Spiritual Reality vs. Personal Happiness: A Prophetic Call to Follow Jesus Into Supernatural, Biblical Living

The Call to Follow Jesus


Are Christians called to drift through life on clouds of comfort with butterflies and bowls of cherries—or are we called to something deeper, more spiritual, more biblical, and unquestionably more Jesus-centered? I’m Conrad from ConradRocks.Net, and this is Coffee with Conrad. My passion is simple and uncompromising: to help people develop a spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus—not just to know about Him, but to truly know Him.

Late last night, after scrolling past yet another post exalting “personal happiness,” I lay awake, listening to Scripture, praying, and wrestling with a prophetic burden. The modern church is awash in motivational messages that promise you can have it all if you just think positively and smile hard enough. But the Word calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus. That call is not anti-joy—it’s anti-illusion. And it leads us into a life that is deeply spiritual, unmistakably supernatural, and anchored in the eternal reality of the Kingdom of God.

The Personal Happiness Trap vs. Eternal Life

I’ve watched people enthusiastically profess Jesus when life feels like a victory parade—until testing hits. When trials come, some fall away because their foundation is “feel-good religion,” not the rock of Christ. Scripture doesn’t call us to idolize our lives; it calls us to love not our lives unto the death. “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” (Revelation 12:11, KJV)

If you’re living your “best life now,” what does that say about the life to come? Jesus didn’t promise a stress-free glidepath; He promised Himself—truth, freedom, joy, and eternal life. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6, KJV) and “ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32, KJV) That’s a freedom deeper than mood, more durable than circumstance, and more valuable than comfort.

Why Biblical Illiteracy Is a Spiritual Emergency

One of the great tragedies of our time is how biblically illiterate much of the church has become. We chase soundbites and slogans while leaving our Bibles closed. But how can we say we love Jesus yet remain unfamiliar with what He said? If we believe Jesus, we must believe His words—and that means we must read and obey His words.

Jesus speaks soberly to lukewarm believers: “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:15–16, KJV) If that doesn’t arrest our attention, what will?

Watchmen and Witnesses: Warning and Shining

In some seasons, God places a “watchman on the wall” mantle on us to warn of danger, deception, and drift. In other seasons, He calls us to be a radiant witness—salt with savor and light on a lampstand. Jesus said, “Ye are the salt of the earth… Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid… Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:13–16, KJV)

So which should we do—warn or shine? Often, both. If we love people, we warn them faithfully and we live visibly. It’s not “hate” to call for repentance; it’s mercy. The goal is not to win arguments; the goal is to win souls, to glorify our Father in heaven by walking in the way of Jesus.

Reverse-Engineering Spiritual Success: Copy What Works

Years ago in business, I learned to study what produced results and copy it. Why should spiritual life be different? Jesus promised that certain signs would follow believers. Where do we most consistently see those signs—healing, deliverance, transformed lives? Often in the streets and at the edges, where people lean wholly on Jesus and obey Him without excuse.

Look at the fruit. Look at the message. Look at the spiritual posture: Jesus is Lord of everything, not a countertop idol. People who immerse themselves in Him—who pray, saturate their minds in the Word, and obey—see the supernatural break in. That’s not hype; that’s what Jesus promised. If we want biblical results, we must embrace biblical living.

Why Care What Jesus Said? Because He’s Lord!

This might sound simple, but it’s revolutionary: We care about what Jesus said because He is Lord. We don’t follow Him for perks; we follow Him because He is the Truth. We don’t obey because obedience is fashionable; we obey because He is worthy. When we grasp that, we stop bargaining and start surrendering—gladly.

Laodicea and the Lie of Self-Sufficiency

The Laodicean church said, “I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing”—yet Jesus declared them “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” He counsels us to buy from Him gold tried in the fire (Revelation 3:17–18, KJV). Translation: step into the trials that purify faith, return to your first love, and live for eternal reward. Comfort without Christ is a subtle form of poverty.

From Head Knowledge to a Spiritual Encounter

Saul of Tarsus had the Scriptures memorized, but he didn’t know Jesus. On the Damascus road (Acts 9), Saul encountered the risen Lord and everything changed. His theology became testimony; his learning became love; his plans became the Lord’s plans. He endured persecution with joy because he had met the Truth. The shift from head to heart—from information to transformation—is the key to an authentic, supernatural Christian life.

