>> male announcer: The
“Believer’s Walk of Faith” is
paid for by Bill Winston
Ministries’ partners
and viewers.
>> Bill Winston: God never
intended for the world system to
support his family.
You need a revelation of who you
are.
You got the same God in you that
Jesus had in him, and you got
the same anointing, being filled
with the Holy Ghost.
It’s not gonna be us.
It’s gonna be the Father in us.
He is gonna do the work
’cause we’re in the Sabbath,
and in the Sabbath it means that
I’m taking you back to the
Garden, back to a time where
Adam never had to bear the
weight of his own provisions,
that God was gonna take care
of him.
“Come unto me all that labor and
are heavy laden, and I’m gonna
give you rest.”
>> Bill: Whatever you need God
will supply it, why?
Because we’re in covenant with
God through Jesus Christ, and
whatever belongs to God belongs
to us, and whatever belongs to
us belongs to God, and that’s
the way a covenant functions.
Hebrews chapter 4 again.
Look at verse 3, “For we which
have believed do enter into
rest, as he said, I have sworn
in my wrath, if they shall enter
into my rest: although the works
were finished,” from when?
“The foundation of the world.”
God’s name, one name, is Jehovah
Jireh.
What does that mean, somebody?
My provider.
My provider.
You remember when I was talking
about El Shaddai, the breasty
one, and talking about, hey, God
is the breasty one.
You have a baby, and all of a
sudden when you have that baby,
notice the nature of your system
generates milk.
On a normal mother, who
breastfeeds, that generation of
milk is done, and it comes with
the baby.
There is an enormous amount of
provision for every one of us
that’s already set aside, not
gonna be set aside.
God prepared the milk before the
baby came.
Come on, now, and I’m telling
you right now there is stuff
set aside for you that you
haven’t gotten.
A person is not poor because
they don’t have any money.
They’re poor because they don’t
have any knowledge.
He said, “My people were
destroyed for the lack of,”
what?
“Knowledge,” not the lack of
money.
You start thinking like a
millionaire your system has no
choice but to produce it, no
choice.
Look what he says here, “And the
very God of peace sanctify you
wholly;” watch this.
“I pray God that your,” what?
“Whole spirit and soul and body
be preserved blameless to the
coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ.”
Now, how do you interpret that?
Let me tell you how I interpret
it with a new perspective, with
a new paradigm.
Let me show you how to protect
it.
“I pray your whole spirit, soul
and body be preserved
blameless.”
My spirit, my spirit be
preserved.
I’m a new creature.
Am I right about it?
And my spirit is gonna be
preserved until the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
My soul is gonna be preserved.
It’s gonna be at peace all the
time.
It’s gonna be operating in
righteousness.
Are you with me here?
I’m not gonna have anxiety.
How about my body be preserved?
Now, this is one that kind of
trips some people out.
If your kidney goes bad, get
another one.
Now, wait a minute–
supernaturally.
I’m not talking about waiting on
somebody to die so you can get a
kidney.
I said, God’s got kidneys.
Lord have mercy.
Coming over to Matthew chapter
15, please.
Now, I’m gonna go there.
I’m gonna go there and see,
let me tell you, let me tell
you, the church has been
singing, “Please don’t pass me
by.”
We’ve been doing that long
enough.
Jesus is not passing by.
Jesus is in you, and he wants
you to grow up.
And I’ve been–I have
volunteered for the job.
I said, “I have volunteered for
the job.”
Look at Matthew chapter 15.
Let me know when you get there.
Over in Matthew chapter 15, look
what he says, starting at verse
29.
Put it up there, please.
Over in verse 29, he says this,
“And Jesus departed from thence,
and came nigh into the sea of
Galilee; and went up into a
mountain, and sat down there.
And great multitudes came unto
him, having with them those that
were,” what?
“Lame.”
Come on.
“Blind.”
Come on.
“Dumb.”
Come on.
“Maimed.”
Come on.
“And many others,” and what did
they do?
“He cast them down at Jesus’
feet.”
And what did he do?
“He healed them.”
Keep going.
“Insomuch that the multitude
wondered, when they say the,”
what?
