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

    Suffering Spelled Backwards is Positive Spiritual Growth Intended For Your Maturity And Effectiveness

    Send us Fan Mail Ha, but ok, so no it’s not the backwards meaning but it is the intended meaning. Let me say it another way, “suffering is necessary for positive spiritual growth which is intended to increase our maturity, both in the natural and spiritually speaking, and life effectiveness.” Is that more clearerness? Ha… I will try and show our intense need to go through suffering, trials, testing, and God correction in order to meet that objective. I tell you that without these elements happening, that is suffering, trials, testing, and God correction in our lives, we would run to worshipping false gods in a heartbeat. Do you have support for that position Mister, Mister? Yes. Every time the Israelites got comfortable in the things of God, they soon drifted into sin and began to take on the same characteristics of those whom didn’t give a hoot about God. Yes, every time without exception. I recommend reading the book of Ezra and see how and what the Israelites departure from God looks like. Their departure from worshipping the one true living God is expressed 100’s of times in the Old Testament. And but if you pinch yourself and reply ouch, and but if you didn’t get that reply give it a stronger go and when you get to the ouch part, let it be a simple and funny reminder that we are no different from them.  We, for perhaps due to our American culture don’t really like suffering and at times we can attribute it to a non-believers destiny because they are attached to the world and to the will of the god of this earth (2 Cor 4:4). But suffering, trials, testing, and God correction is to strengthen us and to keep us on the right God path in order that we don’t stray into false-god harlotville and make the same mistake they did. It seems that God placed the Old Testament first so that we could look into the mirror of history and avoid doing what His own people did. It is like the Jews went first for our benefit so that we could learn from them, and but are we learning from them? I say that we can but according to Rev chapter 3 some of us won’t learn. Perhaps this message can change that. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

  2. Seed Naming & Designation, & A Whole Lot About Gods Wealth & Riches

    Seed Naming & Designation, & A Whole Lot About Gods Wealth & Riches

    Send us Fan Mail A farmer always knows what type of seed they are planting. Would they randomly cast seeds into their field? Nope, every farmer knows what seed to plant so that they are not surprised that if they wanted Pumpkins that they actual got Watermelons.  Seeds are symbolic of a couple of things in the bible. They are genuine seeds that, if planted using the farming rules for seeds, they can produce the intended crop. Seeds also are represented as the words that we speak. If we speak good words we reap good seed feedback, but if we sow or speak bad words, we will reap bad seed feedback. The word of God is also considered seed which is why we are to read and apply it consistently within our lives so that we can reap a good harvest of intended things. I will explain intended things as we move through this message. Offerings are our financial seed. They are handled a couple of ways in the Bible. Apostles or disciples in training would be sent to those in other churches in order to provide input, correction, exhortation, teaching or even church admin advise. It was expected that they would receive resources or offerings from the saints that they visited. Paul shares with us what this looked like back in his days: Phil 4:15-16 - 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. And we saw offerings giving in response to the Apostles ministry: Acts 4:34-37 - 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. 36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.  And we saw how God views our offerings and already knows the size of our wallets so in no way is impressed with the amount given but the sacrifice and faith that accompanies our offering: Mark 12:41-44 - 41 Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. 42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans. 43 So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; 44 for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.” https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