That’s why I urge you to diligently seek God. “Without faith it is impossible to please him… he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6, KJV) Seek Him, and He will meet you. When He does, the fire comes, and lukewarmness flees.

Deny Yourself, Take Up Your Cross, and Follow Jesus

Jesus makes the path clear: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:24–26, KJV)

That sounds tough until you realize what’s on the other side: joy, freedom, and true life. Jesus isn’t out to subtract your joy; He’s out to subtract your idols so you can know real joy in Him. As we delight in Him, our hearts change. “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” (Psalm 37:4, KJV) He doesn’t rubber-stamp our old desires; He transforms them.

How God Transforms the Heart

Scripture is honest about the human heart: it’s not naturally aligned with God (see Genesis 6 and Jeremiah 17:9). But God promises purity to those who pursue Him. “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8, KJV) Jesus invites us to abide—“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you…” (John 15, KJV). Abiding shapes appetites. The more we walk in the Spirit, the less the flesh calls the shots.

That’s why Scripture celebrates a life led by the Spirit: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1, KJV) The Spirit-led life is a spiritual and supernatural life—a life where Christ lives in us and through us.

Moses, the Cross, and the Long View

Moses could have embraced Egyptian privilege; instead, he chose faithfulness with God’s people. “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.” (Hebrews 11:24–26, KJV) Moses took the long view—eternity over ease.

Jesus modeled the same: “Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame…” (Hebrews 12:2, KJV). This is what life in Christ looks like: seed sown, self surrendered, fruit multiplied. “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me…” (John 12:24–26, KJV)

Personal Reflections or Experiences

From Penthouse to Outhouse—And Why I’d Do It Again

Before I met Jesus in 1995, I had what many would call a dream life: a penthouse on the beach, dozens of employees, money, momentum, the whole outward package. On paper, I looked successful. Inside, I was miserable. The money didn’t fix my heart; it amplified what was broken.

When Jesus found me, everything changed—fast. I went from penthouse to outhouse, from human accolades to holy surrender. Did people think I was crazy? Sure. But I discovered a joy and a freedom I couldn’t buy, fake, or manufacture. I found someone worth living for—and yes, worth dying for. When Jesus said, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Matthew 16:26, KJV), it was like He was reading my mail. The world promises the world; Jesus promises life.

Night Watches, Open Bibles, and the Burden for Truth

In sleepless hours, I’ll turn on an audio Bible, listen to sermons, and pray. Those quiet moments often become holy moments when the Holy Spirit sharpens my focus. Recently, I kept circling back to the same burden: the church doesn’t value eternal life as much as it values short-term happiness. That’s not a slight—it’s a spiritual diagnosis.

The Lord’s been convicting me to both shout the truth and shine the truth—warning like a watchman and witnessing like a city on a hill. He keeps pressing me to model what I preach: to pray for people in everyday life, to be available, to be interruptible, to be faithful. I don’t film those moments; they aren’t props for a feed. They’re sacred. But I share enough to encourage believers: the supernatural still happens when we obey the biblical Jesus.

Asking the Only Question That Matters

On social media I sometimes ask, “How has Jesus changed your life?” The answers can be revealing. Too often, I hear about self-improvement plans and personal development—good things in their place—but little about a living encounter with the risen Lord. Making a mental decision that Jesus is Lord is not the same as knowing Him intimately. He wants a relationship, not a checkbox.

When people meet Jesus, everything reorients. You don’t have to force yourself to read Scripture; you hunger for it. You don’t have to psych yourself up to pray; you long to. You don’t compartmentalize Him to a shelf; He becomes life itself. That’s the transformation I’m contending for in myself and in the body of Christ.

Practical Steps for a Spiritual, Supernatural Walk

  1. Seek Jesus Diligently in Prayer. Set aside time daily to seek His face and listen for His voice. Open your heart and your Bible. Expect Him to reward diligent seeking (Hebrews 11:6).
  2. Rebuild Your Relationship With the Word. Read the Gospels to know Jesus’ voice and values. Let His words abide in you (John 15). Memorize and meditate. Obey immediately.
  3. Do the Next Obedient Thing. Don’t wait for a platform; obey Jesus in the little things. Ask to pray for someone. Encourage a neighbor. Give silently. Forgive generously.
  4. Refuse Lukewarmness. If your fire has cooled, “buy gold tried in the fire.” Serve in ways that stretch your faith. Fast a comfort to make room for hunger for God.
  5. Value Eternity Over Ease. Choose like Moses. Embrace the cross like Jesus. Remember: dying to self is the doorway to multiplied fruit (John 12:24–26).
  6. Anchor Joy in Jesus, Not Circumstances. Let the Spirit define your desires (Psalm 37:4). Learn to rejoice when maligned or misunderstood; heaven sees and rewards (Hebrews 12:2).

