How Does Finance Work Spiritually?
On this episode of The Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Darrell Puckett talk about how finances work spiritually.
Biblical finance is one of the most misunderstood topics in the Church. Some pastors are accused of talking about it too much, while others fear to talk about it at all. What is the truth? What is God’s heart for your finances? Rabbi Curt shares wisdom and outlines biblical principles to provide clarity in this area.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,280
Hey everyone, you're listening to the Curt Landry podcast where we're going to help you
2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,040
discover your kingdom destiny.
3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:15,600
My name is Darrell and sitting right beside me is Rabbi Curt Landry.
4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,480
And in this episode, we're discussing how does finance work spiritually.
5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,600
But before we jump into this one, Rabbi, how was yesterday?
6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,200
How was the weekend for you getting going?
7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,600
Hey, it's going great.
8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,520
Listen, we're going to talk about probably one of my favorite subjects.
9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,200
We're going to talk about money and finance.
10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,880
And I've always been very open.
11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:48,080
I've had, you know, when I get with religious people, oh, you talk too much about money
12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,520
and you shouldn't.
13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,520
I don't like money.
14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,320
And I always just tell them, listen, if you don't like it, you can give it to me.
15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,720
I do like it.
16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,640
And you got to realize I'm a humanitarian aid person.
17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,480
So I've been doing humanitarian aid for 33 years.
18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:10,760
And it takes literally our ministry has been involved in, I think, close to like $30 million
19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,040
of humanitarian aid.
20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,080
So yeah, I do like money.
21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,840
And I don't love money.
22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,520
The root of all evil is money.
23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:21,520
Money is neutral.
24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,160
It's just a tool.
25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,240
And the thing of it is you're either going to align your life to have a good relationship
26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,800
with it.
27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,080
And you know, the apostle Paul said it this way, I've, I've abound with little and I've
28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,080
abound with much.
29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,200
Well, that's my story.
30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,760
I have been completely broke.
31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:43,000
I'm talking having to borrow money from the parents and the neighbors for food and to
32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,920
having abundance.
33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:54,320
And so anyway, I feel I'm not really an expert at a lot of things.
34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:00,800
But as far as releasing blessings through tithes and offering and biblical finance,
35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:06,560
I feel like the ministry just because of the impact of the humanitarian aid, I feel like
36
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,320
we have, I don't want to say expert, but we have experience in a testimony that proves
37
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,560
that, you know, one of the things that being a goodwill ambassador to the nation of Israel
38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:30,800
literally recognized is that the biggest weapon I can do to battle anti-Semitism and boycotts
39
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:38,600
and sanctions against Israel is by the scripture says by doing good, putting the foolish talk
40
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,760
of foolish men to not.
41
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,840
And if you're going to do good, you have to do good with out of the abundance of your
42
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,840
life.
43
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,640
And so if you're going, if you're just have a life just to pay your bills, you really
44
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:52,520
can't participate in the abundance.
45
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,180
So I want to talk about, I'm going to talk about two principles today that will help
46
00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:08,280
you have more abundance so that you can give here's listen, I love giving and I'm honored
47
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:16,000
that I get phone calls and from Israel and they say, and Kenya and different places and
48
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,040
they ask for help and we're able to say yes.
49
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,360
And they cry on the phone.
50
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,360
Thank you so much.
51
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,360
You're helping these orphans.
52
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,960
You know, we just recently helped 500 orphans.
53
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,960
You know, I was an orphan.
54
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:34,920
That's how I started in my life and the fact that I can have it's money, you know, I think,
55
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,000
I think people need to have a spiritual balance.
56
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,880
You know, you can order, I did a workbook on it.
57
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,920
You can order the workbook on releasing the blessings through ties and offering understanding
58
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,440
biblical principles of finance.
59
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,120
I would go through that workbook.
60
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,440
I go through it every year just to kind of sharpen my pencil.
61
00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:00,400
But money used for good is a very good thing.
62
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,840
So let's break down those two principles.
63
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,800
But you know, the question I want you to kind of focus around and well, I guess let's say
64
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,800
this first.
65
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:17,040
We, we have an excellent workbook, an excellent book on times and offerings that you've done
66
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,200
a lot of preaching, a lot of biblical finance teaching on.
67
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:27,280
You know, we've created a three part series and incorporate a lot of it into the master
68
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:35,360
class, you know, just kind of little sprinkles of, of this teaching and of this resource
69
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,440
into the emotional healing a little bit.
70
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,080
But we've done a lot of, a lot of content and a lot of excellent content, I think with
71
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,480
a lot of resources with it.
72
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,680
You know, for anyone listening that wants to purchase this workbook, you can obviously
73
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,200
just find it on curtlandry.com, but we'll put the short link in the description and
74
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,760
the show notes of this episode.
75
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,240
So Rabbi, let's focus around this question.
76
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,160
And that is how does finance work spiritually around those two points that you've got prepared
77
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,160
for us?
78
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,160
Yeah.
79
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,160
Okay.
80
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:18,720
And, and I really, I kind of want to drill down deep into this because if I had two principles
81
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:29,320
that I live by, I mean, it's just like, these are so deep rooted in my family, in my children.
82
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:35,360
It's this is something my spiritual children get this.
83
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,520
And the first one is Matthew 6 33 and 34.
84
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,340
And it says, but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
85
00:05:45,340 --> 00:05:56,000
So you, you've got to have a mental conscious and unconscious thought of what is first in
86
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,560
God's kingdom.
87
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,780
You have to mentally put it first.
88
00:06:00,780 --> 00:06:06,340
You have to, it's like when you knee jerk and something happens, you have to go into
89
00:06:06,340 --> 00:06:07,340
the kingdom.
90
00:06:07,340 --> 00:06:08,340
Okay.
91
00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:09,960
But then it says in his righteousness.
92
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:16,720
So it's not enough just to seek the righteousness, I mean the kingdom, but you have to seek,
93
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,600
seek how do I live?
94
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,200
Righteousness means I'm in proper alignment.
95
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,600
I'm doing it God's way.
96
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,600
Okay.
97
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,240
So that, though that right there is, is very important.
98
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,460
But here's the guarantee.
99
00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:34,400
The guarantee in the covenant is if you seek first the kingdom and you live rightly, all
100
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,540
things will be added onto you, all things.
101
00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:46,020
So that's your rent, your mortgage, your doctor bill, your anything and every food, everything.
102
00:06:46,020 --> 00:06:54,520
And then it says, if you'll just perfect in your mind, a kingdom first mindset and understand
103
00:06:54,520 --> 00:07:00,960
the instruction of the Bible for righteousness, therefore do not worry about tomorrow.
104
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,940
Worry.
105
00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:09,420
So here's the thing is if you lack of finance causes more divorce, more sickness and more
106
00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:13,500
disease than probably anything else because people don't have enough money.
107
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,740
That's why I hate lack.
108
00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:17,020
I hate poverty.
109
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:18,020
I lived in it.
110
00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:20,860
I was raised in a lower middle-class family.
111
00:07:20,860 --> 00:07:25,240
I worked since I was, I had a social security number at 11.
112
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,200
I worked 40 hours a week since I was 15 years old.
113
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:36,860
So I mean, I get it, but I can tell you being at the place now where I order off the left
114
00:07:36,860 --> 00:07:45,380
side of the menu, not the right side is much better than having to worry about the finance.
115
00:07:45,380 --> 00:07:51,060
So what the word says, if you'll, if you'll have a kingdom mindset and live righteously,
116
00:07:51,060 --> 00:07:55,940
then you don't have to worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about its own thing
117
00:07:55,940 --> 00:07:59,380
sufficient for its day of trouble.
118
00:07:59,380 --> 00:08:01,940
So that's, that's really a mindset.
119
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:08,180
The whole reason I have done goals to grow when I get on the line and, and, and, and
120
00:08:08,180 --> 00:08:14,180
I'm inspired from my home office and I go into the studio and film from there, the,
121
00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:20,100
these podcasts, if I could lay hands on you right now and just give you two things, I
122
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:28,740
would say a mindset to trust God in his kingdom and a hunger to be a student, to live righteously.
123
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:35,320
And I'm not talking about like weird holiness, like how you wear your hair or you dress.
124
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:41,160
I'm talking about understanding biblical alignment.
125
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:52,300
So how do, how often do you think people mistake in the true biblical alignment when it comes
126
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:53,640
to finances?
127
00:08:53,640 --> 00:09:02,020
Because you know, I mean, the difference in tithes and offerings and people's lack of
128
00:09:02,020 --> 00:09:09,140
understanding the biblical significance of each one and when to do it.
129
00:09:09,140 --> 00:09:17,300
How often do you think people are just not aware or confused with what the Bible says
130
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:18,300
on that?
131
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:22,740
Oh, I, I, I think it's rampant.
132
00:09:22,740 --> 00:09:24,100
I really do.
133
00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:28,740
Because I listen everywhere I go, I see how they live.
134
00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:31,700
I listen to what comes out of their mouth and what they say.
135
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:37,980
I can tell they're not walking in abundance of the surety of God's provision because I
136
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:40,820
can listen to what they say.
137
00:09:40,820 --> 00:09:45,940
And and being quote, I've been labeled.
138
00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:49,620
I'm not really, I'm, I'm not a prosperity preacher.
