This message was shared by Apostle Kathryn Krick Lead Pastor/ Apostle of 5F Church in Los Angeles, CA on May 30, 2024. 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.  

You really need to be aware of the devil’s schemes. The devil will try to condemn you. The devil will try to play God and make you think that you are not doing enough. He will come with this religious spirit and say: “You are not doing enough for God! You are not praying enough, you are not reading the bible enough, you are not serving enough.” He will do that. So you need to be aware of that. 

All you have to focus on is surrendering to God, is making sure your heart is clean, you have a pure heart before God, you really have that heart to obey him, you really every day are dying to yourself and rejecting all of these fleshly ways of selfishness, selfish ambition and jealousy. You are being diligent to reject those lies and really come every day before God surrendered. That’s all you have to focus on. 

And you need to understand, if you are doing that, you’re good! You’re good, man! Stop trying to overcomplicate it. Because we can’t be doing all these crazy things that the voice of the devil is saying. We only have 24 hours a day, we are only human, we have to sleep, we have to do the responsibilities God has given us and there is just this lie of the devil that wants you to believe that you are supposed to be doing all these other things that you legit can’t do, that God is not calling you to do. It is that voice of religion, condemnation, determined to get you to believe these lies so you’ll beat yourself down. You won’t be walking in joy and peace. You won’t know God’s love. And therefore there is no way you can fulfill your calling and be a blessing to others and be a true vessel of God to others and truly speak God’s love and truth to others. 

You need to understand how much the devil wants you to believe these lies of condemnation and religion. You got to be aware of that scheme! And never fall for it again.
