In the video clip, Kelly can be heard saying:

“Beloveds, our people are dying ... Yes, we have to social distance, keep our masks on, and I’m sure with the alcohol ban things are going to go down. But I don’t hear a lot of government officials calling us to prayer. I feel that we need God more than ever at this point in time.”

Kelly spoke about how she truly believed that she knew the only way forward would be prayer and continued by saying:

“Again I know a lot of you will certify me as a crazy person. I need to ask you guys to call on the Lord because no scientist is going to create a miracle at this point. We need God Himself.”

Kelly's fans all supported her and she limited comments on the post. Her followers mostly responded with emojis and an "Amen".