  3. Why Having The Holy Ghost Is Mandatory If You Call Yourself A Christian

    Why Having The Holy Ghost Is Mandatory If You Call Yourself A Christian

    Send us Fan Mail So, if you are a consistent listener of this Podcast then you know that I said in my last message that I would be doing this one. I didn’t mention it by title because I didn’t have one. And but also, the reason that I am doing this very message is that there is a message within the message. The back story is that I was to by providing some revelation on Proverbs chapter 8, at our prayer meeting. It is the scripture that God gave our church this last new years eve, and but in the middle of the prayer meeting God shifted gears and dropped a seasonal seed message right in place of what He was bringing us into regarding a revival season. It is titled, “What Time Is It Right Now Seasonally Speaking” and was posted April 19, 2026. So, what does wisdom have to do with anybody right? Nothing, if you don’t think it is the most valuable thing to operate in. Every human has completely ignored Gods wisdom in many parts of their lives without doubt. The non-believing community gets wisdom confused with fear and intelligence. But I would say that they have misdiagnosed their insight. Before we move too far down the road we need to distinguish the three types or sources of wisdom that exist today. The three sources of wisdom are as follows: 1)    God: Proverbs chapter 2 and 8 We will take a look at these scriptures in a bit: 2)    Lucifer/Satan: Ezekiel 28:12-17 and James 3:13-15 Lucifer is satan’s pre-fallen name or position and satan is one of his fallen names. Oh you say well Podcast Preacher how many names and/or positions does the devil have: The Bible uses dozens of names, titles, and descriptors for the devil, reflecting his multifaceted role as an adversary and tempter. While Satan (meaning "adversary") and Devil ("slanderer") are the most common, he is described by more than 20 distinct names or positions, including the tempter, the evil one, the dragon, the serpent, Lucifer, https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

  4. What Time Is It Right Now Seasonally Speaking

    What Time Is It Right Now Seasonally Speaking

    Send us Fan Mail So, I was going to be speaking on the wisdom of God at our Friday night prayer and revival meeting at the church in which God has been meeting us, each any every time, to bless us beyond what we even expected. And but we expect a lot as He is our Father and we His kids. And but as I was setting down to review the scripture Pro chap 8, something started to happen which I believe it had to do with what topic each person was praying. Now when we have corporate prayer we often see and hear God move in between us in unity and confirming the one accord pattern. What I mean is that it is like He gives each of us a piece of what He is saying, and intends to do in and through us, like a puzzle piece, and but what is exciting is that each of the pieces fit a sort of single image. It isn’t like each of us has our own thing from God and that none of the parts has no correlation to one another. It is awesome and of course I always look forward to Friday nights at Arise Paradise because we may not know what to expect, but expect we do. And so but as I was reviewing Pro chap 8 a scripture God gave to our church on the eave of January 1st, 2026. He shifted me to another message. And but no worries because my next message, after this one will cover the Proverbs chap 8 message that He also gave me, because it too is a must hear bit of revelation for the end time church.   I was sitting in the chair when God changed the frequency and blam, I was meditating on the events that took place throughout the day that are a catalyst to this message and I didn’t even know it until the cart was tumbling down the hill. So earlier in the day I drove to Sacramento to deliver my Kaabo scooter to a potential buyer. I had been advertising this thing for about six months with many false starts and broken promises. Now a small bit of back story is that I had a conversation with God about 9-months or more ago telling Him that I wanted to get some seed in the ground - seed meaning offering money. Tithe is not seed money but offering money is seed money. Anyway, I sold one thing of which I was able to sow but then the games and gimmicks of trying to sell the rest of my items came to a halt.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

  5. Power Power Prophet

    Power Power Prophet

    Send us Fan Mail So, it’s time we fix the idea that God comes in power-measures that differ, from one person to another. Ah, it’s been taught that this is the case in the following scripture which we will get to momentarily. Now some history is that I was reading this scripture and the topic illuminated which to me and this ministry is a sign that God wants me to prepare a message on what the Holy Spirit is pointing at. But as is the case every now and again, I shifted my thoughts for a brief moment and zink I lost the revelation.  Fast forward a few weeks into the future present, in my morning reading time, I tripped upon the scripture again, and bing, I had recaptured what God had initially pointed out several weeks back. So this time I was lead to investigate what the real meaning is regarding the request Elisha had made to Elijah, which was “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” Let’s look at that scripture: 2 Kings 2:6-15 - 6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, please, for the Lord has sent me on to the Jordan.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So the two of them went on. 7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan. 8 Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground. 9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” 10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces. 13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. 14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over. 15 Now when the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

  6. The Three Vocational Attributes And Expected Behaviors Of Authentically Born-Again Christians

    The Three Vocational Attributes And Expected Behaviors Of Authentically Born-Again Christians

