ANNOUNCER: The Believer's
Walk of Faith is paid for by Bill Winston ministries,
partners, and viewers. BILL: Jesus came and
introduced a new system. For the kingdom of God
is a government that's set up to meet every need that a person
would have independent of what's happening in this earthly
economy. Therefore, I say unto you, stop being perpetually
uneasy, anxious, and worried about your life. 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 is already
been earned by Jesus Christ. So your labor is not in overtime,
it's in the Word of God. Everything changes
with the Kingdom of God. And the kingdom has
come inside of you. BILL: He says over here
in Proverbs chapter 10 verse 22, the blessing of
the Lord, it maketh rich, and he adds no sorrow with
it. Let's look at that same scripture in the NIV, now they
have it up on the board. They'll put it up on the board for you.
The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, I didn't misread that.
Brings wealth without painful toil for it. Now this is
different. This is different than how Adam was living after
he had sinned. Now, let's go and just look at that. And if you
will, go to Genesis chapter 1, and in Genesis chapter 1 this is
a case where God said, let us make man in our image after our
likeness, let them have dominion over the fishes here with the
fowl of the air over the cattle and over all the earth and every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God is
saying, let them have dominion. Them is mankind, so he doesn't
have it. Dominion authority, dominion rulership, dominion,
stewardship or caretaker ship, responsible for it. Dominion
ownership. Let them have it. I don't have it says God, they got
it. Now with that thinking, one of the speakers on our
international faith conference came through here and they did a
composite. They put together some of the speakers and what
soundbites they made some of the soundbites. And this particular
speaker was Dr. Jesse Duplantis and he said something, he said,
God said to him, said, Jesse, I am God. He said, and Jesse, I
have the power to take your life. But I do not have the
authority. Now that's a tweet. I have the power to take your
life, but I do not have the authority. He said, there are a
lot of people that had come up here and said that, you know,
people say the Lord called them home. He said, I didn't call
them home. They call themselves. I want to see what he's talking
about here. Let's go to Numbers. Numbers chapter 14. Now, this is
when there was the children of Israel had been in the
wilderness and they sent out 12 spies, spy out the land of
Canaan, and they sent those 12 spies out and the 10 of them
came back with an evil report. They came back with something
that God didn't say. Now remember where he's taking you
is the impossible. That's why you need faith, because faith
connects you with God and with God all things are possible, so
where ever you see the impossible, just think about it.
That's where your stuff is at. That's where my stuff is at. Got
it. So the enemy makes it look impossible. Look what he says in
Numbers chapter14:28, saying to them, this is God talking to
Moses, saying to them, as truly as I live, saith the Lord, as
you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you. All that
unbelief you spoke, you're going to get it. Going onto the next
verse, after the number of the days in which you search the
land, even 40 days each day for you, a year shall bear your
iniquity. Even 40 years, and you shall know my breach of promise.
You shall know my breach of promise. I looked that up.
Breach of promise in my center column reference. Here's what it
says. You have altered my purpose. Little you can alter
big God's purpose. Why? Because of your authority. Jesse say
there are a lot of people who say I called them home, but I
didn't call him up here. Their mouth called them up here.
Proverbs chapter 18:21, Death and life are where? In the power
of the tongue. So notice what their tongue did. They were hung
by their tongue. By what they said kept them out of 7,000
promises, and it'll keep you out. Jesse, I am God and I have
the power to take your life, but I do not have the authority.
Stop talking about that. I am God, and I have the power to
make you rich, but I do not have the authority. I want you to see
this, it's not God holding back on you cause you already got a
promise in there that says, wealth and riches shall be in
your house. So he's already got the promise... I get God. Ah,
you ain't that special. You- God is no respect of persons. What
he did for Bill Winston who came here with $200 and look at him
now. Then he'll do it for you. He is no respecter. But I made
sure I kept my mouth right, because I knew that if God
before me, no government, no, no haters, none of that could fend
against me. I've had them show up in my office. If I call the
names you, everybody in here will know it. Reverend, how did
you do this? I said, the Lord did it. No, I ain't talking
about that. I mean, how did you do this? They want me to say
some political, something, something. Don't need it. And
I'm going to show you you don't need it. God is your source. And
the devil's job is to get you not to see God as your source.
