Conrad Rocks | Spiritual Warfare, Supernatural Faith & Kingdom Living

The air was crisp and still this morning as I stepped out for my daily prayer walk. I’ve come to cherish these moments where the only sounds are the rustle of the pines and the occasional bird call. Usually, I’ve got my headphones on—listening to the Word, a solid podcast, or maybe an audiobook—but today, the Holy Spirit nudged me to just listen. There is a profound difference between hearing about God and hearing from God. As I walked, my mind drifted back to a concept I’ve discussed many times on my podcast, Coffee with Conrad , but one that bears repeating until it is etched into our very spirits: identifying and binding the strongman. You see, so many of us are walking through life feeling like we’re constantly under the heel of the enemy. We struggle with the same sins, the same anxieties, and the same "bad habits" for years, wondering why our prayers for deliverance seem to hit a brass ceiling. We want to be free, but we’re exhausted. We’re tired of the cycle. We’ve t...

There is a biblical protocol in Matt 18 about having an ought against our brother. Notes: Matt 7:2 we determine the judgment meted back to us; Giving the benefit of the doubt so we get the same treatment; Matt 7:3 Why are we even looking at the mote in our brother's eye?: We have our beams to deal with! ; Casting out our beam before we deal with the speck; Love should be the motivation; Don't deal with people outside the church; Don't be the accuser or stir up strife, but walk in love; Serious ought, not a trivial ought; Go to them privately; Don't become the problem! ; Examine your motivation; Get mentors you both respect if possible - not sons of Belial; Mentors, might show us that we are in error! ; People seem to ALWAYS leave something out in their suit! ; Be guided by the Holy Spirit and scripture; Spirit and the Word agree; The fornicator of Corinth was a big deal ; Corinthians had some problems, but encouraged each other; Gal...

Susan and I debate about where we originally met whether it be on Twitter or on Google Plus.   but one thing's for sure, we began talking to each other on one of my #QuestionsThatRock posts on Google Plus I was asking about the difference between being a disciple of Christ  and a follower of Christ.  That's how it all began. We met in person in Austin Texas on August 25th, 2012.   She is @ConservativeSue on Twitter, so it made sense for us to meet at the State Capitol.  Here she is next to the Ten Commandments. We were married a year later in Lampasas Texas by her father Curtis Petrey.  This Picture was taken in Kempner Texas at a fabulous little barbecue place.  (Jeannette, Chris, Nancy, Curtis, Zach, C.J. Me and Susan.)
