This message was shared by Apostle Kathryn Krick Lead Pastor/ Apostle of 5F Church in Los Angeles, CA on January 6, 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.  

When you are praying for things, requests for God that are desires of your heart, it is important that you rest and you let God do it in His timing. You don’t be stubborn. ”I want this and I want this NOW!“ Then you keep on praying: ”Lord, open the doors NOW!“ You really need to surrender to God‘s timing. That is what He wants. And we can’t change it, we can’t manipulate it.

So this is the wise way to pray: to make that request and know that it has been put in a file and it is now starting to be worked on in the spiritual realm and it is going to be what you are asking and more. Because God does exceedingly abundantly beyond what we could dare ask, think, dream or imagine.

And God‘s timing is best! So it will happen but it is going to happen in God’s timing, not yours. In God‘s timing! But that is going to be the best timing. 

So often when there is requests that you have like this and it is not happening, many times people think they need to add more things, add on fasting… ”I guess God didn’t hear me, He probably didn’t hear me, maybe I need to do more things to get His attention…“ - You don’t need to get His attention! He heard the prayer request! It is already being worked on. Rest! It is just about God‘s timing now.

It pleases God if we can live in this revelation, instead of wondering: ”Doesn’t God see all that I‘m doing for Him? Doesn’t He think I deserve a nicer place to live? A spouse?“ You know, we can be thinking like this and we can be saying: ”Lord, am I not doing enough??“ 

We are wasting time and being like a baby. Meanwhile it has been months or even years maybe that the kingdom government has been working on this prayer request. And the door is going to open. It may be opening up soon. But meanwhile we are being silly and not pleasing to God. ”I don’t know if He heard me…“

You know, God wants to reward you. He is a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently and serve Him.

First of all, all that I just taught, I want you to know, this is not for every believer. This is for believers who are surrendered, obedient, serving God.

God wants you to have this faith: ”Because I‘m serving God, because I‘m obedient, because I‘m surrendered, He will reward me. He wants to reward me. He loves me so much.“ This is a principle: You take care of God‘s business and He takes care of yours. He will take care! He wants you to live in this faith. If you are seeing all these other people that are living what looks like a blessed life, maybe in the area of finances or something and you see all those people aren’t serving God. 

You think it’s hard for God to bless you the way they have these things? God makes it to rain on the just and the unjust.

You need to have this confidence of who you are in Christ! And how much God wants to reward you and bless you. It is just about His timing. Yes, it is taking longer, but God has abundantly more than you are even wanting coming. Just wait a little bit! Because He is doing something in this waiting. Oh, He is building something precious in your heart. He is growing your patience and your trust in Him. And your humility. You know, that you are choosing to obey Him without complaining… You don’t have a lot of things that you want yet and you are tirelessly serving Him, but you are humble. You are like: “I don’t need anything BUT JESUS. I am not entitled to anything.” You choose to believe this. You choose to only speak words like this rather than complaining. He is building humility in you. And He is making it so when He blesses you, you value it so much. The longer the wait, the more you are going to value it. And so God is even wanting you to be blessed daily more by this thing rather than being entitled to it and not appreciating what you have. He is so good. Just trust Him.
