ANNOUNCER: The Believer's Walk
of Faith is paid for by Bill Winston Ministries
Partners and viewers. BILL: God did say if
they Google your name, then they'll find you at the
top. God said, say amen to that. You're going to be
famous for whatever you do. If you're a bricklayer,
you're going to be one of the bricklayer's best bricklayers
that's ever been seen. If you're ... come on, if you're a
carpenter, if you're a nurse, if whatever you are you're going to
be at the top of whatever you are if you hearken to the
voice of the Lord, your God. BILL: Hello, I'm Bill Winston
and welcome to another program. The program that
you're watching is called The Believer's Walk of
Faith where we walk by faith and not by sight. We're
having another powerful teaching for you today.
Now, we're continuing in the series called Rising to the Top.
Now, we're talking about God's people rising up. Why? Because
God wants us to have the influence in the earth. We have
to redirect this earth back to Christ. Now, this message brings
out a couple of points I want you to remember. One is that
the blessing is designed to fix anything in this earth. I don't
care how bad it is. I don't care how bad a neighborhood it is, I
don't care whether it's the Sahara Desert, the blessing will
turn it into the Garden of Eden. Number two, you must be sold out
to stand out. Praise God! You see in the Kingdom, it operates
by faith and faith makes it so that God must be your only
source. You can't have another trust if you're going to walk in
faith. You've got to only trust God, and to trust God means that
you're going to really walk by faith, and so faith will make
you stand out. You have to be sold out to stand out.
Praise God! Well, get ready let's get some good Word
today. Get your Bibles, and pencil and paper ready.
It's called Rising to the Top. BILL: Jesus paid for your
salvation. He is the Lamb of God. By grace are you saved
what? Through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift
of God. He paid for you to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. He
paid for your healing. Come on now. He paid for your
deliverance. He paid for whatever problems you might be
going through. He paid for that. If he paid for it, you don't
need to pay for it. Not only did he pay for all of those, he paid
for your houses, your cars. He paid for everything that you
need, because the Earth is the Lord's, and the fullness
thereof. Because he has paid for it, these things now are yours,
and now you have to receive them. Glory to God. As you
receive them, satan, you've got to contend with him. Because
he's trying to stop you from getting yourself. Say Amen to
that. CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: I want you to see
something here. The people that are holding it are not really
holding it. The demons are holding it. The Bible said
"the wealth of the," what? CONGREGATION: Wicked. BILL:
"Wicked." That's what he's trying to tell you. That it's
not the people that are holding all that money. It's demons
working through the people holding that money. They're
holding it from you, or us, or the Church, because they know
that they've got to keep you from rising. Because if you
rise, you have influence. If you have influence ... I teach
leadership, and one of the first things that I do about teaching
leadership is defining it in people's minds. A leader is
one who guides by influence. That's the most effective
way to lead a people. You're not forcing
them. You're leading them. So, if you rise and
you've got God, you're going to shift the culture.
You're going to shift the culture and now, you know,
can't no anybody come into your bathroom, you know,
once you shift the culture. See, because now the culture is going
the wrong way and that's because the people who seemingly get up
into the places of influence are people who are not influencing
very well. God wants to put you in the place of influence. The
world cannot stop the slide, the moral slide. They can't stop it.
The only ones that can stop it is the Church because we're the
only ones that can deal with the devil. Mark, chapter 5, verse
one: "And they came over into the other side of the sea, and
into the country of the Gadarenes. And when He was come
out of the ship, immediately there met Him a man out of the
tombs, a man with an unclean spirit," check it out, "and he
had dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no,
not with chains:" see? No human person could stop him, "Because
that he had been often bound with chains and fetters, and the
chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken
in pieces: neither could any man," what? "tame him. And
always, night and day, he was in the mountains in the tombs
crying and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus
afar off, he ran and worshipped Him, and he cried with a loud
voice, and said, what have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of
the most high God? I adjure you by God, that you torment me
not." What is this man doing advertising? No. He's trying to
tell Jesus I know who you are. You are not a man, so,
therefore, only a man can cast me out, but Jesus was fully God,
come on, and fully man. So, he set all His Godhead ability and
He had to grow in wisdom, just like you did because He's
showing you everything He's asking you to do, He did
himself. Look at the next verse: "And He said unto him, Come out
of the man, you unclean spirit. And He asked him, What is
your name? He said, my name is Legion: for we are many."