All right, let's just work with this. Can we work with this just
a minute? Alright, so Genesis chapter 1 verse 26, how about
Genesis 1:28, and he goes on down and God blessed them and
said to them, be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth
and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over
the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth
upon the earth. So now that has given man all this earth. Okay,
look at Genesis chapter 2 verse 1, and in 2:1 he says, thus the
heavens and the earth were finished and all the hosts of
them. And on the seventh day, God ended his work, which he had
made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work,
which he had made. Now why did he rest? Because he was what?
You mean he was tired? Wasn't tired, he was finished. Verse 3,
and God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because that
in it he had rested from all his work, which he had created and
made. All right? So here's God, he's made everything. He made
all this things on the six days and six days, and at the end of
the sixth day, he made something or created something called man.
We studied that. What is man? And so he created man, mankind.
All right. So now this man is made like God. He's created like
God. He's, he's got the same DNA as God. He thinks like God, he,
um, all of his, um, whatever it is, it's like God. So this man
created to live forever, but God gives him a prohibition. He puts
him in a garden and he's created everything for the man. So the
man doesn't have to go out and hunt anything. God has got
everything him. Now look what he says here in verse 15 he's gives
him a prohibition. He says this, Genesis chapter 2 and verse 15,
and the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of
Eden to dress it and keep it, this is his responsibility. And
the Lord God commanded the man saying of every tree of the
garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the garden of the
knowledge of good and evil, though thou shall not eat of it
for the day you eat thereof you shall surely what? Die. So it
was man originally made to die? Nope, he was not. God told him
the day you eat of this though, you're going to change the
purpose. You're going to change everything. All right? So we go
on down to chapter 3 in verse 1. So the serpent was more subtle
than any beast of the field was the Lord God had made. And he
said unto the woman. Yay. Hath God said you shall not eat of
every tree of the garden? And woman said to the serpent, we
may eat of the fruit of the trees, of the garden, but the
fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God has
said, you shall not eat of it. Neither shall you touch it
unless you die. So this is Eve talking with the devil. How many
of you know, don't spend any time talking with the devil?
Cause he can reason better than you can. Now all of these things
that God made were made to serve man. Then he made man, got it?
And put him in a body. Got it? The body is not man. And matter
of fact, look, uh, if you will go to first Corinthians chapter
9 verse 27, but I keep under my body. This is Paul talking. He
didn't say I'll put it under. He said, I'm keeping this thing
under, he said, and bring it into subjection less at by any
means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a
Castaway. In other words, I got to control this thing. Why?
Because this body in the Greek is soma, which means slave. So
your body is a slave of your spirit and your mind and it was
designed just like these trees. Just like this gold. Just like
everything else God created. It was all designed to serve you,
not you serve it. It does not tell you how it feels. It does
not tell you to go to the riverboat. It does not tell you
now you can go where you want to go, you're a free person, but my
point to you is is some places, once you get born again, your
new born again spirit had the DNA again of God and it's going
to want to go to the left and that body might want to go to
the right. It might, the body says it's 11 o'clock at night. I
know I shouldn't have any pie but give me that pie. The spirit
says, fool, you don't need that pie. You need to go to bed.
You've gained 10 pounds already in the last week. Come on now.
Now I'm not trying to insult you. I'm trying to tell you that
you have to keep your body under, not put it under. You
have to make yourself get on a treadmill at a every time you
try to get on there watch your body say you don't need that
today. It'll tell you in one minute you don't need that
today. You've got to say, shut up and start walking. Praise,
God. Amen. We all have to do that first. We all have to do
that. Adam was created to live with an unlimited potential
mindset. Now that's very important. Unlimited potential
because he was made like the father to continue to create.
