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

    VelociRapture

    Send us a text Ok so I like to keep you updated on my learning as I believe it is fun to learn things that have been sitting right in front of our faces in the bible, but that it took a certain somebody to catch it or to point it out. It actually is a perfect representation of the body of christ working together. This is why the “Loner-Christian” mentality, unless you are a modern-day Enoch, is not a very good idea (Gen 5:24). Even Paul had his bro’s.  Now but a little scripture snack on Enoch. How old is he? If you say 365 years old then you would be mistaken, because in Hebrews it states: Heb 11:5 - 5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Now and but so now that he went in his old body and hasn’t yet received his new body he is near 6000 years old. I wonder how many Archaeologists know that bitty-ditty. So but if you haven’t picked up on it yet, there is a lot of hoopla on the end times, and well hoopla is a loser word than I ought to use, least you think I am just making light of this fact. If you have been following me on my learning journey last years goals were to slow down on podcast posts, a direct order from God papa, and to hang tight as some things were to take place that would be astounding. And but also while I was at it I got my healing from decade-long illnesses, and dropped all of the pharmakeia or potion of sorcerers, out of my life, so no more taking 15-pills a day. And finally, to nutshelling that year, I decided to read an impossible number of books to prepare for, well I am still not sure what I was preparing for but when God gives to the grace to do something you do it. And sense I had the time I took the challenge on and completed my 12-month period reading 605 books and booklets of which the bible was one of those books.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Repetition Is A Strategic Number

    Send us a text And so but ha, no but check it out, I have been doing some reading, thinking, and seeking and searching for the flow of what God is saying in these days. And so but my thought is that if we are in the last days, meaning near the 4th of a total of 7-raptures which are as stated in other messages such as this 4-part series titled, “Rapture – Get Right Or Get Left by Hilton Sutton,” which was posted on October 28, 2025. You can also just buy the book by the same name as the messages. The books are authored by Hilton Sutton. The messages are simply a reading of his book. Anyway, he is not the only one that has brought this up, and no worries as there are many others who don’t think that one rapture is eminent let alone a total of 7-scripturally proven raptures. But then Eve was and is not the only one deceived by her limited understanding of God even in her time living before sin was made alive (Gen 3:6, 4:7). Ouch I know right, and but what is important is that we understand that when we pull the e-brake of our spiritual growth, the e-brake representing the story as outlined in the book of Luke 5:37-39, we lock into old-wine thinking, and wasn’t this the problem in the days of Noah, Lott, and the churches of Jesus day (Luke 17:26-30)? Ok so quickly the 7-raptures that have and will be taking place in this thing we call time: 1.     Enoch 2.     Elijah 3.     Jesus 4.     The Church (Philadelphia specifically) 5.     Great multitude 6.     144,000 7.     The two witnesses Specifically spelled out in scriptures such as 2 Thes 2:1-12 specifically verse 6, supported by what it states in Matt 16:18, 24:37-42, Mark chap 13, Luke chap 21, John 14:3 and then we have the strategic scriptures such as 1 Cor 15:51-53, 1 Thes 4:13-17, Rev 3:7-13, and others, but since I have done many messages on the tribulations, and have even changed my thinking on them as I have been taught new information, that I did not initially see, such as going from 1-rapture to 7.   https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    The Flip Side Of The Same Coin

