What Is So New about the New Covenant? Indwelling Spirit of God – In and Upon | KIB 525
Kingdom Intelligence Briefing
Description
In Episode 525 of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer and why a right understanding of the New Covenant is essential for the remnant in these last days.
This episode examines the difference between the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the promise of the Spirit in Ezekiel 36 and Jeremiah 31, and how God writes His law upon the heart of the believer through a covenant relationship. Dr. Lake also addresses the dangers of counterfeit spirits, misplaced charismatic emphasis, and the spiritual deception that has infiltrated much of the modern Church.
Mary Lou opens with powerful insights connected to the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Jericho, Rahab’s covenant, and the need for obedience in a prophetic hour. Together, they discuss spiritual discernment, the transformation of character, the fruit of the Spirit, and the necessity of separating from Babylon’s system in order to walk in true kingdom power.
This is a timely message for believers seeking authentic Holy Spirit transformation, biblical covenant living, and discernment in an age of deception.
Topics covered in this episode:
The Feast of Unleavened Bread and Jericho, Rahab and covenant parallels, Achan and the accursed thing, Nephilim strongholds and Mystery Babylon, the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant, being born again and indwelt by the Spirit, Spirit baptism versus Spirit indwelling, counterfeit spirits in the Church, the fruit of the Spirit as evidence of life, sanctification and internalized Torah, spiritual warfare through the Spirit, and Christ being formed in the believer.