139
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:55,780
I'm actually a covenant teacher and part of God's covenant is prosperity.
140
00:09:55,780 --> 00:09:58,140
But I, I'll be honest with you.
141
00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:04,820
I have been brutally attacked for my position on finance.
142
00:10:04,820 --> 00:10:08,660
And it's amazing how many of the people who brutally attacked me at some point later on
143
00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:13,140
down the line, I'll get a very humbling call and they'll ask for money.
144
00:10:13,140 --> 00:10:14,140
And you know what?
145
00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:15,140
I help them.
146
00:10:15,140 --> 00:10:16,140
Yeah, I listen.
147
00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:26,140
I don't, I know the Lord gifted me to before I was saved, I had the gift with finance.
148
00:10:26,140 --> 00:10:30,520
My family always said, you know, he's got the touch, whatever.
149
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,400
And and a lot of it is, is because my uncle Lou that raised help raising my godfather
150
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:41,980
was a very wealthy man and he put those basic principles in into my, my, my behavior.
151
00:10:41,980 --> 00:10:43,780
A lot of it has to do that.
152
00:10:43,780 --> 00:10:48,900
I understand if you don't have goals and you don't have plans, it's not going to happen.
153
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:49,900
Okay.
154
00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:57,580
And the other thing is if you, if your mind works by the hour, then then what happens
155
00:10:57,580 --> 00:11:00,820
is then you'll always be concerned about the price.
156
00:11:00,820 --> 00:11:05,520
If you're, if your mind is focused on getting the thing accomplished and you're not working
157
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,680
by the hour, then next thing you know, the price doesn't matter.
158
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:14,740
So those are all like mindsets that I was raised with, but I was raised with an entrepreneurial
159
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:21,100
influence, but it really is a biblical principle because if you'll seek first the kingdom,
160
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:24,860
I mean, look at Solomon, he's the richest man that's ever lived on the earth and the
161
00:11:24,860 --> 00:11:26,220
most wise.
162
00:11:26,220 --> 00:11:29,060
And he was, he was operating by those principles.
163
00:11:29,060 --> 00:11:33,060
That's why when I got saved, I decided, you know, I I'm going to try to follow them.
164
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:37,420
So when, when you get this book on tithes and offerings, the workbook that we wrote,
165
00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:43,260
it's basically 30 years of experience of like, I know that if you do this, it will work.
166
00:11:43,260 --> 00:11:46,700
And it's not because I wrote the book.
167
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:48,460
All I did was reek.
168
00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:52,320
All I did was capture the principles that work.
169
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,520
But when people ask us, well, you know, how do you deliver $970,000 worth of goods during
170
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,460
a war in 30 days in war?
171
00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:02,300
I mean, you're in war.
172
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:03,440
Everything is shut down.
173
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:10,340
How does your organization go and get to wholesale places, get bulletproof vests, get helmets,
174
00:12:10,340 --> 00:12:14,260
get medical supplies, get food, all the stuff that we get.
175
00:12:14,260 --> 00:12:19,580
Plus while you're doing that, not neglecting the orphans and the Holocaust survivors and
176
00:12:19,580 --> 00:12:22,260
and take how does that happen?
177
00:12:22,260 --> 00:12:25,000
It's because of these principles.
178
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,280
And I came to people like Curt Landry Ministries and House of David and I said, we're at war,
179
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,420
we need help.
180
00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:33,660
And my gosh, I mean, you guys have given over a million dollars.
181
00:12:33,660 --> 00:12:36,060
So so how does that work?
182
00:12:36,060 --> 00:12:38,880
The reason it works is because we sow the seed.
183
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,840
We don't receive the million dollars and keep it.
184
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,700
We get it and we move it out quickly.
185
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:48,700
And and with the war, it had to happen.
186
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:49,700
You know, we had three.
187
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:55,260
And initially it was 250, but it went to three hundred and sixty thousand reservists that
188
00:12:55,260 --> 00:13:00,620
don't have sheets, that don't have shaving kits, don't have pillows.
189
00:13:00,620 --> 00:13:04,540
Don't I mean, they just listen essentials.
190
00:13:04,540 --> 00:13:06,220
They're they're they're CPAs.
191
00:13:06,220 --> 00:13:07,220
There's accountants.
192
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:08,220
They're they're a cook.
193
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:09,220
They're a plumber.
194
00:13:09,220 --> 00:13:10,220
They're an electrician.
195
00:13:10,220 --> 00:13:12,420
They get a phone call and they say, you know what?
196
00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:14,740
Meet us down at Sturdo.
197
00:13:14,740 --> 00:13:19,660
You know, and one day they kiss their families, hug their babies, load up and go.
198
00:13:19,660 --> 00:13:21,420
Oh, they needed uniforms.
199
00:13:21,420 --> 00:13:23,140
They needed boots.
200
00:13:23,140 --> 00:13:24,820
They needed all that stuff.
201
00:13:24,820 --> 00:13:25,820
We got it all.
202
00:13:25,820 --> 00:13:27,460
And it's like, how did you do that?
203
00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:33,160
It's because we are already working with the wholesalers and we already have our own amouta.
204
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,380
But the biggest thing is, is like when they would call me and say, yes, listen, I didn't
205
00:13:38,380 --> 00:13:41,300
have the money.
206
00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:45,240
But I had the God.
207
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,580
And I knew emotionally they're at war.
208
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:54,900
Can you imagine if they call me and I said, no, it's like, no, that's not going to happen.
209
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:55,940
So we said, yes.
210
00:13:55,940 --> 00:13:59,940
Then we went to you and we did a few broadcasts.
211
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:01,780
It wasn't a huge thing.
212
00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:03,900
And you guys are the heroes.
213
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:05,020
You did it.
214
00:14:05,020 --> 00:14:06,020
You did it.
215
00:14:06,020 --> 00:14:11,520
You gave and and the Lord's going to bless you for it because it's great.
216
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,140
You know, we had to we had to move quickly at that time.
217
00:14:15,140 --> 00:14:18,100
And I believe it's seek first the kingdom and his righteousness.
218
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:22,540
And then what all these things will be added onto you.
219
00:14:22,540 --> 00:14:23,540
And you know what?
220
00:14:23,540 --> 00:14:30,500
Everything in the ministry was added onto the ministry has kept growing and it was powerful.
221
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:31,500
That's good.
222
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:41,660
Why do you think that you've been attacked and coin labeled, whatever you want to call
223
00:14:41,660 --> 00:14:46,900
it, as a prosperity preacher?
224
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:50,780
I think they think I talk about it too much.
225
00:14:50,780 --> 00:14:51,860
I agree with them.
226
00:14:51,860 --> 00:14:54,740
I probably do talk about it too much.
227
00:14:54,740 --> 00:14:58,580
But to be honest with you, I don't choose my messages.
228
00:14:58,580 --> 00:15:06,780
I pray and I ask the Lord and I preach what the Lord tells me to preach based off that
229
00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:09,780
inspiration.
230
00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:15,220
I told one of my pastors once says, well, Rabbi, you talk about it too much.
231
00:15:15,220 --> 00:15:16,220
And I said, you know what?
232
00:15:16,220 --> 00:15:20,380
If you would start to walk in the biblical principles, maybe I wouldn't have to be reminding
233
00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:22,340
you so much.
234
00:15:22,340 --> 00:15:23,580
I literally said that to him.
235
00:15:23,580 --> 00:15:27,000
He's under my, you know, it's one of the ones I'm mentoring.
236
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,360
And he was he was upset.
237
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,700
And I said, well, if you would, I could move on to another subject.
238
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:34,660
But look at the yeah, who's helping you right now?
239
00:15:34,660 --> 00:15:37,420
I mean, you know, you know, your church can't pay its bills.
240
00:15:37,420 --> 00:15:41,060
You're going to stuff because you're not doing what I'm teaching.
241
00:15:41,060 --> 00:15:44,420
And so I just told him, you know, I just, you know, in love.
242
00:15:44,420 --> 00:15:49,860
But it's like, yeah, I think I think what happens is people get jealous.
243
00:15:49,860 --> 00:15:52,540
They get agitated.
244
00:15:52,540 --> 00:15:56,860
Let me let me share with you a few principles on the back of my goals to grow that will
245
00:15:56,860 --> 00:15:58,700
kind of OK.
246
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:00,360
This might be a little bit of a segue.
247
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,740
Then we'll go on to the next scripture.
248
00:16:02,740 --> 00:16:04,060
But these are just a few.
249
00:16:04,060 --> 00:16:05,060
OK.
250
00:16:05,060 --> 00:16:06,060
And these are things that I've read.
251
00:16:06,060 --> 00:16:10,660
You know, I tell people like I think you should read an educational book, an audio book or
252
00:16:10,660 --> 00:16:12,840
read a book at least once a month.
253
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,480
So these are just kind of some things that I've collected over the years.
254
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,740
And Hey, let's do this real quick.
255
00:16:19,740 --> 00:16:23,720
Curt Landry dot com forward slash goals 2024.
256
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,580
You can get your free download for goals to grow.
257
00:16:26,580 --> 00:16:27,580
OK.
258
00:16:27,580 --> 00:16:28,580
OK.
259
00:16:28,580 --> 00:16:29,580
So, Darrell, these aren't mine.
