The believers walk of faith is paid for by Bill Winston Ministries partners and viewers.
Hello, Bill Winston here. I come to announce the fact that you're moving up. Praise God. It's called moving up to 4D. What happens in our lives once people get born again? They don't realize that there's a whole another dimension that they can operate in. They're still many times operating in 3D. Now time, space, and matter become their boundaries. No longer. This book tells you how to move up to your God-given dimension. It's 4 D. It's where you can dominate anything in the natural world. Dominate sickness, dominate disease, dominate financial problems. 4 D is about the impossible. That's where the impossible is done in 4D. Praise God. Get that book. You will be blessed. Bill Winston saying we love you. Keep walking by faith.
Up next on the believer's walk of faith. If I'm going to get faith and develop my faith, revelation is a key to me having faith. Faith is not there without knowledge. I've got to have knowledge to get to faith. And the more knowledge I have, talking about revelation, the more knowledge I have, the more faith I can generate. Well, I've got to develop revelation knowledge. I got to get in this book and I got to get in here till this book starts talking to me.
[Music] God does nothing apart from faith. He needs faith. If you are going to appropriate the blessings of God, you need faith. Amen. I started believing God for parking space downtown Chicago when I went down or a necktie. That's where I started. Now I'm believing for airplanes. I'm believing for shopping malls. Now understand what's doing this. It's my faith. And because your faith has that kind of effect, Satan fights faith. Now, I I know you look sharp, but he's not fighting you. He's coming after one thing, your faith. That's right. And the Bible tells us in 1 Timothy chapter 6 and verse 12, fight the good fight of faith. Now what does this mean? It means not that we are fighting the devil or denominations or other people. What we're doing is fighting, as TL Osborne says, we're fighting to believe. That's what we're fighting for. And he said to believe what God said. And we're resisting the voices and the circumstances or evidence that tell us otherwise. That's good.
Now, you got to get that. This is important. I'm start with the fundamentals. I was listening to a tape and brother Copeland was talking about um his son Jeremy. was preaching uh his grandson Jeremy was preaching and he was preaching and he talked about masters and he said you know what what you're some people playing golf and they're in the masters and he said all that is is they've mastered the fundamentals that's good that's all and I think as you are growing in faith, you're mastering the fundamentals of faith. This is what I'm giving you right now is part of the fundamentals. And so God wants us to master those fundamentals so we can grow in faith. Faith is also important because faith puts you in partnership with God. That's right. Come on. Faith puts you in partnership with God. Now, this partnership is is very powerful because when you're in partnership with God, things happen. Yes. Amen. Amen. Yes. When Daniel was in partnership with God, God went in the lion's den with him. That's right. Well, when the three Hebrews went in the fire, come on. God went in the fire with them. That's right. Yes, sir. If you remember in the book of Acts, in Acts chapter 12, when Peter was in prison and they were supposed to execute him the next day, the church prayed unceasingly and an angel showed up. Yeah. And when that angel showed up, the angel hit him and said, "Let's go." And the Bible says that the chains drop from his hands. See, when God shows up, what's holding you let you go. Not only that, they were going out of the city and the Bible says the gate opened on its own. Wow. Wow. That means whatever's holding you, whatever's standing blocking you is going to move on its own.
Now, you wait till I get to the second part of this because I'm just talking about faith now. Because for what I'm going to talk about, you're going to need faith to receive it and faith to do it. Come on. Come on. All right. So now he said, "I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it's a power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith. For it is written, the just shall live by faith. Again, going from faith to faith. All right. Revelation. Revelation. If I'm going to get faith and develop my faith, revelation is a key to me having faith. Faith is not there without knowledge. I've got to have knowledge to get to faith. And the more knowledge I have, talking about revelation, the more knowledge I have, the more faith I can generate. That's right. Glory to God. That's good. Well, I've got to develop revelation knowledge. I got to get in this book and I got to get in here till this book starts talking to me. Are you following what I'm saying?
