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

    Because You Are Lukewarm And Neither Cold Nor Hot, I Will Vomit You Out of My Mouth

    Send us Fan Mail In my previous message titled, “Flee From The Wrath of God”, posted on July 16, 2026, I discussed what hot and cold means in the context of the following scripture. I believe in these end of the end of days that we will need to scholar up on the bible and the things of God. You do not want to be one of those who drop into the tribulation of God because you didn’t listen nor take to heart what I have been teaching in these podcast messages.  Revelation 3:14–16 - 14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Again the definition of hot or cold is important to understand least you think as I did for most of my Christian walk that Jesus would prefer you be hot, that is alive for Him in every way, or cold, which I thought meant being unsaved and by your own choosing going to hell in a hand basket. I was wrong as Jesus wasn’t saying this. Again we look at the definition of hot and cold so that we have a deeper revelation as to what Jesus was teaching:           The Context and Meaning Historical Connection: Laodicea lacked its own water supply. It piped in hot water from nearby Hierapolis springs (which turned lukewarm and foul-tasting by arrival) and cold water from Colossae. Spiritual Meaning: "Hot" water heals and "cold" water refreshes. "Lukewarm" water is useless and causes sickness. Christ uses this to describe a church that is spiritually indifferent, self-satisfied, and physically wealthy but spiritually bankrupt.Can and should we be both hot and cold? I believe so even though Jesus gives a choice between them. I believe He was talking to the part of the church, this means you, not a building, that had began to slip away from their initial salvation and that their love was growing cold indeed: Matthew 24:12 - 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    People Pleasing And The Fear of Man

    Send us Fan Mail Ok so quite the opening title, but they usually are.  Let’s see if the bible addresses both people pleasing and the fear of man. Maybe they are one in the same: There is no exact, single number of scriptures that talk about people-pleasing because the Bible addresses the concept using several different terms, though resource databases like OpenBible.info catalog upwards of 50 to 100 verses that directly confront the heart of this struggle.  While the modern phrase "people-pleaser" appears explicitly in a few verses, the Bible broadens its focus by addressing the root behaviors: "men-pleasing," "the fear of man," and "seeking the approval of others."  Key Biblical Themes Regarding People-Pleasing Explicit "Man-Pleasing" (Colossians 3:22, Eph. 6:6, Gal. 1:10): The Bible warns against "eye-service"—doing good work only so that you can be watched so that when watched you are trying to gain human approval, rather than serving Christ sincerely. Jesus puts this work thingy in perspective when He states the following: Luke 17:7-10 - 7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ” And but the following scriptures explain  Colossians 3:22 – 22 Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. Eph. 6:5-6 – 5 Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ; 6 not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, Gal. 1:10 - 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Flee From The Wrath of God

    Send us Fan Mail Oh boy that is hitting the non-tribbers right upside the head. Flee from the wrath which is unleashed during the 7-yr tribulation.  1 Thessalonians 5:9 - 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 5:9 - 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 1 Thessalonians 1:10 - 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come. Saved from wrath doesn’t mean we have to go through wrath in order to get saved form wrath, and this is what would happen if there were no rapture. Jesus went through the wrath of God and became our sin that we didn’t have to:   Romans 3:25: States that God put Jesus forward as a propitiation (or sacrifice of atonement) by His blood, demonstrating His righteousness.    2 Corinthians 5:21: Explains that God made Jesus, who had no sin, to be "sin for us" so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.    Galatians 3:13: States that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.  Wow this is not what I intended to be a part of this message but there it is.  So, what does the following scripture imply to us or for us: Matt 3:7 - 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Let’s find out why John the baptizer asked this question, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?”: Originally spoken by John the Baptist in Matthew 3:7 (and similarly by Jesus in Matthew 12:34 and Matthew 23:33), this harsh phrase in the original Greek (γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, gennēmata echidnōn) translates literally to "offspring of vipers." It was a stinging metaphor for hypocritical religious leaders, warning that their poisonous, malicious teachings would result in divine judgment.  https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Embracing Demons

