00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,560
Hello folks, this is Princess. 
You are listening to the 

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:07,760
Millennial Mustard Seed Podcast.
Thanks for listening. 

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,600
Don't forget to share with your 
friends. 

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,920
That's tough. 
We're in a very tough spot. 

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,840
I think that what we're doing 
right now is a great benefit and

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,360
virtue because it's an end 
around between this whole 

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,560
corrupt informational system, 
media system. 

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,040
We claim to believe in a God who
spoke the universe into 

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:33,280
existence and literally raised 
himself from the dead, and yet 

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,360
we're not going to believe that 
anything else exists in the 

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,200
spirit realm, even though His 
word tells us that they do. 

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,640
Their bodies weren't permitted 
to go to sleep like humans do. 

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,920
And they weren't. 
Permitted to go to. 

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,200
Heaven, so they. 
Wander the earth. 

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,360
You know. 
I've seen the eyes turn black. 

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,600
To unknown tongues being spoken.
These giants would love way up 

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,720
in the Highland, the young 
Braves. 

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,800
The young men would hide up in 
the trees and wait for one of 

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,920
these 12 footers to come walking
down the path and they would 

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,120
jump on them and kill them, drag
them back to the village and the

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,760
village would feast on the body 
freedom. 

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Then people start to get 
weapons, they start to get 

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,520
armor, they start to build 
cities, they start to fortify 

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,360
their cities. 
Now God looks down and there's 

25
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,440
violence everywhere. 
The. 

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,640
Battle this war that we. 
Are at is not against each 

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,680
other, it's against these 
principalities and these rulers 

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,280
and these archons in the high. 
Places. 

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,120
It's really worthwhile to read 
the Bible yourself. 

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,160
Fear is one of the primary 
drivers of mind control because 

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,000
we have to take every thought 
captive and resist fear. 

32
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:51,880
You're going to have a testimony
that is a justice case against 

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,480
the Kingdom of. 
Darkness. 

34
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,639
We left off talking about the 
parable of the sower in Matthew 

35
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:18,160
chapter 13 as an explanation or 
an elaboration rather of when we

36
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,800
observe people that seem to walk
away from their faith. 

37
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,320
And again, to clarify, this is 
not going through a rough patch 

38
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,560
in your faith or a season of 
sin, as we've all had those 

39
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,880
issues. 
This is more of an about face 

40
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,640
dramatically turning the other 
way and saying, God, I don't 

41
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:40,520
want anything to do with you any
longer. 

42
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:48,200
And one of the questions that we
left off with as we are titling 

43
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:54,480
this series, Rethinking Eternal 
Security, is talking about that 

44
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,160
third type of soil in that 
parable that falls amongst the 

45
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,000
thorns, where it says that it 
didn't produce fruit because the

46
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,960
cares of the world and the 
riches of the world and the 

47
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,680
deceitfulness of those things 
choked it out. 

48
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,680
So you can think of that person 
as not walking by the spirit, 

49
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,840
but walking by the soul and 
their faith withered. 

50
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,760
So we kind of left off with what
is that person saved? 

51
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,200
I mean, it just says they didn't
produce fruit. 

52
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,520
And we don't want to think about
workspace salvation. 

53
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,640
So do we have to produce fruit? 
That's a tricky one. 

54
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:37,000
I'm going to let you guys kind 
of wrestle with that on your 

55
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,320
own. 
But as a reference, right out of

56
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,920
the book of Matthew in Chapter 
7, Rod, we have another parable 

57
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,600
that might answer that. 
Can you go through that? 

58
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:59,240
Matthew 7 verse 16 through 20. 
By their fruit you will 

59
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,000
recognize them. 
Do people pick grapes from thorn

60
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,840
Bush or figs from Thistle? 
Likewise, every good tree bears 

61
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,200
good fruit, but a bad tree bears
bad fruit. 

62
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,200
A good tree cannot bear good 
fruit, and a bad tree cannot 

63
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,960
bear good fruit. 
Every tree that does not bear 

64
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,320
good fruit is cut down and 
thrown into the fire. 

65
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Thus, by their fruit you will 
recognize them. 

66
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,600
So just looking at that one 
scripture, it does seem to 

67
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,320
suggest that while we don't have
to have a minimum amount of 

68
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,920
fruit, that would be workspace 
salvation. 

69
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:51,720
If the soil of our heart is has 
allowed the word of God to come 

70
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,280
in and change us and the Holy 
Spirit is in US and changing us,

71
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,640
there will be a fruit as an 
evidence for that. 

72
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,600
And I think this parable kind of
bears that out and. 

73
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,640
I'll just kinda just comment 
with this real quick. 

74
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,680
So in Galatians, it runs side by
side with what we're reading 

75
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,240
right here in Matthew 7. 
And the flush is, is contrary to

76
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,360
the spirit. 
They're in conflict with each 

77
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,400
other. 
But in Galatians it, it mentions

78
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,520
if you are led by the spirit 
that you're not under the law. 

