What's So New About the New Covenant – Part 2 | Circumcision of the Heart Explained | KIB 523
Kingdom Intelligence Briefing
Description
In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore one of the most neglected truths in modern Christianity: circumcision of the heart and the true reality of the New Covenant.
Mary Lou opens with encouragement for the remnant, updates on weather-related prayer needs in Arizona and New Mexico, and a reminder that God often gives watchmen warnings so the Body of Christ can pray and stop what the enemy intends. She also highlights the importance of remembering the Lord's deliverance through the Passover and the protective power of the blood of Jesus.
Dr. Lake then continues his important series, "What's So New About the New Covenant?" by diving deep into the biblical meaning of heart circumcision. He explains the difference between the relational, functional, and positional dimensions of covenant life, and shows how the Torah written on the heart is not a discarded Old Testament idea but a fulfilled New Covenant reality in Christ.
This episode addresses:
- the difference between outward religion and inward transformation
- why the Church has misunderstood the New Covenant
- how bad theology can wound the spirit
- why the commandments of God still matter when rightly understood
- how circumcision of the heart prepares the remnant for the days ahead
If you have been hungry for a deeper understanding of Scripture, covenant life, and true spiritual maturity, this episode will encourage, challenge, and strengthen you.
