Cessationist Pastor Gets Healed Part 2 - Garry Nesbit Interview

Image
I remember the fluorescent hum of a Walmart aisle on a Sunday night. It is the kind of place where you expect to find milk, bread, or maybe a discounted set of tires—not necessarily a manifestation of the raw power of the Holy Spirit. But there I was, talking with my friend Garry Nesbitt, a man who spends his days repairing windshields and his spare moments repairing broken lives through prayer. Garry has this habit, one that every believer should cultivate: he and his wife ask God every single day to cross their paths with someone who needs a touch from the Lord. On this particular Sunday evening, they weren't looking for a theological debate. They were just picking up a few items when they saw a man sitting in one of those chairs near the front of the store, visibly twisted in pain. Beside him was his cousin. As Garry struck up a conversation, he discovered something striking: this man wasn't just a random shopper; he was an associate pastor at a cessationist church. For tho...

Cessationist Pastor Gets Healed Part 1

Image
I remember standing in a small West Texas town years ago, just a young boy sitting in a school auditorium. The air was thick with anticipation. There were some singers—I forget their names now—and a man preaching the Word. But then, something happened that I will never forget. The presence of the Holy Spirit came into that little auditorium so strongly it felt like a physical weight. I remember thinking, "Wow, God is here." I was so moved, so shaken by the reality of His presence, that it changed the way I looked at everything. But here is the struggle: many of us are raised in environments where we are told those experiences aren't for today. You might be sitting in a pew every Sunday, reading your Bible, and yet feeling like there is a wall between you and the power described in the book of Acts. You see the miracles in the text, but your daily life feels devoid of the supernatural. Maybe you have even been told, as I was, that the "gifts have ceased." This ...

Why does the Church ignore Pentecost?

Image
Have you ever scrolled through your social media feed in late spring and noticed a strange silence? In December, your screen is a literal forest of Christmas trees. By April, it’s a flood of pastel eggs and bunnies. But then comes Pentecost—one of the most earth-shaking, supernatural events in the history of the world—and... nothing. Crickets. It’s like the "birthday of the Church" has become the holiday the modern establishment wants to forget. I remember sitting in a stiff wooden pew years ago, surrounded by the smell of old hymnals and floor wax. The preacher was a good man, but he was a firm cessationist. He spoke about the Bible as if it were a history book about a God who used to do cool things but had since retired to a library. When the topic of Pentecost came up, it was treated like a strange, one-time lightning strike that we should study from a safe distance, but never, ever expect to happen again. This is the pain point for so many of us today. We read about the...

The Christian Yoga Deception

The Christian Yoga Deception: Uncovering the Hidden Dangers Welcome back to Coffee with Conrad! I'm your host, Conrad from ConradRocks.Net . My heart burns with a passion for you to have a deep, spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus, the God of the Bible. The God who declared, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3, KJV), and who warned us against worshipping Him according to the ways of the heathen, saying, "Learn not the way of the heathen..." (Jeremiah 10:2, KJV). It grieves me to see how easily we, as believers, can be led astray, sometimes even with good intentions. Today, we're diving into a topic that has become increasingly prevalent in modern church culture: Christian yoga. Is it really okay for Christians to practice yoga? Let's explore the hidden dangers lurking beneath what often seems like a harmless form of exercise. My Journey and a Word of Warning For those who are new to my podcast, my background is probably a b...

Christ the Healer - Book Review

Image
I remember sitting in a hospital room, the air heavy with that clinical, sterile scent and the quiet murmurs of a family saying their final goodbyes. Unbelievers filled the space, and the atmosphere was thick with the finality of death. As I stood there, I heard it—not an audible voice, but a command in the spirit so clear and so heavy that I knew disobedience wasn't an option: "Go pray for her." I didn't have a theological degree in healing. I didn't even know what to say. I felt completely out of my element, like a kid trying to fix a jet engine with a plastic screwdriver. I just walked over, laid hands on her, and prayed something—I don't even remember the words. There were no bells, no whistles, and no visible angels singing. We all just went home, expecting the inevitable phone call from the morgue. But the next morning, the phone rang with a different message: she was being released. She had totally recovered. When I went back into that room, she grabbe...
