ANNOUNCER: The Believer’s
Walk of Faith is paid for

by Bill Winston Ministries’
partners, and viewers.

BILL: See all you’ve got
to do is believe it. And

if you believe it, it will
work for you and you

won’t have to try to struggle
to get anything, it

will come on you and
overtake you and put

you on the top. It is
designed for that folks.

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. Well
we have an exciting program

for you today. It’s called
Rising to the Top, Volume

II. Now here are a couple of
points out of today’s message.

One, through your union
with Jesus, everything that God

promised Abraham is yours, too.
You have to remember that. You

are a seed of Abraham. Now,
being the seed of Abraham, what

he promised Abraham is mine,
too. So in the Message

translation, if you go on down,
it says Abraham was loaded.

That’s what it says over in
Genesis chapter 13 and verse 2.

I mean, one translation says
“he was very rich.” I think

that’s the Amplified. Now, what
does that have to do with you?

Because the enemy knows that the
day you get loaded, he can no

longer dictate to you what to
do. It’s amazing what happens

when you get options. And money
many times and wealth. It gives

you options. So a lot of times
God’s people are just barely

making it when God wants
us loaded. Now it’s not

just for you and me. It’s
for us to help other

people and that’s what
it’s all about, that you

will be a blessing. Number
two, the blessing will produce

ideas, dreams, business
strategies, all kinds of things.

And the more you embrace the
blessing, the more it will

produce in your life. Try to do
this. When you write down

blessing, always capitalize the
B. Because we’re talking about

the Blessing. In other words,
there’s nothing else like it.

Now God gave this revelation to
me. Why? Because He wanted me to

give it to you. That’s one of
the jobs of the prophet, is to

prosper God’s people. So he gave
it to me, and if it wasn’t for

you, you wouldn’t be listening
at me right now. Before time

was, we were supposed to
meet up right here. It’s

time for you to rise to
the top. Let’s go into it

right now. Get your Bibles
and pencils and papers

ready, it’s a powerful
message. Rising to the Top.

BILL: So this blessing is
going to take you to the

top. I don’t care where you
start out, this empowerment from

God to make you successful.
And the lifestyle of a believer

should stagger the imagination
of the world. Why? You should be

operating that far above them.
Now as your confidence in this

blessing increases, so does the
power of the blessing operating

in your life. You’re going to
find that it will do things for

you and that’s why we read that
scripture over in Proverbs

chapter 10 and verse 22, “The
blessing of the Lord, it maketh

rich and he addeth no sorrow
with it.” And we looked at

that in the NIV translation,
“The blessing of the Lord

brings wealth without painful
toil.” So your days of toiling

are over. Genesis chapter 12,
and verse 1, “And the Lord has

said to 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

and I will make of you a great
nation, I will bless you, make

your name great, you will be a
blessing. I will bless them that

bless you and I will curse them
that curse you and in these

shall all families of the earth
be blessed. And then Abraham

departed.” What we said in
verse 2, let’s look at that in

another translation. We said the
Amplified translation. And just

see what he says. He says,
“That I will make of you a

great nation, I’ll bless you
with abundant increase of favors

and make your name famous and
distinguished and you’ll be a

blessing dispensing goods to
others.” So let’s start with

this. God never intends for you
to be a nobody. Never. He never

intended for you not to have
wealth. He never intended for

you not to have talent. Never
intended for you not to have

skills. Never intended for you
not to have ownership. Never

intended for you not to have
influence. No, he planned on

that. And this is what he’s
saying right here. And he said

it over in this other
scriptures. In Deuteronomy

chapter 7 and verse 14 he talks
about what your position is

going to be. He says “And thou
shall be blessed above some

people,” how many people?
“All people.” In Deuteronomy

28 he says in verse 1, he said
“If you hearken diligently to

the voice of the Lord thy
God and observe and do all his

commandments which I commanded
this day that the Lord thy God

will set thee high above all
nations of the earth all all

these blessings shall come
on you,” come on, “all these

blessings shall come on you and
overtake you.” So this

blessing, on Abraham, was a
material blessing. And that’s

why people start talking about,
well wait a second now, God was

talking spiritually. He was
talking spiritually? Abraham

wasn’t spiritual. Jesus hadn’t
come. So God chose this man and

he chose him when he was up
there worshiping moons and cows.

