>> male announcer: The "Believer's Walk of Faith" is paid for by Bill Winston Ministries' partners and viewers. >> Bill Winston: Jesus came and introduced a new system called the kingdom of God. It's a government that's set up to meet every need that a person would have independent of what's happening in this earthly economy. >> Bill: "Therefore I say unto you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life." >> Bill: No longer do you have to bear the weight of your own provision. I'm telling you, you don't have to earn a living. Your living has already been earned by Jesus Christ, so your labor is not in overtime! It's in the Word of God! Everything changes when the kingdom comes, and the kingdom has come inside of you. >> Bill: Jesus said, "What I hear I speak," "What I hear," come on, "I speak." You don't need to think of nothin'. You come to a rest. You don't need no "What I hear I speak." God told us when we were living with Sister Beverly here, had just come here, and we lived with her almost 7 months and so forth, we were tryin' to get out of that house. We were tryin' to get our own apartment. We saved up a little money, $500, $600, and so forth and so on. And the enemy come. The car break down and so forth. Notice we couldn't get out of the house naturally, so now we gonna have to get a gospel solution. Now we gonna have to go and hear the voice of God. So I went on a 3 to move God but to move me. I had to get my flesh out of the way so that I can hear the Father, and he said this to me, "One, slow down. Next, listen for God. Third, listen to God. Fourth, act, and do what he says." He said, "Now decree what you want," and I heard in my spirit, "You'll be out in 7 days." Here's what I said, "I'll be outta here in 7 days." Now when I said that it came out of my spirit, so my mind argued with me, but I got to keep my confidence in God. I said, "Yes, I'll be outta here in 7 days." See, whenever you are in trouble, Jesus comes to you. Whenever we are going through something, the Father is always praying for you. So what happened then is I said, "Seven days." Six days came, and my wife and I at some places." She'd say, "Where are we goin'?" I said, "Well, I'm not sure where we're goin', but we are outta here in 6 days." Okay, she didn't say anything. Went on the 5th day and so forth, startin' lookin' at some places again. No, that's the right. No, that's not one building, and it was a nice, luxury apartment building. My son was small. He was asleep on the back seat. He lifted up and said, "We gonna live right there." I said, "Shut up, boy. Just lay down," 'cause I knew I didn't have no right to have provision, see? But God's got you covered. See, all he wants you to do is believe. This is comin' by faith, not by your job. Your job can't afford what God wants to do for you! [cheering and applauding] So what happened was the 5th day, the 4th day, and then I said, "Well, we're comin' outta here in 4 days." "Where we goin', sweetheart?" I said, "Baby, I don't know where we goin'." "Where are we goin', sweetheart?" I saw some tears come to her eyes. Now what was happening? Satan was putting pressure on her. I'm talkin' about when you get down to your provision, when the door is about to swing open, I'm telling you pressure comes on you! And if the doctor said something that don't agree with that Word, I don't care what medical school he came from! The answer is gonna be, "By his stripes!" [cheering and applauding] I thank God for them that they can diagnose things and so forth, but let me tell ya how faith works! Faith will bring what is in heaven and superimpose it over your life! Now I'm not coming against our professionals. They've been trained that way, but I need a gospel solution. I need to get out of this situation that I'm in. Say, "Amen." And that door is there. "There is no temptation taken you," 1 Corinthians chapter 10, verse 13. "There is no temptation taken you but such as common to man: but God who is faithful will not suffer you to be tempted, tested, or tried above that that you are able; but will with the temptation always make a way to escape." I'm telling you that the door is a door of faith. You've got to open the door of faith, and you've got to decree a thing. Boy, ya'll got me preachin' here this last service. Hey, hey, hey, hey! [cheering and applauding] Sit down. So what am I sayin'? Next thing I know we came back to that apartment that David pointed at. How many of you know little children will lead them, why? 'Cause it takes childlike faith. It takes that old faith that's crazy. It takes that old faith that's not based on how long I've been workin' at this job and on got and how much education I've received. It takes faith in God. We went there. Long story short, the lady said, "Okay, we'll move you in. Which one do you want? This big one or that one?" And because our faith was teetering, I chose the smaller one. See, God wants to give you something that the world will know God gave it. [cheering and applauding] So she said, "You have any furniture? We can move that in on Tuesday." I said, "Furniture?" I looked at my wife. She said, "No furniture?" I said, "No, we sold it all." She said, "Well, we got plenty of furniture in the model apartments in the basement. We'll just give you that till you get yourself one." From one miracle to another. I'm not saying that's the way God treats you, but I opened the door to supernatural provision, and the way I did it was I had to say something. I had to say something, folks. I had to believe him and decree it. What else did Jesus do that he wants us to do? Let's look at Mark chapter 9, please. Mark chapter 9, verse 18, this is the boy that came and was brought to Jesus, brought to the disciples to cast a devil out of him, but they couldn't. And look what he said, "'And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him; and he foameth and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to your disciples that they should cast him out; but they could not.' Jesus answered and said, 'O faithless generation, how long do I have to be with you?'" What is he saying? He said, "Wait a minute, wait, I don't understand. If I can do it, you can do it." This is wonderful, folks. I'm just lookin' at all the stuff he's