“Dumb to speak.”
Come on.
“Maimed to be made whole.”
Come on.
“The lame to walk.”
Come on.
“The blind to see.”
Come on.
“And they glorified the God of
Israel.”
Now, what happened to the
maimed?
What happened to the maimed?
They were healed.
What does maimed mean?
What does maim–?
I’m missing a part.
I’m missing a part.
Jesus replaced parts.
Come on.
Come on.
You get your mind off of this
natural, three-dimensional
world, and put your mind on God.
Look what he says in Genesis
chapter 18 and verse 14, please,
and look at Genesis 18:14.
Here’s what he says.
He says, “Is any thing too hard
for the LORD?”
Now, you got to answer that
because it’s not you, it’s the
Father in you.
He’s doing the work.
Man, if he’s doing the work, if
he made the first kidney, can he
make another one?
He doesn’t need to make it.
It’s already made.
He’s got it in inventory, man.
He’s got it in will call.
Jesus laid hands on people and
arms grew out.
I’m telling you he said what he
did, you can do too.
You don’t need to get up there,
[grumbling]
You don’t need to do all of
that.
Just lay a hand on the sick in
his name, and they shall
recover.
But you got to expect a miracle
to see a miracle, and that’s why
a lot of our young people are
not coming because, one, there’s
a provision shortage in the
house.
And they, hey, they got to get
some money, man.
“That money ain’t come in, I’m
broke already.
I need to go somewhere where I
can get some money.”
And some of them over there and
the thing, on drugs, and selling
drugs and so forth.
But if they just knew that God’s
got for them much more than
drugs can supply–
But they don’t see it.
We’re still trying to play
games, trying to do all kinds of
entertainment to get ’em in.
We don’t need to do that.
Just make the arm grow out, and
you will have this place
flooded.
And it ain’t growing out ’cause
we don’t believe what we read.
Now I’m telling you, God is
about to raise up a church that
is gonna have the greatest
agreement between heaven and
earth that’s ever been seen
since the building of Solomon’s
Temple and the Garden of Eden.
Now, you say you don’t believe
that, you’re dishonest.
No one representing the King
of kings should be broke.
No one.
No one.
No one.
See, you don’t say, “I don’t
have much education.”
It doesn’t make any difference
whether you’ve got much
education.
Your provision is not based on
education.
Your provision is based on your
inheritance.
You have become a joint heir
with Christ.
I’m gonna preach this thing.
Some preacher’s got to preach
it.
You had them 12 spies to come
back and 10 of them told him
lies.
They said, “We can’t take it.
The giants in the land, they’re
stronger than we are,”
and so those are all lies.
You got to say what God says.
He said, “We are more than
conquerors.”
He said, “We are well able to
overcome them.”
Come on.
He said, “If God be for us, who
can be against us?”
God has never checked my bank
account when he told me to do
something ’cause I have never
had it in there.
Why?
‘Cause you’re trying to leave
God out, and God’s trying to put
himself back in ’cause he wants
to let people see who he is.
This whole system has taken God
out.
He’s not in the classroom
anymore.
He’s not in Hollywood.
He’s not in this.
But you got some brave saints
coming up now.
They ’bout to put him back in
the classroom.
Come on.
‘Bout to put him back in
politics, ’bout to put him back
in Hollywood.
We’re about to take dominion.
Now, you look at 1 Peter,
“Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, which
according to his abundant mercy
hath begotten us again unto a
lively hope by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ, our Lord.”
Watch this, “To an inheritance
incorruptible, undefiled, that
fadeth not away, reserved,”
where?
“In heaven.”
For who?
He is not talking about things
that are yours reserved in
heaven for when you get there.
That’s called reward.
You’re gonna get there, you
get a mansion.
Oh, yeah, that comes with the
program.
You get golden streets.
That comes with the program.
Come on.
You get walls that are built up
with gold and diamonds, and so
that comes with the program.
He’s talking about reserved in
heaven for when you want it down
here.
He’s talking about, “Pray thy
kingdom come, thy will be
done.”
Come on.
“On earth as it is in heaven.”
There is no sickness in heaven.