He brought him out of the land
of Ur of the Chaldees. And he

chose him and said I’m going to
bless you. Now what is he saying

to him? He’s saying I want you
to leave all of that, the many

gods that you’ve been worshiping
and get one god and have it to

be me. And I’m going to take you
somewhere. Now where I’m going

to take you I’m going to do
everything for you. I’m going to

take care of you, I’m going to
get you opportunities for you,

I’ll get your resources to come
to you, I’ll, whatever you’re

struggling with I’m going turn
it around. The difficulties that

are in your life I’m going to
turn them around to your favor.

I’m going to cause things to
manifest for you. I’m going to

protect you. I’m going to
preserve your life so you’re

going to live a 175. I’m going
to make it so that things

you’ve been struggling with
you’ll struggle with no more.

I’m going to make it so that who
ever is trying to hold you back

they can’t hold you because I’m
going to promote you. I’m going

to make it so that you have
business strategies. I’m going

… Remember, whatever he said
to Abraham, he’s saying to you.

Don’t confuse your condition
with your promise or with your

portion. Because God has said
this is what I want to happen to

you. I do not want you to be
without wealth. I don’t want you

to be without talent, without
skill, without influence,

without ownership. That’s what
he’s saying here. Now our part

of that is we’ve got to live up
to it. Now what we said is that

you head towards the top you
going to be persecuted. And can

you stand to be blessed. So
everything he promised Abraham

is mine. In full. Say “in full”.
Okay. Like I told you before,

don’t think that just as the
blessing goes on in time, that

somehow this blessing loses its
strength. You know what I mean?

Like Kool-aid, the more water
you put in there the weaker it

gets. Not with the blessing. It
is just as strong on you as it

was on Adam. You’ve got to learn
how to use it. All right look at

Genesis chapter 13, 13 and verse
2. “And Abraham was very rich

in cattle and silver and
gold.” Let’s look at that in

the Amplified translation.
“Now Abraham was extremely

rich in livestock and in silver
and gold.” Extremely rich.

Let’s try the Message
translation. We gonna play with

this thing. “But Abraham was
very rich, loaded.” That’s

what I want right there. See,
let me tell you, wait a minute,

wait a minute. You better
get used to finding different

translations because you got to
find a translation that pops.

You know what I mean? Because
when it does, you won’t forget

it. That a man was loaded. You
all know Bill Winston? Loaded.

Come one. I’m just saying, see.
And when it pops like that to

me, I can remember it. That’s it
right there, praise God. You all

with me? All right so let’s look
at Genesis chapter 14, all

right? Genesis chapter 14, I’ll
start at verse 14 and this is

when, this is when Lot was
taken by the enemy. The enemy

was Kedorlaomer. He was a king.
He was a big bully. Bully.

And he bullied everybody. So
he went down and took Lot, took

Sodom and Gomorrah, all
the people, all the goods,

everything and he and about four
other nations, three other

nations, whatever it was, they
confederated together and got

them and I mean got out of town.
They had everything, wiped them

out. But Abraham heard about
it. His name was Abram at

that time. He heard about it.
“Abram heard that his nephew was

taken captive and he armed his
trained servants, born in his

own house, 318 and pursued them
to Dan.” Now I want you to see

this. “And he divided himself
against them and he and his

servants, by night, and smote
them and pursued them to Hobah

which is on the left hand
of Damascus.” Keep going. “And

he brought back all the goods
and also brought back again his

brother Lot and his goods and
the women also and the people.

And the king of Sodom went out
to meet him after the return of

the slaughter of Kedorlaomer.”
Now he didn’t just get whipped.

He got slaughtered. I wanted you
to see this because it said, it

gave you the tactics that he
used. Now this is very important

because if you got to Psalms,
Psalms chapter 144 and verse 1,

“He said blessed be the Lord
my strength.” This is David

talking. “Which teacheth my
hands to war.” Keep going.

