Ambassadors for the Kingdom

This message was shared by Apostle Kathryn Krick, Lead Pastor/Apostle of 5F Church, in Los Angeles on March 1, 2026. 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. 

I’m going to teach you how we are ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, and how to be the best ambassadors we can be for our Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:20, NLT

So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making His appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

The Bible says that we are ambassadors of Christ—we are His representatives. God chooses to not come in a physical way as He did with Jesus–after Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected, God poured out the Holy Spirit upon all of us, and God now chooses to move through us. We are His hands and feet. Once you come to know Jesus, the Holy Spirit lives inside of you, and you learn how to have your own intimate relationship with God.

There are so many lost people in this world who don’t have a relationship with God yet, and how God is introduced to them is through us! When you stop and think about that, it’s powerful, shocking, and a big responsibility.

And this was the case for me, it was through other people that I got to know God: through my parents, friends in my life—and more than ever, I got to know Jesus, His love and His heart, through my spiritual father, Prophet Dr. GeorDavie. And I know this is the case for all of you—that God used people to show you His love, His heart, and His character. Not that we need people all the time in order to know God’s love, but along the way, whether it was your first introduction to God or your spiritual leader revealing more of God’s love, His ways, and His kingdom to you, it happened through people.

So we are ambassadors, and I now want to share something very important for you to understand so that you can be a great ambassador for Christ. 

Luke 8:17, NIV

"For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open."

God’s heart and His love was revealed to me the most through God moving powerfully through vessels like my spiritual father, Prophet Dr. GeorDavie. I was able to hear God more than ever through prophecies and prophetic words along the way. My spiritual ears and eyes were opened by hearing my spiritual father teach, prophesy, and speak God’s love, so I could then hear God individually, on my own, like never before.

The vessel through whom I experienced God’s love through the most was also the most pure person I had ever met; the most like Jesus. They go together: the more we are like Christ, the more Christ can be seen through us. And when you are pure, it can’t be hidden—Jesus will shine through you and it will be seen, no matter how hard the devil tries to put darkness on you by people making up lies or bringing up darkness in your past and trying to throw it on you in the present. The light of Jesus will keep piercing through, no matter what. So the more you are like Jesus, the brighter that light is, and more eyes will see—they can’t miss it, they’re blinded!

The more we are pure and honest before God, the more our light shines, and more people will be brought into the Kingdom. But the other side is true too: you can’t fake it as a Christian, because it is a principle, a law, that nothing can be hidden—the truth will be revealed (Luke 8:17). When you are holding on to impurities, there are parts that you haven’t yet surrendered to God, and it is affecting your light. People see the impurities, and that affects your witness. People aren’t as enticed to listen to your testimony or accept your invitation to come to church. But when you’re honest before God—you have nothing to hide, you are pure, and you’ve been transformed to be like Jesus—people will listen to you. People will see you are different and they will see leadership in you. They will want to be influenced by you because they can see that you have something they don’t, and they want what you have; they can really sense the supernatural love of God that’s not like this world. 

When God has a big calling for your life, He will eventually lift you, and the devil will not be happy about that at all. He will try to shake your foundation and find any holes so that he can try to stop you from rising and even try to bring you down. 

Job 1:7-12, ESV

The Lord sent to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.” And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?” Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for no reason? Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.” And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your hand. Only against him do not stretch out your hand.” 

God didn’t allow Satan to take Job’s life, but God did allow the devil to test Job and take things from him. But notice that God lifted Job with the words that He spoke—similarly to how the Father spoke over Jesus when He was baptized: This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased (Matthew 3:17). God lifted Job by saying to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?”

God was proud of Job! God is proud of you when you are surrendered to Him and walk in obedience to Him. God is proud of His kids; He wants people to see how great His kids are for His glory. God wants to put His kids on a pedestal for His glory, for them to be in a place of leadership, because they are showing a good example that God wants everybody to see and follow.

Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10), so after God lifts Job, Satan accused Job of being fake. God said that Job was blameless and a righteous man, but the devil said, “No, anyone would be the way that he is if you blessed everyone the way that you bless Job. He’s nothing special, he’s not so pure, and he shouldn’t be a leader that people can follow. He would even curse You if You took things away from him, that’s how impure Job’s heart is.” That’s the accuser of the brethren, Satan—that’s what he does to us today! He sends thoughts to people, accusing us, and when people allow themselves to be used by the devil, they speak and falsely accuse us, children of God. 