79
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,280
And the acts of the flesh are 
obvious. 

80
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:35,840
It says, you know, there's 
sexual immorality, impurity, 

81
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,800
debauchery, idolatry, 
witchcraft, hatred, all these 

82
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,000
different things are listed out.
And it says that you will not 

83
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,720
inherit the Kingdom of God if 
you're operating in these, but 

84
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:52,680
the fruit of the Spirit is love 
and joy and peace and kindness, 

85
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,440
goodness, faithfulness. 
And, and against those such 

86
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,200
things there is no law. 
Those who belong to Christ Jesus

87
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:05,120
have crucified the flesh and its
passions and desires, and 

88
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,120
they're living by the Spirit. 
And I think that there's just 

89
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,000
another good way that it, it 
fits together with this idea of 

90
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,400
what kind of soil are you? 
And are you once saved, always 

91
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,520
saved? 
And why do you have to work it 

92
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,000
out with fear and trembling? 
Why are we working out our 

93
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,560
salvation? 
And I just, as you zoom out, I 

94
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,760
could go on and on, but I'll 
pass it back to you because it 

95
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,960
just fits together and becomes 
more deeper and thorough as we 

96
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,880
actually take the whole counsel 
of God's Word. 

97
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,840
So kind of the thing that 
spurred this whole mini series 

98
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:46,000
and the thing that I felt the 
Holy Spirit was showing me was 

99
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,040
for all of the people that make 
a good argument from Scripture 

100
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,560
on eternal security. 
And then those that perhaps 

101
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,160
equally make a good argument 
that no, you, you have to 

102
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:07,520
maintain your faith in order to 
be saved and you can possibly 

103
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,000
fall away. 
Not like you lost your 

104
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,440
salvation, like you lost your 
car keys, right? 

105
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,360
Like you had a bad week of 
sinning and God, you know, 

106
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,000
kicked you out of the house. 
Not like that, but like we were 

107
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,640
explaining before about 
literally making that about face

108
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,040
away from God and saying enough,
I'm I'm not believing in you 

109
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,720
anymore. 
That sort of walking away and 

110
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,080
what was kind of an epiphany and
I'm hoping it's correct. 

111
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,280
I'm hoping it's from God as I 
want you guys to kind of 

112
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,760
evaluate this prayerfully and 
look at Scripture. 

113
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:53,080
But I felt like God was showing 
me that both sides of that 

114
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:59,680
equation are actually correct. 
They're both correct, but both 

115
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,840
of them don't have the whole 
picture. 

116
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,360
And all of the verses that seem 
to suggest one side versus the 

117
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,280
other actually can work in 
harmony. 

118
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,960
And so as we go through this 
series, we're going to try to 

119
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:23,880
unpack that from our vantage 
point and kind of flesh out 

120
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,880
these ideas and let you evaluate
them with us. 

121
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,400
So is there a difference between
once saved, always saved and 

122
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,120
eternal security? 
Those terms are thrown about, 

123
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,799
conflated with one another, used
interchangeably. 

124
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:48,400
What might the difference be? 
Well, in my opinion, I think 

125
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,600
that eternal security has to do 
with the faithfulness of God. 

126
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:00,560
And once saved, always saved is 
more about the faithfulness of 

127
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,560
the person. 
Now you could say the same thing

128
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:07,200
for both. 
You could say, well, 

129
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,680
faithfulness is required for 
either and faithfulness of God 

130
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,000
is required for either. 
And that's true. 

131
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,840
But let's just make this 
distinction just for the sake of

132
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,200
understanding that all the 
verses that seem to point to 

133
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:30,520
eternal security are saying are 
talking about how faithful God 

134
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,360
is. 
And in a future mini episode, 

135
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,880
we're going to unpack that and 
look at those verses. 

136
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,560
Once saved, always saved is a 
little bit of a different slant.

137
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:48,720
You might say it is 95% truth 
with a little bit of demonic 

138
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:54,640
error mixed in. 
If you'll permit that analogy, 

139
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:02,120
what is the error? 
You could go on what people used

140
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,880
to call Christian Twitter or X 
and look at people's comments 

141
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,880
who are rabid ideologues when it
comes to once saved, always 

142
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,120
saved. 
I've seen quotes going so far as

143
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,200
you can literally do that about 
face, shake your fist at God and

144
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,120
still end up in heaven and live 
like the devil for the rest of 

145
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,400
your life and still end up in 
heaven. 

146
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,360
That's the kind of once saved, 
always saved that I think is a 

147
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,920
deception where if you had a 
genuine profession of faith and 

148
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,160
you really meant it, that 
somehow you're locked in, you're

149
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,800
born again and you can't be 
unborn again. 

150
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:55,120
I think eternal security, on the
other hand, talks about this, 

151
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:04,240
the robustness of salvation from
God's side, his faithfulness. 

