What a song? Yes, and but my sister Debra Avey, who is also a board member of Applied Strengths Ministry wrote a song called “Podcast Preacher.” The link is included in this intro, click on it and thump it up for Jesus!

So why a song for a ministry, I mean churches don’t have songs about themselves. Ha, could you imagine listening to a song about this or that denomination. No, but so I did because it popped into my head one day that this whole ministry is about getting people to read and apply their bibles. I am not looking to build large groups of followers, well unless they were all doing what the bible says, then well maybe, but no. Reading your bible is the most important thing you can do even above going to church, although one should be done without the exclusion of the other. 

The message is a shorty sporty but hits a major milestone in this ministry. What's the milestone podcast Preacher? It was coming up with a song that represented the ministry not in totality but yes definitely in part. In totality the assignment of my life is to equip the saints for the work of ministry and to make disciples eventually releasing them through others into operating and miracle signs and wonders while serving in love in meeting all of the elements discussed or that represent the fruit of the spirit.

Listen, there are times when truth doesn’t just come through teaching; it comes through sound.
 
 And it carries the same call we talk about here—which is that we go deeper, beyond the surface and into the place where truth is found.

Hello, this is Kenya Podcast Preacher. Welcome back to my podcast, Deep Waters. This podcast is brought to you by Applied Strengths Ministry, where we believe working together in our strengths is the effect of working out the will and calling of God and into our lives. Thanks for joining me. Let's open up in prayer. Blessed be the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Just as he chose you and him before the foundation of the world, that you should be holy and without blame before him in love, having predestined you to adoption as a son or daughter by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, which he purposed in himself, to the praise of the glory of his grace by which he made you accept it into the love. In him ye have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace, which he made to abound towards you in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to you the mystery of his will, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth in him. Ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation and the knowledge of the mystery of him, or unto the deepest knowledge of him that you are willing and able to receive, that the eyes of your understanding would be open wider, and that you would be enlightened to who he is, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in you? And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards you who believe, according to the working of his mighty power which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, that he would grant that you would be strengthened with might through his spirit in the inner man, and into your spirit and heart, and that you would be able to stand against your flesh, this world, and the devil, any true and in all temptations. I pray that your love may abound more and more in all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense until the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ of the glory and praise of God. I ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will and all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work, strengthened with all might according to his glorious power, in all patience and longsuffering with joy, giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints who walk into life. I pray that your hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love and unity, and that you would attain to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which has been given to each of my listeners by Christ Jesus, that you are enriched in everything by Him, in all utterance and all knowledge, so that you do not come short in obtaining or operating in your calling and purpose, nor in using any spiritual gifts or talents, eagerly waiting for the continued revelation of our Lord Jesus, who will confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the near coming of the day of our Lord. God is faithful with whom you are called into the fellowship of his son Jesus. Okay, now therefore, my sisters and brothers in Christ, when things get tough, think about whatever things are true, noble, just pure, lovely, and whatever things are of a good report. If there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things alone. I pray that in these very days that you would let your love be without hypocrisy, be to love what is evil, cling to what is good and righteous, be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another, not lagging in diligence, fervent and fully engulfed in spiritual fire, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, walking in the peace of God, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfast in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, that is each other, and that you would be given hospitality. May the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded towards one another, according to Christ Jesus, may we learn to be of one mind, in one accord, operating completely and fully in love and unity, always striving for the working out of God's specific will for each of our lives, while working in partnership with each other within the church and the Holy Spirit. As he manifests as miracles, signs, and wonders through the daily activities of our ministry and kingdom work, and while we also go out preaching the gospel in the word and deed. Let us love and serve one another, our enemy, and those who wouldn't expect us to do so, considering each person better than ourselves. Find up any words or thoughts that are contrary to the love of God, or which would set you back in your Christian walk. Step out in faith today and walk with God, being assured that nothing will separate you from Him as long as you abide in Him. All those things that don't exist as though they do. Remember, He that is in you is greater than He that is in the world. Be more than a conqueror today, submitting to the will of God in everything. Let each of us express uncompromising love towards one another in humility while maintaining a teachable spirit. I pray that God will give you the revelation within this message that he intends you to receive with the understanding. Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ and through us diffuses a fragrance of his knowledge in every place. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. The title of this message is The Podcast Preacher says, Read your Bible. What? A song? Yes. And by my sister Deborah Avey, who is also a board member of the Applied Strengths Ministry Ministry, wrote a song called Podcast Preacher. The link is included into this intro. Click on it and thump it out for Jesus. So why a song for ministry? I mean, churches don't have songs about themselves, do they? Could you imagine listening to a song about this or that denomination or non-denomination? No, but so I did it because it popped into my head one day that this whole ministry is about getting people to read and apply their Bibles. I'm not looking to build the largest group of followers or liker spikers on my social media platforms. Well, only unless they were doing all of what the Bible says. And well, maybe. But no. Reading your Bible is the most important thing you can do, even above going to church. Although one should be done without the exclusion of the other. This message is a shorty sporty, but it hits a major milestone in this ministry. What's the milestone podcast, preacher? It was coming up with a song that represented the ministry, not in totality, but yes, definitely in part. The totality of the assignment of my life is to equip the saints for the work of ministry and to make disciples, eventually releasing them through others and operating in miracle signs and wonders while serving in love and meeting all of the elements discussed or that represent the fruit of the Spirit. In other words, I am all about maturing the saints so that they get into their ministry. Every saint should have a ministry. And if you don't, I'm not gonna say you're in trouble, but you're in trouble. I know it's not something to laugh at, but if you're listening to this ministry, then you're not gonna stay the same from message to message. I guarantee it. Just listen to what they say and do it. Listen, there are times when the truth doesn't just come out through teaching, it comes through sound. And it carries the same call we talk about here, which is that we go deeper, beyond the surface and into the place where truth is found. You notice treasure oftentimes it has to be found because it is usually hidden. It's the same way with the Word of God. You can read the Bible cover to cover one time, but when you do it five or six or seven or thirty or fifty or a hundred or two hundred times, the kind of treasure you find in those pursuits is a lot different than the kind of treasure you find reading it just once through. And I know I'm not talking about everybody. I'm only talking about the one percenters. The rest of y'all had better figure out what to do in terms of getting that word of God in you. Because in these last days, the deception is gonna come and you're not gonna know what to do. And it's very hard to train for battle when the battle's upon you, and the battle is upon us. So I say again, if you've been listening, you already know that the treasure is usually always hidden. And but when it comes to the things of God, it is hidden, and but then as it is sought out, it is discovered by getting into deep waters and allowing the Holy Spirit to provide the revelation that you will need to fully understand the value of the newly discovered treasure. So again, I place a link of the song into the intro in this message, and but also included it within the message. It is housed on Spotify where as you click on the link, you will also have access to my sister's many other songs which are now being released, and will continue to be so. So, in other words, it is more spiritually profitable to click on the link so that you can have access to her music library. She is an extraordinary writer, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit about life issues and successes and everything in the middle that we have all or will encounter in our lifetime. Music, the way it is presented, as well as how the industry will function in the future is changing. And we can thank God for that. Now people who have the ability to write, but maybe didn't have the calling to invest what it takes to take a song public can now do so. Technology has some upsides, and so we can expect that the opportunities will flow to those in which the existing industries and structures may have discounted because they didn't want to play by their rules, which in far too many cases lacked any type of moral structure. Sit with the song, let it speak to you, and if it resonates, share it with someone else who might be searching. Alright, so here's the song.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, he's the podcast preacher, reaching nations with the word, dropping revelation like you never even heard. Heard catch him on the mic. Yeah, his rhythm is revival. First thing you tell you, open up your Bible, read it at the beach while you're taking that wave. Read it on a holly while you're riding like a snake. Read it while you skipped, flying down the slope, just keep your eyes on this look at the loser. Let it stay for your day. Let it let your friends, let it go, finger the fluid so the features in you is the one. Take it with your chest, read your Bible. The podcast, which you said, reach your Bible. Anyway you go, get a breach of Bible. In the secret place, don't play, read your Bible.

Her talent for writing inspirational songs will bear fruit in your life as you give an open ear. She is legit, prophetic, and you will be ministered to her by her words. Let's close in prayer. May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before your God and Father at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. Now may the God of peace, the one in whom we call wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. May He Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus. To our Lord of Lords and our King of Kings, to our high and lifted up, great high priest, who has once and for all paid the price, that you might see and hear God, may He hear and respond to our prayers. To our God we stand and pray as He too always lives to make intercession for you while seated at the right hand of the Father. May the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do his will. Working in you what is well pleasing in his sight. Amen. Well that's it for today. Remember it's not what you find wrong or disagree with regarding these messages, but what you can take away from. Together we can do more to impact the kingdom than if we work alone. Let's flip the script and kill, still, and destroy the works of the enemy and create space for the light of lights to shine through in people's lives.
