A Prophetic Dream of Nazi Germany: Lessons for Today's Christians

A Dream of Nazi Germany and Its Warning for Today's Church


As a passionate believer in developing a spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus, I often find myself receiving profound insights through dreams. Recently, I had a dream that transported me back to the time of Nazi Germany, and I believe it holds a powerful message for Christians today.

The Dream: A Glimpse into Darkness

In my dream, I found myself in a building with a man when a Nazi soldier entered. The soldier began berating the man, telling him he was worthless and had to obey the Nazi regime. I felt like an angelic presence, there to bring light into this dark situation.

I told the man, "I'm from the future. This soldier is part of a conspiracy of evil, working for the rulers of darkness. He's trying to brainwash you. You have a future in Jesus, a destiny that's far greater than what this man is telling you."

This encounter reminded me of Jesus' words in Luke 22:52-54, where He spoke about the "hour and the power of darkness" before His crucifixion. Just as Jesus brought light into the darkest moment in history, we are called to be bearers of His light in our world today.

The Parallels to Our Time

As I reflected on this dream, I couldn't help but draw parallels to our current situation in America. The fruit of the Spirit isn't as evident in our streets as it once was. Morality, which was a big deal in the 40s and 50s, seems to have taken a backseat. Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24 that "the love of many shall wax cold because iniquity shall abound." We're seeing this unfold before our eyes.

The Rise of Darkness: A Historical Perspective

The rise of Hitler in Germany serves as a sobering reminder of how darkness can overtake a nation, even one with a strong Christian heritage. In 1933, nearly all Germans identified as Christian, with about 40 million Protestants and 20 million Catholics. Yet, they allowed an evil regime to rise to power.

How did this happen? The answer lies in a combination of factors:

1. Resentment and pride: The harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles left Germans feeling humiliated and angry.

2. Manipulation of media and propaganda: Hitler was a master at swaying public opinion.

3. Gradual compromises: People made small concessions until it was too late.

4. Misuse of Scripture: Hitler used Romans 13 to justify submission to his authority.

The Danger of Complacency

In my dream, the man I encountered was resigned to believe the Nazi soldier's lies. He valued the power of the gun more than the power of the cross. This is a stark reminder of how complacency can lead us to make hell our refuge, as Isaiah 28:14-16 warns.

As Christians, we must be vigilant against this kind of complacency. We can't afford to be lukewarm in our faith or silent in the face of evil. Jesus calls us to be the light of the world, not to hide our light under a bushel.

The Call to Action: Be the Light

So, what can we do to push back the darkness in our own time? Here are some practical steps:

1. Engage with those around us: Instead of being distracted by TV or other passive entertainment, let's actively reach out to our neighbors with the love of Christ.

2. Prayer walk our neighborhoods: Let's saturate our communities with prayer.

3. Participate in events like the National Day of Prayer: Join with other believers to intercede for our nation.

4. Study the Word: Don't just cherry-pick verses, but understand the full context of Scripture.

5. Be discerning: Just because someone claims to be Christian doesn't mean they're following Christ's teachings. Look at the fruit of their actions.

A Personal Reflection

This dream has deeply impacted me, reinforcing my commitment to be a light in the darkness. It's easy to get discouraged when we see the state of our world, but we must remember that we serve a God who is greater than any earthly power.

As your brother in Christ and fellow warrior for the Kingdom, I urge you to join me in this mission. Let's not be the kind of Christians who would be fooled by the Antichrist or tempted to take the mark of the beast. Instead, let's be bold, loving, and uncompromising in our faith.

If this message has touched your heart, I encourage you to take action:

1. Share this post with friends and family on social media.

2. Rate and review the Conrad Rocks podcast wherever you listen.

3. Consider supporting our ministry at ConradRocks.net/support.

Together, we can make a difference. Let's dig deeper, go higher, and be the light that pushes back the darkness in our generation.


Until we meet again, may God bless you and keep you in His perfect peace.

Miracles in Memphis: A Day of Divine Healing

Faith in Action: Miraculous Healings and Spiritual Warfare at the VA




Hey there, faithful followers! It's Conrad from ConradRocks.Net, and I've got an incredible story to share with you today. Recently, I had the privilege of witnessing some truly miraculous events that reaffirmed my belief in the power of prayer and the healing touch of Jesus. Join me as I recount a day filled with supernatural encounters and life-changing moments at the VA hospital in Memphis.

From Worship to Healing

Our day began like many others, with a group of us gathering in the park for worship. As we praised the Lord, a powerful thought struck us – why not take our faith directly to those who need it most? With a burst of inspiration, we decided to head to the VA hospital, armed with nothing but our signs and an unwavering belief in the healing power of Jesus.