“And my fingers to fight.”
One of the things that the

blessing gives you is business
strategies. Say amen to this.

Now, what happened with this,
you got to understand, that he,

meaning David, or meaning
Abraham, didn’t get his teaching

from the same source that the
enemy got his teaching. You see

here, people go to business
schools. Go to MBA, get one at

University of Chicago or Harvard
or get one from the school in

England or whatever have you,
you see. But God has a school.

Oh, you got to hear me. Look
what he says here, and this is

found in John chapter 7 verse 14
and 15 and I’d like to read it

in the Amplified translation.
Now I’m not doing all of this

for my health. I’m doing all of
this because I’m doing your work

for you. After I lay this down,
you need to go study it out and

you need to go to different
translations so you can get

something that pops in your
spirit. “When the feast was

already half over, Jesus went up
into the temple court and began

to teach. And the Jews were
astonished. They said now how is

it that this man has learning,
is so versed in sacred scripture

and in theology, when he had
never studied.” Let’s try the

New Living Bible and see what
that says. “Then mid-way

through the festival, Jesus went
up into the temple and began to

teach. And the people were
surprised when they heard it.

How does he know so much when he
hasn’t been trained?” Now this

is good now. “He hasn’t
been,” what? “Trained.”

Notice in Genesis chapter 14 and
notice what he said in verse 14.

“And when Abram heard that his
brother was taken captive, he

armed his,” who? “Trained
servants.” Now notice what

David said in Psalm 144 and
verse 1. “That he teaches my

hands to war and my fingers to
fight”. Come on over to Daniel

chapter 1. In Daniel chapter,
see I’m going to light your

fire. In Daniel chapter 1. See
all you got to do is believe it.

And if you believe it, it will
work for you and you won’t have

to try to struggle to get
anything, it will come on you

and overtake you and put you
on the top. It is designed for

that, folks. Look what he said
in Daniel chapter 1 and verse

17. “As for these four
children, Shadrach, Meshach and

Abednego and Daniel, God gave
them knowledge and skill in all

learning,” and what else,
“wisdom.” See, he went to

school, but God added stuff
on top of it. Look at verse 20,

“And in all matters of wisdom
and understanding that the king

inquired of them, he found them
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

times better than all the
magicians.” Folks, one time

can be good enough, but he
didn’t say one time. He wants

there to be a clear difference
between you and the rest of the

world. Say I receive that. See,
God is so gracious until you

can’t get it while you’re awake.
Come on, he’ll give you answers

while you sleep. You won’t miss
it. Say I won’t miss it. You are

headed to the top. Say I’m
headed to the top. See you can’t

miss it because it’s prophetic.
This is our time, saints of God.

We can’t miss this. God’s not
going to let us miss it. He

going to bring resources to you,
you will not miss this, you will

not miss this. So back in
Genesis again, in Genesis

chapter 14, So he had
servants trained in his

own house so the blessing
helped to train them,

and you know they didn’t
use the strategies that

were regularly taught
in the MBA programs. Come

on now, they used strategies
above the strategies of the

world. So the blessing gives
you business strategies. Say I

believe that. All right, so
go on over and let’s just see

how Abraham did. And in Genesis
chapter 24 and verse 35, “And

the Lord had blessed my master,
has blessed my master greatly

and he has become great.
And he hath given him,” what?

“Flocks and herds, silver
and gold, menservants and

maidservants, camels and
donkeys.” So this is Abraham,

now. He can’t, you got to
understand whatever’s on Abraham

is coming on you. Because it
wasn’t Abraham that was doing

this, it was the blessing. So
now we got Genesis chapter 26

starting at verse 12, because
this is Isaac and let’s just

look at that, if you would, in
the New Living Translation. It

says “When Isaac planted his
crops that year, he harvested a

100 times more grain than he
planted for the Lord blessed

him.” Now, I know that’s
pretty easy for you to believe.

