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.   

 

Numbers 14:24 

But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, the promised land, and his descendants will inherit it. 

This is spoken of Caleb, but all throughout scripture when we read about Caleb and Joshua, they are united and together in the spirit and heart. They both went out to scout the promised land, to see what it looked like and what they were up against, what their enemies looked like so that they could have a strategy and not go in there blindly. They were the only two that gave a good report, the true report, meaning that God would give them the land. They would have victory. 

This is why I titled the message, the spirit of not only Caleb but also of Joshua as well. 

I shared last Sunday about how Caleb and Joshua were the only ones who made it out of Egypt and into the promised land. It would’ve been the next generation besides Caleb and Joshua that actually entered into the promised land because it was only Caleb and Joshua besides Moses who had a different spirit, a spirit that followed God wholeheartedly. That is why God brought them into the promised land and He did not allow anyone else. They ended up dying in the wilderness. 

Today, I want to share with you how to have a spirit like Caleb and Joshua because this is your calling. You are, we are, the Joshua generation. The generation that is entering the promised land of revival, of lasting revival, of the end time revival. This is us. Hallelujah! But, you need to rise up to this calling. You need to know how to make sure you’re really having this spirit of Caleb and Joshua so you do enter in the promised land and so you can help all the others who aren’t there yet know the right way to go, so that you can be leaders, you can be an example like Caleb and Joshua were examples, they were leaders that led the way. This is the right spirit to have, this is the heart to have, this is the faith we must have, this is how we should behave and act, this is how to be real warriors of God. Their leadership is what led to the next generation of Israelites to be molded into the image of God, to be like Caleb and Joshua with this different spirit to be able to go into the promised land. This is YOUR calling, to be a leader like Caleb and Joshua, to lead those who are spiritually immature currently, who are lukewarm, whose eyes aren’t opened up yet. It’s your calling to lead them, to be an example for them, for your light to shine so brightly that they see the light in you and can find Jesus and His power and the answers, the truth through you. 

Numbers 13:25-33

After exploring the land for forty days, the men returned to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel at Kadesh in the wilderness of Paran. 

What’s happening before this, the context, is that a bunch of men were sent into the promised land, they were sent into this land to scout it out and they returned now, after 40 days. 

They reported to the whole community what they had seen and showed them the fruit they had taken from the land. This was their report to Moses:

There was a whole big group of them, it wasn’t just Joshua and Caleb, so this is the majority of the people, this was their report of what they saw. 

“We entered the land you sent us to explore, and it is indeed a bountiful country—a land flowing with milk and honey. Here is the kind of fruit it produces. But the people living there are powerful, and their towns are large and fortified. We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak! The Amalekites live in the Negev, and the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country. The Canaanites live along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and along the Jordan Valley.” But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said. “We can certainly conquer it!” 

Completely different report. Completely different spirit. 

But the other men who had explored the land with him disagreed. “We can’t go up against them! They are stronger than we are!” So they spread this bad report about the land among the Israelites: “The land we traveled through and explored will devour anyone who goes to live there. All the people we saw were huge. We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that’s what they thought, too!

Numbers 14:1-12 

Then the whole community, so all of the Israelites, began weeping aloud, and they cried all night. Their voices rose in a great chorus of protest against Moses and Aaron. “If only we had died in Egypt, or even here in the wilderness!” they complained. “Why is the Lord taking us to this country only to have us die in battle? Our wives and our little ones will be carried off as plunder! Wouldn’t it be better for us to return to Egypt?” Then they plotted among themselves, “Let’s choose a new leader and go back to Egypt!” Forget Moses! Then Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground before the whole community of Israel. Two of the men who had explored the land, Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, tore their clothing. They said to all the people of Israel, “The land we traveled through and explored is a wonderful land! And if the Lord is pleased with us, meaning if we can continue to obey Him and be in good standing like we currently are, he will bring us safely into that land and give it to us. It is a rich land flowing with milk and honey. Do not rebel against the Lord 

Do not rebel against the Lord by giving into doubt, by giving into the voices of the devil, saying that Moses isn’t who he says he is. Do not rebel against the Lord by going your own way, what seems right, what seems best in your eyes because of pride. 

