This message was shared by Apostle Kathryn Krick, Lead Pastor/Apostle of 5F Church, in Los Angeles on May 31, 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 am in awe of what God did at the Ignite Conference! We have truly gone to another level. God’s ways are amazing. This September, It will be ten years since I first received the prophecy that I am called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ, and ever since then I’ve seen God take me, this church, and His move from glory to glory. I’ve seen Him take us from one level to another level to yet another level. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine how there can be more, but then God shocks you, like He shocked us in May and like He shocked us this past weekend. He surprised me! I didn’t plan any of what happened at the last session. Right before the session, I had a vision of me going among the people, and then the Holy Spirit took over. He surprised even me, and I’m so in awe of Him. I thank Him and I give Him all the glory. I’m so excited, beyond any excitement in my life, for what He is going to do next. Because what’s so beautiful is that what He did is that it’s not just for us—it’s for the world! 

So many people were delivered and healed, but there were also a lot of people who came that are a part of our 5F Church family, of our revival army, and who have been here for one to five years, and they’re completely free. And they received boldness, confidence, love for people, and fire, like never before. It was really a modern-day Pentecost, where we were filled to be the light and to burn for Jesus—where nothing can stop us, and where we are truly lions and lionesses for Jesus. We now have full revelation of God’s faithfulness and goodness, of how He triumphs over the devil, and that He’s with us and nothing can stop us. What will the devil do now? What will the devil do now with this anointing that is released upon all of these people? What will the devil do now with this courage, with this boldness, with this passionate burning love for God’s people, that God has put supernaturally in all of these thousands of people’s hearts who have now gone into the world. What will the devil do now? He can’t do anything; he’s defeated! Victory season is here! The devil is defeated!

I have to thank all of you, the 5F Church members, the revival army from all around the world, for your beautiful hearts. It is because of your precious, pure hearts for God that God was able to move so mightily. And as I shared at the conference, so many of the people there have been there year after year, so God could bring a great reward upon you all. He could move to the next level, because you have gone through it. It’s time for reward, for lifting, and for the next level.

I’m in awe of God’s ways. When I first started the church, we decreased in size from about twenty people the first year to about two people, over four years. But most people who left didn’t leave for good reasons. One person made up a lie, and people believed it and left. There were some people who didn’t humble themselves to do what the Bible says, that one side of the story sounds right until you hear the other side of the story (Proverbs 18:17). This is what I experienced. I trusted God when we were going through this, because I could see that God was pruning.

I have been to a lot of churches. I was in a megachurch in LA for a few years, and I had been in a lot of different churches before. I experienced a lot of lukewarmness, of people being superficial and not really having a heart after God. I experienced people coming to church but not really to be after God’s heart and serve God. It was more like getting the Christian fix and meeting friends, meeting future spouses, and feeling popular and trendy and looking good in their outfits. So I knew how it was in a lot of churches and in LA. And my prayer to God was, “Lord, I want people to come to this church because you are here and because they are coming to encounter you.” I wanted people to see that God is moving here, rather than coming for those other things. I prayed that people would come just to encounter God, just because they wanted His will. I prayed that prayer before revival even broke out. And I’ve seen God answer this prayer!

There were 34,000 men in Gideon’s army, but God said,

Judges 7:4

“There are still too many men. Take them down to the water and I will thin them out for you there. If I say, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go, but if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.” 

God wanted to refine the army, so He gave them this test:

Judges 7:5-7

“Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.” Three hundred of them drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink. The Lord said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into their hands. Let all the others go home.”

God gave them a test, and some people didn’t pass the test. That’s what we’ve seen God do in this revival army at 5F Church. He has put people through the fire. He has put people through tests. He has tested their heart, and only the pure have remained.

It’s hard in the moment because you see people leave and it feels grieving, but it’s actually not. It’s actually the goodness of God. Because for us to experience what we’ve experienced this past weekend, it’s only because of the purity of the hearts who were there. That’s the secret. Yes, it matters that the anointing is there, that God is moving through an anointed vessel. But it matters equally that the people have hunger, pure hunger, in their hearts. At the Ignite Conference, there were many people who were delivered, but the big theme and the major thing that God released was anointing, impartation, and the fire of the Holy Spirit to minister to others. God doesn’t just randomly put that on people. There were only 120 people in the upper room, but there were so many more people that Jesus had ministered to up to that point—thousands! But only 120 were invited up there to receive the fire and the anointing to minister to others, to be the foundation of the church. And then many more came—3,000 came—but the foundation had to be pure. The foundation were the ones who received the fire and the anointing to minister and to be the foundation of the church.