Notice, this man was not under his own control. Demons were
using him to control the entire coastline, and, that coastline
had to also do with economics. You look and study economics in
the Bible, and you'll see it's got to do with currency. It's
got to do with shipping ways, and so forth, and so on. So, I'm
just telling you that demons control people who've got the
goods and they tell them what to do with it. You get them to give
something to the church for evangelism and preaching the
Gospel, and see how long they're going to hold it. If you don't
pray with them, the devil will take it right away. Now, I'm not
saying they're against ... I'm not saying hate anybody because
we wrestle not against what? Flesh and blood, but against
what? Principalities. You get a bunch of money and see those
demons come with it. Now, I'm not saying they're going to
affect you. I'm just saying they don't want you to have it
because they know what you're going to do with it. You're
going to help Bill Winston get this Gospel out all over the
world. Now, so, the Earth is the whose? Lord's. And, you, the
Bible says He's the King of who? Kings, and He's the Lord of who?
Lords. Kings function by decree. They speak things and those
around them bring it to pass, and you were never meant ... you
were meant to decree things, and when you do decree things,
you're supposed to speak to a mountain, and angels will be
working with you bringing things to pass because you can't do it
naturally. You're not going to get a demon to bow naturally.
You're going to have to step back, and get in the faith, and
speak to that thing releasing the power of God. As many demons
as I've cast out, you can't cast them out naturally. One demon,
I went to cast him out, and he talked about my coat. Really. It
was up there on Madison Street. About to cast the demon out, he
started talking about, "That old coat you that you've got on,"
speaking through that lady, "that old coat that you've got
on, look at it. It's raggedy. Look at it right on the
chain." See? Trying to draw me into the flesh. I said,
"You come out there you foul, unclean, you don't know what a
good coat is anyway." I want you to hear me and see what I'm
talking about folks. Now, what's going to happen with this? When
that stuff comes over, your influence is going up. Now, look
what He says, see, it can't help but come over because if you're
operating in the blessing, the blessing's going to take you to
the top. Lord, have mercy. Go to Genesis ... are y'all still with
me? CONGREGATION: Yes! BILL: Now, y'all don't mind if I talk
about this? See, you're mature enough to hear this because God
is taking you somewhere. See, we've got to shift this culture
back. Man, they're going too far. It's getting crazy. All
right, turn to Genesis chapter 12. All right, verse one, "Now
the Lord said unto Abram, get thee out of that country from
thy kindred, from thy father's house, into a land that I'm
going to show you." Now, let me tell you what my understanding
of that is. One is that He's taking him off of the system
that he's been trusting in. Why? Because He's going to deliver
people out of that system, and you can't deliver people out of
a system you depend on; so, you've got to break your
dependency on the system to get the people who are in the system
out of the system. You got it? You can't do that folks. You
can't be a chain smoker and get somebody delivered of a nicotine
demon. Somebody's got to be free. All right, look what He
said in verse 2, "And I'll make of you a great nation. I'll
bless you and I'll make your name great, and you'll be a
blessing: I'm going to bless those that bless you, and curse
those that curse you: and in thee shall all families of the
earth be," what? CONGREGATION: Blessed. BILL: "Blessed." All
right, let's dwell on that just a minute. You are redeemed
to be outstanding. That's a tweet. But, it takes
being sold out to stand out. Make sense to you? CONGREGATION:
Yes. BILL: All right, now what am I saying here? I'm saying
people, Lord have mercy ... He said, "I'm going to make
your name great." Put that same Scripture up there in the
Amplified. Are you with me? CONGREGATION: Yeah. BILL: "I
will make of you a great nation. I will bless you [with abundant
increase of favors]." One day of favor is worth a lifetime of
labor. "And make your name famous and distinguished, and
you will be a blessing," doing what? "[Dispensing goods to
others.]" Wherever you are you should be famous for what you
do. One more time, wherever ... see, you've got, listen, you
don't do this, I will make your name famous. Not one time did I
think about being famous. The only thing I did was when He
said go right I went right. When He said go left I went
left. When He said, buy the mall I bought the
mall. When He said go by an airplane I
bought the airplane. I'm not saying you've got to do
it. You've got to have faith in Him that He can do what He said
He wants you to do. Say amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: The
thing of it is, we get so puffed up in ourselves, we get so big
on our self, thinking we all that. Honey, go up against a
demon and see if you're all of that. I'm telling you what's
all of that is what's in you. Greater is He that is in you
than he that is in the world. I'm telling you there are forces
of evil that don't want you to even think like what I'm telling
you about. I told you I read the Scripture, God said I'm going to
make you famous. You say, how can He make me famous? I've been
married 5 times. Forget that! I'm talking about the future.