Now don't think just because you did something yesterday and
thought of something that's all there is. Folks, there's enough
potential in you to last a million years. Every one of us.
So new ideas, concepts, new visions. You were made to have
those things. So now here's Adam. The Bible says, Eve ate,
gave it to Adam, he did eat. Now they fallen. Now what did they
lose in the fall? The first thing he lost was position. He
lost his position. He was no longer the head. He was now
under Satan's authority and now he's in a bad place. That
supernaturally he's going to have to get out of. What else
did he lose? He lost his potential, his unlimited
potential. Now, mankind does have potential, but he doesn't
have unlimited potential. With God you have unlimited
potential. Why? Because God is your potential. What else did he
lose? He lost his fellowship with God. Couldn't talk to him
anymore. You got the phone working. All of a sudden the
line gets cut. Hello? Hello, hello. Now they're still on the
other end, but the connection is broken. We can't hear God and
now he doesn't know God so he fears God, he runs from him,
hides from him, the one that made him. And then as we go on
down, he lost his ability to do what God, what God wanted him to
do what God said. Why? Cause he's getting put out of the
garden. Now he loses his assignment. But here's what I
want to get to. This is why this part of the teaching is called
opening the door to supernatural provision. He lost his
provision. Now he's in survival mode. Verse 17 chapter 3, and to
Adam He said, because you have hearkened to the voice of your
wife and has eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying
you shall not eat of it. Cursed is the ground for your sake and
in sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of your life.
Thorns also in thistles, shall it bring forth to thee and thou
shall eat the herb of the field, in the sweat of your face shall
you eat bread until you return to the ground. Now, let's just
use that verse 17 and start there in the amplified. Let see
what he says. Then Adam, he said, because you have listened
to and given heed to the voice of your wife and have eaten of
the tree which I commanded you, saying you shall not eat of it.
The ground under you is cursed because of you in sorrow and
toil, underline and put in your Bibles, sorrow and toil, shall
you eat a bit of the fruits of it all the days of your life.
Next first, thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you and
you shall eat the plants of the field and the sweat of your face
shall you eat bread until you return to the ground. Okay? So
what is he saying? Adam no longer am I your provider. You
are your provider. You're going to have to bear the weight of
all your own provision. Now, because of that, then the earth
is resisting you. So you're going to have to struggle to get
it. So in toil and sweat and struggle and, and, and whatever
else goes along with that. That's the state of mind that
you're going to be in. So you're going to be always looking of
how to solve this provision crisis. So everything you do now
you're going to measure through whether I can can pay for this
or not. Uh, if I can, um, do this, if I can afford this, so
watch this provision. It's going to overshadow everything.
So 24/7, mankind has been concerned about
provision and that is what Jesus came to
do. He came to redeem us. He came to take us back from
being concerned about what we're going to eat and drink. How are
we going to pay the rent, how we'll go send the kids to
school. He came to take that off our minds. Why? Because when
that's on your mind and that is a focus of your attention, then
creativity drops down to all time low and you cannot fulfill
the assignment and purpose that God has for your life with a
provision minded mindset, because you can't serve two
masters. Now are you here? All right, let's just keep rolling
with that. Let's go over and see how Jesus came in and he
introduced and start teaching on how to live independent of the
provision of thought how I can live independent of, of this.
Oh, if I could just get a little enough money so forth, how I can
live independent of this kind of thinking, this anxiety. Let's go
to Matthew chapter 6 please. Matthew chapter 6. He says first
in verse 25, he said, no man can do what? Serve- pardon me, verse
24. No man can do what? Serve two masters. Alright, you were
made that the master who meets your needs is the one you serve.