Do not rebel against the Lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. Listen to this part, this is powerful. They are only helpless prey to us! This is the different spirit of Joshua and Caleb! The MASSIVE giants that make you feel like grasshoppers are helpless prey. They have no protection, but the Lord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them! But the whole community began to talk about stoning Joshua and Caleb. Then the glorious presence of the Lord appeared to all the Israelites at the Tabernacle. And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? Will they never believe me, even after all the miraculous signs I have done among them? I will disown them and destroy them with a plague. Then I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are!”

The word of God is so powerful because the word of God comes alive in our life. The God that we read about in this story is the same God who is alive today and who is with us today. The devil in the Bible, moving in the Bible, is the same devil today with the same schemes, the same schemes he had to move through people to try to intimidate and scare and falsely accuse God’s people. It is the same schemes today but God's people always have victory. It happens again and again throughout the word so that truth remains the same today. God’s people will always have victory. ALWAYS. 

In this story, we can see the same story happening in today’s time. This story of the people being delivered out of Egypt, going in the wilderness and entering into the promised land, this is so much like what God is doing today in this global revival that will never end and will keep growing and growing, that He has brought today. 

The people of God who have been in church, bound by religion, the devil keeping people blinded from the love of God, the devil keeping people blinded of God's power for so long in the church, pretty much maybe all of us here, probably all of us here, that is our story. We have all been in Egypt as believers in Jesus Christ. We had been bound in one way or another. 

For me, I was bound by religion. For me, I was bound by lukewarmness, my eyes were not opened up to God's love, to God's power and I was stuck in a cycle, never transforming, a cycle of condemnation, going to church week after week, multiple times a week, serving five services a day at a church but staying the same, not knowing what was wrong with me and constantly condemning myself, constantly hearing the angel of light, the devil masquerading himself as an angel of light speaking these condemning, religious lies to me. That was my Egypt. And for many of you, that was your Egypt too. For others, you had even more bondage, different bondage, bondage of addiction, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, poverty, generational curses, sickness, but many of you, if not all of you, have been in Egypt as a believer. You’ve been going to church, but you were in Egypt. You were in bondage. You were far from the promised land and now God has brought revival! God has delivered me, He has delivered all of you out of Egypt, out of the bondage of religion, out of the bondage of spiritual blindness where you do not see God's love, you do not know how to have a relationship with God and you do not know how to free from the devil’s grip. He has delivered us from that with His mighty hand doing signs and wonders and miracles! Our eyes have opened up, we have been set free from the captivity we were in and our ancestors were in for hundreds of years! We have been set free! 

We have stepped into the promised land in a certain way, but there’s so much more of the promised land we have yet to step into in terms of the revival, in terms of this global revival, in terms of the acceptance of God's move, in terms of all the different places God wants His revival, His word, His power, His new wine to extend to. There’s a big area of the promised land we have not entered yet and we are on our way. 

We as a revival army are like the Israelites who have been set free and who are on our way to step fully into the promised land, where there are no constraints, no limits on God's move, on God's revival. 

I can tell you now that it has been more than eight years now of ministry for me, of Five-Fold Church, and it has been since 2021, more than four years since revival has broken out and gone global and I can tell you that there have been, and still continue to be, religious giants occupying the promised land. There have been religious giants that have been conquered! Hallelujah! There have been many religious giants, year after year after year and we have gained more territory, more territory of the promised land. I’m telling you, every time I saw one of those religious giants, they looked massive and I felt like a grasshopper. Every time I encountered attacks, false accusations, different kinds of evil schemes that I couldn’t even imagine, lies just made up completely out of thin air, every time that I encountered those, it felt like a massive religious giant and I felt like a tiny grasshopper. But, I thank God that He has given me a different spirit, a spirit like Caleb and Joshua. I’m so thankful. You know Joshua and Caleb, they had Moses to imitate. They received impartation of a different spirit, from their spiritual father Moses. That’s what I had in my spiritual father Prophet Dr. GeorDavie. I have that different spirit because of that impartation from him, because of the heart of faith, the giant of faith that he is; by seeing his example, by listening to his words encouraging me and listening to his own testimony of how he has faced those religious giants before and how those religious giants have been defeated year after year after year, every single time. I valued that word instead of being like the Israelites and questioning Moses when they encountered obstacles. By God's grace I didn’t question my Moses. I didn’t question Prophet Dr. GeorDavie, my spiritual father, I valued his words and I believed the words of God coming through him and encouraging me to keep going, that these religious giants must be conquered! And that God will give me, will give us, will give His move, His army, victory every time! 

