Conrad Rocks | Spiritual Warfare, Supernatural Faith & Kingdom Living

  Have you ever looked at your own walk with Jesus and wondered if you’ve finally gone too far? Maybe you made a promise to God in a moment of spiritual high, only to completely fall on your face hours later. You feel the crushing weight of shame, and a whisper starts echoing in your mind: “You’re disqualified. You’re done. A real Christian would never do what you just did.” I’m Conrad from ConradRocks.Net , and today I want to talk about one of the most painful, beautiful, and absolutely essential stories in the entire Bible. It’s the story of a complete spiritual trainwreck. But it’s also the ultimate map of restoration. I’m talking about the Apostle Peter. If you think about it, out of all the people in the Bible, Peter is the last person you would expect to deny Jesus. He was in the inner circle. He saw the Transfiguration. He walked on water. Yet, when the pressure was on, he didn't just stumble—he denied Christ three times, even swearing with curses that he didn't kn...

Busy Is Not the Same as Fruitful Have you ever kept every plate in your life going at once while none of them actually mattered? I did that for years, and I called it ministry. I want to walk you through the day I finally got quiet with God and He showed me why frantic and faithful are not the same thing. There is a simple illustration that will absolutely wreck your calendar if you let it. It is the big rocks theory. Picture a jar that represents your time. You put the big rocks in first, then the smaller rocks, then the pebbles, then the sand. But if you fill that jar with sand and pebbles first, the big rocks will never fit. You can shake it, press on it, cram and squeeze all you want, but those big rocks are staying on the counter. My Confession: A Life of Keeping Things Spinning I have to tell on myself. When I was in elementary school, a magician came to an assembly with a stack of plates and a handful of skinny sticks. He got one plate spinning, then another, then a third, until...

  Introduction: The Doctrine the Pulpit Forgot What if the most loving thing your Father in Heaven ever does for you is the one truth almost no preacher will say out loud on a Sunday morning? I'm Conrad from ConradRocks.Net , and I want to walk through something with you that most modern Christians have never been taught — something that runs against a lot of what's being preached from the pulpit today. It's the reality of the chastening of the Lord. Divine discipline. The loving correction of a Father who refuses to let His children wander off a cliff while smiling and waving. Here's why this matters so much for your spiritual life and your walk with Jesus: if you don't understand chastening, you will misread the hardest seasons of your life. You'll either blame the devil for something God is doing, or blame God for something you opened the door to. Either way, you stay stuck. So let's get some knowledge — because "my people are destroyed for lack ...

I recently had a dream that I believe was definitely demonic. It was one of those dreams that carried more weight than a normal dream. It did not feel random. It felt like a warning. In the dream, I was actually asleep inside the dream. Then I woke up and saw someone there. It was not someone I knew personally, but I recognized the demonic entity behind them. The person was not the real issue. The spirit behind them was. And what stood out to me was this: they were not going to do anything to me while I was asleep. That may sound strange at first, but in the dream I understood that this represented a lower-level demonic spirit. It was watching. It was near. It had access to the area. But it was not taking full action yet. Then I heard them call on a higher-level demon to come and “do something about it.” That shook me. When I woke up, I began thinking about what the Lord may have been showing me. I do not claim to know everything about spiritual warfare. I am not Paul the Apostle....

The wind is whipping off the lake in Mississippi, and even though it is September (when I originally podcasted this in 2015), there is a distinct chill in the air that tells me autumn is clawing its way into the deep South. I am standing here, completely alone, in a little sanctuary I found where the only other living souls are the fish occasionally breaking the surface of the water with a silver flash. I love places like this. If there were people here, I probably wouldn’t be. I am here to storm heaven. I am here because I have been far too busy lately with "Martha stuff"—those endless personal tasks and logistical hurdles that demand our attention and try to choke out our spiritual life. Have you ever felt like you were running on empty? You are doing all the "Christian things," you are checking the boxes, but the anointing feels distant, and your prayers feel like they are bouncing off a brass ceiling. This is the pain of living in the soul and the flesh rather ...

I remember a time, back in the early 2000s, when the supernatural was as real to me as ever. was walking in the prophetic, seeing words of knowledge manifest like I was watching television in the spirit. It was undeniable, exciting, and—honestly—a little overwhelming. But then, the silence came. Have you ever been there? One day you’re amazingly walking in the prophetic, and the next, it feels like you’re shouting into a void. It’s like the story of Abraham; God speaks to him, and then there’s a thirteen-year gap where the heavens seem closed.  During one of those dry spells, I found myself sitting at my desk, staring at my Bible, and asking, "Lord, what changed?" I realized I had started treating prayer like a mechanical habit. I’d enter the gates with a "Lord, I thank you for relationship," but it was a knee-jerk reaction, not a heart-felt connection. I had to stop and ask myself: Is this how I talk to my wife? Is this how I would talk to my parents?   The Lord is...
