Expectations for a great move of God filled our hearts as we walked down a man made wood structure that brought us down the side of a hill onto some boards to get into the boat that would take us down the river.
As the boat traveled down the river, it felt like we stepped back in time. No skyscrapers, no large buildings, no fast food restaurants or malls. Just small communities built close to the river’s edge. We saw men in their boats who were fishing for a living, women sitting on the docks washing clothes while children bathed in the river. A simple yet beautiful life.
The river is quiet but the sounds that fill the air come from the laughter of children and the many types of birds that fly all around. If you happen to look at the water at just the right time, you'll catch a glimpse of the beautiful pink dolphins jumping in the water.
It took us about four hours to get to Requena on the fast boat. If we took the traditional method of transportation, it would've taken us all day to travel there. Thank God for some modern advancement!
When we arrived in Requena, due to the river being low, we had to find a place to doc the boat which ended up being very far from the church. To help us travel faster, we rented motor cars and did our best to get to the church as quickly as possible.
Once we arrived at the church, which is called The Body of Christ Church, we were greeted by Pastor Manuel Pacaya who was very happy to see us. We only had 15 minutes to bring the message and give the altar call because our boat was scheduled to leave in 30 minutes to head back to Nauta. BUT, we were all in good spirits because we knew God did not send us four hours down the Amazon River to be hindered by time.
God gave me a message called, "In Just One Moment" and as I preached it only took a moment for the power of God to fill that little church with His presence!
Teenagers were crying, children filled the doorways from all over the streets and came in seeking God. Believers fell out under the awesome power of the Holy Ghost!
Our time was ending, but God was just beginning to move!
People were being saturated by the Holy Ghost and many spoke in tongues for the first time! Great deliverances and healings were in the house of God. People clapped their hands and shouted as God touched them with his awesome power!
The Pastor of the church just wept and cried because many prayers that he prayed were answered In Just One Moment!
As we started to leave the people were still praying and crying out to God. Mothers were holding their babies with tears flowing from their eyes claiming the promises of God for that next generation.
The Spirit of the Lord moved mightily and with power and it did not take all day – it just took a moment! One moment to call on the name of Jesus! One moment in His awesome presence makes all the difference in the world.
Before I left the church, I looked back one more time and tears filled my eyes as I watched God move on his children. We were all amazed and left that village saying the Lord hath done great and mighty things and It Only Took A Moment!
Thank you for your prayers!