The gospel is not a promise of perpetual earthly ease; it is an invitation into the life of God. When we deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus, we step into a life that is far more spiritual, genuinely supernatural, and eternally significant than the pursuit of happiness could ever deliver. We move from lukewarm to burning, from self-satisfied to Spirit-satisfied, from temporary thrills to everlasting joy.

Abiding Prayer: Unlocking Spiritual Success through the Word

Why the Spiritual Battle Is Real


Sometimes, you know a message is spiritually vital because everything seems to conspire to stop you from sharing it. Today’s post comes out of a morning filled with nuisances, distractions, and technical battles. But when the enemy works overtime to block a word, I pay close attention—because that’s when something spiritually prophetic and life-changing is at hand. As I struggled through power washers blaring and computer frustrations just to record my podcast, I realized: This abiding message is desperately needed—both for myself and fellow believers thirsting for answers to prayer. If you’ve ever wondered why answers sometimes elude you, or how to move from spiritual dryness to supernatural fruitfulness, read on.

Main Message: The Power of Abiding in the Word

Have you ever had a moment where spiritual truth hits so deeply, it feels like trying to hold a flood in your bare hands? That’s the experience I had recently, a profound epiphany directly from time spent with Jesus—so weighty and exhilarating that it took days just to begin absorbing it all. This is what I want to pass on to you: the secret isn’t complicated, but it is supernatural and prophetic in scope. What God impressed on my spirit is that abiding in the Word—hiding it in our hearts, meditating day and night, letting it govern our thoughts and speech—is the foundation for answered prayer, spiritual success, and being used in the prophetic flow of the Holy Spirit.

Experiential and Speculative Spirituality

I stand here with both feet in two worlds: I know this from personal experience, and I see it affirmed in scripture after scripture. It’s one thing to speculate about God’s promises; it’s quite another to experience them directly—the joy, conviction, and supernatural power that come when you truly internalize His Word. We cannot live off someone else’s faith stories forever. Paul exhorted, “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 11:1) We are meant to be discipled, yes, but ultimately, we must cultivate a direct, spiritual relationship with Jesus for ourselves. That happens through the Word.

Personal Reflections: Divine Encounters and Trails of Truth

I’ve found again and again in my spiritual journey that the Holy Spirit brings to remembrance what Jesus has spoken—both in scripture and in those “now” moments of prophetic nudging. One weekend, as I prayed and meditated, I was prompted to go to an ordinary truck stop in Moss Point. That simple obedience to a spiritual prompting led to a divine encounter, a “God setup” that left no doubt I was on the right path. The more I learn to abide in Christ and internalize scripture, the more these supernatural moments multiply. God shows us things to come (see John 16:13), often confirming His Word in real time.

Looking over my life and those I mentor, I am continually amazed: those who treasure the Word—who talk of it, meditate on it, and let it shape their decisions—are those who see breakthrough, guidance, and victory in the spiritual realm. And when challenges come (as they always do), the difference is unmistakable. The Word hidden within becomes a bulwark, a resource, a sword and shield in the supernatural fight.

Scriptural Foundation: If-Then Promises and Abiding Principles

Joshua’s Key to Good Success

Let’s examine a bedrock scripture, Joshua 1:8 (KJV):

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Notice the logic here—there’s an unmistakable “if-then” built into the spiritual realm. If we speak God’s Word, meditate upon it continually, and apply it, then (and only then) will our way become prosperous and our prayers fruitful. This booster verse isn’t just about practical success; it’s about supernatural transformation.

The Hebrew word for “meditate” here (hagah) suggests murmuring, pondering, and rehearsing. Mull over and speak the Word—the fruit comes from repetition, contemplation, and saturation in scripture’s truths. As the psalmist wrote, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11, KJV)

Abiding in the Vine: Jesus’ Words in John 15

Jesus deepens this principle in John 15—a chapter brimming with spiritual and prophetic wisdom. He teaches:

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:7, KJV)

What an astounding promise—with a glorious condition! So many spiritual seekers quote “ask what ye will,” but skip over the “if.” The secret to prophetic prayers that bear supernatural fruit is simple: abide in Jesus, and let His words abide in you. This is no magic formula for selfish gain, but a key to living in profound harmony with the will of God.