I’ve seen these different religious giants look different each time, a different kind of intimidation of bigger and bigger and bigger and feeling even smaller, but each time I’ve seen God bring victory! Each time I’ve seen those religious giants be conquered! I’ve seen God silence the voices, the accusers. Where are your accusers now? They’ve been silenced!

I’ve seen God prepare a table in the presence of my enemies, time after time again by God increasing His revival, increasing the fruit, increasing the miracles, the testimonies. The testimonies keep increasing, glory to God! This is how God prepares a table in the presence of our enemies. The enemies that say that the anointing is not real, that say women can’t preach, that make up lies and speak against the anointing and speak against me and speak against my spiritual father, all of these different lies, they have been silenced. The enemies are watching that they have been silenced, that their lies cannot stand, they cannot have impact, they cannot have lasting impact, it can’t happen! It may seem like a temporary impact but it can’t have a lasting impact! 

The word of God is so powerful, this different spirit of Caleb and Joshua is powerful because Caleb and Joshua said, “Don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the Lord is with us.” We don't just have protection, but we have perfect, everlasting, protection. There can’t be a more powerful protection than what we have. If it‘s a security system on a house, it‘s like a billion of them. I mean you can't even imagine the perfect protection we have with God on our side. So these religious giants, the religious giants that oppose revival, that oppose the anointing, that oppose deliverance, that oppose everything that Jesus is doing in His move, all the different ways he moves in His new wine, they are helpless prey - these religious giants - and they have no protection. 

Now, they can seem more powerful, it can seem like there‘s more of them, but in reality they have no protection, they are all talk. The lies and the schemes have no protection. Because, lies can never stand; they will be exposed. And, our job—this vision that God has given us—is to build His army, is to shine our light to attract people to come to Jesus, for true children of God to be birthed. Our job is not to convince the world of something, it’s not to convince everybody to believe in Jesus. Everybody has free will, so our job is to shine our lights, speak the truth, demonstrate the power of God, so that those who want Jesus can find Him, and can be birthed into the kingdom and become children of God. And our job is to then make disciples is to equip them to be warriors of God in this revival army—that’s our job. So, what is so powerful is that all of the people that will be children of God, that have pure hearts that want God, God will give them eyes to see the truth—He absolutely will, He’s done it for you, and He’s gonna do it for millions more. He gives discernment to His children. He gives you discernment. He will give every other person out there who truly has a heart for Him, discernment. 

And this is what God has taught me because honestly the lies and the false accusations seemed like really big giants to me. I would have thoughts like, how will people know the truth? How? If people are speaking so passionately a lie, won’t a lot of people just believe them because people are naive? And maybe they‘ll think, ‘Well, why would they make something up, you know?’ But the Lord has taught me year after year after year as I’ve gone through this, that He really gives His people discernment. He really speaks to His people, He speaks to you. He really speaks and He shows, He opens up eyes and He shows people what is true and what is false. So, this is what God wants you to know because this was the biggest scheme against Jesus, was the false accusations and lies, this is what led Him to being crucified. The Pharisees so passionately and adamantly were speaking lies and false accusations against Jesus. “He’s a false prophet,” they would say, “He’s using demonic powers,” they would say, “He’s going against the word of God, here’s the proof,” they would say. That was all they had, that was their weapons against Jesus. That was the persecution that Jesus faced, that was what led Him to being crucified. And it’s the same thing for the disciples of Jesus. This is the same scheme of the devil. So you need to understand it’s the same thing today, it’s the same scheme today. But what God wants you to know today is that these giants sending lies, sending false accusations, adamantly coming against the work of God, they are helpless prey, and their lies, their schemes have no protection! Their lies carry no power

