This message was released by Apostle Kathryn Krick Lead Pastor/ Apostle of 5F Church in Los Angeles, CA on February 29, 2024. Below is a word for word translation of the message as if Apostle Kathryn is writing this to you. To watch the full answer scroll to the bottom of this post. We pray this teaching blesses you and equips you to walk as a powerful vessel of God. 

Sometimes God doesn’t heal immediately. Sometimes the healing has taken place in the spiritual realm & it’s just His will in the situation that it happens over time. Just like the people who had leprosy came to Jesus, He said show yourself to the priests, & the Bible says on their way to the priests, they were healed. So, it was His will. It was His plan for them to not be healed immediately in the presence of Jesus, but to be healed later. They were healed in the spiritual realm, but they didn’t see physically till later. So, in the same way, for some people in some cases, that’s just how God is doing it. And many times, this is a way that God wants to test one’s faith, to see if you will apply the principles He’s taught & be obedient & have faith & trust Him.

And then of course there can be some situations where a key needs to be unlocked still in the spiritual realm.

And then another instance can be for the purpose of God knowing one’s heart & God seeing that their heart has some growing to do. And God can see sometimes, someone, some person will be led to go to a ministry where God's power is. And so much so because they really need God’s power. They need healing. They need deliverance. That’s the big reason they go there. They love God, yes, but maybe there isn’t a complete surrender or complete maturity in the heart. So, so much of their motive is to receive the healing & freedom. Their NUMBER ONE motive isn’t to seek God & serve Him period. Their number one motive, number one desire is to receive healing & deliverance. And maybe number two, to serve God. And so, even though one loves God truly, but maybe they have not grown to a place where God needs them to be. So, God can see in the spiritual realm that the devil will tempt them to leave the ministry where God’s power is once they have received their healing & freedom. God can see that sometimes. And so, God is really saving a person from a life that's where they were deceived by the enemy & they were not surrendered to God. He’s really saving them by not bringing the complete healing or freedom immediately because He sees ahead what would happen. And so, He uses that like desire & seeking for complete healing & freedom, & then keeping them coming to change them, to begin to transform them until they are ready, they are ready to be completely healed & freed. He sees that they won’t go away once they are healed or freed. That’s not every situation. There’s many people that can come to the church & they’re not even surrendered to God but God’s power hits them & they’re so convicted, they’re so enamored by God’s love that even though they’re a baby Christian, they’re not going anywhere.

So, it just depends on the situation. God sees these things that we don’t know, that we don’t see so that’s why we just trust Him. That’s why if we don’t see a healing manifest immediately, we don’t blame God, we don’t question God. We just trust Him & we just do our part. The simple part that we have of just believing Him & obeying Him. Doing what He has told us to do, applying the principles. His principles, in His word. And we leave the rest to Him. We don’t go and try to figure out, we don’t go & be consumed with like confusion of why we’re not seeing it happen yet, we just trust Him.