260
00:16:29,580 --> 00:16:32,460
These are things I've read and these are notes I put on the back.
261
00:16:32,460 --> 00:16:35,100
And I actually pray these out loud five days a week.
262
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:36,580
Is that coffee on the back?
263
00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:37,580
Yes.
264
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:39,060
Yeah, I spilled.
265
00:16:39,060 --> 00:16:40,060
OK.
266
00:16:40,060 --> 00:16:41,540
There's coffee.
267
00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:45,260
Christy knows where I go because she can just go in the house and watch the little drips
268
00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:46,260
everywhere.
269
00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:53,020
So anyway, when you're winning, keep your mouth shut.
270
00:16:53,020 --> 00:16:54,020
That's good.
271
00:16:54,020 --> 00:16:55,020
OK.
272
00:16:55,020 --> 00:16:56,500
That's hard to do in it.
273
00:16:56,500 --> 00:17:00,900
Not for me, because I always said like I have a friend of mine.
274
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:06,780
We're in a ministry project together and he just had a multimillion dollar increase on
275
00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:07,780
his thing.
276
00:17:07,780 --> 00:17:15,300
And I said to him and we prayed it in together and so we're five million dollar increase.
277
00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:17,580
And so I prayed it in.
278
00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:20,380
And so I told him, I said, now, you know, keep your mouth shut.
279
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:21,380
He said, yes, sir.
280
00:17:21,380 --> 00:17:23,200
It's how he talks to me.
281
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,700
And I said, OK.
282
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:27,560
So I said, you and I will just listen, it's not my money.
283
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,640
It's his ministry's money.
284
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,000
But I told him, I said, remember, don't tell anyone.
285
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Keep your mouth shut and have the stupid smile.
286
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,020
When people ask you how you're doing, just say fine.
287
00:17:36,020 --> 00:17:37,600
But you have the stupid smile.
288
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,780
And I said, but don't tell him because people aren't going to be happy.
289
00:17:41,780 --> 00:17:42,780
OK.
290
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:46,040
And here's another one for pastors and for all of you.
291
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,140
Don't expect to get what you give.
292
00:17:50,140 --> 00:17:52,380
Whatever you give to people, don't like measure it off.
293
00:17:52,380 --> 00:17:53,860
Well, they I sowed to them.
294
00:17:53,860 --> 00:17:55,460
Are you supposed to reap what you sow?
295
00:17:55,460 --> 00:17:59,900
Listen, you're going to get if you're really successful, you're always going to give more
296
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:00,900
to them.
297
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:01,900
OK.
298
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:03,020
Then you're going to get back.
299
00:18:03,020 --> 00:18:04,460
So just forget that.
300
00:18:04,460 --> 00:18:05,460
Just give.
301
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:08,300
And if you never get anything back, you know what?
302
00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:09,380
Just praise God.
303
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:11,580
I always go back to when Christie and I had nothing.
304
00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:14,260
We went broke after going in ministry.
305
00:18:14,260 --> 00:18:16,460
And and then I went to the Lord.
306
00:18:16,460 --> 00:18:18,580
I said, listen, I'm working really hard.
307
00:18:18,580 --> 00:18:22,980
He says, he says, until you teach people to do it, you're you're taking it.
308
00:18:22,980 --> 00:18:25,220
You're bringing a corporate thing in here.
309
00:18:25,220 --> 00:18:26,220
Teach my ways.
310
00:18:26,220 --> 00:18:27,220
And that's when I shifted.
311
00:18:27,220 --> 00:18:29,340
That's where this book came from.
312
00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:30,500
OK.
313
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:31,900
Here's another one.
314
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:34,940
Don't tell people your plans.
315
00:18:34,940 --> 00:18:35,940
Because then you're going to get on.
316
00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:37,940
Yeah, that might be the best one so far.
317
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:41,180
I mean, like that one is.
318
00:18:41,180 --> 00:18:48,100
Like a lot of spiritual truth from, you know, I mean, like one thing that we talk about
319
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:55,340
just over the phone and randomly is, you know, don't give an angle to the enemy to come in
320
00:18:55,340 --> 00:18:56,700
and attack it.
321
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:57,700
Right.
322
00:18:57,700 --> 00:19:03,140
Wait, wait till you get, you know, like if you look at my social media, all the pictures,
323
00:19:03,140 --> 00:19:08,860
if I do show and I don't show most of my private stuff because I want to have a life.
324
00:19:08,860 --> 00:19:11,740
But here's the thing is, I just like the Israel stuff.
325
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:14,120
Most of it I show afterwards.
326
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:18,240
And the reason is, well, I do if my security tells me to do it because I don't want people
327
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,540
know where I'm at.
328
00:19:19,540 --> 00:19:25,620
But the thing is, I don't want this talk in the atmosphere of I don't need people come
329
00:19:25,620 --> 00:19:28,140
in like most of the stuff I do.
330
00:19:28,140 --> 00:19:33,740
If I told everybody, I'd have people say, well, Rabbi, listen, I was praying for you.
331
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:38,540
And that's just too much risk or that can't happen.
332
00:19:38,540 --> 00:19:40,140
I don't need to hear that.
333
00:19:40,140 --> 00:19:41,140
Yeah.
334
00:19:41,140 --> 00:19:47,020
So, you know, and so, you know, anyway, that's that's it.
335
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:48,300
You want to hear some more of these?
336
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:49,300
Yeah, yeah.
337
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:52,980
Let's do like two more and then we can save these for later.
338
00:19:52,980 --> 00:19:53,980
Okay.
339
00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:55,820
Let me see.
340
00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:56,940
Here's one for you.
341
00:19:56,940 --> 00:20:04,540
The devil would not be attacking you so hard if you didn't have something valuable inside
342
00:20:04,540 --> 00:20:05,540
of you.
343
00:20:05,540 --> 00:20:10,340
A thief doesn't break into an empty house.
344
00:20:10,340 --> 00:20:13,060
So if you're being attacked right now, it's because you know what?
345
00:20:13,060 --> 00:20:14,060
You got the goods.
346
00:20:14,060 --> 00:20:15,480
You're doing something right.
347
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,900
You're doing something right.
348
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:23,500
And I can tell you from from just business experience and personal where you get attacked
349
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:27,620
the most is when you're getting promoted, getting ready to do something big or you just
350
00:20:27,620 --> 00:20:29,260
did something great.
351
00:20:29,260 --> 00:20:31,900
And then it's like payback.
352
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:37,000
So those that's when you have to be on guard at the birth and then at the victory party.
353
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,720
That's when Satan comes.
354
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,480
And here's the last one.
355
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:48,140
Maybe you're holding on to exactly what you need to let go of to move forward.
356
00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:52,860
Man, I mean, like all of those are just nuggets.
357
00:20:52,860 --> 00:20:56,100
Yeah, we can go on.
358
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:57,560
We can get through some more later.
359
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,460
Let's move on to the second principle.
360
00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:00,460
Okay.
361
00:21:00,460 --> 00:21:13,780
So if you ask me like, okay, you're going to go to Wall Street, New York, and you're
362
00:21:13,780 --> 00:21:18,980
going to speak at the UN, you're going to speak at the Knesset, you're going to do whatever.
363
00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:23,340
The Minister of Finance in Israel called and he's going to ask you like a question.
364
00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:27,020
What I'm going to share is what I would share at any one of those venues.
365
00:21:27,020 --> 00:21:30,460
I'm not saying anybody would be interested in having me speak there, but I'm trying to
366
00:21:30,460 --> 00:21:32,500
make a dramatic emphasis here.
367
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:33,860
This is what I would say.
368
00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:37,660
I would say, remember who gives you the power.
369
00:21:37,660 --> 00:21:41,540
Remember, you have to remember.
370
00:21:41,540 --> 00:21:46,780
And here's the scripture from Deuteronomy 8, 18 through 20.
371
00:21:46,780 --> 00:21:54,780
And you shall remember the Lord your God for it is he who gives you power to get wealth.
372
00:21:54,780 --> 00:21:56,020
Why?
373
00:21:56,020 --> 00:22:04,740
That he may establish his covenant, which he swore to your fathers as it is this day.
374
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:12,340
So he gives you wealth to create a testimony that when you choose to follow God and his
375
00:22:12,340 --> 00:22:16,340
ways, he prospers you as a testimony.
376
00:22:16,340 --> 00:22:23,220
And what happens is when you are counterproductive to the prosperity of God, then what happens
377
00:22:23,220 --> 00:22:30,900
is you are actually disallowing God from establishing his covenant in and through you.
378
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:36,780
So these people that come against you for the prosperity, they don't really understand.
379
00:22:36,780 --> 00:22:40,140
They're actually coming against God's covenant.
380
00:22:40,140 --> 00:22:42,300
And I want to be flowing with it.
381
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:44,180
Now here's the warning.
382
00:22:44,180 --> 00:22:51,420
Then it shall be, if by any means you forget the Lord your God and follow other gods such
383
00:22:51,420 --> 00:22:58,380
as man's opinion, fear, doubt, unbelief, pride, arrogance, and serve them and worship them,
384
00:22:58,380 --> 00:23:05,740
I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish as the nations which the Lord
385
00:23:05,740 --> 00:23:07,740
destroyed before you.
386
00:23:07,740 --> 00:23:14,060
You shall perish because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God.
