Do you want to fulfill God’s call on your life? Once you make that decision, God will equip you with everything you need to face your giants — fear and failure, insurmountable problems or issues, or a situation of adversity that gets out of control, thus making it difficult to resolve—and overcome them! In this series, Facing the Giants, Dr. Winston provides documented proof that using faith over fear is a natural part of the supernatural lifestyle of the believer.
the believers walk of faith is paid for
by bill Winston ministries partners and
viewers in the same position we can go
somewhere here is designed to paralyze
its victims though we just don’t look at
paralyzing when we talk about physically
but paralyzing spiritually and/or
paralyzing mentally and this whole idea
about fear to be attacked with fear now
it’s interesting about this whole idea
of fear you and I know that God said in
2nd Timothy and chapter 1 and verse 7
that God has not given us a spirit of
fear but of power and of love and of a
sound mind
now if you look at Psalm Psalm chapter
34 and over in Psalm chapter 34 and
verse 4 he says something he said I
sought the Lord and he heard me and
delivered me from all my fears now this
is very very interesting because he’s
saying that fear can be in a number of
areas somebody can fear this but not
that and so David said we supposed to be
delivered from all our fears he said yea
though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death
I will fear what no evil now again the
enemy uses fear if you look at First
Samuel chapter 17 and verse 11 if you
will this is when they were facing a
giant called Goliath and when Saul at
all of Israel heard those words of the
Philistine they were dismayed and what
greatly afraid but what happened when
job job was greatly afraid over in job
chapter 3 and verse 25 he says for the
thing which I greatly feared what has
come upon me now this is interesting
because this whole idea about Satan
being able to do things against us and
Satan needs fear like God needs faith
Satan needs fear like God needs faith
and what I’m saying to you is that the
way that the enemy had been getting into
our lives basically is because of fears
this fear where did it come in it came
in when Adam sinned in the garden that
when God gave Adam charge over the
entire earth that Adam was given a
prohibition not to eat of a certain tree
of which he and Eve he ended up eating
of the tree and as a result of that God
came in the garden and Adam said to God
that he was afraid though that’s the
first time you see fear and so what
we’re trying to do is try to develop a
sense of no fear in the body of Christ
no fear in the body of Christ because
Satan needs fear to do things to us and
so if we don’t give him any fear
he won’t have any fear now it’s just
it’s amazing to me because we we’ve got
to be brutally honest with ourselves
it’s amazing to me though how much fear
is in a church and we gonna have to get
this fear out if we gonna face those
that those giant see because a giant may
represent me represented any kind of way
you know all of a sudden the doctor give
somebody an evil report well the first
thing to do is not to fear that’s a
whole thing it is a hope a way we
supposed to respond we’re not supposed
to respond to fear because they gave the
three Hebrews a bad report they told
them if they didn’t bow down they’re
gonna be thrown in this fire Daniel
chapter three and when we look at that
side drag Meshach and Abednego and to
the king and said that oh never kanessa
we understand that you demand I’m read
that’s myself my own translation but not
careful to answer you in this matter if
it be so if you throw it’s in there to
God that do we serve he’s able to
deliver us from this burning fiery
furnace and he will deliver us out of
thy hand O king
but without fear Satan cannot do
anything to you lord have mercy
he needs fear like God needs faith are
you following what I’m saying
so I’m saying no matter what he tries to
do you can overturn it
if you don’t fear see you can’t fear it
it doesn’t make any difference what
Satan has done you can always undo it
and when we say fear fear it’s only to
fear and faith on the fear comes
unbelief doubt all of that all that’s
under fear and then but it’s only two
sides it’s fear and faith and you gotta
be in faith so it’s amazing how many
people can hang around the church but
yet the fear still be there so we got to
get to fear we got a we got a face our
fears we come on now we’ve we’ve got to
instead of running from that giant we
gonna have to run to him and we’re gonna
Ted say Amen to this I remember one time
my wife and I had this one we were still
in Minneapolis and and I we started the
church but we weren’t I was still
working for the company IBM and so I got
a call said yes the lady is over in the
hospital of daughters now and severe and
organs have shut down and and so forth
and tawny quotes that she needs to come
right away and I said okay I’ll be there
shortly and then I got there and I know
she ran to me in the hallway oh she’s
been oh oh I’m glad you’re here and so
forth not waiting there and the tubes
all down a daughter and so forth and the
daughters just turned completely blue
and so I said okay I said you get on
that side I’ll get on this side and I
said I’ll put my hand on this side of
her head you put your head on that one
oh I said that ain’t gonna help us I
mean I’d like to do that too but but but
I know that now go help that’s just a
fear reaction trying to your own sake
try said so you have to cut that out
I said now put your hand on the side of
her head like I told you to do it and
put it in I said in the name of Jesus
Satan get your hands off this chop the
seed of the righteous shall be delivered
in the name of Jesus now I don’t know
what ojos three days I said the child be
