This message was shared by Apostle Kathryn Krick Lead Pastor/ Apostle of 5F Church in Los Angeles, CA on June 22. 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.  

I am titling this message “Prepared for Harvest”, because it is time that you get ready to be prepared in a higher level for the harvest that God is bringing. This is the year of acceptance, remember! And we are not even halfway through yet. There is so much more that God has in store to bring in a greater harvest than we have ever seen. This year! God wants you to know, as we pass these eight years and we enter into this new phase of revival, He has great works ahead for you to do, great responsibilities ahead. You have to be ready. You have to be equipped for this work that is ahead. God wants you to have a readiness in your heart, a readiness to learn more, to be discipled more, a readiness to do more for God.

It says in Matthew 9:36

When He saw the vast crowds of people, Jesus’ heart was deeply moved with compassion, because they seemed weary and helpless, like wandering sheep without a shepherd. He turned to His disciples and said, “The harvest is huge and ripe! But there are not enough harvesters to bring it all in.”

The bigger the revival gets, the more mature disciples are needed; that will turn into leaders, that will have great works to do. In this new phase of revival that is coming it is requiring more leaders. It is requiring more mature disciples to be ready; to no longer be bystanders and sit down, but to be active and do the works that God needs you to do. To serve in greater levels and to serve with excellence and to serve in a way that represents Christ well. 

Jesus is seeing the vast crowds of people in this Scripture. He is moved with compassion. They seemed weary and helpless like wandering sheep without a shepherd. In this year of acceptance God has been preparing hearts. He has been preparing hearts to receive Him. This harvest is ripe because of what God has been doing up to this point; because of how He has been pursuing people for years, how He has been preparing their hearts; because of how He has been revealing Himself, revealing that this move is really Him. Time is the greatest test. You can’t argue with things standing through time. 

There is a Scripture that speaks of a pharisee, they are thinking of what to do with disciples of Jesus. What do we do with them? Do we keep them in prison? Do we let them go? What should we do? And this pharisee has some wisdom because he has dealt with situations before of people who had a lot of followers and maybe they were concerned that this move that was happening would make them come against government or make them come against their leadership. They would have these kinds of concerns. So this pharisee had this wisdom and he says, “There was somebody that rose up before, but nothing became of him and the followers just scattered. Or one guy passed away, so the followers scattered. It didn’t amount to anything. It wasn’t something we needed to be concerned with and try to stop, because it phased out on its own, because God wasn’t with that move.” So he says, “For these disciples of Jesus, it is better to leave them alone. Because if God is not with them, then it will just fizzle out. It will just fade. But if it is from God, nothing you do can stop it and you may find yourself fighting against God.” This was wisdom actually. This is how things work. It is just truly how things work. And as we pass eight years now, this is a form of God proving Himself and opening up spiritual eyes. As God has revealed the fruits, year by year by year; as there has been great growth, year by year by year in this revival, in this move of God. So even with time passing it is a way that God is opening up eyes and preparing hearts to finally step into the revival and receive Him, rather than just watch. People have been watching and waiting for time to pass and using this wisdom of the pharisee, “Let’s just see. It will fade away if God is not in it. But if God is in it, it will keep growing and nothing can stop it.”

So this is part of the acceptable year of the Lord. Time has really passed and God has really proven Himself in His revival. We are to expect a great harvest because those who have been on the fence, this year it is going to be a time where they finally dive into the revival, they catch the wave of revival. They no longer stand and watch, because now they are convinced. Now they know it is really true, it is really of God. Hallelujah.

God sees these many people out there, this big harvest out there. He sees that these people are ready to dive in but He sees that there are more laborers that are needed. 

We have to look spiritually, we have to go with the seasons, we have to go with the prophetic word, the acceptable year of God. So even if it looks like things aren’t changing that much around you, you have to go by the prophetic word, not by circumstances. 

We have to be expectant that any day now it is going to be a suddenly moment!!

There will be a suddenly moment any day. This is me speaking from the past, from past experience of the church getting smaller and smaller with every year. From 20 people the first year in 2017, down to two people in 2020; dwindling down with every year. And then in one suddenly moment God breathed upon one little TikTok video, 59 seconds, and a suddenly moment happened, everything changed, revival broke out from there. God did another suddenly moment, sending one person to our church service of 20 something people and that person got delivered. That was the first demon cast out at 5F Church and then it was another suddenly moment, walls of Jericho coming down, where we grew to 300 in just one month, from 20 something people to 300 and it became a global revival that day that just kept growing. 