    Send us Fan Mail Ok so as I was moving through this message, I could see that there wasn’t enough paper in a small forest to document all of the things that I wanted to share about us Christians manifesting the traits of soldiers, athletes, and farmers. Oh, I know I could do one message per discipline batch, but I think it would lose something in the splitting up of these disciplines. So, what that means is that I will be referencing a lot of scriptures by their verse but not placing the actual scripture within this message. No problem though because you can and actually should be jotting them down as you move through the message so that you really get into the deep water. Yes, it is a shameless plug for the podcast, but also a truth. You can see how this works in Ezekiel (Ezek 47:3-5). All right here we go: Matt 9:35-37 - 35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Look at what Jesus, that is our King and Priest was doing while His disciples were with Him. They were probably helping but I imagine the spiritual and ministerial workload was phenomenal considering the newness of Jesus ministry and the absence of anything in the way of schools or churches that could assist in equipping the new harvest and making disciples. And I say that, assuming that, if those institutions miraculously appeared that they would actually be assisting in making disciples which is not so much the common case in today’s world. I also say that considering how little we focus on equipping and making disciples today. Disciples, so that you have a more current or accurate understanding of the word, is to develop life-learners. A thing that is most rare in these days even though we have the educational institutions that we have. It would seem that they reproduce parrots more than they do life-learners, but this is not that so I get back to the other. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

  7. God is And Will be Reclaiming the Iranian People in These Very Days

    God is And Will be Reclaiming the Iranian People in These Very Days

    Send us Fan Mail So, I had originally named this message, “The Strait of Hormuz Prophetic Fulfillment”, but then after some consideration I thought that it would be more like God to focus on the human element of a demonically carried out agenda. Satan uses anyone who gives him permission to do so. Who might they be you ask, well it would first and foremost be the make-believers, fake-believers, non-believers, and those stuck in the valley of indecision. And in every attempt to be non-offensive I will say that this very large people group gives satan permission to lead them around by their spiritual nose. Yes, in my message titled, “Serve and Worship God Or You Will By Default Serve And Worship Demon Empowered False gods”, you have learned that in life you only have two choices as to whom to will be a slave to. Oh, I know another controversial term, but let’s look at how God uses these to describe two people groups:  Rom 6:16-18 – 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? {notice the only two choices people have} 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, {we are all born into sin} yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, {this happens through the born again experience discusses in John 3:3-7} you became slaves of righteousness. See again in Romans: Rom 6:22 - 22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. So quickly and in a nut shell, you are either serving satan through your sinning, or you are serving, that is voluntarily submitting yourself a slave to God so that you no longer serve satan through sin, and thus reproduce righteousness, which by the way is impossible to achieve outside of being a slave to God and His kingdom rule. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

  8. Battle Fatigue

    APR 6

    Battle Fatigue

    Send us Fan Mail Originally this thought word turn out to be a prophetic word for our church and because I believe it also applies to the global state of the church, I decided to share it in the hopes that it will help some of us soldiers, farmers, and athletes of God. Yes, I just cheap-plugged my own future message about soldiers, farmers, and athletes of which will be titled something like the three vocational attributes and behaviors of authentically born-again Christians. Boopsie-bow-wow, God just gave me that as the title so it will be the title. Look for it soon as it is imperative we understand those three attributes within our very selves.  So shortly before I was to share this message God confirmed that I was on the right track. You know it is reassuring to know that you are on the right track with God when He asks you to do something.  Right soon as I closed my eyes to begin entering into our weekly prayer meeting, I saw the following statement, “We can often grow more weary waiting for the will of God than we can in going in the wrong direction. I didn’t try to give an interpretation as I thought as I read it that it could mean several different things depending on who hears it, and so I left it alone confident that I was on the right track with this message. I was going to change the prophetic message for this podcast and just now decided against it. So, you will be getting the same message that God gave our church. To shift into the teaching mode for just a second, this is the prophetic gift as outlined in 1 Cor 12:8-10 and not the office of a prophet as described in Eph chapter 4. Listen for these three attributes of the prophetic gift, edification (building up), exhortation (encouragement), and comfort.   Let’s pray that we keep at the forefront of our minds and spirits our determination, our press, our sticktuativeness, our endurance to keep pressing forward and to fight for the things, that is the ministry, relationships, jobs, creative ideas, finances, and/or health that God is trying to manifest through you, even though for a time or season you do not see the horizon of victory. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
