Deep Waters
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

What World Do You Live In
In the main scripture of which you will discover as we move through this message, I changed the word He to we without at all changing the meaning or intent of the scripture.
Let’s foundationalize this message:
John 14:12-14 - 12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Now this is a big instruction from Jesus. He is telling us that we in essence will be Him on earth doing the same things, that is healing, casting out demons, giving words of knowledge, using wisdom, you know all of the Holy Spirit gifts as well as many more, that we would continue His program of salvation as well, and get this because it is the heart of this message, and that we would do greater works than these. Now I am not a Greek or Hebrew scholar, well in fact I am not a scholar in most everything so I guess that shouldn’t by now be a big surprise, but greater does not mean continuing on with the same program that Jesus did. Look at what He says just before He introduces the Greater statement, “the works that I do he will do also.” You see He already said we would be doing, should be doing, each and every one of us should be doing, ha, no but many Christians will have been found to have accepted the job of salvation having never showed up for work. And yes if that bothers you that I said that then respond to the Holy Spirit and clock in. The few Christians running for God need your help. Ok so anyway, we see that He swept the normal tasks out in front of us and then added, greater works than these we will do.” Notice the words, “than these” meaning healing, preaching, teaching, miracles, signs, and wonders, casting out demons, yes and all of the other things that Jesus did. And but now why would I go to such great lengths to be sure you understand the difference between what the bibles tells us that Jesus did, and the additional “greater works than these” statement? Because I have read and heard that the real meaning of this is that because there are more of us than of Jesus, the greater simply means volume of work. Of course right? I mean if 1000 Christians are doing the normal work of Jesus, that is going to produce more than He and even the 120 who were in the upper room would have produced. Now don’t ask me if we in todays church are actually doing that, but that is what some people believe and I would not disagree with them. But. I know right? There has to be a but in this because what they are stating is what we call the obvious. Considering all things equal, two people would or should out perform one. So but Jesus went beyond elementary math and added, ” greater works than these we will do.” Not more as it would be obvious to any elementary baby Christian and maybe in this one time Jesus trusted us to actually get that basic concept. Again for the mathematically challenged, of which I am, two people should outperform one.
So this message is going to tale a look at some unique things that happened back in the day. Why? Because I think we have yet to see the great works in or days. Listen to this:
Matt 24:24 - For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
