  1. Woo. Our pastors are gone at a legacy we can with their family.

  2. The second time is even better. Right here, they're gone with their family.

  3. We just pray a blessing on them, that they'd have unity over their

  4. family and that they would for generations, they would continue to impact not only

  5. culture, but the kingdom, and just that you're the hand of God would

  6. be on them and that they would have peace and joy in their time away.

  7. And so with that, it's also my pleasure to get to introduce my

  8. friend as he comes to preach, and we just asked that you would stand

  9. up, lift your arms forward and just pray a blessing. We just lift

  10. up Pastor Dennis Santiago, that the anointing of God is on his lips,

  11. that it comes out of his mouth and his tongue, and that he actually

  12. the Holy Spirit is so so moving through him that he's actually even able to

  13. convey things. Is that he doesn't even know he's conveying. And we just

  14. thank you for him the man of God he is. We pray a blessing

  15. on his family, his wife and his children, and I just say the

  19. worship, the Lord highlighted a lady. As I went to the rest to

  20. my saw, I saw a lady. She's from the Hispanic community and I

  21. think she's wearing a light shirt. If you're if you're part of the Hispanic

  89. that we treasure it. Lord, We thank you in Jesus' name. Amen.

  90. Amen. So, so we're talking about we're gonna be talking about Super

  91. Bowl Sunday today. Thank you Drew so much. You're awesome, bro.

  92. You're helping me with the piano there, man, thank you so much.

  93. And thinking about Super both Sunday and what Elder Craig was talking about the excitement

  94. that is, you know, the hype, like everybody's like, well,

  95. superbol you know, there's there's even like prophetic words and everything that are out

  96. there, you know, and you know, God is on the move.

  97. He's doing great things. And here we are, you know, it's Super

  98. Bowl Sunday, and I just saying strongly that that the Lord is building up

  99. the Lord is building us up to really be able to rally around the things

  100. that he is doing, to be able to rally around the things that he

  101. is doing. Like he's so desiring a partnership. He's sole desiring he's so

  102. desiring that that we come into agreement that the same way that there's like all

  103. this preparation that's being put in place for this event to happen. Like the

  104. police department for what is it Nevada? Is it Nevada where they're having Yeah,

  105. like they had you know, like a whole explanation on how they're partnering,

  106. right, what the things that are that are that they're doing, that

  107. they're putting into place to protect people, to protect the city. They're talking

  108. about like even against human trafficking. How they have special squads right and everything,

  109. Like they're getting all of the resources and they're gathering they're gathering forces for

  110. this event, right. And so that's the police department. The mayor of

  111. the of the of Nevada or the governor. He went on the press and

  112. he's talking about, you know, assuring the safety and this is gonna be

  113. great, and we have everybody in place, we have resources in place,

  114. you know, this is gonna be an amazing super ball, safe, this,

  115. that, and the other. And people are kind of like whoa,

  116. Like, let's go, I'm gonna go. It's gonna be safe, there's

  117. gonna be all these things happening. It's gonna be great and amazing, right

  118. because they're fans, they like the sport, they like the game. And

  119. then in addition to that, I looked at prices just you know, just

  120. to think on myself, you know, and like ha ha, and it's

  121. like, what in the world are people paying for a game? Oh my

  122. goodness, wow. But then God was helping me think about this and understand,

  123. like people are willing to pay a high price. People are willing to

  124. pay to rally around what they believe, to rally around what they who they

  125. cheer for and what they're like rooting for or like eight grand just to like

  126. the ball just goes here and there and a bunch of dudes hitting themselves.

  127. I mean, if we're talking about baseball, you know that's different because you

  128. know, I all right, but still, like everybody's rallying around, like

  129. the people that bought tickets earlier, they're reselling and it's ridiculous. Even our

  130. Resell is still like off the hook, right, and so all these things

  131. are happening, and I'm like, yeah, so the Lord is kind of

  132. like just highlighting you know, that there is a generation that is rising up

  133. like the times that we're living right now. The Body of Christ is coming

  134. together. There is such and out pouring of unity in the Body of Christ

  135. that people, okay, like this is between me and God. We were

  136. just joking around and I'm like, okay, God, I'm just gonna tell

  137. him in the next Book of Acts and then you know, I'm gonna go

  138. from there. And so that was a joke between him and I and I,

  139. you know, the next chapter in the Book of Acts. But I

  140. believe that we're truly living in those days, Like I just sense like I'm

  141. walking around and I'm seeing and there's all these things happening, you know,

  142. and we're doing our stuff, we're doing school, we're doing work, we're

  143. doing this and that and the other. But there's something in the atmosphere.

