ANNOUNCER: The Believers Walk
of Faith is paid for by Bill Winston Ministries Partners
and viewers. BILL: We've got all day. I call it the God
factor. The Word of God, it's going to come with its own
power. That you don't have any power in this earth that can
match the kingdom of God. You got to believe this. See, the
enemy wants to get you strung out, and make you believe that
there is no solution to what you just got. There is not a problem
on this earth that is a problem for God. Your problem is the God
factor. You got to get Babylon out of you, and get God back in
you. Is anything too hard for the Lord? That's all you got to
ask yourself, because see, you are up against something, and
using your reasoning for some things, but you are
not designed to believe with your head. You're designed to
believe with your heart. The God that we serve, He
will deliver us. The Word of God, the
gospel is going to come with its own evidence. It's going
to come with its own power, that you don't have any
power in this earth that can match the kingdom of God, and
you and I have the kingdom within us. I'm not talking about
just miracles happening in the church house. I'm talking about
miracles happening in the marketplace. I said a miracle
happening in your business, a miracle turning that thing
around. As you look at this, what I'm talking about pretty
much is the God factor. Turn to Mark, Chapter 10 please. Mark,
Chapter 10. Look what he says, and we read this last time.
Verse 27. "And Jesus, looking upon them, said this. 'With men,
it is impossible, but not with God.'" Come on. Help me, now.
With God, all things are possible. I call it the God
factor. That what has happened in church a lot is Babylon has
crept into it, and when Babylon crept into it, it brought that
getting God out of it into the church. Now the church is full
of people with what I call mental ascent. They busy saying
this. Praise the Lord. Do you believe in the Bible? Oh, yeah.
Praise God. I believe it, from Genesis from Revelation. Praise
God. I believe it. They can't pay their rent. Got it?
Something's wrong with that. I'm exposing this saying now, so you
can deal with it. The next thing is intellectualism. They think
they can use enough big words that can cause you to cow cow
down, and you not get any results. Come on, now. I'm
saying some people, it's because of unbelief. Some it's because
of ignorance. They've just never heard it. I'm here to tell you,
Babylon has tried to creep in the church. I'm here to say
right now that what we need to do is get back to the old
fashioned Holy Ghost. I said, don't be ashamed to say the Holy
Ghost told me. Don't be ashamed if God tells you to do a little
dance, because the Holy Ghost is on you. I'm saying we've got
to high minded for God, and we done get God out, but we putting
Him back in, that miracles are coming back, signs and wonders
are coming back. The time for debating is over. The time for
manifestation is here. Paul, debating is over. The time for
manifestation is here. Paul, according to the history of
Paul, the apostle Paul, was an extremely learned man. He said,
"I counted all dung." Dung is manure, for Christ, because one
anointing on your life will take you so far above the intellect
until it's pathetic. There's nothing wrong with structured
learning. I understand that, but you got to add the super to the
natural. Can I get a amen, somebody? What is happening?
Hasn't been taught. The God factor's been out of it.
Throw somebody up against something. Look like all
hope is gone. I just don't know what I'm going to do. Why don't
you pray? The moment you pray, you cross over into the
supernatural. Come on. You got to hear what I'm saying. See,
the enemy wants to keep you strung out, and make you believe
that there is no solution to what you just got. Let me tell
you something, my friends. There is not a problem on this earth
that is a problem for God. God had the answer before you came
with the problem. I'm not talking about before you came
with the problem physically. Before you got here on Earth, He
knew you were going to have that problem, and He's got an answer
reserved, come on, for you. He's not talking about an answer
after you get beat up, your eye get knocked out, and so forth.
He's talking about as soon as you have that problem, He will
deliver you speedily, and I'm saying, you got to believe this.