The Full Counsel of God: Context Matters

It grieves me to see how often people “chop up” the Bible—plucking verses out of context to serve their own agendas. We’ve all seen the name-and-claim-it approach, using isolated scriptures as spiritual vending machines. But what does James caution?

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (James 4:3, KJV)

The truly prophetic and supernatural lifestyle comes not from cherry-picking verses, but from letting the whole counsel of God—the Word in context, applied with humility—shape our hearts, desires, and petitions. Jesus modeled this powerfully when resisting the devil in the wilderness, responding, “It is written again…” (Matthew 4:7, KJV), always matching scripture with scripture, never taking just a snippet but wielding the full authority of God’s voice.

Practical Steps: How to Abide Spiritually in Jesus and His Word

  1. Memorize Passages of Scripture
    Not just favorite verses—entire chapters and key teachings, especially the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7). Hiding the Word in our hearts makes it ready ammunition for both spiritual warfare and daily guidance.
  2. Meditate Day and Night
    Find rhythms of morning and evening reflection on the Word. Let Biblical truths linger in your thoughts before sleep, when your mind is most fertile for spiritual things.
  3. Speak the Word, Not Just Your Opinions
    Don’t let God’s message be diluted by your own words. “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matthew 12:34, KJV). Speak life by soaking in scripture.
  4. Obey What You Learn
    Discipleship isn’t mere head knowledge; it’s observing “to do” what Jesus taught (Matthew 7:24). When the Word takes root, application follows naturally.
  5. Pray in Alignment with God’s Heart
    True “spiritual” prayer emerges as your desires are reshaped by God’s desires. As Psalm 37:4 promises: “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”

Biblical References: Scripture at the Center

  • John 15:5-7: “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
  • Joshua 1:8: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth…”
  • Psalm 119:11: “Thy word have I hid in mine heart…”
  • James 4:3: “Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss…”
  • Matthew 7:24-27: Parable of building on the rock—hearing and doing Jesus’ words.

When we combine meditation, memorization, and application, we build our lives on the rock: unshakeable during storms, fruitful in season, and standing as prophetic witnesses to the supernatural power of God.

Personal Anecdotes: How the Word Transforms

Throughout years of walking with Jesus and ministering through ConradRocks.Net, I’ve witnessed countless examples—the sick healed, addictions broken, minds renewed, supernatural provision unleashed—all when individuals committed to abiding in both the Spirit and the Word. The “aha” moment comes most often not from a single prayer or a magical utterance, but through daily, Spirit-led engagement with God’s word. Times of testing come, but the inner bedrock of memorized and meditated scripture empowers believers to stand strong.

Personally, every breakthrough I’ve experienced—whether in my own challenges or in ministry to others—has come after the Word became more than words on a page. It became part of my thoughts, responses, prayer life, and even the way I perceive practical things like finances, relationships, and calling. It’s no exaggeration: this is the foundation for a supernatural spiritual life.

Call to Action: Deepen Your Spiritual Roots—Go Higher with Jesus!

Friend, as you reflect on these prophetic principles, let this be the push that takes you from spiritual surface-level living to supernatural depth. Don’t settle for “coffee table Christianity”—open the Bible, get the Word in your heart, meditate on it day and night, and abide in Jesus Himself. You’ll see God answer prayers, transform desires, and move in power in your everyday life.

If this post spoke to your heart, please share it with friends and family on social media, leave a comment below, and be a part of spreading the message of a real, spiritual relationship with Jesus. God bless you—dig deeper, go higher!

“But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” (Psalm 1:2, KJV)

Is There Really an Accurate Prophetic Voice?

Prophetic Voices: Truth or Hype

Welcome to another edition of Coffee with Conrad from ConradRocks.Net. I’m Conrad, sharing with you today a personal journey into the heart of spiritual hunger, prophetic truth, and the supernatural relationship we are called to cultivate with Jesus.

There's something stirring—an urgent call to reignite our spiritual flame for Jesus Christ. Too many are out of touch with the true presence of God. We know about Him, but are we engaging with Him? Are we developing a supernatural, living relationship with the biblical Jesus rather than succumbing to the noise around us?

