What Was Adam Thinking? Guarding Your Heart in a World of Compromise

When Love Compromises Truth 

Are you a believer trying to honor God in every part of your life, yet you find yourself pulled in different directions? You want to love your family well, but you also feel the constant pressure of the world trying to water down your faith. It can feel like a daily battle to keep your spiritual priorities straight, leaving you wondering if you're making the right choices for your household and your own soul. This isn't a new struggle; it's a conflict that began in the Garden of Eden. By looking at Adam's monumental choice, we can uncover timeless truths about discernment, spiritual authority, and what it truly means to love our families as Christ loves the church.

Introduction

Welcome, this is Conrad from ConradRocks.Net, where we're always pursuing the rocks of Revelation being poured out. My focus, as you may know, is on cultivating a genuine spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus. It's not about religion; it's about a living, breathing connection with the King. This perspective changes how we see everything, from our daily interactions on social media to the deepest dynamics within our own homes.

Today, we're diving deep into a question that has echoed through millennia: What on Earth was Adam thinking? We'll start there and connect it all the way to the New Testament command for husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church. It's a journey, but one that is essential for every believer who wants to lead their family in godly wisdom and avoid the subtle deceptions that are more prevalent today than ever before.

The Original Compromise: What Really Happened in the Garden

Let's think about Adam's situation. He had a direct, personal relationship with God. He walked with Him, heard His voice, and knew His will. God's instruction was incredibly simple and clear: do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Then the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

(Genesis 2:16-17 KJV)

There it is. One rule. The consequence was not ambiguous; it was death. Yet, Adam disobeyed. When God confronted him, his first reaction wasn't repentance; it was blame. "And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat." (Genesis 3:12 KJV). He pointed the finger at Eve, and by extension, at God Himself for giving her to him.

This moment reveals a profound shift in priorities. Let's explore a couple of possibilities for what was going through Adam's mind, because these same pressures exist for us today.

Scenario 1: Peace at Any Price

Could it be that Adam chose to eat the fruit simply to keep the peace in his household? We all know the old saying, "happy wife, happy life." Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived (besides Jesus), wrote extensively about the desire for a peaceful home.

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

(Proverbs 21:9 KJV)

Men, in particular, often crave peace and quiet. It's possible Adam saw his wife, who had already eaten the fruit, and decided it was easier to go along with her than to stand on God's command and face the resulting conflict. He may have "washed the gospel down," compromising a clear, concise commandment from the Lord to keep his wife happy.

This is a temptation we all face: the temptation to soften God's truth to avoid an argument, to maintain a false sense of harmony, or to please someone we love. But peace that is purchased at the expense of obedience to God is not true peace at all. It is a temporary truce with a devastating eternal cost.

Scenario 2: The Power of Influence and Familiarity

Now, let's consider another angle. Adam and Eve were all each other had. They spent all their time together, building a deep rapport and familiarity. In this close relationship, whose voice became louder?

Perhaps, over time, Adam began to believe what Eve was saying more than what God had already said. The constant presence and persuasion of his wife may have started to erode the authority of God's initial command. The devil is crafty. He sowed a seed of doubt not directly to Adam, but through the person closest to him. The enemy knew that Eve had the key to Adam.

This is a critical warning for us. Who do you spend the most time with? Whose voice has the most influence in your life? Is it your spouse, your friends, the news anchors on TV, or the influencers on social media? If we spend more time consuming worldly media than we do in the Word of God and in prayer, we will inevitably start to believe the world's narrative. The simple, powerful truths of Scripture will begin to seem complicated, outdated, or just plain wrong.

Satan's Hashtags and Modern Deception

The devil's tactic in the Garden was to introduce a question: "Yea, hath God said...?" (Genesis 3:1 KJV). He twisted God's word and sowed a seed of unbelief. Today, he uses the same strategy, but on a massive, global scale through media.

Think of the trending topics and hashtags that dominate social media. They are often "Satan's hashtags," designed to distract, divide, and deceive the body of Christ. #BeLikeGod or #YourEyesWillBeOpened could have been the hashtags trending in Eden. Today, we see narratives around redefining marriage, questioning biblical authority, and promoting a gospel of self-love over submission to Christ. People hear these things, repeat them, and begin to believe them, often without ever checking them against the authority of Scripture.

