• 0:01
  Hello, folks, this is Princess, you are listening to the
• 0:04
  millennial Mustard Seed, pod casts.
• 0:06
  Thanks for listening. Don't forget to share with your
• 0:09
  friends. I stopped wearing a very tough
• 0:12
  spot. I think that what we're doing
• 0:15
  right now is a great benefit and virtue because it's an
• 0:19
  end-around between this whole corrupt informational system
• 0:24
  media system. We claim to believe in a God who
• 0:27
  spoke the universe into existence and literally raised
• 0:30
  himself from the dead. And yet, we're not going to
• 0:34
  believe that anything else exists in the spirit realm, even
• 0:37
  though his word tells us that they do, Their bodies weren't
• 0:41
  permitted to go to sleep, like, humans do, and they weren't
• 0:45
  permitted to go to heaven. So they wander the Earth, you
• 0:49
  know, I've seen the eyes turned black to unknown tongues being
• 0:53
  spoken. These Giants would love way up
• 0:56
  behind the of graves. The young man was hide, have
• 1:00
  been the trees away for one of these, twelve Footers to come
• 1:03
  walking down the back and they would jump on Dragon back.
• 1:15
  Then people start to get weapons, they start to get
• 1:17
  armor, they start to build cities, they social fortify
• 1:19
  their cities. Now, God looks down and there's
• 1:22
  violence everywhere. The Is war that we are at is not
• 1:27
  against each other. It's against these
• 1:29
  principalities in these rulers in, these are cons in the high
• 1:32
  places. It's really worthwhile to read
• 1:34
  the Bible yourself, fear is one of the primary drivers of mind
• 1:39
  control because we have to take every thought, captive and
• 1:43
  resist fear. You're going to have a testimony
• 1:49
  that is a Justice case against the kingdom of darkness.
• 2:11
  Welcome back to ease of edification.
• 2:13
  I got a really quick. Awesome message for you here
• 2:17
  with Pastor Sean, Carter. We just ask each other a couple
• 2:20
  questions it's encouraging, its edifying and important and I'm
• 2:25
  so ready to jump into this. He's of edification quick
• 2:29
  message. Let's go.
• 2:42
  Hey, this is Pastor Shawn Carter, glad to have you with us
• 2:45
  on the Millennium Mustard Seed, pod cast.
• 2:49
  This is the edifying short version, glad to have you so on.
• 2:54
  It's awesome to connect with you, man.
• 2:56
  I'm so excited about this many short series man, and I'm glad
• 3:00
  to be here with you ride. Just glad to share the God's
• 3:03
  word, and there's be able to talk about Out the things that
• 3:06
  we're going to talk about and hopefully help people out here
• 3:09
  today. Absolutely, man, somebody said
• 3:11
  something recently that we're over entertaining, we need more
• 3:15
  edification and I was like, yeah, we do bear each other's
• 3:21
  burdens and so fulfill the law because that's we don't want to
• 3:24
  see that absolute. So, with this edification
• 3:26
  series, man, what is the best thing that's happened within the
• 3:29
  last few months or a few years even?
• 3:32
  Well, you know, for some people don't know that I've been
• 3:36
  involved. I've been helping people come
• 3:37
  out of the occult and paranormal Community for years, and in just
• 3:43
  being able to work in that kind of ministry and be a full-time.
• 3:46
  Pastor. Most of my life, it's been just
• 3:49
  a great opportunity but the last few months have been really
• 3:53
  great to. I've been able to baptize 7
• 3:57
  folks in the past few months and some of them are just people
• 4:01
  that, you know, been praying for for for many years and just
• 4:05
  seeing at the The Lord is moving and watching and taking care of
• 4:10
  people and God is still on the throne and still in the
• 4:13
  Salvation process. That's that's probably one of
• 4:17
  the greatest things as far as personally happening to me is
• 4:19
  just being able to be a part of that Ministry and seeing those
• 4:24
  people come to the Lord and disciple them and take them on
• 4:28
  that Journey. You get to see them reinvent
• 4:32
  themselves who most we common, we lay it all down and the
• 4:35
  baptismal help soil. How many of the listeners here
• 4:40
  around the world? Know someone who got baptized
• 4:42
  recently. If you guys want to leave a
• 4:43
  comment on the webpage and interact with this mini short
• 4:47
  series and leave me some feedback.
• 4:50
  Sean what is the biggest battle that you faced recently doing
• 4:56
  the Lord's work? Well here recently is It's been
• 5:01
  just hate to say this but a lot of the splash back or what I
• 5:05
  call Splash back from a lot of the Christian Ministries.
• 5:09
  It seems like churches are more concerned with trying to look
• 5:14
  like the world and entice people to come to church.