Say amen to this. What am I telling you? With God, come on,
all things are possible. All right? Just examine that for
just a minute. Say God factor. AUDIENCE: God factor. BILL:
Somehow, we have taken the supernatural out of our
situation, and that's not right, because what you've done is
allowed Babylon to come in, and influence you, and talk to you,
and tell you some junk about God can't heal this, or He can't
save you on this, or He can't provide for you in time on this,
or whatever have you. Are you with me here? Folks, this is
your hour, and you are spiritual gladiator. Praise God. Whoa,
that came out. What did I do? I'm trying to put some
things down here, because there are some impossible situations
in the Bible, and sometimes you have to build your hope up.
Somebody say, keep hope alive. AUDIENCE: Keep hope alive. BILL:
You have to build your hope up, and in the impossible
situations, when we can go back in the Old Testament, here was a
man named Abraham. Let's turn to it. Turn to Genesis, Chapter 18.
I'm almost done. This is when the angel came, and he told
Abraham that his wife is going to have a child. Honest son
Abraham is knocking at the door of 100 years old, and his wife
Sarah was 90. She had never born children, and Abraham was too
old to have them. Verse 9. "And they said unto him," he said,
they said, the angel said, "Where is Sarah, thy wife?" He
said, "Behold, she's in the tent." He said, "I will
certainly return unto thee, according to the time of life,
and lo Sarah, thy wife shall have a son." Sarah heard it in
the tent door, which was behind him. Abraham and Sarah were old
and well stricken. That is, again, old. Well stricken in
age, and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women,
meaning that she couldn't have any more menstrual cycles,
whatever have you. Therefore, Sarah laughed within herself,
saying, "After I am wax old shall I have pleasure? My Lord
being old also?" Boy, she didn't leave him out, did she? He old.
Everybody up in here old. Come on, now. With God, come on, now.
Come on, now. I said with God, and Verse 13, and the Lord
said unto Abraham, "Abraham, wherefore did Sarah laugh."
Goodness, saying, "Shall I of assurity bear a child which I am
old?" Verse 14. Underline it. "Is anything too hard for the
Lord?" Glory to God. That's what you got to ask yourself. Wait a
minute. I know I can't do this, but is anything, come on, too
hard for God? That's all you got to ask yourself, because see,
you are up against something, and using your reasoning
facilities, but you are not designed to believe with your
head. You're designed to believe with your heart, and if I put
you in enough scriptures in here, all of a sudden, what's in
this book going to get into your heart. All of a sudden, you're
going to see that, wait a minute. I'm with God, and if I'm
with God, with Him, all things are possible. Nothing is too
hard for Him. He can do anything. Boy, you start acting
spry. Your joy comes back. Your peace comes. All that sorrow,
all that depression jumps off of you. Next thing you know, you
start a little bit of a Holy Ghost dance. Wow. Laughter.
There's nothing too hard for Him. You're in the kingdom,
where there's righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy
Ghost. That's the benefit package. Now, let's just finish.
Notice Abraham and Sarah had a baby. The Bible says in Romans,
Chapter 4, Verse 17 through 21, "He considered not his own
body." You got to stop looking at your own body. You got to
look into the promise of God, because the circumstances won't
let you [render] faith that you need. Say amen to that.
AUDIENCE: Amen. BILL: Here they are. That was Abraham, but how
about in Exodus 14? He was a man named Moses. He ran all the way
up with three million people to the shores of the Red Sea. He
couldn't get across. He looked behind him, and there wasn't
nothing but dust. Pharaoh was coming after him. What he could
do? The Lord said, "Stop crying to Me. Take that rod and stretch
it out," and the Red Sea split. I'm saying you might be up
against a Red Sea right now in your life. Got news for you.
Stretch out the rod. The rod is in your mouth. It's the Word of
God. Stretch that thing out. Speak it right now. Speak it, I
said. Speak it. Speak it. I'm telling you the enemy had me
cornered this week, but this is what I said. Many are the
afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord will deliver
them out of them all. Praise God, and I kept that
thing going. All of a sudden, my peace came
back. All of a sudden, I begin to kind of sing in my
study up there. I'm by myself. I'm saying, you get that
thing back in your life, and once joy comes back, the Bible
says, now you can draw water out of the well of salvation? You
know what that means? It means you start getting revelation.