    Send us Fan Mail Embracing demons especially in these end times happens automatically when you reject Jesus Christ as God or God the Father, which by the way are one and the same thing. Do I have a scripture to support such a claim? John 14:7 - 7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” John 14:9 - 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? John 10:30 - 30 I and My Father are one.” Mark 9:40 - 0 For he who is not against us is on our side. Luke 11:23 - 23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters. Oh now you might be asking me why present such elementary information to my awesomely mature listeners? And I would say that the proof that we are not all paying attention is listed in the bible as well as it stating that it will get worse meaning that we will begin to lose the marginalizers. What? Yes, we have actually already begun loosing those who are playing religion and solely depending on their church to represent all that they believe about the bible, that they themselves cannot possibly be reading, otherwise this falling away would not and could not be happening.  Now this could be a book of a message but what I will do is limit the message to the very current events that are right now being set up to poison the minds of the unaware or those who are not looking. My last message discusses in depth why we should be actively studying the subject of eschatology, that is the study of the end times of which we are right now in. The title of that message is “If We Don’t Know When He Is Returning Reasonably Speaking Why Watch” posted July 8th 2026. Before I infinitely break down the 2 Thess 2:1-11 scripture later in this message, allow me to be redundant and explain just a bit about what people group will be deceived. I say this because after we go through the scripturally list (we have been through it before in other messages) you will think that you are in the clear as you do not fit the definition of any of those people or religious groups at all what so ever. So besides this initial list there are others who like us think that we are in the clear regarding these end time deceptions. That group we will address later in the message. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    If We Don’t Know When He Is Returning Reasonably Speaking Why Watch

    Send us Fan Mail So, I was reading a book titled, “Summoning The Demon – AI, Aliens, & The Antichrist written by Alan Didio and came across this obscure section which talked about how we are to watch for the return of Jesus. I thought perhaps having already done messages on this subject, specifically addressing the scripture, that I should touch on it again: Matthew 24:36 - 36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. I didn’t buy the book for this reason as I already agree with the position of watching. And but I also believe that this statement is a Jewish idiom which is defined as: A Jewish idiom is a figurative phrase rooted in Jewish culture, religion, or language. They often originate from ancient Biblical Hebrew, the Aramaic of the Talmud, or Yiddish. These expressions rely on cultural context and rarely make sense if translated literally into English. I thought to look up just how many idioms there are in the bible so that we understand that it is very common to use them: There is no official or single number for how many Jewish and Hebraic idioms are in the Bible. Biblical scholars estimate there are thousands of idioms and Hebraisms woven throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Because idioms rely on cultural and linguistic nuances, literal translations often miss their true meanings.  Understanding these idioms requires looking at the Hebraic background of the texts. Some of the most common and widely recognized biblical idioms and phrases include: "By the skin of one's teeth" (Job 19:20): Means surviving or escaping a disaster with nothing to spare."Apple of one's eye" (Psalm 17:8): Refers to something incredibly cherished or protected."Gird up your loins" (2 Kings 4:29): Means preparing for action or getting ready for a difficult journey."A drop in the bucket" (Isaiah 40:15): Represents a very small, insignificant amount.https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Beware The Coming Counterfeit Has Arrived To Deceive If Possible Even The Elect

    Send us Fan Mail We could call this message the great apostasy or falling away, the great deception, or how to avoid departing from your Christianity, or as the song lyric goes, "I'm losing my religion" by R.E.M. yes, once you listen to that song you will never forget it. It is sort of deep and haunting at the same time. How ever it happens it is a very real possibility that we too can lose our religion and it is right in these days that Satan is making his play that this would happen.  Removing your religion brings him great satisfaction and he will move heaven and earth to do it.  So how can we avoid the inevitable. Ah we should define inevitable so you understand what I am saying otherwise you can stiffen up and shout not me no way no how, maybe it will be the other guy but not me definitely not! Look up the following scriptures and see if you stand a better chance than Peter did who walked with God as an eyewitness (Matthew 26:33-35, 69-75 Mark 14:29-31, 66-72, Luke 22:33-34, 54-62, John 13:37-38, 18:15-27, and Luke 22:31-32). Luke 22:31-32 is included because Jesus knew Peter better than Peter knew himself and so Jesus released satan on his life to deal with Peters pride and we know it worked. Ok so that scripture definitely places all of us in a category whereby we can possibly be deceived and then deny Christ. Oh I know right. I am right now at 1145pm typing up this message as I had already gone to bed hours earlier, but this message disturbed me wide awake and I could do nothing else but get it out of my head. So how do we distinguish a Counterfeit dollar from the real deal? Study the real so much that when the false shows up you are able to right away distinguish it as the Counterfeit that it is. How can you tell if you are in the market to buy a classic car or supercar for my car guys and gals, if the product that you are looking at is authentic or a Counterfeit? You must know every detail of the original to be able to distinguish it from a fake. Oh and there are many fakes out there so it's truly like a real thing. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    Why Some Mountains Were Meant for You To Climb While Others Were Meant To Be Cast Into The Sea

