“…bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,” (Matt. 5:44).
One testament of faithfulness to the Lord is by how we interact with those who have wronged us. In an inspiring behind the scenes look, Jeanntal from Five-Fold Church gave a heartwarming account of how she saw Kathryn Krick showcase the utmost humility during a time of intense spiritual warfare.

It all started on a flight to Kentucky when they received shocking news of an attack against their ministry. Another minister had launched an unwarranted and deeply hurtful assault against Krick and Five-Fold Church.
Despite everything that happened, Krick just smiled at Jeanntal on the plane. There were no words, no signs of anguish—just a calm, steady smile as she walked past. This moment marked Jeanntal in a profound way. In the midst of attack, Krick chose peace, remaining calm, refusing o allow the enemy to steal her joy or composure. It became a powerful lesson: Our emotions may tell us one thing, but we can choose to walk in peace and strength.
Later, once the two had landed and were situated in the hotel, Jeanntal says Krick did one of the most humbling things possible.
“She pulled up her phone and she pulled up the minister’s profile on one of the social media pages, and she looked at the screen and she looked at this person’s face and….says ‘I bless you. May God bless you. I forgive you. May no harm come to you,'” says Jeanntal. “I saw her speak life over someone who was speaking death over her, death over the ministry. She did the opposite. She loved on her enemy.”

Here was a woman who had been deeply hurt by lies and attacks, yet instead of retaliating, she chose to speak life over her enemy. No defense, no argument—just pure love. Jeanntal realized this was the kind of love Jesus spoke about—love for your enemies, love that transcends mere words. It was a new level of transformation she had never seen before.
The enemy will always try to pull believers away from where God wants them to be. He will use trials, persecutions and distractions to lead us astray. But we must overcome the enemy by staying strong in faith, renewing our minds and remembering the power of God that has already touched our lives.
Revival is now. The time to rise up and testify is now. Believers must shine for His kingdom, testify of what God has done, and let the enemy be defeated through the power of their testimonies.