But God lifted Job at the right time. When it’s time for God to lift you, He shines a spotlight on you: “Everyone look! This is a good example, this is a godly person; follow their example.” This is what God does for churches that are anointed by Him; He lifts and breathes upon things. At 5F Church, one day, God decided to breathe upon a 59-second video that I posted, and all of a sudden there came a following online that just kept increasing! A couple of months after that, God decided to pour out anointing like He hadn’t before. I was praying for a woman who was oppressed, and a demon started manifesting in her, and God delivered her! And the deliverance kept increasing, eyes opened up, and people who needed freedom started traveling from far and wide to receive freedom, glory to God! 

But this happened in God’s timing. God had taken 5F Church through the fire: during four and a half years, the church got smaller and smaller, we went through persecution, false accusations and betrayals.

This is why God takes His time, because He’s going to lift you one day, and that lifting comes with a spotlight on you and the devil starting to accuse you, just like the devil accused Job. But why did God allow the devil to attack and take things from Job? To prove something: that Job really was pure. It was proved as the spotlight came, the pressure came, and now you could see everything—you see Job in this vulnerable state, and he never cursed God! His wife even said, “Curse God already!” but he wouldn’t curse God. And so God used that spotlight—which included the devil shining a spotlight—to prove Himself in Job: “This is truly My servant. Where are your accusers now? I have proven him through and through. Nobody can lie, and nobody can be deceived by the lies anymore, because they’ve been proven false through the fire!” 

So if 5F Church had not gone through four and a half years of that fire, we would not have been prepared for that spotlight. And when pressure came, there were a lot of public false accusations, and it was the most unjust thing I’ve ever gone through by far. When we are going through something unfair, we just want to shout, “This is wrong! This is not true!” We want to defend ourselves and say, “This person is a liar!” But God calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. God calls us to let Him fight our battles for us rather than defend ourselves, and be patient and wait for Him to defend us, bring us victory, and vindicate us—and not go eye for eye. But without the refining fire that makes you more like Jesus—that brings patience in you, builds faith, trust in God, and purity of heart to love your enemies—if you don’t have that, you’re going to go for eye for eye, and you’re going to defend yourself instead of letting God defend you. You will veer away from ministering and focusing on your calling, and instead go on a campaign to defend yourself. Your mission will become to shape how people see you, rather than the ministry of Jesus: leading people to Jesus, building people up, and bringing healing and freedom by God’s power. 

And that’s what happened; when the spotlight came, the devil wanted to test—he wasn’t going to let God just bring that lifting. He came similarly as He did in the times of Job, trying to shake the foundation, trying to test, to see if there were any holes, any impurities.

Luke 8:17, NIV

“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.” 

This is one of the verses in the Bible that brings me so much peace and rest; because it’s not easy to live with injustice and lies being spoken about you or others when you are not called to defend yourself—when you’re called to keep quiet. There can be a temptation to stress, to worry, to get angry or annoyed; that days, weeks, and even years pass, and people are still allowed to speak these lies—and some people believe the lies. But because of this word of God, we can REST because we know with all of our hearts that lies can not prevail, God will make sure the truth is revealed! Maybe not everyone will believe the truth, but when it’s God's timing to reveal the truth—if they don’t believe, it’s because they don’t want to. People have free will. It’s because they are jealous and have bitterness and hatred in their hearts; and when you keep those things in your heart, it keeps you living in the lie, whether you see that it’s a lie or you just don’t want to accept the truth. There will always be people like that out there, but in terms of the general verdict over a person, over us, the truth will be seen, and there are more for us than against us (2 Kings 6:16).  

The devil can’t fool people forever—there is an expiration date on his lies. God knows how to reveal the truth. He is so masterful, and He knows what He’s doing; we don’t have to worry about it. I often wonder, “How is God going to fulfill this prophecy?” I used to wonder the same about the promises we are living in now, especially when the church was getting smaller and smaller every week. But there are more prophecies from my spiritual father, Prophet GeorDavie—I have shared some of them in GOD’S VISION (add teaching)—and I wonder to this day how God will do it. I can’t figure it out, it’s going to be an awesome surprise!

