I knew before I knew that. Jesus. Okay, I knew that Jesus whenever in his earthly ministry, Whenever he was down here, he talked mawr not about love, not about faith, not about heaven. He talked more on the subject of finances and money and managing money that he talked about any other subject. Right? And I was listening to a YouTube clip the other day of a gentleman that is is very, um, whole less water than me and so forth. But he cited this. He said There's over 2350 scriptures about money about how to make money, how to give money, how to buy real estate, how to sell real is and how how have a business, how to stay out of debt, how toe lend their arm, or than 2350 scriptures about money. So God is very And there's a watch this there's about 500 scriptures about, um, love. There's about 500 scriptures about faith. But here, God is all about knowing that you've got to figure this money out. Why is that? I mean, there's a very interesting place in the word. I don't have time to go to it. But, you know, Jesus says that if you can't handle or can't manage the world of mammon or basically, you know, money, then how are you going to handle any other loftier, spiritually blessing or blessing that God has for you? So it is a very important topic for a heavily father because he's watching you and how you manage in how you look it money. All right. I almost want to, you know, go into saying that he see he looks at this and says, Look, you know how you managed money is definitely gonna be an indicator of how much that I really pour out blessings upon your life. Okay? No, this this isn't saying. They're saying that you have to have a $1,000,000 in your bank account or you have to be a multi millionaire in order to, you know, have a blessed life. You can be very, very wealthy very, very rich by having a normal. Yeah. I mean, not normal things like normal, but having an income. All right, that is, you know what's normal, but really still being able to live financially free. Now, I'm not gonna get into all that right now. What I want to say, I'm gonna focus on this right here. Okay? Stay focused on. Let's talk about finding free number one, number four. All right. This is the first thing I wrote down on a white board right here in order to have financial freedom in the kingdom. The first thing you have to do guys is you have to pledge your allegiance. All right? You have to pledge your loyalty to the actual kingdom of God, or the way I wrote it right here is pledge your allegiance to what kingdom? All right, What I mean by that is theirs. Onley two systems only two systems in this world as faras economic systems, there is the world's system of economics or the Babylonian system. You hear me to talk about that multiple ways. And then there is God's system. There's heavens, economy, right? Or gods? You know, financials, economics, kingdom economics you can hear me say that way sometimes. And whoever you pledge yourself to is the one you will serve. All right. So you can either pledge yourself in a majority of people. Majority Christians. I was one of those are raising my hand right now. Little have my hand up. I was one of those people that actually for a long time, all right, for good little while there, I pledged my allegiance, actually to the world system, not knowing any better. And then all of a sudden, I started giving some insight and revelations starting in right around 2002. In my life. No, I mean, I've been going to have been going to church since nine years old, All right? I mean, it's just Well, I got saved when I was nine. I've been going to church, Uh, you know, ever since I was and diapers and here I waas really kind of not knowing how the kingdom works. I was living for the Babylonian system and the office and I began to learn about the truth about the came in 2002 and I probably had one foot in one system, another foot, another system One foot in the Babylonian system, one foot in God's economics or kingdom economics. One foot in the other one, the other one. Okay. Finally, in 2008 2008 the Lord took me on a journey and began to walk me down a path and really help me to renew my mind, Seeing that, I really have got to pledge my allegiance through the kingdom. And that is where I am today, where that I have placed my allegiance to the kingdom where that I'm doing business. I'm doing Ah, marketplace. I'm doing that in light and through the lens off the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom Economics. All right, so to speak. All right, so number two, number two it goes in line with this is you got to begin to understand God's kingdom or God's economic system. That that right there in and of itself, is that's a whole podcast in and of itself, right? There is just actually you actually begin to understand how that economic system works. How that, you know, economy works in the kingdom. Okay. Are you you? It's not the way you know. I can sum it up like this right here, which I get this from a gentleman that I listened to many times, and you can learn a lot from them off Bill Winston. But I remember him saying that God's economy, God's financial system, right, versus the world system versus the Babylonian system. The Babylonian system is all about buying and selling, hoarding what you have and not giving it up. Right. Whereas the Kingdom, the Kingdom Economics Kingdom economics is based upon sewing and a briefing. See, time in horror ist All right. That that is how