God is going to keep on doing suddenly moments that will shock us. We have to be ready, we have to be prepared, we have to go by the prophetic word, the season of the prophetic word; not by our feelings, not by the circumstances we see now. We need to be ready for that suddenly moment.

What God is speaking today is, He is saying to you all, “You need to prepare yourselves and have a readiness for this new phase of revival. You need to prepare yourselves to be equipped more; to be discipled at a greater level, so that you can be ready for this work that is ahead.” Because many are called and few are chosen and you are the chosen. You, who have fully stepped into the revival; you are disciples, you are the chosen ones, you are the ones that will be leaders, you are the ones that God will be able to entrust with anointing and with great responsibilities. God is wanting you to take this seriously, to see the seriousness of your calling.

Unless you see yourself rightly, unless you grab this prophetic word and take it to heart, God can’t entrust leadership to you. He can’t entrust more to you. I went from being a pastor, a shepherd of two people to thousands overnight. I mean it was four years of being a pastor of 20 people to 15 to ten to five to two, but then all of a sudden a suddenly moment happened, and it was uncountable. I don’t know the number because it wasn’t just the 300 in the physical church, but it was online. I had to be prepared in my heart. I had to day by day be a disciple, be equipped, be expectant, take this prophecy seriously and this calling from God seriously; instead of thinking, “Oh, I don’t know if it will really happen” or, “At this rate it will be many years from now, probably, so I can just sit back and relax.” I needed to have this readiness in my heart and know who I really was in Christ. Know, really, what I was called to. The great calling that I was called to. Even though my circumstances didn’t look anything close to that great calling that I was called to. I had to know where I was going and take it seriously. The process. Be obedient to go with the process. And allow God to transform me each day by continually surrendering, continually being obedient, continually humbling myself; because through that is where that transformation comes to be more Christlike. This is what God is calling you to right now. We are entering a new phase of revival. It is a new phase of being serious disciples and being equipped for the greater works ahead.

You need to see yourself as a disciple, not as a church goer, not as a member of a congregation, not as just a Christian alone, but as a disciple. A disciple is one who learns. A student. That is the meaning of a disciple. A student. You need to see yourself as a student. That is the only way that you will be able to learn. That is the only way that you will be able to be equipped and transformed. The disciples were with Jesus, being trained, being equipped constantly for three years. They were full-time students. And then all the sudden after three years, their roles shifted dramatically. Good thing they were serious about being disciples. Good thing they did what Jesus said when He said, “If you want to be my disciple, you need to count the cost. You can not ever be my disciple unless you pick up your cross and leave everything to follow me”, He says in His word. Good thing the disciples followed that word, left everything, picked up their cross and became serious about being students; because that is how God could then entrust them three years later with the anointing, with leadership, with being five-fold ministers, to be representatives of Him. It is because they became true disciples, so they could be equipped for this great calling.

There’s things ahead that will shock you, that will amaze you. The plans that God has for your life. The responsibilities He will entrust to you. 

Many of you, you will be like, “What!? God is entrusting me to this!? God trusts me? 

What!? I am going to do THIS!?? I never could imagine doing THIS for God!? 

WHAT!? Miracles are happening through me? God is calling me to cast demons out of people and heal the sick? God is calling me to preach to people??”

This is going to happen for many of you; where you will be like, “WHAT!?”

God needs more leaders. Just like the disciples, He needed them to go out into the world and make disciples of nations. As this revival grows, more leaders must rise up! So you need to see yourself as a disciple, so God can actually entrust you with what He has planned to entrust you with, so you can actually fulfill your purpose on this earth. It is serious-business-time!!

Because this prophetic word is that you all should prepare yourselves to be discipled in a greater level for what is to come, I want to teach you some keys on how to be a good disciple. What that looks like.

1 Peter 5:6 

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, this is the Amplified Version,

[set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time.

Other translations say, “Humble yourself, so that God may lift you in the right timing”, in His timing, in His appointed time. God wants to lift you like He lifted the disciples to a place of leadership, to the place where they were carrying anointing, to the place that they were entrusted to represent Jesus to others. He wants to entrust you with these greater responsibilities. It is going to be a lifting that happens in this place, where you are really fulfilling your purpose in a greater level than currently. This is the place where you are lifted. 

