This message was shared by Apostle Kathryn Krick Lead Pastor/ Apostle of 5F Church in Los Angeles, CA on June 15, 2025. Below is a word for word transcription of the message as if Apostle Kathryn is writing this to you. To watch the full video scroll to the bottom of this post. We pray this teaching blesses you and equips you to walk as a powerful vessel of God.  

Jesus says in Luke 2:49

And He said to them, “Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father’s business?”

“I must be about my Father’s business”, Jesus said. What Jesus came to do on this earth, besides going on the cross to die for us, besides that, it was an example for us. He set an example for us. We don’t have to go on the cross. Glory to God! He took our sins from us, He took the suffering from us, He made the ultimate sacrifice for us. Hallelujah. We don’t have to go on the cross, but we do have to pick up our own cross in the spiritual realm. So even that is an example in a way. 

Everything that Jesus came to do on this earth was to show us an example. We are to do what He did. And He was about His Father’s business. What is the Father’s business? First of all, the Father’s business is His whole heart. His business is the saving of souls, revealing His love to every person on this earth, healing the sick, freeing the oppressed, raising the dead, breaking curses, destroying every work of the devil and releasing abundant life, releasing peace, releasing joy. Bringing people into a relationship with Him. That’s the Father’s business. And that is what Jesus was about. He was all about the Father’s business. And we too are called to be about our Father’s business. To be about our Father’s business means to be devoted to the Father’s business. To be about, that means that is what we are living for, that is our purpose, that is our calling, that is our focus, that is our mission. That is where we put our heart. Because that is where God’s heart is. Because we are united with God’s heart, we are after His heart. To be after God’s heart is to be about His business, about the Father’s business. 

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. 

So, it says that Jesus was casting out demons, was healing the sick, was doing miracles, and when He revealed His love and power, saving these people, freeing these people, healing these people, they then became His disciples and followed Him. They didn’t just receive the healing, receive the freedom, receive the salvation and go about their life as usual. They became disciples. They became about the Father’s business with Jesus. They became partners. I mean, they followed Him. They followed Him everywhere, not just to hear His teachings, not just to keep on receiving from Him, but they followed Him everywhere to join Him, be a partner with Him in the Father’s business. To assist Him in the Father’s business. This Scripture is powerful because it is not saying, “They were healed and they were delivered and they were just keeping on needing to be set free again and again. They needed more and more demons cast out of them. They just followed Jesus and kept receiving.” It says, “They were healed, they were freed and then they followed Him, they assisted and contributed to the ministry!” 

Many others who were contributing, contributing to the ministry, from their own resources to support Jesus and His disciples.

That is where the focus was. Because when God heals you and frees you and saves you, you don’t need more freedom. He has done it. He has destroyed the works of the devil in your life, He has given you abundant life, and you have now been blessed to become a blessing. You have been set free to help other people be set free. You have been saved to help other people be saved. You have been healed to help others be healed. You have encountered God’s love, your eyes have been opened up to His love to help others’ eyes open up to His love. And the main place where healing is happening, freedom is happening, the power of God is demonstrated and people are being equipped to be vessels of God and receive impartation to be anointed vessels of God, the main place that happens is in the church. When you look in the book of Acts, this is our example of what church looked like, this is our example of what a believer’s life looked like. And it would say that the people in the church, the believers, were continually in awe of the signs and wonders performed by the apostles. It also says that all believers, these signs shall follow them, they shall lay hands on the sick and they will be healed, they shall cast out demons. These are some of the signs that it talks about. All believers! So yes, we are all called to walk in miracles. We are all called to that. But when we read the bible, when we read the Acts Church, the main place where we hear miracles taking place, people being equipped, the power of God being demonstrated, is the church. The believers are equipped by the five-fold ministry, Ephesians 4:11-16.