For the past three conferences, I’ve been in awe to see the purity of hearts of the people of God from all over the world—so many people from different nations and states who are planted at 5F Church. But this was a new level of awe. I know hundreds of them personally. Maybe I haven’t talked to each and every one of them, but I’ve seen their testimonies over the years. So I can see in the spirit. And so many of the people who were there have had such an increase of growth and purity that has happened among the years. I looked out in the crowd and I saw purity like never before. And that’s why we saw God move like never before. God doesn’t release the anointing randomly, and it is because of the purity of hearts there that God could move so powerfully—in a way that we've never experienced before, and in a way that is shocking the world. 

I already knew this about God, but I’ve grown in revelation and respect for God even more. His beautiful pruning that we have to go through does not happen overnight. It takes years—it will be nine years on June 18, 2026. That’s our nine-year anniversary at Five-Fold Church. It has taken nine years to get to this foundation of such purity and a big global foundation.

God is so good. We need to trust Him in His ways. It takes years, but there are no words—to be among people with such purity, such humility, such selflessness—this is heaven on earth. Because you can see Jesus in people—not just a little bit of Jesus because of selfish ambition and pride in the way. No! I see Jesus in you! And I want to honor the revival army. At the impartation session, I experienced something I’ve never experienced before. When I went to release the impartation, I started crying. It was supernatural—it was God’s love for His people, God’s love for you—that you have said yes to Him, that you have fought the good fight of faith for Him, that you have endured persecution for Him, that you have chosen to fear Him over people. I felt the love of God for you like I’ve never felt it. And I want to thank you. I want to honor you. I love this revival army like never before in my life. I love you so much, on a greater level. I’m so proud of you. I’m so proud of you spreading the good news in the ubers, in the airports, on the streets. I’m so proud of you. I’m so proud of you for shining your light like this. Ever since Ignite, I’m seeing your boldness, your love for people, your passion for this revival, and I’m bursting with pride. I love you, revival army. I’m so proud of you. You are literally changing the world. 

It was not Gideon who brought the victory. It was Gideon’s army—Gideon and his army. It was not Joshua who made the people go to the Promised Land—it was Joshua and the army. When they were going around the walls of Jericho that led to God giving them the Promised Land, it wasn’t Joshua himself going around the walls. It was the army, obeying God, praising God, being undignified. It is this army of God that is changing the world, that is leading to the acceptance of God’s move, that is opening up eyes all over the world. It is the army! You are so powerful, so valuable, so loved, and so precious to God!

I also want to honor my spiritual father, Prophet Dr. GeorDavie, because the anointing has been imparted to me through him. I wouldn’t be here—we wouldn’t be here, and we wouldn’t be experiencing what we have experienced at the Ignite Conference—if it was not for his obedience in my life. God used him, day after day, for almost ten years, and still now, to equip me and to impart to me so that I could minister to you. When I went to the Philippines, I’ll just reveal to you that the devil was angry because he knew the significance in the spiritual realm of Prophet GeorDavie. God is restoring apostles and prophets in this revival right now, in the body of Christ. So the significance and the power of an apostle and prophet ministering together, day after day—that’s the first time we’ve done that. He released impartation of anointing, and the devil knew—he was afraid, and he’s defeated. And I personally was changed. I went to another level since I received more impartation from him that day. Right after the impartation session, I was with him in a green room area, and I humbled myself. I had reverence, and I felt this humbling in my heart that I need to receive more, that I wanted to imitate him more, as he imitates Christ, that I need to be more Christlike. I need more. I felt convicted, and I humbled myself. I submitted myself, and he released more impartation to me. And I’ve been so changed ever since. Ever since then, we have seen a shift, and this was for what God wanted to do. This was for the Ignite Conference. So I honor my spiritual father Prophet Dr. GeorDavie. I thank him for what he has released. I thank him for releasing this precious anointing upon my life so it could come upon you all. Glory to God! 