Just by you being a disciple you have begun to fulfill your purpose. But there is a place where you’ll be doing so much for the kingdom, you will be so effective in the kingdom. You are planting seeds now; but the way you are planting seeds is multiplied by so much, when you get to this place when God lifts you of doing what you are called to do on this earth. 

So for one you don’t need to wonder, “What is my purpose?” You are already fulfilling your purpose. And God is already using you powerfully when you surrender everything to Jesus; when you become planted at a church where God has called you to be planted at. And you receive this equipping just like those disciples before they were sent out and anointed to be apostles, they were fulfilling their purpose by following Jesus and being disciples and being equipped. That was step one to fulfilling their purpose. That is how it works. You can know you are fulfilling your purpose now but there’s greater works ahead. There’s much greater works ahead where God will use you in much greater ways; being so effective to bring victory for God’s kingdom and destroying the works of the devil.

You have to humble yourself under God’s mighty hand. You need to humble yourself and trust that God’s hand will take care of everything. You need to humble yourself and give God control, give His hand control. Take your hands off of the reins and let God have His way.

John 18:36

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my kingdom is not of this world.” 

Part of humbling yourself and setting aside self-righteous pride, is humbling yourself to see that God’s kingdom ways are different than the world’s ways. So different! And in the new wine it is SO DIFFERENT than what many have been taught in the church with the old wine and not the new wine. So even though you have been a Christian for a long time, it doesn’t mean you are a professional in knowing and understanding God’s ways, God’s principles. Many in the body of Christ today are babies in the new wine. The new wine by and large has been missing. If you don’t know what the new wine is, I’ll summarize it this way, it is everything we see in revival that has been lost. Because religion had taken over, bringing the old wine way of the pharisees. We can’t mix old wine and new wine. We need to step fully into the Jesus way, new wine way; which is what we see in the book of Acts, which is how ministry looked like in the book of Acts, which requires being Childlike so that God can open up your spiritual eyes and you may learn the mysteries of the kingdom. As Jesus says, “I thank you Lord for hiding THESE THINGS”, meaning the revelation of the kingdom of God, the revelation of the authority of Christ, the mysteries of the kingdom. He says, “I praise you for hiding these things from those who are wise and proud and for revealing it ONLY to the humble and childlike.” So that is the new wine. He is talking about the new wine. There’s a lot of Christians that are not humble. They have been a Christian for a long time, but they don’t know God’s ways at all. They don’t know these things that Jesus is referring to. Only the humble and childlike. So by and large most believers in the body of Christ today are babies in the new wine. Most believers, most of you, have a lot to learn about God’s true kingdom ways.

Jesus is saying, “My kingdom is not of this world. For if it were, my followers would try to fight those coming against me. But they are not. My kingdom is different. It is not of this world.”

One of the ways that you need to humble yourself and stop being self-righteous, is in the area of thinking you know what is best, thinking you know God’s ways. Maybe you are successful in the world, maybe you have great gifts in the world, that you have used in the world. Maybe you have money, maybe things have really worked out for you. Because of this you think that you can translate it to the kingdom of God. You think that you know how to do things in God’s kingdom. But God’s kingdom is not of this world. So it doesn’t matter how much success you have, how much money you have, how great your gifting is. That has nothing to do with your knowledge in the spiritual realm, your knowledge of God’s kingdom ways. All of that has nothing to do with bringing success in God’s kingdom. Your earthly success, you cannot just translate that to God’s kingdom success. You bring your giftings and you let God breathe upon them and anoint them, but the way you use your giftings to bring about earthly success is not the same way you use your giftings to bring about kingdom of God success. 

As I was meditating on this, God was revealing this to me, this is me sharing with you what I mean. If you want to have success in the world, like these are the general principles: 

You work hard. And you work hard over time. You be consistent. You keep on showing up, working hard and you have a gifting. So, gifting and hard work with the gifting, and not just one day or one week of working hard and using that gifting, but overtime, as time passes, you’re going to be guaranteed success in the world. It doesn’t mean that it’s something God wants for your life. It doesn’t mean that that’s blessed, just because you do those things. I’m just saying like the worldly principles, if you actually have a gifting and you do these things, hard work, persistence of hard work, you’ll find success, some kind of success. You’ll find things working out. You’ll find financial success. You’ll find you’ll accomplish your goals and dreams. 

