Deep Waters

Kenneth Shelton

Deep Waters is about understanding and how to apply what's in the Bible. We need the absolute revelation, not interpretation, of God's written voice. Bible and ministry ignorance is one of the greatest plagues we are facing today, (also known as the Laodicean Church age) and I have the most earnest desire to eradicate this plague from our earthly church today. If you want entry level Bible teaching, or no teaching at all then you can attend your local church, but if you want to get to know God, yes really get to know Him intimately then stay tuned into this podcast and get ready to cast off your arm floaties. No, not all churches are missing it, but in saying this, I challenge you to find one that operates as them ol' preacher boys did in the book of Acts. This ministry isn't trying to get the attention of our Lord Jesus by being the biggest most glamorous, most relevant for today's culture church the heavenly host has ever cast their eyes upon. We are after the one's that know that they know, that they know, there has to be more than what most churches are chatting about in these times. And where, by God, is the power that is to accompany the preachers preach? Christian peeps it is time to pluck our Christian heads out of the sands of inefficiencies and ineffectiveness and join our Lord in the battle on the surface of this earth. The Podcast Preacher challenges you to get lit for God and to listen to these messages and remain the same as you are when you first tuned in. This will be impossible if you are bent on your God obligated Christian activities and calling. Video's and books will come in there time but for now I guarantee you will not remain as you are if you engage in these messages. The Podcast Preacher is called, appointed, and anointed to help you grow. I have been given the gift of Teacher and it is flowing in and pouring out to all who can hear and see what the Lord is doing these days.  A final word to the wise: you will hear things that you will not hear in more than 95% of today’s churches, and that is fine, that is why God is always using the uncommon man to move His church forward. Each of the more than 470 messages is fully supported by scripture so that you can do your own research and look into these things that God is saying during these no doubt end times. This is not an end times ministry, it is teaching, a getting to know God intimately ministry. It is a ministry of encouragement and of accelerated spiritual growth. The only promise that we can make is if you, yes it is, if you hear and do what is in these messages then normal goes out the window. This is Bible confirmed and backed by the good fruit of this ministry.  1 Cor 3:1-3 - 3 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?  Much love - your Podcast Preacher

    Pharmacy Induced Toxicology And Healing Miracle Testimony

    Send us a text Ok so let’s address the pending accusational response to this message from those who depend on the pharmaceutical drug dealer to keep them leashed to toxins. Oh that start is sure to invoke a response that might could resurrect the cancel culture. Am I against Doctors, nurses, hospitals, clinics, and such? No, by God we need them, but for who are they for if you are a reader, seer, and a doer of the word of God. Just who is this industry for? Is God behind the partially corrupt industry? Ah, but facts be that as they are 5.5 trillion dollars went to feed the pharmaceutical industry during COVID, so if you wonder as I do, what that money could have been used for had it been slated to solve actual problems instead of creating them, we can see that using the words “partially corrupt” is a kind and a deflated definition for an industry that counts on fear, manipulation, and unbelieving and doubting Christians and regular non-believing people to exist.  Oh, that’s a lot of hubbub to kick off a sort of controversial topic such as the pharmacy toxin dispensing industry such as the one we have in America. But I have support and reason for my one-sided position of which you should hang around, and if afterwards you have heard the whole message, you can then determine if you want to change your insurance carrier from Blue Cross to the Cross or not.  Boop, yup, here we go. So, Pharmacy is also termed Pharmakeia or Sorcery. Sorcery is used in the bible only six times; twice in the Old Testament and 4-times in the New Testament. And but most would associate it with witchcraft thinking that they are one and the same thing. But wait let’s look: Numbers 23:23 - “For there is no sorcery against Jacob, Nor any divination against Israel. It now must be said of Jacob And of Israel, ‘Oh, what God has done!’ 2 Chronicles 33:6 - Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. Rev 18:23 - The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Pre-Prayer Planned Excuse Development

