Breaking the Veil: The Supernatural Revival in Iran and the Western Spiritual Lullaby

Image
Did you know that there is currently a massive, supernatural Christian revival happening in the Islamic Republic of Iran right now? We are going to be talking about that today. Welcome to yet another edition of Coffee with Conrad. This is Conrad from ConradRocks.net , where the rocks of revelation are being poured out to you. It is my absolute passion for you to have a vibrant, spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus. Before I did this podcast, I have to admit that I stumbled across a story that I completely wasn't expecting. When most of us in the West think of Iran, we pretty much think of what we see on television or read in the news. We see dark, angry visions of crowds chanting "Death to America," burning the American flag, calling our nation the "Great Satan," and shouting "Death to Israel". But brother, let me tell you—that is a smoke screen. That is not what is actually going on inside the country. The Hi...

Spiritual Warfare Preventive Maintenance

Image
When the enemy shows up in our life, it is time for us to do some preventive maintenence. Find the source, confess, repent, and take ground. Notes: The enemy gets mad when I talk about this; Demonic night terror has common symptoms; We are clean with the words Jesus spoke to us; Our feet get dirty when we walk in the world; We shall know ourselves by our fruit; We commune with ourselves in the quiet times; The light of God searches the inward parts Prov 20:27; Getting secular songs into our heads instead of worship songs; I had a demonic night dream - checking under the hood; Youtube TV trial had wicked commercials compared to yesteryear; From Howdy Doodie to Desperate Housewives to gay Jesus; From 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God' to the songs we have today Jesus says to do our first works - our first love, look how far we have fallen; Deut 7:26 don't take the curse into hour house lest we become le it; Act 19 burning the curious art...

The Spirit of Truth and Spiritual Mentors

Image
One of the ways God gets our attention is when the Spirit of Truth illuminates a passage as we read the Bible (John 16:13). We may have gone over the bible several times and still some doctrines in scripture can remain hidden because of our theological lenses or preconceived ideas. We develop these theological lenses or preconceived notions when we listen to preachers or get caught up with media much more than we read or listen to the bible. Our fountain of learning is not from the source, but is somewhat like third hand knowledge or stale manna. Doing this actually conditions us to ignore or become callous to the Spirit (2 Cor 4:2-6). The current monologue system does not allow for question and answers like Jesus had with His disciples. Learning in the monologue system is not nearly as effective as with a mentor or group setting like Jesus and the early disciples. 1 Corinthians 14 and Acts 13 are good passages to ponder about group gatherings as well as all the sessions when Jes...

Praying It Through: How to Finish the Conversation When God Speaks

Image
 Finish The Conversation with God How it Started I remember the texture of the carpet against my knees when I was a little boy. My dad, a good man who loved the Lord, taught me to pray beside my bed. It was the standard ritual: hands clasped, eyes closed, reciting the lists and the rhymes. "God bless mommy, God bless daddy..." But even as a child, something in my spirit felt restless. From the outside, it looked like I was doing the right thing. I was saying the words. But inside, I felt like I was just launching words at the ceiling. It felt one-sided. It felt like a monologue. One night, the dissatisfaction was too much. I slipped out of my room and into the backyard. The air was cool, and the night sky was vast, scattered with stars that seemed to hum with a silence I couldn't find indoors. I started walking. Pacing the grass. And there, under the open canopy of heaven, I stopped "saying prayers" and started talking to a Person. "Why do I have to jus...