And I’m telling you I can testify to this with joy, with confidence, because I have seen this in my life. I have seen God build such a big revival army. Now I’m seeing 5F Church small group leaders, for example, I’m seeing them, a big army of them, 40 plus groups, strong and mature, and a heart for Jesus. They have hearts for Jesus, they have hearts for God’s people, they have hearts for revival, it didn’t matter, all that the devil did, nothing stopped, in fact, it was a catalyst for God to build His army, to put fire in hearts, to strengthen His army. And, it’s just proof to me, as I’ve seen this revival army grow, as I have seen true disciples, and you, children of God, really grow and mature, this is evidence, that these schemes of the devil coming through the religious giants, these lies, these false accusations, they carry no power. All talk. No power. No protection. The truth is what stands, and people will see the truth. 

So, in order to have a spirit of Joshua and Caleb, you have to believe our God, and what He says in His word. “If God is for us, who can be against us? Who? Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.” God has revealed to you these miracles and signs and wonders in your life. Just like the Israelites, they had seen all these signs and wonders and miracles, they had experienced deliverance, they had prayed for coming out of Egypt, they had tasted and seen that God is a God of miracles—He is bigger than Pharoah, who was the biggest kind of giant in those days. They saw it with their own eyes! We must believe that God is who He says He is, and who He has proved to us that He is. He has proved to you already that He can conquer giants in your life, so what about the new giants coming? This is the different spirit that Joshua and Caleb had, they remembered what God did for them in the past! They remembered that God defeated Pharoah—the biggest kind of giant with the hardest heart, who said “NO! NO! NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT, NEVER!” And God defeated him! So what about the giants in the promised land, in the land of Canaan, what about them? They are going down just like Pharoah went down! This is the different spirit of Joshua and Caleb that you must have! Don’t be like the rest of the Israelites that forgot what God did, that forgot who God proved Himself to be already. God has done enough in your life, you have to remember and value what He’s shown you. He doesn’t change. He doesn’t lie. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. And He will keep bringing you victory after victory after victory. The giants look different, they can even look bigger, but He will keep bringing you victory every single time!

Number 14:24

But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.”

So, having a different spirit like Caleb and Joshua, part of it is meaning to follow God wholeheartedly. Following God wholeheartedly, a meaning of this, is following God’s vision. Because it was God’s vision to take them out of the land of Egypt, where they were slaves, and to turn them into sons, to turn them into victors. In Egypt, they were at the lowest level, they were slaves, and the people who worshiped other gods, Pharaoh, and his people, were in charge of the land, they had authority over the land. But God wanted to bring them out of slavery, and transform them into sons and those who would rule the land, and walk in authority to bring about God’s will on this earth. In order to do that, it had to be done God’s way, not just any old way. That’s going to be a big process to be turned from a slave to a son who has dominion. So you are going from the lowest level to the highest level. That’s going to take quite a process to bring about that change, and so the Israelites, besides Joshua and Caleb, did not want that. They chose to not be a son and have dominion. They chose to remain slaves. Because in the scripture that I just read they said, “We prefer to turn back to Egypt. We prefer to raise up a new leader who will bring us back into slavery.” That’s what they were saying when they said it would be better if you left us in Egypt, let’s find a new leader who will bring us back to Egypt. So they were choosing that. They were choosing to go against God’s vision, they wanted their own vision, because they wanted comfort, they wanted things to be predictable, they didn’t want to be people of faith who had to depend on God, and they didn’t want change. 

But Caleb and Joshua had a different spirit. They followed God wholeheartedly, they surrendered their lives. They surrendered their vision, and what they wanted, and their comfort, to follow God wholeheartedly. Which means following God’s vision for their lives. So this is exactly how it is today—God is turning you from slaves into sons and daughters who will have dominion on this earth! Not just a little dominion, but God’s ways, His new wine, this must be the standard for the body of Christ

So, this is God’s vision, this is God’s will, not for us to have a little comfortable tiny revival, with a few hundred people. No. It’s God’s will for us to have dominion, us to lead the way, us as warriors of God, to lead the way with the new wine, with demonstrating God’s power, with releasing impartation, with making disciples in the whole body of Christ. This is not about a one church thing. I’m saying this is about God’s global revival. This revival God has brought where He has poured out His anointing, where He is pouring out apostles and prophets, where He has poured out His new wine revelation. This is for the whole world this is not just for one church or about one church but it is about who will receive this revival. 

