In this teaching, by Dr. Bill Winston, you will learn how Jesus demonstrated the Kingdom by the signs, wonders and miracles he performed as the Sample Son and how you too can believe and operate in miracles.

Believer’s Walk of Faith…
BILL: You’ll see when Jesus
looked for a boat to
get in at the lake, who
boat that he picked?
Peter’s. Then Peter
said, thou are the Christ, the
son. He said, flesh and blood
didn’t reveal this to you. And
when Peter saw Him walking
on the water, he said, wait a
minute. If that be you, fit me
to come. You know why? Cause
Peter was ready for miracles. He
wanted to see him. He wanted to
be all that God wanted him to
be. And I decree from this day,
you gonna be hungry for
miracles. Miracles. They gonna
be running in your house.
They gonna be running in your
business. Say amen. In
the name of Jesus.
Bill: There are people. And
it was like me. I mean,
I’m being transparent
now. When I was just
beginning in this thing
and I was excited about
it and a little, um, having
youthful, uh, exuberance,
um, I went and, you know, I was
preaching on the streets cause
I’m, I’m, I’m on fire for God.
And I’m preaching, you know,
waving my Bible. You going to
hell, you sinner. You know, this
is what’s gonna happen to you.
And this lady came out of the
grocery store cause I was in a
kind of a strip mall thing and I
was preaching on, you know, way
across from the stores. But you
could hear me. I had no
megaphone or anything. You could
just hear me. I’m hollering. And
um, um, she came out, one of the
ladies who worked in the store,
I was taking a little break and
she said, preacher, I said,
yeah. She said, you know, I
believe you could win some of
’em if you was just a little
nicer. You going to hell too.
You know, you know what I’m
saying? See, I’m, I’m trying
to condemn them. See, I’m, I’m
trying to make them feel bad
now. I’m trying, I’m trying to
scare them. Cause I’m talking
about hellfire now. I’m talking
about brimstone. I’m talking
about you going to hell, man.
You going burn. And you know
what happened in New York at
9/11? What happened is all of a
sudden when the towers got hit,
everybody ran in church. But
then when they found out it
wasn’t all over, they ran back
out. You got what I’m saying?
Yeah. I’m saying if you tell a
person, okay, the reason why you
need to get saved cause you’re
going to hell if you don’t, now
that’s you and I understand the
meaning of that, but that’s not
what Jesus preached. Now there’s
places that he preached about
the rich man and the man that
said at the gate, and the rich
man went to hell. We know that
cause he wanted to let you know
Hades really exist. Right.
But that’s not what he told the
mayor. You know, I’m saying that
when he is preaching a gospel,
he is preaching good news And,
and, and what we need to do is
understand wait a minute, wait a
minute. What is the gospel? See?
And, and so if you tell
somebody, okay, the reason why
you need good sake, cause you’re
going hell, if you don’t, well
that’s fine. That might scare
some people and… for thought.
That’s good. But he said, with
loving kindness, I’m drawing
you. See, I’m, I’m going to tell
you what you can get. He said in
John chapter 10 verse 9, I’m
the door. And anybody that comes
through the door will go in and
out and find pasture. In other
words, you’re gonna find
something to eat. So, he
preached the gospel to the
poor man. What’s the gospel to a
person who’s poor? You don’t
have to be poor no more. And
look what he is doing. He’s now
showing people what heaven is
like and he’s manifesting it
in their lives so that wherever
they’re attached to, they wanna
leave that. Now, this is one of
the reasons why the enemy
doesn’t want miracles. Because
miracles turn people away from
dead gods. Here’s Peter. I just
have a feeling Peter was not
going to the synagogue every
Saturday. I just have that
feeling. I just, I just have
that feeling. And you follow
what I’m saying. He said, I got
a business to run, I ain’t got
time to go in there. So here,
here he was out here and Jesus
preached the gospel sat in his
boat, then told him to launch
out into the deep, he launched
out and caught a boat sinking
and net breaking load of fish.
Watch this, at a time you
shouldn’t fish. So miracles are
works of God or acts of God that
override natural laws of time,
space, and matter. So here is
Peter. Boom, jump, caught all
these fish threw himself down
to Jesus’ knees and repented and
said, I’m a sinful man. Now
notice what brought him to that.
The goodness of God. He, he, I
know that we can show people in
the scriptures where things
won’t happen with their life,
right, if they don’t obey God’s
commandment, we can show people
that. But I’m telling you now,
those people ran in the church
at 9/11 in New York City.
And then when they found out
everything was cool, they ran
back out. You’d never seen ’em
again. Why? Because of fear.
Fear ran ’em in there. And when
they found out they wasn’t going
to die, they ran back out. And
you tell people, well, you going
to hell. You know, if you don’t
get saved in your life, this
life is the only time you get to
get saved, then, then they’ll
say, okay, now let me see, I’m
19 now. I think I get saved when
I’m 69. And then, and that’s
what people do. They just want
to hit, you know, miss Hell.
See, but what was Jesus doing?
He was working miracles. See,
See, but what was Jesus doing?
He was working miracles. See,
this is the piece that most of
the church has left off. But
he’s saying imitate him. And he
said, if I don’t do the works of
God, don’t believe anything I
said. I’m I’m I’m. Can we talk
today? Did this, this is, this
is key for us to understand that
these miracles have a purpose.
