We are able to go up and take the country! - Loreto Conference

What a powerful day in the book of Acts it was!  We can’t even begin to explain the mighty power of the Holy Ghost that moved in this church, as there are no words adequate to express what God did.  First, we do have to say that the progression of the ministers from when they first came to the meetings was phenomenal:  Many came burdened, troubled and just weighed down with the struggles of the ministry, but through the meetings and the questions and answers sessions, joy, freedom, strength and power are being restored to these precious ministers of the gospel!  Rev. Sanchez preached a mighty message and the Spirit of God moved throughout.  He focused on not letting go of the vision, never giving it up and taking the message from the King that has been given to them.  Rev. Sanchez went on to say that God had ordained this meeting to crown those pastors with Kingdom power and a greater anointing, in these last days, to accomplish the purpose of God in their communities. 

At the end of the message, everyone came to that altar praising God, with open hearts in total surrender and letting the power of God have his way.  As Rev. Sanchez moved in the gifts of the Spirit, God gave him words for many Pastors, ministers, their wives and children. As the power of God moved, people were everywhere weeping, speaking in tongues and just overwhelmed by the power of God!  God filled some ministers with the Holy Ghost for the first time and manifested His Spirit in their lives.  A young man came that was 16 years old, who had backslid and was troubled about his future.  He kind of kept to himself and we all befriended him and involved him every chance we had.  Each day, you could see God begin to work in his life and speak to his heart.  Well on the last day, he came to the altar and as the power of God hit him, he just broke and fell down under the presence of God!  He was there for a long time and when the altar call was over, he just went to a corner, smiling, weeping, laughing as the power of God still continued to move on him.  This young man was a changed man!  He could not stop smiling; he was so free and totally transformed! Now that he is filled with power, he has accepted God’s call for his life and is ready to do the work of the ministry!

The fellowship was wonderful and there was so much joy as everyone ate, talked and laughed together.  The questions and answers sessions were powerful as the ministers had very excellent questions.  One young couple, that just started a church in Iquitos, had questions about the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues and if it is necessary because they had heard so many things.  Rev. Sanchez took time to really break it down and this couple was so thankful for the answers and excited.  The minister testified that he was so grateful that God led him to the conference as he is going back to his church in the power of the Holy Ghost!

The night meeting was awesome!  Brother Ken felt the fire in him to preach but he just had no idea what part to end with, and nothing in particular was coming to him, but he knew God was going to do something great.  So we had the pastors testify first.  As they began to share how the meetings have helped them and they proclaimed what they are expecting God to do in their churches and communities, a revival broke out!  The pastors jumped, shouted and danced as they encouraged one another!  They were fired up and some started walking back and forth, preaching and proclaiming God’s promises.  Bro. Ken preached in between all the testimonies and the ministers jumped up and shouted as the Word of God went forth.  There was so much joy and freedom as the pastors saw that they too had the power to lift each other up!  After this, we ended the meeting with rejoicing and singing.  The whole church roared with music, praise and worship as they sang and sang in joy and victory for much of the night! 

It is just amazing to see that the power of God will certainly move anywhere we let him.  Most of the time in the conference it was unbearably hot; the air was thick and humid; we were sweaty, covered with bug spray, getting bit by mosquito’s, watching out for snakes, surviving the thunder storms and lightning, but in the midst of the inconvenience of the flesh, God had is way and moved just as he did on the day of Pentecost!  These pastors have a message from the King and have His authority, and they are going back to their churches equipped with the whole armor of God, ready to turn their villages upside down!  Hallelujah! 

God bless you,
Rev. Sanchez & Bro. Kenneth Erha