God is the mastermind, not us. God knows how to reveal the truth, and we see how He did just that with Job and all throughout the Bible. There are so many examples of the devil accusing anointed servants of God, and of them living in a place where it feels like the devil is winning. God has prophesied, “You are an anointed servant of God,” but then the devil comes with his accusations and attacks, and their life looks like the opposite of an anointed servant of God. It was like this for Job, Joseph, and David. The truth was not seen in terms of them living out what was prophesied, for a time, but there is an expiration date to the accuser testing, shaking, attacking, and throwing lies. There is an expiration date, and God has His appointed time where He reveals the truth.

Joseph’s brothers threw him in a pit and sold him into slavery because they were jealous that he was chosen by God and had a dream from God about his calling, but Joseph said to his brothers: 

Genesis 50:20, NLT

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people."

That’s our God. The devil intends things for harm, but God is masterful—just like he was in the story of Job—and He uses it: “I can do something with this that’s going to be a big heartbreak to the devil. He’s going to regret that he intended this for harm, because I’m intending it for good!”

Joseph was thrown into the pit, sold to slavery, and then he was a slave, and this happened:

Genesis 39:6-24, NLT

Joseph was a very handsome and well-built young man, and Potiphar’s wife soon began to look at him lustfully. “Come and sleep with me,” she demanded. But Joseph refused. “Look,” he told her, “my master trusts me with everything in his entire household. No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.” She kept putting pressure on Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her, and he kept out of her way as much as possible. One day, however, no one else was around when he went in to do his work. She came and grabbed him by his cloak, demanding, “Come on, sleep with me!” Joseph tore himself away, but he left his cloak in her hand as he ran from the house. When she saw that she was holding his cloak and he had fled, she called out to her servants. Soon all the men came running. “Look!” she said. “My husband has brought this Hebrew slave here to make fools of us! He came into my room to rape me, but I screamed. When he heard me scream, he ran outside and got away, but he left his cloak behind with me.” She kept the cloak with her until her husband came home. Then she told him her story. “That Hebrew slave you’ve brought into our house tried to come in and fool around with me,” she said. “But when I screamed, he ran outside, leaving his cloak with me!” Potiphar was furious when he heard his wife’s story about how Joseph had treated her. So he took Joseph and threw him into the prison where the king’s prisoners were held, and there he remained. But the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him His faithful love. And the Lord made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden. Before long, the warden put Joseph in charge of all the other prisoners and over everything that happened in the prison. The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. 

Here we see the accuser of the brethren working through people: Potiphar’s wife makes up a complete lie and accuses Joseph with it. And God allows the lie to be believed, so much so that Joseph is put in prison! But there was an expiration date on his time in prison, and God knew what He was doing. God intended this for good. And this is just how masterful God is—it’s why we can trust Him. God’s ways are so perfect, and this story is beautiful!

What happens next is that a baker and a cup bearer are thrown in the prison with Joseph, and God gives both of them dreams. God causes them to be so disturbed that Joseph asks, “What’s wrong?” And they say, “We had these dreams but there’s no one to interpret them.” And Joseph then interprets their dreams: one of them would come out of prison, and the other one would be killed by Pharaoh, and that’s exactly what happened. The cup bearer came out of prison and started working with Pharaoh again. Later, Pharaoh had a dream that disturbed him so much, and the cup bearer said, “There is somebody who can interpret dreams, because what he interpreted for me came to pass!” So Pharaoh brought Joseph out of the prison so that he could interpret the dream. 

Do you see how amazing God's way are? God came up with this incredible plan. And Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dream and suggested a solution:

Genesis 41:37-38, NLT

Joseph’s suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his officials. So Pharaoh asked his officials, “Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?”

Do you remember what I said: when you have been put through the fire, you look like Jesus, it’s undeniable, and your light will shine so bright! Pharaoh even says, “This man is so OBVIOUSLY filled with the spirit of God!”

Genesis 41:39-40, NLT

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are. You will be in charge of my court, and all my people will take orders from you. Only I, sitting on my throne, will have a rank higher than yours.”

Look how God revealed the truth! Joseph was in prison because lies were believed about him, but then Pharaoh—who was in a higher position than Potiphar—brought him out of prison. And God moved powerfully through Joseph and proved that He was with Joseph, so that even Pharaoh—who was not a noble servant of God, but a king in the world—could see clearly that the Spirit of God obviously was with Joseph! And we never hear anything about the accusations that Joseph tried to rape that woman. We never hear them again, and we can tell that they were disproved! 

Before King David was anointed as king, Saul was trying to kill him, and he sent armies to go after him, so David was hiding in caves for many years. David was alienated, rejected, misunderstood, and he was controversial.