There is no oppression in
heaven.
There’s none of that.
God wants your life to radiate
heaven.
He wants your light to be so
shiny that people will see his
good work and lift up the hand
and glorify your Father.
I need you say this.
Now, you do work, but it’s a
different kind of work.
To get this, you need to be born
again.
And what happened to me, and
the reason why I got born again,
one of the main reasons, is
because of provision.
That’s why I can preach this so
fervently, with such passion.
And I’m telling you when they
cut my paycheck in half, when
they put me on quota at IBM, I
saw that paycheck, and I’m
telling you I just about became
hysterical.
I said, “How in the world is a
man supposed to feed his family
off of this?”
Well, you’re not.
I was supposed to make some up
on sales, but I was trying, and
I couldn’t sell anything.
Two months passed.
Pssh.
Now, what did I do?
I went to HFC, borrowed some
money.
Another month passed.
I went to HFC to consolidate.
I’m talking about I went back.
I must have consolidated six
times.
I consolidated a consolidation.
They were glad to see me coming.
They knew me by first name, “Oh,
Bill, come on in.
I got some paperwork all ready
for you.”
Wow!
I was trying to run faster, see,
on a treadmill, was trying to
run faster.
Treadmill’s speeding up now and
you got to get off that.
That dog won’t hunt.
That thing will wear you out,
give you high blood pressure,
cause your joints to start
aching, everything.
Why?
‘Cause you’re not made to carry
the weight of your own
provision.
It will weigh you down.
So, what happened?
One night, now understand, I’m
acting like I’m all together,
wearing sharp suits, you know,
talking intelligent, driving a
Corvette.
Meanwhile, my boss called me
and, “Hey, Bill, so-and-so
called here, and the company
wanted to garnish your check,”
you know.
I said, “Well, who was it?”
And you know, I’m wearing
clothes like I’m shopping at
I. Magnin’s or, you know,
some–and that was one of those
little old really kind of, you
know, inexpensive stores.
And he told me, and I said,
“Well–”
He said, “Well, the company
doesn’t do that, but you need to
get your finances together.”
You know what I wanted to ask
him?
How?
“I’m working two jobs, man.
You tell me how.”
This is how.
But wait a minute.
Hold on.
But I had to first get in the
family for this.
I had to be born again.
The kingdom of God is built on
sowing and reaping.
That’s the way it’s built.
Satan doesn’t want you to invade
his domain with your principle
of sowing and reaping.
Why?
Because it’s a higher principle,
and it’ll override all that’s in
his kingdom and cause it to come
into that kingdom.
Are you with me?
All right, sowing and reaping.
Somebody says, “Well, a farmer
sows.
He sows corn, and he gets some
corn back–”
You know that, okay.
But you really don’t know it
because sowing and reaping is a
principle that no one can live
outside of, no one.
Here’s what he says about
friends.
If you want friends, what do you
do?
“You have to sow yourself
friendly.”
So, you have to sow something to
get something.
He said, “If you sow it to the
wind, you’ll reap the,” what?
“Whirlwind.”
All this is in the book.
Notice, every time you got to
sow something, but it comes back
multiplied.
So, let’s just take this
personally.
Suppose somebody slaps somebody,
what are they gonna get?
And listen, listen, listen
folks, this–got it?
Now, think about it.
If that were really on
somebody’s mind, and they had
the principle, why would they go
and buy a slave?
Because they were operating on
buying and selling.
This other system is stronger.
It will eventually possess all
of this system, and that’s what
Joseph was.
Remember what he did.
Joseph was sold as a slave by
his brothers to a passing band
of Ishmaelites.
They took him down to Egypt, and
what did they do with him in
Egypt?
They sold him to a man named
Potiphar.
So, Joseph was on the auction
block.
Here he was, chained up on an
auction block, and the man
Potiphar bought him.
But when Joseph started working
for Potiphar, Joseph saw work in
another principle, and “Potiphar
began to prosper to the point
that Potiphar eventually put all
that he had–” this is what the
Bible says in Genesis 39, “under
Joseph’s hand.
And once he did that, now he
transferred it over into the
blessing.”