He said, I'm going to make you famous. I've been in prison 3
times. I don't care where you've been. He's about to take you
somewhere you never went before. Don't say, I've not been to
Harvard. I've not been to Yale. I've not been to Princeton. He
can make you proficient in whatever He called you to do
because He is God almighty! He is not a man. He's God
almighty and He's given this earth to you from the core to
the surface to the core: every piece of gold, everything in
oil. If they are unsaved, it belongs to you. He said, occupy
until I come. You don't have to do it. What you have to do is
step back and speak to that mountain. I command you to come
into my hand! Now, this is where I'm taking you. That is the
Gospel folks. You're so powerful till you create. That's why
you've got to watch what you say. You go to a physician, or
you go to a lawyer, and he says something that's against your
covenant rights, or against your promises, you better watch
repeating that. I said you've got to watch repeating that
because you're designed to create. Are you following what
I'm saying? You can't ... God doesn't (speaking in the
tongues). See, whatever God's got for you is already done for
you. Whatever God's got for you is already done for you. He's
already healed you. He's already delivered you. He's already made
you rich. He's already given you the house. He's already ... it
doesn't make any difference. Now, what are you going to do
with your mouth? You're going to bring it forth, bring it forth.
That's called creation. Boy, y'all got me preaching like a
house on fire. You were made like your Father to speak things
into existence. That's why you've got to watch your mouth
especially as I take you higher in this blessing. You're going
to have to watch what you say because what you say is what
you're going to see. Now give the Lord a shout for me.
CONGREGATION: Yeah! BILL: Yes. the Lord a shout for me.
CONGREGATION: Yeah! BILL: Yes. You're going to be that if
someone Googles your name, and looks you up to get more
information about you, your name should be at the top of your
profession. Your name should be, come on now. Look at Deuteronomy
7 and 14. In Deuteronomy 7 and 14, God says something here
through Moses. He says, "Thou shalt be blessed above all
people." Thou shalt be blessed above all people. I'm going to
say it again, thou shalt be blessed above all people. Look
at Deuteronomy chapter 28, and look at 28 and verse 11.
Deuteronomy 28 and verse 11, and he said this,
"And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit
of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit
of your ground, in the land which the Lord thy God sware
unto thy fathers to give you." Watch this, "And the Lord shall
open unto you His good treasure in Heaven and give you rain in
your land and season and bless all the work of your hands and
thou shalt," what? "Lend to many nations," keep going, "and thou
shalt not borrow," keep going. "And the Lord shall make thee,"
the Lord shall make thee, the Lord shall make thee, the Lord
shall make thee, the Lord shall make thee, "the head, and not
the tail; and you shalt be above only, and shalt not be beneath."
See, God is saying, if they Google your name they're going
to find you at the top. God's saying, say amen to that!
CONGREGATION: Amen! BILL: You're going to be famous for whatever
you do. If you're a bricklayer, you're going to be one of the
bricklayers best bricklayers that's ever been seen. If
you're, come on, if you're a carpenter, if you're a nurse, if
whatever you are, you're going to be at the top of whatever you
are, if you hearken to the voice of the Lord your God! I don't
care whether it's sports. I don't care whether it's out in
Hollywood, He wants you to be at the top. Why? Because He wants
you to turn people from darkness to light. God is concerned about
the world, and He put you in the world so that you can bring the
Garden of Eden wherever you go, and they want to ask about you.
Let me Google her and see who she is. Well, wow, wow, wow,
wow, wow! Look at ... woo-hoo! Wee! Now, stop calling yourself,
I'm this. I'm that. No, no, God sees you at the top and if you
just let Him have you and that blessing embrace you, it's going
to take you to the top of your game. I'm going to make
you famous and, what? Distinguished. There's a
generation out there that's going to waste. They've
got their britches so far down on the legs until
you can't hardly see the pockets. I'm saying we've
got to get them britches up. We, come on, get the slack
out. Got people that don't want to work, don't want to do
anything but shoot somebody. That's got to change, and it's
time for it to change right now. You might say, well I don't know
whether I agree with all that. Well, get saved because it's in
the Book. I'm reading the Book. I'm not going outside...folks,
the Church are the only ones that can hold back
iniquity. We're the only ones that can hold it back. Nothing
can stop Satan except the Church. He's going to
continue to cultivate his society until what? Until no
more people exist because he can't keep anything alive. Why?
