Raising Deborahs & Defending the Word: Spiritual Warfare for the Last Days | KIB 501

Kingdom Intelligence Briefing

Description

In this Feast of Tabernacles episode of Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (KIB 501), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake call the remnant to the Word and the War—urging believers to return to a physical Bible, cultivate a warfare worldview, and pray for strong women of faith to rise like Deborah and Esther (and for redeemed Rahabs and Tamars to step boldly into God's plan). We unpack why everything is spiritual warfare, how the Word of God births, cleanses, protects, heals, and equips, and why Psalm 22 stands as a stunning fulfilled prophecy of Messiah's crucifixion. Practical tools for marking your Bible, study tips, and a recommended read—God at War by Gregory Boyd—are included.

What you'll get in this message

• How God uses flawed people and raises mighty women in this hour
• Why a physical Bible (with margins & proper highlighters) matters
• The warfare worldview from Moses to Paul—and what it means for daily discipleship
• Ten+ ways the Word transforms believers (life, cleansing, protection, healing, discernment, faith, renewal, equipping, fruitfulness, alignment with God's will)
• Psalm 22 as a precise, fulfilled prophecy of the crucifixion
• A call to pray over leaders, courts, and national issues with hope and perseverance
