ANNOUNCER: The Believer's
Walk of Faith is paid for by Bill Winston Ministry's
partners and viewers. ANNOUNCER: Up next
on the Believer's Walk of Faith: BILL: Everything
that God's gonna do for you, it's already
done. This is not something that's going to happen. He has
taken answers and put them in eternity. He has taken provision
and put it in eternity. CONGREGATION: Yes sir. BILL: But
when you believe, your faith can bring from eternity, come on
help me now, and it can bring it down into this three
dimensional world. BILL: Hello. Bill Winston
here, and welcome to the Believer's Walk
of Faith, where we walk by faith and not by
sight. Well, here's something you want to remember. Your
future comes out of your heart. Now the Bible says that out of
the heart are the issues of life, or that with the heart man
believes. Or scriptures that says a good man out of the good
treasure of the heart brings forth good things. You see what
I'm saying? I'm saying that what is in your life comes out of
your heart. Now because it does, no one can stop you from
reaching your destiny but you. I'm saying the Republicans,
Democrats, the different racial groups, come on, the country,
nobody can stop you from reaching your destiny but you.
Now, you find the promise, put it in your heart and watch it
come out in your life. Isn't that powerful? Well, today's
message is really going to bless you. It's called
Contending for the Faith. BILL: Faith sees the
invisible. Come back to 1 Kings chapter 22
please. Over here, in 1 Kings chapter 22, this is in
verse six, where the king of Israel gathered the prophets
together about 400 men, and said unto them, "Shall I go up
against Ramoth-Gilead to battle or shall I forbid it?" And they
said, "Go up, for the Lord shall deliver it into thy hand O
King." And Jehoshaphat said, Jehoshaphat was the
other king, the king of Judah. He said, "Is
there not here a prophet of the Lord?" In other
words, there's too many prophets up in here. And they're all
giving you a good report saying you can go up and fight this
battle, but I'm not totally convinced, because they, I
watched some of them. They ain't living right. Now I'm just, I'm
putting that in there myself. But he said, "Is there not a
prophet of the Lord?" And he said, "Well, yeah there is a guy
that comes up here and prophesies sometimes, his name's
Micaiah and I can't stand him." This is what the king of Israel
said. Now, Israel's just backslidden. They have the king
called King Ahab and so they're just backslidden. So here comes
this prophet. They got Micaiah and he comes up. And he says,
"No, that's not what's gonna happen." Look at verse 17. He
said, "I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills as
sheep that have not a shepard and the Lord said, "These have
no master and let them return every man to his own house in
peace."" Now notice what he said. "I don't see victory, I
see defeat." He said, "Now that's the word of the Lord."
Now what am I getting at? I'm getting at the point that all
events have already taken place. CONGREGATION: Amen. Amen. Amen.
BILL: Faith doesn't look in the future. Faith is only now. And
faith looks at eternity. And eternity has no time.
CONGREGATION: Amen. Amen. BILL: Isaiah chapter 57 and verse 15.
Here's what it says, For thus saith the high and lofty one,
that inhabits what? CONGREGATION: Eternity. BILL:
Eternity. I showed you Enoch. And I showed you where Enoch saw
something. The Bible he says, he was the seventh from Adam and I
showed you that Enoch walked with God and he was not, for God
took him. Then I showed you over here in Jude, over in verse 14,
Enoch, also the seventh from Adam, prophesied. He saw
something and he saw the Lord coming with 10,000 of his
saints. If you know that God has coming with 10,000 of his
saints. If you know that God has already provided an answer to
your problem, that you can only get to it by faith, you can
answer every problem that you have by using your faith.
CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: Are y'all with me? Every thing that
God's gonna do for you, it's already done. CONGREGATION:
Amen. BILL: This is not something that's going to
happen. He has taken answers and put them in eternity. He has
taken provision and put it in eternity. CONGREGATION: Yes sir.