This is what I mean. You can have these principles and you can try to apply them to God’s kingdom or think you know best and it can keep you from really learning about God’s ways, His kingdom ways which leads to true kingdom of God success. 

God’s way of having kingdom of God success, meaning destroying the works of the devil and truly advancing God’s kingdom, this is the recipe, this is the principle: 

Hard work. Serving God. Working hard, working with excellence in whatever way, however way God is calling you to serve. Overtime, not just one day, not just one week, but keep on showing up, keep on being obedient, and using the giftings God’s given you BUT allowing Him to anoint your giftings by surrendering everything, surrendering your whole life so God can entrust you with anointing. So, now your gifts will have anointing. So, now when you use your gifts, in the world's way people were touched, their emotions perhaps were touched, they might’ve been blessed but no transformation came. But now, the anointing on your giftings is going to bring transformation in people’s lives. The power of God is going to move through you and touch people, bringing healing, freedom, eyes open up to God’s love and power and be they’ll be transformed. Hallelujah! So, even mundane tasks with the anointing breathed upon your mundane gifts, your technical gifts, there will be anointing on that work that you do that will lead people to be encountering God’s power.

So, using the giftings God's given you, and some these are actually using new giftings, like for me, I never knew I had a preaching gift, but I surrendered everything to God and allowed Him to

unlock the gift. And as I used that gift and didn’t leave it dormant, I allowed Him to continue to breathe upon it and make it to grow and make it be a strength. Amen? 

But all these things, and this is one of the most important parts, PLUS GOD’S TIMING. Waiting on Him and allowing His hand to be in control. 

In the worlds way, you do this, plus this, plus this, equals this. But in God’s way, you do this, plus this, plus this, but God’s timing is that you recieve the blessing of it later. 

And so, if you won’t humble yourself you can be frustrated because in the world's way, this plus this, plus this adds up, equals success. But in God’s way, you’re not seeing results. You’re not seeing the reward you think you should be getting because it’s not God’s timing yet. This is a big way that God humbles us and refines us is by making us wait. By serving Him, and sacrificing for Him, and doing so much for Him and not seeing an immediate reward. It humbles you. It humbles you so you can be so focused on doing everything for God and not for yourself. So you can be so focused on, I’m doing this for you Jesus and only you and I don’t care what I get out of it, rather than this double motive of well, I’ll get success when I do these things. Amen? Hallelujah. 

So, God is so perfect with His ways of making us wait, most of the time. The Bible says, His ways are not our ways. His thoughts are not our ways, they’re higher. His timing is not ours, pretty much ever. It’s pretty much never our timing, meaning, when we want it to be, we think it should be, when we feel like we deserve it, the promise, the blessing- it’s usually later. But it’s perfect, His timing is perfect and the blessings become so much sweeter because it’s God’s timing. Because we’ve waited for it, it carries more value. Hallelujah! Because we’re prepared. We’re prepared to steward this great blessing, rather than the great blessing crushing us when it comes. 

So, many times, people may have the temptation to be self righteous in the area of success, in the area of giftings. Many times people may think they know best, but really you have to be a disciple and let God teach you God’s ways, how they are different from the world's ways. Many times when you have a gifting and you’re not seeing anything happen, you’re not seeing a success happen with the gifting. You have the gifting, you’re not seeing anything happen, so many times there can be a temptation to try to take things in your own hands and try to make things happen, when actually it’s just not God's timing. So, I’m speaking of this temptation so you can be aware of this temptation of self righteousness and how you can know to be a better disciple, to humble yourself to know God’s ways are different and that we should not try to make things happen on our own. 

It’s says in Psalms 37:7 

“Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.”

I’m going to continue reading this, verse eight now in the Passion Translation. Listen to this, this is a really powerful passage. 

Stay away from anger and revenge. Keep envy far from you, for it only leads you into lies. For one day the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will inherit the land. Just a little while longer and the ungodly will vanish; you will look for them in vain. But the humble of heart will inherit every promise and enjoy abundant peace. Let the wicked keep plotting against the godly.

Let them, it says. That means don’t take it into your own hands. It means, don’t fight for justice but let God, the one who cares about justice more than anybody, let Him bring justice in HIS TIMING. TRUST HIM. 

Powerful. 