that is how the Kingdom of God operates. All right, I just summarising that whole entire statement up right there. Number two. Okay, so that's a good little start right there just for you to understand that. Number three. Number three. You've got to change your mind. Said this. Yeah, OK, I'm glad of this. Right here. Number three. This is huge for me. You've got to change your mindset, change your mindset about God's love towards you. How the God is a perfect father. I'm actually going to do an episode and probably my next episode about how that God is a perfect father. God's love for us. I don't believe I've heard people say this one. And I definitely believe this. You cannot exhaust. You cannot exhaust your meditation. You're thinking your pondering your you're just, you know, dwelling on how much God loves you. Because within that love casts out all fear because God is love. And I and I, for myself in 2000 was a $2000.2002 Mr. MCK are That's me. Yours truly right here. I got a huge revelation. Huge revelation, Uh, God's love for me of my perfect father of and really, who my enemy was. But really, how much that God loved me. All right, Number four. Before you got to change your mindset about wealth and riches right there, There is there still, unfortunately a Ah, a mindset that God wants you broke. There's a mind said that God doesn't want you to have things. Okay, which is untrue that God doesn't want you to have money that's so untrue. I mean, if that was the case, then why would God take a job? And when Joe went through all the stuff he went through and most even meets myself, I used to say there. I think God did it to him. But I didn't do it to him for another topic. But if God's against, you know, um, money and increase of things, then if that's the case, then why would God said they're in Give double back to Joe what he had lost? Hello. We've got to change our, you know, our mindset from, you know, you know, having this view. And, you know, people said they're saying, you know, for the for, um, you know, money is the root of all evil. No, it's the love of money. Money is just a tool, All right? Money's is a tool of what we use to do certain things. And we have to his believers. I need to renew our mind to this. We have to renew our mind that Guess what? It's the love of money. God doesn't want you to. Um, God doesn't want you to love things. I mean, I tell my kids they said it actually, at the dinner table just the other night, they said, Oh, we don't We don't love that. We don't love that thing We like. That thing gets exactly right. God doesn't want you toe love anything? We're still called toe love people in life things, but something. Do you have to change your vocabulary with Make sure you're not saying they're saying? Well, I just love that car. No, don't say that because you're seared by the words of your mouth, or I just love my house. I just love, you know, uh, whatever. You know, if it's the thing, don't say you love it. They like it. Got to change your mindset about wealth and riches because God doesn't want the wealth and riches, and you know, the possessions to possess you. He wants you to have possession, or at least Lord over them. Okay. Where? You're the boss of them. All right, Number five. God wants you. God wants you. This is actually an ecclesiastic 11. I'm just stating exactly what is God wants you to create or have multiple streams of income. He says that actually in Ecclesiastes has left. I don't have time to go into right now, but go on reading for yourself. He says you should have seven. No. Yes. Eight different streams of income because you just don't know what a day my bring and how true. Is that all right? I might do a whole episode on having different streams of income. Eso that you guys can hear some different ideas. Right? Number six. Number six. Have a business meeting with God. If you have a business, we have a job. All right, guys. Got got. Got you on assignment at those places. There's nothing wrong with having a job. There's nothing wrong with that at all. Working for somebody else. I used to be against that. I'm not that anyone. My mindset is not that anymore. Because, you know, if you go back and you listen to my episode 203 I believe it was daily. Have a business meeting with God. Basically, I'm talking about you going in, Not with no agenda. Even though you know that you need, You know, you know that you, your company might make you make so many phone calls or you know that you know, you're supposed to call on certain dealerships to help develop your distribution network. Or you know that you're supposed to call eso money prospects or whatever it is. No, no, no, no, no. I'm telling you. Born again. Believer the before you start your put your hand to anything. I want to encourage you to actually have a business meeting with your heavenly father. Could be five minutes. Could be 10 minutes. But go into that business meeting with Lord as a blank slate. Don't go and ask the Lord to go in there and bless your agenda. Or bless your plan. Going there expecting God to give you their plane because it's already gonna be blessed. Let me say that again. Go into the meat, go go into the meeting. Having a plane an agenda and asking God to bless it instead. Going to that, um, meeting to receive your agenda and your plane because it's already blessed. God only knows one language victory. God only knows one way of doing things. Blessing an