So, these leaders are given more anointing, a higher level of anointing, a higher level of understanding of the Scriptures, a higher level of maturity, for the purpose of equipping others. So that you have someone to imitate, as Paul says, “Imitate me as I imitate Christ. Follow me as I follow Christ.” So, for the believers to walk in miracles, that these signs shall follow them, and for them to do it in God’s order, not just any old way and being led by the devil masquerading himself as an angel of light and doing it in religion and old wine; for believers to walk in miracles and be in God’s order, they have to be equipped. They have to be equipped in the church. So the church, the ministry, coming here, is the main place of God doing His work. And then it is an overflow through you all into the world, as you go out into the world. You receive anointing, you receive the love of God, the demonstration of the power of God comes upon your life, you are baptized in the Holy Spirit here. You are healed, you are set free so you are not held back by the enemy any more. You are given the word of God, you are given wisdom so you can discern between the devil’s voice and God’s voice. So now you are ready to go out in the world and to really be a representative of Jesus. God can use you powerfully because of what you have received in the church. It can’t happen any other way because this is God’s order. You cannot be equipped on your own without the church, without the church where God has called you to be planted at. And when we read the bible, old testament to new testament, every example we see of miracles taking place, is through a vessel. Every miracle that is described! It doesn’t mean that God can’t do a miracle without a vessel, but what it does mean is that this is God’s way of releasing miracles. This is His principle and His way. He can do it outside when it is needed. When someone is crying out to God in their room and there is not a vessel around, they don’t know how to get to a vessel, they never heard about a church where God’s power is moving, He can come and touch them! I know that has happened for many of you here. But there have been so many of you, where you have been oppressed, you have been sick, you have never encountered God’s power, you didn’t have revelation really of His love, but you instead had religion and for years and years and years you cried out for freedom, you cried out for healing, you cried out to really know His love - and nothing ever happened until you came to a church where God’s power was moving! That is because it is God’s main way of moving. He was causing you to be hungry and seek and He would guide you to where to go, once you would actually seek. He would put videos up on your social media, for example. Once you were seeking. Instead of your normal social media scroll of worldly things, you start to search for videos about God. And as you searched there, that is where God can bring a video now where His anointing is moving. So, He answered your prayer but it involved you seeking Him to find Him. When you seek me with all your heart, then you will find me, as the bible says.

It is important that you understand the importance of the church. If you have not experienced a church where God’s power is, you won’t understand the importance of the church. Because then it is just a place where you are hearing a good message but not being changed. You are hearing a good message but you still have demons. You make some Christian friends but they are lukewarm and have oppression themselves and they are used by the enemy. It is a mess. So you won’t understand the importance of the church. Part of your eyes being opened up and coming into the new wine, is having revelation of the necessity of the church, the importance of the church. Understanding, this is the core of God’s work! For the most amount of people to be reached in this world, depends on the church being strong. And people being committed to the church, being really planted, being true disciples, so that you can receive all that God needs you to receive to go out in the world and to be a powerful vessel of Him.

Notice in this Scripture we just read:

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.

Notice that Mary Magdalene and the others who were set free from demons and the others who were healed; they didn’t just go and do their own thing. They didn’t just go and start their own ministry day one or year one after being delivered. They didn’t just stay with Jesus for some months, gained some wisdom from the teaching and think they can just go out and start their own ministry or do the work of God their own way. But they realized that Jesus had saved them, healed them and delivered them and they realized that God was calling them to be a part of what saved them, healed them, delivered them. Not to be prideful and think, you can just go do this on your own, but value what you have received. See the preciousness of it and have the heart for other people to receive what you have received. So, they joined Jesus, they helped Jesus, they served Jesus. They contributed financially from their own resources to support Jesus’ ministry, so that this work of God could go to different cities, to different places. That wouldn’t have been possible if they hadn’t supported; if they hadn’t devoted themselves and truly been about the Father’s business.

So, you are set free, God has freed you, not just for you to enjoy being free now, but He has freed you so you can fulfill your purpose now, which is to be about your Father’s business, to contribute to this work of God where you have found that freedom. Where you have encountered God’s love. This is your purpose. This is why you are here. You are here to be about your Father’s business. ABOUT! FULLY DEVOTED! Hallelujah!

I want to ask you a question: Are you really about your Father’s business? Is it what is most important to you? Is it what you are devoted to the most? Or is it a side hobby? Is your Father’s business a side hobby?