  144. There's there's a drawing near from the Lord to bring the body together, and

  145. there's such a unity. There's like there's a ship that's occurring, and you

  146. and I get to be a part of that. You and I get to

  147. walk out the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. And so I was thinking,

  148. like the prophets would talk about, you know, the Kingdom of Heaven.

  149. And then Jesus came, the Kingdom came, and he talked about the Kingdom

  150. of Heaven, and the Kingdom of Heaven is still coming. And I'm like

  151. thinking about this because it's still it's still being manifested. All the way into

  152. the fullness. All the way into the fullness of the Kingdom of Heaven on

  153. earth happens. And so you and I get to live in like the most

  154. exciting time ever in the history of the world, because we've already seen what

  155. God can do. We've already seen what all those people that were murdered.

  156. There were martidrez, there were martyrs. I was around there. It was

  157. close right good. And then remember if I can't say it in English or

  158. in Spanish, is you're gonna get tongues, all right, okay? And

  159. so like all these people went before us and they paved the way right so

  160. that we could be here, right here in the city of Fife, in

  161. the place that is called the flute that brings and calls the warriors into action.

  162. Oh my goodness, holle lujah, super Bowl Sunday, Jesus. And

  163. so God is so good because Angela is like, Dennis, you need to

  164. get me the determined title so I can get this graphic done for you.

  165. I said, Angela is super Bowl Sunday. She's like, I know,

  166. but I need the title. It's Super Bowl Sunday. And they had this

  167. beautiful dove and it's like, like I text the other stuff too, you

  168. know where. Anyways, but the point is that that God, God is

  169. on the move. He's doing some amazing things. And I was sensing really

  170. strong how the Lord is just wanting to baptize us afresh. And just like

  171. when Jesus, right when Jesus was getting baptized and the dove descended, just

  172. like right here right now, I just sensed like the Father is just so

  173. pleased that he's just wanting all of his children to walk in the same power

  174. and in the same authority that Jesus walked in. And so even right now

  175. for us that are sitting here today in the expectation of Super Bowl Sunday,

  176. we're doing some prep work. The Lord, the Spirit of God, has

  177. committed himself to help build us up to the moment that we're experiencing right now,

  178. because there's something greater that he's releasing for the body of Christ to be

  179. able to celebrate big, big, big time as well. So it's not

  180. like we're getting ready to celebrate in the future. There is a continuation of

  181. the expansion of the Kingdom of God on earth, and as that happens,

  182. we continue to celebrate. So it's like we go from party. I see

  183. this beautiful, wonderful lady shaking her hand right there. Yet we go from

  184. party to party to party to party, hallelujah. Brother Moses back in Uganda,

  185. he said, we go party after party hallelujah. Love you Amen.

  186. They also watch her line hallelujah, And so I'm like, okay, Lord,

  187. that's so good, because sometimes we get busy with everything that we're doing

  188. in the daily life and we forget and we forget just to be able to

  189. think of the goodness of God even in very simple moments in life, just

  190. very simple moments in life, like we're going to the courtroom too. You

  191. know, I don't go to the courtroom for anything. But anyways, on

  192. another note, well, we go to the grocery store. We go to

  193. the grocery store. Hallelujah, the grocery store, right, and we're just

  194. sharing God's goodness, you know, like, oh, my goodness, this

  195. pineapple is so amazing. God is so good. And then somebody passes by

  196. you and you know, you just say, you know what, God just

  197. wants you to taste and see that He is so good. We're doing prophetic

  198. activity. You started it. You said, the conference is not over,

  199. so we're gonna continue with what the Lord is doing right now. And so

  200. yeah, so in our daily life, in our daily life, and so

  201. during the conference, I got this little clicker thing that Steve Beckland tossed over

  202. here, and it's just been really helping me. It's really been helping me.

  203. And the Lord knows because you know, I pray and I'm like,

  204. Lord, I want to be able to grow more. I want to be

  205. able to grow in humility. I want to be able to grow and like

  206. just declaring and loving people and all that stuff right that He just wants for

  207. us. And so you know, that's my heart's prayer. And then here

  208. comes you know, this guy, and he just throw this at me right,

  209. and immediately when that happened. It was like, you know, like

  210. God was reminding me here, this tool that I'm giving you right now is

  211. gonna help you even more. This is an answer to your prayer. So

  212. sometimes we think, you know, we're just throwing a shirt. Sometimes,

  213. you know, we think we're just you know, this a book, you

  214. know here, or something like that. But the Lord is He's orchestrating a

  215. whole thing behind what he's doing that we don't even realize and know many times

  216. before, right until we're experiencing that. So Jesus has committed himself to build

  217. his church, and when he says that he's building his church, he will

  218. build his church. He is building his church right and it says that gates

  219. of hell will not prevail. But when we that a little bit further,

  220. I think immediately when I first used to see this verse, it's like,

  221. you know, it's like, oh, like like the church is over here.