The anticipation was palpable as we carpooled to the hospital. You could feel the excitement in the air, a tangible sense that we were about to witness something extraordinary. Little did we know just how incredible our day would become.

Divine Encounters in the Hospital Hallway

As we entered the hospital, we found ourselves in a long construction hallway. It was here that we encountered our first miracle of the day. A woman named Sibylle, barely able to walk and clearly in agony, caught sight of our "Need Free Prayer" sign and stopped us.

My friend Garry, a true man of faith, began talking to her about her relationship with God and the importance of forgiveness. Then, he prayed for her. What happened next was nothing short of miraculous. Sibylle, who had been struggling to stand moments before, was now raising her hands in praise and even dancing! Her diabetic foot pain had significantly decreased, and she was overcome with joy.

This encounter set the tone for the rest of our day. We had witnessed the healing power of Jesus firsthand, and our faith was ignited like never before.

Facing Spiritual Warfare in the Waiting Room

As we made our way to the VA waiting room, we encountered a stark contrast to the joy we had just experienced. The atmosphere was heavy with apathy and unbelief. It was a stark reminder of the spiritual warfare we face when doing God's work.

Despite the challenging environment, we persevered. We approached people, offering prayer and healing in Jesus' name. While many declined, we found a willing participant in a man named Earl. When asked about his faith, Earl humbly replied that he had faith the size of a mustard seed – the perfect answer!

We prayed for Earl, who was visibly in pain with swollen legs. At first, he was hesitant to stand, still gripped by disbelief. But as he left the waiting room, something amazing happened. By the time we caught up with him in the parking lot, Earl was dancing and running, completely healed!

The Power of Childlike Faith

This experience with Earl taught me a valuable lesson about the power of childlike faith. Even when our initial prayers don't seem to yield immediate results, we must trust in God's timing and continue to believe. Earl's healing didn't manifest instantly, but his willingness to take that first step of faith opened the door for a miraculous transformation.

Spreading Hope and Healing

Our day of miracles didn't end at the VA hospital. We felt led to continue our mission at the local bus station, a place where we've witnessed many powerful encounters in the past. Although the crowd was smaller than usual, we were able to minister to a young woman struggling with unforgiveness. Through prayer and counsel, we saw her begin to experience emotional healing and freedom.

Biblical Reflections on Healing

As I reflect on the events of that day, I'm reminded of Jesus' words in Mark 16:17-18: "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

Our experiences at the VA hospital and bus station were living testimonies to the truth of this scripture. We saw people healed, set free from emotional bondage, and touched by the supernatural power of God. It's a powerful reminder that the miracles we read about in the Bible are not confined to ancient history – they're available to us today through faith in Jesus Christ.

Personal Reflections and Growth

This day of miracles has had a profound impact on my own faith journey. With each healing we witness, I find my faith growing stronger and my boldness increasing. It's as if we're climbing from one plateau of faith to the next, continually expanding our understanding of what's possible through Christ.

I'm also learning the importance of persistence in prayer. Just as Jesus sometimes prayed for people multiple times before they received full healing, we must be willing to press in and not give up at the first sign of resistance. Our experience with Earl is a perfect example of this principle in action.

As I wrap up this account of our miraculous day in Memphis, I want to encourage you, my dear readers, to step out in faith. The same Jesus who healed Sibylle's feet and restored Earl's ability to walk is alive and active today. He wants to use you to bring His healing touch to a hurting world.

Don't let fear or doubt hold you back. Remember, even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. If you're facing physical, emotional, or spiritual challenges, I invite you to reach out. Follow me on social media, and we will stand with you in prayer.

And for those of you who want to see these miracles for yourself, I've included a link to the video footage from our day at the VA in my bio. Watch it, be inspired, and then go out and be the hands and feet of Jesus in your own community.

Until we meet again, remember to dig deeper and go higher in your faith journey. The supernatural realm is closer than you think, and Jesus is waiting to work miracles through you!

#TeamJesus on Beale St

Conrad Rocks does more than just podcasts. Sometimes we actually go out and DO STUFF for #Jesus!

We learned a lot from ministries like  Memphis Union Mission, Merge Memphis, and the Urban Bicycle Food Ministry .  Great people that truly have a heart for the people in Memphis.  
We saw what Valerie Cambpell was doing with the 52 Random Acts of kindness and what Merge Memphis was doing with Project Warm Memphis- so we  started making goodie bags for the homeless.  

I wanted to share a couple of clips with you to give you an idea of what we are talking about. 
Keep in mind, while we are actually ministering, i am not in the habit of getting it on camera.  

Thanks to Michael Burke,  Garry and Nancy Nesbit (and others) for helping out.  More to come from them in the future.