    Send us a text So another way of saying this is Encountering God's Power In The Midst Of Resist. Yup, it’s the same thing as saying that you are a willful sinner and that you believe the power you have to resist God is greater than the power of God has to resist you, and so therefore you remain a willful sinner: Jer 27:7-9 -  O Lord, You induced me, and I was persuaded;  You are stronger than I, and have prevailed.  I am in derision daily;  Everyone mocks me.  8 For when I spoke, I cried out;  I shouted, “Violence and plunder!”  Because the word of the Lord was made to me  A reproach and a derision daily.  9 Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him,  Nor speak anymore in His name.”  But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not. So of course, I had to put that human strength argument to bed so that we understand our position as it relates to Dad.  Now this message is not to insight you to foolishness, nor is it to lead you to be one of those religious people who think God needs their brains and wit to keep things in order as it relates to everyone else who is doing the work of God: Jer 10:14 – Everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge;  Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image;  For his molded image is falsehood, And there is no breath in them. Jer 4:22 – For My people are foolish, They have not known Me. They are silly children, And they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, But to do good they have no knowledge.” Oh I know that we are in a different dispensation, but like in the days of Jesus, some tried to bring in the old dispensation into the new one.  Luke 5:36-39 - 36 Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. 39 And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ” https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Which Stream Of Wisdom Are You Thinking From

    Send us a text This message is packed-smacked full of treasure so getting your writing and recording shovels out and prepare to dig. This message is packed-smacked full of treasure so getting your writing and recording shovels out and prepare to dig. Now we know that there are three streams of wisdom: 1) wisdom of the world which I believe was corrupted through sin, otherwise it could be a reliable source of wisdom when bonded to the wisdom of God. Let’s look at two right out the gate: 1 Cor 3:19-20 - 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; 20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” There you go. The world has wisdom but compared to the counsel of God it is foolishness. And how many people think that they are wise in their own small minds when trying to impress the humanly ignorant using fancy words and unfounded facts and truths to come off looking intelligent. Stand them next to Jesus and all of that pride will either make them murderously mad or humbly humble. Also notice that those who access the wisdom of the world, which is very limited in its scope, are crafty. Some of the most obvious people thinking that they were or are wise beyond people’s understanding of comprehension is in the medical field, pharmaceutical industry, commercial industry, addiction perpetuation industries, academic industries, oh no wait. Think about how many academics preach against God, or try and teach that there is no God, or that zero plus zero equals humanity.  The angels must look down and maybe at least think of asking God if this whole salvation plan is the best option. Ha, considering that the God who created those who oppose Him, not considering that they wouldn’t even be alive to oppose Him if in fact it wasn’t for Him, are declaring and shouting in full out rebellion, as if there is a reward for shaking your fist in the face of God, there is no God! I did this and I am an academic nut who could support my stance with ill-founded logic, or simply by making the believer sound like a complete fool. Ha, and yet did I know it was I who was the fool in every way. I may as well have taken up the cause to tell everyone that the world is flat, or that gravity only exists in the minds of the weak, or that air or oxygen is not necessary to sustain life. Oh, don’t feel bad for me, I just needed to work around those in whom I thought were smart or just in a better station in life than myself to see that they were lost nutjobs, not at all unlike myself.  Now I ask why me God? You had every right to vaporize me to make a point. It’s like the picture of a 10-year-old kid staring at his dad right in the face and calling him stupid because his father doesn’t believe what the kids teacher just taught him, and the father’s response is to simply love him until his kid comes around. Love, and especially Gods love, is truly baffling.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Send us a text Ok so this is a follow up to my message Crutch Theology and if you haven’t yet heard it you should give it an ear so as to get the context at a deeper level regarding this fun little message.  Keep in mind as we navigate through this message that no matter what you believe God is be it One God, One God with a Son who represents God, or the most popular belief which is that He is trinity, meaning three in One; that is He is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; all being equal but functioning in a Oneness team roll which simply means that each has Their roll in the Godhead, this of course excluding any other idea about who God is, because outside of this window of thought you would have to leave the scriptures to come up with any other scenario. This is how we ended up with so many in spiritual error serving false gods instead of the One and only God. Anyway no matter, you will be fine regarding your Salvation as long as you live to serve God through the forgiving blood of Jesus, as it is important to understand the roles, which is that salvation could only come through a perfect human. God the Father nor the Holy Spirit could save you. And but you do need the Holy Spirit to do the things of Jesus and so without Him you are a canoe on a raging river without a paddle. You cannot cast out demons, in other words, without the power of the Holy Spirit, nor the authority of Jesus. You see, squeaky clean, and so but now lets have fun in seeking for His truth, like the treasure that He is, look: Pro 2:1-11 - My son, if you receive my words,  And treasure my commands within you,  2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom,  And apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,  And lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver,  And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,  And find the knowledge of God.  6 For the Lord gives wisdom;  From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;  He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; 8 He guards the paths of justice,  And preserves the way of His saints.  9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice,  Equity and every good path. 10 When wisdom enters your heart,  And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,  11 Discretion will preserve you;  Understanding will keep you,  12 To deliver you https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Crutch Theology