Because he's a dead spirit. You saw that in Star Wars, The Dark
Side. Folks, there's stuff you don't know that's got you held
back, but I'm laying it out on you. Watch this, the building
already belongs to you. Now this is what the ten spies refused
to preach. Why? Mnh-mnh. Too far out there and you're
going to remember when you start prospering
somebody's going to get jealous. but when they
get jealous, that's a sign that the devil's being
tormented. Make them jealous. The Bible says Jesus is going to
stir up jealousy like ... ooo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. Make
them jealous. Drive it, swim in it. Glory to God. He needs you
to have confidence in His ability to get it done. He's
just going to guide your steps. You see the biggest part of
that blessing is us influencing people and then they come in the
church, and say, "Hey, I want what you've got." That's why I
say if you get the blessing, and you don't bless others pretty
soon that thing will start slowing down. Why? Because it
just becomes a swamp. It's got no outlet. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Boy, I can see it now. No matter what profession you're in He's
taking you to the top. He's going to make your name famous
and distinguished. When that program that came on, Rich and
Famous, you're going to be on there. Oh, I know her. She used
to be ... she was riding the bus. I saw her riding the bus
coming to church. She ain't riding the bus no more. You
didn't have to qualify for your salvation. You didn't have to
earn your healing. You didn't have to earn your being filled
with the Holy Ghost. There's nothing in there you have to
earn. See, if God made it so you have to earn it, then His idea
about inheritance is not true. You can't make a person who's
got an inheritance earn it. It's an inheritance. Say, amen.
CONGREGATION: Amen. BILL: And, God will either give you
the thing or the thing to get the thing. Now, understand this,
don't think just because you're coming in here it's going to
happen by osmosis. Now, you've got to act on the blessing.
Okay, and this is something that God wants to do because
ultimately, He wants His people back. That's the bottom line
of it. He wants to get the world back to Him. Let
loose of that thing, and they won't let it go
unless they see something better, and you're going
to show something better. ANNOUNCER: No matter
your job or profession, as a believer you were designed
to dominate. Obey God. Embrace the blessing
and allow it to take you to the top. To order your

I'm here with my wife, Veronica. We would like to take a moment
to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. In the Book
of Psalms 107, in verse 1, it says, "Oh give thanks unto the
Lord for he is good and his mercy endureth forever." As we
go through this holiday season, it's important to remember to
take time and give God thanks for who he is, and all that he's
done, and all that he's going to do. VERONICA: We're also
thankful to God for you, our partners and viewers. You mean
so much to us. We'd like to thank you for all your prayers
and gifts of support. Together we are taking the Gospel to the
nations and transforming so many lives through the power of Jesus
Christ. BILL: In August of this year, God gave me a prophetic
Word. That Word is for you. By December 25th of 2016, your life
will be drastically different than it is right now. That is
better. The Word says, "Believe the prophet and so shall you
prosper." As we've spoken this Word, whatever you've been
believing God for, stand on his Word and expect to see something
come to pass this year. VERONICA: I'd like to say a
special prayer for you and your family. Let's pray. Father God,
we thank you for our partners and our friends. We come to you,
asking you to help us to be ever mindful of your goodness,
and grateful for your presence to guide us, encourage
us, comfort us and inspire us. Lord
God, we pray for a mighty revival among every nation
on the face of the earth. That every man, woman, boy
and girl will come to know you. Lord God, we just invite
you into our nations. We invite you into our homes and into
our communities, into our governments, into our school
systems, into our judicial systems. We invite the power and
the presence of God to fill the earth as the waters cover the
seas. Lord, we are ever grateful to you because this is the
generation that shall serve the Lord. We pray for all our
partners and viewers that you would bless them in their
homes, in Jesus name, Amen. BILL: Praise God now. For
all those that are here at Bill Winston Ministries, all the
workers, all those who have helped to bring this Gospel to
you all over the world, this is Pastor Winston and Sister
Veronica saying, TOGETHER: Happy Thanksgiving. We love you
and keep walking by faith. (Music)
