Conrad Rocks | Spiritual Warfare, Supernatural Faith & Kingdom Living

Avoiding the Snare of Distraction Have you ever felt like you were running a race with lead weights tied to your ankles? You know God has called you to a specific task. You feel the fire in your bones, the clarity of the commission, and the weight of the "yes" you gave to the Lord. But then, the phone rings. An old friend has a "crisis" that isn't really a crisis. A neighbor wants to debate a theological point that doesn't lead to any fruit. Or perhaps, another "spiritual" person comes along with a word that sounds good but feels just a little bit off. Before you know it, you are exhausted. Your energy is spent, your focus is shattered, and that mission God gave you? It’s sitting on the shelf, gathering dust. You’ve been fighting, sure.

You listen to the big-name preachers, you follow the crowd, and you defer to the scholars, but there is still a nagging sense that something is missing. That pain you feel is the friction between your spirit and the man-made presupposi...

Occult Deception The screen flickers with a "harmless" show about teenage witches, or perhaps a movie where the vampire is the misunderstood hero. It seems like entertainment, but beneath the surface, a deadly hook is being set. The Pain: The High Cost of "Harmless" Curiosity Many are drawn to the supernatural because they want power, healing, or knowledge without the "restriction" of submitting to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. I know this path because I walked it. I delved into the New Age, seeking the supernatural, only to find myself ensnared by the demonic. This fascination isn't just a hobby; it is a doorway. What starts as a "spiritual exploration" quickly turns into oppression, addiction, and spiritual misery. Even within the Church, I see believers mesmerized by "signs and lying wonders," mistakenly believing they can study the darkness to understand the light. "Even ...
