This message was released by Apostle Kathryn Krick Lead Pastor/ Apostle of 5F Church in Los Angeles, CA on November 4, 2024. Below is a word for word translation of the message as if Apostle Kathryn is writing this to you. To watch the full clip, scroll to the bottom of this post. We pray this teaching blesses you and equips you to walk as a powerful vessel of God.  

Luke 8:1 

Soon afterward Jesus began a tour of the nearby towns and villages, preaching and announcing the Good News about the kingdom of God. He took his twelve disciples with him, along with some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases. Among them were Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons, Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod‘s business manager, Susanna and many others who were contributing from their own resources to support Jesus and his disciples.  

We have here some of these women, these disciples that Jesus brought with him. They were contributing from their own resources to support Jesus and his disciples. 

I am sharing with you directions from God to be a leader and to change the world, to be a leader that makes this to really be an army. That you are really an army that brings victory, that advances God‘s kingdom. 

So this is through serving, through sharing the reports, through testifying, through lifting your light up by lifting your fruit up and showing the world: “Look at this fruit! This is revival, don‘t miss it! Look at this fruit! Look at this fruit!” … with passion, screaming like the Samaritan woman at the well. Hallelujah!

And secondly by having a praying spirit. 

We saw revival break out through the testimonies. Number two, we saw revival break out to expand and more and more people come to Jesus through prayers, through passionately praying in one accord. 

And thirdly we are seeing the work of God able to go forth, Jesus able to go and minister to the crowds of people who now want to come and receive because of the testimonies shared and the prayers, and it happened as people were donating. People were giving financially. Now Jesus is able to go and minister to the masses. 

This is what he is calling you to as a leader. To be a contributor. Financially. To sow into this work of God. Because it is going to keep growing. 

If we were going to stay the same, you don’t need to increase giving. But we aren’t staying the same. We are going forward every day.  

I never would have imagined this spring, that 8,000 people would fill an arena, that we would actually have to change venues after already paying for the other venue, that we would have to get another venue, an arena to hold 8,000 people in the Philippines. That happened September 18th, a couple of weeks ago. Hallelujah!

But thankfully we had people ready to give at that moment. 5F family with passionate hearts, ready to give. This is what goes into it! The work of God, the expansion of the work of God. 

God is asking you to have this mind of a leader, to think bigger. 

To not be content where we are. 

But to want to go higher. 

To want to do more. 

To want to work harder. 

To want to give more. 

To want to sacrifice more. 

To want to pray more. 

To want to testify more. 

To want to deny your flesh more. 

That‘s the heart of a leader, the mind of a leader that God is looking for and asking you to have. 

There is no greater joy than seeing God move through you.  

And I want you to remember that with your testimonies, with your contributions, with your prayers, God is moving and changing the world. People are coming to Jesus through what you are doing. They are being healed and delivered by what you are doing. Remember that, because this is going to give you the motivation every day. To keep going. To go higher. Amen. 

It‘s time to increase your fire, 5F Church! Revival Army! It‘s time to increase this fire. 

We‘re going higher! Increase your fire!