    Send us a text Do you have an excuse prepared in advance regarding the prayers you are currently praying, before you receive a response? I say that you will know by what you do next after you hear that God is going to grant you your request. Now let's see if we have an example of this in the Bible. We will see what Luke and James have to say about this way of thinking: We will start with some background scripture so as to avoid the, ”What is Podcast Preacher talk ‘in bout now”, comment: Luke 1:5-6 - 5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. Luke 1:7 – 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years. Luke 1:13-14 – 13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. Luke 1:18 - 18 And Zacharias said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.” So now let’s breakdown this story about Zacharias and Elizabeth and see how it pertains to the thought that it is possible to work up and even rehearse unbelief, even but especially before we actually pray. And but if we do, do this then the question remains, why pray at all if we expect a no-show and a no-speaky from God.  And but also since this is a shorty-message I just want to be sure that this message gets on your radar as something we can do even in what we think is our own special clowd of faith. Keep in mind the scripture defines this couple as, “righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.” Ha, if anyone would have expected God to respond it should have been Zacharias who had the correct heavenly pedigree. I say this because 2026 is coming around and it is time for you to pray as if you actually expected God to respond. Lay down your expectations for how He will respond only be open to Him and to His response in and through His methods.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Sun, Moon, Stars, And Seas

    Send us a text Poof. What? Ha, yes poof. Let’s talk about this for a moment. What is going to be so different from this world and the new heaven and the new earth? I mean what is the appeal for those who are still indecisive or at this point in time choosing this world over one that is 100% all-beef patty good. Ha, no like free of everything evil. We will do a comparative list just so you get the impact of the full exchange of the life Jesus offers you. This for that. It’s simple. Rotten for great, polluted for pure, evil for perfection, pride for humility, and so on and so forth. Ok but so perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself. Oh well but not yet. First lets take a look at the great exchange scriptures so that we can paint a perfect picture of what is at stake: Google A.I. states “The Bible states "new heaven and a new earth" in Revelation 21:1 and Isaiah 66:22. It is also mentioned in Isaiah 65:17 and 2 Peter 3:13. These passages describe a future state of renewed creation where God will dwell with His people”.  Revelation 21:1: "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea".Isaiah 66:22: "For just as the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me, declares the Lord, so will your offspring and your name endure".Isaiah 65:17: "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind".2 Peter 3:13: "But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells". Ok so this is a simplistic view of what is to come but in truth these are just elements created by God for us. The most significant change is human behavior. Ha, yup but yes it is. All corruptible things are brought about by our existing human behavior. So in a strange analogy, imagine the entirety of all humanity being saved on this planet. Now though I do not believe it is possible as then the choice to choose between a life of sin and one of righteousness would not exist. At least not to the measure it does now. Love could not be fully expressed without a love-contradiction. In a strange way good would not be so appreciated without the presence of evil, peace would not be the main objective of humanity without the existence of wars.  So the problem is our appetite for extreme selfishness to oneself. Oh we have trickery up our sleaves and try to hide our hideous selves in the shadows of darkness from others least they see who we really are. Oh imagine of we could really read each others thoughts and but even though you knew you had this ability, no one else ever knew that anyone else had that ability. Strange right. But really think about how shocked we would be to see in the secret dark places of the minds of others. Everyone able to see everyone else’s thoughts but never for a minute thinking that there own thoughts could be read. Sounds like a movie but in truth even though we cannot do this, God can and we will be invited to a heavenly CEO meeting where we will have to give an account of those hidden thoughts and behaviors.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Would Jesus Have Been Considered A Conspiracy Theorist By Todays Definition?

    Send us a text Would Jesus Have Been Considered A Conspiracy Theorist By Todays Definition? Let’s D-Com it:           Conspiracy Theorist:  Ok so well, we have a new look in dictionary.com and but what is interesting is that they have included the word or words you are seeking definition on in sentences. I believe that these statements are statements that were actually made; direct quotes to be more specific:           Example Sentences Examples are provided to illustrate real-world usage of words in context. Any opinions expressed do not reflect the views of Dictionary.com. ·       Making an unstable and unpredictable conspiracy theorist into a neo-maverick liberal hero because she agrees with you on one thing is risky business. o   From Slate ·       This is far from the first and won’t be the last time Mr. Carlson hosts an anti-Jewish or anti-American conspiracy theorist for a supportive, promotional chat. o   From The Wall Street Journal ·       Her co-accused Karen Spragg - who the prosecution called a conspiracy theorist - was cleared. o   From BBC ·       Right-wing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer went on a X tirade, warning that an “Islamic takeover of America is in full swing.” o   From Salon Ok so wow, people say the darndest things right? Ha, but a toilet is cleaner than the words that can and are spoken out of the mouths of many of us today. But I am not the tidy-bowl man so I leave that flush for another time. Now as we go through a couple of scripture bodies look at what is being said as if you were just listening to a guy standing on the street corner, or someone in a school library speaking on these things. This whole message is revealing these days, what has, is, and will be coming and what is intended to knock you off of your God path so that you lose your faith and love for God (Luke 18:8, Matt 24:12). Ok so but before I get headlong into it, ask yourself how is it that Matthew and Luke are speaking so accurately about the leanness of the narrow path of authentically born-again believers: Matt 7:13-14 - 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Luke 13:23-24 - 23 Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Call me crazy, but many will not make it to the 4th of the seven raptures because someone called them crazy and they didn’t like it. They rather would have it that people saw and defined them as “normal”, and please don’t ask me to define what that is because Jesus already did. So because the cares of the world trumped being and acting like a real Christian, a tribulation they will go. Now we go on to what I think people use to define the craziness of Christianity:... https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Like Rungs On A Ladder

