Are you on fire for God but worried about the subtle ways faith can erode? Join Conrad as he explores sobering historical and personal examples of apostasy and discover biblical safeguards to keep your spiritual relationship with Jesus strong and steadfast. Bullet Points (Key Takeaways):Understanding apostasy and recognizing its subtle beginnings. "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." (1 Corinthians 10:12 KJV)Historical examples of spiritual leaders who fell:Alexander Dowie: Healing ministry to self-proclamation as Elijah, a fall due to pride.William Branham: Powerful gifts of knowledge and healing, but strayed from his calling into controversial doctrine.Charles Templeton: Dynamic evangelist who became agnostic due to prioritizing intellectualism over a spiritual relationship with God.Personal examples of believers who strayed:"Sunshine": Mixed New Age teachings with Christianity, neglecting biblical grounding."Mandy": Faced intense family opposition for her prophetic ministry, leading to her disappearance from public life. "A man's foes shall be they of his own household." (Matthew 10:36 KJV)"Samantha": Came out of witchcraft with pure faith but lacked spiritual oversight, leading to doctrinal error."Jack": Shifted from synchronized spiritual revelation to monetizing insights and seeking followers. "For the love of money is the root of all evil." (1 Timothy 6:10 KJV)"Jimbo": Moved from impactful street evangelism to a corporate pastor role, ceasing public outreach. "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love." (Revelation 2:4 KJV)Key reasons for falling away: Pride, neglecting the Word of God, lack of accountability, shifting focus to self-promotion or financial gain, not staying in one's divine calling.How to safeguard against apostasy:Daily study and deep engagement with Scripture. "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)Cultivate humility and seek accountability within the body of Christ. "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18 KJV)Maintain spiritual vigilance and a consistent prayer life. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8 KJV)Hold fast to sound doctrine and test all spiritual experiences against the Bible. "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee." (1 Timothy 4:16 KJV)The importance of a spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus, grounded in both Spirit and Word.**Connect With Me:**- Blog: conradrocks.net https://www.conradrocks.net/- Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | TikTok https://www.facebook.com/conrad.carriker https://www.instagram.com/conradcarriker https://twitter.com/MostRadicalMan https://www.tiktok.com/@supernaturalchristianity**Free Resources:**- Try Audible Free Trial https://amzn.to/2MT9aQW- Get Readwise Free Trial https://readwise.io/i/conrad8- Start Amazon Prime Free Trial https://amzn.to/2Jtymte**My Work:**- Books: Open Your Eyes | Night Terror https://amzn.to/3RJx7by https://amzn.to/3XRFohl- Shop: Team Jesus T-Shirts https://teespring.com/stores/team-jesus-4- Support: PayPal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ConradRocks- For Creators: Get $10 off StreamYard https://streamyard.com/pal/d/5663052624035840

What Did Jesus Really Mean by "Make Disciples"? Contrasting 1st Century vs. Modern DiscipleshipKey Points:In 1st century Israel, discipleship under a rabbi was a significant multi-year commitment involving close daily relational living and imitation of the rabbi. The goal was to become like the rabbi in character, behavior and lifestyle.Jesus' call to "make disciples" meant perpetuating this intense rabbi-disciple relationship model, with disciples becoming teachers themselves. It involved deep sacrifice, leaving everything to follow the rabbi.In contrast, modern western discipleship often:Emphasizes comfort and personal fulfillment over sacrificeUses classroom-style teaching vs. relational immersionMakes disciple-making a side ministry vs. the core missionSees persecution as failure vs. a privilege of sharing in Christ's sufferingsFocuses on information transfer vs. transformational lifestyleTo align with Jesus' intent, the modern church needs to recapture the early church's model of sacrificial, relational, every-believer disciple-making as the driving mission, even if it means embracing discomfort and suffering for Christ. The goal is Christlike transformation, not just knowledge transfer.Links:Book: "Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus" YouTube: "Rabbis and Disciples" from Walking the Text channel Social Media:https://www.facebook.com/conrad.carrikerhttps://www.instagram.com/conradcarrikerhttps://twitter.com/MostRadicalManhttps://www.tiktok.com/@supernaturalchristianityFreebies for Listeners!AUDIBLE FREE TRIAL https://amzn.to/2MT9aQWReadwise free trial https://readwise.io/i/conrad8My Books:https://bit.ly/OpenYourEyesBookhttp://bit.ly/NightTerrorEbookT-Shirts https://teespring.com/stores/team-jesus-4PayPal:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ConradRocks

Tune in now to find out more!Show Topics:Christians Need to Know the DifferencePrincipalities and Power HierarchyDemons and Principalities DistinctionTypes of DemonsHierarchy of Spiritual Entities in WarfareThe Nephilim-Demon Origin BeliefPrincipalities have a Large Sphere of InfluencePrincipalities: Spiritual Powers Behind RulersPrincipalities in Spiritual Warfare: Caution Needed Digging DeeperIf you're interested in delving further into the topic of spiritual warfare and the distinctions between demons, principalities, and powers, I would highly recommend the book "Needless Casualties of War" by John Paul Jackson. This book provides valuable insight and guidance on the topic and is worth reading if you're considering taking on a principality or spiritual force without first seeking guidance from God. It's important to remember that principalities and powers are spiritual beings or entities that have been established by God and it is essential to have a humble, unselfish relationship with the Holy Spirit in order to be certain that we are being led by God when engaging in spiritual warfare. Additionally, I would recommend joining the conversation by checking out the linked Facebook post in the show notes for more perspectives and thoughts on the topic.Link:Needless Casualties of War Facebook Discussion

