KIB podcasts to empower the Remnant
This episode examines the difference between the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the promise of the Spirit in Ezekiel 36 and Jeremiah 31, and how God writes His law upon the heart of the believer through a covenant relationship. Dr. Lake also addresses the dangers of counterfeit spirits, misplaced charismatic emphasis, and the spiritual deception that has infiltrated much of the modern Church.
In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake shift from their planned teaching to focus on the urgent spiritual realities of this Passover season. As global tensions rise and uncertainty increases, they call the remnant to center their faith on the power of the blood of Jesus, the meaning of Passover, and the believer’s need to remain aligned with God’s covenant in the days ahead.
In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore one of the most neglected truths in modern Christianity: circumcision of the heart and the true reality of the New Covenant.
Mary Lou opens with encouragement for the remnant, updates on weather-related prayer needs in Arizona and New Mexico, and a reminder that God often gives watchmen warnings so the Body of Christ can pray and stop what the enemy intends. She also highlights the importance of remembering the Lord’s deliverance through the Passover and the protective power of the blood of Jesus.
Dr. Lake then continues his important series, “What’s So New About the New Covenant?” by diving deep into the biblical meaning of heart circumcision. He explains the difference between the relational, functional, and positional dimensions of covenant life, and shows how the Torah written on the heart is not a discarded Old Testament idea but a fulfilled New Covenant reality in Christ.
In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing #522, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore a vital question for the remnant in the last days: What is so new about the New Covenant? This episode uncovers how the promises of the New Covenant were already embedded in the Old Testament and how many believers have been disconnected from the very foundations that explain who we are in Christ.
In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 521, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake continue their powerful teaching on the courtroom of heaven and the legal authority of the Blood of Jesus.
The Bible consistently reveals a judicial structure in the spirit realm. From the divine council in Psalm 82, to the accusations of Satan in Job, to the final judgments described in Revelation, Scripture presents a coherent picture of covenant law operating in God’s heavenly court.
In this episode, Dr. Lake explains how Satan functions as the accuser, how repentance removes legal ground from the enemy, and why the blood of Jesus speaks legally in the courtroom of heaven.
The modern Church is under attack — not from the outside, but from within. False doctrines, twisted theologies, and spiritual deception have quietly crept into congregations around the world, leaving believers unprepared for the greatest spiritual battle in human history. In this powerful series, we sit down with Dr. Michael K. Lake — bestselling author, speaker, and biblical scholar. An internationally recognized authority on dynamic Christian living, spiritual warfare, the Hebraic Heritage of the Church, and end-times prophecy, Dr. Lake’s deep scriptural research is changing the way believers understand the world around them.
In KIB Episode 520, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake address the spiritual intensity surrounding this season (Purim, “blood moon,” and heightened occult activity) and then go deep into a foundational subject the remnant must understand: the power of the Blood of Jesus.
This is not superstition. It’s not a chant. It’s not a ritual.
The Blood of Jesus is covenant reality—a legal transaction that secures redemption, silences accusation, and anchors spiritual warfare in heaven’s courtroom.
In this week’s Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 519), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake turn toward the biblical season of Purim and the prophetic lessons embedded in the book of Esther. As hidden things continue to be revealed in our day, Purim reminds us that God is not absent—He is orchestrating reversals, positioning His people, and bringing justice in His timing.
Dr. Lake explores a powerful character study of Esther’s three central figures—Esther, Mordecai, and Haman—and shows how Haman’s identity as “the Agagite” connects the narrative to the ancient war with Amalek. You’ll see how Saul’s incomplete obedience created consequences that surfaced generations later—and how God raised up Mordecai and Esther to finish what Saul failed to do.
This episode also examines the psychological and spiritual profile of Haman: pride, entitlement, obsession with honor, rage at dissent, manipulation of law and finances, and genocidal hatred. The discussion highlights how these traits mirror the “Amalekite/Haman spirit” at work through systems, propaganda, and bureaucratic power—then and now.
Finally, we look at the hope of Purim: divine reversal—the trap of the wicked becoming their own downfall—and the call for the remnant to cultivate spiritual “mnemonic triggers” that keep us anchored in covenant faithfulness, humility, and the Word of God.
In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 518, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake address why the growing exposure of evil—especially surrounding the Epstein scandal and systemic corruption—helps the Body of Messiah understand the seriousness of Mystery Babylon and the coming realities described in Revelation.
They also warn believers to move slowly when engaging disturbing material, to stay anchored in Scripture, and to avoid becoming spiritually destabilized by darkness-focused “research.” Dr. Lake emphasizes a necessary Word + Spirit balance—because when believers abandon Scripture in favor of experiences, visions, or “prophetic spectacle,” they become vulnerable to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4).
In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 517, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake expose a sobering reality: many believers are trying to build spiritual life on compromised foundations, and when the foundation is defiled, the fruit will be defiled—especially in the prophetic and charismatic streams.
Mary Lou shares what the Lord impressed on her this week about false havens Babylon offers—systems, groups, and “comfort structures” that create a counterfeit sense of security and dependency. She also shares a striking spiritual picture: a massive serpent beneath the charismatic church, contaminating the foundation and helping explain the confusion, deception, and counterfeit manifestations so many are encountering.
Dr. Lake then takes us into Scripture to show how the enemy targets foundations through “night arrows” (Psalm 11), how infiltration has worked throughout biblical history, and why the answer is not more spectacle—but a return to Christ as the Cornerstone, with the apostles and prophets (biblically defined) as the foundation.