BILL: When Abraham got up on that mountain that God showed
him to offer up his son, he took that knife and faith without
works is dead, so when he lifted it up, God saw the works and
manifested a lamb, or ram caught in the bush. CONGREGATION: Yes
sir. BILL: The ram wasn't there. The ram wasn't there. The ram
was in eternity. CONGREGATION: Come on. BILL: But when you
believe, your faith can bring from eternity, come on help me
now, and it can bring it down into this three dimensional
world. You see the saints of God, should do, Lord have mercy.
Words are more for creation than communication. And that you have
to understand that Jesus was busy going about creating. This
is what he gave you faith for. Because creation means To bring
forth. So what you do is you bring forth something that's
already there. Everything is created twice. See, God created
it at first. See if he didn't create it, you don't want to
create it. Because you're stepping over into a creation
that God didn't intend. Say amen to that. CONGREGATION: Amen.
BILL: So I can look at that book and see an inventory of what's
in the warehouse in the spirit realm that I can create here in
this earth. I take that book and take that seed and sow it into
my life by speaking it and then my insides begin to work like a
manufacturing plant. CONGREGATION: Come on. BILL:
Bringing forth a perfect image of what's in the heavens, and
then I act on it by faith and manifest it in this earth. There
were 10 lepers and they cried out to Jesus and this is what he
said to them. Luke 17, "Go show yourself to the priest." What
did they do? They didn't say this, "We can't, we got the
leprosy." No. They acted on the Word. CONGREGATION: Yes sir.
BILL: And as they went, come on, you've gotta hear me. You see,
we've been trying to leave out acting. We've been confessing,
but it's another step. You've got to act on what you believe.
CONGREGATION: Yes sir. BILL: And that piece is not being carried
out. Why? Because you can't see. You were never meant to go to
somewhere you can't see. The Bible says in Proverbs 23 and
verse 7, "As a man thinketh in his heart," come on, "so is he."
Let me give you another translation. Whatever you
believe is what you become. CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: I'll
try it one more time. Whatever you believe is where you're
gonna end up. CONGREGATION: That's right. BILL: And that's a
law. Now look where your future comes from. Look at Matthew
chapter 12 and verse 35. Your future comes out of your heart.
CONGREGATION: Yes sir, that's right. BILL: And because it
does, nobody can stop you. CONGREGATION: That's right.
Amen. Amen. BILL: He said "A good man, out of the good
treasure of his heart, brings forth," What? "Good things." So
where was my airplane before it was out there? It was in my
heart. And if you get an airplane in your heart, it'll
come out there too. Say amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: One
man said this, "People are not poor because they don't have
enough money or don't have a job that pays much. They are poor
because of what they choose to create." CONGREGATION: Amen.
BILL: You can create a millionaire. I'm saying it right
now. You put that in your heart, you put that, I'm just saying,
if you can find it in that book, that means that it's real in
God's eyes. See you can't find retirement in there. 'Cause God
don't have no retirement. I'm not talking about anybody, I'm
telling you what God's got. The Hebrew tells you everything
that's in God's vocabulary. Now I'm saying to you that we can
see more than we think. What Satan has talked us out of is
seeing. He's tried to make us believe that you can't see that.
You're not supposed to see that. You are supposed to see it. You
supposed to see exactly where you going. CONGREGATION: That's
right. That's right. BILL: You may not be able to explain all
of how you get there. But you, The steps of a good man are
ordered by the Lord. CONGREGATION: Amen. Amen. BILL:
Now, y'all got me? What I'm saying? So what I'm saying to
you is I don't care what your condition is. Faith deals with
the unseen and brings it into the seen. Once it's in the seen,
faith is gone. You don't need faith anymore. Faith is done
working. Now are y'all following what I'm saying? But you've got
the kind of faith that if you can find it in that book, faith
will deliver it. I don't care what that doctor said, faith
will make a new part. I don't care. He'll make a new liver,
he'll make a new kidney, faith'll make a new bladder.
Faith'll make new ovaries. Faith will make. You name it, faith
will make it. Faith will make it because it's already made.
CONGREGATION: That's right. Yes sir. BILL: That's why Jesus ...