387
00:23:14,060 --> 00:23:18,820
So Darrell, you've worked here for a couple of years now.
388
00:23:18,820 --> 00:23:23,460
Nathan's over there behind the switcher and he's been here about a year and we've got
389
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:25,180
new people.
390
00:23:25,180 --> 00:23:32,060
And so when you see Rabbi do some of the stuff that I do, and I'm not saying you say this,
391
00:23:32,060 --> 00:23:34,540
but man, what's he doing?
392
00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:36,300
Why is he doing that?
393
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:42,740
It's because I sincerely believe and I get confirmation from other prophets and leaders
394
00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:44,460
that I'm supposed to do it.
395
00:23:44,460 --> 00:23:50,720
But the reason I do it, now it goes back to the last podcast in heaven.
396
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:57,740
If I do what the God says and it even doesn't prosper on earth, I will have rewards in heaven.
397
00:23:57,740 --> 00:23:59,820
So that's where my mind goes.
398
00:23:59,820 --> 00:24:06,380
So to really simplify this, if I believe God's done it, I will do, I will put all my might
399
00:24:06,380 --> 00:24:12,420
and do my work onto my hands to answer the call because of this scripture.
400
00:24:12,420 --> 00:24:19,380
Because I do not want to hear from the Lord and the Lord saying, Curtis, did you not read
401
00:24:19,380 --> 00:24:25,500
where it says, then it shall be if by any means you forget the Lord your God and follow
402
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:34,020
other gods such as your own good ideas, your friends, good ideas, what you saw on some
403
00:24:34,020 --> 00:24:36,620
counseling thing and serve them in worship.
404
00:24:36,620 --> 00:24:43,940
So I may not sit down and sing songs to them, but what happens is I speak the fear and doubt.
405
00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:52,700
Well, you know, if I start going down the yeah, but trail, then I'm serving other gods
406
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:58,820
and I want to be, I want to hear well done, good and faithful servant.
407
00:24:58,820 --> 00:25:04,020
So to me, the biggest key is you've got to obey God.
408
00:25:04,020 --> 00:25:09,260
And I will close with this, these nuggets here.
409
00:25:09,260 --> 00:25:15,460
You may make people angry when you start following the goals to grow, because when you fill out
410
00:25:15,460 --> 00:25:21,440
your goals to grow, you're going to, God's going to ask you to do some things that are
411
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,260
beyond yourself so he can supernaturally intervene and get the glory.
412
00:25:26,260 --> 00:25:30,740
And there'll be other people who are not of the same faith or have the same vision.
413
00:25:30,740 --> 00:25:34,660
First of all, don't believe God could use you.
414
00:25:34,660 --> 00:25:37,500
And what happens is it may make them angry.
415
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:42,500
And when you get super serious about following your life goals, you may start losing some
416
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:47,820
friends because you know, I've watched this in our own life.
417
00:25:47,820 --> 00:25:53,400
You'll have friends at one level of social economic relationship and then some at another
418
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,200
level and then you'll have some at another level.
419
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:04,380
As you increase in finance, finance and then you increase in what you can do and not everybody
420
00:26:04,380 --> 00:26:05,980
can travel with you.
421
00:26:05,980 --> 00:26:12,660
So it's one of the sufferings of financially prospering in the Lord is you probably going
422
00:26:12,660 --> 00:26:14,440
to lose some friends.
423
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,220
And you need to understand this, finance doesn't make life easier.
424
00:26:18,220 --> 00:26:20,820
It just makes you stronger and wiser.
425
00:26:20,820 --> 00:26:26,500
And I would say with my book and ties and offerings, my goal is that you can get more
426
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:27,980
done with less.
427
00:26:27,980 --> 00:26:32,020
Doesn't mean you work less, you just work smarter and then you'll have more so that
428
00:26:32,020 --> 00:26:36,900
you can be a better influencer for the kingdom of God so that you can be a part of doing
429
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:40,100
good putting the foolish talk to foolish men to not.
430
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:41,700
I can share this with you.
431
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:46,580
There's nothing better than to be able to give and be part of the solution, particularly
432
00:26:46,580 --> 00:26:53,380
when you're helping those who have absolutely no ability to help themselves.
433
00:26:53,380 --> 00:26:59,900
I think the greatest measure of a man's heart and you were with me when we were interviewing
434
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:07,580
Doran Omag, General Doran Omag and he told me this, he said and we'll close with this.
435
00:27:07,580 --> 00:27:09,700
He went to Harvard.
436
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:16,820
He's a general, he was the Raid Tim Tebby co-commander with Bibi Netanyahu's brother, Yoni.
437
00:27:16,820 --> 00:27:18,300
Yoni actually died in his arms.
438
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:21,860
He's a very smart, decorated war hero.
439
00:27:21,860 --> 00:27:27,460
You were there when we were in his office where Israel began, where the very first government
440
00:27:27,460 --> 00:27:30,900
with David Ben-Gurion, we're in that building, it's his office is there.
441
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:33,100
And he said these words to me.
442
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:37,660
He said, my greatest counselor couldn't speak.
443
00:27:37,660 --> 00:27:42,540
And he said, my greatest counselor taught me the greatest lesson.
444
00:27:42,540 --> 00:27:47,100
He said it was my handicapped son that died at 16.
445
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:54,060
And what he taught me was this, is that the measure of the greatness of a man is his ability
446
00:27:54,060 --> 00:28:00,180
to take care of those who have absolutely no ability to take care of themselves and no
447
00:28:00,180 --> 00:28:03,180
ability to pay you back.
448
00:28:03,180 --> 00:28:05,980
That is a great man.
449
00:28:05,980 --> 00:28:12,740
And man, when he said that, I said to myself, I want to be that great man.
450
00:28:12,740 --> 00:28:20,820
And because of that, he has started two handicapped hospitals for special needs kids in Israel,
451
00:28:20,820 --> 00:28:23,420
one in Beersheba and one in Jerusalem.
452
00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:31,460
And then my biggest honor that day, if you remember, Sam said to Doran, he said, have
453
00:28:31,460 --> 00:28:38,060
you ever met the Christian who helps you with the hospital in Jerusalem?
454
00:28:38,060 --> 00:28:41,580
He said, no, I've never met him.
455
00:28:41,580 --> 00:28:43,700
And he said, well, now you've met him.
456
00:28:43,700 --> 00:28:44,980
You're talking to him right now.
457
00:28:44,980 --> 00:28:47,220
You're talking to him right now.
458
00:28:47,220 --> 00:28:50,300
And remember, we grabbed hands.
459
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:52,440
That was my greatest honor.
460
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:59,520
So if you want the key to biblical finance, you have to have a heart to help those who
461
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:07,180
can't help themselves and have no way, no ability to pay you back.
462
00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:08,900
That's biblical wealth.
463
00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:15,300
Well, if you've made it to the deep end of this episode, we just encourage you if you
464

470
00:29:44,940 --> 00:29:51,100
All right, Rabbi, 30 seconds lasting thoughts for the listeners and then we'll get out of
471
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:52,100
here.
472
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:53,100
Well, it's got to be.
473
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:57,740
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things shall be added on to
474
00:29:57,740 --> 00:29:58,740
thee.
475
00:29:58,740 --> 00:30:03,500
I will tell you this, please, please, please give God a chance to intervene in your deepest
476
00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:06,540
fears, doubts, sorrows and pains.
477
00:30:06,540 --> 00:30:13,060
And he will not fail you for our God is not a man that he should lie and God is love and
478
00:30:13,060 --> 00:30:15,780
every good and perfect gift comes from above.
479
00:30:15,780 --> 00:30:17,860
So don't ever forget that he loves you.
480
00:30:17,860 --> 00:30:19,200
He created you.
481
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,940
And don't ever forget this, that he gave his only begotten son.
482
00:30:22,940 --> 00:30:24,680
He gave his best.
483
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:31,100
Every drop of blood, every pain that he ever suffered was for you to be able to prosper
484
00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:34,460
and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
485
00:30:34,460 --> 00:30:36,900
That's my prayer for you in Yeshua's name.
486
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:41,300
All right, that'll wrap it up for this episode of the Curt Landry podcast.
487
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:43,900
Rabbi until next time.
488
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,100
Shalom.
489
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:52,020

How do I walk in the spirit?
497
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:30,060
Or how do I do spiritual warfare?
498
00:31:30,060 --> 00:31:33,380
Or how do I believe that I'm more than a conqueror?
499
00:31:33,380 --> 00:31:40,700

be added on to us.
502
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:50,260
The fruit of the spirit is evident in his covenant.
503
00:31:50,260 --> 00:31:56,980

There are some projects that really touch your heart and this is interesting because
508
00:32:20,340 --> 00:32:26,860
our son in law Paul Marcelino, his dad, Yocana Marcelino helped to produce this book and
509
00:32:26,860 --> 00:32:36,180
the whole purpose of this book, Jerusalem Rising, is to be able to bring visual evidence
510
00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:43,100
that Jerusalem and Israel actually belongs to the children of the God of Abraham, Isaac
511
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:50,740
and Jacob, that this is the land of Isaac and the miracle power.
512
00:32:50,740 --> 00:32:57,300
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and this book captures that.

00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,040
discover your kingdom destiny.