Your devotion, your contribution to the Father’s business, is that 10% of your life? 10% of what you are blessed with? Is it 10% of your gifts? Is it 10% of your finances? Or is it 100%? 

Amen, praise God, I hear some people say 100%. Amen!

This is a question for all of you. You don’t have to answer. It is something I want you to think about. 

Are you fully devoted to the Father’s business? Because in the Christian culture of today I would say it is not normal to be 100% devoted to the Father’s business. I would say it is more common to be 10% or maybe 20 or 30%. And I am talking about everything. I am talking about your heart, like meditating on what God has done for you and how you want to give thanks to Him for what He has done for you. And meditating on being after His heart and what that means.The greatest commandment is to love the Lord God with all your heart and to love people. Love His people. Are you meditating on that truth regularly? Are you making intention to love God’s people? Are you doing what is necessary to love God’s people? The biggest thing you can do to love God’s people is to be about the Father’s business. The greatest love you can show anybody is leading them to where God is moving in power. Because if you are ashamed to testify where you have received for example, and you just simply share something like, “God loves you”, but you hold back sharing your testimony; maybe on your social media you talk about God, but you do not direct people to His kingdom on this earth, where He is moving in power, His revival; they are not being led to receive freedom. When you lead people to where God’s power is moving, you are leading them to receive what you have received, to be free, to be healed, to encounter God’s power, to be equipped to be a powerful vessel of God to fulfill their purpose on this earth. 

And it is not just testifying. Being about the Father’s business means these things: serving God in His work, sharing your testimony, sharing what God is doing, verbally with people in your life but also on social media, to the highest extent. Using creativity to get the word out about revival, about God’s power moving that set you free and set thousands free all over the world and healed thousands and revealed God’s love that led people into true surrender and to be on fire. Serving God is testifying. That is a big part of it. Serving God is using your gifts and your time to serve Him in His ministry, in His work, in the church. And if you are not physically in LA, or if you are but there is not something for you to serve, you can do so much through your social media. Spreading the good news, sharing the videos, getting flyers and handing them out. That is serving God. It is using your gifts for God, it is using your abilities for God. That is being about your Father’s business. It is using your time, your energy, your strength for God. That is being about your Father’s business. And also being about your Father’s business is contributing financially to the work of God. Because to receive the gospel, healing and freedom, to receive a prophetic word, to receive the anointing, is free! It is completely free. For anybody to receive it, it is free. They don’t have to pay anything to receive salvation, healing and freedom, the anointing, impartation. It is 100% free. But for the work of God to be taken to those people to freely receive; for the word of God to be taken city to city, nation to nation; for the word of God to be taken to LA week after week here downtown LA, it costs not just a little bit of money, it costs a lot of money. Especially in the times we live in now. Jesus says, “You will do greater things than I did”. Part of the greater things is that we can reach more nations than Jesus did when He ministered on this earth. Because of social media, number one, but also because of planes. In the Scripture that we read about them contributing to the ministry of Jesus, they were funding the trips. The travel, the lodging, the food and anything that was needed for the church service to happen. But they didn’t have to pay for flight tickets. They didn’t have to pay for venues that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars sometimes. $100,000 or $60,000 or in between. 

There is a cost to the greater things. We will do greater things but it comes with a cost. We GET TO do greater things but it comes with a cost.

Back then they were contributing financially to the ministry of Jesus. Now we are called to do the same thing. But we got to step it up. The funding of the work of God going all over the world, it can’t happen when people are not fully about the Father’s business. It won’t happen. It won’t happen if all the believers are just giving a part of themselves to the work of God. It can’t happen in mainstream Christian culture today. The way mainstream Christian culture of today is lukewarm and just gives a percentage or a very small percentage of themselves; their time, their giftings, their finances, to the work of God. We got to step all the way into the new wine. If we want the new wine, revival, it comes with a cost. And it is such a reward to be a part of the revival; to not be a bystander, but be a part of the revival. There is no greater joy than that. There is no greater joy than being one who laid the bricks; built the house for this work of God. To not just stand there and watch it, but actually be a part. To actually look around and see all the testimonies. Those of you that give to 5F Church, you are a part of the testimony that was here. 

