>> male announcer: The "Believer's Walk of Faith" is paid for by Bill Winston Ministries Partners and Viewers. >> Dr. Bill Winston: If every church can work on just getting one person, train up everybody, but one gonna break out the pack. One's gonna say I'm not gonna bow, I'm not gonna burn, I'm not gonna back up, I'm not gonna be lax, I'm not gonna divorce, I'm not gonna fornicate, I'm not--somewhere they're gonna say I ain't doin' that. And when they say that, they're on their way to the top. >> Bill: We use the Scripture back in Proverbs, Proverbs chapter 4, verse 23. And we talked about there, that in Proverbs 4:23 said, "Guard your heart, for out of your heart comes the forces or issues of life." Now, the forces or issues of life, meaning the force of faith comes out of the heart. The force of love comes out of the heart. The force of joy comes out of the heart. What do you mean heart? We're talking about the blood pumping. We're talking about the inner man. We're talking about the person inside of that body. So the forces are comin' out of there. Now, you have a choice. But you take God's choice by faith, knowing that if you do act good when somebody's screaming at you, that God's gonna come in on the scene and work it out. That's a good way to make folks grow-up, isn't it? So what am I saying here? The enemy knows, now he's got control of the high places and he's given control of the high places to whomever he will. But he knows that if you get up to the--and start pointing to that high place, whoever's at the top of that mountain's gonna control the potential that's in that mountain. So you're going to take control of that media and they won't be able to show certain things on television. You're going to be able to control the politics and so forth and somebody get up there and forget about God. I mean, what's that all about anyway. I mean, when you take an oath, don't you take an oath and put your hand right on here, and lift this other one up, well, what you putting your hand on there for? This one says, "A man should be married to a woman." That's what this one--no, listen, wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm not hatin', I'm not hatin', I'm not hatin'. Can I just talk about what this one says. I'm talkin' bout, if you're gonna put your hand on this one. See, why put your hand on this one and then don't do nothin' it says? If you're gonna put your hand on this one. If not, take this one away. Get yourself a storybook. Get yourself a novel or somethin' like that and then, you know. But if you're going to put your hand on this one, right here. That's all I'm sayin'. Because what you're doing here is you're swearing to keep an oath of the Constitution, and the fact of the thing, the Constitution comes out of here. In here it talks about the three levels and branches of government. That's where we got it from, we got it from right here. Nobody thought of that, we got it from here. But I gotta send somebody to that office who's going to put his hand on this book, come on now, and do what the book says. [congregation cheering] Can I keep going? So now, okay, so one thing we go out to--we've got to go--enter in, we've got to enter, 'cause we've got to enter that strong man's house. And we're going to have to go through that, and we saw Jesus trying to cross-over. And that was Mark chapter 4 and verse 35-41, and he's crossing over, but there was a storm. And the storm came up, and what happened, the disciples, they fell out. They started arguing with each other and then they accused Jesus that he didn't care if they died or not. Now, how many of you know Jesus is for you? Okay, so, what has happened, they go into the strong bed's house 'cause when they get to the other side, there's a demoniac man there that's got at least 2,000 demons loaded in him. Now what is he doing? He's controlling the waterway. He's controlling the waterway. He's controlling the currency. He's controlling the economics. He's controlling the fish of the sea. See? And this is the first thing that God gave Adam dominion over, the fish of the sea. And so here, he's controlling that so you can't get by there naturally. You can't get by there naturally, forget that. So what did he need is somethin' supernatural. He needs, inside of him, some fruit. He needs the fruit of love and peace and joy, and so forth and so on. Come on, he needs all of that. But, understand, he didn't choose God, God chose him. God chose him, that's what it says. In Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3, praise God. In Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3, he talks about the fact that, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ," he said, "According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world," when did he choose you? He chose you--he didn't choose you when you chose him, he chose you before the foundation of the world. And he chose you before the foundation of the world 