Faith is your currency to operate in the kingdom of God, and it’s time to refresh your faith to access all of God’s promises! For three faith-filled nights at the 2018 Faith Refresher Conference, Dr. Bill Winston sheds light on how to contend for and grow in your faith, as you pursue God’s destiny for your life. Kingdom citizenship requires that you do nothing apart from faith. Planting your faith as a seed by believing and speaking God’s Word will guarantee you victory in every area of your life.

Walk of Faith is paid for

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,
and keep walking by faith.

BILL: I’d like to
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.
We love you and this is
Bill Winston saying keep
walking by faith.
