The parable of the prodigal son is one of the most powerful stories about redemption that Jesus ever taught. This parable can be examined from many angles: the prodigal son, the father, and the elder brother. There are more dynamics involved with the elder brother than most realize. We are in a season of God bringing the prodigal children home. We must examine our hearts to ensure we are ready for their return.
Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to walk in love. Yet, that is precisely what the Bible teaches us to do. Walking in love is an often-overlooked aspect of spiritual warfare. But the love walk is necessary to keep our doors closed to the enemy and to walk in victory.
In any warfare, there are different protocols for engaging ground troops, air support, etc. The same is true in spiritual warfare. Engaging demons and dealing with principalities and powers are two utterly different Kingdom protocols. Confusion in the difference between the two has caused unnecessary causalities in the theater of spiritual combat. It is time for the body of Messiah to learn the protocols for the spiritual battlefield!
Now that The Kingdom Priesthood is in print, the ministry is moving forward with the Strategic Remnant Learning Center. An update on this project is included in the podcast. We are also about to enter into Teshuvah (40 days of reflection and repentance before the Day of Atonement). It is time for a deep cleaning of the heart to prepare for the coming recompense that will be released from the throne of God
Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake examine our current situation in the United States and equate our moment within human history with the task of the Jewish people coming out of Babylonian captivity in the time of Nehemiah. In this ancient prophet’s day, the task of the people of God was threefold: (1) Rebuild the Temple, (2) Re-establish the laws of God, and (3) Rebuild the wall of protection around Jerusalem. This can be translated in our day to (1) Rebuild the Kingdom Priesthood, (2) learn the ways and commandments of God, and (3) enter into proper spiritual warfare. An essential component of spiritual warfare is learning to exercise and develop expertise in our Kingdom authority.
It appears that the Deep State is making its move and it seems to somewhat match biblical prophecy. Does this mean that the Remnant should just roll over and not fight? God forbid! It is a time to hear from God, throw off every weight that is holding us back, and move in a determination and faith that this generation has not seen before! The strongest iron is forged by the hottest flame.
How do we interpret what is going on around the world today? Is it the end or just the prelude to the tribulation period? How is the Remnant to prepare for the days ahead? Is Heaven going to be silent, as the plans of the deep state march forward, or does the Almighty have a plan? Finally, with all of the talk about the mark of the beast, why is no one talking about the importance of the mark of God? We are at a pivotal point in history, and our vision and purpose must be aligned with the Kingdom.
When one speaks of liberty, what does he really mean? To the secular individual, liberty means one thing. To the biblically minded Christian, liberty means something completely different. Are we free in Christ to obey the Word or do anything we want under the label of grace? How does the Law of God connect to our liberty? These questions are essential in restoring America.
Recompense is a powerful concept in the Word of God. When the Almighty moves to give recompense to humanity, the righteous are blessed, and the unrighteous are destroyed by their own works. We are entering into such a time in this biblical cycle. In September, God is going to release recompense upon the Western world. Are we ready? The forty days of Teshuvah will be essential before the Day of Atonement this year. Remnant, prepare yourself for the days ahead!
Lilith and a host of unclean spirits have been released upon the world in the past few months. The apostle Paul reveals in 2 Tim. 3:1-9, that the only way to combat these spirits in the last days is through a position of godliness (or holiness). It is time to abandon the intoxicating nectar of Babylon and return to the purity of God’s Word. What will earmark the Remnant in the days ahead will be godliness in their lives!
