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

    A Story of A Wives Tale

    Send us Fan Mail Yes it is likely we will post the end time word definitions every other message as I am being inundated with other messages. I could post two messages a day for several years if I tried to keep up with God but He already told me to slow down so here we are. So if I haven’t lost you already at the title of this message, then stick with me as we take a look at three scenarios looking at three different couples who have the same problem but work to solve the problem in three very different ways which results in three very different outcomes. Is there truth in this novel of a story? Let’s leave that assessment to the hearer. We pan in on a couple living in a small but delightful home in the mountains where the wife and husband were happily married and enjoying life. But as time went on a sinister spirit had been allowed to move into the house unaware due to a type of spiritual window opening behavior. As they lived, doing daily things people do, as they go from one day to another, the sinister spirit began his dismembering work. A little background on Mr sinister spirit is that he has a very intentional purpose: John 10:10 states in part, “10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” The journey between the couple looked something like this. As long as the husband met the expectations of the wife, peace ruled the house, but because Mr. sinister did not like peace because there is no peace in him, he focused on his disruption and destruction purpose. His strategy looked something like this. When the husband did not meet his wife's expectations she would become unglued and lose her mind, asking him what was wrong with him and 10 other "why" questions that really had nothing to do with the offending event, but were asked in the may lay of emotional outburst anyway. Now but after they retired off to bed and awoke in the morning, the husband lacking any rest from the thrashing which took place the day prior, he took notice that the wife would awake and behave as if she had never committed such an infraction. The husband quipped in the thoughts of his mind, as he dare not commit another offending error, adding heaps upon heaps of trouble, assessing that she must have amnesia. And so this went on as a consistent pattern in their relationship. However, the husband noticed within his own self that peace had left their home. And he himself had noticed a great disconnection from one another. For him honor and trust left with peace. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Revelational Word Definitions And Meanings – Part 1 of 13

    Send us Fan Mail Ok one more time just want to let my hearers know that we are also now on Amazon podcast. Sorry for the delay in posting my next message, my heart surgery resulted in me getting Pneumonia and so I was required to bedrest. Besides I didn’t really have the lungs to record. But by the grace and love of God I am able to return and present part 1 of a 13 part series on end time terms. Yes there will be redundancies but that will only help to get this past our forehead memory and deep within our cranium. As I was reading the book titled, “They Lied To You About The Rapture” written by Alan Didio published by “Destiny Published Books” he had placed at the end of his book an end time glossary of terms. As I was reading through some of those terms it occurred to me that perhaps I should throw some of that information your way since I too am teaching a lot on the end of the end of times. I highly recommend reading this book if you are at all interested in the study of the end times. You say Why Podcast Preacher? I say because you will be blessed, considering that the term or activity of watching as described and commanded in the bible is listed over 30 places in the bible, and that reading the book of Revelation and studying the end times is a hedge against the great deception which is now being played out over all the earth. You can dial into many of my 2025 through 2026 messages if you need to get caught up. People are most caught off guard because of self-induced ignorance, unbelief and an over-estimation of how nice people are or can be even when the pressure is on.  Rev 1:1-3 - 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. Rev 22:7 - 7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    The Great Marijuana Smoke Screen

    Send us Fan Mail I know I stated in my last message that we were going to go through a 13-part series dealing with end time word and term definitions but then this other message popped into my mind which I thought more important considering the increasing level of Marijuana smokers that we are seeing. We will get to the 13-part series after this message… I think. Now this message is not going to blow smoke up your chimney, but in fact will address a growing concern that I have for those who are deceptively under Marijana’s deception.  I speak from experience as I was a smoker of the first degree. I smoked the purest most potent forms of Marijuana concentrates available. And what comes with that is the most potent forms of brain fog and this deceptive belief that you will actually still be a traditional normal thinking person even under, no but, and but especially under its powerful influence. If I have any smokers out there, I hope you will listen to this message from beginning to end because I know from experience that you will not seek the input about this very addictive habit from anyone at all. Just like thieves are most comfortable among other thieves, and liars are most comfortable among other liars. Marijuana addicts are most comfortable around other Marijuana addicts.  So, let’s get some factoids in front of us shall we: According to the 2025 National Survey on Drug Use and Health released by SAMHSA, approximately 43.8 million to 44.6 million Americans (ages 12 and older) use marijuana regularly, while 61.6 million have used it within the past year.  Key Usage Statistics Daily Users: An estimated 21.4 million Americans use marijuana on a daily or near-daily basis, surpassing daily cigarette smokers (19.9 million) and daily drinkers (17.2 million). Past-Year Use: About 21.2% of the U.S. population aged 12 and older (61.6 million people) reported using cannabis in the past year. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Unearthing Biblical Onion Layers

