Beyond the Veil: Understanding Spiritual Information and Its Sources Today, we're diving into a topic that could transform your spiritual journey—the four main sources of information in the spirit realm. Introduction Have you ever wondered where the insights you receive during prayer or meditation come from? As someone who has been born again since 1995 and spent countless hours praying for others and myself, I've learned the importance of discernment. Understanding the source of spiritual information is crucial, whether it’s God, demons, our own hearts, or projections from others. Let’s explore these sources together. The Main Sources of Spiritual Information Demons: The Deceptive Enemy Demons are real, and their main goal is to mislead and draw us away from the truth. They often present false information to waste our time and thwart the gospel. In Deuteronomy 5:09, we learn about the generational curses that demons carry out. These familiar spirits know our family history we...

How Closing Your Eyes Can Transform Your Prayer Life Hey there, fellow seekers of the spirit! It's Conrad here, coming at you with some rock-solid revelation about prayer that's going to transform your spiritual life. Today, we're diving deep into a practice that's so common, yet so misunderstood: praying with our eyes closed.  Introduction: Seeing Beyond the Physical You know, it's funny how something as simple as closing our eyes during prayer can be such a game-changer in our spiritual walk. But let me tell you, there's more to this practice than meets the eye (pun intended!).  As someone who's passionate about helping others develop a deeper relationship with the biblical Jesus, I've discovered that closing our eyes in prayer isn't just about blocking out distractions. It's about opening up a whole new realm of spiritual vision.  The Spiritual Significance of Closed-Eye Prayer Now, you might be wondering, "Conrad, what's the big deal...

Supernatural Levitation - bible & history Today, I’m diving into an extraordinary event from my life—a moment when I woke up on the ceiling. Yes, you read that right! This surreal experience is one of many that I discuss in my book, "Open Your Eyes: My Supernatural Journey." As a firm believer in having a spiritual relationship with the Biblical Jesus, I aim to help you understand the spiritual forces at play in our lives. Together, let's explore this mysterious realm through biblical teachings, historical accounts, and personal reflections. Understanding Spiritual Forces The supernatural encounter of waking up on the ceiling was undoubtedly a demonic event, one that God allowed for a greater purpose. Much like how the Lord allowed the devil to torment Job and sift Peter like wheat, nothing happens without His knowledge. This experience pushed me to seek biblical context and understanding of spiritual forces that can move physical bodies. Biblical References: Spiritu...

A Terrifying Night from My Childhood Today, I want to take you on a journey back to a night that changed my life forever. It’s a night that I can never forget, filled with fear, confusion, and a supernatural encounter that left an indelible mark on my soul. As a child, I faced an experience so terrifying that it still sends shivers down my spine. This encounter taught me invaluable lessons about spiritual warfare, the power of Jesus, and the importance of being vigilant against the forces of darkness.  A Night of Supernatural Encounter I was only five years old, sound asleep in my room in Houston, Texas. My father and stepmom were still awake in another room. Suddenly, an unseen assailant entered my room. He put his hand over my mouth and nose, suffocating me as I slept. In my deep slumber, I sensed something was wrong. I couldn’t breathe and struggled to wake up, but it felt like I was trapped underwater, unable to reach the surface. As I fought to wake up, I was paralyzed with fe...

Have you ever felt like you were trudging through jello? Like every step you took was heavy, burdened by a darkness you couldn't quite name? Maybe you've felt that spiritual "ceiling" where no matter how much you try to reach out, something is pushing back. Today, I’m sharing a testimony that has been years in the making. I’m talking about Alexandria Butler. Many of you know her on Facebook as "Baptized in the Holy Spirit." Her life story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of faith. She moved from the deep, murky depths of tarot cards and witchcraft into the radiant light of God’s love. If you’re struggling with demonic oppression, feeling numb, or wondering if Jesus still does the supernatural today—this is for you. Imagine growing up in a world where your "normal" involves seeing dark, misty clouds following people around. Alexandria was born with the ability to see into the spirit realm, but without the covering of Christ, th...

 A Powerful Testimony of God's Transforming Love: Richard James Dixon Jr.'s Story Recently on the "Coffee with Conrad" podcast, I had the privilege of interviewing Richard James Dixon Jr. from Real Talk Interactive about his powerful testimony of how Jesus Christ transformed his life. This inspiring story is a must-listen for any Christian who loves to hear about the supernatural power of God at work.   Richard grew up in a godly family with six siblings. His parents raised them in holiness, but Richard admits he was a mischievous child who acted out and put his parents through a lot. Even at a young age though, he felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit whenever he misbehaved.  One pivotal moment came when God allowed Richard to see how exhausted his mother was with his behavior. It broke his heart and he realized he needed to change. Around this time, Richard also experienced sexual abuse from someone outside the family. This left deep scars that affected him mental...

Radical Discipleship: Rediscovering the Transformative Power of Following Jesus What did Jesus Really mean when He said "Make Disciples"? As I delved into researching the stark differences between first-century discipleship and our modern practices, I was struck by how far we've drifted from Jesus' original intent. In this podcast, I explore what it truly meant to be a disciple in Jesus' time and how we can recapture that radical, life-altering commitment today. In first-century Israel, being a disciple of a rabbi was a high calling that required complete dedication. Disciples would leave everything behind—family, possessions, and their former way of life—to follow their rabbi closely, learning to imitate him in every way. The goal was not merely to acquire knowledge but to become a living embodiment of the rabbi's teachings and character. Contrast this with today's discipleship, which often emphasizes comfort, personal fulfillment, and classroom-style lea...

