Are We Lovers or Prostitutes? The Refiner’s Fire & The True Bride of Christ | KIB 485
Kingdom Intelligence Briefing
📖 Description
This powerful episode of Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (KIB 485) features Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake as they deliver a sobering and prophetic message for the Remnant in these last days. Beginning with testimonies of God’s healing power and moving into a deep exposition of Revelation 2 and Malachi 3, this episode challenges every believer to ask: Have we become lovers of God or merely religious prostitutes?
From Rabbi Jonathan Cahn to a stirring tract by Dr. Riser, and an unforgettable illustration of silver refinement, Dr. Lake exposes the subtle deception of modern church enterprise, therapeutic deism, and the dangers of a CEO-style pastoral model. The Lakes call us to embrace the Refiner’s Fire, repent, and be conformed into the image of Christ—before judgment comes.
📌 Important Themes: Sound doctrine, the Laodicean church, refining fire, prophetic urgency, church commercialization, repentance, and restoration of true holiness.