• 5:17
  And that's not what were called to do.
• 5:20
  We're not called to entice, were called to preach and teach the
• 5:23
  word of God. And, and one of the things
• 5:26
  that's just been in my car, all lately, I guess you can say is
• 5:29
  Is is just dealing with Ministries that are more
• 5:32
  concerned with people coming to church, then people coming to
• 5:36
  Christ. And, and that discipleship
• 5:39
  process and dealing with Deliverance Ministries that want
• 5:43
  to just see a Deliverance or have that entertainment value.
• 5:49
  Kind of like what you said, well ago, you know, they, they want
• 5:51
  to be entertained, but they don't want to disciple, they
• 5:54
  don't want to do the hard work. So it's some of the things
• 5:58
  that's just kind of been the It's time for me to deal with
• 6:00
  here in the last few months. What would be your advice to any
• 6:04
  pastors or Christians that will be listening to this micro
• 6:08
  series about how to overcome that obstacle?
• 6:12
  Well, the biggest thing is get in, first of all, get into words
• 6:15
  yourself and I'm not talking about trying to figure out how
• 6:18
  to sales pitch. I'm talking about learning what
• 6:22
  the Bible says about depression. And because we have people in
• 6:29
  our congregation Corrugations, we have people out and our
• 6:32
  neighbors are nice neighborhood and I were places there are
• 6:36
  suffering, depression, anxiety. And the Bible has those answers.
• 6:41
  We can share with them how the Bible teaches us as Christians
• 6:47
  to cast our cares upon Him. How to deal with a lot of these
• 6:52
  issues and whether it's anxiety, depression, or even addiction
• 6:57
  instead, a lot of the churches are Icing off to and I
• 7:01
  understand some of this but they're passing off the drug
• 7:05
  addictions or passing off the depressions to medical
• 7:09
  professionals and the medical medical professionals.
• 7:12
  And even the psychologist and I work alongside of a lot of
• 7:15
  different psychologists they call me and I call them
• 7:19
  sometimes and they will even tell you that a lot of what's
• 7:23
  going on, just in a professional field, is not dealing with the
• 7:27
  actual root of the problems of depression.
• 7:29
  And they're basically just drugging them in hoping that
• 7:33
  time goes by and whatever's happened, they'll heal from in
• 7:37
  that that's happened. Stance.
• 7:39
  Will the church has the answer? So the first thing is is just
• 7:44
  learn what the Bible has to say about the spiritual Concepts.
• 7:47
  That deal with everyday life that people are experiencing, we
• 7:52
  need to share the gospel. We need to get out there but we
• 7:55
  also have we also have the life, you know, we Have life.
• 8:00
  In our words are the Bible's full of life and there's much
• 8:03
  more to it and so bringing the Salvation brain Deliverance, but
• 8:08
  at the same time, teaching each person in and having an
• 8:12
  understanding of how to do life, every day is probably one of the
• 8:16
  most important things, and don't be afraid to speak up, you know,
• 8:21
  speak up and and talk about God, talk about spiritual things in
• 8:26
  the break room and don't be afraid to pray with.
• 8:29
  People in for people. And so there's a lot I'd unpack
• 8:33
  to stayed right there, but we can impact a lot of it as we go
• 8:36
  along. So that's very well said.
• 8:40
  And it gets to a my opinion. One of the root of the issues is
• 8:43
  just the humility to come together and deal with the
• 8:48
  relevant issues that each one of us face on the day-to-day grind.
• 8:53
  What is your favorite Bible verse?
• 8:56
  I think mine would probably be Revelations. 20.
• 9:01
  I forgot the actual reference number there, but talks about
• 9:05
  the I don't know if I can narrow it down to one out of that, but
• 9:10
  that God will wipe away all the tears and God would wouldn't be
• 9:15
  will be his people. That's the hope I'm looking for
• 9:17
  the time of the Resurrection, the time of when everything is
• 9:21
  taken care of, and that's one of the things I really kind of look
• 9:24
  forward to that brings me hope every day.
• 9:27
  Absolutely, what's your favorite Bible verse?
• 9:29
  Guess I'd have to say, is the shortest verse in the Bible and
• 9:32
  it would be he wept. Yeah.
• 9:35
  And I think that it brings for me, the reminder of the human,
• 9:42
  the humanity side of the Christ of the Messiah, God In the
• 9:45
  Flesh. But a lot of the times we see
• 9:47
  throughout at least history and even modern days, you see like
• 9:50
  the holier-than-thou can't be touched Jesus, who's, like
• 9:53
  glowing up in the air and that's true.
• 9:56
  But the reason he did that was because he came Year and lived a
• 10:01
  perfect sinless, life In the Flesh.
