During a book signing event in Houston, Texas, on May 12, attendees of Los Angeles-based pastor Kathryn Krick’s event experienced intense physical manifestations described by Krick’s ministry as spiritual “deliverance.” The event, held at a Barnes & Noble, drew over 200 people for a talk and signing of Krick’s book, “Ignite Revival.”
Footage shared by Krick shows one woman approaching the signing table exhibiting visible emotion, with her right hand beginning to shake. The shaking reportedly spread, causing her torso to jerk and her head to snap backward. Two individuals moved to support her as her knees buckled, and she arched backward over a folding chair before being lowered to the bookstore floor.
Krick, who self-describes as an “apostle” and lead pastor of Five-Fold Church, characterized these intense physical reactions as encounters with God’s power and evidence of a religious “revival.” She stated that the reactions occurred during her message and continued as attendees approached her for book signings.
Other attendees were also seen crying, screaming, doubling over, and slumping in their chairs as Krick touched or gestured toward them. In one instance captured on video, Krick could be heard commanding something to “leave her body,” performing what her ministry describes as spiritual deliverance. Text superimposed over the footage declared, “God’s power is not limited to the four walls of a church.”
Krick posted on Instagram, describing the event as a “revival” where people were “set free.” She wrote, “Person after person was touched as they came to get their books signed, and I was left in awe of the tangible love of God that filled the store.” She added, “Many were set free, some received impartation, and others were touched powerfully by God’s love. Hallelujah!”
Five-Fold Church, based in Los Angeles, aims to bring Christian revival globally and restore practices believed to be lost from the early church. According to its website, the church teaches that God’s power can “deliver the oppressed and heal the sick.” The ministry also states that its followers are called to “heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead” by acting as vessels for God’s anointing, which can be passed to others through a practice known as “impartation.” The report did not provide evidence to support claims of purported healings or demonic deliverances.