Apostle Kathryn shared of one woman being completely free of suicidal thoughts. She may only be alive today because she came to 5F Church and God touched her in power. That woman is only alive today because people gave, you gave to the work of God. Truly. Isn’t that powerful? Does that give you joy? That gives me joy. I don’t think there is any greater joy than to be a partner with the hero Jesus. Because God chooses to use vessels. He wants to use vessels to do everything. Sometimes they aren’t willing so He does things without a vessel sometimes, but He wants to use vessels. That is His main way of releasing His word, releasing equipping, releasing impartation, releasing healing, releasing freedom, releasing the baptism of the Holy Spirit, breaking curses, revealing His love through a prophetic word. That is what He wants. That is just His way. Why? That is just His way! That is what He has chosen. That is what He wants. 

If you think about it, it is like this: The hero Jesus is the one that saved, healed, delivered and saved the woman from committing suicide. But He needed to use a vessel. I mean this in a humble way, but I want you to understand, I want you to have the joy of a great work that you do as you contribute to the work of God. The hero Jesus needed you! You became one with the hero! That is your value! 

There’s a great reward in contributing to the work of God with all your heart, being fully about the Father’s business. There’s a great reward of joy. The joy of seeing the Father proud of you and the joy of fulfilling your purpose on this earth, the contentment that it brings. And the joy of seeing someone be saved, healed, and delivered because of your obedience. There’s no greater joy than that. Hallelujah! 

I want to ask you, are you living today, are you living your life by what society says? Like how you’re living your life, how you are using your money, how you are using your time, how you are using your gifting, are you in autopilot and living how society, even mainstream Christian society that you’ve learned, culture that you learned, by what they say is right? Or are you fully in the new wine, fully surrendered, and giving everything to Jesus and removing yourself from culture, removing yourself from what culture and society says you are entitled to. 

I’ve removed myself out of culture, out of Christian culture, mainstream Christian culture of what they say I’m entitled to. My life would be so different right now. I would have a lot more things, material things. Material things are not a bad thing to have, but just in God’s timing. I would have a lot more “things”, dreams, good dreams, godly dreams, but I would have a lot of those things right now, long ago. Years ago I would have these things if I lived by what mainstream Christian culture says I should be entitled to by my age, by my income, by the desires of my heart. But I’ve chosen to surrender everything to Jesus and to be not 10% about my Father’s business, not 50% about my Father’s business, but 100% about my Father’s business. 

And I don’t reveal these things personally, maybe I will because there’s wisdom in sharing your testimony, like what God wants you to reveal in terms of what you’ve sacrificed, you know? I don’t reveal all these things now, maybe later in God’s timing, but I think if people looked inside, got a peek inside, they’d be like, “What, you’re weird. Get yourself that. Buy yourself that”. They wouldn’t understand. “Spend your time doing this sometimes”. “Why do you do…?” The sacrifice. Christians of today, not just the world, Christians of today wouldn’t understand. “What’s wrong with having that? What’s wrong with doing this? What’s wrong with buying this? What’s wrong? It’s a good thing. It’s not a bad thing. It’s not an impure thing. It’s not a worldly thing”. They wouldn’t understand. 

You can only understand when you step into the new wine and then God gives you revelation of the importance of His work. How His work, His business, the Father’s business is SO much more important than the desires of your heart, that He cares about and He’ll give you them as you delight in Him, later. Later. Not now. 

The world says, “NOW, you should have them. You’ve already done a lot. You already sacrificed a lot. You should have them now, you deserve it. You deserved it years ago”. But we tend to forget that we are not on this earth to just live a happy life with Jesus and have the desires of our hearts fulfilled and our dreams come true. And be married in our twenties and our thirties and have children and a house and a white picket fence and a career of our dreams right out of college. 