    Send us a text Vision for the timeline of God and Prophesy are determined and based in part on which rung of the ladder you are standing on. Not all believers have the same God vision as we are all in different places with Him. This is important to say because what happens is that we fall into the idea-trap that we are smarter than others without a full and complete assessment of where they are with God. I will tell you a mystery that is usually excluded from the judgement calculation used by the rambunctious little Christian kidletts.  Matt 6:5-7 - “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. There was once a guy who was challenged by a Pastor and invited to a prayer meeting. Oh the Pastor thought he might just well pray that Evangelist right under the table. Oh now come on, you know that you yourself may have been inclined to impress someone or a group at a prayer meeting in that you could, you know, pray real good prayers, and since no one waited around to see if those prayers would ever get answered, it may well have just been assumed, that the exotic prayer from you was good enough, and that there would be no way that God would overlook such an oratorical display and simply ignore such requests. Ha, but not in this prayer meeting. You see the Evangelist had a secret place prayer time in which no one was invited, and it was in such a place that he got ahold of Gods heart and would get God responses. Gods presence would show up and all the while, no one was there to see the display given in private. Oh they saw the secret-place-prayers manifest in public ministry and this is why the secret place holds all the value within your personal relationship with God. So the Evangelist showed up last to the prayer meeting as it must have been thought that perhaps, given the Evangelist reputation, they should get a jump start you know as if this was a contest to see who knows God better. Korah and his clan along with Meriam and Arron attempted to play the same game. You can read all about it in Numbers chapter 12 and 16. Now they were all making their usual prayer noises which is common amongst those who think God is deaf. But when the Evangelist, who by practice, brought his secret place with him, started to pray, one by one they crawled out of the “public prayer room” until know one was left but the Evangelist. Smith Wigglesworth probably knew was these game-player Pastors were up to and though it would be a good idea to use the opportunity to humble them. Whether it worked or not was not disclosed in the story but perhaps by our hearing the story it will help us.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

  6. Why Share Testimonies – Financial Breakthrough

    NOV 26

    Why Share Testimonies – Financial Breakthrough

    Send us a text This is just one more testimony of a financial breakthrough that God had thought of and sent to me to invoke. Now I will have to provide some background as this is a testimony journey that has sub-testimonies, and will eventually culminate into a life-changing testimony in which one could consider it a promotion from the Lord. Now do I seek to be promoted? No nor am I receiving these things from God that I might be promoted heavenward.  I am however sharing: 2 Tim 4:2 - 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.  Ha, now you might say what Podcast Preacher, this doesn’t say anything about telling people the great things that God is walking them through. Oh quite contraire but it does. You see I am called to be a teacher, and well I see the word teacher in the scripture and so it is that I am teaching you how to get into the flow of receiving from God: Ps 66:16 - Come and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what He has done for my soul. How about this one. Do you think this gives me permission to tell you of the great things He IS, IS, IS doing in my life. Not will be, but is right now is doing in my life. The same that He does for me He will do for you: 1 Peter 3:15 - 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;  But no I could go on and on with this support. But what if I just wanted to let you know of the benefits above and beyond His wonderful Salvation that is available to you if you will receive them? Ok so let’s do an in-depth study of the word benefits in Psalms. Ha, there is just three scriptures I will refer to and then get on with the getting: Ps 68:19 - Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah Ps 103:2 - Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Ps 116:12 - What shall I render to the Lord For all His benefits toward me? So I was asked to share my medical benefits with the church because the pastors wife felt that we need to give God more glory for what He is doing in these very days. I agreed and did so. Then I was compelled to share this financial benefit to continue to prove that God is alive and well, not broke as some would try and convince you: Acts 17:28 - 28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Excuse Me Sir You Dropped A Sin Back There