up in three days when Oh home child was
up in three days you didn’t even know
the child ever had what you had
everything was working back right
now I’m saying that because sometimes
Satan will try you to see if you’ll
receive what he’s trying on you follow
what I’m saying now I’m saying all of
this because we’re going and face these
giants and these Giants on our property
and we gonna have to take this property
now another form of fear is intimidation
another form of fear is intimidation
that sometimes people with money will
try to intimidate people who don’t have
any come on people with the position
will try to intimidate people who are in
a lesser position but I don’t care what
kind of money you have or what position
you hold you will never be intimidated
ever again by anybody say amen to that
and you gotta really stand up to that
devil but like I said if you don’t fear
you can’t do anything with you look what
it says and I think I showed you Joe the
thing that I feared most has come upon
me and that’s what I was afraid of has
come to me so fear will actually draw
more of what you don’t want say amen to
that when you walk in righteousness say
righteousness then you walk in
partnership with God you walk in
partnership with God and what I find is
that a lot of people are trying to build
their faith without their righteousness
in place and I think we went through
this before but God knows you in a human
form cannot do what you want to do or
what he’s assigning us to do as a
purpose so what you gonna have to do is
you’re gonna have to get God to work
through you I’ll try it again you will
have to get God to work through you I
call it the force of righteousness the
force of righteousness and when that
force is in place fear rises on pardon
me
faith rises unconsciously when that
force is in place so
I gotta work on that force I got to work
on God inside minded I got to work on
the living from the inside out I got to
stop working on living from the outside
in what they can do to me I need to live
on what I can do against them what what
can come out of me to make me invincible
see and what you need to do is no wait a
minute God is in me now
so what I use is I use the example of
the flashlight and you take a glass of
water and you show shine a flashlight
through it light and then you put some
mud in it and try to shine it through
and it doesn’t come through
well the mud represents sin
consciousness guilt shame low
self-esteem all of that is same
consciousness now the righteousness
can’t come through and when the
righteousness can’t come through one
answered prayer doesn’t come through
second you always see something in the
physical to totally tell you that God is
working so forth and talk but when
righteousness is in place you know you
have rights to answered prayer sin
consciousness never acts with boldness
it requires some physical evidence that
God is moving righteousness
consciousness requires nothing but the
Word of God
more than me let me say that again
requires nothing but the Word of God see
if I have a clear Word of God if I can
clearly hear God then I can’t be
deceived now this is interesting because
the enemy tries to pervert what you hear
there are people that have asked me
questions or they have written letters
or whatever I said how did they hear
that out of what I said
but that’s a Canaanite he’ll sit the
word before it gets to your hearing how
you fold with that’s a spirit so now
they all these spirits are working
together now let me tell you about this
other spirit cause we’re going into the
land of giants now I tell people I said
now these are giants
now Giants got to have a pretty big
house and we come over here a Giants got
to have a pretty big house because
there’s a Giants me you look at him
these deeds these methods got a bed 18
feet long but it’s this he’s got to have
some ceiling height and so forth and
so I’m going to need to get this see and
what I told people that I was just
making fun I said a giant don’t have no
little bathroom he’s trying to sneak
anything it’s it’s these are giants
these boys got some bread duties he’s a
giant now I’m not saying you taking
something to go with somebody else
you’re only receiving the promises that
God has given you and I’m saying that
Giants have stopped that they don’t want
you to think big so there is a spirit
called
a parasite spirit and this parasite
spirit we described one time we said
it’s a spirit that produces lameness
it’s a spirit that produces this lack of
authority in other words I’ve got to get
people to pray for me I got to get good
men to help me a got so far the thought
and God never intended that he he
planned for him to be your source and
supply now he’ll use any channel he want
but I’m just trying to see here that
this this parasite tries to put people
in a place where they permanently depend
on somebody else now I’m not saying
people can’t come to things and and they
need some prayer here and so forth I’m
not saying that I’m saying permanently
because it it robs people of their
ability to dream so so so now people are
staying under what I call oppression all
right now now listen you listen I’m your
preacher right now
Romans chapter 10 verse 14 it talks
about how can they hear without a
preacher so here it is right here and he
says how then shall they call on him
whom they have not believed and how can
they believe on him who’s had not heard
and how can they hear without a preacher
and how can he breathe except to be said
now God sent them out to the promised
land they came back with some reports
and ten of them came back with an evil
report they said hey the grapes are real
big what why because his big bread is
big promises his precious blessings from
God he said but the Giants in the land
am right so forth and so on and then
Joshua and Caleb said well let’s go up