So, for all who will follow Moses, for all who will get in line with God’s vision, and leave the old ways behind, leave the religion and tradition, and no transformation in the church, but lots of entertainment and socializing—to leave that behind and get in line with God’s new wine ways. For all who will get in line with God’s new wine ways and receive His new move, He is calling all of you, all of us, to take dominion in the body of Christ. For this to be the standard, God is purifying and transforming His bride. There must be the power of God in every church! There must be purity and holiness in leadership that trickles down to the whole body of Christ, the whole church in every church! There must be a spiritual hospital in every church! There must be deliverance and healing released to people in every church! There must be the power of God that raises the dead to life in every church! There must be the power of God that opens blind eyes, that opens deaf ears, that opens up mute mouths in every church! THIS IS GOD’S WILL! That the body of Christ goes into the promised land of a global revival. A bride that is pure, blameless, spotless, without wrinkle, that is prepared for the return of Jesus. This is God’s will! This is God’s vision for the WHOLE body! 

So for that to happen, we have to rise up and be leaders, be examples for the body of Christ. We have to take dominion in the body of Christ and speak this is what God says, this is what God is doing now and not be shy about it, not care what people think. This is what God is doing! He is moving in power! He is delivering people from demonic spirits! He is healing the sick! He is moving through apostles and prophets, just like he did in the book of Acts. He is doing a new thing! And this is what He wants to do in every church! Boldly and confidently speaking this, living this, testifying about this, this is your calling! This is our calling! This is how we walk in dominion as sons and daughters of God! No longer slaves, no longer bound by religion and bound by people pleasing, caring what people think! Hallelujah! 

So, to follow God’s vision, in order to follow God’s vision, He is taking us to a promised land, a land with so much fruit. A land where so many souls are saved, healed, and delivered. And a land also where you are experiencing abundant life, more abundant life, than you currently are. Because it’s a reward of the increase of following God, and going into the promised land of His revival; He blesses you for serving. It’s like Joshua and Caleb and the Israelites, there was a great reward of enjoying this fruit once they followed God wholeheartedly, and His vision, putting His work first. If you want anything great in life, anything above the norm, and God’s will of a great promised land of abundant life, a land flowing with milk and honey, you have to get out of your comfort zone. You have to leave behind your comfortable old life, the things of the past, and you have to embrace the journey. 

Has anybody traveled to many places here? Has anybody encountered the chaos of flying, turbulence, delays, cancellations, all of that headache? Yeah. Does anybody say it’s worth it? (Audience: Yes!) You know there are a lot of people who will not travel, because they do not want the discomfort of the journey. The thought of the headaches, of the travel, the planes and all that can happen, they would rather stay home. And they’re missing out on so much. They’re not just missing out on just the joy to see the new creation of God around the world, the different landscapes, the different people, the different cultures, all the blessings that come with it. But they are also missing out on growing, their perspective changing to see the beauty of the world, the beauty of God’s people, the beauty of different cultures, it changes you, it humbles you, especially when you are an American, it really humbles you. 

If you haven’t traveled, I speak doors to open up for you, and you need to go travel. Because it humbles you. You can have that ethnocentrism spirit otherwise. But that’s how it is in the spiritual realm, there are some people who start on the journey like the Israelites did, and then it gets uncomfortable, it’s the same food everyday even though it’s coming miraculously. It’s so unpredictable. You thought you were going to get somewhere sooner, but instead you are still in the wilderness. Some people just prefer the predictability and the comfort of Egypt. And so they step away from God’s calling, God’s will, God’s vision, and return back to where they came from. So, you need to know that to have this different spirit like Caleb and Joshua did, to follow God’s vision, you have the embrace the journey, embrace the discomfort that can come along the journey, embrace the unpredictability, the not knowing, the life of faith and dependency on God, and embrace the new. You have to have that spirit. You have to have that attitude of acceptance, of being flexible, adaptable, and selfless—not caring about your comfort, knowing that it’s worth it to serve God, and the promised land will be worth it.