Think about people in the world who are alienated, rejected, misunderstood and controversial. Many people don’t want to associate with them or stand with them, because they are afraid that they also will be rejected. Does this sound familiar? We as disciples of Jesus who carry His anointing will go through persecution, which looks like being alienated, rejected, misunderstood and being controversial. We will face people looking at us weird and skeptical, at least in their hearts. Especially in this revival that is here now, because people aren’t used to revival or the anointing. People aren’t used to persecution—they need a refresher, they need to do a deep dive Bible study about the times of Jesus, how He went through persecution. They called Him a false prophet, a heretic, using demonic powers to cast out demons, and going against the word of God!

This revival is new, so we as a Joshua generation will face the brunt of that weird eye. We are the ones who step into the promised land, and we are the ones that have to do the hard work that hasn’t been done before. So we have to live with people looking at us funny just as they would have looked at David. People can think: “Well, why are there so many negative words spoken about them? Maybe there’s some truth to it, I don’t know.”

Imagine David: he was by himself, hiding in caves; but it was known that he was anointed. He did so many great things—you could see that God was with him when David defeated Goliath, and he killed more thousands than Saul did (1 Samuel 18:7). That was known about David. But one day the devil came, like he did with Job, and David had to live through a period of false accusations, where people didn’t run to his side, saying, “This is wrong! David is truly anointed by God. Stop it, Saul, we’re all coming against you!” We don’t see that for years, but there was an expiration date on this time where the devil was testing him, on this time of accusations, where people saw David as alienated, rejected, misunderstood, controversial. What happened was that hundreds of thousands defected from Saul to David—they literally chose to leave Saul’s side and come to David’s side and fight with him, because they saw that David was truly anointed by God, and they wanted God’s will to be done; they wanted David to be king. 

1 Chronicles 12:18, NLT

Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the leader of the Thirty, and he said, “We are yours, David! We are on your side, son of Jesse. Peace and prosperity be with you, and success to all who help you, for your God is the one who helps you.” 

David was hiding in caves for eight to ten years; where was this support back then? Nobody was running to his side to see that justice be done; but one day, on the expiration date of the devil’s time of testing and accusing, the expiration date came and God said, “It’s time for Me to open up eyes by the masses, for people to see that I am with David, that he is the anointed king!”

1 Chronicles 12:23-38, NLT

These are the numbers of armed warriors who joined David at Hebron. They were all eager to see David become king instead of Saul, just as the Lord had promised.
From the tribe of Judah, there were 6,800 warriors armed with shields and spears.
From the tribe of Simeon, there were 7,100 brave warriors.
From the tribe of Levi, there were 4,600 warriors. This included Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, who had 3,700 under his command. This also included Zadok, a brave young warrior, with 22 members of his family who were all officers.
From the tribe of Benjamin, Saul’s relatives, there were 3,000 warriors. Most of the men from Benjamin had remained loyal to Saul until this time.
From the tribe of Ephraim, there were 20,800 brave warriors, each highly respected in his own clan.
From the half-tribe of Manasseh west of the Jordan, 18,000 men were designated by name to help David become king.
From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders of the tribe with their relatives. All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take.
From the tribe of Zebulun, there were 50,000 skilled warriors. They were fully armed and prepared for battle and completely loyal to David.
From the tribe of Naphtali, there were 1,000 officers and 37,000 warriors armed with shields and spears.
From the tribe of Dan, there were 28,600 warriors, all prepared for battle.
From the tribe of Asher, there were 40,000 trained warriors, all prepared for battle.
From the east side of the Jordan River—where the tribes of Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh lived—there were 120,000 troops armed with every kind of weapon.
All these men came in battle array to Hebron with the single purpose of making David the king over all Israel. In fact, everyone in Israel agreed that David should be their king.

The truth was revealed and the masses came on God’s side, they stepped into the truth, and that is how the promise of David becoming king was fulfilled! 

These are just a few examples, but do you see God's ways? He refines you to make you like Him, so that when He lifts you and puts a spotlight on you in His perfect timing, you are pure; people can see the truth about you and the lies cannot stand!