3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:15,600
My name is Darrell and sitting right beside me is Rabbi Curt Landry.
4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,480
And in this episode, we're discussing how does finance work spiritually.
5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,600
But before we jump into this one, Rabbi, how was yesterday?
6
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,200
How was the weekend for you getting going?
7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,600
Hey, it's going great.
8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,520
Listen, we're going to talk about probably one of my favorite subjects.
9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,200
We're going to talk about money and finance.
10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,880
And I've always been very open.
11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:48,080
I've had, you know, when I get with religious people, oh, you talk too much about money
12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,520
and you shouldn't.
13
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,520
I don't like money.
14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,320
And I always just tell them, listen, if you don't like it, you can give it to me.
15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,720
I do like it.
16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,640
And you got to realize I'm a humanitarian aid person.
17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,480
So I've been doing humanitarian aid for 33 years.
18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:10,760
And it takes literally our ministry has been involved in, I think, close to like $30 million
19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,040
of humanitarian aid.
20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,080
So yeah, I do like money.
21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,840
And I don't love money.
22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,520
The root of all evil is money.
23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:21,520
Money is neutral.
24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,160
It's just a tool.
25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,240
And the thing of it is you're either going to align your life to have a good relationship
26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,800
with it.
27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,080
And you know, the apostle Paul said it this way, I've, I've abound with little and I've
28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,080
abound with much.
29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,200
Well, that's my story.
30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,760
I have been completely broke.
31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:43,000
I'm talking having to borrow money from the parents and the neighbors for food and to
32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,920
having abundance.
33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:54,320
And so anyway, I feel I'm not really an expert at a lot of things.
34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:00,800
But as far as releasing blessings through tithes and offering and biblical finance,
35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:06,560
I feel like the ministry just because of the impact of the humanitarian aid, I feel like
36
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,320
we have, I don't want to say expert, but we have experience in a testimony that proves
37
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,560
that, you know, one of the things that being a goodwill ambassador to the nation of Israel
38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:30,800
literally recognized is that the biggest weapon I can do to battle anti-Semitism and boycotts
39
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:38,600
and sanctions against Israel is by the scripture says by doing good, putting the foolish talk
40
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,760
of foolish men to not.
41
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,840
And if you're going to do good, you have to do good with out of the abundance of your
42
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,840
life.
43
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,640
And so if you're going, if you're just have a life just to pay your bills, you really
44
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:52,520
can't participate in the abundance.
45
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,180
So I want to talk about, I'm going to talk about two principles today that will help
46
00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:08,280
you have more abundance so that you can give here's listen, I love giving and I'm honored
47
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:16,000
that I get phone calls and from Israel and they say, and Kenya and different places and
48
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,040
they ask for help and we're able to say yes.
49
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,360
And they cry on the phone.
50
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,360
Thank you so much.
51
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,360
You're helping these orphans.
52
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,960
You know, we just recently helped 500 orphans.
53
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,960
You know, I was an orphan.
54
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:34,920
That's how I started in my life and the fact that I can have it's money, you know, I think,
55
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,000
I think people need to have a spiritual balance.
56
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,880
You know, you can order, I did a workbook on it.
57
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,920
You can order the workbook on releasing the blessings through ties and offering understanding
58
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,440
biblical principles of finance.
59
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,120
I would go through that workbook.
60
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,440
I go through it every year just to kind of sharpen my pencil.
61
00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:00,400
But money used for good is a very good thing.
62
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,840
So let's break down those two principles.
63
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,800
But you know, the question I want you to kind of focus around and well, I guess let's say
64
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,800
this first.
65
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:17,040
We, we have an excellent workbook, an excellent book on times and offerings that you've done
66
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,200
a lot of preaching, a lot of biblical finance teaching on.
67
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:27,280
You know, we've created a three part series and incorporate a lot of it into the master
68
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:35,360
class, you know, just kind of little sprinkles of, of this teaching and of this resource
69
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,440
into the emotional healing a little bit.
70
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,080
But we've done a lot of, a lot of content and a lot of excellent content, I think with
71
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,480
a lot of resources with it.
72
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,680
You know, for anyone listening that wants to purchase this workbook, you can obviously
73
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,200
just find it on curtlandry.com, but we'll put the short link in the description and
74
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,760
the show notes of this episode.
75
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,240
So Rabbi, let's focus around this question.
76
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,160
And that is how does finance work spiritually around those two points that you've got prepared
77
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,160
for us?
78
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,160
Yeah.
79
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,160
Okay.
80
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:18,720
And, and I really, I kind of want to drill down deep into this because if I had two principles
81
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:29,320
that I live by, I mean, it's just like, these are so deep rooted in my family, in my children.
82
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:35,360
It's this is something my spiritual children get this.
83
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,520
And the first one is Matthew 6 33 and 34.
84
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,340
And it says, but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
85
00:05:45,340 --> 00:05:56,000
So you, you've got to have a mental conscious and unconscious thought of what is first in
86
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,560
God's kingdom.
87
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,780
You have to mentally put it first.
88
00:06:00,780 --> 00:06:06,340
You have to, it's like when you knee jerk and something happens, you have to go into
89
00:06:06,340 --> 00:06:07,340
the kingdom.
90
00:06:07,340 --> 00:06:08,340
Okay.
91
00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:09,960
But then it says in his righteousness.
92
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:16,720
So it's not enough just to seek the righteousness, I mean the kingdom, but you have to seek,
93
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,600
seek how do I live?
94
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,200
Righteousness means I'm in proper alignment.
95
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,600
I'm doing it God's way.
96
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,600
Okay.
97
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,240
So that, though that right there is, is very important.
98
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,460
But here's the guarantee.
99
00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:34,400
The guarantee in the covenant is if you seek first the kingdom and you live rightly, all
100
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,540
things will be added onto you, all things.
101
00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:46,020
So that's your rent, your mortgage, your doctor bill, your anything and every food, everything.
102
00:06:46,020 --> 00:06:54,520
And then it says, if you'll just perfect in your mind, a kingdom first mindset and understand
103
00:06:54,520 --> 00:07:00,960
the instruction of the Bible for righteousness, therefore do not worry about tomorrow.
104
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,940
Worry.
105
00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:09,420
So here's the thing is if you lack of finance causes more divorce, more sickness and more
106
00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:13,500
disease than probably anything else because people don't have enough money.
107
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,740
That's why I hate lack.
108
00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:17,020
I hate poverty.
109
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:18,020
I lived in it.
110
00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:20,860
I was raised in a lower middle-class family.
111
00:07:20,860 --> 00:07:25,240
I worked since I was, I had a social security number at 11.
112
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,200
I worked 40 hours a week since I was 15 years old.
113
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:36,860
So I mean, I get it, but I can tell you being at the place now where I order off the left
114
00:07:36,860 --> 00:07:45,380
side of the menu, not the right side is much better than having to worry about the finance.
115
00:07:45,380 --> 00:07:51,060
So what the word says, if you'll, if you'll have a kingdom mindset and live righteously,
116
00:07:51,060 --> 00:07:55,940
then you don't have to worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about its own thing
117
00:07:55,940 --> 00:07:59,380
sufficient for its day of trouble.
118
00:07:59,380 --> 00:08:01,940
So that's, that's really a mindset.
119
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:08,180
The whole reason I have done goals to grow when I get on the line and, and, and, and
120
00:08:08,180 --> 00:08:14,180
I'm inspired from my home office and I go into the studio and film from there, the,
121
00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:20,100
these podcasts, if I could lay hands on you right now and just give you two things, I
122
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:28,740
would say a mindset to trust God in his kingdom and a hunger to be a student, to live righteously.
123
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:35,320
And I'm not talking about like weird holiness, like how you wear your hair or you dress.
124
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:41,160
I'm talking about understanding biblical alignment.
125
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:52,300
So how do, how often do you think people mistake in the true biblical alignment when it comes
126
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:53,640
to finances?
127
00:08:53,640 --> 00:09:02,020
Because you know, I mean, the difference in tithes and offerings and people's lack of
128
00:09:02,020 --> 00:09:09,140
understanding the biblical significance of each one and when to do it.
129
00:09:09,140 --> 00:09:17,300
How often do you think people are just not aware or confused with what the Bible says
130
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:18,300
on that?
131
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:22,740
Oh, I, I, I think it's rampant.
132
00:09:22,740 --> 00:09:24,100
I really do.
133
00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:28,740
Because I listen everywhere I go, I see how they live.
134
00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:31,700
I listen to what comes out of their mouth and what they say.
135
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:37,980
I can tell they're not walking in abundance of the surety of God's provision because I
136
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:40,820
can listen to what they say.
137
00:09:40,820 --> 00:09:45,940
And and being quote, I've been labeled.
138
00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:49,620
I'm not really, I'm, I'm not a prosperity preacher.
139
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:55,780
I'm actually a covenant teacher and part of God's covenant is prosperity.
140
00:09:55,780 --> 00:09:58,140
But I, I'll be honest with you.
141
00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:04,820
I have been brutally attacked for my position on finance.
142
00:10:04,820 --> 00:10:08,660
And it's amazing how many of the people who brutally attacked me at some point later on
143
00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:13,140
down the line, I'll get a very humbling call and they'll ask for money.
144
00:10:13,140 --> 00:10:14,140
And you know what?
