Demonic Levitation: Let's talk BIBLE! (and some history)

Image
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...

Overcoming Spiritual Warfare: My Journey of Faith and Resilience

Image
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...

Beyond the Church Walls: Rediscovering the True Purpose of Preaching

Image
Challenging Traditional Views on Preaching: A Biblical Perspective Today, I want to challenge our traditional thinking about preaching. It's a topic close to my heart, and I believe it's time we take a fresh look at what the Bible really says about this crucial aspect of our faith. Introduction Have you ever wondered if there's more to preaching than what we commonly see in our churches? I certainly have. The idea I want to explore with you today is this: preaching is primarily for unbelievers, not just for delivering a monologue to the same congregation repeatedly for decades. I know this might sound radical to some, but bear with me. In this blog post, I aim to dive into the biblical foundation for preaching to unbelievers and challenge the conventional notion of preaching as a weekly monologue to the same audience. Let's embark on this journey together, with open minds and hearts ready to be shaped by God's Word. The Traditional View of Preaching Before we delve ...

From Novice to Master: Cultivating Your Calling in Christ

Image
The Importance of Deliberate Practice The Apostle Paul, in his letter to Timothy, emphasizes the importance of diligence and practice in our spiritual lives: " Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth ." (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV) This verse underscores the need for deliberate effort in our spiritual growth. It's not enough to merely read the Bible; we must study it, meditate upon it, and apply its teachings to our lives. This requires intentional practice and a willingness to stretch ourselves beyond our comfort zones. Consider the analogy of learning to drive a car. One doesn't become a proficient driver by simply reading the manual or watching others drive. It requires hands-on experience, practice, and a willingness to face challenging situations on the road. Similarly, our spiritual growth demands active participation and consistent effort. The Journey from Novice to Master Let's explore ...

From Witchcraft to Worship: Alexandria Butler's Radical Transformation

Image
The Transformative Power of the Holy Spirit Today on Coffee with Conrad, I had the incredible privilege of interviewing Alexandria Butler, a woman with a powerful testimony of God's redemptive love and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Alexandria's story is one that will inspire and encourage you, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey. Growing up surrounded by the darkness of witchcraft and bitterness, Alexandria seemed destined for a life of pain and negativity. But God had other plans. Through a divine encounter on Interstate 35, Jesus met Alexandria in her brokenness and radically changed the trajectory of her life.  Here is the Audio Podcast Version of our interview: As Alexandria shared her story with me, I was struck by the parallels in our own testimonies. Like Alexandria, I too struggled with demonic torment as a child. But also like her, I had grandparents and relatives who sowed seeds of faith into my life from a young age. Those seeds, planted ...

From Brokenness to Impact: Richard's Story

 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...

The Eccentricity of Prophecy: Embracing the "Cooky Prophetic"

Image
Being 'Cooky' Prophetic is Odd!  Being "cooky prophetic" is a term that may seem odd to many, but it holds a profound meaning. It refers to the eccentric, unconventional, and often bewildering behavior exhibited by prophets. This behavior, while seemingly bizarre, often carries a divine message or prophecy.  Biblical Examples of "Cooky Prophetic" Behavior The Bible is replete with instances of prophets behaving in ways that would be considered "cooky" by modern standards. Yet, these actions were often divinely inspired and served a greater purpose. Isaiah's Nakedness Take Isaiah, for instance. In Isaiah 20:2-3 (KJV), it is written, "At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egyp...
