Holy Fire or Strange Fire? When Judgment Begins at the House of God | KIB 507
Kingdom Intelligence Briefing
Description
Is the fire in today’s churches from the Holy Spirit—or from Babylon? In this sobering episode of Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake examine holy fire vs. strange fire, why judgment must begin at the house of God, and how the remnant can walk safely through coming judgments with their “censers” filled only with the fire of Heaven.
They discuss the persecution of believers in Nigeria, the subtle rise of entertainment-based Christianity, the danger of unholy manifestations in church, and the growing crisis of child trafficking as the true currency of Babylon. This is a call for deep repentance, discernment, and a return to God’s ways so that the remnant can stand as God’s special forces in the last days.
If you long for holiness, discernment, and the true fear of the Lord, this episode will both challenge and encourage you to examine the fire in your own life.

The dangers of showmanship-driven services, warm fuzzies without transformation, and the counterfeit comfort that keeps people carnal.
33:25 – Strange Fire in Scripture: Nadab & Abihu
Leviticus 10 and the meaning of zor—strange fire as an enemy fire, connected to the imagery of the harlot of Babylon; mixing foreign fire with the altar of God.
38:00 – Korah’s Rebellion & What’s in Your Censer?
Numbers 16: each man with his own censer. Our lives as censers that can carry either the fire of God or the fire of Babylon; Aaron running ahead of the plague with holy fire to stay judgment.