doin' now. He's just giving you kind of a real spectrum of what can happen in your life. Mark chapter 11, this is when he cursed the fig tree. He said, "And on the morrow, as they came from Bethany, he was hungry; seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, haply he might find any thing thereon; but when he came to it, he found nothin' but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, 'No man eat fruit of you hereafter forever.' And the disciples heard it." I remember when I spoke to my car. See, I can take ya'll deep, but I don't want nobody somebody here next week when I come back. [congregation cheering] And I said, "Car, I'm talkin' to you." Now it was so cold, 50 degrees, below Nobody's car on that lakefront would start. I spoke to that car, and after I spoke it I said, "I command you to start." And I went inside to get a cup of tea for about a half hour to give God a chance to work. Now when I came back I didn't say, "I'm gonna try this," 'cause Jesus didn't say, "Let me try and see if this fig tree." I put the key in there and started it up. Now check it out. I don't know whether he had a new part from heaven to come down in the engine, and I don't care. When I use the channel changer, I just know to push this button, and I'll get another channel. Can you hear what I'm sayin'? All you wanna do is know that if I speak these words and I believe what I say is gonna come to pass, I will have what I say. Now I just noticed all this because I said the natural world came out of the curse, but the supernatural world came out of the blessing and that a lot of things that the church has been doin', they've been hangin' around in the natural world. And it's time for us to move up to the supernatural. Say, "Amen," to that. So now Jesus is teaching them, feeding 5,000. Now the only reason I'm going through this or went through all of this is because I just wanna show you what Jesus did. Say, "Amen," to this. Turn to John's Gospel, chapter 6. Glory to God. Say, "I have the same faith as God." >> audience: I have the same faith as God. >> Bill: Say, "I have the God >> audience: I have the God of faith." >> Bill: "And I live by faith." >> audience: And I live by faith. >> Bill: "In the name of Jesus." >> audience: In the name of Jesus. >> Bill: So look what he says here in verse 5. "When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, he saw a great company come to him, and he said to Philip, 'Now where can we buy bread, that these may eat?'" Wow. I said wow. Now he is taking these disciples beyond anything that they have ever learned in their life. He is saying, "I want you to feed all these people." Now these disciples knew the condition that they were in. They didn't have any food to God he's tellin' them to feed all these people. And notice what it says next. "And this he said to prove him; for he himself knew what he would do." Lord, have mercy. "He knew what he would do." How did he know what he would do? [laughing] When you are short what are you gonna do? See, when you got a need that's bigger than your seed don't have enough to pay for it. Well, how are you gonna get some more? You've gotta sow. That's the only thing you can do, but I'm tryin' to bring something out to you. When he cursed the fig tree, it dried up in 24 hours. When he spoke to the storm, immediately it stopped. When the man was demonic, possessed the boy, he immediately set him free. When the people needed healing, raising of the dead, whatever, everything was immediate. Why am I gonna sow a seed and gonna have to wait three months for a harvest? It seem to me I wait 3 minutes that long? Why they put this in a certain category that I can't get a miracle the same time I sow it? You sow a seed today, and look for a harvest tonight. [speaking in tongues] Why isn't that working? The biggest reason why it's working is 'cause it's what we believe. You can't receive the supernatural unless you believe the supernatural. Why do we have to wait so long? You don't have to wait so long. It's not your faith. It's God's faith that you're using, and if Jesus can use that same faith and say, "The things that I do you can do, too," he didn't have to wait till the next day to feed them people. He took the seed that same day, sowed that seed, and got multitudes fed that same hour. Say, "Amen," to that. Folks, I am lookin' for God's best. I wanna go all the way on taught you gotta wait 3 months. We hope that this is coming in. Well, tell the woman whose two kids about to be taken and put in slavery that. She didn't have to wait 2 months. She got a harvest right there that afternoon. Say, "Amen." Tell the woman who only had one meal left that she got to wait 3 months. She's gonna starve to death. My point to you is we don't have to wait, glory to God. It's already finished. It's already done. What we need to do is know that the only thing we're doing is opening the door for supernatural provision. [congregation cheering] Amos 9:13, this business about waitin' 3 months and 3 years and all of that, folks, the stuff is gone by that time. "Behold, the days are coming, saith the LORD, that the plowman is gonna overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that sows seed." What am I telling you? The moment you put it in that ground, it's comin' up. I said the moment you're putting it in that ground, it's comin' up. Say, "Amen," to that. Now there are steps to this, and I'm gonna teach you about that next time, supernatural steps to this. I don't wanna give you too much at the same time. You'll be chokin' on it. I want you to know right now you are no longer earning a living. You are on assignment, and when I was on assignment as a representative of the United States Air Force, they would send me overseas, and overseas everything was waitin' for me. They had my uniforms waitin' for me. Come on, they had every waitin' for me. They had everything waitin' for me. I'm telling you, you are dealing with El Shaddai. El Shaddai means the breasty one. He has now got milk in his breasts for you, and whatever you need you suck it right out because God has said, "Amen," to that. You need tuition for those kids need to go into debt to do it. Come on. You need difference what you need. You don't need to shop at the aisles that