'cause he knows that you can go where he's going to tell you to go. Come on, and when you go where he tells you to go, he knows that you're going to be successful in that endeavor. Say amen to that. So he's got these love forces loaded inside of you, now he's sending you into the place of the ungodly on purpose, why? Because he's planning to raise you up in that environment. Now, he knows that you have been chosen by him and you have--Lord, have mercy. Can I say this? You were made in his image. I said, you were made in his image. Come on. You have his life, you have his mind, you have his nature, you have his spirit, you have his name, you have his ability, you have his disposition, you have his blessing, you have his faith, you have his love, all that's loaded in you. And when you go to a place, he's already decided what the outcome is going to be, 2 Corinthians chapter 2 and verse 14. He's already decided what the outcome is going to be. "Now thanks be to God, which always causes me to triumph." He doesn't care what the opposition is going to be because there's going to be a clear distinction between you and the rest of the world, that God has already designated victory for you. He's already designated that you are going to be rich. He's already designated that you're going to be invincible, indestructible, unstoppable, and indispensable. He's already called you a joint heir with Christ. Now, I'm just saying here that, all of a sudden, people get there, and somehow they put their hand on the book and it doesn't mean anything. Well, now, wait a minute, what's up with that? So the first thing that happens is I got to go in. I've got to enter in. But entering in is not all there is. The next thing I've got to do is I've got to conquer. I've got to take control. So, when he got passed the storm, he hit the next coast, which is Mark chapter 5, and now he runs up on a demoniac man. Now, understand, this man was being used by forces of evil, and Satan takes those who he would, whose mind and thinking is most easily controlled, and puts them into a place to be able to control that whole mountain. But their comin' down. Because God can put up one and take down another. And I'm saying that as we go now into controlling these high places, it's kinda interesting. Some people don't want to go. And what they say, basically, is they want to hang around the church. Now, what do I mean by that? All of a sudden, it's time for them to serve God, and they talk about they're supposed to preach. Now, wait a minute, hold on. Now, I'm just saying that because maybe their purpose isn't preaching. They think, because they love God, they're supposed to be at the pulpit. No, no, no, no, no, honey, you got it wrong. You can love God in the pew. You can love God as the head of IBM. You can love God as the head of Commonwealth Edison. You can love God as the head of the school superintendent thing. So somehow, they think because they have a love for God and so forth, they supposed to be on the mission field. No you don't. You're supposed to be right there where you are. Because you must define what a minister is. See, you gotta understand that your ministry is just as important as my ministry. I'm just called to this, you are called to that. And I'm going to have to give account for this, and you're going to have to give account for that. Well, I'm retired. You can't retire from the kingdom. You can't. You might have left that job, but you are not retired. There ain't no retirement in here. See, when you make a choice. Your choice is going to affect somebody. Do you hear what I'm saying? And the devil always tries to counter God's choices. And one is a choice of faith, and the other one's going to be a choice of fear. One of 'em is a choice of righteousness, and I guarantee the other one is going to be a choice of unrighteousness. One of 'em is going to be a choice of courage, the other one's going to be some kind of other choice. My point to you is, is take God's choices because when you choose something, it's going to affect somebody else's life. Say amen to that. Now, the other thing, Satan does not want you to be raised up. Now, here's one of the biggest reasons why. Because, if you get raised up, millions of lives shall be affected. I'm going to say that again. The one person who breaks through, now, let's just say I'm preaching to all y'all and just one person in here breaks through to the top. Whoever breaks through, no matter what mountain they are in, millions of lives are going to be affected. And that's what the devil knows. If I can just get one of you to the top, if every church can work on just getting one person, train up everybody, but one gonna break out the pack. One's gonna say I'm not gonna bow, I'm not gonna burn, I'm not gonna back up, I'm not gonna be lax, I'm not gonna divorce, I'm not gonna fornicate, I'm not--somewhere they're gonna say I ain't doin' that. And when they say that, they're on their