I I I see it. Um, for example, here was um I was told by God, God said, "I want you to leave the company and go full-time ministry." Well, I tried to leave several times and as I tried to leave, it seemed like every time something would come up or whatever have you, but I just wouldn't have enough faith to do it. I just just couldn't get there. If you look at a scripture found in Proverbs and Proverbs chapter 24 and he says this in verse 5, a wise man is strong and a man of knowledge increases strength. Verse 10, if you faint in the day of adversity is because your strength is small. And what it's saying here, if you go up against it and here God's asking me to leave and I just every time I set a date, I'd break the date so forth and so on. Why? My strength was small. That's true. But what did I do? I heard one time a man named Jerry Sevel and he preached on on seed time and harvest. And he went to Mark's gospel chapter 10 verse 29 and 30. No man that's left house, mother, father, sister, brother, lands for my sake. And where he put lands, I put IBM for my sake in the gospels. But it shall receive a hundfold. Now in this time, what did I do? I got that scripture, began to meditate. Meditate is the missing link in many Christians life. And I began to meditate it. And once I did, one day on University Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota. That scripture came alive inside of me like a like a bomb. Boom. Just went off. And I called my wife said, "Baby, I'm leaving this company." She said, "Well, praise the Lord." Notice what happened. I needed knowledge. They needed knowledge. Amen. Look what it says over here in Isaiah. In Isaiah chapter 5 verse 13, therefore my people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge. Wow. I heard Sister Gloria say this one time. I I heard it. I said, "Boy, that thing just ministered to me." Very simple. She a lady came to her and said, "I'm trying to do all I know to get my healing." Do you know what's wrong? She said, 'Ye, you don't know enough. Are you following what I'm saying? I'm saying that's so good. A revelation. A revelation. And the more you have, the greater faith you can generate. Come on. It's not how many scriptures you know, it's the depth that you can go to. Yes, sir. In what you're looking for. So good. God wants to give it all to you.
Let me read something that my dear friend, Bishop David Oedipo, said. He said this. Your portion and inheritance will remain a mere daydream until you catch a revelation of what it is. Your portion or inheritance will remain a mere daydream until you catch a revelation of what it is. Now, let's look back at Genesis chapter 13. This is God teaching Abraham as he taught Abraham. Of course, pay attention to that because God's going to deal with you a lot the same way. And look what he says here starting here at verse Genesis 13 and verse 14. And he says this. And the Lord said unto Abram after that Lot was separated from him, lift up now your eyes and look on the place where you are, northward, southward, eastward, and westward. Watch this. For all the land which you see, to thee will I give it to thy seed forever. All the land you see I'm going to give it to you. So good. Come on. Now, he may be talking to me that same conversation right in here right now. So, you know, he's not talking about my natural eyes. Yeah. Because I can't see any further than the crowd that's back there. He's saying, "All the land you see, all the land you see, everything that's revealed to you, shall be given to you." Wow. This is what he said to Abraham. Come on now.
Over. Look at Joshua. Joshua. Glory to God. The man of faith. Joshua chapter 6. God speaking to Joshua. Look what he's saying here in verse one. And Jericho straightly shut up because of the children of Israel. None went out and none came in. And the Lord said unto Joshua, "See, I have given into your hand Jericho and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor." Now, wait a minute. He hadn't fought the battle yet. Come on. I said he hadn't fought the battle yet. That's right. Hallelujah. And when you look in that scripture, you'll see in First John in chapter 5 and verse four, this is the victory. Yes, sir. Come on. Even our what? Faith. Faith sees the future and seizes it. It sees what's out there. See, I've given it to you. You got to see yourself trying on that new suit. Come on. You got to see yourself down about 50 pounds. Uh, excuse me.