A Biblical Approach to Prophetic Discernment As Christians with a deep interest in the prophetic realm, it can be all too easy to get swept up in the hype and speculation that often surrounds major celestial events or geopolitical shifts. From failed rapture predictions to sensational claims about the "Shemitah" cycle, the modern Church has far too often traded genuine spiritual insight for emotionally-charged narratives that appeal to our desire to know the future. Conrad tackles this critical issue head-on, drawing a clear distinction between the characteristics of true biblical prophecy and the logical fallacies underlying so many contemporary prophetic claims. By examining examples like Gideon, Jeremiah, and Samuel, he provides a robust framework for developing the spiritual discernment needed to navigate this complex landscape. One of the key lessons Conrad emphasizes is the importance of avoiding the trap of "prophecy by hindsight." Far too often, self-proclai...

Prophetic Warning to America In a shocking incident on March 26th, 2024, the cargo ship "Dali" lost propulsion and crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in a catastrophic collision. But this event was more than just a maritime accident - it carried profound prophetic implications that the American church cannot ignore.  The Controversial UN Abstention Just hours prior, the United States took the unprecedented step of abstaining from a United Nations vote calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. This marked the first time in history that America refused to stand with its longtime ally Israel, appearing to "turn its back" on the nation. The Prophetic Artist: Dali Astonishingly, the name of the ship itself seems linked to famous surrealist painter Salvador Dali, whose works provide eerie foreshadowing of America's spiritual state: Dali's 1959 work "The Discovery of America" depicts Columbus's arrival, but with clear Christian imagery ...

  Reap a Harvest of Faith: Become a Co-Laborer with God Have you ever felt a yearning to make a real difference in the world? That feeling of wanting your life to count for something bigger? You're not alone. Millions of people share that same desire, and the good news is, there's a powerful way to turn that yearning into a fulfilling reality. In this episode of Coffee with Conrad, we dive deep into the concept of sowing the Word of God and reaping a harvest of faith. Conrad Rocks, your host, explains how you can become a co-laborer with God, partnering with the divine to spread the message of love and hope. Imagine the Word of God as a seed, bursting with potential.  Just like a seed needs fertile ground to grow, God's word needs receptive hearts to take root and flourish. As Christians, we are entrusted with the incredible opportunity to sow these seeds, to share the Gospel with others, and witness the transformative power of faith. The podcast explores the concept o...

Living a Life of Kingdom Purpose  Do you ever feel like you're just spinning plates?  Rushing from one task to another, putting out fires, yet not moving closer to your kingdom calling? As followers of Christ, we're commissioned to bear fruit and make disciples. Yet it's so easy to get caught up in busyness rather than purposeful building of God's kingdom.  In the podcast "From Spinning Plates to Sowing Seeds," Conrad challenges us to shift from a mentality of checking tasks off a list to one focused on leaving a legacy. What if we evaluated our activities not based on urgency but rather their capacity to nurture our faith and serve others?   Jesus' parable of the sower illustrates that seeds landing on good soil multiply exponentially. As Conrad explains, "We need to find receptive hearts to sow the seed of the gospel into." This begins with building relationships, creating safe spaces for spiritual conversations to unfold. Rather than a transa...

  Hearing God's Voice Above the Storm When life throws you a curveball, do you struggle to hear God's guidance through the anxious chaos in your mind? You're not alone.  Many of us instinctively turn to prayer in difficult times, desperately seeking answers and direction. But amidst the inner turmoil, God's voice can feel drowned out.  What if I told you there's a secret to breaking through the barriers of your racing thoughts to clearly connect with God's Spirit? A way to tap into the realm where prayers are powerfully answered and miracles unfold? In this podcast, you'll discover: Why Intellect-Driven Prayer Falls Short When consumed by a heavy problem, it's natural to immediately begin praying for a solution or relief. But caught in the storm of your carnal mind, it's easy for your petitions to feel ineffective.  As the Apostle Paul explains, our earthly understanding is limited when it comes to spiritual matters. While praying intellectually has ...

  Speaking to your Mountain In Mark 11:21-26, we find an often-misinterpreted and misapplied passage about the power of our words and the faith to back them up. Specifically, Jesus tells his disciples that if they speak to a mountain, telling it to be lifted up and thrown in the sea, it will happen for them. The "Name It and Claim It" Crowd Of course, this verse gets pulled out of context by the "Name It and Claim It" prosperity gospel folks. They focus only on the part about speaking to mountains, forgetting the sandwich bread - which is having faith in God first and operating in forgiveness second. They want to "name and claim" cars, houses, and bling without any thought of delighting in and having faith in God. Missing the "Have Faith in God" Part Jesus begins this teaching by pointing back to the fig tree that he had cursed, which then withered. He tells them in verse 22 to "Have faith in God." Our faith and expectations must be gro...