    Send us Fan Mail This is a message that started out as a dream and as I began to walk through it in my mind I knew that I had to get up and document the key elements of it before I lost it in slumberland. It kind of started as I was focusing on some of the health issues that I have been going through and that it would be nice that God would have healed me as He had done so many other times before. But then, I believe He started to show me where the real value of my relationship is with Him through this mountain parable that He gave us in the bible and the one He gave me in this dream.   As always the download was huge and I couldn't sleep anymore but I knew in my spirit which doesn’t sleep, that it was Him teaching me something that is enormously valuable to my understanding of just how wonderful our relationship could be with God if we just focused on the initial sacrifice He made for us so that we could enter into a deep relationship with the Father in spite of being sick, having a disease, struggling through finances or whatever it is that represents our difficulties in life. My musing ended with a mountain top experience which gave me a new perspective on casting mountains into the sea. I now understand that some mountains we come across in life are meant to be climbed while others are meant to be cast into the sea. I saw that the journey of climbing them and that the value that is wrapped up in the climb and not so much as reaching the summit. Perhaps this is why they are wider at the base which can represent the start of the climb and much narrower at the top which could represent the finishing of whatever we are processing through. More on that in a minute. So, the analogy that God showed me was like when we were kids and we looked forward to Holidays like Christmas, Easter, and our birthday events. Ah, when we were kids those events seem to have excited us to know end. Oh the joy of receiving a birthday gift that we've always wanted, or Christmas gifts that were on our list, or an Easter basket full of delectable sweets. We would be excited for weeks and even months depending on the gift or treat. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/

    VISCOSITY - Insuring You Are Correctly Anointed And Appointed For Your Specific Ministry

    Send us Fan Mail So, what does viscosity mean? And all of my cars guys shoot up their hands but for the rest of us and even for the car guys we are not just talking about the chemical make-up of car oil but relating how the different blends apply to different seasons and types of cars, or more specifically to types of engines. If you have a high revving engine built for performance then the oil thickness and make-up will be different than for a car, like a Pinto or Honda, and even different based on climate or season. Oil for cars in Alaska in the wintertime will basically be a viscosity quite different than if you live in Death Valley. Using the same oil for both places will get you and your car in trouble. And to add to the mix we also have synthetic oils which is basically man-made oil in which all cars do not do well with this type of oil which I learned the hard way. Ok so let’s break down five of the oil viscosities so that I can then move from this analogy to what this message is about. Oil viscosity measures a lubricant's resistance to flow. In multigrade motor oils, the first number (ending in "W" for Winter) indicates the cold-temperature flow, and the second number represents the high-temperature thickness.  Five common motor oil viscosities and their typical uses include: 0W-20: An ultra-thin, low-viscosity oil primarily used in modern, fuel-efficient, and hybrid engines to reduce friction and improve gas mileage. 0W-30: A low-viscosity formula optimized for colder climates, allowing for quick engine flow during winter starts while providing excellent protection at higher temperatures. 5W-20: A common, slightly thicker oil widely used in many smaller, modern passenger cars to balance fuel efficiency with engine component protection.5W-30: One of the most versatile and commonly used oils, frequently recommended for a wide range of standard passenger vehicles across various climate conditions. 10W-40: A thicker, higher-viscosity oil historically favored for warmer climates, older vehicles, and higher-load conditions, providing a stronger lubricating film at high operating temperatures.So we can see that your engine or car has a specific type of oil recommended based on the year, make and model along with if the engine has been modified or not. And well if you have modified your engine then you would automatically know what type of oil to run to give it the maximum protection. https://appliedstrengthsministry.org/