145
00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:15,140
I help them.
146
00:10:15,140 --> 00:10:16,140
Yeah, I listen.
147
00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:26,140
I don't, I know the Lord gifted me to before I was saved, I had the gift with finance.
148
00:10:26,140 --> 00:10:30,520
My family always said, you know, he's got the touch, whatever.
149
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,400
And and a lot of it is, is because my uncle Lou that raised help raising my godfather
150
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:41,980
was a very wealthy man and he put those basic principles in into my, my, my behavior.
151
00:10:41,980 --> 00:10:43,780
A lot of it has to do that.
152
00:10:43,780 --> 00:10:48,900
I understand if you don't have goals and you don't have plans, it's not going to happen.
153
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:49,900
Okay.
154
00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:57,580
And the other thing is if you, if your mind works by the hour, then then what happens
155
00:10:57,580 --> 00:11:00,820
is then you'll always be concerned about the price.
156
00:11:00,820 --> 00:11:05,520
If you're, if your mind is focused on getting the thing accomplished and you're not working
157
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,680
by the hour, then next thing you know, the price doesn't matter.
158
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:14,740
So those are all like mindsets that I was raised with, but I was raised with an entrepreneurial
159
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:21,100
influence, but it really is a biblical principle because if you'll seek first the kingdom,
160
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:24,860
I mean, look at Solomon, he's the richest man that's ever lived on the earth and the
161
00:11:24,860 --> 00:11:26,220
most wise.
162
00:11:26,220 --> 00:11:29,060
And he was, he was operating by those principles.
163
00:11:29,060 --> 00:11:33,060
That's why when I got saved, I decided, you know, I I'm going to try to follow them.
164
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:37,420
So when, when you get this book on tithes and offerings, the workbook that we wrote,
165
00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:43,260
it's basically 30 years of experience of like, I know that if you do this, it will work.
166
00:11:43,260 --> 00:11:46,700
And it's not because I wrote the book.
167
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:48,460
All I did was reek.
168
00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:52,320
All I did was capture the principles that work.
169
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,520
But when people ask us, well, you know, how do you deliver $970,000 worth of goods during
170
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,460
a war in 30 days in war?
171
00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:02,300
I mean, you're in war.
172
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:03,440
Everything is shut down.
173
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:10,340
How does your organization go and get to wholesale places, get bulletproof vests, get helmets,
174
00:12:10,340 --> 00:12:14,260
get medical supplies, get food, all the stuff that we get.
175
00:12:14,260 --> 00:12:19,580
Plus while you're doing that, not neglecting the orphans and the Holocaust survivors and
176
00:12:19,580 --> 00:12:22,260
and take how does that happen?
177
00:12:22,260 --> 00:12:25,000
It's because of these principles.
178
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,280
And I came to people like Curt Landry Ministries and House of David and I said, we're at war,
179
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,420
we need help.
180
00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:33,660
And my gosh, I mean, you guys have given over a million dollars.
181
00:12:33,660 --> 00:12:36,060
So so how does that work?
182
00:12:36,060 --> 00:12:38,880
The reason it works is because we sow the seed.
183
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,840
We don't receive the million dollars and keep it.
184
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,700
We get it and we move it out quickly.
185
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:48,700
And and with the war, it had to happen.
186
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:49,700
You know, we had three.
187
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:55,260
And initially it was 250, but it went to three hundred and sixty thousand reservists that
188
00:12:55,260 --> 00:13:00,620
don't have sheets, that don't have shaving kits, don't have pillows.
189
00:13:00,620 --> 00:13:04,540
Don't I mean, they just listen essentials.
190
00:13:04,540 --> 00:13:06,220
They're they're they're CPAs.
191
00:13:06,220 --> 00:13:07,220
There's accountants.
192
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:08,220
They're they're a cook.
193
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:09,220
They're a plumber.
194
00:13:09,220 --> 00:13:10,220
They're an electrician.
195
00:13:10,220 --> 00:13:12,420
They get a phone call and they say, you know what?
196
00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:14,740
Meet us down at Sturdo.
197
00:13:14,740 --> 00:13:19,660
You know, and one day they kiss their families, hug their babies, load up and go.
198
00:13:19,660 --> 00:13:21,420
Oh, they needed uniforms.
199
00:13:21,420 --> 00:13:23,140
They needed boots.
200
00:13:23,140 --> 00:13:24,820
They needed all that stuff.
201
00:13:24,820 --> 00:13:25,820
We got it all.
202
00:13:25,820 --> 00:13:27,460
And it's like, how did you do that?
203
00:13:27,460 --> 00:13:33,160
It's because we are already working with the wholesalers and we already have our own amouta.
204
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,380
But the biggest thing is, is like when they would call me and say, yes, listen, I didn't
205
00:13:38,380 --> 00:13:41,300
have the money.
206
00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:45,240
But I had the God.
207
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,580
And I knew emotionally they're at war.
208
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:54,900
Can you imagine if they call me and I said, no, it's like, no, that's not going to happen.
209
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:55,940
So we said, yes.
210
00:13:55,940 --> 00:13:59,940
Then we went to you and we did a few broadcasts.
211
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:01,780
It wasn't a huge thing.
212
00:14:01,780 --> 00:14:03,900
And you guys are the heroes.
213
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:05,020
You did it.
214
00:14:05,020 --> 00:14:06,020
You did it.
215
00:14:06,020 --> 00:14:11,520
You gave and and the Lord's going to bless you for it because it's great.
216
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,140
You know, we had to we had to move quickly at that time.
217
00:14:15,140 --> 00:14:18,100
And I believe it's seek first the kingdom and his righteousness.
218
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:22,540
And then what all these things will be added onto you.
219
00:14:22,540 --> 00:14:23,540
And you know what?
220
00:14:23,540 --> 00:14:30,500
Everything in the ministry was added onto the ministry has kept growing and it was powerful.
221
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:31,500
That's good.
222
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:41,660
Why do you think that you've been attacked and coin labeled, whatever you want to call
223
00:14:41,660 --> 00:14:46,900
it, as a prosperity preacher?
224
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:50,780
I think they think I talk about it too much.
225
00:14:50,780 --> 00:14:51,860
I agree with them.
226
00:14:51,860 --> 00:14:54,740
I probably do talk about it too much.
227
00:14:54,740 --> 00:14:58,580
But to be honest with you, I don't choose my messages.
228
00:14:58,580 --> 00:15:06,780
I pray and I ask the Lord and I preach what the Lord tells me to preach based off that
229
00:15:06,780 --> 00:15:09,780
inspiration.
230
00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:15,220
I told one of my pastors once says, well, Rabbi, you talk about it too much.
231
00:15:15,220 --> 00:15:16,220
And I said, you know what?
232
00:15:16,220 --> 00:15:20,380
If you would start to walk in the biblical principles, maybe I wouldn't have to be reminding
233
00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:22,340
you so much.
234
00:15:22,340 --> 00:15:23,580
I literally said that to him.
235
00:15:23,580 --> 00:15:27,000
He's under my, you know, it's one of the ones I'm mentoring.
236
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,360
And he was he was upset.
237
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,700
And I said, well, if you would, I could move on to another subject.
238
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:34,660
But look at the yeah, who's helping you right now?
239
00:15:34,660 --> 00:15:37,420
I mean, you know, you know, your church can't pay its bills.
240
00:15:37,420 --> 00:15:41,060
You're going to stuff because you're not doing what I'm teaching.
241
00:15:41,060 --> 00:15:44,420
And so I just told him, you know, I just, you know, in love.
242
00:15:44,420 --> 00:15:49,860
But it's like, yeah, I think I think what happens is people get jealous.
243
00:15:49,860 --> 00:15:52,540
They get agitated.
244
00:15:52,540 --> 00:15:56,860
Let me let me share with you a few principles on the back of my goals to grow that will
245
00:15:56,860 --> 00:15:58,700
kind of OK.
246
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:00,360
This might be a little bit of a segue.
247
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,740
Then we'll go on to the next scripture.
248
00:16:02,740 --> 00:16:04,060
But these are just a few.
249
00:16:04,060 --> 00:16:05,060
OK.
250
00:16:05,060 --> 00:16:06,060
And these are things that I've read.
251
00:16:06,060 --> 00:16:10,660
You know, I tell people like I think you should read an educational book, an audio book or
252
00:16:10,660 --> 00:16:12,840
read a book at least once a month.
253
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,480
So these are just kind of some things that I've collected over the years.
254
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,740
And Hey, let's do this real quick.
255
00:16:19,740 --> 00:16:23,720
Curt Landry dot com forward slash goals 2024.
256
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,580
You can get your free download for goals to grow.
257
00:16:26,580 --> 00:16:27,580
OK.
258
00:16:27,580 --> 00:16:28,580
OK.
259
00:16:28,580 --> 00:16:29,580
So, Darrell, these aren't mine.
260
00:16:29,580 --> 00:16:32,460
These are things I've read and these are notes I put on the back.
261
00:16:32,460 --> 00:16:35,100
And I actually pray these out loud five days a week.
262
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:36,580
Is that coffee on the back?
263
00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:37,580
Yes.
264
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:39,060
Yeah, I spilled.
265
00:16:39,060 --> 00:16:40,060
OK.
266
00:16:40,060 --> 00:16:41,540
There's coffee.