The enemy knows that if he can't get to you directly, he will get to the people who can get to you. He will use the voices you trust—be it a news personality, a celebrity, or even a family member—to whisper his lies. Our only defense is to be so grounded in our spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus that we can discern the devil's voice, no matter whose mouth it's coming from.

Husbands, Love Your Wives as Christ Loved the Church

This brings us to the ultimate solution and the divine model for marriage found in the New Testament.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

(Ephesians 5:25-27 KJV)

How did Christ love the church? He gave Himself up for her. But He didn't just die for her; He lived to lead, teach, correct, and purify her with the water of the word. A husband's primary responsibility is the spiritual leadership of his household. Adam failed in this. He didn't "wash Eve with the water of the word." He didn't reinforce God's command and protect her from the serpent's deception. He wasn't the priestly leader who declared, "as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15 KJV).

Loving your wife like Christ doesn't mean compromising with sin to make her happy. It means loving her enough to lead her in holiness. It means spending time in the Word together, praying together, and holding each other accountable to God's standard. It means being so filled with the Spirit of God that when a worldly idea enters your home, you can gently but firmly say, "That's not what God's Word says." Jesus was quick to correct His disciples, even Peter, saying, "Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of man." (Matthew 16:23 KJV). He prioritized the things of God over the feelings of man.

It's About Relationship, Not Information

In the end, this isn't just about knowing the information—don't talk to snakes, don't eat the apple. It's about the relationship. The closer our relationship is with God, the more we will naturally desire to obey Him. It's not about a list of rules; it's about loving our Father and not wanting to displease Him. A deep, abiding, supernatural relationship with Jesus is what gives us the discernment to recognize deception and the strength to stand for truth.

This is the call for every believer, but especially for husbands and fathers. We must lead our families by prioritizing our own relationship with God first. Only then can we effectively lead our wives and children in the fear, love, and admonition of the Lord, creating a household that serves as a beacon of light in a dark world.

Action Items

Here are a few practical steps you can take this week to apply these truths:

1. Audit Your Influences: For one week, consciously track the voices you listen to most. How many hours are spent on TV, social media, or podcasts versus time spent in the Bible and prayer? Make a deliberate choice to shift that balance, even if it's just by 15 minutes a day.
2. Establish a "Word-Washing" Routine: Husbands, schedule a specific, non-negotiable time this week to read a passage of Scripture and pray with your wife. It doesn't have to be long or elaborate. Start with a Proverb or a short Psalm. The goal is to establish the habit of coming under the authority of God's Word together.
3. Practice Discerning Conversations: The next time you hear a popular opinion on the news or social media, pause and ask yourself: "What does the Bible say about this?" Practice filtering everything you hear through the grid of Scripture before you form an opinion or repeat it.
4. Memorize a "Savoring God" Verse: Commit Matthew 16:23 or Colossians 3:2 to memory. "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." When you feel pulled by worldly desires or the opinions of others, repeat this verse to re-center your heart on what truly matters.
5. Initiate a Family Check-In: Ask your spouse and children (if old enough), "What are some things we're believing or doing as a family that might not line up with God's Word?" Frame it as a team effort to draw closer to God, not as an accusation.

Unlocking Spiritual Revelation: Journeying Deeper with Jesus, the Prophetic, and the Supernatural

 Why You Need More Than Head Knowledge—The Real Struggle for Spiritual Revelation

Are you hungry for more than just Bible facts? Maybe you’ve found yourself stuck—caught between wanting a deeper spiritual relationship with Jesus and the daily grind that drags you back down. Here’s the problem: too many believers settle for secondhand revelation—relying on someone else’s podcast, book, or Sunday sermon—yet still feel dry, disconnected, or spiritually flat. It’s frustrating! But here’s good news: in this post, I’ll show you how real spiritual revelation through the Holy Spirit transforms your life. I’ll share not only what Scripture says, but how I’ve learned (often the hard way) to hear from God, walk in the prophetic, and experience the supernatural for yourself. Ready to shift from head knowledge to heart transformation? Let’s dig in.

