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

    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/

  2. 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/

    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/

    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/

  5. Giants Demons And Worshipping What What Conundrum

    Giants Demons And Worshipping What What Conundrum

    Send us Fan Mail So, as I was waking up, the topic or thought of “serving other gods” kept popping into my head. Now, I knew that even though my body was yet still sleeping, as I wasn’t wide-eyed yet, and but my spirit was awake and that it was receiving this “serving other gods” drift. I had already done some messages on this topic, but could see fairly easily, that God wanted me to do another message regarding this subject. Listen, what happened in the garden, and for the reason that it happened, which was to separate mankind from God Himself and to immediately turn us to serving and worshipping other gods, as this is our innate default when we reject the One true God, and satan knew this, and so but this will be happening in these last days, and in fact is already happening right now. The more people that turn away from God, by a preprogrammed “we must worship something” default, they will invite the power of darkness over this land and begin in larger scale that we have ever encountered, to worship all things false gods empowered in many cases by demonic power. So I thought I would stretch the current AI capabilities and ask it a question that I didn’t actually think it could come up with. But it did. The question was, “How many professing Christians know about demonic warfare?” The following is the response to that question: While a majority of Christians believe in the devil (roughly 58% to 92% depending on the study), the active understanding or knowledge of demonic spiritual warfare varies greatly. Many believers are considered unaware of this battle, often leading to “it”, (this is my comments: that is spiritual warfare, or to put it in an even more stricter sense, the work of satan and his demons, being overlooked, feared, or misunderstood as mere psychological issues, despite scriptural references to it.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    There’s A Rapture But Not Before These End Time Events Take Place

    Send us Fan Mail I cannot express just how much I love learning about God. If you stick to it you will never run out of fresh material, that is you will never run out of fresh revelation to be more specific.  So, my lovely audience of listeners, how many rapture and tribulation messages have I done? Not enough fo-sure, but like the others this one takes a different angle and provides a timeline of the events left to happen before poof. Not setting dates or anything like that, it’s just more of a chronological series of events that will eventually lead up to the rapture and then to the seven years of tribulation. My sources for this message Steve Cioccolanti's book titled, “The four horsemen of the Apocalypse - the greatest warning of the next 10 years” as well as Google AI. I recommend Stevens’ books as they are timely, accuracy, prophetic, and teach us well of the things that “were”, “are”, and “will be”.  Let’s go big or rather high first: Well in an ignorantly-adopting-lies sort of way, this message might please some of those who really feel like they want to go through the tribulation of God, that is His judgement against all unrighteousness, to preach the those who have no intention of listening to any preachers including angels (Rev 14:6-7), 144,000 radical Jewish evangelists (Rev 7:1-8), or the two end time profits who are supernaturally empowered to perform miracle signs and wonders (Rev 11:3-12), and therefore, because of their self-imposed pious potion they do not believe in a God who tells the truth always. Ok so restated for simplicity, they do not believe that God would remove all of the authentically born-again Christians from the planet leaving the rest of the fake-believers, make-believers, non-believers, and those who are stuck in the valley of indecision to the devil and his Wiley-ways. Ah sounds pious right? And but of course they would be partially correct in that God wouldn’t do that as His word states He desires that all men be saved (1 Tim 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9, Is 45:22, & 49:6), and that His soul takes no pleasure in the death of one who dies (Ezek 18:23, & 33:11). So what assurance do we have that God will not have left the fake-believers, make-believers, non-believers, and those who are stuck in the valley of indecision to the devil? I just left that easter egg on the front porch. The 144,000 Jewish gospel fire-brands and the two end time prophets. And let us not forget that some of the fake-believers, make-believers, non-believers, and those who are stuck in the valley of indecision will have woken up once they found out that they missed the big signs and left their containers of oil home (Matt 25:1-13).  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

  7. The Prettiness Of Deception And Cost Of Believing Lies

    The Prettiness Of Deception And Cost Of Believing Lies

    Send us Fan Mail Do flies and lies rhyme for a reason, ha, but no I won’t be weird throughout the whole message.  So, in working on this message, meaning as I got nearer to the end I came back to the beginning and thought I would share some incites so that you can be looking for the purpose and intention of this manage for these end times. I saw that it was taking an interesting turn. My focus was going to be strictly on the topic of lies and I think I covered or uncovered them for what there intended purposes are and will be, but I noticed a parallel message in this process, which is that there seems to be also an emphasis on waking out of your self-imposed stupor. And well if you are not stooped that doesn’t mean God will neglect what you need from this message. I believe God is pleading for your very soul, and for the very souls of those in whom you know who are heading for a dreadfully awful place of which there are no second chances for escape. We cannot save anybody after they go to hell.  Preaching the gospel in power, and sometimes prefaced with advanced prayer is the only thing that will wake up the sleeping Christians and the fake-believers, make-believers, non-believers, and those stuck in the valley of indecision.  1 Cor 2:4-5 - 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. If you don’t know the God of power then you are preaching with no power if you are indeed preaching at all. We as authentically born-again believers will be held in account for the ministry God has given to each of His disciples. So, I thought I would wrap around topside and include this paragraph at the beginning of the message so that you understand it has a parallel message and does not let no one off the hook. That little symbolism will come to light as we move on.  One last thing before we get started is that I expect, in love, that you will look up any referenced scriptures; not necessarily the ones I include in their entirety, but those just referenced so that you understand the message more comprehensively. And to support this position I leave you with some scriptures to look up that will help (Matt 13:19, Luke 8:12, Pro 2:1-6, Ps 119:130, 2 Tim 2:15, Deut 4:1-10, and Matt 4:4). Keep in mind that some of the scriptures provided are preventative and others are supportive of the theme of what was just stated. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
