-
Woo. Our pastors are gone at a legacy we can with their family.
-
The second time is even better. Right here, they're gone with their family.
-
We just pray a blessing on them, that they'd have unity over their
-
family and that they would for generations, they would continue to impact not only
-
culture, but the kingdom, and just that you're the hand of God would
-
be on them and that they would have peace and joy in their time away.
-
And so with that, it's also my pleasure to get to introduce my
-
friend as he comes to preach, and we just asked that you would stand
-
up, lift your arms forward and just pray a blessing. We just lift
-
up Pastor Dennis Santiago, that the anointing of God is on his lips,
-
that it comes out of his mouth and his tongue, and that he actually
-
the Holy Spirit is so so moving through him that he's actually even able to
-
convey things. Is that he doesn't even know he's conveying. And we just
-
thank you for him the man of God he is. We pray a blessing
-
on his family, his wife and his children, and I just say the
-
Glory of God touch him and come and touch us. We are open ear
-
people who are doers of the word. Amen, Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah,
-
hallelujah, hallelujah. Oh Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. As we're doing
-
worship, the Lord highlighted a lady. As I went to the rest to
-
my saw, I saw a lady. She's from the Hispanic community and I
-
think she's wearing a light shirt. If you're if you're part of the Hispanic
-
ministry, can you raise your hand? Okay? There you are, all
-
the way down there in that corner, sitting on the floor. You okay,
-
interpretation is on right. So I I have a word. I have
-
a word from the Lord for you. You can just stay right where you're
-
at. It's okay. So the Lord highlighted you, and he's he's he
-
just showed me your prayers, specific prayer request, and he's heard your prayer.
-
He's heard your prayer. He's saying, arise and shine for the light
-
of the Lord has come upon you. So I'm just gonna ask Jackie if
-
you can just embrace her right now. Yes, this is your time,
-
this is your season. You're here and you're sitting in that corner and you
-
seem to be hiding. But the Lord sees you and he loves you,
-
and he's lifting you up and he's planting you and you are not alone.
-
He is the lifter. He is the lifter of your face. Yeah,
-
in Jesus' name. And then I was also sensing pain around the knee,
-
on the left knee. I don't know if anybody here has pain. Okay,
-
on your knee. Would you guys just stand with me and let's just
-
believe God for something wild like just what he does. Craig was saying,
-

For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my
-
Father in Heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on

Amen. So, so we're talking about we're gonna be talking about Super
-
Bowl Sunday today. Thank you Drew so much. You're awesome, bro.
-
You're helping me with the piano there, man, thank you so much.
-
And thinking about Super both Sunday and what Elder Craig was talking about the excitement
-
that is, you know, the hype, like everybody's like, well,
-
superbol you know, there's there's even like prophetic words and everything that are out
-
there, you know, and you know, God is on the move.
-
He's doing great things. And here we are, you know, it's Super
-
Bowl Sunday, and I just saying strongly that that the Lord is building up
-
the Lord is building us up to really be able to rally around the things
-
that he is doing, to be able to rally around the things that he
-
is doing. Like he's so desiring a partnership. He's sole desiring he's so
-
desiring that that we come into agreement that the same way that there's like all
-
this preparation that's being put in place for this event to happen. Like the
-
police department for what is it Nevada? Is it Nevada where they're having Yeah,
-
like they had you know, like a whole explanation on how they're partnering,
-
right, what the things that are that are that they're doing, that
-
they're putting into place to protect people, to protect the city. They're talking
-
about like even against human trafficking. How they have special squads right and everything,
-
Like they're getting all of the resources and they're gathering they're gathering forces for
-
this event, right. And so that's the police department. The mayor of
-
the of the of Nevada or the governor. He went on the press and
-
he's talking about, you know, assuring the safety and this is gonna be
-
great, and we have everybody in place, we have resources in place,
-
you know, this is gonna be an amazing super ball, safe, this,
-
that, and the other. And people are kind of like whoa,
-
Like, let's go, I'm gonna go. It's gonna be safe, there's
-
gonna be all these things happening. It's gonna be great and amazing, right
-
because they're fans, they like the sport, they like the game. And
-
then in addition to that, I looked at prices just you know, just
-
to think on myself, you know, and like ha ha, and it's
-
like, what in the world are people paying for a game? Oh my
-
goodness, wow. But then God was helping me think about this and understand,
-
like people are willing to pay a high price. People are willing to
-
pay to rally around what they believe, to rally around what they who they
-
cheer for and what they're like rooting for or like eight grand just to like
-
the ball just goes here and there and a bunch of dudes hitting themselves.