How I stumbled Across Groaning in Prayer When I first got saved, I discovered that I would groan in deep prayer or when I was in a deeply spiritual setting. I started to dig into the bible to see if it was biblical. It took me quite some time to even notice that I was groaning in prayer. It would happen when I waded deep into the spirit or when I was with a group of people and the prayer got really deep. So deep that you could sense the manifest presence of God in the room. Prayer & Groaning Prayer is a familiar concept to many of us. Whether we're alone or in a group, it can be used for devotion and as a way to commune with God. But what about groaning? Can this also be part of our prayer life? I believe the answer is yes! Groaning – both in the spiritual sense and in the physical act of uttering sounds – has been used throughout history as an expression of prayer. I m sure you've seen pictures of people on their knees or laying prostrate before an image of Jesus. In the background you see them groaning and sobbing, often while clutching their hands in prayer position. Similarly, Paul says that he “groans within himself” (Romans 8:26) while praying. In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words.(Rom 8:26 AMP) What Does the Bible Say? When it comes to the question of groaning prayer, what does the Bible say? Groaning is an emotional expression often used in pleas for help or comfort, but is it an appropriate way to express a prayer to God? Let's take a closer look at what Scripture has to say about this form of communication with the Creator. Various passages throughout Scripture make reference to groaning prayers as a valid method of communicating with God. In Romans 8:26-27, Paul writes that "the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. God intercedes for the saints according to his own will." Here we see that God responds to our prayers based on His own will, and that the Spirit helps us communicate with Him in a way that is beyond our natural ability. Examples of Groaning Prayer in Scripture Groaning prayer, or expressing one's prayers to God in the form of a deep groan or sigh, is a practice that has long been used by believers. It can be found throughout scripture as an expression of hardship and suffering. The Bible contains many examples of groaning prayer that are worth exploring. One example of groaning prayer comes from Paul's letter to the Romans 8:23-24 which states “And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons”. Here Paul expresses his longing for redemption and forgiveness through this type of prayer. One example of groaning prayer in Scripture is the aforementioned Romans 8:26-27 when the Apostle Paul says “we do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” (NIV) Here, we see an example of how believers can cry out to God without necessarily using words to express their needs and desires. Additionally, Psalm 5:1-3 describes a situation where David cries out to God with intense emotion and anguish by using loud cries and tears as part of his form of communication with Him. A Psalm of David. Listen to my words, O LORD, Consider my groaning and sighing. Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray. In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will prepare [a prayer and a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].(Psa 5:1-3 AMP+) I believe Jesus groaned within Himself in Gethsemane (see Matt. 26:37,38; Mark 14:33-35). We may not know what Jesus groaned about, but the idea is that He was so burdened by His coming ordeal that He had to sigh deeply within Himself in order to pray. Groaning seems appropriate when we cannot find the words, but the spirit knows. Scripture isn't explicit, but it seems like this Scripture is in agreement with others elsewhere. Jesus groaned in the spirit and was troubled when He saw Mary weeping at the tomb of Lazarus (see John 11:33). In this case, groaning was a sign of empathy and sorrow. Challenges to Groaning Prayer Though it may be seen as a form of spiritual expression, groaning prayer has its challenges. Those who practice groaning prayer must be able to discern the difference between true spiritual expressions and something that isn't from God. Additionally, it can also be difficult for some people to know when or how to begin groaning in prayer, as such an activity requires one to have an intimate knowledge of scripture and the nature of God. My personal experience is when I am deeply lost in prayer, groaning just seems to happen. It is not something that I initiated, but the Spirit gave utterance. Groaning in the spirit during prayer is biblical Groaning in the spirit during prayer is absolutely biblical and has been documented throughout Christian history. It's a powerful tool that allows Christians to express their faith and draw closer to God. Many Bible verses reference groaning in prayer, from Paul's description of the Spirit interceding with us when we are unable to find words (Romans 8:26) to Jesus' heartbreaking cries for His Father's will be done (Matthew 26:39). The idea of groaning prayer can be traced back as far as the Old Testament book of Psalms, where David pleads with God using passionate cries and supplications. We also see examples in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Job—all of whom use language reflective of deep feeling within their prayers which would be another way of saying 'groaning'. In Conclusion I didn't set out to groan in prayer. It is something that happened when I got lost deep in prayer. The bible examples seem to tie groaning to desperation. Verses to Pray About Here are some verses to ponder on about groaning in prayer. Pray about these and let me know what revelation you get! Exo 2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. Exo 6:5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. Psa 6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. Joh 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, Joh 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 2Co 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven 2Co 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