Pursuing the Spiritual, the Prophetic, and the Supernatural with Jesus

When it comes to faith, I’m all in on relationship—spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus. This isn’t theory. The closer you get to God, the more you realize your flesh resists, but your spirit burns for more. As you press in, there’s a snowball effect. Seeking God causes you to want Him even more, but the old nature fights back.

Let’s be honest: our flesh doesn’t want to climb the hill of the Lord. It resists the upward call (“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?”). Picture riding a bike uphill—your muscles protest, but your spirit keeps pedaling anyway. That’s why Jesus said, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him” (John 6:44 KJV).

There’s a spiritual magnetism—a drawing—that pulls us toward Jesus. Like a moth to a flame, we move closer even as our old life is crucified (“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me”, Galatians 2:20 KJV). The beautiful paradox is this: the more you pursue Jesus, the less the world pulls on you, and sanctification naturally follows. You don’t clean up to get to Jesus; you go to Him as you are, trusting He’ll work out the mess along the way.

Think of Jesus as a compass heading, not a one-time destination. Even Paul admitted he hadn’t “arrived”—his only focus was pressing on toward the upward call of God, forgetting what’s behind and reaching toward what’s ahead (Philippians 3:13-14, KJV). Our past, both good and bad, tries to claim us, but Jesus calls us higher.

He said, “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62 KJV). So as we work the field for the kingdom, the deeper call is relational: sitting at Jesus’ feet, learning and listening, not just frantically "doing." Yet, there’s balance—Mary and Martha both had their place!

Key Scripture: The Spirit Is Our Ultimate Guide to All Truth

Let’s zero in on John 16:12–15, which changed how I relate to God:

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (John 16:12–15 KJV)

This promise ignites hope. The Holy Spirit is given specifically to lead us—personally—into all truth. Not “some” truth, not only what a preacher says, but all truth, tailored for where you are. Revelation is not reserved for the gifted few—if you have the Spirit, you have access!

But here’s a warning. If you only live off of someone else’s revelation—podcasts, books, sermons—you may have borrowed fire but not your own flame. Jesus Himself insisted, “Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock” (Matthew 7:24 KJV). Your foundation must be firsthand: study, seek, listen, and obey what He says to you directly.

Secondhand faith builds a precarious house of cards. If you want a house that stands when the storms hit, dig down and get your own “rock” of revelation from Jesus Himself.

Deeper Truths About Spiritual Revelation

1. Revelation is Progressive—and Personal

Jesus said He had more to reveal, but His disciples “could not bear them now.” There’s a progression in how we receive spiritual revelation. Just as children graduate from milk to meat, our maturity level determines what we can handle. Paul said,

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. (1 Corinthians 3:1-2 KJV)

Too often in the church, we’re content with milk—surface-level teaching. But God wants us to learn how to chew on the meat, to grasp deeper spiritual truths, and eventually to “hunt” for revelation ourselves through a vibrant relationship with the Holy Spirit.

2. The Holy Spirit Is the Source and Conduit of Revelation

Spiritual truth doesn’t come by head knowledge alone. The carnal mind can’t grasp what the Spirit is revealing. Proverbs 25:2 (KJV) says, “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” God hides treasures in His word; the Holy Spirit unlocks them as we seek Him diligently.

Sometimes as I meditate on Scripture—again and again, looping verses while I do chores—there’s this sudden “aha!” moment. After the hundredth time, the Holy Spirit strikes a tuning fork in my spirit and connects dots in a tapestry I could never have weaved alone. These revelations are spiritual, vital, and life-changing.

The Spirit guides us by bringing Scripture and experiences into alignment in real time, reminding us of what Jesus said (“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you”, John 14:26 KJV).

3. True Revelation Builds the House—Secondhand Faith Cannot Stand

Don’t rely on someone else’s experience as your foundation. Paul himself had an encounter that reoriented all his previous theology. All the arguments and traditions he’d been taught were trumped by a real encounter with the risen Jesus (Acts 9).

