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

Your purpose is already being filled when you’re FULLY surrendered and planted at a church where the POWER OF GOD is, and you are positioned to be equipped and receive impartation. It’s simple. Take that weight of “knowing your purpose” off your shoulders!

There are stages, there is a journey to be walking in the fullness of your calling. You begin to walk in your purpose but you are not in the fullness of your purpose. There is a journey in between. Baby steps! Have to start small, before God can trust you with more. Be trustworthy with a little. 

Don’t despise the day of small beginnings, for God loves to see the work begin. (Zechariah 4:10). You can’t start big, you have to start small! God can’t give you the big thing day 1, He will give you the small thing, and see what you do with it and it will grow from there.

Luke 16:10 

“If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities.

God is saying: You have received powerful anointing! Will you be faithful to value what they have received? Are you valuing the directions and instruction so it can grow? You have to pass the tests or it will be taken from you… It’s a principle…. Gods already given you a measure of anointing, don’t sit around and wait. Receive more! It’s in your hands!

Matthew 23:12

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted

Different stewardship tests:

THE TEST OF A SERVANT HEART

Matthew 20:25-27 

Jesus, knowing their thoughts, called them to his side and said, “Kings and those with great authority in this world rule oppressively over their subjects, like tyrants. But this is not your calling. You will lead by a completely different model. The greatest one among you will live as the one who is called to serve others, because the greatest honor and authority is reserved for the one with the heart of a servant.

Don’t obsess with the promised land, be solely focused on being a servant. I am a servant of the LORD! The more you focus on that, the less you focus on yourself and your dreams. Keep your eyes on others only. The testing of this will make your servant heart grow! God will stretch you, if you don’t give up! All I care about is serving God, I don't care when the promise happens, I know it will come to pass so I’m just focused on pleasing God's heart, all I know is I’m a servant of God.

Renew your mind that the promises will come to pass.

For Apostle Kathryn, she had the revelation, when the church was declining, that it's an honor to be a pastor of even ONE PERSON.. no one is worthy of even having a church of 2 people. God said value what I have given you, don’t take it lightly. It is their spiritual lives that’s at stake. Focus on serving them, look at them as the most important people in the world and love them with your whole heart. Give your all. Preach with excellence.” With tons of empty chairs staring at her! God said “don’t think about how you’re uncomfortable and your feelings and how there’s been no growth in years, just focus on serving my people!” She was stewarding well what God had given her.

Value the direction of your spiritual mother or father. Don’t go here, there everywhere. It’s God's direction for you to reach the Promised Land! Take serious the PRECIOUS Word of direction! Take the direction SERIOUS! What if Apostle Kathryn said “I don't feel like editing videos after 2 years of seeing nothing” and stopped? no videos would have ever gone viral so God can touch people.

The work that takes place at the church is the most important part of the work of God! The testimonies and miracles and impartation & equipping! You can’t depart from serving God in His church and expect God to entrust you with anointing. Editing videos and sharing testimonies is a huge part of it! So many things that need to be done for His work to go forth with EXCELLENCE! we should all be serving His work!

THE TEST OF FAITH

The test of your spiritual eyesight and spiritual maturity, you can’t be carnal and carry the anointing. Or you’ll have the anointing and hear from the devil and misuse it. HAVE TO HAVE STRONG POWERFUL FAITH, it’s all BASED ON FAITH!

Are you valuing His promises? Never doubt! Know that God is not a liar! But He doesn’t reveal the timing of everything for your life, it’s humbling but don’t doubt! Believe His promises even when you don’t feel it! Write down the promises, don’t let yourself forget what God has spoken.

Don’t complain when things take too long. He never promised you’d get a shortcut or that it would be easy but He promised you would enter.

Apostle Kathryn didn’t whine or be immature with her spiritual father, with the prophetic word. She didn’t say “When is this prophetic word going to happen?” Or “This is really hard” like “fishing” for another prophetic word or fishing for comfort. She didn’t want to unnecessarily ask things or be selfish or immature. She valued that she was given a wonderful spiritual father and valued what God has already spoken, she respected him and wasn’t a baby. She toughened up and had a strong faith! Didn’t want to dishonor God by misusing the relationship with her spiritual father.

Have to have a strong faith! GROW UP! Be strong and courageous! Don’t whine and cry and ask God for strength. BE STRONG. You BE strong! You GROW UP! you apply what He’s spoken to you! You don’t receive the anointing by being wimpy and childish.

His Spirit is enough, just try to be bold and see the power that’s in you - when your feelings are saying otherwise.

THE TEST OF YOUR TONGUE

The tongue is the biggest weapon that every person has, words carry power even when someone isn’t a Christian. People not even using witchcraft & demonic powers can speak curses over you. The tongue is powerful without the power of God, so how much more WITH the power of God? You could LITERALLY kill your spiritual life with your tongue. He is looking to see if your tongue is tamed. It must be life and intentional and come with purpose. It’s better to be silent, encourage or compliment, speak life or share testimony. Do not complain! (Don’t even say this is so hard, or I’m not good at this) the devil will see oh cool I have ammunition here. And come with more attacks in that area.

Do everything you can with your tongue to make the promise come alive, speak LIFE TO THE PROMISE!! Say “God is refining me and the promises will come to pass” “Thank you God that you will make the promise to come to pass” speak life!

Don’t delay it, you have a part to play. Speak life to yourself, your family and other people. The anointing is real power, you have to know how to speak. Have the revelation “I’m carrying powerful anointing i must speak life only” you have to do this before more anointing comes. You are going to agree with lies from the devil and you think Gods going to trust you with more? You have to master the authority of your own personal life and walk in victory every day before God can trust you with others' lives!

When you make this intention so much, you don’t even know how to agree with the devil anymore!

Eventually words of death don’t even become part of your vocabulary! It becomes like a different language, you don’t even know how to say it!

A TEST OF BOLDNESS, FEAR OF GOD OVER MAN, RELEASE WHAT YOU'VE RECEIVED, HAVING A HEART FOR OTHERS

Revelation 19:10 

For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

A spirit of prophecy comes forth when you testify of the miracle God did for you! Prophecy that they will be delivered of the same thing! 

2 things for miracles to happen - faith and the power of God! (Not just about the minister)

Release faith to others — that’s 50% of the miracle!

People receive more faith because of what you testified about, it’s tied to many more miracles. It’s not just for you! But for many!

Miracles can’t happen without faith - Jesus talks about this.

Faith is released and received in the spiritual realm by our testimonies!

Do not withhold, this is rude to God.

It’s HIS TESTIMONY! IT'S HIS GLORY! It’s not yours! It belongs to Him.

When the first child was delivered of autism, all of a sudden, it was like every week people were bringing their children with autism, and their children were getting free too and testimonies kept on increasing. But that all happened, because one person decided to come and share their testimony. That wouldn’t have taken place if that one didn’t share their testimony. 

God plans His miracles and knows that this person's miracle will bring many more people to receive! TESTIMONIES MUST BE SEEN AND HEARD ABOUT! (Verbal, written etc.) It is your responsibility to steward it well! Don’t hide it! (Parable in Matthew 25:14-30). God wants you to share in every way possible. You cannot be ashamed of what God has done for you. You must be bold.

• Fear God only! Have a heart for others!
• Time to get serious
• It is testing time
• Don’t complain
• Renew your mind
• God is watching
• Please Him only
• I want to be a good steward because He wants to trust me with more!
