by bill Winston ministries partners and
viewers Winston here and welcome to the
believers walk of faith where we walk by
faith and not by sight well today’s
seating is a powerful teaching it’s
talking about faith and walking by faith
now when you walk by faith you’re
basically walking by something you
cannot see something that’s invisible
now you can’t prove it with your feeling
or touch or taste or you can’t
physically see it it and my fact it
can’t even be proven with your mind but
it is true and it’s a substance of
things hoped for the evidence of things
not seem right is God let’s get into it
we’re gonna tell you more about that
it’s called contending for the faith
every one of us is given according to
Romans 12:3 the same measure of faith
and faith in God is what moves God
there’s always saying you know you know
well sometimes taking so long somebody
asked that online I think last night or
whatever but sometimes it takes a long
time because of these two scriptures put
up there Psalm chapter chapter 62 and
verse 5 he says my soul wait thou what
only upon God for my expectation as what
from him see when your expectation is
not from God do you end up in
frustration see yeah they’re looking at
people leaning on people what fits so
forth you’re expecting not from God you
you go in Genesis chapter 40 and you’ll
see Joseph was down there in jail and
two people got thrown down there with
him and he they had dreams and he
prophesied opens that one of y’all going
back to the king and you’re gonna get
the old job back the other one is gonna
get his head cut off so forth and so he
told the one that was going back to the
king he said tell the King I’m down here
the bow says distinctly he’s saved down
there two more years you can’t go to
City Hall and think you know somebody
sit at hall and get it God is not going
to share his glory
this expectation is only from him go to
Jeremiah chapter 17 please I’m telling
you it’s so many of God’s people trying
to know somebody no God don’t want you
to know nobody but him that’s who we
want you to know your amount of 17:5
look what it says they’ll say the Lord
cursed be the man that trusteth in man
it makes flesh his arm
whose heart departs from the Lord watch
this for he shall be like the heath in
the desert and shall not see when good
comes but shall inhabit the parts places
in the wilderness in a salt land and not
inhabited blessed be the man that what
sorts of in the Lord with what all your
heart he didn’t put it in there but I’m
just telling and whose hope the Lord is
keep going for ye shall be as a tree
planted by the waters and that spreadeth
out her fruits by the rivers and shall
not see when he cometh but her leaf
shall be green glory to God
and shall not be careful than the year
of drought you the only way you’re gonna
know it’s a drought you read it in the
newspaper
neither shall cease from yielding fruit
I don’t care what happens with the
economy around you in your city you
gonna bear fruit you’re gonna
Romans 10 verse 11 well the scripture
said whosoever believeth on who him
shall not be ashamed let’s try to know
what what did we find new new living as
the scripture tells us anyone who trusts
in him will never be what do you trust
him now sometimes that’s why it takes so
long for things to happen because God’s
got to get he’s got to wait too we stop
putting a spank on your cousin and
everybody else trying to get something
out of them and wait until he becomes
your only source and supply we just had
to wait why because his word is out that
you can’t violate his word
all right you with me you can see where
are you going before you get there
oh boy
[Music]
I noticed this this is tough on you
right here but look at Genesis look at
John John chapter 16 and verse 13 let’s
start there
howbeit when he the Spirit of Truth has
come he will guide you into all what
true for he shall not speak of himself
but whatsoever he shall hear that shall
he speak and he will show you what he
show you things to go
why because everything God is going to
do for you you got to help me with this
he has already done now what do I need
to tell you that because that’s your
tiring piece see in that the in in the
spirit when you’re dealing with faith
you are dealing with the invisible you
are dealing on a level called the
eternal and on the turtle it says in 2nd
Peter chapter 3 and verse 8 but beloved
be not ignorant of this one thing that
one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years and what else a thousand years as
one day now I look back in Genesis come
back there with me in chapter five and
you’ll see at verse 21 and enoch lived
sixty and five years and begat
methuselah and Enoch walked with God
after he begat methuselah three hundred
years and begat sons and daughters
and all the days of Enoch were 360 and
five years and Enoch walked with God and
he was not for God took him now
Enoch is one of the few that God took
now you know you go to feel how they
don’t weather it yet the Lord took him
well everybody in the Bible that the
Lord took he took alive you with me now
he took him who else did he take anybody
remember took Elijah who else did he
take took Jesus alright alright now
watch this
Jude Jude please and Jude verse 14
number one chapter noon and he not also
the seventh from Adam prophesied of
these things behold the Lord cometh with
ten thousands of his Saints Wow he lets
you see that Enoch was seventh from Adam
and saw all the way to Jesus coming back
with ten thousand of his who Saints he
knew what a saint was back in the Bekaa
by the garden
now what why mine why am I getting on
this because Revelation chapter 13 and
verse 8 says and all that dwell upon the
earth shall worship Him whose names are
not written in the book of life of the
lamb slain from the what foundation of
the world when was the lamb slain now
we’ve got it recorded that he got killed
and and crucified about two 2000 years
ago but the Bible has it recorded that
the lamb was slain when before the
foundation of the world see and what he
is saying here is if you turn with me to
Isaiah please and let’s go to Isaiah
chapter 46 he said this in verse 9
remember the former things of old for I
am God and there is none else I am God
and there is none like me declaring the
end from the beginning and from ancient
times the things that are not yet done
saying my counsel shall stand and
everything I said go happen is gonna
happen
so everything that God’s going to do for
you he has already done see now the
point of it is is I don’t need to wait
to get the here’s what I’m saying I’m
saying that faith is not time faith has
no time faith is right wind is right now
and and and if you ever put time in
faith you’ve just gotten out of faith
because everything that’s going to be
done for you is what already done and
faith knows that so faith has to be now
so when you’re talking about today or
tomorrow it’s always now so faith calls
things come on that be not as though
they were what go they’re already done
so faith says by His stripes I am here
to see it not saying I’m gonna be here