After his Damascus Road experience, Paul went away to the Arabian desert—not to consult men, but to hear directly from God:

But when it pleased God... to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood... (Galatians 1:15-16 KJV)

That’s the difference between borrowed theology and direct revelation. Mentors are invaluable, but there is no substitute for learning from the Spirit Himself.

Jesus said, “And they shall be all taught of God.” (John 6:45 KJV)

4. Revelation Catalyzes Real Change

This is practical, not theoretical. When the Holy Spirit reveals truth, it isn’t for our entertainment or spiritual pride. The Word goes from head to heart. Suddenly, things that used to attract us—worldly music, bitterness, old habits—lose their appeal. Transformation is inside-out.

When the Spirit revealed the true purpose of music for me, I instantly lost my taste for secular songs. It wasn’t a struggle; it just happened as a byproduct of deeper revelation.

Psalm 37:4 promises, “Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” The more we delight in God, the more our desires align with His.

5. By the Spirit, We Compare Spiritual Things with Spiritual

Revelation works through “spiritual triangulation”—the Holy Spirit weaving together Scripture, past lessons, and personal experiences. God brings related verses and memories to the forefront, constructing a doctrine in your heart built on Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:10 KJV)

This is how you start to "compare spiritual things with spiritual"—learning not from the wisdom of men, but as the Holy Ghost teaches (1 Corinthians 2:13 KJV).

Personal Reflections and Experiences

Let me level with you. Most of my spiritual growth hasn’t come from mountaintop conferences or viral teachings—it comes from day-to-day life with Jesus. I loop scripture audio while hiking, praying in the spirit on my drive, and journal what I feel the Lord saying. It’s in those unscripted moments the Spirit connects the dots, revealing layers of truth I would’ve missed otherwise.

There are experiences where my carnal mind couldn’t keep up with what God was dropping in my spirit. Like the time I suddenly blurted out, “Entertainment gets your head chopped off”—I didn’t understand until the Holy Spirit triangulated that strange phrase with the story of John the Baptist. Suddenly, God’s purpose for music (worship, not entertainment) was revealed with clarity. That wasn’t head knowledge; it was a pivot for my life.

If you’ll join me in seeking God—not as merely information, but as transformation—you’ll see similar breakthroughs. As Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” He rewards those who chase after Him!

If the Lord can teach and transform a stubborn, flesh-driven guy like me, He can and will do it for you. Your path might look different, but the Spirit is eager to draw you deeper.

The Supernatural Power of Jesus to Break Addiction: My Interview with Pastor Howard Jackson

Why Real Deliverance Matters in Today’s Spiritual Battle

Are you stuck in a spiritual rut—struggling with an addiction, obsession, or stronghold, and wondering if real freedom is possible? You’re not alone. Most believers yearn for victory over these chains, yet so many of us have prayed, tried, and failed—again and again. It’s easy to feel hopeless, guilty, or convinced that supernatural breakthrough is for “other people.”

Today’s post is for anyone in that place. I’m sharing an in-depth interview with Pastor Howard Jackson of Our Fellowship Christian Church in Houston, Texas—a man whose prophetic, supernatural walk with Jesus has inspired my own journey for more than a decade. If you’re desperate for freedom and ready to see biblical deliverance as real and attainable, keep reading. We’re going deep into the process, the battles, the breakthroughs, and the spiritual truths that can set you free.

We’ll confront the problem, agitate what keeps us stuck, and offer practical, spiritual solutions—rooted in Scripture, personal testimony, and the living power of Jesus Christ. This post isn’t a summary; it’s a roadmap to victory.

Breaking Addiction Through the Supernatural, Prophetic Power of Jesus

Meet Pastor Howard Jackson: A Supernatural, Prophetic Lifestyle

I’ve known Pastor Howard Jackson for well over a decade. He’s one of those rare shepherds who’ll lay his life down for the sheep—whether at home, in the church, or out in the city. Miracles, testimonies, and spiritual breakthroughs have become normal in his life. When I think of someone living out the victorious, supernatural Christian walk where the prophetic isn’t theory but experience, Howard is top of my list.