Today is May 31, 2026, and five years ago, on May 30, 2021, I saw revival break out beyond my wildest dreams. Prophet GeorDavie had prophesied to me in 2016 that I was called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ and to reach the nations. And he prophesied a lot of other things concerning revival and God’s big plans for LA. Then in 2017, he gave the official prophecy that God has heard America's prayers for revival, and He’s answering them now. He’s pouring out apostles and prophets, and this revival is going to break out, first in LA and then across the US and across the whole world. And we’ve seen that happen, hallelujah! But whenI started Five-Fold Church in 2017, for about four years, we got smaller and smaller, but I kept hanging on to the word. I kept believing that we would truly see revival break out. We dwindled to about two people for some Sundays in 2020. We couldn’t have church inside anymore, and we went out in the amphitheatre of the Pan Pacific Park, and God suddenly began to deliver people. It started with one woman on March 21, 2021. He then kept delivering person after person, and it went viral, with tons of people flocking in every week. We grew from 20-something in March to about 30 the next week, to around 40 the next week, and a few weeks later, we suddenly grew to 50 people, then 80 people. And on May 30, 2021, we suddenly grew to 300. Nine months prior, I had been in the amphitheatre, preaching to only one woman in 100-degree weather, and she left in the middle of the message. Now, fast forward nine months, and there were 300 people who didn’t even fit in the amphitheatre—they were overflowing. And that was because of the impartation of anointing that I received. God decided that it was time for that to be activated and released through me, with deliverance. Glory to God! That was four-and-a-half years of waiting. And since 2021, it’s been five years. Look what God has done! 

This moment is so prophetic because this great shift took place in the Philippines, in the picture to the right. That’s my spiritual father, Prophet Dr. GeorDavie. And now, for the very first time since 2021, this is the day we were overflowing outside of this theater onto the sidewalks. And it’s the first time we have not fit in a venue in LA since the amphitheatre five years before. For some reason, I don’t usually wear black and white together. But that day, I wore a black and white outfit, which I believe prophetically represents black and white skin colors and unity in the body of Christ—of Africa, America, and all cultures and all skin colors. And I’m 99.9% sure that I haven’t worn black and white since that day, until that day in the Philippines! It’s prophetic of a new shift and level that God has brought, five years later, in the fifth month of 2026, after waiting five years. We are NEVER going back. We are going glory to glory. We are going higher and higher. We are going to the next level. 

This anointing, this fire you received this time, is going to be undeniable. I say this a lot but I just feel a bursting in my heart to just tell you again: this is how God is taking us to the next level. He has increased the anointing in you, so it’s undeniable. 

When we decreased from twenty to two, most people couldn’t see the anointing in me or that we were in revival. Then suddenly, God increased the anointing to where demons were fleeing from people, and people flocked, like on the day of Pentecost when 3000 suddenly came. And now, He has not only increased the anointing only in me, but in the whole revival army.

This power of God is undeniable. The light of Jesus shining through you is undeniable. I even see prophetically that God is going to be doing things behind the scenes in people’s lives to help them to see Jesus in you. People go through different seasons of life. Do you remember when you were lukewarm and you were fine with that? But then something happened—and you suddenly found that you had to seek God. You found all of a sudden this hunger in your heart out of nowhere, you needed to seek God? I see prophetically that God is moving behind the scenes in so many people's lives—in your family members, friends, strangers, influencers, in people all over the world, both rich and poor. He is moving behind the scenes to make them see the anointing in you, because they will start seeking when they hadn’t been seeking before. 

Jeremiah 29:13 

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

This is what you received at the Ignite Conference—you sought God more and so you found more of Him. This fire you’re experiencing—this joy, this passion for people—this is simply more of God. More of His Spirit has come in you. He has opened up your spiritual eyes more through this. 

The more you seek God, the more you find Him. Finding Him means receiving more of His Spirit. And when you receive more of His Spirit in your life, He opens your eyes more in the spiritual realm and He transforms you to be more like Him. And when you see like Him and think like Him, there’s joy that wasn’t there before. There is great joy. It’s more of Him. That’s what you’ve received. You’ve become more like Him! You have more of His eyes now and more of His mind. That’s what He did at the Ignite Conference. 

And this spiritual eyesight—this mind of Christ that leads to so much joy—is here to stay. 

This is Jesus. This is life with Jesus! This is not what the lukewarm church will give you. But where God’s power is embraced and accepted—where there is no fear of man, where hearts are surrendered, where vessels of God can receive the anointing because they’re surrendered—this anointing, the power of God, will be released upon your life. And that will lead to you being more Christlike, to having more of the Holy Spirit in your life, to being more like Jesus in your mind and in your eyes. 

When my spiritual father, Prophet GeorDavie, was pastoring a church of Masai people, there were around 200 of them for around 5 years. Then one day, Jesus appeared to him right before he was going to do a conference. Jesus was holding a bunch of keys that had different religious denominations on them—some he had heard of, and some he had never heard of before. And Jesus shook them and said, “I’m giving you my keys to set my people free.” And He had this huge smile. Prophet GeorDavie described it as, “There was nothing wrong in the world.” The smile was the most immense love you could imagine. It was the definition of peace and joy—God’s peace and joy. And then He vanished.