You were made that way, no man or woman could exist without an
overlord. You and I were always supposed to exist with an
overlord. In other words, we were never sovereign within
ourselves. We look to something higher. That's why I've man
doesn't have Jehovah God he makes another God. He makes
something because he was not made to exist without an
overlord, he's just that way. With the curse system, mankind
begins to see his job or people or whatever as a source because
they don't have God. So this is the only thing that they have
that they can rely on or trust in to help give them some sense
of security. But then this job and the system that it's in is
not designed to provide you with security. In fact that employer
is not there to make sure that all your needs have been met,
that that that employee, your employer is there to give you a
decent wage and and make sure that you have a decent wage, but
they're not there to take the place of God and, and what has
happened is that we are trying to get enough systems in place
that people don't need God, they've got social this and
socialism that and so forth. Now hear what I'm saying, thank God
for the system, but what happened to God as being the
one that we go to who's supposed to be the bread
provider for humanity? BILL: Well, I trust that you
were blessed by that message. Now this is offering day on the
broadcast, this is a time we give all those who are watching
our broadcast an opportunity to sow into the ministry. Now, this
idea of sowing and reaping is God's idea, I didn't think
of this. This is God's idea. He said give and it shall be
given unto you. In other words, we sow into the expansion of the
Kingdom, it's like making an investment. God measures some
dividends back to us, why? For whatever need that we may have.
Now, I'd like to give you one thing that God taught me about
increase. You'll find that when we come into the kingdom we
all have ungodly thought patterns, we do. Every one of
us. And these thoughts have to be changed. God said in Isaiah
55, your thoughts are not my thoughts, because of that your
ways are not my ways. So I found that I had to go from a running
out mentality to a running over mentality. Now that came through
me studying the Word of God and finding out God's way of doing
things really is. And so it happened to me, we were
starting, we were growing here in the Chicago area, and God
said I want you to go on radio. Well I went to the radio
station, and I went there, and you know, I went and told them
I'd like to go on radio for fifteen minutes on Saturdays.
And he signed a contract, yes. I got home and God said no, I
don't want you to go on for fifteen minutes on Saturdays. I
want you to go on everyday for fifteen minutes. Monday through
Friday. I said oh my goodness. Now, what happened I went back
and convinced them, you know, we could do this. And I didn't
know it but he went behind me and called a lady that we knew,
he said, can he afford that? She said, I don't know whether
he's got the money, but he's got the faith. Well, he signed
us up. It's interesting that fear tried to come on me. Why?
Not running out of money, but running out of things to say. I
thought after about the third week something was telling me
you're not going to have anything to say, you're going
to be embarrassed and so forth. Let me tell you, what I found
out when I emptied out is when God field me back up. And let me
tell you, I'm still preaching today on overflow. Praise God.
So I'm just saying to you the tendency that he tries to bring
us fear when it's time to sow because he tries to make us
thing we're running out. Well, that's the world's way of
thinking, because they don't have a savior. You have a
savior. And as you do sow God promised you He'll give
it back to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together,
running over, men give unto your bosom. Get your seed ready, get
ready to expand the kingdom of God through your giving. Get
that seed ready, get it in mind, write it out, get it in your
hand- get it in your mind and let's pray over it right now.
Father, I come before you in the name of Jesus. Father I bring
the saints of God before you, the people of God that are
listening to this broadcast and are sowing into this ministry. I
pray Lord, that as they release that seed that my God supply all
their need. Whether it's money, whether it's debt free,
whether it's healing, whatever it is I pray that blessing come
back to them speedily. Now Father we thank you. We call it
done in Jesus name, amen. Praise God, isn't that powerful?
Think about it, I came here with $200. Look at us now sowing and
reaping. Sowing and reaping. If he'll do it for BW, he'll do
it for you. That's all we have for this time. We love you, and
keep walking by faith. BILL: Jesus came and introduced
a new system. For the kingdom of God is a
government that's set up to meet every need that a
person would have independent of what's happening
in this earthly economy. Therefore, I said to you, stop
being perpetually uneasy, anxious and worried about your
life. 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 with the kingdom, and the kingdom has
come inside of you. ANNOUNCER: Step into the door of