    Send us a text What throws us Christians off in our walk in life is that we don't immediately receive the love-of-God-correction or perceive it and so we develop the nasty habit of assuming, be it intentional or from a position of ignorance, that we did the dastardly deed while God was sleeping or, what is even worse, which is nothing more than avoiding, dealing with the mold on our cheese, is that we work our excuse into the scriptures, justifying it using such words as Grace, Mercy, or or His Love that would of course ignore the sin and allow us to continue moving forward in His will all wiggly-piggly.  So I did say two things in that word run. The first is that if you did something wrong and someone who is in a mature position to bring correction approaches you as in the way the bible says we should, but even then when they do, you disregard their position, brotherly love and/or responsibility to make disciples. The second is that you stick up the place with that sin leaving it unchecked nor checking itself which could be due to a lot of reasons of which we may or may not get into. I am not 100 on where God is going to take this message or any message for that matter so here we go. Matt 18:15-17 - 15 “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. Now but we could just say, “ya but Podcast Preacher this is just our sanctification process and sinning is expected.” Well let’s look at all the sanctification scriptures, which is four, and see if piggin’ is allowed: 1 Cor 1:30 – But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 1 Thes 4:3 – 4 – For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 2 Thes 2:13 – But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 1 Peter 1:2 - elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied. So I have taught that we have been sanctified, are being sanctified, and will be sanctified.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Friends In Hell

    Send us a text So this isn’t your typical message that will make some feeble attempt to try and explain what hell will be like and why you will see nobody there if you choose to go there. It isn’t going to be like, “hey bro what’s up?” Now we can do whatever we want now that we are in this place. Nope, Bud Light isn’t going to give to a life time, oh wait, you will be there for all of eternity, so we know that no way is Bud Light going to give you a party trailer full of free beer. Nope, No confetti. No piñata, and but also and it is what makes this place absolutely fully of terrible terrors is the fact that it has no back door. One way in, your choosing to go there, and no way out….ever. No back door, no second chance, no hoping God might change His mind about how much you expressed hatred for His unending love.  And but hey now allow me to enlighten you before I get to the getting’, I was heading to this “no way Hollywood could ever come close to reproducing what hell will be like, place by choice for 34-years of my life. Then one day I realized that, not only were people really messed up with little to hope for finding someone or even an organization to provide a sustainable and lasting solution, but that I was also in unsolvable problems.  In the movie Battleship there was a line that went something like this, “It time for a new plan of action.” Yup it was definitely time for a complete overhaul. Alcohol would whisper in my ear, “everything is just fine; right as rain”, but then the next morning the same voice would whisper back and condemn me for my actions, and my body would cry out in hang over agony, not again. When I understood that just because the devil is silent and appears, by all human accounts, to be a fable, doesn’t mean he is not behind every addiction, good or bad deed done for the wrong reasons and under the wrong motivation, doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist, but in fact was hoping, in your spiritual ignorance, that you would actually believe that he is non-existent. Ha, imagine having an enemy that hoped you would just believe that you disregarded their intents: 1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Sound like the voices you hear in the night under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or the sounds in the corridors of a miss-spent youth? John 10:10 - 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. Every wonder who is behind stealing your stuff, dreams, or purpose? Yup no person comes up with such evil on their own, satan is back of it. Who is behind suicides and murder? Satan influencing the very people that God created who because they reject God have no protection from the influence and results of satan’s diabolical schemes. The destructor might make for a cool Hasbro superhero but this is actually a real demonic strategy and many people unknowingly have had a part of or most all of their life destroyed. Now in all these groups the spiritually ignorant, that is those who are make-believers, fake-believers, non-believers, or those who are stuck in the valley of indecision always blame other people who are also in one way or the other going through something similar because the devil loves to destroy human relationships by using those groups of people. 1 Cor 4:4 - 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