Prophet GeorDavie went to minister that day, and suddenly all these miracles began to take place. The anointing came upon him so mightily for the first time, and his church grew. I think it grew to one thousand people in one year, after those five years of ministering faithfully to two hundred people. 

So many people are looking for things to give them joy: a house, a car to give them joy, to be married and have children. This woman just testified she had all those things, but that joy—even of having children—did not compare to what she received at the Ignite Conference. 

This is life with Jesus, when you seek Him with all of your heart. When you lay down pride, when you surrender everything, when you stop fearing man, when you testify with all of your heart and are obedient to Him, not holding anything back—this is what you will receive. You will receive greater joy. This joy you have on a mundane, normal day is greater than the day someone has a child, even when they're a Christian but they haven’t encountered the anointing. That’s what she testified! 

There is nothing in the world that people want more than peace and joy. And now, what God has released to all of you is a greater joy than people have when they achieve their biggest dreams. And the best part is that when you are diligent to cultivate and protect this joy, people will see it in you and desire it, that's how they will find Jesus, through your light—through the light of the world shining through you!

2 Samuel 6:16

As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David…

This was the moment of the promise being fulfilled, of David walking into his promised land, as he brought in the ark of the covenant. Finally, Saul wasn’t chasing him anymore and he was walking in his position as king and bringing the presence of God, the ark of the covenant, into the city. 

2 Samuel 6:16

Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart. 

2 Samuel 6:20-23

When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!” David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.” And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.

Isaiah 12:4

And in that day you will say,
“Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name [in prayer].
Make His deeds known among the peoples [of the earth];
Proclaim [to them] that His name is exalted!”

This is how we give thanks to God. This is how we touch His heart. 

David was full of the joy of the Lord. He was full of praise. He was celebrating God. And it was wild; it was uncontainable. It was the kind of joy that’s not like this world. And then Michal came with jealousy and pride in her heart, letting the enemy use her. But what does David do? He says, “I don’t care what you have to say. I will celebrate my Lord, and I will become even more undignified than this.” 

I want to encourage you to see that this joy is the most precious thing in the world. You have received more of God. Don’t let the carnal nature creep back in. You have become more spiritual, that's why you’re experiencing this joy, this boldness, and this passion. You are now living more heaven on earth. Never lose that. Protect that. The Bible says, Guard your heart for waters of living water flow from this heart (Proverbs 4:23). You’ve received living water in your heart, and that’s why you feel it bubbling up inside of you and wanting to come out. Protect that. You have to guard your heart. The enemy is angry, but we have the victory! This is victory season. This isn’t training camp, where we’re thinking, “When will the Olympics come?” We are in the Olympic race now. We can taste the finish line of entering the promised land. 

The devil is so angry, but now is the time that we laugh at the devil if he tries anything. It’s not the time we wonder, “Oh no. What’s going to happen?” No, we laugh at him because we’ve grown to be more spiritual. Those days are in the past. We have revelation now of how all-powerful and triumphant our God is. We are not wondering, “I wonder how many more years we will be in the wilderness?” We know we are walking around the walls of Jericho. We haven’t seen them totally come down yet, but we know we are walking around the walls of Jericho. 

When people watch a football game, when the quarterback throws the football in the air and the receiver is running towards the end zone, there are some people who can’t watch and hide their face in their hands. And there are other people who jump up and cheer, with confident hope that the ball is going to land in the hands of the receiver. Or when people watch a race and the one they're cheering for is ahead by only by a little bit, some people are nervous and think, “Will the other runner overtake them?” But other people are cheering, “Yes! Yes! Yes! You’ve got this!” We need to be the people who are confident and full of hope, not wondering or waiting for the moment of victory, but who know that we are already walking in victory. There is nothing the devil can do to stop these promises from being fulfilled. 

Last Sunday, there were various obstacles that you don’t know about for church to happen. . For those in leadership it could have been a time to worry, or it could have been a time to say, "Nothing is stopping people from receiving from God. God’s got this.” So things may come up, but it’s just something we have to go through, and we don’t let it take our joy. And the devil is quickly and easily defeated. 

Psalm 37:10-13

A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity. The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.

The Lord laughs at the wicked. The Lord laughs at the devil. Now is the season in which we have so much confidence in our Lord, in who we are in Christ, in these promises God has made us, and in this victory season we are in. We laugh at the devil. Oh, he’s mad, but he’d better be mad. “You're defeated, devil. You’re not taking my joy. Hallelujah!” Keep rejoicing, people of God. Keep your joy. Protect your joy. Let it increase. Let the joy increase every day as you keep serving God, as you keep sharing your testimony. The joy will keep increasing. The fire will keep increasing. Hallelujah!
