Conrad Rocks | Spiritual Warfare, Supernatural Faith & Kingdom Living

  I was sitting there, the steam from my coffee rising in thin, swirling ribbons, much like the prayers I was trying to send up to the throne room. My Bible was open, my heart was willing, but my mind? My mind was everywhere else. Have you ever been there? You start out with the best of intentions, "Lord, I’m yours today," and within three minutes you’re wondering if you remembered to pay the electric bill or what that weird noise in the car was this morning. It’s frustrating. It’s like trying to catch a cloud with your bare hands. You want that deep, supernatural connection, but you keep "bouncing out" of the Spirit and landing hard back in your carnal reality. This is the struggle of the modern believer. We know there is a depth in God we haven’t reached. We hear the stories of the old-timers—the Seymours, the Mullers, the Finneys—who stayed in the presence for hours, and we feel like we’re just splashing in the puddles. We wade into the water, it hits our ankle...

My Grandfather used to tell me that every time I get bucked off a horse just get right back on. In other words, continue until I mastered the horse. God tells us early in Genesis chapter four that sin lies at the door and we are to rule over it. Genesis 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him . Sin is trying to destroy us :-) And he has a lot of help from our flesh! But seriously, if we've dug ourselves a pit. Or we have developed an iniquity. Or we have opened that door to sin to where the Devil comes in and tramples us over, and over, and over. I'm going to tell you - JUST CONTINUE ! Do you want freedom? Continue in the word of God! Don't give up. Get back on the horse every time you get bucked off! Jesus tells us if we continue in His Word we will be His disciples and we will know the truth and the truth will make us free. ...

  The air was heavy, like a wet wool blanket draped over my shoulders. I was sitting in my room, staring at the wall, and I felt that familiar, dark shadow creeping in. If you have ever struggled with depression, you know exactly what I’m talking about. It is a spirit that tries to nest in your hair if you let it. I had seen the doctors, I had taken the pills, but I realized something profound during that season: pills don't work on the devil. I was entertaining thoughts of missing my family, letting the "pity party" go on a little too long. It is like the birds flying over your head—you cannot stop them from flying, but it is your fault if you let them build a nest. I was in the middle of this battle when the Lord began to turn my perspective around. I was reading through Ezekiel, and usually, when I read about the "rebellious people," I see it through a lens of judgment. But the Holy Spirit whispered something different to my heart that day. He showed me His ...

At this point in my life, I believe the world's best Christians may be at most 'kindergarten' level when it comes to the things of God. Sometimes I get these amazing revelations and when I step back and look at it, it really should be Christianity 101. What seems like amazing revelations when I have them, is really just entry level stuff from God’s perspective. Therefore, I don't pretend to know it all. Because I don’t. But there are little bits and pieces of wisdom that I can share along The Way. One of them is to be willing to look stupid for Jesus. We don't get a word of knowledge for everybody that we pray for. Not everyone gets healed even when we minister with people with the gifts of healing. Often when we pray for people it seems like nothing happens at all. During these encounters, we share the love of Jesus the best we can, always being sensitive to the Spirit of God to lead us. Because on the surface it feels like nothing happened, we can ...

Are you going through a fiery trial right now? I mean, the kind of heat where you feel like you're being scorched by the circumstances of life? Maybe you feel like everything is falling apart, and you’re wondering where God is in the middle of the smoke. Perhaps you feel like a "brand plucked from the fire." If that's you, I want you to lean in today. There is a specific, prophetic purpose for that heat, and it isn't to destroy you—it’s to mark you. Introduction It was a Tuesday morning, and I was doing the most mundane things imaginable. I was cleaning the house, moving from room to room, and I decided to fire up the grill. I like to cook a bunch of food on the grill early in the week—get that mesquite wood going—and save it so I have meals ready to go. I was listening to the Bible on audio while I worked, letting the Word wash over me. I’ve found that when I’m doing these "autopilot" chores, it’s often when the Holy Spirit chooses to speak the loudes...

Sidewalk chalk Ministry The Sidewalk chalk does a lot of work all on its own. Last weekend, for example, this one very large strong man on the sidewalk was looking at the scriptures and his head was drooping down. Obviously, something was stirring within him as he was walking past the scriptures. He sat down and I approached him and asked him what was going on. He was very heavy over his family situation. I ministered to him for about 20 to 30 minutes right there by the sidewalk chalk. It was a matter of listening to God, repenting, and putting feet to faith. Two ladies came up to us that we had never met before. They said they led two other people to the Lord that were contemplating the sidewalk chalk scriptures. Other people come up to us and say that when they read the Scriptures it is a word in season for them. Something they needed to hear at that moment. Often times, people will come up to us to talk about what we are doing. We begin to engage with them about th...

Christians are scared to share the gospel because of rejection. They need rejection therapy. Rejection therapy is asking a person a question knowing that the answer is probably going to be 'no' and being able to walk away unscathed. So if you need to work your way up to sharing the gospel with somebody, try out some rejection therapy. You most likely won't get beat up. You won't get shot at. You may laugh and find out how silly that fear of rejection really is. Jesus says 'ask and you will receive'. You'd be surprised at how many people say 'yes' to the craziest things. Here's some ideas: Hug a Walmart Greeter Have a Tour in a Library Ask Strangers for Compliments Ask a stranger to try on their shoes Get a Free Room at a Hotel Ask for a discount at Starbucks Challenge a stranger to a Staring Contest Race a Random Person Sit in Police Car's Driver Seat Take a selfie with a stranger You probably won't get...