  222. Oh and then you know, like against the church, like this really

  223. strong interaction, like you know, we're barely just like you know, a

  224. few steps back and then a few steps forward. But in actuality, what

  225. is being said here has a greater implication than just like a little tug of

  226. war type of thing, and so it's not even a match. Basically,

  227. it's not even comparable. It's not even like like the Kingdom of Darkness could

  228. never take over or hinder or stop the Church from getting built. It's like

  229. the God Almighty himself has committed to build you up in such a way that

  230. you will be able to stand firm in the middle of the storm, that

  231. you will be able to stand firm, and the enemy just has to flee

  232. like you just stand firm, Like okay, Well, God told me to

  233. stand firm. God told me to trust him. God told me that he's

  234. building me. God told me that he's working with me. I'm coming into

  235. agreement with what he said. And then all of a sudden, the enemy

  236. just says, WHOA. So so it's not even like this, ugh like

  237. a struggle. So we just cancel the lie of the enemy that says that

  238. we're barely making it. We cancel that right now in Jesus name, Yes,

  239. Lord, and I have a couple of stories that I want to is

  240. that twelve thirty over twelve thirty five. Don't worry, I have like two

  241. hours left. If the time is, the game doesn't start till three right,

  242. Okay, all right, let's finish. So I just got a couple

  243. of stories that I wanted to share of just like what God is doing,

  244. like right now. We want to be encouraged because sometimes we think sometimes we

  245. think, you know, well it's just me, you know, I'm the

  246. only one in my family that's saved, you know, and it's like sometimes

  247. we think, oh, man, well I'm the only one that saved in

  248. my job or whatever the case may be, right, And so I want

  249. to encourage you today, so really quick, just in the so here's some

  250. some things that have been happening around here just over the last since twenty twenty

  251. three, twenty twenty four year, just in this year that passed till today,

  252. well till Wednesday, when we heard more of these testimonies over five family

  253. least. So this is just like this, you know, twenty twenty three,

  254. right over five families we prayed for. There were there were different circumstances

  255. that said that this could not happen. Okay, like this is there's a

  256. huge probability that this is not going to go through. But this is what

  257. the Lord has done. So over the okay, five families have received their

  258. legal status and working papers. And since we started the food bank a few

  259. years ago, it's a total of fifteen families. Yes, come on,

  260. God, do it, do it? Lord? Okay, so good news.

  261. There's a guy that plays football and I have his name here, and

  262. I'm gonna say it right this time. Forty nine Ers quarterback brock Perty all

  263. right, he credits Jesus for Super Bowl. For Super Bowl run, win

  264. or lose, I'm gonna glorify you. San Francisco quarterback completed twenty of thirty

  265. one passes for two hundred and sixty seven yards and one touchdown, helping the

  266. forty nine Ers rally from a twenty four to seven defeat to defeat Detroit thirty

  267. four to thirty one. San Francisco will play Kansas City in the Super Bowl,

  268. right, all right? And so okay, party will be the third

  269. youngest quarterback to start the Super Bowl. Okay, that's the guy that just

  270. declared Jesus. He will be the third youngest waterback to start a Super Bowl.

  271. Okay. His rise to success story has captivated fans and NFL observers.

  272. He was the very last pick in the twenty twenty two NFL draft. Okay,

  273. quite literally the last pick. So of two hundred and sixty two,

  274. guess what number he made, two hundred and sixty two. Absolutely yes,

  275. and so he says, and so he says, nevertheless, right, he

  276. has guided the forty nine ers to two straight NFC title Games appearances. Purdy

  277. was asked in a news conference to reflect on his football journey, and this

  278. is what he says. I honestly think this is a testament to God and

  279. where He's taken me in life. I've never been the biggest, nor the

  280. fastest, nor the strongest of any or any of that set pruiting. Who's

  281. six feet one inch and what is he doing for the Lord? Oh my

  282. goodness. So this guy right is doing amazing things where God has placed him

  283. and given him authority over and so as he releases the word of the Lord

  284. to the NFL players, they're coming, they're gathering, and they're telling they're

  285. cheering him up, like, hey man, thank you for sharing, thank

  286. you for sharing your faith openly. We could do that in the United States,

  287. you know, yes, yes, our fathers, the forefathers right of

  288. this country, they actually you know, fought and make sure that that's something

  289. that we can proud this, by the way, in twenty twenty four is

  290. still a thing. Thank you Jesus. And so as I read that short

  291. story and that testimony of what Jesus is doing, I just release. The

  292. meek and humble are rising up. I just released that promotion comes from the

  293. Lord. Okay. So like, so here's one more story and then we'll

  294. be done. Okay, we'll be done. I should just stop right now.