This post was influenced by my friend, Lance Rowe. His bold witness for Jesus and challenging insights always prompt me to look deeper, to question what it means to walk in prophetic truth, and push past the lukewarm comfort zones holding many believers hostage.

Spiritual Hunger and Prophetic Voices

Recently, I’ve felt a burning passion for the “lukewarm”—for those who’ve lost the edge of their faith, who need a rekindling in their walk with Jesus. Are we spiritually hungry, or simply numb to the supernatural calling of Christ? Reflecting on Brother Yun’s story from Heavenly Man, I’m amazed at his hunger for God’s Word. In solitary confinement, he memorized entire chapters—sometimes whole books—of the Bible. Where is our hunger? Where is our spiritual fire?

Lance Rowe embodies what this means; he walks with a real cross, often with speakers built in, preaching the gospel wherever led by the Spirit. His online posts—or in documentaries such as Good People Go to Hell, Saved People Go to Heaven—demonstrate a brutal honesty about following Jesus and stir me to examine my own walk. When I see believers living out faith in radical, supernatural ways, it challenges me. That’s what true discipleship looks like.

But in today’s world, prophetic voices are everywhere. Are they really accurate? Or are too many simply profiting—P R O F I T—from sensationalism? Having watched Christian talk shows and read prophetic books, I’ve noticed a disturbing trend: prophecies about financial collapse, blood moons, and tribulation comfort packages. All supposedly based on Scripture, but rarely reliable, often instilling fear and selling survival gear for “suggested donations.”

False Prophets and the Supernatural Call

When big predictions fail, disclaimers abound—“I didn’t say it would happen, but maybe.” That way, they cover their tracks... but at the cost of Christian trust. False prophets, making a buck off the Bible, push cycles of fear rather than true prophetic insight. As Lance points out, Christians get so conditioned by these voices, waiting for the next dramatic prophecy, that we neglect simple obedience to Jesus.

Lance’s words ring true: "Christians are so caught up in what could be that they don’t have time to take care of the what is." If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land — 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV.

Why are we more obsessed with a prophet’s latest book than with the book God Himself wrote? Why pour our spiritual energy into untested words while neglecting timeless biblical truth?

Personal Reflections and Experiences

I’ve been convicted by all this. Am I living up to the supernatural calling of Jesus, or hiding my faith behind church walls and comfort? Do my actions proclaim Christ to my neighbors? For example, since moving into my neighborhood, I’ve tried reaching out—even praying for a lady with cancer. My initial attempts were rebuffed, but I know from experience Jesus heals. I’ve seen it. God is real and supernatural. But there’s a bitterness and distrust many people have against the Church, often fueled by Christian infighting and inconsistency. We need to show the world the real Jesus: full of love, mercy, and power.

Too often, Christians live one way on Sunday, and another throughout the week. The divorce rate, even the rates of abortion, match the world. So what makes our witness “supernatural”? It’s not the outward trappings or loud services—it’s authentic living, impacting our neighborhoods, loving our neighbors, and showing the power of God outside the church building.

Biblical References and Teachings

God’s Word cuts through confusion and fear. Mystery and fear mongering from false prophets isn’t what Jesus taught. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. — Matthew 6:34 KJV

Instead of worrying about tomorrow, we’re called—prophetically and supernaturally—to redeem the time. Today is the day of salvation. Today you can be a witness. Today you can experience the living Jesus. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost — Matthew 28:19 KJV

Revival doesn’t happen while we sit on the couch. The supernatural move of Jesus flows through obedience, in the highways and byways, through spiritual authority and love. We’re called to impact our region—not build our personal kingdoms but advance His.

A final warning from Lance’s post—and echoed in my heart—is that if the church continues to sit on its hands, disaster will come. Bless-me parties, fear-based purchases, and click-ish comfort aren't New Testament Christianity. Instead, it’s time for the prophetic, supernatural gospel: go out, preach, and prove the power of God to a lost and deceived world.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. — 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

Conclusion and Call to Action

Let’s not settle for lukewarm living. Let’s break the cycle of failed prophecies and consumer religion. Instead, let’s pursue radical, supernatural obedience to Jesus. Develop your spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus—not just the Jesus you hear about at church, but the real living Savior. Challenge yourself to step out, impact your community, and bring the prophetic gospel to your world.

I urge you: Follow Lance Rowe on Facebook for more challenging posts, and dig deeper into the Word daily. Let’s pursue revival not just in words but in action.