This is why God has to take His time refining you. It’s why He had to take His time before revival broke out in 2021 at 5F Church; and it’s why He’s had to take His time since 2021 until now, for the other promises to be fulfilled that I shared in the big vision that God has, with thousands being a part of our church here in Los Angeles. God is building a Gideon’s army, and it has to be pure—it has to look like Him, because God will bring a lifting again. With that comes scrutiny of the devil—a big spotlight comes upon us and then the devil comes and asks, “Where is a weak spot that I can amplify and accuse everybody of?” That’s what the devil is looking for, so get ready. I want you to ask yourself: are you ready? Are you ready to be scrutinized? Are you hiding anything? Because the devil sees.

Luke 22:31, NIV 

"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat."

This is the same question that the devil asked concerning Job. The devil asked to sift all the disciples like wheat, and Jesus said, “But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail.” Meaning: “The devil has asked, and I have granted him that, I have allowed him to sift you as wheat.” Sifting as wheat means seeing if there are any impurities. 

God has called us at 5F Church, this global revival army, to take dominion on this earth, and in the body of Christ! That means we are called to be leaders in this global revival army in the body of Christ!

Let me remind you of the big vision that I shared: Catching the VisionThis big vision that God has for us at 5F Church to influence and lead in the body of Christ is not a promise for only me! There need to be leaders that pave the way. The church today is supposed to look like the Book of Acts! We are following the Bible, the Word of God in the Book of Acts! It’s more common in the body of Christ to not follow the example of the Book of Acts, to not follow the blueprint of the five-fold ministry, and to not accept and embrace God’s power—the ministry of deliverance. It’s rare, so there need to be churches that God anoints to lead the way, to bring transformation, purification and reformation to the body of Christ. And that’s what He has called 5F Church to be: leaders who take dominion! 

This massive promise and calling is not just for me—just as it was not just for Joshua and Caleb to enter the Promised Land, but it was for all of the Israelites. We are the Joshua generation; we are the army of God, and together we will enter the promised land! The body of Christ, with all its parts, is the light of the world, not just me and a couple of leaders here. It’s the whole army of God that shines bright! This is how we lead the way; this is what makes people want to come and join the revival and be a part of this church. You all have to be shining bright! If I’m like Joshua, I will keep wandering in the wilderness with you, until you all are ready. We are entering the promised land together; I’m not going there by myself. 

Understand the way of the devil: the Pharisees were spying on Jesus, scrutinizing every little thing He did, looking for any weak spot, any impurity: ”He healed somebody on the Sabbath! I found something!” They were watching Him closely, going to every ministry He was doing, saying, “He’s eating with sinners!” They didn’t find any sin in Jesus, but they tried to stretch and twist things. But if they had found sin in Jesus, they would have blasted it, and it would have kept many people from coming to Jesus, because you can’t hide the truth.

That’s how it is with us. I think you’re already aware of it if you have seen narratives people have about 5F Church, about me. They are trying every little thing—twisting things, just like the Pharisees did when they said, “He heals on the Sabbath, He goes against the word of God, He eats with sinners, He uses demonic powers to cast out demons!” They tried every little narrative. 

So you better believe, if there is an impurity in the church among leaders, among you, it will be exposed; and that can really affect the witness of our church. If a person would be mistreated by somebody here in the church, that one relationship they had is their impression of the whole church—and they start telling people about it and then they happen to talk to somebody who is a Pharisee… I don’t need to tell you what could happen next, right? That can make so many people be skeptical, when it was just one person. Or maybe that person doesn't tell many people, but they tell their family, and their family doesn’t want to come to the church anymore because of their perception of the church. 

No church is perfect. There can be people with wrong intentions, wolves, in every church, but it’s not the majority. The devil can sometimes send people to a church because he’s so angry and he tries through them, but the devil can’t do anything! But we have open doors here— anybody can come as long as they’re not disturbing the peace and keeping people from receiving. Everybody is welcome; we want everyone to come so they can have an encounter with Jesus! We are called to the lost, to reach the sinners and those in darkness. But God’s grace covers us if there are a small number of people who come with bad intentions and do wrong things. As you have seen before, God has led me in wisdom as a shepherd to take necessary measures to protect the sheep, and God’s grace covers us. But God’s grace can’t cover us when many disciples in the church have open doors; God’s grace only covers you when you’re in His will. 

We are not called to perfection, but if you make a mistake, you need to immediately repent, and then you stay in God’s will—you’re back on track before you even fall out of God’s will, and you stay in His grace! A righteous man falls down seven times and gets up again (Proverbs 24:16). You are not called to perfection, but you are called to do your best to live surrendered to God, and to take your obedience to God and the purity of your life most seriously.