Let me take another example. Uh he amen came a man came and visited Dr. Cho. He's a fellow preacher and he preached and he visited with him and this is written up his in his book called the fourth dimension. And so uh the man you know visited with him and and Dr. Cho said oh before we go anywhere he said would you pray for her? He said why? He said well she's believing God for her husband. And he turned to her and said, 'Oh, how long have you been believing?' She said something like 15 years or something. He said, 'Well, what have you been praying? Come on, that's good. I'm talking about something now. I'm saying it's amazing. I believe I believe. I believe I received. I believe I've received. I I believe I believe I've received. I've heard brother Jesse talk about that. How long is this going to go on? That's good. Yeah. Come on. Now, I want you to see something because people who teach on vision say this that when the vision is clear, you accelerate towards your goal. Revelation clears it up. Man. And so what he did, he said, "Well, listen. Let me tell you how to do this." And it goes through the book, and I I don't think I have it exactly right, but he said, "I want you to do this. I want you to take 10 points down. I want you to take 1 through 10 and you uh be able to describe the man that you want to marry, what race or background, what country from, what profession he's in, so forth and so on. Notice he didn't say just believe for somebody, you know, Lord, send me anything. Well, that's some some people got just that. They got just that. They believe God and got it. All right. Now, but he had described it and described this thing. And I'm telling you, once that description was made, he said, "Now, I want you to go and let's believe you've received it when you pray. And let's pray and believe we receive." Mark 11:24. It's all principles in it. These are foundations of faith that makes you a master. Hallelujah. It's very easy. Faith is one of the simplest applications I think that you can make it. God made it so even a 12-y old can do it. Come on. So what happens? She did that and then he said, "Now get before the mirror each day for I don't know some length of time like two weeks or something and and confess these things before the mirror and so forth and you'll start seeing it." So the man visited Dr. Joe, went and left. Then he came back some month later or whatever have you and and visited Dr. Joe and Dr. Joe said, "Uh, oh, by the way, um, she got married." And he said, "Who?" He said, "You know the lady that you prayed for and gave some instructions?" He said, "Oh, she did." She said, "What happened?" She said, "Well, he she did exactly what you said, and then in the summertime, there were some school teachers who got off for the summer, and they had a praise and worship group, and they were going around the different churches and and and doing that. And one of the guys that was with them, all the women just swooned after him, but there was only one woman that he was interested in. He said he was the right group. He was he was tall, dark, and handsome. He was out Bill Win. He looked like Bill Winston. And uh don't hate, don't hate, don't hate, participate. My point described him to a tea. That's no different than my wife. We're down at ORU. I'm full-time in seminary. And that's what he, she said, sweetheart, I need to get employment here. She said, I've gone to these employment companies and they're saying everybody's laying people off because in Tulsa, the economy is in a ditch and people are getting laid off. I said, well, let's get the word of God. Let's get back over in faith. And we got the word of God and saw promises in there. He He He always causes me to try. My God shall supply all my need. Ask and you shall be given. Are you following what I'm saying? She got these promises. We believe we received it. And that was it. She started confessing it and she start putting up little 3x5 cards everywhere in the house. And why? Because these are faith props. These are things that Jacob used when he put up the rods by the water pots. And you see it keeps you focused on God. He said, "My son, attend to my word." That means focus in on it and let it not depart from. She began to say those every day. Then God spoke to me. He said, "God said, you are to write down exactly what you want." She got a card. She began to write it down. I want it in the employment in computers. That's where we came out of. I wanted a a nice office. I wanted 10 minutes from the house. I want to have it uh uh uh nice uh this salary, certain salary, and I want to have a car with it. Put it all down. Begin to confess and believe we received it. And I remember the day a friend of mine came over, a classmate, and he came to visit me and she was out on the front lawn. And he spoke to her and she he spoke to her. Said, "Sister Veronica, is Bill in?" She said, "Yeah, he's in the house." "Oh, by the way, you got your job yet?" What do you think? She said, "Absolutely." Cuz she's got to talk faith. See, once she believed, she received it. It's done. Are you with me here? And so, what happened next is