  295. I'm just gonna read the Word of God. So here this is Matthew

  296. five, verse fifteen. Blessed are the humble, for they shall inherit the

  297. earth Psalm thirty seventy three. The humble shall inherit the Earth First Chronicles twenty

  298. nine eleven. You, oh Lord, it's the greatness, the power,

  299. and the glory, the victory and the majesty for all that is in heaven

  300. and in earth, it's yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,

  301. and you are exalted as head over all in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. I'm

  302. gonna invite you to stand with me this afternoon. What am I saying today,

  303. I'm let's sum it up. What I'm saying is that there is a

  304. kingdom that is advancing at the speed of light. What I'm saying is that

  305. the government is on the shoulders of Jesus, and you and I are walking

  306. this out. What I'm saying is that we will remain on the move as

  307. God's people, as God's mighty army, that we will continue to push back

  308. darkness in Jesus' name. That we are ruling and reigning in Christ, Jesus,

  309. because Jesus is the king of kings and the Lord of lords. Therefore,

  310. the gates of hell cannot prevail. The gates of hell are not even

  311. a match against you, because you are a son and a daughter of the

  312. Almighty God. So, Father, this afternoon, we just bless you.

  313. We thank you for the fresh baptism, the fresh baptism of fire that is

  314. being released over our lives. Lord, over the body of Christ. I

  315. just thank you, Father God, that our passion, that all of our

  316. passion, Father God, is being expressed to you. That we completely rely,

  317. that we completely trust, that we take that we take on the open

  318. invitation to walk in humility, That walking in humility looks like miracle, signs

  319. and wonders following us as we speak, Your goodness, Lord, that Lord,

  320. that the same power. The rose Jesus from the dead lives in us.

  321. And we are so humble. We are so humble that we put aside

  322. our own thoughts that we put aside, Father God, what we think should

  323. be done, that we put aside our own agendas, and we just say,

  324. humbly, Lord, let your will be done on earth as it is

  325. in heaven. Continue to build me up, Father God, Continue to shape

  326. me up. Hallelujah. Continue to build my character. Lord, Continue to

  327. strengthen me to be the husband, to be the father, to be the

  328. leader, to be the world transformer that you have called us to be.

  329. Father God. Yeah, the kingdom has come. The Kingdom is here.

  330. The Kingdom will be manifested in His fullness as we walk this out in Jesus

  331. name. And the King, our Lord Jesus will not be the knight.

  332. The crown. Come on the King Jesus, hallelujah, will receive the full

  333. reward. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Oh thank you Jesus. Because the sons and

  334. daughters that we are, we are rising up in our identity in Him,

  335. and we just receive we just received the building up, the encouragement, the

  336. strengthening, we receive in Jesus' name what the Lord will have us do.

  337. I just say, right now, in Jesus' name, sons and daughters are

  338. stepping into the calling that God has for them. I say, right now

  339. in Jesus' name, More and more people are reaching back out to you in

  340. thanksgiving as you openly and boldly share the good news of Jesus in your life.

  341. Yes, Lord, I believe that our children will see, hear,

  342. and speak from the Lord even more. Even as the kids are back there

  343. right now learning and at being activated in the prophetic, I just say,

  344. they see more, they speak more in Jesus' name, that we would honor

  345. and we would lift up and continue to encourage and receive the word of the

  346. Lord from our children. In Jesus' name, I pray that they will find

  347. and call out the hidden treasures that the enemy has tried to cover up in

  348. the rubble. In Jesus' name and Father, I just thank you today.

  349. I just thank you Lord for your faithfulness. I thank you for your goodness.

  350. I thank you that the meek and the humble are rising up, and

  351. that you are promoting your children, Lord even the more in every sphere of

  352. influence for your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray, and we y'all

  353. say amen and Amen. It's Super Bowl Sunday. Be baptized afresh, be

  354. encouraged, be strengthening the Lord. Hallelujah, and praise the Lord as we

  355. leave, hallelujah.