increase. That's the only thing he knows. So whatever he tells you to do is going to turn out well for you. All right, Number seven don't borrow whatever you do. Whatever. If you can, is I'm not saying they're saying Okay, let me make sure I say this right. Okay. It's not a sin to borrow money. Let me just say that. But it is definitely not the best thing for you. If you can do without borrowing money, that includes I mean, gonna say, including the house. If you could do without that if you if you just If you don't believe if your faith level, which is fine. This is totally fine. If your faith level believes that, I just can't. I can't sit there and believe you know, the God would bless me with the house. I believe he can help me. Well, move finances to help me get a good rate and so forth like that. That's fine. Then you know what I'll say. Do this right here. Soon as you sign those that loan. All right. For your home, my son. Like I'm contradicting myself. But I'm just letting you know, all right, that my opinion, my recommendation is not to borrow any money. Now, once you sign that mortgage, once you sign that whatever loan you start declaring Thank you, Lord, that this loan has been paid off. Thank you, Lord, that I am out of debt that I have them more than enough money to pay this off. Now the money is here. I've got the money to pay for it. It's out. Okay. But I'm telling you guys, it's better to not borrow money. It is the better way to do things because your your servant to that lender. I mean, you're you're a slave to lenders with the Bible, says, and I mean, I can speak from experience. Me, yours truly. Tile in the car. I don't have any debt. Praise cod. I'm not having to worry about Bill collectors or anything like that. Calling me. I usedto have that. I used to experience that, but not anymore. I trust me. It's been many, many years that I've had a bill collector or anything like that. Many, many years. I used to have that. That was no fun. Been there, Done that. Don't want to buy the ticket again. Thank you. Memory. Now wrap up with this one. Okay. You know, in with this one memory, you have to understand God's progression of it like this. Right here, guys. Progression of wealth if you go and you look at, uh is I think Genesis Ah vert after 26. I just read this the other day in my quiet time. Genesis 26 if you skip down the verse 13 of 26. Talking about Isaac. I want you to see this is this is how me this is a man of God and how God this is just in this one verse, it shows how the progression of things happened in Isaac's life. This is just 26 verse 13 and reading the New American Standard version. Okay. And the man Speaking of eyes, it became rich and continue to grow richer until he became very wealthy. Just in that one versus there's three things going on. Number one. There is where he actually became. He actually started out as being rich. Okay, that could be you out of God. Where that you actually got your first job. All right, trust me when you get your first job and you got a car. May your you're you're actually started out. You just became rich. Okay, Now you have to continue to grow richer. That means you continue to understand kingdom finance, understand? Kingdom economics under you know, pledge your allegiance to the kingdom. You have to, you know, change your mindset, um, and understand how much God loves you and how much he loves his Children. You have to change your mindset and get rid of poverty or lack mentality, but have more of an abundance wealth mentality. You need to actually start learning and growing into how to create multiple streams of income you need toe have on a daily basis. The rial work that you have to do the real work on a daily basis is actually have a meeting with the rally, Father. Because once you have a meeting with the evident father, everything else flows from that. The real work, the real work is where you have to get yourself as a blank slate and say, Lord, what is it you want me to today? I don't have any agenda I got. I know things I gotta do. Father, I don't mind my concert. What is it that you want to do today and number seven, You got to renew your mind, not borrow. Don't be the don't be the borrower. You know, you could be the lender, but not the bar over. Okay, because this is growing until you become very wealthy. That's what it says that God has a progression. He's not just gonna throw a $1,000,000 into your bank account just because you pray and ask for it. All right. But he can over time, over time, as you as you show yourself responsible as you gain mawr and more understanding. Because trust me, if you don't understand how it will handle it, God ain't going to give it to you. That's a good statement right there. If you don't understand how toe handle it, God is not going to give you, just not it. You'd be violating his work. You would be so successes community. I love you guys, you know that. All right, So here's the deal. All right, Um, if you like for me to come to speak to your, um your audience or to your organization would have a success seminar or have a wealth building seminar or whatever it is about the kingdom, let me know we can set up a zoom call. I've got one I'm working on right now, which I'm excited about, but let me know how I can impact your, um, you know, organization and speak the organization and ah, and also Hey, if you feel led to partner with me on this journey of you know, the success as podcast.