Most 99.9% of what he did he did with words. Why? Because he had
to transfer stuff. He didn't have to deal with whether or not
the part is worn out enough and the mechanic can't fix it. He
didn't deal with that. He said, "Hey just fill the water pots up
with water. Fill them up. Now, here's what I want you to do,
take a dipper full and take it to the governor of the feast and
let him taste it." Now wait a minute. Mary said, "Whatever he
says to you-" CONGREGATION: Just do it. BILL: ... just do it.
Don't argue with the man." They took it, the governor takes it,
"Man." Now I've been-- -- I've seen it before.
He said, "Why," he said now you ... Many people when they start
having a party, a get together, they normally push out the best
stuff and then after people are drunk, and you know kind of
gotten woozy, then they pull out, you know the, yeah, the
ripple. But you save the best out, you know the, yeah, the
ripple. But you save the best because heaven has the best.
Everything God made, he made the best. When the prodigal son came
back home, he said, "Get the best." He didn't say the one on
sale. Get the best robe and put it on him and put a ring on his
finger. You know what that is. That's that black card that
won't ever run out. And put shoes on his feet. You go to
some of the other scripture, you'll see what that shoes mean.
Talking about land and all that. He said, "My son who was dead is
alive again. He was lost and now he is found. Then the elder
brother got jealous and then what'd he say? "You never gave
me a party." He said, "Son, don't you know everything I had
was always yours?" I said don't you know everything the father
has was always yours? I'm telling you saints, let's don't
get to Heaven and see all the stuff that we missed because
we're trying to be cute out here and not develop our faith. Lift
the bar of your faith and you can lift it yourself by not
backing down but stepping right up to the fact that God said,
"Feed all these people." And you say, "Yes sir." And go forth and
he'll start giving you revelation as to how this thing
is supposed to happen. Say amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: Man he
wants you in a place that not only can you determine by faith
what's gonna happen, but you can determine the money will be here
Friday afternoon at 2:35 and it be right on time. Now say amen.
CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: The biggest thing that has not been
happening is that God's people have not been using their faith.
But we gonna start now. CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: I said
we gonna start now. CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: Say
the works were finished. CONGREGATION: The works were
finished. BILL: From the beginning. CONGREGATION: From
the beginning. BILL: That's found in Hebrews chapter four.
Read it. That's your assignment. 'Cause the works are already
done. Everything is done for you. Now, last thing. Go over
with me to Amos, chapter nine in verse 13, he said, "Behold the
days come saith the Lord, that the plowman shall over take the
reaper and the treader of grapes, him that sows seeds."
Okay, let me try another translation. Yes indeed. It
won't be long now. God's decree. Things are gonna be happening so
fast that your head is gonna swim. You see, we have been
experiencing demonic delays. But God is taking all the delays
away. Because you're about to get a mindset that says
immediately, straight way, right away, and I'm saying to you
right now, you decree a thing. Say in the name of Jesus.
CONGREGATION: In the name of Jesus. BILL: From this day.
CONGREGATION: From this day. BILL: There will be no more hold
ups. CONGREGATION: There will be no more hold ups. BILL: No more
setbacks. CONGREGATION: No more setbacks. BILL: No more delays.
CONGREGATION: No more delays. BILL: From this day forward.
CONGREGATION: From this day forward. BILL: What I speak.
CONGREGATION: What I speak. BILL: Will manifest.
CONGREGATION: Will manifest. BILL: Speedily. CONGREGATION:
Speedily. BILL: In the name of Jesus. Say I decree.
CONGREGATION: I decree. BILL: I confess. CONGREGATION: I
confess. BILL: I believe. CONGREGATION: I believe. BILL:
And it is so. CONGREGATION: And it is so. BILL: I'm gonna stay
with it. CONGREGATION: I'm gonna stay with it. BILL: As it
manifests. CONGREGATION: As it manifests. BILL: In the name of
Jesus. CONGREGATION: In the name of Jesus. BILL: Amen.
CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: Now give God some praise and a
thanksgiving. One more place. John chapter four. I'm your
prophet right now. (Speaking in tongues). Verse 34,
John chapter four. Jesus saith in tongues). Verse 34,
John chapter four. Jesus saith unto them, "My meat is to do the
will of my father, of him that sent me and to finish his work."
See we got to finish this work here. "Say not, ye, there are
yet four months, then come the harvest. Behold, I say unto you,
lift up your eyes." Get a revelation and look on the
fields for they are ripe already to harvest." You see, God has a
plan for you. CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: In Psalm chapter
102, and verse 13, he says this. He says, "Thou shall arise and
have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favor her, yea the set
time," Come on, "Is come." He says in Job chapter 22 and verse
28, "Thou shall also," What? "Decree a thing." And what'll
happen? CONGREGATION: It shall be established unto you. BILL:
It's gonna be established unto you. Now if we go back to the
man who was carried on the cot, and carried right there to the
doorway, but he couldn't get in, 'cause all them naysayers were
in the house, busy trying to catch Jesus in his words.
But what happened? They said, "Let's go up on the roof."
You see what I'm saying? I'm saying we about to press our way
through all that religion that told us this and told us that.
We about to manifest and what I say is here, I put it in my
notebook. I said that you are going to break protocol.
Protocol says just wait outside 'til it's your turn. No
we about to tear a roof open here. We about
to break protocol, why? Because we got
to finish his work BILL:. Well I trust that you
were blessed by that powerful message, now let me leave you
with a very important point from this message. In Amos 9:13 in
the Message Translation, it says this, "Yes indeed, it won't be
long now. God's decree, things are gonna happen so fast, your
head will swim." Now what am I saying? That many times as
believers, we've been experiencing demonic delays. It
wasn't God. It was demonic delays. Well God has taken all
that away. The delay is going away. Praise God, so get ready
for an acceleration of manifestation. Are you ready for
it? Get everything ready 'cause what you're believing for
is about to manifest. Praise God. Well, until
next time, this is Bill Winston saying we love you,

take a moment to share a couple of
testimonies with you that have come from our Prayer Call
Center. We have a call center that's set up to pray with
people who would call in. Now, we've created this center for
you. The partners, the viewers. Those who would call in and need
prayer for any matter. Doesn't make any difference. We want to
pray with you, stand and agree with you. Whatever we need
to believe God for you for the things that you need God to do
in your life. Here is a testimony that was given to me
This came in from Florida. It's a particular person had a family
member that was in a coma. That had been in a coma for two weeks
and that this family was being challenged as whether to take
the person off of life support or just leave them on. Well,
this one person decided to call the prayer center here at Bill
Winston Ministries and that prayer minister prayed with them
and believed God for that person's deliverance or that
person to come out of that coma. Shortly after the family called
this person and reported that the dear sister that was in a
coma opened her eyes and woke up and then asked for a drink of
water. They asked what time that this sister called the prayer
center. What time did they pray for this dear sister in the
hospital? They prayed at 11:16 AM in the morning. That is the
exact time this sister woke up from a coma that she had been in
for two weeks. Praise God. Let me give you another one. This
testimony comes from Illinois. This particular person called
for prayer for their godmother. She had stage four cancer and
was going to have surgery. After they had received prayer from
the Prayer Call Center. The doctor started the surgery but
could not any longer find cancer in this person's body. These are
actual testimonies that have been coming in. I'm just saying
here that if you need prayer, if you need somebody to agree with
you, we've got people that know how to get a hold of God. I'm
telling you. You see, God's plan is that we all be healed. God's
plan that we all be delivered. God's plan that we all have
enough or abundance or whatever have you. If you're going
through something that isn't God's plan, in other words,
there's something in your situation there that you know is
not God's will for your life, call that prayer center. They're
standing by. These folk know how to pray. As you pray with them
and they agree with you, we going to believe God that every
need of your life is going to be met. Remember we're
here for you and the Prayer Call Center is available.