cuz that’s a lie that you have been
healed and
what’s this and enforces it into your
life now how much is in the eternal this
book is an inventory of what’s in the
unseen so faith says when things will
happen and time boughs the need because
faith is a higher law than time and will
manipulate time back a force that used
to be an old love song when I was coming
up you know and it said if I could just
turn back the hands of time well wait a
minute now hold on because I saw when
the man got healed of leprosy and his
skin was like that of a newborn somebody
turned back the head of time come on now
come on
see I’m saying that most of what faith
will do it’s not been manifested you see
that supposed to be a clear difference
between you and the rest of the world
see they supposed to be piling in trying
to get what you know
see the way we went in the biggest way
that we’re going to win the world is to
influence one day they don’t see you you
stupid in the next day you’re smart or
than one day that’s it not not to but
you know y’all follow what I’m saying it
now you thought would have say so I
can’t say I’m gonna be healed because
that’s not true
truth is the highest realm of reality
it is where things are true it is where
things are as they are it is the eternal
invisible world and you and I are
supposed to live according to that and
not according to this world that’s under
the big person and fallen and man is
imprisoned by time where he tells you
it’s going to take five years for that
to get healed – nope five minutes nope
five seconds see but I gotta participate
for God to do it cuz he can’t move
outside of my face
faith is released by words and actions
we came from eternity so did Jesus he
stepped from no time into time and then
govern time
not it no faith enables you to see like
God and when you can see like God you
talk like gods you act like God you
think come on like God second
Corinthians chapter four and verse
eighteen while we look not at the what
things that are seen but at the what
things that are not seeing now once
you’ve received what God says is yours
then you have joy and you have joy
because you have received it now it may
not be manifested in your life yet but
joy is what gives you strength to stand
until manifestations take place say amen
to that
he says in Isaiah chapter 12 and verse
three through joy we draw waters out of
the well of salvation so you can access
deliverance through joy the door Lord is
my strength by the way that’s Nehemiah
chapter 18 verse 10 that is my strength
and also through joy you increase that
Psalms chapter 67 joy keeps us in his
presence and that is Psalm chapter 16
and verse 11 all right let’s go to
Martinez finish up in mark chapter 2 in
verse 1 and this is when the men had
this one man on this this just whatever
he was carried on cotton and it says
here and again he entered into Capernaum
after
some days and it was noised that he was
in the house and straightway many were
gathered together and so much that they
there was no room to receive them know
not as much about the door and he
preached the word unto them and they
come unto Him bringing one sick of the
palsy who was born of war and when they
could not come in for the press they
uncovered the roof where he was and when
they had broken it up they let down the
bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay
Jesus saw their faith when he saw their
faith he said to the sick of the palsy
son thy sins be what forgiven them I
call this crazy faith and let me tell
you what crazy faith is crazy faith is
people whose minds are no longer
governed by what they can see when you
measure your faith to the limit then God
will take you higher he will take you
higher when you have used all the faith
you know how to use God will take you to
another dimension of faith now if you
don’t lose your faith use your faith it
is possible to lose the measure that you
have because it some people just choose
to be comfortable and next thing you
know their faith has been laying dormant
and it not even able to do some of the
things that you used to be able to do so
it’s meant for you to continue to use
your faith
and it’s time now for us to use our
faith as a profession this time for us
to do something have something be
something that the world can’t do have
or be unless they know Jesus in that
powerful in the last part is crazy faith
again is people whose minds are no
longer governed by what makes sense
that’s what it is by what makes sense
real faith is passionate about the
impossible I’ll say it again real faith
is passionate about the impossible it is
fed every time you confront something
impossible it grows when you overcome
now you and I receive the image of God
and the faith of God and when you got
God’s nature you also got an appetite
for the impossible did not something we
were created to have this appetite you
are hungry for something it is your
designed to believe way above what you
can think with a hard man believe it and
faith has no respect for the word
impossible and God even made provisions
for us to get healed supernaturally
every time think about this God tells
one man Noah
build an ark what man let me ask you
this how many years did he build it
anybody know I think it was about 120
years watch this with no water in sight
he did it by what look him up in Hebrews
chapter 11 did it by faith tells you to
do something you might not see no any
reason for doing that in the world but
God knows what’s this and brought
animals from every continent watch this
in pairs because of one man’s what gods
can bring you stuff in pairs
hey see what’s happening then somehow we
haven’t had faith in God first thing
Jesus says have faith in God have the
god-kind of faith or have the faith of
God and all things become possible
sometimes you got to get in a Bible and
find out some of the impossible things
that were done and don’t read it so fast
as writing this in the book of that
place of Noah there’s some stuff that
happened in there didn’t that’s
mind-bending I mean how in the world
that God do that he’s is he is on that
water for about a half a year and then
they head out in ten more days or
whatever have you and I’m just saying he
had to trust God there wasn’t no CBS
News or anything that God would give him
some some encouragement but I’m saying
with you you walk by things you’re
walking by something you can see
you can’t field buses and you can’t
prove with your mind
[Music]
there’s options of things hoped for the
evidence of things
well I trusted you were blessed by that
powerful message now here’s a point you
want to remember once you receive what
God says is yours then you have joy now
it may not be manifesting you just
receive it in the spirit first and it
may not be manifested in your life yet
but joy is what gives you the strength
to stand until the manifestation takes
place remember here’s Jesus and he kept
joy in his life see as you believe four
things sometimes you don’t see it right
away but keep that joy because the joy
of the Lord is your strength right he’s
got it that powerful well it elects Todd
