Truth vs. Twisting: Isaiah 5, Leviathan, and Courage for the Remnant  |  KIB 502

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” (Isaiah 5:20, ESV). In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 502, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake address today’s climate of fear, the cultural normalization of darkness (especially around Halloween), and the Leviathan spirit that twists truth and communication. From Isaiah 5’s “wild grapes” to Jesus’ teaching on the vineyard, we explore how societies—and even churches—descend into madness when they reject God’s covenant, and how the remnant can stand firm in humility, prayer, and truth.

Raising Deborahs & Defending the Word: Spiritual Warfare for the Last Days | KIB 501

In this Feast of Tabernacles episode of Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (KIB 501), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake call the remnant to the Word and the War—urging believers to return to a physical Bible, cultivate a warfare worldview, and pray for strong women of faith to rise like Deborah and Esther (and for redeemed Rahabs and Tamars to step boldly into God’s plan).
We unpack why everything is spiritual warfare, how the Word of God births, cleanses, protects, heals, and equips, and why Psalm 22 stands as a stunning fulfilled prophecy of Messiah’s crucifixion. Practical tools for marking your Bible, study tips, and a recommended read—God at War by Gregory Boyd—are included.

Stop the Chaos: How God Breaks Confusion (120-Year Window & Digital ID Warning) | KIB 500

Episode 500! 🎺 Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake sound the shofar and tackle one of the enemy’s primary tactics in this hour: confusion. Mary shares a powerful prophetic frame about a 120-year window (Genesis 6:3), regional spiritual warfare, and hope for those marred by Baphomet’s counterfeit patterns—followed by Scripture-anchored strategies to regain clarity and walk in kingdom order (Isaiah 42).

Dr. Lake connects the dots between rising digital ID systems, censorship pressures, and end-time control grids, urging the remnant to cultivate discernment, prioritize the Word and prayer (the 80/20 rule), and resist the endless scroll that fractures attention. Practical counsel, pastoral prayer, and a fresh call to sanctification and sound mind.