In Christian culture of today, it’s honestly like, the Father’s business partial percent and at least 50%, the desires of your heart fulfilled. The good, godly ones. That’s how many Christian’s live because that’s their example, because that’s the culture. And because these things, these monetary things, these possessions, and things like marriage and kids young and everything, they’re good things! You know to have a house, that’s a good thing! There’s nothing wrong with that. To have a nice car, that’s a good thing. To have these dreams, marriage and children at a young age for example, those are good things. So, Christian culture of today, many have a hard time really getting God’s heart of surrender and sacrifice. And that we are not just supposed to just throw away the desires of our heart, but we are supposed to hand them to God completely and say Lord, have your way. I humble myself and I realize that some of these desires, even though they seem godly and good, they may not be your desire for my life. 

Like for me, I wanted to be a Christian pop EDM singer, songwriter so much. I thought that was my calling. That’s not my calling. It was a BIG desire but it wasn’t God’s desire. 

So, there’s some desires that we need to give to God and be humble, and say I surrender, have your way. I recognize some of these desires may not be from you. I humble myself and I surrender them. Take them away if they’re not of you. Give me your desires that I don’t have, that these other desires were taking the space of. Make room Lord, in my heart, for your desires and dreams. Have your way. I surrender! I give you my desires, the desires you’ve given me, beautiful desires like such things as marriage and children and the dream career, and having abundance financially, like good, godly dreams that are pure dreams. I give them all to you Lord. But I truly give them to you, which I know means giving you permission to release them when you want, in your timing. 

If you are sitting around wondering, “why hasn’t this happened yet? Why hasn’t God fulfilled the desire of my heart yet?” You haven’t really truly surrendered it to God. If you’re complaining, you haven’t really surrendered it to God, you’re holding on to it. Give it to Him! And as you surrender everything to Him, you can rest knowing that it just hasn’t happened yet because it’s just simply not God’s timing. Period. Simple. You don’t need to spend time meditating, “Why isn’t it here yet? I’ve sacrificed so much. Can’t it be here yet?” Waste of time. Complaining in your mind, not trusting God. His timing is BEST! In the new wine, it’s so different then the mainstream Christian culture timing of things, let me tell you. I’ll tell you that. I’m a testimony to that. I’ll tell you it is different but His timing is THE BEST! His timing is THE BEST, the VERY BEST! He knows best. He knows why it shouldn’t come now. He knows that when He gives it to you later, at the perfect timing, it will come as the sweetest blessing. It will bring you the most joy and you’ll be able to handle it and not be distracted by the blessing, not start making the blessing your god. All these things He knows that we don’t really understand. We wouldn’t understand until we got the blessing prematurely. We just have to trust Him. Amen? Hallelujah. 

Hebrews 13:16 

But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

God is pleased with your sacrifices. Are you making sacrifices that God is asking you to make? Are you just doing the bare minimum that isn’t really a sacrifice? Are you feeling the sacrifice? You should be feeling the sacrifice, that’s when you know it’s a sacrifice. Are you feeling that discomfort? Then you’re making the sacrifice. If you’re not feeling the discomfort in some area, you’re probably not sacrificing. You’re probably not doing enough. You’re probably not being fully about your Father’s business. 

God is so pleased when we make sacrifices. Sacrifices, not in the religion way of just people doing performance to try to achieve righteousness and making sacrifices of reading the Bible for so many hours and praying so many hours but not being led in the Holy Spirit and just doing it, just to achieve righteousness, ya know? No, those sacrifices God isn’t pleased with. But there are many sacrifices that God will ask you to make in obedience to Him. And those sacrifices are so pleasing to Him. 

Matthew 16:25 

If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.

Sacrifices are so beautiful and precious to us and so beautiful to God because when you make a sacrifice, it’s an action step of surrender. It’s taking action of surrendering more to God. We all have more we can surrender to God. Until we die, there’s going to be more. Every day is a choice of surrender. Every SINGLE day. Amen? 

Whenever I feel the pain, the sting of sacrifice, the pain of waiting because I’ve sacrificed something to God’s timing, I remember, I renew my mind with this verse, and I remember that every time I’m making a sacrifice, God is transforming me more. Every single time. It doesn’t go to waste. You make the action of surrender and you give Him the permission to transform you more and make you more like Him, make you less selfish and more selfless. Every single time. And so sometimes I feel the sting of sacrifice and I humble myself and I say, God wants to transform me more. God wants more. And so I say yes because this how I find true life, is to lose my life, is to lose more of my life. You’re not totally free until you surrender everything to God. Your flesh will have a hold on you. The selfish desires will have a hold on you until you surrender everything to God. Until you continually surrender everything to God. Until you continually make sacrifices to God. Amen? 

