What began as a small, struggling church has now erupted into a global movement marked by miracles, deliverance and a growing hunger for the presence of God.
In a recent livestream, Kathryn Krick of 5F Church reflected on a powerful two-day revival gathering in Manila, Philippines, where thousands witnessed the unmistakable move of God.
“I’m in awe of all that Jesus did over those two days. So many miracles for thousands of people all over the arena,” she said. “So many people received impartation, the fire of the Holy Spirit. All glory to God.”
But according to Krick’s message, what has already taken place is only the beginning.
From Two People to Global Revival
The story behind the movement is anything but conventional.
After receiving a prophetic word in 2016 that she was called to ministry, she initially resisted. Yet, her obedience to God’s call led her to launch a church in Los Angeles in 2017—one that would shrink dramatically before it grew.
“Our church was so tiny, it actually got smaller with every year… We dwindled down to two people,” Krick said.
Yet even in that season, something deeper was happening spiritually.
“However, we were experiencing revival… we were experiencing truly God’s power at work.”
That unseen work would soon explode into public view.
The ‘Suddenly’ Moment That Changed Everything
The turning point came at the end of 2020, when a short video showing prayer and the power of God went viral.
“The greater miracle is that there were so many miracles that God did through this 1-minute video… uncountable amounts of people… receiving healing and deliverance,” she said.
Within months:
- Attendance grew from just a handful to hundreds
- Deliverance began happening publicly
- People traveled across the country—and eventually the world—to be part of what God was doing
“Jesus had just decided to have revival break out… it was God’s divine time,” she said.
Opposition and the Reality of Spiritual Warfare
As the movement expanded, so did resistance.
Krick warned that opposition is not a sign of failure—but confirmation of true spiritual impact.
“There’s nothing the devil hates more than revival… than people being set free,” she said.
Drawing from Scripture, she pointed to a consistent biblical pattern: moments of intense resistance are always followed by breakthrough.
“We always see… it is just for a season… and after that there’s victory, there’s breakthrough, there’s advancement.”
Why May Could Mark a Major Shift
Central to the message is a prophetic emphasis on the month of May.
Krick tied May to:
- The original breakout of revival on May 30, 2021
- Personal prophetic milestones
- The biblical symbolism of grace
Now, she believes another turning point is imminent.
“I believe that there’s going to be such a great shift in the spiritual realm… such a great shift in revival in this month of May,” she declared.
Upcoming events—including a conference and the release of her new book—are seen as catalysts for this next wave.

A Harvest Already Ready
Referencing John 4, she emphasized that the world is more spiritually open than many realize.
“Wake up and look around… the fields are already ripe for harvest,” she said, quoting Jesus’ words.
Rather than waiting for revival, Krick insists believers must recognize that it is already underway—and respond with urgency.
“Revival is now… God wants to use you so powerfully to bring in the harvest.”
The Call: Be Set on Fire
At the heart of Krick’s message is a call for believers to fully engage—not passively observe.
“Fan into flame the spiritual gift God gave you… never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord,” she said, referencing 2 Timothy 1.
She described a coming move where believers themselves become carriers of revival—marked by visible transformation and bold faith.
“When someone has truly met Jesus… you see it. The way they speak… the humility… the love… you can see the glory of God,” she said.
A Defining Moment for the Church
What unfolded in Krick’s message is more than a testimony—it is a challenge to the global church.
The pattern is clear: hidden seasons, unexpected breakthrough and a God who moves suddenly when His timing arrives. And if this message proves true, the coming days may not be marked by slow growth—but by explosive, undeniable transformation.
The question now is not whether revival is coming—but whether believers are ready to step into it.
Because if the harvest is truly ripe, as Scripture declares, then this moment demands more than passive faith. It calls for boldness, surrender and a willingness to carry the fire of God into a world desperate for truth.
This is not a distant promise—it is a present reality: “Revival is now.”