267
00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:45,260
Christy knows where I go because she can just go in the house and watch the little drips
268
00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:46,260
everywhere.
269
00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:53,020
So anyway, when you're winning, keep your mouth shut.
270
00:16:53,020 --> 00:16:54,020
That's good.
271
00:16:54,020 --> 00:16:55,020
OK.
272
00:16:55,020 --> 00:16:56,500
That's hard to do in it.
273
00:16:56,500 --> 00:17:00,900
Not for me, because I always said like I have a friend of mine.
274
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:06,780
We're in a ministry project together and he just had a multimillion dollar increase on
275
00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:07,780
his thing.
276
00:17:07,780 --> 00:17:15,300
And I said to him and we prayed it in together and so we're five million dollar increase.
277
00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:17,580
And so I prayed it in.
278
00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:20,380
And so I told him, I said, now, you know, keep your mouth shut.
279
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:21,380
He said, yes, sir.
280
00:17:21,380 --> 00:17:23,200
It's how he talks to me.
281
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,700
And I said, OK.
282
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:27,560
So I said, you and I will just listen, it's not my money.
283
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,640
It's his ministry's money.
284
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,000
But I told him, I said, remember, don't tell anyone.
285
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Keep your mouth shut and have the stupid smile.
286
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,020
When people ask you how you're doing, just say fine.
287
00:17:36,020 --> 00:17:37,600
But you have the stupid smile.
288
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,780
And I said, but don't tell him because people aren't going to be happy.
289
00:17:41,780 --> 00:17:42,780
OK.
290
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:46,040
And here's another one for pastors and for all of you.
291
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,140
Don't expect to get what you give.
292
00:17:50,140 --> 00:17:52,380
Whatever you give to people, don't like measure it off.
293
00:17:52,380 --> 00:17:53,860
Well, they I sowed to them.
294
00:17:53,860 --> 00:17:55,460
Are you supposed to reap what you sow?
295
00:17:55,460 --> 00:17:59,900
Listen, you're going to get if you're really successful, you're always going to give more
296
00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:00,900
to them.
297
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:01,900
OK.
298
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:03,020
Then you're going to get back.
299
00:18:03,020 --> 00:18:04,460
So just forget that.
300
00:18:04,460 --> 00:18:05,460
Just give.
301
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:08,300
And if you never get anything back, you know what?
302
00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:09,380
Just praise God.
303
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:11,580
I always go back to when Christie and I had nothing.
304
00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:14,260
We went broke after going in ministry.
305
00:18:14,260 --> 00:18:16,460
And and then I went to the Lord.
306
00:18:16,460 --> 00:18:18,580
I said, listen, I'm working really hard.
307
00:18:18,580 --> 00:18:22,980
He says, he says, until you teach people to do it, you're you're taking it.
308
00:18:22,980 --> 00:18:25,220
You're bringing a corporate thing in here.
309
00:18:25,220 --> 00:18:26,220
Teach my ways.
310
00:18:26,220 --> 00:18:27,220
And that's when I shifted.
311
00:18:27,220 --> 00:18:29,340
That's where this book came from.
312
00:18:29,340 --> 00:18:30,500
OK.
313
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:31,900
Here's another one.
314
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:34,940
Don't tell people your plans.
315
00:18:34,940 --> 00:18:35,940
Because then you're going to get on.
316
00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:37,940
Yeah, that might be the best one so far.
317
00:18:37,940 --> 00:18:41,180
I mean, like that one is.
318
00:18:41,180 --> 00:18:48,100
Like a lot of spiritual truth from, you know, I mean, like one thing that we talk about
319
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:55,340
just over the phone and randomly is, you know, don't give an angle to the enemy to come in
320
00:18:55,340 --> 00:18:56,700
and attack it.
321
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:57,700
Right.
322
00:18:57,700 --> 00:19:03,140
Wait, wait till you get, you know, like if you look at my social media, all the pictures,
323
00:19:03,140 --> 00:19:08,860
if I do show and I don't show most of my private stuff because I want to have a life.
324
00:19:08,860 --> 00:19:11,740
But here's the thing is, I just like the Israel stuff.
325
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:14,120
Most of it I show afterwards.
326
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:18,240
And the reason is, well, I do if my security tells me to do it because I don't want people
327
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,540
know where I'm at.
328
00:19:19,540 --> 00:19:25,620
But the thing is, I don't want this talk in the atmosphere of I don't need people come
329
00:19:25,620 --> 00:19:28,140
in like most of the stuff I do.
330
00:19:28,140 --> 00:19:33,740
If I told everybody, I'd have people say, well, Rabbi, listen, I was praying for you.
331
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:38,540
And that's just too much risk or that can't happen.
332
00:19:38,540 --> 00:19:40,140
I don't need to hear that.
333
00:19:40,140 --> 00:19:41,140
Yeah.
334
00:19:41,140 --> 00:19:47,020
So, you know, and so, you know, anyway, that's that's it.
335
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:48,300
You want to hear some more of these?
336
00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:49,300
Yeah, yeah.
337
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:52,980
Let's do like two more and then we can save these for later.
338
00:19:52,980 --> 00:19:53,980
Okay.
339
00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:55,820
Let me see.
340
00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:56,940
Here's one for you.
341
00:19:56,940 --> 00:20:04,540
The devil would not be attacking you so hard if you didn't have something valuable inside
342
00:20:04,540 --> 00:20:05,540
of you.
343
00:20:05,540 --> 00:20:10,340
A thief doesn't break into an empty house.
344
00:20:10,340 --> 00:20:13,060
So if you're being attacked right now, it's because you know what?
345
00:20:13,060 --> 00:20:14,060
You got the goods.
346
00:20:14,060 --> 00:20:15,480
You're doing something right.
347
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,900
You're doing something right.
348
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:23,500
And I can tell you from from just business experience and personal where you get attacked
349
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:27,620
the most is when you're getting promoted, getting ready to do something big or you just
350
00:20:27,620 --> 00:20:29,260
did something great.
351
00:20:29,260 --> 00:20:31,900
And then it's like payback.
352
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:37,000
So those that's when you have to be on guard at the birth and then at the victory party.
353
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,720
That's when Satan comes.
354
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,480
And here's the last one.
355
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:48,140
Maybe you're holding on to exactly what you need to let go of to move forward.
356
00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:52,860
Man, I mean, like all of those are just nuggets.
357
00:20:52,860 --> 00:20:56,100
Yeah, we can go on.
358
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:57,560
We can get through some more later.
359
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,460
Let's move on to the second principle.
360
00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:00,460
Okay.
361
00:21:00,460 --> 00:21:13,780
So if you ask me like, okay, you're going to go to Wall Street, New York, and you're
362
00:21:13,780 --> 00:21:18,980
going to speak at the UN, you're going to speak at the Knesset, you're going to do whatever.
363
00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:23,340
The Minister of Finance in Israel called and he's going to ask you like a question.
364
00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:27,020
What I'm going to share is what I would share at any one of those venues.
365
00:21:27,020 --> 00:21:30,460
I'm not saying anybody would be interested in having me speak there, but I'm trying to
366
00:21:30,460 --> 00:21:32,500
make a dramatic emphasis here.
367
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:33,860
This is what I would say.
368
00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:37,660
I would say, remember who gives you the power.
369
00:21:37,660 --> 00:21:41,540
Remember, you have to remember.
370
00:21:41,540 --> 00:21:46,780
And here's the scripture from Deuteronomy 8, 18 through 20.
371
00:21:46,780 --> 00:21:54,780
And you shall remember the Lord your God for it is he who gives you power to get wealth.
372
00:21:54,780 --> 00:21:56,020
Why?
373
00:21:56,020 --> 00:22:04,740
That he may establish his covenant, which he swore to your fathers as it is this day.
374
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:12,340
So he gives you wealth to create a testimony that when you choose to follow God and his
375
00:22:12,340 --> 00:22:16,340
ways, he prospers you as a testimony.
376
00:22:16,340 --> 00:22:23,220
And what happens is when you are counterproductive to the prosperity of God, then what happens
377
00:22:23,220 --> 00:22:30,900
is you are actually disallowing God from establishing his covenant in and through you.
378
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:36,780
So these people that come against you for the prosperity, they don't really understand.
379
00:22:36,780 --> 00:22:40,140
They're actually coming against God's covenant.
380
00:22:40,140 --> 00:22:42,300
And I want to be flowing with it.
381
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:44,180
Now here's the warning.
382
00:22:44,180 --> 00:22:51,420
Then it shall be, if by any means you forget the Lord your God and follow other gods such
383
00:22:51,420 --> 00:22:58,380
as man's opinion, fear, doubt, unbelief, pride, arrogance, and serve them and worship them,
384
00:22:58,380 --> 00:23:05,740
I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish as the nations which the Lord
385
00:23:05,740 --> 00:23:07,740
destroyed before you.
386
00:23:07,740 --> 00:23:14,060
You shall perish because you would not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God.
387
00:23:14,060 --> 00:23:18,820
So Darrell, you've worked here for a couple of years now.
388
00:23:18,820 --> 00:23:23,460
Nathan's over there behind the switcher and he's been here about a year and we've got
389
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:25,180
new people.