-
I mean, if we're talking about baseball, you know that's different because you
-
know, I all right, but still, like everybody's rallying around, like
-
the people that bought tickets earlier, they're reselling and it's ridiculous. Even our
-
Resell is still like off the hook, right, and so all these things
-
are happening, and I'm like, yeah, so the Lord is kind of
-
like just highlighting you know, that there is a generation that is rising up
-
like the times that we're living right now. The Body of Christ is coming
-
together. There is such and out pouring of unity in the Body of Christ
-
that people, okay, like this is between me and God. We were
-
just joking around and I'm like, okay, God, I'm just gonna tell
-
him in the next Book of Acts and then you know, I'm gonna go
-
from there. And so that was a joke between him and I and I,
-
you know, the next chapter in the Book of Acts. But I
-
believe that we're truly living in those days, Like I just sense like I'm
-
walking around and I'm seeing and there's all these things happening, you know,
-
and we're doing our stuff, we're doing school, we're doing work, we're
-
doing this and that and the other. But there's something in the atmosphere.
-
There's there's a drawing near from the Lord to bring the body together, and
-
there's such a unity. There's like there's a ship that's occurring, and you
-
and I get to be a part of that. You and I get to
-
walk out the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. And so I was thinking,
-
like the prophets would talk about, you know, the Kingdom of Heaven.
-
And then Jesus came, the Kingdom came, and he talked about the Kingdom
-
of Heaven, and the Kingdom of Heaven is still coming. And I'm like
-
thinking about this because it's still it's still being manifested. All the way into
-
the fullness. All the way into the fullness of the Kingdom of Heaven on
-
earth happens. And so you and I get to live in like the most
-
exciting time ever in the history of the world, because we've already seen what
-
God can do. We've already seen what all those people that were murdered.
-
There were martidrez, there were martyrs. I was around there. It was
-
close right good. And then remember if I can't say it in English or
-
in Spanish, is you're gonna get tongues, all right, okay? And
-
so like all these people went before us and they paved the way right so
-
that we could be here, right here in the city of Fife, in
-
the place that is called the flute that brings and calls the warriors into action.
-
Oh my goodness, holle lujah, super Bowl Sunday, Jesus. And
-
so God is so good because Angela is like, Dennis, you need to
-
get me the determined title so I can get this graphic done for you.
-
I said, Angela is super Bowl Sunday. She's like, I know,
-
but I need the title. It's Super Bowl Sunday. And they had this
-
beautiful dove and it's like, like I text the other stuff too, you
-
know where. Anyways, but the point is that that God, God is
-
on the move. He's doing some amazing things. And I was sensing really
-
strong how the Lord is just wanting to baptize us afresh. And just like
-
when Jesus, right when Jesus was getting baptized and the dove descended, just
-
like right here right now, I just sensed like the Father is just so
-
pleased that he's just wanting all of his children to walk in the same power
-
and in the same authority that Jesus walked in. And so even right now
-
for us that are sitting here today in the expectation of Super Bowl Sunday,
-
we're doing some prep work. The Lord, the Spirit of God, has
-
committed himself to help build us up to the moment that we're experiencing right now,
-
because there's something greater that he's releasing for the body of Christ to be
-
able to celebrate big, big, big time as well. So it's not
-
like we're getting ready to celebrate in the future. There is a continuation of
-
the expansion of the Kingdom of God on earth, and as that happens,
-
we continue to celebrate. So it's like we go from party. I see
-
this beautiful, wonderful lady shaking her hand right there. Yet we go from
-
party to party to party to party, hallelujah. Brother Moses back in Uganda,
-
he said, we go party after party hallelujah. Love you Amen.
-
They also watch her line hallelujah, And so I'm like, okay, Lord,
-
that's so good, because sometimes we get busy with everything that we're doing
-
in the daily life and we forget and we forget just to be able to
-
think of the goodness of God even in very simple moments in life, just
-
very simple moments in life, like we're going to the courtroom too. You
-
know, I don't go to the courtroom for anything. But anyways, on
-
another note, well, we go to the grocery store. We go to
-
the grocery store. Hallelujah, the grocery store, right, and we're just
-
sharing God's goodness, you know, like, oh, my goodness, this
-
pineapple is so amazing. God is so good. And then somebody passes by
-
you and you know, you just say, you know what, God just
-
wants you to taste and see that He is so good. We're doing prophetic
-
activity. You started it. You said, the conference is not over,
-
so we're gonna continue with what the Lord is doing right now. And so
-
yeah, so in our daily life, in our daily life, and so
-
during the conference, I got this little clicker thing that Steve Beckland tossed over
-
here, and it's just been really helping me. It's really been helping me.