Apostle Kathryn repeats this part of the scripture: 

Just a little while longer and the ungodly will vanish; you will look for them in vain. But the humble of heart will inherit every promise and enjoy abundant peace. Let the wicked keep plotting against the godly with all their sneers and arrogant jeers.

God doesn’t lose any sleep over them. And He knows their day is coming. 

Now, as we are in the new covenant, we love our enemies, we pray for our enemies, and we want present day Saul’s to transform into Paul’s. So, we don’t want them to vanish, we don’t want them to die, nothing like that but there is a revelation to be had in this, where what it’s saying is, God will silence the enemies. God will not let their evil works prevail. There will come a time where they won’t be allowed to do that anymore. There will come a time where they will reap what they’ve sowed. We don’t want that, we want them instead to come to Jesus and transform and all their sins be wiped away, but you actually have to come to Jesus to do that, not fight Jesus, for your sins to be wiped away, for the reaping to be wiped away from the evil sowing that you did. You have to actually COME to Jesus, not FIGHT Jesus, fight His works, fight His servants. Amen? 

So, we desire for enemies, for our enemies to not reap anything, to come to Jesus, to transform to be powerful vessels of God like Paul. But what we can be sure of, that’s up to them if they want to repent and turn to Jesus or not, but what we can be sure of is that God won’t allow them to keep doing what they’re doing. Just like He wouldn’t allow Saul to keep chasing David forever. There came a time when God says no more, and He acted! David waited patiently for God to act and He acted with His mighty hand and He brought David to the place of being anointed king, which was his calling and the promise was fulfilled. God allowed the brothers of Joseph to throw him in a pit to die, then sell him to slavery. He allowed the wicked to do their evil plots, plans, and schemes. He allowed it for a time. He gave them mercy so that they could repent and all the while, God used what the devil meant for harm FOR GOOD, through a refining fire preparing Joseph for his calling, refining him, building his faith. Hallelujah! 

But there came a time when these evil works against Joseph couldn’t go on any longer. The brothers couldn’t do anything more to him. The people in Egypt couldn’t keep him in prison anymore. There came a time when He ACTED.

The scripture here said, the first verse I said, verse seven, wait patiently on the Lord. Wait for Him to act. There was a time God ACTED to bring Joseph into the place of his position, which was the second highest in the land and He fulfilled the promise He promised him. Amen? 

So often, if we are in the place of David- by the way, David waited years for this promise. Joseph waited years for this promise. So they were encountering a lot of injustice towards them. So, we, in the world's way, if we were in their shoes, we can tend to think: years this is happening, this isn’t right, I need to take getting justice into my own hands. Or I need to try something different because this is just not fair, this is just not right, this is just now working. I’m not getting closer to the promise land. Actually you are, in the spiritual realm. You’re being refined. God is setting you up to be lifted like He set up Joseph to be in Egypt through the enemy using the brothers to sell him as a slave. It was Egypt where he was lifted to fulfill his promise. 

So, what you are going through now, that’s the catalyst for God to fulfill the promise. The attacks on your life, the spiritual warfare that God allows, it’s a catalyst to bring about the promise in your life. Hallelujah. 

But, many times, there can be that temptation to take things into your own hands and do things the world's way, rather than waiting on God because it doesn’t add up, it doesn’t make sense. It’s not adding up in the world's way recipe that I just shared: there should be this success by now. 

You can have a temptation to also have the self righteousness of sacrifice. I’ve sacrificed so much for God. I deserve this by now. There should be success by now. We should be seeing these promises by now. There can be that temptation to have this self righteousness of thinking you know best, of thinking you’ve done so much for God, you deserve this. Then, the temptation can come to take things into your own hands, rather than waiting on God. 

So to be a true disciple is to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, under His hand. Recognize that His timing is way different than yours. Look at all the stories in the Bible. 

Don’t take things into your own hands like Sarah. Abraham and Sarah, they were promised a child. And Sarah was about 65 when she was given this promise. She waited for about ten years or so and the promise wasn’t fulfilled yet. So she decided to take things in her own hands. She told Abraham, “Go, sleep with this woman, so that you can have a son.” She gave up on God’s promise, because so much time had passed and it wasn’t adding up. She was forgetting about the mighty hand of God, that God would act and it would be in a supernatural way. Yes, she was really old and no one has ever given birth at that age, but that is the mighty hand of God that we are called to humble ourselves under and wait on Him to act. God did end up fulfilling that promise but it was just way later than she thought. It was way later than what logic thought should happen. She is probably thinking, “Ten years, I have already waited a long time! Time is up!!” BUT NO!!!!! It was at 90 when she gave birth to their son Isaac. She was 90 years old. So it was then 15 years later than when she took it into her own hands. 