To sacrifice is making the choice to deny yourself and do what Jesus is asking you to do. Powerful! You see the beauty of sacrifice? Hallelujah! 

Matthew 10:8 

Freely you have received, freely give.

This is another verse that I always remind myself of, when I feel the sting of sacrifice, when God’s asking me yet again to make more sacrifice of my time, my giftings, a sacrifice of waiting and a sacrifice of finances. 

I have received so much. I have received total, abundant life, so much! All that I have received, there’s no way that I could give back. There’s no way. All that you have received from Jesus, there’s no way that you could give back to God the same measure as what you have received. There’s no way. The salvation for eternity we’re talking. The freedom from the works of the devil in your life. The peace you have in your mind now. The joy you have in your life. The sense of purpose and contentment with Jesus as your Lord, as your best friend and walking with Him, fulfilling your purpose. You can serve God all day, every day, surrender everything and it wouldn’t match up to what God has done for you and He keeps doing that every day. What we give back is just a small percentage. He keeps giving us abundant life, peace, joy, blessings, new blessings, new doors open, increasing us, pouring out His love, protecting us, every single day. 

And so, man, we have to humble ourselves more. You have to humble yourselves more. This is our THANK YOU. Freely we have received, we freely give. This is our thank you to God, our love offering to God. Being about the Fathers business, our contribution to the work of God. And it is not a big enough thank you. We could never give God a big enough thank you. Because it’s so massive what He’s done for us. So, if you ever feel that sting of sacrifice, the uncomfortability of the sacrifice, humble yourself with this verse, with this truth that I’m sharing with you. What God is asking you to give is so small compared to what He’s given you and what He is going to give you tomorrow and what He is going to give you the next day. It is so small compared to the reward that is COMING because of that sacrifice you are giving right now that stings. The REWARD that’s coming! It’s so much bigger! 

Now this is humbling, thank you Lord for this revelation, this is going to humble some people, it’s humbling me right now as I just got this revelation. It’s like God is asking you for $10,000 right now let’s say to give to Him, to give to His work, it’s like, I’m not saying He’s saying this. I’m not saying He’s saying this. Let’s get that straight. I’m giving you an analogy, a metaphor right now. Its like God is asking you to give Him like $10,000 right now, today. And He just says “Give it to me, I am going to reward you for this” And the reward that’s coming years from now is a mansion, a jet, tons of fancy clothes, all your dreams come true. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that that’s what we should be desiring after, but I’m trying to help you to see in a physical way the spiritual reality.

So, the worth of the house, the worth of a jet, the worth of the fancy clothes, and the worth of all your dreams come true is like billions of dollars, right? And you’re complaining for $10,000? Isn’t that humbling? You’re complaining about, you feel the sting of it, you’re like “This is so hard God I’ve already given you so much. Why are you asking this of me? I know you’ll reward me but this is hard. This is a lot.” And God says “The reward I have, and what He’s already given you is the equivalent to all those things monetarily but even more like in the spiritual realm. It’s so much more than that. I’m just sharing this as an example to try to help you to understand. Do you get me? How it doesn’t add up? What God asks from us does not add up from what He has given us and will give us. 

So, it requires FAITH to sacrifice how God is asking you to sacrifice. To give all of yourself. It requires FAITH that God will reward you. That it’s worth it doing it. Not that we do it for a reward — but faith that God is so good and He’s not just asking this for you and not seeing that you did this and not giving you back what you’ve given. And He’s not just going to leave you there, in lack, because of the sacrifice you’ve given. He’s seen it! And He will pour out many blessings upon you, because you’ve given. Blessing upon blessing upon blessing upon blessing, He will reward you! 

So, if we could have a stronger faith, we would be giving wildly all the time, we would be giving wildly of our giftings, of our time, service to God. We would be giving wildly, spreading the good news of our testimony. We would be giving wildly financially to the work of God. If we could have this kind of greater faith. 