-
And the Lord knows because you know, I pray and I'm like,
-
Lord, I want to be able to grow more. I want to be
-
able to grow in humility. I want to be able to grow and like
-
just declaring and loving people and all that stuff right that He just wants for
-
us. And so you know, that's my heart's prayer. And then here
-
comes you know, this guy, and he just throw this at me right,
-
and immediately when that happened. It was like, you know, like
-
God was reminding me here, this tool that I'm giving you right now is
-
gonna help you even more. This is an answer to your prayer. So
-
sometimes we think, you know, we're just throwing a shirt. Sometimes,
-
you know, we think we're just you know, this a book, you
-
know here, or something like that. But the Lord is He's orchestrating a
-
whole thing behind what he's doing that we don't even realize and know many times
-
before, right until we're experiencing that. So Jesus has committed himself to build
-
his church, and when he says that he's building his church, he will
-
build his church. He is building his church right and it says that gates
-
of hell will not prevail. But when we that a little bit further,
-
I think immediately when I first used to see this verse, it's like,
-
you know, it's like, oh, like like the church is over here.
-
Oh and then you know, like against the church, like this really
-
strong interaction, like you know, we're barely just like you know, a
-
few steps back and then a few steps forward. But in actuality, what
-
is being said here has a greater implication than just like a little tug of
-
war type of thing, and so it's not even a match. Basically,
-
it's not even comparable. It's not even like like the Kingdom of Darkness could
-
never take over or hinder or stop the Church from getting built. It's like
-
the God Almighty himself has committed to build you up in such a way that
-
you will be able to stand firm in the middle of the storm, that
-
you will be able to stand firm, and the enemy just has to flee
-
like you just stand firm, Like okay, Well, God told me to
-
stand firm. God told me to trust him. God told me that he's
-
building me. God told me that he's working with me. I'm coming into
-
agreement with what he said. And then all of a sudden, the enemy
-
just says, WHOA. So so it's not even like this, ugh like
-
a struggle. So we just cancel the lie of the enemy that says that
-
we're barely making it. We cancel that right now in Jesus name, Yes,
-
Lord, and I have a couple of stories that I want to is
-
that twelve thirty over twelve thirty five. Don't worry, I have like two
-
hours left. If the time is, the game doesn't start till three right,
-
Okay, all right, let's finish. So I just got a couple
-
of stories that I wanted to share of just like what God is doing,
-
like right now. We want to be encouraged because sometimes we think sometimes we
-
think, you know, well it's just me, you know, I'm the
-
only one in my family that's saved, you know, and it's like sometimes
-
we think, oh, man, well I'm the only one that saved in
-
my job or whatever the case may be, right, And so I want
-
to encourage you today, so really quick, just in the so here's some
-
some things that have been happening around here just over the last since twenty twenty
-
three, twenty twenty four year, just in this year that passed till today,
-
well till Wednesday, when we heard more of these testimonies over five family
-
least. So this is just like this, you know, twenty twenty three,
-
right over five families we prayed for. There were there were different circumstances
-
that said that this could not happen. Okay, like this is there's a
-
huge probability that this is not going to go through. But this is what
-
the Lord has done. So over the okay, five families have received their
-
legal status and working papers. And since we started the food bank a few
-
years ago, it's a total of fifteen families. Yes, come on,
-
God, do it, do it? Lord? Okay, so good news.
-
There's a guy that plays football and I have his name here, and
-
I'm gonna say it right this time. Forty nine Ers quarterback brock Perty all
-
right, he credits Jesus for Super Bowl. For Super Bowl run, win
-
or lose, I'm gonna glorify you. San Francisco quarterback completed twenty of thirty
-
one passes for two hundred and sixty seven yards and one touchdown, helping the
-
forty nine Ers rally from a twenty four to seven defeat to defeat Detroit thirty
-
four to thirty one. San Francisco will play Kansas City in the Super Bowl,
-
right, all right? And so okay, party will be the third
-
youngest quarterback to start the Super Bowl. Okay, that's the guy that just
-
declared Jesus. He will be the third youngest waterback to start a Super Bowl.
-
Okay. His rise to success story has captivated fans and NFL observers.