Revelation will start popping into you. Come on, because you
believe in God. Daniel, Chapter 3. The three Hebrews. Impossible
situation. Why? Because they stood for their God. They stood
for what was right, but the king going to throw them in the fire.
How many of you know the fire wouldn't burn them? It wouldn't
burn them because it wasn't fire. It wouldn't burn them
because of what they said. They said the God that we serve, He
will deliver us. When you're in a tight spot, get your mouths a
working. You don't need no more money. You need your mouth. You
need to speak what God said, and watch Him deliver. Oh, yeah.
Numbers, Chapter 11. Children of watch Him deliver. Oh, yeah.
Numbers, Chapter 11. Children of Israel in the wilderness. They
have no food. They wanted some meat, in the middle of nowhere.
God said, "I'll give them meat, but I'm not gonna give them meat
for one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days. I'm
gonna give them meat for a whole month, until it'd run out of
their nose." What did He do? Moses asked him, said, "Wait a
minute. What are you gonna do? I mean, are there that many fish
in the sea, or are that many quails, or whatever?" God said,
"Wait a minute, is the Lord's hand waxed short?" See, we got
to believe God can do what He said He can do. God fed them so
much meat, until the meat was piled up three feet high, for as
far as they could walk in a day. Folks, don't tell me He can't
pay your rent. Come on. Your problem is the God factor. You
got to get Babylon out of you, and get God back in. All right.
Just a couple more, and I'm out. Are you all with me? AUDIENCE:
Yes. BILL: Luke, Chapter 1. Woo, I preached hard today.
Luke, Chapter 1. This is when angels came to a woman named
Mary. The angels said, "Hail Mary." Say it three times. No,
don't you do that. Don't you do that. Said, "Thou art highly
favored among women." Somebody say favored. AUDIENCE: Favored.
BILL: See, favor. Wait a minute, now. Favor is something
that God grants you out of His good will, rather than you
earning it. You can't buy it, or you can't be so good. You see,
favor ain't fair. Praise God. I've got a whole teaching here
on favor, and I'm not going to go through it, but remember
in the kingdom, you get exactly what you expect, and you got to
expect favor from God in these last days. Say amen to that.
AUDIENCE: Amen. BILL: Expect doors to open for you.
Expect policies to be changed for you. Expect preferential
treatment, like Esther got. Expect God to fight battles for
you that you didn't have to fight. Expect somebody to
recognize you and give you a prominent position for no reason
at all. Expect honor in the midst of your adversaries.
Expect restoration of everything that's been stolen. Lord, have
mercy. You are entitled to divine favor as a covenant child
of God. One of your covenant rights is favor. What'd the
angel do? Said, "Mary, you gonna have a child." She said, "Now
how is this gonna happen to me? I don't know a man." In other
words, this is impossible. The angel said, "Well, the Holy
Ghost will come over you," and I believe right there is where she
did a dance. Verse 37. "For with God, nothing shall be
impossible." Verse 37. Nothing shall be impossible. How about
Peter in jail? The next day, they're going to cut his head
off. The Bible said the church prayed. God sent angels into
jail, put every guard to sleep, and brought Peter out. What He
did then, he's going to do now. He can do it now. Last place.
Acts 27. Acts 27, and look what it said in Verse 18. "And we
being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they
lightened the ship, and the third day, we cast out our own
hands, the tackling of the ship with our own hands," pardon me,
"the tackling of the ship." In other words, they threw out the
cargo, and now they're throwing out the food and everything
else. Wow, trying to keep this ship afloat. Verse 20. "And when
neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small
tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then
taken away." No more hope. No more hope that you're business
is going to make it. No more hope that this disease can be
healed. No more hope that this thing will turn around itself in
my household. No hope. That's when you haven't heard from God.