You want to come up higher with your faith? So you can be about the Father’s business with JOY? Anybody with me? 

Proverbs 3:9-10 NLT 

Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. 

Proverbs 3:9-10 TPT 

Glorify God with all your wealth, honoring him with your very best, with every increase that comes to you. Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings from an uncontrollable source of inner joy! 

Every dimension of your life. Every dimension of your life. Physically, spiritually. Every dimension of your life, for your family. Every dimension of your life, for your mind. Every dimension of your life, your physical health. Every dimension of your life, your finances. EVERY dimension of your life will be overflowing! WHEN you give God your BEST. Your BEST! When you are ABOUT your Fathers business, not a side hobby that you participate in sometimes. 

So, God is asking for your best today, and tomorrow and next week, and every day of your life from now. He’s asking for your best. He’s asking for more. He’s asking for more sacrifice for the purpose of His Kingdom. Every sacrifice that God has asked me to make has been for a purpose. Part of the purpose was to transform me, to make me more like Him, to make me more humble, more pure, more selfless, more loving of people. But every time there was that sacrifice that led to those things, that sacrifice also led to the advancement of God's Kingdom. Every time. Like the biggest sacrifices that God has asked me to make, the biggest sacrifices have been my giftings, my abilities, my time, to serve Him. And number 2, my finances. Those have been the 2 biggest areas of sacrifice — and dreams, my dreams. 

But I look and I see all the sacrifices that I’ve made through these years — it’ll be, this week by the way, June 18th, is the eight year anniversary of 5F Church. We will celebrate next Sunday! Praise God! Eight years! Eight years! Four years of revival breaking out, but eight years of ministry, every week, eight years! 

And so for these eight years, and even more eight and a half upon receiving the first prophecy over my life, but for these eight years, every sacrifice that God has asked me to make, the sacrifice of my time, the sacrifice of using my gifting and my abilities, and my finances for God's Kingdom, every sacrifice has not gone to waste. Every sacrifice, it is not just been for nothing. It has not just been like Gods asking me to do this just because, just to test me or something. It has led to people being saved and healed and freed! Even to this day, I know like my personal sacrifices, I know because more revival events can happen. And so I want you to really understand how sacrifices that God is asking you to make, is really leading to souls being saved and people being healed and people being freed. 

The sacrifices you are making are so massive. Like you  making a sacrifice of $10,000 and God giving you a huge mansion not just anywhere, but in LA. Do you understand you’re sacrificing what you’re sacrificing but it’s leading to so much more! It’s leading to souls being saved, healed, and delivered, and coming into the Kingdom. It’s so POWERFUL the sacrifice, it’s so worth it! It’s so worth it to deny yourself! To deny the desires of your heart until God’s timing! To deny yourself the rewards that society thinks you deserve now. To deny yourself for now and let God pour out the reward in His timing! 

Let’s prioritize souls saved, healed, and delivered over the godly desires of our hearts being fulfilled! Let’s prioritize that! God wants that to be priority! Because in the Body of Christ it hasn’t been priority. God is asking you to make it. What if every one of you made it your priority, the Kingdom work, the Fathers business, priority over the desires of your hearts being fulfilled. What if? How much more could God do? 

I know right now we can be doing more revival events around the world — when people give more, when there are more finances. We can be doing more! God wants to do more! More! Let’s be busy for God! I’m ready to be busy for God. I’m ready! 

But you have to be busy for God too. You have to be about your Father’s business even more. We got to step it up, revival army! God wants to go faster, supersonic speed! That’s not comfortable! Get out of your comfort zone and run with Jesus, run with this revival! 

So, I challenge you to give your best to God. Every day, to make that intention to give your best, in every area. Your service to God, your contribution to God, your financial contribution to God. Give your best! What if the women that were contributing financially to the ministry of Jesus, WHAT IF they didn’t give their best? Jesus wouldn’t have gone to as many places to minister. 

Let’s all give our best! Let’s all rise up and give our best to God! It is worth it! It is worth it!