-
He was the very last pick in the twenty twenty two NFL draft. Okay,
-
quite literally the last pick. So of two hundred and sixty two,
-
guess what number he made, two hundred and sixty two. Absolutely yes,
-
and so he says, and so he says, nevertheless, right, he
-
has guided the forty nine ers to two straight NFC title Games appearances. Purdy
-
was asked in a news conference to reflect on his football journey, and this
-
is what he says. I honestly think this is a testament to God and
-
where He's taken me in life. I've never been the biggest, nor the
-
fastest, nor the strongest of any or any of that set pruiting. Who's
-
six feet one inch and what is he doing for the Lord? Oh my
-
goodness. So this guy right is doing amazing things where God has placed him
-
and given him authority over and so as he releases the word of the Lord
-
to the NFL players, they're coming, they're gathering, and they're telling they're
-
cheering him up, like, hey man, thank you for sharing, thank
-
you for sharing your faith openly. We could do that in the United States,
-
you know, yes, yes, our fathers, the forefathers right of
-
this country, they actually you know, fought and make sure that that's something
-
that we can proud this, by the way, in twenty twenty four is
-
still a thing. Thank you Jesus. And so as I read that short
-
story and that testimony of what Jesus is doing, I just release. The
-
meek and humble are rising up. I just released that promotion comes from the
-
Lord. Okay. So like, so here's one more story and then we'll
-
be done. Okay, we'll be done. I should just stop right now.
-
I'm just gonna read the Word of God. So here this is Matthew
-
five, verse fifteen. Blessed are the humble, for they shall inherit the
-
earth Psalm thirty seventy three. The humble shall inherit the Earth First Chronicles twenty
-
nine eleven. You, oh Lord, it's the greatness, the power,
-
and the glory, the victory and the majesty for all that is in heaven
-
and in earth, it's yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,
-
and you are exalted as head over all in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. I'm
-
gonna invite you to stand with me this afternoon. What am I saying today,
-
I'm let's sum it up. What I'm saying is that there is a
-
kingdom that is advancing at the speed of light. What I'm saying is that
-
the government is on the shoulders of Jesus, and you and I are walking
-
this out. What I'm saying is that we will remain on the move as
-
God's people, as God's mighty army, that we will continue to push back
-
darkness in Jesus' name. That we are ruling and reigning in Christ, Jesus,
-
because Jesus is the king of kings and the Lord of lords. Therefore,
-
the gates of hell cannot prevail. The gates of hell are not even
-
a match against you, because you are a son and a daughter of the
-
Almighty God. So, Father, this afternoon, we just bless you.
-
We thank you for the fresh baptism, the fresh baptism of fire that is
-
being released over our lives. Lord, over the body of Christ. I
-
just thank you, Father God, that our passion, that all of our
-
passion, Father God, is being expressed to you. That we completely rely,
-
that we completely trust, that we take that we take on the open
-
invitation to walk in humility, That walking in humility looks like miracle, signs
-
and wonders following us as we speak, Your goodness, Lord, that Lord,
-
that the same power. The rose Jesus from the dead lives in us.
-
And we are so humble. We are so humble that we put aside
-
our own thoughts that we put aside, Father God, what we think should
-
be done, that we put aside our own agendas, and we just say,
-
humbly, Lord, let your will be done on earth as it is
-
in heaven. Continue to build me up, Father God, Continue to shape
-
me up. Hallelujah. Continue to build my character. Lord, Continue to
-
strengthen me to be the husband, to be the father, to be the
-
leader, to be the world transformer that you have called us to be.
-
Father God. Yeah, the kingdom has come. The Kingdom is here.
-
The Kingdom will be manifested in His fullness as we walk this out in Jesus
-
name. And the King, our Lord Jesus will not be the knight.
-
The crown. Come on the King Jesus, hallelujah, will receive the full
-
reward. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Oh thank you Jesus. Because the sons and
-
daughters that we are, we are rising up in our identity in Him,
-
and we just receive we just received the building up, the encouragement, the
-
strengthening, we receive in Jesus' name what the Lord will have us do.
-
I just say, right now, in Jesus' name, sons and daughters are
-
stepping into the calling that God has for them. I say, right now
-
in Jesus' name, More and more people are reaching back out to you in
-
thanksgiving as you openly and boldly share the good news of Jesus in your life.
-
Yes, Lord, I believe that our children will see, hear,
-
and speak from the Lord even more. Even as the kids are back there
-
right now learning and at being activated in the prophetic, I just say,
-
they see more, they speak more in Jesus' name, that we would honor
-
and we would lift up and continue to encourage and receive the word of the
-
Lord from our children. In Jesus' name, I pray that they will find
-
and call out the hidden treasures that the enemy has tried to cover up in
-
the rubble. In Jesus' name and Father, I just thank you today.
-
I just thank you Lord for your faithfulness. I thank you for your goodness.
-
I thank you that the meek and the humble are rising up, and
-
that you are promoting your children, Lord even the more in every sphere of
-
influence for your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray, and we y'all
-
say amen and Amen. It's Super Bowl Sunday. Be baptized afresh, be
-
encouraged, be strengthening the Lord. Hallelujah, and praise the Lord as we
-
leave, hallelujah.