Now, what am I saying to you?
I’m saying that ship that was
out there that Peter had, what
did he do with it?
He gave it to Jesus.
It transferred into the kingdom,
and once it transfers into the
kingdom, the law of
multiplication takes place.
Now, you got what I’m saying
here?
So, my wife and I were down
there in a ministers’ meeting
and the pastor was–the minister
who was having the meeting said
he was trying to buy an airplane
for his ministry because he
couldn’t keep up.
The commercial schedules
couldn’t keep up any more.
He said, “How many people would
like to give into it?”
Well, our ministry needed an
airplane, so I turned to my
wife, said, “What are you
saying, baby?”
I said, “Let’s just pray and see
what God says.”
Boom!
We came up, said, “God says, sow
$100,000.”
So, we took $100,000 and sowed
it.
Now, remember, you say, “I don’t
have no $100,000.”
It’s not the amount, it’s the
obedience.
Don’t ever forget that.
One woman had only two mites.
So, what happened?
We sowed it.
Then about 2 weeks later, I
got a call, “Hey Bill, this is
so-and-so.
Listen, I think that offering
was taken up the wrong way, and
I want to take all that seed
that was sown to me for that
airplane, and I want to sow it
to so-and-so on the mission
field.”
Here’s what I said, “Well, why
are you calling me?
That’s not mine.”
See, if it’s still mine, I get
no harvest.
I’d better come over here.
If it’s still mine, I get no
harvest.
You cannot put it in the bucket
and watch the bucket all the way
down the aisle.
You have never let it go.
And remember when Adam sinned,
God couldn’t come in and say,
“King’s X on that man.
Let me get another man and form
him,” because the ground didn’t
belong to him anymore.
He can’t touch what’s not his.
I know my God can’t.
That’s why people get a new car,
and sometimes, “Yeah, I got this
new car.”
Praise the Lord.
“Well, this is the Lord’s car.
Now, it’s, it’s–” I say, “Oh,
it’s the Lord’s car.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
I said, “Well, you driving it?”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m driving it, but
it’s the Lord.”
I say, “Okay, now, what did you
do, give it to the Lord?”
“Well, no, I just know the Lord
watching over it, you know, and
so forth.
That’s why.”
You know, a whole lot of flaky
stuff, and I’m trying to figure
out.
That’s your car.
Get that car.
Put the blood of Jesus over it
and drive that thing down the
street.
But my point to you is, wait a
minute.
See, you put the money in the
bucket.
Then you try to tell the pastor
what to do with it.
You have never let it go.
You will never get a harvest off
of it, and the harvest and seed
time is the way God has to meet
your needs.
He might bring it back in in
money.
He might bring it back in in
inventions.
He might bring it back in in new
customers.
He might bring it back in, but
one way he’s gonna bring it
back in, without toil.
He’s gonna bring it back in.
You’re just gonna go and
gather it up because it’s a new
level of work that you’re gonna
be doing.
You’re not working for earning a
living any more.
You’re gonna work now to keep
your mind off of that provision
so you can do your assignment.
If you’re supposed to work in
the education area, get in that
education area.
If you’re supposed, come on, it
doesn’t make a difference ’cause
God’s got your back.
It’s not gonna be your
education level that’s gonna
dictate your income.
It’s gonna be your sowing level
that’s gonna dictate.
Now, put the Scripture up there
again, Matthew chapter 11, verse
28.
Now, listen, this’ll work for
kids.
Now, you said, “Do you work
hard?”
I work hard.
You can ask my staff.
I’m a hard worker, but I’m not
working to earn more money.
I’m working to fulfill my
assignment to God to get this
ministry moving.
That’s why I’m working.
If you put your mind on a
paycheck, try to create at the
same time.
Those inventions will slow down,
those ideas will slow down
to little or nothing.
You’ve got to get your mind off
provision, folks.
The whole world has been
provision-minded.
Satan was trying to see to that.
Why?
So, they can’t go anywhere.
Please, don’t reject what I’m
saying.
Study it out first.
The Bibles were hid in
monasteries from you because if
you ever got off this buying and
selling system and got over here
on this other system, you can
get your needs met on the top of
Mount Vesuvius with nobody
there.