way to the top. Now, you need to hear this 'cause a lot of people are not preaching it because it's not that popular. My friends, we're not looking for something that's popular. We're looking for something that pleases God. Am I right about it? This is your moment, God chose you, and I say this, you will make it to the top. I decree it in the name of Jesus, the devil will not be able to stop you any longer, no threat's going to stop you, no fear is going to stop you. Come on, no misfortune going to stop you. When you stumble your foot, you're going to get up, dust yourself off, and go again 'cause the righteous man falls seven times and gets back up again. Whoo hoo! Sit down. [congregation cheering] Yeah, don't let the devil give you nothin'. Take it. I said, don't let the devil give you nothin', take it. They may not want to promote you 'cause you too holy or whatever have you, don't even pay no attention to it, just say, Lord, I'm ready. Pow! If he got to move one out, if he got to--come on, but you moving up, you moving up, you moving up, you moving up. [congregation cheering] Sit down. [congregation cheering] No, no, no, you don't need to get drunk with 'em. Yeah, you can go out, just, you know, just don't get drunk. They're trying to make you stay there, but you're on your way, up. You're going to the top. Man. Cause if I can one of y'all to the top we gon' shift the climate. Shift the climate. So the first thing enter in. The next thing, conquer. Roman's chapter 8 and verses 37, conquer. He says, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that," what? "Loved us," man. Nothing can separate you from the love of God. Then the last one is possess. Look at Deuteronomy chapter 7 please and verse one, "When the Lord thy God shall bring you into the land which you go to," what? "Possess it, and has cast out many nations before you, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than any natural man." You are not a natural man. You are super-natural. Just giving an example, I did a little study, Jebusites, Hebrew means to stomp on. What did they do? These are spirits that reinforce your lameness. Reinforce any inferiority that you might be carrying. They reinforce a caste system. A caste system is like over in India. If you're in this lower caste that's where you die. If you your born in the upper class, that's where you die. And they reinforce that system, so you can see that same spirit reinforces racism. It's a spirit behind racism, called a spirit of division and it is a Jebusite. It is a spirit and if you got a spirit you can't fight him in the natural. Come on now. "Though we war in the flesh we do walk in the flesh we do not war in the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God--" He said, "Be strong in the Lord and in the," what? "Power of his might. Put on the whole amour of God," Ephesians chapter 6 verse 11. "That you may be able to," what? "Stand," against what? "The wiles of the devil." And then it says next in verse 12 glory to God, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against," what? "Principalities." That's enough, that's enough. I just want you to know, you're not up against natural enemy. That's why nobody else can take it, but the church. So, now I got to possess. Now, what's the difference between possess? Possess means to take ownership, watch this, and control it, from within. So notice what happens, here's a man, mad man of Gadara, Jesus runs to him. The man ran up to him, out of control. The demons spoke out of the man. Now, notice what they were doing with the man. They were controlling him from within, because he was possessed. Got it? So when you take the land, you going to control it from within. You take the industry, you're going to control it from within. Come on now. That's you. Now, don't think you're not smart enough. You're not stupid enough for God not to be able to use you. Nah, I don't mean that in an offensive way. I don't mean that in an offensive way. I'm saying Gideon tried to disqualify himself, did he try? He basically, he said, "I'm the dumbest one around here." God said, "I'm gonna take you and show you who I am. I'm a take you and you're going to lead Israel to victory." So don't try to disqualify yourself. Let me just finish this. Is this a right bunch I'm talking to here? So the last thing. What does the enemy try to do? Two things he doesn't want you to see about yourself. And they both come from Genesis chapter 1 verse 26. Okay. Now realize, there are all kinds of forces assisting the Gentiles to keep you from where you're supposed to go. But where are you headed? To the top. "And God said let us make man in our image after," what? "Our likeness and let them have," what? "Dominion." All right let's just stop right there. What is image? It's the exact duplicate of kind. What is your image? Who are you made like? God. So God--since you hear and part of your training is here and part is outside here because, he's