Isaiah 43:16-19

This is what the Lord says—he who made a who through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

Our God is a God who does new things! The Israelites had never left Egypt before, the people of God in general had never done what God had wanted to do through the Israelites. They had never been brought into the promised land. God continues to do new things-that’s who He is, He’s a God who does new things. There were revivals in the past, but when God brings a revival again, it will be a new kind of revival. It will look different. In this revival, He is restoring things that haven’t been restored before since the book of Acts. Things we haven’t seen in the body of Christ. Deliverance He is restoring, not just to be in one little ministry, but all over. This is a new thing He is doing. The anointing, His way of moving in power, putting His power in vessels, the way we see through the Word, and then impartation being released, so that the power of God is moving effortlessly, mightily, through people, and being imparted. In all these testimonies we heard today—they received the impartation so easily, and now God is moving through them. It’s because it’s true anointing. The power of God that He puts in vessels, not just anybody, but those He can trust. We’ve been missing this by and large in the body of Christ, and this is part of the new thing that God is doing. He’s moving through women as well as men, this is a new thing by and large that He is doing. He’s using weak and foolish things in a greater way than what we have seen, this is a new thing that He’s doing. He’s moving through apostles and prophets, by and large this is a new thing He is doing. He’s restoring the new wine. 

Mark 2:18 AMP

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting [as a ritual] 

So therefore not led by God, but doing it as a ritual. Things we do just to do them in performance to God, as a ritual, as a tradition, it carries no power, it’s not led by God. We are to do everything led by God, that’s where there’s power, that’s where there’s fruit. So when you fast, not led by God, but as a ritual, if you take communion, not led by God but done as a ritual, if you pray as a ritual, but not connecting to God and led by the Holy Spirit but just saying words just to do it at a ritual, no power. Everything we do for God should not be a ritual, but we should include the Holy Spirit, and He should lead us. 

Mark 2:18, 21 AMP

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting [as a ritual]; and they came and asked Jesus, “Why are John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fasting, but Your disciples are not doing so?” Jesus answered, “The attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast while the bridegroom is [still] with them, can they? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. But the days will come when the bridegroom is [forcefully] taken away from them, and they will fast at that time. “No one sews a patch of unshrunk (new) cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and the tear becomes worse. No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the [fermenting] wine will [expand and] burst the skins, and the wine is lost as well as the wineskins. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.”

This is part of His response to, “Why are your disciples and you not fasting in the way that we do, in the way that is ritual?” This is a powerful answer that Jesus gives, that teaches us this revelation about old wine versus new wine. Old wine is about rituals and traditions, not led by the Holy Spirit, doing things man’s ways, doing things in a way that can be people pleasing actually, doing things in a performative way - performing to get righteousness, performing for people so you can look really spiritual, like a really good Christian, performing so you can feel like a great Christian, performing to please people so you don’t have Pharisees persecuting you. That’s the old wine. And that can apply to so many things, all the things that God commands us to do in the word - praying, reading the bible, ministering to people, evangelizing, how you pray for people, how you cast demons out, offering, communion, how we do church, teachings. There can be old wine, which is operating like the Pharisees did, out of religion, and performative and people pleasing, shutting out the leading of the Holy Spirit, doing things in a comfortable way that doesn’t lead to persecution - or NEW WINE. We can do things in the new wine, which is the doctrine of Jesus, the way of Jesus, that He introduced. It’s led by the Holy Spirit and it attracts persecution, because it actually destroys the work of the devil, when you operate in the new wine. Because we are in a Kingdom of God, where there are principles and rules and laws in the spiritual realm that God set up. Operating in the new wine is about getting in line with God’s principles.

One brief example, so you can know what I am talking about, is the principle of authority. What makes a demon go, is when a vessel of God has been entrusted with anointing and authority, and when the vessel of God knows the authority they carry - they don’t let demons intimidate them and fool them - and they operate in their authority effectively. For everyone to scream out loud, we all scream out loud together, “Demon, go now!” - that’s not how authority works. This is why we see, when Apostle Peter ministered, people came under His shadow and all who came under his shadow were healed and delivered. Where were the rest of the apostles, casting out demons together with him? - They weren’t there! It was just Peter, because that’s how authority works. We all have specific dominion and territory in the spiritual realm. 