• 10:03
  And we're all flushed and we all Wrestle and we all week at time,
• 10:08
  so like that, when I realized that was the shortest verse in
• 10:10
  the Bible and I read that I wanted to weep because I felt it
• 10:16
  for a second that he knows exactly what I feel like, I
• 10:20
  don't feel so distant. It doesn't feel so far away now
• 10:23
  because the one who made it all understands one of the most
• 10:27
  common things. Unfortunately, we See today,
• 10:30
  which is a lot of weeping. Absolutely.
• 10:33
  Absolutely. Well, is your podcaster and I
• 10:37
  kind of come from the background of YouTube and just doing basic
• 10:42
  Ministry, out here from your point of view, from a, from your
• 10:46
  life experiences. And what do you see that the
• 10:49
  church needs to do better? You've got a pasture on the line
• 10:53
  here with me right now. You know, what would you like to
• 10:56
  tell the pastures in the church to do better?
• 11:02
  If we don't have love. Everything else?
• 11:05
  We bring to the table is worthless.
• 11:08
  The scriptures tell us that we can have information out.
• 11:13
  The Wazoo. We can have numbers huge
• 11:16
  congregations, we can have so much money that we stopped
• 11:20
  counting at 10,000 hats for. But if we don't have love, it's
• 11:25
  worthless. First forgiveness of yourself or
• 11:30
  holding ourselves back because we think we need to be perfect
• 11:33
  in order to come to the church. We think we need to like walk to
• 11:36
  get rid of all these sins before I show up and and just the
• 11:40
  transparency of and I know you do a really good job with this.
• 11:43
  But this is for all the pastors that listen, if my advice is
• 11:46
  even considered in humility, I literally say through my own
• 11:51
  obstacles and difficulties with some of the content I choose to
• 11:54
  cover. It would just be Leti and that
• 11:57
  love portion where it's like I'm not worried about.
• 12:01
  If you have a hat on when you walk in I'm not worried about if
• 12:05
  you know your big Burly guy with some tattoos or if you're of a
• 12:09
  different color or language, right?
• 12:12
  It worried about letting you know that I feel what you're
• 12:16
  going through. I've been there.
• 12:18
  None of us are exempt and there's a place here.
• 12:23
  For you. You as you are as you're coming.
• 12:27
  And that God loves you and he's the one who works in us and
• 12:31
  through us the body of Christ, in order for his will to come
• 12:34
  about. I think that's like, you know,
• 12:37
  it's a simple message but but it's absolutely, absolutely,
• 12:42
  absolutely. I see that quite a bit.
• 12:44
  You know, we is I said I work with people from the streets or
• 12:49
  work with people. In one of the things that I
• 12:52
  think are churches has been trying to do is for congregation
• 12:57
  Purrs. You know, we've been doing a lot
• 12:59
  of work out in the community and we do a roadside Prayer
• 13:03
  Ministry, every so often where we just go out and we set up a
• 13:07
  sign, we sit beside the road and the signs.
• 13:10
  Pretty much say stop, and we will pray for you.
• 13:12
  And our goal is not to fill the church up at that moment or the
• 13:16
  to get them to come to church. But rather to deal with the
• 13:22
  people and in, right where they're at and how praying for
• 13:26
  them? For the rad and experiencing the
• 13:29
  pain. You know, I was praying with the
• 13:32
  young lady, the other day we were outside the road and she
• 13:36
  pulled in, it's just had lost her grandmother.
• 13:39
  She just had found out that her mother had cancer and man you
• 13:43
  just, you just felt, you know, felt for this young lady.
• 13:48
  And so we and the ladies that were nearby, we just gathered
• 13:51
  around her and and just prayed for her.
• 13:54
  And and she actually wrote A letter back to the church and
• 13:59
  just was so grateful because she had never heard and had anybody
• 14:04
  to pray for her. You know that like we did that
• 14:08
  day and she didn't live around here but she just was passing
• 14:14
  through but it was that God ordained time and so I think
• 14:18
  it's so true. What you just said you know, you
• 14:20
  kind of go from here. I want you guys to challenge
• 14:24
  your friends, your family members, the people you Go to
• 14:27
  church with to have a more open conversation with Christ, being
• 14:32
  the center of it. The Bible says that we are to
• 14:37
  come together and dwell in unity.
• 14:40
  What are we doing to make that a reality?
• 14:46
  I'm edified by hearing your perspective showing your a
• 14:49
  unique Pastor because you really just dig into the word, trust
• 14:53
  God through the process. If you're a black belt, in the
• 14:57
  physical world and in the spiritual world, thank you so
• 15:00
  much for having me, edifying, each other, slowing down and
• 15:04
  taking the time to deal with the serious issues.