    Send us Fan Mail What Podcast Preacher, this better be a message about delicious hamburgers. Ha but no really its going to be better than that at least insofar as a message, this message can be related to food: John 4:34 - 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Where is this going; out to lunch real fast if we don’t hit it Mister.  I got the idea for this message while I was reading a book titled, “The Miracles of Jesus Christ” written by Rick Rainer. I recommend the purchasing of this book as Rick has given us an eye-opening examination of every miracle healing and demonic encounter recorded in all four of the gospels and in the book of Acts. There may not be written, in all of history, another book like it. Ok let’s almost open with the following scripture: Matthew 8:5-13 - 5 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” 7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour. So we are going to peel back the onion layers of the bible in this scripture and talk about what is being inferred as knowledge and understanding to Jesus,, but to us who read this scripture centuries later we must search for her as for hidden treasure and fill in the blanks (Pro 2).  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Giant Tribes, Giants Themselves, And Biblical Locations Of Where They Lived

    Send us Fan Mail This is going to be an exciting message because you will no doubt see some truths that are but, all avoided, to be spoken of in your local church. Not because giants are scary but because of their connection to demons and false religions and gods. Idols are a demons doorway into your life which has been satans plan from the beginning. I found the study mind boggling as to the amount of time that the bible addresses giants, false gods and demons, of which I think you will too. This message is short and packed full of wait a minutes.   No doubt someday this will be considered a partial list of what tribes consisted of all giants, some giants, a few giants, and/or one giant. Along with this list is where they lived according to the bible. Now my resources are way too many to list as there have been many people who have authored books on giants, Nephilim, and/or the trigger scripture that we find in Luke along with what other story that many think, including my self which is the story about the giants discussed in Genesis Gen 6:1-4 - 6 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. And so this history goes away except for the fact that Jesus refers to in in Luke as an end time warning: Luke 17:26–30 - 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    The Three Little Pigs Allegory

    Send us Fan Mail No, I am not comparing believers in Christ to pigs but I needed a title and a story of a story whereby some of the lines lined up with this message. The three little pigs is that story. This message also connects to the prodigal son story in the bible at one of his not so favorite places to dine (Luke 15:11-32). So right around 2:30ish in the morning I was having a dream or, while I was slowly waking up, I thought about a story of three guys who used to be in close relationship but due to testing circumstances they have parted ways and taken their own paths. I will refer to the three guys as piggy number one, piggy number two and piggy number three. In the dream I saw a couple of friends, piggy’s number 1 and 2 and I piggy number 3 were sitting at a table attending an event. This maybe was an extended portion of another dreamed event in which a friend of ours was getting married which may have drawn us together for the second event. I don't feel as if it was the after wedding dinner celebration but it felt more like something else. Who knows as sometimes dreams can seem a bit fractionalized as mine often do. So first I will share the discussion at the table and then tell you why what was said was said. Why do this as a message at all Podcast Preacher it is your dream…ha? Because I don't want you to focus entirely on what happened to the three relationships as much as I want to help you to see which of the three types of piggy’s you are.  This will require some introspection and honesty on your part and remember truth is most often difficult to hear for humans as our flesh seems so drawn to the false and deceptive. And for whatever reason we can get very hypersensitive as to whether God could truly deliver and restore someone who had their collapsing story on the front pages of ever gossip column in the state. No piggy didn’t receive persecution from the church because it no longer existed. But stigma’s are usually most applied and done so by individuals who lack the most truth as to how we got in the situation we found ourselves in. Taking the labeling circuit is much easier than just asking. Remember we are humans and susceptible to great sins and errors when the circumstances aliening with our weaknesses and/or spiritual immaturity. I am being nice because I am not condemning those who don’t know because as Jesus stated they don’t know what they are doing, and I would say that this applies to believers at times (Luke 23:34). https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
