Greetings my friends. It is a blessing for me, along with Pastor Devin
Johnson from Tabernacle of Deliverance and Praise Ministries in Norwich CT, to be
here in Ghana with Bishop
James Sekyere from Heaven Sent Ministries in Accra, to preach a pastors and leaders
conference and night evangelistic meetings. Pastors have been gathering for the last few
days from all over Ghana
in great anticipation of a mighty move of God. Some pastors have travelled so far that they
are sleeping in the church the next few days because they don’t want to miss
one thing that God is going to do in the services.
Leadership Fire Conference
The Pastor’s Conference in the morning is called the Leadership Fire Conference.
We had over 120 pastors and more are arriving. I personally did not realize the
impact we had on some of these men and women of God because many of them have
been praying for us to return to Accra
for the last three years. They said your ministry (WWLM Inc.) brings us a Word
and an anointing that we need in Ghana and you can't wait another three years
to return.
After greeting everyone it was time for the conference to start. The
worship was wonderful! Pastors just cried and sang to the Lord with hands
raised in the air. The harmony and
singing was just breathtaking. The
message I brought was titled "The Necessity of Rain!”. While I was teaching, it was like the rain of
God started showering down on dry ground. Some Pastors fell to the floor, weeping and
crying out to God. Others dropped to
their knees, crying out “Let it rain, Lord, let it rain!” And the more I taught, the more they began to
cry out to God. Then suddenly, God sent
in the Holy Ghost rain cloud - and it rained in that church!
The power of God fell so strong, it was reported that 27 leaders fell
out under the power of God all at once and every one of them was
baptized in the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues! God was moving in that church! One pastor was
jumping and dancing all over the church, shouting, “My chains are gone! I am
free, free to do what God has called me to do!” Then we heard screams in the corner, because a
sister who had problems with walking all her life was now running around the
church healed by the power of God! The
rain of the Holy Ghost was pouring down and it was healing and refreshing and
empowering! The sounds of shouting and
praise to God were so loud that it drew people in off the street and they got
saved. The more God moved, the more
healing and deliverances took place. Some
of these pastors have been bound by fear of witchcraft, but now they know that
God has not given them a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind!
God was breaking chains -- Chains of intimidation, Chains of
unworthiness, Chains of limitations! The
Bible says that he who the Son sets free is free indeed! The anointing of the Lord was breaking every
chain! Pastors were all over the church
and the altar and God just kept pouring down His rain! And then God just saturated the building! Pastors and leaders where falling out everywhere!
It felt like the upper room on the day
of Pentecost because they were all staggering like drunken men, some of them
could not get off the floor at all. It
was an incredible morning.
After lunch, I went back to my hotel to get ready for the night service
and a young man at the desk named John wanted to help me to my room, but I told
him I did not need any help. But he was
just so determined to carry my bag that I eventually let him. Well, when we got to my room he dropped down
on his knees and started crying, saying “I
need to be saved. I am backslidden and
away from God for 15 years. When you
came into the hotel, I saw the glory of the Lord shining all over you and I
knew I had to get my life right with God!” I prayed for him in that room as he asked
Jesus in his heart and all of a sudden his body started to tremble and he started
talking in tongues as the power of the Holy Ghost filled his life! He got off the floor clapping and shouting, and
I am thinking, "John, you better be quiet if you want to keep your job!" But down the hallway John went, crying and
shouting and praising God. Then, a few
minutes later, there was a knock at the door; it was John and he said “Rev. Sanchez, I just have to tell you I
have been sick for 5 years with stomach pains. I have had tumors in my stomach;
but when I got downstairs I realized that
the tumors where gone! Feel my stomach - feel my stomach! There is nothing
there anymore! Hallelujah! No more
lumps, no more pain!" and down
the hallway he went again, shouting, talking in tongues and praising God!! AND THEN....
When it was time for the night service, I went downstairs and 10 people
were coming to church with us because "Shouting John" had
stirred up the hotel! AND all 10 people
got saved! Now that’s a shouting moment! Hallelujah!
Victory at Last
The night evangelistic services are called "Victory at Last".
It is held at another church location
that is overseen by the ministry here.
When I got to the church there was a strange feeling in the air. Nothing was working right. The sound system was messing up, the speakers
were blowing up, the church sound system sparked and caught on fire. Everything was going wrong and there was such
a feeling of unsettledness in the room. The pastor quickly turned the meeting over to
me and I began to preach on “Bringing Down Strongholds”. While I was preaching, demons started
manifesting in people. One lady fell
violently to the floor as the demon cried out, “I am not letting her go, I am not letting her go”. I then walked off the platform and said,
"In the name of Jesus, I command you to come out of her!" Not only did that spirit let her go,
but three others were also delivered and filled with the Holy Ghost! And when the last man was set free the entire meeting
shifted! The sound system came back, joy
came back, freedom came back and souls started coming in church from outside!
I continued preaching as the Spirit of the Lord fell in that service! We started off with about 20 people and ended
up with about 40 people. The Lord
doubled our attendance. As the power of
God fell, the ministers were praying for the people all over the church and the
Holy Ghost was just moving on lives. This
one young man in the back of the church came to the altar with tears in his
eyes and he said, "I have been
seeking the Holy Ghost and I have not received it yet. I want the Holy Ghost!" I
told him that the Holy Ghost was a gift, and since he was already saved all he
had to do is receive the gift. He
said, "I have tried, but I still
have not received.” Then I called
another worker over to me and said, "Take my Bible." So he reached out and took my Bible. So I then said to the young man, "How
hard was it for him to receive the gift that I wanted to give him?" He said, "Not hard, because the gift was
right here and he reached out and took it.”
I said, "That’s right, the gift IS HERE so reach out and take it!"
Before I could finish my sentence the
young man was talking in tongues! He fell
to the floor talking in tongues and when I left he was still at the altar
talking in tongues! The power of God
moved so much it was after midnight and He was still moving. When I left, the people were still in church,
glorifying God. It is a brand new day
for this church and they will never be the same again!
Thank you so much for praying for prayer makes these things possible!
Rev. Sanchez