he said, "Well, where is it?" That's you know, the devil pushes in. Where? Where is it? He She said, "I don't know where it is, but I got it." Hallelujah. Are you following what I'm saying? So, I come home for dinner and I come home and and and and some soup was cooking. I said, "We going to have some soup today." I smell it smells good. She said, "This is not for us." I said, "Oh, yes it is. It who is it for? I just this my house." and uh and and and she said, "No, this is for for them. They fall on some hard times and God spoke to my heart about sewing a seed." And she swed that seed. Two or three or four days later, got a call said, "Uh, is Mrs. Winston in?" "Yes, she's in." "Uh, Mrs. Winston, we'd like you to come down. I think I've got something for you." I was I'm new here at the uh employment agency, but I I saw your I was throwing out some papers and saw your application, and I think I've got something for you. and she went and visited the company. The company said yes. She came back. I said, "Baby, how did we do?" She got the card. Now, I'm only saying she just didn't get anything. Now, you can do that. I'm not coming against that. But it's time to go from faith to faith. It's time to go to another level. Now, we we have been at this basic long enough. It's time now to be the master. Praise God. Hallelujah. What happened? She went and interviewed, came back. I said, "How did we do?" We got the card. I said, "Is it 10 minutes from the house?" She said, "Yep, 10 minutes from the house." I said, "It's a nice office." "Yep, nice office." I said, "How about u how about the u uh what? What's next? Salary." She said, "The salary, they paid me 5,000 more than I put on the card." I said, "That was [Music] me. Now take that. And I said, "How about the car?" She said, "They said, go pick up a new Buick." This is part of your inheritance. And I tell you that weeping and nashing of teeth when we get before Jesus is cuz people going to see everything they left down here. Oh my lord. And I'm saying at a meeting like this, you should come to this meeting looking for new revelation. And as you get new revelation, you'll get new faith and you'll go to another level. Amen.
Now, I'm saying that, saints of God, because God's got something for us to do. That's right. Amen. He's got something for us to do. We are put here on purpose. You are not at this meeting by accident. You are here because God has an assignment for you. That's going to take faith to make it happen. Amen. Say, "Amen." Amen. And watch this. I'm going to say this. He's counting on you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He's counting on you. Faith in any believer is the same faith. I want you to get this because to every one of us according to Romans chapter 12:3, God has given the measure of faith. Amen. He gave you the same measure. Come on. He gave me. What's the difference? I've been working mine. Hallelujah. I've been working mine. Now, what did Jesus teach based on that tree? He taught faith. Whosoever shall say to this mountain, "Be thou removed, be thou cast, shall not thou his heart, but shall believe that those things that he said shall come to pass, he'll have whatsoever he says." That's right. Therefore, I say unto you, what things soever you desire when you pray, believe you receive them, you shall have them. Are you follow? Yes, sir. Faith releases the power of God. Glory to God. I'm going to get that in a second hand. Faith releases the power of God. So, as I speak in faith, things happen. Things happen. Cuz I'm partnering with who? God.
[Music] Well, praise the Lord. I trust that you enjoyed that teaching. Now, that's moving from faith to faith. You see, you have to fight the good fight of faith. And the fight is to believe because there's all kinds of forces. Everything on this planet seem to be trying to convince you otherwise. So, the fight is to believe. I got to believe God in the face of contrary evidence. Ain't that powerful that I have to believe God? It's it's going to take the the the impossible to get past what I'm encountering right now. But faith is for the impossible. That's what it's for. Fight the good fight of faith and moving from faith to faith. Praise God. We're about to stretch your faith. Hallelujah. Well, this is Bill Winston saying, "Get to teaching now. You'll be blessed by it." Well, until next time, keep walking by faith.

Hello, this is Bill Winston. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Now you think, "Oh, wait. Now I when I was a kid, I went to church with mom and dad." True enough. But when I got older, I found church was not in me. He He I had never personally received him as my Lord and Savior. Now, one night I did. And when I did, everything changed. I'm saying if you're ready for a change in your life, I want you to receive Jesus. Just ask him this. Jesus, come into my heart. And when you do that, a miracle will take place guaranteed. I want to send you my book. It's called Born Again and Spiritfilled. It'll tell you what the next steps are as a new believer. I want to be the first to say, "Welcome to the family of God." God bless you.