But what till I add the fact
that there was no rain. Come on

somebody. I said supernatural
financial increase. Now put it

down. Supernatural financial
increase is coming on you

starting now. Boy I’m decreeing
some stuff up here. See here’s

the deal, think about it like
this and this will help you. God

gave me this revelation and he
wouldn’t have given it to me if

it weren’t for you. Now hear
what I’m saying here. I’m saying

if he didn’t want me to give it
to you, he wouldn’t have given

it to me. Here’s what he said,
what I show you in the dark,

shout from the housetops. So he
wouldn’t have given this to me

to give to you if the time for
you was not right to walk in

what I’m giving you, man. God is
not wasteful. Everything I’m

giving you you ought to shout
because this is your time, man.

This is your stuff. Genesis
chapter 32 and let’s look at

that in verse 10. I want to look
at it in New Living Bible,

please. He said, “I am not
worth of all of the unfailing

love and faithfulness you have
shown to me, your servant. When

I left home and crossed the
Jordan river, I owned nothing

except a walking stick. Now
my household fills two large

camps.” You can’t hide this.
You can’t hide this. You just

walk and the blessing going
overtake you. Say amen to this.

Now not only that, “And
Jacob was left alone and

there wrestled a man
with him until the break

of the day. And when he
saw that he prevailed

against him, he touched the
hollow of his thigh and

the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was
out of joint and he wrestled

with him. And he said let me go,
for the day breaketh. And he

said I will not let you go
except you bless me. And he said

unto him, what is your name? He
said my name is Jacob. He said

thy name shall be called no
longer, no more Jacob, but

Israel. For as a prince has thou
power with God and with men and

has prevailed.” Now what am I
saying here? I’m saying that

when he left his father, he left
with a walking stick and left

broke. But now he’s about to
return. Not only very wealthy,

but he’s not longer a deceiver,
but now he’s a prince with God.

And I’m telling you, you might
have come into this thing one

way, you might have come into
this thing lying, cheating, and

signifying, but God’s going to
straighten you out and make it

so you’ve got integrity in your
life because the blessing is

going to be working on you from
now on. Say amen to that. One

more. Look at Genesis chapter
45. You know what happened,

Joseph went down to Egypt, his
brothers sold him. Next thing

you know, Potiphar got him in
the house, he got him in the

house and because the blessing
was on Joseph, the blessing was

now manifesting in the house of
Potiphar. Now Potiphar’s wife

started making eyes at him and
next thing you know, Joseph gets

falsely accused, put in
prison, but they can’t hold

you when the blessing is on you.
I said they can’t hold you when

the blessing is on you. See.
Because the justice system of

God kicks in. Now look what it
says here, now his brothers come

down and the reunite and he
loves his brothers and notice he

didn’t have any hate. Now they
had hate on him at first but he

didn’t have any hate for them
and now they came back and

reunited. Now he’s about to send
them back up to the father. Go

get your father and tell him to
leave that old furniture that

he’s got. You know how people
try to drag old furniture into a

new house and, I ain’t talking
about you, now don’t get mad,

don’t get no hate. So anyway,
new house, new furniture. Say

new house, new furniture. I said
new house, new furniture. Now

how do I know that? Because it’s
in the book. I said it’s your

portion, he said over here in
Deuteronomy chapter 6 and verse

10 “And it shall be when the
Lord thy God shall have brought

you into the new house that
he sweared unto your fathers,

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to
give you, goodly cities which

you build not and houses filled
with good things.” Praise God.

And over in the book of
Revelation it said “And God

makes all things new.” Praise
God. Put it together. That’s

your portion. Right now you
ought to go home and all that

old stuff you can’t hardly sit
on it, you have covered that

thing with plastic so many times
that under the plastic has worn

out. Folks, I’m not telling you
want to do, but I’d do

something. I’d take a step of
faith. All right, are you with

me? Last place, Genesis 45 and
look here because he’s sending

the brothers now on back up to
get their father. In verse 25, I

want to start at verse 25.
“Joseph’s brother’s left Egypt

and when they arrived in Canaan,
where his father was, they told

their father, said Joseph was
still alive and was the ruler of

Egypt. But their father was
so surprised that he could not

believe them. Then they told him
everything that Joseph had said

and when he saw the
wagons Joseph had sent,

he felt much better.”
I’m talking about when

people see something on
your life, they going to

feel much better about
the story you telling.