390
00:23:25,180 --> 00:23:32,060
And so when you see Rabbi do some of the stuff that I do, and I'm not saying you say this,
391
00:23:32,060 --> 00:23:34,540
but man, what's he doing?
392
00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:36,300
Why is he doing that?
393
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:42,740
It's because I sincerely believe and I get confirmation from other prophets and leaders
394
00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:44,460
that I'm supposed to do it.
395
00:23:44,460 --> 00:23:50,720
But the reason I do it, now it goes back to the last podcast in heaven.
396
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:57,740
If I do what the God says and it even doesn't prosper on earth, I will have rewards in heaven.
397
00:23:57,740 --> 00:23:59,820
So that's where my mind goes.
398
00:23:59,820 --> 00:24:06,380
So to really simplify this, if I believe God's done it, I will do, I will put all my might
399
00:24:06,380 --> 00:24:12,420
and do my work onto my hands to answer the call because of this scripture.
400
00:24:12,420 --> 00:24:19,380
Because I do not want to hear from the Lord and the Lord saying, Curtis, did you not read
401
00:24:19,380 --> 00:24:25,500
where it says, then it shall be if by any means you forget the Lord your God and follow
402
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:34,020
other gods such as your own good ideas, your friends, good ideas, what you saw on some
403
00:24:34,020 --> 00:24:36,620
counseling thing and serve them in worship.
404
00:24:36,620 --> 00:24:43,940
So I may not sit down and sing songs to them, but what happens is I speak the fear and doubt.
405
00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:52,700
Well, you know, if I start going down the yeah, but trail, then I'm serving other gods
406
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:58,820
and I want to be, I want to hear well done, good and faithful servant.
407
00:24:58,820 --> 00:25:04,020
So to me, the biggest key is you've got to obey God.
408
00:25:04,020 --> 00:25:09,260
And I will close with this, these nuggets here.
409
00:25:09,260 --> 00:25:15,460
You may make people angry when you start following the goals to grow, because when you fill out
410
00:25:15,460 --> 00:25:21,440
your goals to grow, you're going to, God's going to ask you to do some things that are
411
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,260
beyond yourself so he can supernaturally intervene and get the glory.
412
00:25:26,260 --> 00:25:30,740
And there'll be other people who are not of the same faith or have the same vision.
413
00:25:30,740 --> 00:25:34,660
First of all, don't believe God could use you.
414
00:25:34,660 --> 00:25:37,500
And what happens is it may make them angry.
415
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:42,500
And when you get super serious about following your life goals, you may start losing some
416
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:47,820
friends because you know, I've watched this in our own life.
417
00:25:47,820 --> 00:25:53,400
You'll have friends at one level of social economic relationship and then some at another
418
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,200
level and then you'll have some at another level.
419
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:04,380
As you increase in finance, finance and then you increase in what you can do and not everybody
420
00:26:04,380 --> 00:26:05,980
can travel with you.
421
00:26:05,980 --> 00:26:12,660
So it's one of the sufferings of financially prospering in the Lord is you probably going
422
00:26:12,660 --> 00:26:14,440
to lose some friends.
423
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,220
And you need to understand this, finance doesn't make life easier.
424
00:26:18,220 --> 00:26:20,820
It just makes you stronger and wiser.
425
00:26:20,820 --> 00:26:26,500
And I would say with my book and ties and offerings, my goal is that you can get more
426
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:27,980
done with less.
427
00:26:27,980 --> 00:26:32,020
Doesn't mean you work less, you just work smarter and then you'll have more so that
428
00:26:32,020 --> 00:26:36,900
you can be a better influencer for the kingdom of God so that you can be a part of doing
429
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:40,100
good putting the foolish talk to foolish men to not.
430
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:41,700
I can share this with you.
431
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:46,580
There's nothing better than to be able to give and be part of the solution, particularly
432
00:26:46,580 --> 00:26:53,380
when you're helping those who have absolutely no ability to help themselves.
433
00:26:53,380 --> 00:26:59,900
I think the greatest measure of a man's heart and you were with me when we were interviewing
434
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:07,580
Doran Omag, General Doran Omag and he told me this, he said and we'll close with this.
435
00:27:07,580 --> 00:27:09,700
He went to Harvard.
436
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:16,820
He's a general, he was the Raid Tim Tebby co-commander with Bibi Netanyahu's brother, Yoni.
437
00:27:16,820 --> 00:27:18,300
Yoni actually died in his arms.
438
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:21,860
He's a very smart, decorated war hero.
439
00:27:21,860 --> 00:27:27,460
You were there when we were in his office where Israel began, where the very first government
440
00:27:27,460 --> 00:27:30,900
with David Ben-Gurion, we're in that building, it's his office is there.
441
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:33,100
And he said these words to me.
442
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:37,660
He said, my greatest counselor couldn't speak.
443
00:27:37,660 --> 00:27:42,540
And he said, my greatest counselor taught me the greatest lesson.
444
00:27:42,540 --> 00:27:47,100
He said it was my handicapped son that died at 16.
445
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:54,060
And what he taught me was this, is that the measure of the greatness of a man is his ability
446
00:27:54,060 --> 00:28:00,180
to take care of those who have absolutely no ability to take care of themselves and no
447
00:28:00,180 --> 00:28:03,180
ability to pay you back.
448
00:28:03,180 --> 00:28:05,980
That is a great man.
449
00:28:05,980 --> 00:28:12,740
And man, when he said that, I said to myself, I want to be that great man.
450
00:28:12,740 --> 00:28:20,820
And because of that, he has started two handicapped hospitals for special needs kids in Israel,
451
00:28:20,820 --> 00:28:23,420
one in Beersheba and one in Jerusalem.
452
00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:31,460
And then my biggest honor that day, if you remember, Sam said to Doran, he said, have
453
00:28:31,460 --> 00:28:38,060
you ever met the Christian who helps you with the hospital in Jerusalem?
454
00:28:38,060 --> 00:28:41,580
He said, no, I've never met him.
455
00:28:41,580 --> 00:28:43,700
And he said, well, now you've met him.
456
00:28:43,700 --> 00:28:44,980
You're talking to him right now.
457
00:28:44,980 --> 00:28:47,220
You're talking to him right now.
458
00:28:47,220 --> 00:28:50,300
And remember, we grabbed hands.
459
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:52,440
That was my greatest honor.
460
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:59,520
So if you want the key to biblical finance, you have to have a heart to help those who
461
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:07,180
can't help themselves and have no way, no ability to pay you back.
462
00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:08,900
That's biblical wealth.
463
00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:15,300
Well, if you've made it to the deep end of this episode, we just encourage you if you

All right, Rabbi, 30 seconds lasting thoughts for the listeners and then we'll get out of
471
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:52,100
here.
472
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:53,100
Well, it's got to be.
473
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:57,740
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things shall be added on to
474
00:29:57,740 --> 00:29:58,740
thee.
475
00:29:58,740 --> 00:30:03,500
I will tell you this, please, please, please give God a chance to intervene in your deepest
476
00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:06,540
fears, doubts, sorrows and pains.
477
00:30:06,540 --> 00:30:13,060
And he will not fail you for our God is not a man that he should lie and God is love and
478
00:30:13,060 --> 00:30:15,780
every good and perfect gift comes from above.
479
00:30:15,780 --> 00:30:17,860
So don't ever forget that he loves you.
480
00:30:17,860 --> 00:30:19,200
He created you.
481
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,940
And don't ever forget this, that he gave his only begotten son.
482
00:30:22,940 --> 00:30:24,680
He gave his best.
483
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:31,100
Every drop of blood, every pain that he ever suffered was for you to be able to prosper
484
00:30:31,100 --> 00:30:34,460
and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
485
00:30:34,460 --> 00:30:36,900
That's my prayer for you in Yeshua's name.
486
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:41,300
All right, that'll wrap it up for this episode of the Curt Landry podcast.
487
00:30:41,300 --> 00:30:43,900
Rabbi until next time.
488
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,100
Shalom.
489
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:52,020
It's a new year and a new you.
490
00:30:52,020 --> 00:30:59,180

496
00:31:25,140 --> 00:31:27,300
How do I walk in the spirit?
497
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:30,060
Or how do I do spiritual warfare?
498
00:31:30,060 --> 00:31:33,380
Or how do I believe that I'm more than a conqueror?
499
00:31:33,380 --> 00:31:40,700
Understanding that Matthew 633 positions us for success in this year ahead.
500
00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:45,300
That's seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things will
501
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:46,900
be added on to us.
502
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:50,260
The fruit of the spirit is evident in his covenant.
503
00:31:50,260 --> 00:31:56,980
Know this, that if you can establish his covenant in your heart and in your mind, you will be
504
00:31:56,980 --> 00:32:00,180
successful this coming year.

507

There are some projects that really touch your heart and this is interesting because
508
00:32:20,340 --> 00:32:26,860
our son in law Paul Marcelino, his dad, Yocana Marcelino helped to produce this book and
509
00:32:26,860 --> 00:32:36,180
the whole purpose of this book, Jerusalem Rising, is to be able to bring visual evidence
510
00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:43,100
that Jerusalem and Israel actually belongs to the children of the God of Abraham, Isaac
511
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:50,740
and Jacob, that this is the land of Isaac and the miracle power.
512
00:32:50,740 --> 00:32:57,300
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and this book captures that.