Why?
Because Jesus said, “Hey, feed
them.”
They were at the top of the
mountain.
He said, they said, “I’ve got to
go work and get some money to
feed all these people.”
He said, “No, you don’t.
There’s a lad here with two fish
and five loaves.
Give me that, and let’s make
some food.”
And that food began to multiply
’cause it was bread from heaven.
God will give you from heaven
what you need, independent of
the system that you’re living
in, independent of the economic
times that you’re enduring.
Now, where did I tell you to go?
“Come unto me, all who labour
and are heavy laden.
I’ll give you rest.”
Come on.
“Take my yoke upon you, and
learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly at heart: and you shall
find rest for your souls.”
Check it out.
“For my yoke is easy,” keep
going, “and my burden is light.”
My friends, you say that
“Pastor, I’m not sure about
this.”
What I’m gonna tell you is
I’m gonna pray for you
because what I just told you was
the gospel truth.
It is the way that God is going
to use his people so that they
can have enough provision to
feed the poor.
They can have enough provision,
watch this, to make some
schools–this is a dream of
mine–make some schools for
people who have been in some of
these tough neighborhoods.
Put a citadel in each one of
them so that they have some of
the best instructors.
Don’t let them live at home.
Let them come and live right in
the citadel.
We’ll supply their clothes.
We’ll supply their everything
that they need, and we’re gonna
train up leaders and get the
leaders raised up right in the
ghetto, right in the middle of
Satan’s worst attack.
We’re gonna get leaders.
Come on.
We can do that with money, so
God wants more than enough, not
only in my hand but your hand
too.
This ain’t–this is not about
get-rich-quick, folks.
This is about getting God’s job
done.
>> Bill: God never intended for
the world’s system to support
his family.
You need a revelation of who you
are.
You got the same God in you that
Jesus had in him, and you got
the same anointing, being filled
with the Holy Ghost.
It’s not gonna be us.
It’s gonna be the Father in us.
He is gonna do the work
’cause we’re in the Sabbath,
and in the Sabbath it means that
I’m taking you back to the
Garden, back to a time where
Adam never had to bear the
weight of his own provisions,
that God was gonna take care
of him.
“Come unto me all that labor and
are heavy laden, and I’m gonna
give you rest.”
>> announcer: It is finished.
You have been redeemed from the
curse of lack, and your days of
toiling are over.
Your provision is now unlimited
in Pastor Winston’s dynamic
teaching, “Resting in God.”

>> Bill: Today’s teaching,
“Resting in God, Volume 1,” is a
part of a two-disc series.
Now, the purpose of this message
is to inspire you with a
question: is anything too hard
for God?
Praise the Lord.
Now, here’s a point I’d like you
to remember.
God has heavenly provisions for
every need that you and I might
have while we’re in this earth,
independent of the system of
this world, all the economic
conditions that we might be
experiencing.
In Matthew chapter 11, verse 28,
here’s what Jesus said.
He says, “Come unto me all who
labour and are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn
of me, for I am meek and lowly
in heart and you shall find rest
for your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.”
Now, let me just tell you what
he says here.
He is saying in that time there
could be an ox that would be
used to plow, and there is
another ox that is being taught
how to plow.
So, the stronger ox is put on
this, the lead ox, and then the
other one is learning as he
follows him.
Same thing about Jesus.
He’s our burden-bearer.
He’s the strongest one among us.
So, we are learning from him.
So, he says that “my yoke is
easy,” yoke to Jesus,
the yoke–ox and yolk together,
“and my burden is light.”
So, are you experiencing heavy
burden?
You better get it off you.
Praise the Lord.
Jesus has borne all of our
burdens.
He is making it so that the load
is light.
Praise the Lord.
Well, this teaching and others
that we’re working through is a
teaching that you need to get
the job done.
In other words, for today
there’s pressures from every
side, but God has a way to
relieve that pressure and have
you go through this life
stress-free.
Praise the Lord.
Well, this is Bill Winston
saying we love you,
and until next time,
keep walking by faith.
