How Mystery Babylon Infiltrates and Influences the Church | KIB 515
Kingdom Intelligence Briefing

Description
Subtitle: Mystery Babylon in the Church: How a Seductive System Keeps Believers Trapped
This Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (episode #515) digs into a hard but crucial question:
How has Mystery Babylon infiltrated and influenced the Church?
Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake unpack how a global Babylonian system has been built around us—politically, economically, spiritually—and how it keeps people "comfortable," passive, and afraid to confront evil. Mary shares a sobering picture the Lord showed her of a Babylonian "cloud system" that pulls people back in whenever they try to step out, and a deeply personal testimony of confronting hidden darkness, trauma, and occult networks.
From there, Dr. Lake lays out a powerful biblical teaching on Mystery Babylon's strategy to infiltrate and then influence the Church:
Seduction instead of open confrontation
Syncretism (mixing paganism with Christianity)
Entertainment-based "worship" replacing reverence
Prophetic performance instead of true prophetic voices
Debt, media, and politics used to pressure pastors
The push to blur holiness, law, and biblical authority
You'll also hear about current examples, including the Sean Bolz / Bethel prophetic scandal, how fear of confrontation keeps leaders trapped, and why so many ministries will not face what's really going on.
Most importantly, this episode is a call to the remnant:
To face the truth about Babylon's influence
To come out of religious harlotry and man-made empire
To return to holiness, the fear of the Lord, biblical depth, and true spiritual warfare
To embrace kingdom identity over cultural identity
To be willing to suffer well, stand apart, and be "the absolute other" in a collapsing system
Dr. Lake closes with a prophetic look at what's ahead in 2026–2027, the coming shaking of Babylon, and a charge to stand firm so you can hear, "Well done, My good and faithful servant."

Why the obsession with personal prophecies is dangerous, and encouragement to seek God directly.

Mystery Babylon as a counterfeit religious, political, and economic system that works by infiltration → influence → substitution.

YouTube Description
This Kingdom War Room roundtable is all about keeping children safe.
Dr. Michael Lake is joined by Dr. Mike Spaulding, Dr. Corby Shuey, and special guest Joe Horn (host of SkyWatch TV and author of Innocence Shattered: Dismantling the Insidious War Against Our Children) to equip believers to protect children from trafficking, abuse, grooming, and cultural deception.
They expose how:
Human trafficking and exploitation target the most vulnerable
The foster care system can be abused and misused
Pornography addiction in the church fuels demand for exploitation
Schools, media, and culture are softening and rebranding evil (e.g., "minor-attracted persons")
The erosion of biblical masculinity and the family leaves children unprotected
But this conversation is not just about exposing darkness — it's about practical, hope-filled solutions so that parents, grandparents, pastors, and the remnant can actively keep children safe:
How to pray strategically and stand in the gap
How to get involved locally to protect kids in your community
How ministries like Whispering Ponies Ranch and Royal Family Kids / For The Children bring healing to deeply traumatized children
How restoring biblical family roles and strong, godly men creates safer homes and communities

The Constraining Ministry of the Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer – Part 2 | KIB 514
Kingdom Intelligence Briefing
 

📝 Description
In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 514, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake continue their vital teaching on the constraining ministry of the Holy Spirit—and how it is absolutely essential for marriage, purity, discernment, and survival in spiritual war.
Mary opens the program by addressing current storms in the nations and the reality that we rarely see the full picture of what is happening. Yet in the midst of global shaking and personal battles, God is still orchestrating events for salvation, protection, and the harvest.
They then discuss a recent public moral failure of a well-known Christian author as a sober teaching moment—not to spread gossip, but to help believers understand:
How adultery and betrayal devastate families
Why even long-term marriages are not automatically "safe"
The often-overlooked role of witchcraft, mind control, and spiritual manipulation in drawing believers into sinful relationships
Why many in ministry must intentionally build safeguards, boundaries, and accountability
From there, the Lakes share practical counsel on:
Guarding your heart and marriage
Avoiding emotional and soulish "work spouse" entanglements
The importance of friendship, communication, date days, and intentional connection in marriage
Using the constraining ministry of the Holy Spirit as "preventative prayer" against future traps
Dr. Lake then returns to the core teaching on the Holy Spirit's constraining work:
How the Spirit forbids, redirects, and closes doors for our protection (Acts 16)
Why believers must be willing to have plans changed, trips canceled, or timings shifted
The difference between reacting in the flesh and responding from a kingdom position
How grieving the Holy Spirit dulls conviction and destroys discernment
Why the safest place in the coming days is to stay on the Potter's wheel under the hands of God
They also discuss Sabbath balance—avoiding legalistic bondage while still honoring the commandment—and how traditions or mindsets can make the Sabbath a burden instead of a delight.
This episode concludes with a powerful prayer for softened hearts, renewed sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and a deeper surrender to God's reshaping work so that the remnant can stand in the increasing clash of kingdoms.

🔥 The Constraining Ministry of the Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer – Part 1 | KIB 513
Kingdom Intelligence Briefing
 

📝 Description
In this powerful episode of Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 513), Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake uncover a forgotten but essential ministry of the Holy Spirit—His constraining power.
In a time of increasing deception, lawlessness, narcissism, and spiritual confusion, many believers have rejected restraint while demanding blessing. Yet Scripture reveals that the Holy Spirit does not merely empower—He governs, restrains, convicts, and lovingly redirects the surrendered life.
This teaching explores:
The difference between Holy Spirit governance and coercion
Why true freedom requires divine restraint
How the Holy Spirit protects believers from spiritual traps
The collapse of occult "constructs" through repentance and forgiveness
Why modern Christianity resists sanctification and constraint
The growing spiritual warfare over the mind, body, and will
How divine love constrains us for safety, maturity, and victory
Dr. Lake also exposes how democratic affluence produces modern "barbarians", contrasts this with biblical kingdom living, and explains why discernment collapses when the Spirit's restraint is rejected.
This episode is a foundational teaching for the remnant, preparing believers for the days ahead and restoring biblical balance to Spirit-led living.

The Warrior Mindset & Matthew 24 | BLTV-Y0001
Biblical Life TV | January 2026

Description
This month, we begin a new ongoing series designed to help recalibrate our paradigms and think biblically in the days ahead. In this episode, Dr. Michael Lake explores why the Word of God is not merely a devotional book—but a war book, filled with divine concealment, spiritual discernment, and prophetic "bookends" from Genesis to Revelation.
We walk through the mystery of Genesis 1:1–2, the meaning of tohu and bohu, and how the "dragon of chaos" and the "beast" imagery connect to Revelation 13 and even Matthew 24—revealing the enemy's strategy of escalating global chaos to prepare the world for a counterfeit savior. Along the way, we discuss false doctrine, false prophecy, persecution, lawlessness, and why the remnant must recover a warrior mindset and rediscover the gospel of the Kingdom.
