What if many things modern believers consider normal are actually remnants of a world system from which Christ has called us to separate?
In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 545, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake examine the continuing spiritual battle between the Kingdom of God and the systems of this world. Beginning with the influence of ancient Greek and Roman culture and moving deeply into the Apostle Paul’s teaching in Ephesians, this episode challenges the Remnant to recognize just how thoroughly the ways of the old world can become embedded in culture, religion, education, tradition, and everyday life.
Dr. Lake focuses particularly on Ephesians 2:1–3, where Paul describes three interconnected dimensions of humanity’s former bondage: the world, the devil, and the flesh. But Paul does not leave believers there. Christ has been raised above every ruler and authority, and those who belong to Him have been called into an entirely different Kingdom and way of life.

The Serpent’s Foundation in the Church | KIB 517

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.