taking you to a new standard, put it up there please, Isaiah 62. He's taking you to a new standard and he says, "Go through, go through the gates; prepare you the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people." Here's the standard right here and he's going to send you in there with a whole new standard. Say amen to this. But you have to know who you are. I said, you have to know, who you are, because there is a new standard of morality that you're going to life up. There's a new standard of your own economy, of your own physical well-being, of your own mental. You are a brilliant person. Glory to God. Boy I'm calling this thing out, but also there is a royal standard. Glory to God. I said there is a royal standard and it was never meant for you and I to grope for things or to struggle for faith. And I think one of the biggest reasons why people are struggling for faith is because their esteem is so low. You see, the first thing God does when he gets you born again, is fellowship with you. And you can't fellowship with somebody not on your level. And most of the people of God we were born in slavery, just like the people in Egypt. We were born out there where we were struggling, trying to make it, doing this, doing that and so forth, but now you got born again. Now, all of a sudden, you're in a righteous family. All of a sudden you're in a royal family. All of a sudden now you're a race of Kings. All of a sudden now--so I got to get my mind renewed to who I really am. Say amen to that. So, I got to listen to the Holy Ghost, cause he'll tell you, "No don't talk like that. That's not the way a King or a Queen should talk." He'll tell you how to eat, how to sit, your posture. He'll tell you, your behavior. He'll tell you to lose some weight. He'll tell you--come on don't shout me down now. He'll tell you what manner of speech you should have. He'll tell you clean up your mind. He'll tell you, "Don't watch that." He'll tell you, I'm just saying all these things, because you now are royalty and many time the enemy is trying to do maintenance on your ignorance of who you really are. But you can't let him do that. You got to know who you are and who God says you are. I'm saying now, that what we do is take your royalty by faith. Take who God says you are by faith, because there are certain things that royalty won't do. There are certain things that royalty won't receive. There are certain things that-- places royalty won't stay. There are certain things royalty won't drink. There are certain things royalty won't even eat. There are certain things royalty--come on now. And I'm telling you let's work on our royalty a little bit. Let's work on who God says we are. Because we're in a royal family. We got now things--all we got to do is decree things now and they shall--come on. They shall--glory to God! Whoo-whee! Look what it says here, "For if by one man's offense death reign by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ." Now, if you put that up there in the Amplified translation, "But because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness putting them into right standing with himself, they will reign," come on, "as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)." Folks, you inside are the splitting image of Jesus. You--that's why he said, "As the father." He said, "As I am, so are you in this world." And I want you to know right now, God sees you as royalty. He doesn't see you as somebody struggling in a slave camp trying to make it. Come on now. And what you need to do is see yourself like that. Because other people going to see you like you see yourself and you see yourself like that, there's certain things you won't allow. There's certain things you won't accept. The time for living beneath your privileges is over. This is God's hour for your power. It's time for you to rise and be counted by the spirit of God as one of the children of God that's going all the way to the top. >> male announcer: Equip yourself to rise to the stop of your industry by faith in Pastor Winston's powerful life changing teaching, "Climbing Without Compromise." To order on CD or DVD, contact us online at billwinston.org or by phone at 1-800-711-9327. >> Bill: "Climbing Without Compromise" is a three disc series. This series teaches you what is required for making the right choices on your way to the top. You see God has a plan for you and I, to take us to the top of whatever mountain of influence or profession we are in and they're forces that are set up to tempt us or to make us make choices contrary to the stances of God. But when you know who you are as royalty and you see yourself as God see you and you walk by faith and not by sight, you will not compromise God's word. Praise God. Well this is Bill Winston saying we love you. Until next time keep walking, by faith. >> male announcer: The "Believer's Walk of Faith" is paid for by Bill Winston Ministries Partners and Viewers.