152
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,000
And again, we're going to unpack
that further in another episode,

153
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,280
but I'll throw it to Rod for any
comments on that. 

154
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:21,000
This is the meat, you know, It's
really humbling to evaluate 

155
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,640
ourselves. 
You know, the word says if any 

156
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,640
man think he is, he is saved and
strong, Let him evaluate himself

157
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,880
lest he fall. 
Kind of paraphrasing that in my 

158
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,800
own way. 
But this is good for all of us 

159
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,320
to really dig in and chew on 
some meat and to wrestle through

160
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,640
these deep concepts and to be 
encouraged knowing that you're 

161
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,840
not alone. 
We can ask these questions 

162
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,840
together and we can seek it out 
in the word of truth that is 

163
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:55,640
settled in heaven, and we can 
rely on God's goodness and His 

164
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,400
grace and mercy to allow that 
season to come to pass for all 

165
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,480
the growth and the learning that
is necessary for such deep 

166
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,640
topics. 
It's an honor to be with you 

167
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,120
again, Pete, for another mini. 
And as the series go on, I'm 

168
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,000
encouraged and challenged in the
best way. 

169
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:22,320
Yeah, as always. 
So on the next mini episode, 

170
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,520
we're going to look at the next 
section where we left off in 

171
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:33,360
Matthew 7, taking a little bit 
of a detour of this topic of 

172
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,080
eternal security. 
Not entirely a detour, but a 

173
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,480
little bit of a sidebar with 
what many have termed the 

174
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:47,840
scariest verses in the Bible. 
Not everyone who says Lord, Lord

175
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,680
will inherit the Kingdom. 
So with that we will leave off. 

176
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,280
See you next time guys. 
God bless. 

177
00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:22,400
I came from the sun, straight 
from the Evans. 

178
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,560
He really owed me. 
All in my life I was beating up.

179
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,040
All in my life I didn't handle. 
All in my life I was stuck in on

180
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,320
track. 
All in my life I didn't handle 

181
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,560
rat. 
I didn't know why my life was so

182
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:37,760
wet. 
I didn't know why my life was a 

183
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,240
rat. 
I didn't know why I couldn't get

184
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,560
up. 
I was so stuck. 

185
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:43,800
And the monkey was stuck till I 
found out. 

186
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,920
And I broke everything until I 
fell down. 

187
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,920
And they took everything until I
was hurting my heart and 

188
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,680
restrained. 
Yeah, I was broken. 

189
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:52,720
I had all this pain held on 
home. 

190
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,760
It got harder than this hope. 
Then I would dip to the side in 

191
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,160
this mode. 
I had no truth but to look to my

192
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,520
guy. 
He gave me stomach up, open my 

193
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:01,920
eyes. 
He gave me earrings. 

194
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,800
And he told me I'm blessed. 
He told me he just believe in 

195
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,000
this time. 
I told him I can't change all of

196
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,760
my ways. 
He said I got you. 

197
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,680
Just look at this. 
I looked at him and he showed me

198
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:13,880
his ways. 
Then he just told me how I am 

199
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,120
this time. 
See he just told me I'm not in 

200
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,960
this world. 
He told me I come from the 

201
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,040
heavens above. 
I'm a new creature. 

202
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,120
I come from the sun, from the 
one and only straight from the 

203
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,520
heavens. 
You really owe me. 

204
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,680
I came from the sun. 
I was really with him. 

205
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,200
And heavenly places I'm sealing.
Y'all can't even go that way. 

206
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,320
Y'all don't even know that way. 
Y'all want to play like Patty 

207
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,280
Kat but this ain't no game. 
But it's not right. 

208
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,160
You wipe this on fake when you 
walk under me and I know you're 

209
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,200
a snake. 
You think you can beat me but 

210
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,320
you got nobody you want in a 
way. 

211
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,880
I take out that chopper, I'll 
put on your chopper and I'll 

212
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,080
prank on your face. 
I see you laughing. 

213
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,280
You think that you got me but 
you got no way. 

214
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,480
The evil you said for my life is
OK because it's made for my 

215
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,120
good. 
My God is created. 

216
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,360
He created you so you really is 
cooked. 

217
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,160
I said all these things because 
I know what is true and you know

218
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:14,360
you is cooked, but like I did 
Cage, you can never when I know 

219
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,600
the things that's going to 
happen to you when you die. 

220
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,200
You didn't live in your life 
because you know you can never 

221
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,640
go and get saved. 
You know his crazy, his mercy 

222
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,720
was took from you when you're my
son in the plot. 

223
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,800
Thought you could take on my 
God's spot now, but you can die 

224
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,440
hot. 
You was really tweaking. 

225
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,600
I come from the sun, from the 
one and only straight from the 

226
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,000
heavens. 
You really owe me. 

227
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,560
I came from the sun. 
I was really with him and 

228
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,280
heavenly places I'm still 
living.