As I meditate on God’s ways, as I have humbled myself to learn God’s ways, how different they are from my ways, how different they are from the world’s ways, it has given me such rest and peace when attacks come. Because I have seen every single attack of the devil, every single persecution, every way the enemy uses people to try to stop the work of God, to try to stop 5F Church, to try to stop me - all of them have failed! Every single one. God has brought victory every single time! He simply has done what He said He would do. He simply has fulfilled the promises in His word. Wait patiently on the Lord! Wait for Him to act! He will act in His perfect timing! Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and in His timing He will lift you.

God has taught me, I never have to worry again about pharisees, about whatever video anybody wants to make. I don’t have to worry! Because I have God acting on my behalf. I have His hand upon my life. And the bible says, “Don’t worry about the wicked schemes.” Don’t worry about what the wicked are doing.

Don’t worry about evil people who prosper.

Don’t worry about evil people who are allowed to keep on doing the evil with no repercussions. Saul wasn’t shot down immediately as he was killing Christians. Joseph’s brothers weren’t killed immediately, when they tried to kill their brother. Saul wasn’t killed immediately, when He was trying to kill David. The ones who crucified Jesus, They weren’t killed down right away when they did it. So it can look like the wicked are prospering. 

Stop it! Don’t fret! Don’t think about what they are doing. Don’t envy that life. They will reap. We don’t want them to reap, but those wicked acts cannot keep going. Yes, it is not comfortable to feel it at the time, but God will be faithful! He will be faithful to bring the victory! And to stop those wicked plans from prevailing! Hallelujah!

You need to renew your mind; it is not the evil people. It’s not the people, the Pharisees, who have the power to slow down the promise from being fulfilled. It is simply God’s timing! 

When the promise “delays”, it can feel like it is your present day brothers throwing you in a pit.

How can they do this? … But they actually don’t have the power to slow down the promise from being fulfilled. They never have the power. Any Pharisee, any “exposed-video”, does not have the power to slow down the promise from being fulfilled. When it feels like the promise is delaying, it is simply God’s timing! It is simply: God is in control and it is not His timing yet for the promise to be fulfilled. It has nothing to do with the Pharisees, with the enemies, with those who attack the work of God. They are powerless!

It is so important that you stay pure in heart and you just keep your focus on becoming a disciple, who represents Jesus well. That is your whole focus! 

That you don’t worry about the timing, that you don’t worry about what the enemies are doing. That you don’t focus on trying to make the promise come to pass. That is all God’s job! Making the promise come to pass is all God’s job! 

I had no power to make that video go viral. That was all God’s doing; that video, that led to revival breaking out. I had no control of when the anointing was going to start coming out of me and making that demon manifest in March 2021 and the lady was set free and then revival spread wildly from there and went viral. I had no control of when that anointing that was growing in me was going to be birthed in that way. THAT WAS ALL GOD!

That is where God wants you to keep your focus. It is very simple. Just being humble, being childlike, being pure, being a good representative of Jesus. 

Rather than: How can we make this promise come to pass?

Just do what He is calling you to do. And in His perfect timing which we can’t guess very well, but in His perfect timing He is going to blow your mind and He is going to make the promise come to pass HOW HE WANTS. 

That is a big key of how I have made it through these eight years, of how we have made it at 5F Church through these eight years. How we have made it being able to stay in God’s will, how I have made it being able to stay in God’s will. How I have made it being able to really fulfill my purpose and carry the anointing and have it increase. This is one of the big keys, this verse from Psalms 37.

Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for Him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.

That is a big key of actually remaining in God’s will and proving yourself trustworthy, so that He can pour the anointing upon your life. Not trying to defend yourself. Not getting riled up about the injustice. Not being bitter in your heart about what enemies are doing to you, saying about you. But remaining pure and waiting patiently on God. Staying focused on the call, on what God is calling you to do. That is a big key of how we got here, of how I got here. This is the narrow road. This is the kingdom way. It is not the world’s way. This is God’s way. And so for God to entrust you with more, with the anointing, you have to humble yourself from thinking you know best; from thinking, the world’s way is God’s way. Amen.