Why interview Howard? A recent Facebook post on deliverance led to a ripple of comments about smoking, obsession, and compulsion—challenges many believers face but few talk openly about. Howard’s own story of being set free from smoking is jaw-dropping in its honesty and depth, and it’s packed with spiritual keys for victory.

The Process of Deliverance: Progression, Not Just a Miracle

Howard’s deliverance didn’t happen overnight. Some chains snapped instantly—God broke alcohol addiction and other strongholds in his first month as a believer. But smoking held on for eight years. Eight years of wrestling, praying, and searching for why he couldn’t let go.

Here’s the supernatural, prophetic key: Smoking wasn’t the root problem—rebellion was. The Lord spoke to Howard, “Smoking is not your issue. Your issue is rebellion.”

That’s a spiritual revelation many miss. We treat the symptom, but God wants to dig out the root. Howard agreed to let God uproot rebellion, and over two hard years—emotional rollercoasters, days of anger or confusion—the process unfolded. One morning, the heaviness lifted; he woke up simply knowing he was different.

The Moment of Surrender: Giving the Battle to the Lord

Howard realized the urge to smoke was bigger than him. He wanted to see his kids grow up, but he couldn’t quit in his own power. One day, alone at home, he placed the cigarettes on the coffee table and surrendered: “Lord, I can’t do this. If you don’t do something in the next hour, I’m going to smoke again.”

An hour passed. The urge came—the usual post-lunch craving. Howard said the name of Jesus, and instantly, the urge left. Whenever temptation returned, he spoke the name of Jesus, and the desire vanished. For three days he repeated the process, and the battle ended.

After those three days, Howard experienced a supernatural encounter—he literally heard noises in the car, a manifestation of angels fighting for him. The Lord confirmed, “Today you have become more than a conqueror because you allowed the battle to belong to the Lord.”

Since September 20, 1995, he has never smoked again. Not a puff, not a craving. The desire itself was gone—true freedom, not just abstinence. You can quit smoking while still wanting to smoke, but when Jesus sets you free, you lose the desire itself.

Personal Reflections: The Ongoing Battle, Faith, and Ministering to Others

Freedom Is Not Always Instant—It’s a Journey

So many believers feel condemned because their deliverance isn’t “instant” like others’ testimonies. Howard’s breakthrough took years and wasn’t simply about smoking; it was about spiritual rebellion. Sometimes, God will tell us we’re free even before the chains fall off—because the battle is first spiritual, then practical.

During this process, Howard’s marriage was under strain—his wife was frustrated with his smoking. One day, God spoke to her: “Leave him alone. I’m dealing with this.” She stopped pressuring, and the unity at home became part of the solution.

This principle of dealing with “the strong man” is biblical. The addiction (smoking) was attached to rebellion, and without confronting the spiritual root, real freedom couldn’t come.

Praying for Others—even While You’re Struggling

Howard continued praying for others while still fighting his own battle. One night, as he prayed for a man to be set free from smoking, the enemy whispered accusations—“You’re a hypocrite. You can’t quit, yet you’re praying for someone else.” But Howard pressed in, faithfully releasing the man in Jesus’ name. That man came back weeks later, completely delivered.

Deliverance truly comes by faith—not by works, not by perfection. The battle is spiritual; the enemy tries to keep us chained by lies and condemnation. But Jesus breaks the power of addiction and the desire behind it.

Conclusion and Call to Action: Step Into Your Own Supernatural Victory

Friend, the supernatural, prophetic power of Jesus is available to anyone willing to surrender. Addiction isn’t just a fleshly problem; it’s a spiritual battle. Whether you struggle with smoking, alcohol, anger, or anything else—Jesus is able to do what we cannot. The real question is: are you willing to let the Lord dig out the root, not just the symptom?

Howard’s testimony models a process: honest struggle, spiritual revelation, surrender, persistence, supernatural intervention, and lasting freedom. If you’re fighting a battle today, take encouragement. The journey may be hard, but the victory is promised.
