Today we honor the life of Dr. Curtis “Earthquake” Kelley, a man whose life story is a testament to the profound transformations that faith and love can bring about. Born in Stamford, Connecticut, Earthquake was the seventh of eleven children. His early years were marked by significant trials, exposure to the dark arts of voodoo, obeah, and hoodoo through his father. Yet, it was these very challenges that shaped his future ministry and deep compassion.
Dr. Kelley’s life was a journey from darkness to light, marked by a dramatic encounter with God after a near-death experience at the age of 15. This turning point led him to devote his life to the ministry, determined to bring hope and deliverance to those ensnared by spiritual and physical afflictions. His testimony and teachings, as shared in his books like “Bound to Lose, Destined to Win” and “Escaping the N’MOS Cycle,” have touched countless lives, guiding many to spiritual freedom and healing.
Earthquake was not only a spiritual leader but also a beacon of resilience and hope. His legacy is not just in the words he preached but in the lives he touched, the people he delivered, and the unshakeable faith he exhibited in the face of adversity. He taught us that no matter our past, transformation is always possible through faith.
As we reflect on his life and mourn his passing, let us hold on to the lessons he imparted: to live with courage, to fight for redemption, and to always believe in the transformative power of God’s love. Today, we say goodbye not just to a minister but to a father, a mentor, and a friend whose impact will continue to resonate through the ages.
We thank God for the life of Dr. Curtis “Earthquake” Kelley, a true warrior of faith. May he rest in peace, knowing that his work here has left an indelible mark on the world, and his spiritual legacy will endure in the lives of those he has touched.
The funeral is still to be determined, and will be held sometime near the end of May 2024.
If you would like to make a donation to the family, you can do so here. Thank you so much for your generosity!
Watch the funeral service here from: June 1, 2024 (11am-12:30pm) Highlands Church, Palmdale, CA

I have just learned of this wonderful human being Dr Kelley. A dear friend of mine sent me a link to a video of Dr. Kelley being interviewed by Randy Kay. He has such an incredible story, an inspiration to all who have listened to him. May God bless and comfort his family through this difficult time.

I was so saddened to hear our dear friend “Earthquake” graduated to glory! He and I and his precious wife spoke often on the phone in my darkest hours. Prophesied over me. We chatted often on the phone and thru podcasts. I invited him to many of my national prayer calls. So humbled to know him and he was kind to me. His family is so precious and I especially enjoy his prophetic expression of art as he is teaching some key elements that he saw in the body of Christ. He will not be forgotten as his grandchildren also carry his artwork gift. Luv you Earthquake! See you soon!

Please accept my condolences for this “Man of God” that God ordained for this world. My pastor mentioned his wonderful friendship with this “mighty warrior for the Lord” so I have listened to some of the YouTube videos of interviews and recognize the great loss that has transpired. He will be missed by me based on his candor, honesty, and integrity. God bless you as you celebrate his homegoing but adjust to a world without him.

Earthquake was the most loving man on earth I have ever known.
Gracious, Kind and very loving to everyone. RIP my friend I will miss you until we meet again 🙏

I have learnt so much from you when you grace us with your presence on TBN in the nineties. You have impacted & transformed so many lives through your journey & encounter with our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
Then listen in on your teachings at Revelation Chuch Simi Valley, Easy Street with Prophet Lovy Elias & Prophetess Taryn(Mama T) also @Liberty; Simi Valley, Easy Street, on the opening night.
You were a great Soldier in The Army of the Lord. You will be greatly missed and you taught us to be battle ready.

Praying for his loved ones. He was a gentle, kind servant of the Lord. He was my first introduction to deliverance. I Praise His name that he was used as a messenger on how to break darkness. Thank you, Jesus, for Earthquake, and I ask you to embrace his family in your heavenly peace.

I briefly first heard of General Earthquake through Prophet Lovy. A few months later I learned about him on Jennifer Bagnaschi’s YouTube channel “Deep Believer”. His testimony was so compelling, I subscribed to his YT channel. As I watched his videos or joined when he came on live, I learned sooooooo many things that I never knew or was taught as a Believer. I purchased most of his books as well. Bishop was very kind and personable when we spoke on the phone. I certainly loved how he loved God and his family! I am grateful because of his commitment to his assignment; I will not perish due to lack of knowledge. May God’s peace, love and strength be with each of you!!