they got the food that's lowest in cost and so forth. Go on over here to this other aisle. Come on, use your faith. Get your faith ready. See, somebody, "Well, you teachin' them people," and so forth and so on. Shut up. I'm teaching this. I'm doin' this. See, I'm doin' it, and I know what I'm doin', and I know the God that I serve. I'm not telling you to be greedy. I'm telling you to grow up. Now let me just see if there's anything else I wanna tell you before I let you outta here. We gonna sink the devil's boat. See, the enemy has felt that if he controls the money resource that everybody's got to come to him, and I'm tellin' you now we can, first of all, go around his system, and, next of all, we can take the money back that's lodged in his system by sowin' some seed. Sow in the kingdom, reap from the world. Glory, ooh Now, last thing [ God is your source. I said God is your source. Alright, let me tell you why I'm saying that. Satan does not want you to depend on God, and he tries to make us think if we do we won't be secure. He tries to make us invest and trust in his system. Alright, let me just show you something, and I'm talkin' now about communism, communism. Now communism, it's kinda interesting. It's an ownership being ascribed to a community or a state. It's a single party, the communist party. Now it's state dominated, meaning that people waited for the state to do everything. The stated provides for them housing. The state provides for them medical care. The state provides education, saying who can go to school, who can't, and so forth and so on. In other words, these people are free of any kind of ownership themselves. They are not making decisions for themselves. Somebody else is makin' decisions for them. Always remember that any government that can do everything for you can also take everything from you, alright? So now what happened as a result, people became dull. They became inactive mentally. They became progress in other nations, the people are still ridin' bicycles, tryin' to make it to work, and so forth and so on. And I'm saying the mentality spoiled its citizens, and it went along it collapsed, and it's a type of Babylon, that they didn't know that, as they built up so high, that this whole tower would fall because you can't go but so far with a system that is not the kingdom of God. And so people now, when they did that, the system collapsed, now they start putting the system or the judgment or people's lives in their own hands, and when they started doing that, then the people began to feel uneasy, and they wanted to go back to a system by which other folk told them how far they could go. It's just like the children of Israel coming out of Egypt, and when they got in the wilderness and God showed 'em Canaan, all of a sudden, they got afraid, and they wanna go back into slavery. Well, that's the same thing that happened to these people here, and they want somebody to care for them. And I'm saying that because of this they had now a need to make decisions for themselves, so they couldn't do it and so forth and so on. So this communism was a thing that flourished. Now what were people tryin' to do with it? They were trying to get God out of their system. They were trying to have socialism. That means you take of me, I take care of you. We don't need no God. We don't need God to do this. And I'm telling you now that God made it so you have to think for yourself. God didn't want you to have a welfare mentality, and somebody say, "Well, you know, God, I saw where he gave one, one talent, and one, two talents, and one, five talents. That's not fair." God is not fair. God is just, and he gives you according to your own ability. Say, "Amen," to that. So I'm here to tell you right now that God wants you to use your own potential to explode in this environment, to create in this environment. I want you to realize that this new system that you're in called the kingdom of God is a system that wants you to go as far as you can go, wants you to be as much as you can be, and it supplies ground that you can sow in that, once you sow it, God will take it and multiply it back to you, why? So that you won't have to live on the limits of your salary. You can live on the limits of your potential. Glory to God. So I'm saying to you now that the enemy does not want you to come off that system. He wants you to see that job, you see that job as your source and get mad about it when they won't promote you on time, but if you know God is your source and you believe in God, if somebody's in the way of your promotion God will move them, promote you that need of yours would be met. This is a covenant, and a covenant takes your stepping into it. You can't just pray and something will happen. You can't just cry. You can't just when you step into it, you act on it. >> Bill: Jesus came and introduced a new system called the kingdom of God.

I'm talkin' about living supernaturally, being able to have supernatural happen in your life, being able to see things and do things from a supernatural standpoint. Now remember this, when you get to your provision and the door's about to swing open, many times the pressure will come down on you like never before, and you gotta understand that that's that enemy tryin' to get you to give up and faint and quit and draw back and so forth. But that's when you have to remember Scriptures like this, and it's found in 1 Corinthians chapter 10, verse 13. It says, "There is no temptation taken you but such as common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted or tested or tried above that you're able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, so that you may be able to bear it." Now that way is only gonna be seen by faith, so don't let the devil snatch your faith. Stay in faith. You'll see the door. Go through it. Your provisions will be already there, praise God. So always know that there's a gospel solution. No matter how difficult the situation is, no matter how bad things look, there is a gospel solution, why? 'Cause God had already made a way, glory to God. Well, this is Bill Winston saying we love you, and you keep walking by faith. >> announcer: The "Believer's Walk of Faith" is paid for by Bill Winston Ministries' partners and viewers.