Like the stories of impartation here from Switzerland - it was her nephew she prayed for and the demon went. She was operating in her territory - her family. They are pastors in a church and I released impartation for them to pray for the people in their church. That is their territory, in their church. But for them to start to cast out demons here, for example, would be outside of their territory. And that’s not even how it works. When God has given a person authority, it’s authority for all demons to go. That’s what happened in the times of Peter. When a vessel really carries true authority and true anointing and says, “Every demonic spirit of addiction must go now”, then if there are 40 people here with addiction and 1,000 with addiction watching, then 1,040 demons of addiction must go with one command! That’s a little side note, so you can understand what I am teaching now about how God, in His new wine way, is about principles in the spiritual realm. 

The new wine is the revelation of God’s ways, of His principles, of how to operate as a child of God, of how to walk in the authority and anointing. That’s why the woman that shared her impartation testimony shared that she did the Walking in Miracles E-Course. That’s my e-course by the way. You can find that on 5fchurch.org website or apostlekathrynkrick.com under resources or link in bio. But she shared, “I had to learn HOW to walk in the anointing and be effective.”

Jesus is saying, we can’t mix the old and new wine together. You have to shed the old way completely and step fully into the new wine. 

To have this different spirit of Caleb and Joshua and enter the promised land, you can’t have one foot in Egypt and one foot in the promised land. It won’t work. That means, you are going to make a lot of people angry. You are going to offend a lot of people, because there’s a lot of people in the old wine. This is the beginning of this revival, so there’s a lot of people that don’t understand the new wine yet and they may say, “That’s not right. That’s wrong. It’s this way. You should do it this way. You should pray this way.” You’ll encounter that. I’ve encountered that. But I can’t care what people think, if I’m going to have a different spirit like Joshua and Caleb, if I’m going to enter the promised land, if I’m going to lead the way and help others step into revival. And you can’t either! 

Joshua and Caleb knew they were going to make people mad, by speaking the good report. They knew it. And even they didn’t cower down when the people said, “let’s stone them”. They didn’t cower down. They didn’t care what people thought about them, said about them. They followed God wholeheartedly. They accepted the new way fully. You need to be ready to step into this new territory and leave the old way behind completely and not care what anybody has to say about it.

1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware, that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].

There is one last thing I want to share with you, about how to have a different spirit like Caleb and Joshua. 

THEY KEPT GOING. For more than 40 years, they kept marching. They kept moving. They kept moving forward, despite all these obstacles, despite disappointment, despite people trying to kill them, despite all the giants in the land, they kept moving forward. And this is what God is speaking to all of you right now. 

Keep going! Keep the fire! Keep marching confidently! Confidently!

The giants will come, but you will have victory every time! Don’t let the giants slow you down! Don’t let any scheme of the devil slow you down. Keep moving forward! We have more and more land to conquer for Jesus in this revival! We have to keep going!

This year is the year of acceptance and God gave the direction to all of you, all of you planted at 5F Church, all of you who are accepting of God’s move, His revival, He gave you this word, that you must SHINE YOUR LIGHT. Because it’s the year of acceptance, and how we bring in the harvest, how we lead people - who are now ready to receive - to Jesus, is by shining our light. I have seen so many of you shine your light like I have never seen. I have never seen so many of you love on others, put others first, take time out of your days to spread flyers about what God is doing in His revival, and go up and talk to people, and share your testimony and use your social media for God’s glory and just be zealous, passionate, on fire for Jesus and His move and have this passion for others to receive what you’ve received. I’m so proud of you. I have seen it and I am so full of joy. God is so proud of you! 

And I want to say to all of you: KEEP GOING! Keep going! Keep having this different spirit! Keep marching! We are making ground! We are making powerful ground! And victory after victory is coming for you and for God’s revival army! Hallelujah!

Are you ready to keep carrying this different spirit and enter the promised land fully? 

Let’s go, revival army! I’m proud of you! Keep going!