    Send us a text Ok so instantly this message became a lesson on our belief foundation. The academic world as well as the bible would call this Theology and/or doctrine. And but what distinguishes Christianity from the other religions that might also use these terms is the untainted, unpolluted, never-changing, always relevant, sin-breaking, life-saving, character-changing Gospel. So, let’s define these foundational elements so that the rest of the message makes sense:  Google AI states of Theology: Theology is the systematic study of the divine, religious beliefs, and practices, exploring questions about God, humanity's relationship with the sacred, ethics, and the meaning of life from a religious or spiritual perspective. Its core concepts involve understanding divinity, interpreting sacred texts, and analyzing faith's impact on worldview, often through branches like Systematic Theology (organizing doctrines) or Moral Theology (ethics). The purpose of theology is to deepen understanding of faith, shape life, and provide frameworks for belief and action, whether within Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or other traditions.    Core Beliefs & Concepts  Nature of the Divine:  Investigating the existence, attributes, and character of God or gods.  Revelation: Studying how the divine reveals itself to humanity through scripture, tradition, or experience.  Humanity & Creation: Exploring human nature, purpose, sin, suffering, and the relationship between humans and the divine.  Ethics & Morality: Examining moral principles derived from religious beliefs and their application to life.  Salvation & Afterlife: Contemplating concepts of redemption, eternal life, and eschatology (end times).   Major Branches & Types Systematic Theology: Formulates an orderly, comprehensive account of religious doctrines, often integrating scripture, philosophy, and tradition.  Biblical Theology: Focuses on interpreting and understanding biblical texts and their overarching themes.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Lovey Dovey Or Hankey Pankey

    Send us a text Ok so no its not about sex or anything like that, although I will be doing one in the future about the abuses in that arena sometime this year. Nope, this is about our relationship with God insofar as if we do really love Him or are just playing with Him.  I think this idea came in part from a church service we were having this last Sunday at Arise Paradise here in California, and maybe even more so because I have been reading about the Jesus Movement, watching movies about the Jesus Movement, and about the worship band named Love Song.  Now this is a high level description of this move of the Holy Spirit, and it was due to the move of the Holy Spirit that this earth-shattering Jesus move happened.  Google AI states of this move: The Jesus Movement was a countercultural Christian revival, primarily in the U.S. during the late 1960s and early 1970s, where young hippies and "flower children" converted to a conservative, evangelical Christianity, adopting Christian themes into their lifestyle (long hair, music, casual dress) while emphasizing the simple gospel, communal living, and passionate worship, significantly influencing modern worship music, evangelism, and denominations like Calvary Chapel.  Awesome, beautiful, and way short of the significance of what-all that the Holy Spirit did in this time on earth. You know as we should always inquire if the bride is making herself ready or if the girlfriend on the side is attempting to keep her presence a secret (Rev 19:7). Now but to be clearer, and this may very well be the yearer that I try and be clearer, but then if one is in this to learn and burn with the presence of God then He will provide the understanding necessary for you to get it, and spread it. If you are the girlfriend on the side then you will do what she has always done which is to either stop the move of the Holy Spirit, or strike up controversies about those being used to grow and to help the bride come to a place of perfection and spotlessness: Eph 5:26-27 - 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