The Bible says when Abraham had no hope, he believed in hope.
What does it mean? This Bible is designed to get your hopes up
again. What happened? Verse 22. "And now I exalt you to be
of good cheer." This is Paul talking. In the midst of this
mess, he's saying, "Be of good cheer, for there shall be no
loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship." "For
there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and
whom I serve." Saying, what? Fear not. Underline it. Paul.
"Thou must be brought before Caesar." You will make it to
your destiny. I said your business will survive, and
thrive. I'm talking about, yep, whatever is going on in your
body, you will overcome. "God has given thee all them that
sail with thee, wherefore serves. Be of good cheer, for I
believe God." Stop right there. Do you believe God? I know what
the newspaper said. I know what the daily said, the tribune, and
whatever. I know what the CNN said. I know what the physician
said. I know what the economists have said, but did you get what
God said? One word from God will change your life forever.
Say this with me. I believe God.
Audience: I believe God. BILL: Well I
trust that you were blessed by that powerful
teaching. Today is offering day on the broadcast. It's time
where we give you an opportunity to sow into the ministry, and
the work that God is doing through us. Here are a few
points you might want to remember in giving. Number one,
God's way of doing things is different from the world's way.
The world's way is to get all you can, and put it in a can,
and guard the can. God's way is to give, and as you do give, God
gives it generously back to us. Number two, the more you give,
the more you'll increase, especially in the kingdom of
God. What we do is we increase our broadcast off of the givings
that people do make to this ministry. As they sow seed,
we can sow more word seed in different places. Here's what
the Bible says. This is in Proverbs, Chapter 11, in Verse
24 and 25. "There is that scattereth, and yet increases,
and there is that witholdeth more than his meat, but
attendeth to poverty. A liberal soul shall be made fat, and he
that watereth shall be watered also himself." I've gone to
hospitals sometimes and prayed for those who were sick. I come
out of there feeling better than I did when I came in. Why?
Because you can't water somebody else without being watered
yourself. Number three. When you give cheerfully, the seed you
sow becomes incorruptible. In Second Corinthians Chapter 9, in
Verse 6 through 8, in the NIV translation, says this.
"Remember this. Whoever sows sparingly will also reap
sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap
generously." Each of you should give what you have decided in
hour heart to give. Not reluctantly or under compulsion,
for God loves a cheerful giver, and God is able to bless you
abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all
that you need, you will abound in every good work. That's a
powerful verse of scripture, so as you do give, God will make
it so you have enough to give again. Let's pray for your
giving. Father, we come before You in Jesus' name. Thank You so
much for those who are sowing seed into this ministry. Thank
You, Lord, for not only the call on my ministry, but the call for
those who have now partnered with us, or those who are giving
into this ministry to help us execute what You have given us
to do. Father, I pray that Your blessing be upon them, and like
the apostle Paul, I pray this. That my God shall supply all
their need, according to His riches and glory, by Christ
Jesus. Thank You, Lord, for blessing them. In Jesus' name.
Amen. We want to thank you so much for just being a support to
us, encouraging us in your giving, and just in your
prayers. We really, really, really enjoy bringing this
broadcast to you, and we trust that you are being blessed. This
is Bill Winston saying we love you, and keep walking by faith.
With God, all things are possible. I call it the God
factor. The Word of God, it's going to come with its own
power. That you don't have any power in this earth that can
match the kingdom of God. You got to believe this. See, the
enemy wants to get you strung out, and make you believe that
there is no solution to what you just got. There is not a problem
on this earth that is a problem for God. Your problem is the God
factor. You got to get Babylon out of you, and get God back in
you. Is anything too hard for the Lord? That's all you got to
ask yourself, because see, you are up against something, and
using your reasoning for some things, but you are not designed
to believe with your head. You're designed to believe with
your heart. The God that we serve, He will deliver us.