When all disciples are doing your best to live a surrendered, pure life before God, then God’s grace covers everything. We don’t have to worry about the devil finding somebody with wrong intentions and then falsely accusing the church—we don’t have to worry about those lies prevailing, because God reveals the truth. This is a principle: hidden things will be revealed (Luke 8:17). When we are living in purity, God makes sure that’s revealed, but if you’re living in impurity, that’s also revealed. God doesn’t lie for us.

We have a great responsibility to live clean, pure lives before God. You need to understand the church you are a part of. If you are planted in this church, you are called to be a leader! You might not see yourself that way—maybe you’re just looking at me as a leader, but you are a leader, just like Peter and the disciples. Before they even began ministering, the devil was sifting them like wheat. They were ambassadors—representatives of Jesus!
God sees when we are ready, and He then brings the lifting, because God knows that when the spotlight comes, the devil won’t find anything impure.

God is saying right now that He wants you all to understand the responsibility you have: it’s not on me, it’s on all of us, because we are a church; we are an army.

The thing that should motivate you to live purely before God and keep every door shut to the devil is your love for God: that you want to touch His heart and never displease Him.

Let that be in your heart every day. Renew your mind: “I want to please God today. He is my first love, the love of my life, and He comes first. I don’t want to disappoint Him today; I want to please Him.” When you renew your mind with that intention every day, you will receive God’s grace to help you reject the devil in every situation; God’s grace is sufficient! You have the Holy Spirit living in you. You are in a church where God’s anointing is flowing on you; you have all you need! You can live in obedience to God, live purely and cleanly every day. You can do it, but you have to believe it, and you have to make the intention to love God every day. God’s love language is obedience, so you wake up in the morning thinking, “I’m going to love God today. That means I’m going to obey Him. I’m going to stay in His will, keep every door shut, and live purely before Him.”

Your eyes also need to open up to the responsibility you have because when you understand your calling, it’s one of the ways that God’s love is revealed to you even more. To think, “Wow God, you would call me for something like this? You would choose me? You must be more proud of me than I realized, You must accept me and think I’m good enough, more than I realized!”

Living in the revelation that you are chosen and called is a big way that God reveals His love to you. It’s important for you to keep the huge calling that you have fresh in your mind—to be a leader in this global revival, as a warrior of God in His revival army—you have to keep that in the forefront of your mind. This helps you to know God’s love for you more, which helps you to have more of the fear of God, to think, “God has entrusted me with this. I take this very seriously, I must be very intentional to live purely and righteously before God. This is the most serious thing in the world to me.” Live in this fear of God!

Philippians 2:14, NLT

Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.

This is an important verse. The Bible says, You shall know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:16). The way this revival will expand, that this church will grow, and that many more people will come into the Kingdom is by us collectively shining our lights so brightly and living clean and pure lives before God. Then people will not be able to criticize us. Instead, they will be able to see God in us, and see leadership in us, as an example they would want to follow, and they would want to come and join this revival! 

Ephesians 4:1-3, ESV

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.

Paul was speaking this to his disciples, and I share this with you too today—my spiritual children, disciples here at 5F Church—I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with humility, patience, and gentleness, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.

It’s time for your eyes to open up more to see what your calling is; you are not bystanders, you are not here to watch me lead. You are to be a leader with me in your own way, in your own calling. You are called to shine with me! We are called to be a church, not my own ministry, God has not called me to just have some followers online, but He has called me to be a leader of 5F Church, to be like Joshua and be together with my army, my warriors, and for us to do this together. We prove the devil wrong together; we shine for Jesus together! 

This is the way to victory, to growth, and to see millions of souls come into the Kingdom of God that haven’t yet, for them to be set free, encounter God’s love, and be part of this revival army as you are. This is the way: for us to do it together, living worthy of the calling that has been given to us, together.

Say, “I am a leader.”

The Kingdom belongs to the children. A child just said, “I am a leader.” That’s very prophetic, because we need to follow the example of children. Whenever you are going wrong, it’s usually that you need to follow the example of a child. Stop overcomplicating it, simplify it, humble yourself, be teachable, and be pure.

Say, “I am a leader.”

Let that sink in.

Say, “I am called to be a leader. I accept this calling. God, help me to walk in a manner worthy of this calling to which I have been called.”

Amen!
