The Church desperately needs to rediscover the biblical office of the evangelist.
In Episode 539 of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael Lake continues his series on the biblical Fivefold Ministry by examining what Scripture actually teaches about the office of the evangelist. Far removed from modern celebrity culture and emotional revivalism, the true evangelist is a herald of God’s Kingdom who faithfully proclaims the Gospel, calls sinners to repentance, equips believers for soul-winning, and establishes disciples for Christ.
Mary Lou Lake begins this episode by sharing an encouraging word on God’s promise to quicken His people (Romans 8:11), praying for healing, restoration, renewed strength, and spiritual refreshing for the remnant. She also discusses the importance of strategic prayer for our nation, including praying over spiritual strongholds influencing Washington, D.C.
Dr. Lake then explores the biblical foundations of the evangelist through the ministries of Noah, Jonah, Isaiah, John the Baptist, Philip, Timothy, and ultimately Jesus Himself. This study challenges many modern assumptions while calling believers back to authentic New Testament ministry built upon repentance, discipleship, holiness, and covenant faithfulness.

True Prophets vs. False Prophets: The Biblical Test the Church Has Forgotten | KIB 538
How does Scripture distinguish between a true prophet and a false prophet? In an age filled with competing prophetic voices, sensational claims, and growing deception, believers must return to the biblical standard.
In this teaching, Dr. Lake examines the lives of the Old Testament prophets to demonstrate that God’s primary qualification for prophetic ministry has never been giftedness—it has always been godly character. From Moses and Samuel to Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Elijah, Daniel, and John the Baptist, the biblical pattern reveals prophets who were first transformed by God’s holiness before they proclaimed His message.
This episode also exposes the defining characteristics of false prophets found throughout Scripture and explains why discernment is becoming increasingly essential as we approach the return of Christ.