and take it in 1/4 we are well able now
they knew they won’t be a con be able to
do that
Adie bill went would you Winson by that
shopping mall
hey whoa what I sent the people over
here the sky the land they came back and
told me we can buy that little part on
the east end right down there I’d say
God didn’t say that bottle littlebark
dark side by the ball see so that was
too big but it’s too big for you
it’s not too big for you and God and
what people are trying to do is trying
to leave God out and I’m telling you God
is fed up with that it’s like wait a
minute I’m not gonna give you something
you can do that’s not mine listen God
did that’s not the pattern in the book
the pattern is to get Gideon and he got
20 2013 2 thousand men God saying you
got too many for me you know I have too
many for you you got too many for me cuz
I’ll give you this building without you
even knowing what a bank looks like I
will give you this
he says you got too many for me and I’m
telling you what you bout to get now you
bout to see it’s alright if you stay in
your place see it’s amazing how again
they say pass it well you know they
don’t want to sell that kind of property
into a black man I said well wait a
minute you have looked under the hood
[Applause]
you don’t know what kind of man I am
and when you and you don’t know that God
is in you and who you are you back up oh
you go down and try to get a lawyer and
my lawyer is Jesus he’s already tried
the case
[Applause]
[Music]
see now I’m saying that to say that
there are things that God wants us to do
what because he’s promised us something
Deuteronomy 28 verses 1 & 2 in the CEB
translation he says today say today I’m
giving you the laws of the teachings of
the Lord your God always obey them and
the Lord will make Israel what the most
famous come on the most important nation
on earth he is going to take you from
the bottom come on to the top we need to
stop putting in that I can’t do this
because of a man no man will be able to
stand before you all the days of your
life
God is just taking away the crutch that
we’ve been using for years they could
have we could put a good man in a son
position we can go somewhere I got a man
Christ Jesus
already get from me what no man whatever
do in his life
and the thing about it you think that if
you keep putting these people in there
you’d be somewhere by now let me give
you some statistics do you have a minute
[Applause]
I’m tired of this match
[Applause]
you look at the statistics of business
we have business schools so I know some
of this
so in business you’ve got a population
in in Chicago of african-americans may
be close to 40% and so but in regards of
businesses there are a lot of businesses
but in the city of Chicago it’s roughly
370 billion dollars of revenue from
businesses that’s how much they’re
making that’s how much revenue is being
counted with all these population of
african-americans now I’m not I’m just
centering on one group right now and all
these businesses that they have you
would want to know how much of that 306
it’s rounded 70 billion is their
contribution less than 1% don’t know
nothing if they own it
it’s run by me and my cousin
it’s called necessity based business
it’s just for me to stop working every
day at the plant we’re putting up a
place now thing now we go scale these
business you go downtown that that
here’s George John Johnson yes when he
got that now I’m getting this from a
documentary that was really showed and
said when he got that building downtown
the Johnson Publishing he went down
there but he couldn’t dress up and go as
a african-american whatever he had to
dress up as a
or something and go with a guy and he
did you know kind of disguising himself
like he was the janitor and so forth cuz
they wouldn’t sell it to him now it’s
not people it’s a system and the system
is set up so that certain people can’t
go
today do you got to got to get you got
to get this today
[Applause]
now I’m not trying to preach division
like anything because we know the system
was set up by the devil and what we’re
doing is pulling down his system
everything that he’s done even made
ungodly laws without the cheezles law
this is not trying to the body anybody
this is trying to raise this church up
so we’re not in here to hide we’re in
here to be equipped tree and sit God’s
about to send you up and you will make a
mark that cannot be erased
you gonna be a game changer say Amen to
this
[Applause]
Satan has set this thing up thinking
good somewhere with this
but God is raising up a people in this
laughing see if anybody got today
preaching what I’m preaching right now
because it’s time for the church to be
the church we have sat down and let the
world do all this stuff and us not rise
up but we go rise up first in the spirit
[Applause]
but we’re gonna be decreasing something
and things won’t be happening say amen
to that
now I’m saying that because the first
thing I had to do to get this building
is point at it I had to say something
I had to command this building come into
my hands now see people think if why is
he saying that how who is he think he is
no I gotta say it for God to be who is
[Applause]
saying I gotta say that’s a God that we
serve if you throw me in the fire saying
stop thinking you don’t have to say it
you don’t have to say it
we have run from Giants all enough you
will never be intimidated another day in
your life in the name of Jesus own
hotels businesses downtown Chicago
[Applause]
I am spoken this thing
now you got people that don’t want this
and I don’t care it doesn’t make any
difference you can just come in you you
know you can stay at our hotel but my
point is folks this is our movement and
it says I’m not talking to one race now

people but no more laughing at the
church no more cracking jokes about
Jesus God’s about to show himself mighty