But miracles give you an
unlimited ability. There are
even degrees of miracles. You’ve
got miracles over in Second
Kings chapter 20. Uh, here is,
uh, the prophet told, uh,
Hezekiah, get your house in
order, you’re gonna die. And
prophet and Hezekiah began to
suffocate before the Lord in
prayer and so forth, reminding
the Lord of all he done. And
then came to him, said, okay,
you go, he gonna give you 15
more years. And then Hezekiah
said, now let me see if this
going work. Let’s, let’s see now
are you telling me the truth?
And the prophet said this. He
said, okay, here’s what I’ll do.
Um, which way do you want this
sundial to turn, to go? Now the
Sundial gets, its its point from
the direction of the sun. He
said, do you want the sun dial
to go forward 10 degrees or
backwards 10 degrees? And he
said, well, to let it go forward
is an easy thing. He said, make
it go backwards. And the prophet
prayed and the sundial went
backwards 10 degrees. 10 degrees
is 40 minutes. See, he- 40
minutes in that situation. And
when Joshua spoke and said, sun,
stand still, the sun stood still
the Bible says in Joshua chapter
10, about a whole day. Notice,
it didn’t say a whole day, it
said about a whole day. And
where did the rest of the day
get made up? Over here with
Hezekiah. And they tell me, if
you go to the astronomers today,
they’ll tell you one day is
missing. Oh, I believe that’s
the right group here. Now, I’m
saying that’s what it’s for. And
it’s, it’s for really bringing
people into a place of hope that
they don’t have. They don’t have
that. Miracles are for purpose.
One, turn people away from false
gods. Next to give you an
unlimited ability. Thirdly,
they’re made to manage the
earth. If I do not the works of
my father, don’t believe me.
And look at this, what you’re
sitting in now. Flat miracle.
I mean the enemy was after us.
First of all, the money wasn’t
there. God said if, if, if, and
we didn’t have all the money. He
said, if the money’s not here by
Monday, go to the bank. I wanted
to say, I’ve been to the bank,
you know, I’ve been to the bank,
but he was gonna send me a bank
of his choice that’s known for
not loaning anybody anything
cause he’s a miracle working
God. I was meeting with some of
our people and you know, one of
the areas that we’ve got, and
they tell me, I said, give me
your forecast now for, for you
know, the Q1 or the Q3 or Q4. I
said, give me your forecast. I
said, okay, now this is
interesting. You just told me
what you are going to do.
What is God going to do? No, you
just, you just told me what you
can do, that according to the
scriptures, that’s not what you
made for. What is God going to
do? See, you can work and do
some stuff and that’s wonderful.
But God didn’t call you to that.
He didn’t call you to compete.
He called you to dominate. And
what people normally give you,
if you ask ’em something like
that, they give you what they
can do. Well this is all I can
do. No, it that probably true.
That’s all you can do. But if
you connect up with God,
now, tell me what y’all can do.
Because you’re not, you’re not,
you’re not, you’re not putting
God in there. And so when you
got that kind of condition,
now you got people, a bunch of
people and a church are acting
like any other club. Watch this.
And excited about leaders.
Not because of their power, but
because of their personality.
Because they’re popular. Come
on. But not a one sign and a
wonder coming through. If I do
not the works of my father,
don’t believe our thing that I
said. Now we are so caught up
with personality. Oh, he’s gonna
be there. What? He been here
for 10 years and you ain’t, you
ain’t- you still as broke as you
were. You still, come on. You
still not married, you still
not, I’m just talk about you
need somebody with some power.
See, what I’m doing? I’m pulling
the covers off of this thing.
Because we’ve been playing games
so long. The pandemic come and
we just as shut down as anybody
else. Folks, that shouldn’t
be so. It is so because of the
leadership. He said in Matthew
chapter 15, I think it’s 14, let
them alone. They be blind,
leaders of the blind. And if the
blind lead the blind, what’s
going to happen? Everybody’s
going into the ditch. Are you
following what I’m saying? Over
in Matthew’s Gospel 23. He said,
warn to you scribe, pharisees,
so forth and so on. He said, you
have shut up the what? Kingdom
of heaven. Yeah, you shut it
up. You’ve shut it up. In John
chapter 9. Here is Jesus came
along and it’s blind man. And
the disciples said, who did sin,
him or his parents that he was
born blind? See, they’re
pointing out sin. See, instead
of doing something about it,
yeah. They’re pointing it out.
If you could show ’em a miracle,
they’ll leave the sin. So
miracles can come in degrees.
The Bible says in Acts 19, Paul
worked unusual miracles. Now I
wonder what kind of miracles
they were. He said over in one
of the Old Testament prophets,
I’m about to work a worker
in your day that you will not
believe. Jesus going around
adding limbs on people. Do you
hear what I’m saying to you?
Here he sent forth his disciples
over in uh Matthews gospel
chapter 10 in verse 7. And he
told him, he said now I want you
to go and preach what? Saying
the what? The kingdom of heaven
is at hand. Now this what I want
you to do. Now I’m not I’m not
telling you to do this if you
have time. I’m telling you, this
is what I’m sending you out to
do. What did he say? Heal
the sick. What did he say do?
Cleanse the leper. What he say?
Raise the who? Woo! Did we have
an opportunity when that
pandemic hit? Woo! We could have
been a dead raising somebody.
Don’t get quiet on me. No. We
shaking our hands and like
everybody else. I’m telling you,
a lot of relatives will still be
here. Watch this, and get saved.
Cause when you pull ’em back
from the dead, they gonna get
saved. Yeah. Are y’all with me?
My thoughts. So that tells me if
saved. Yeah. Are y’all with me?
My thoughts. So that tells me if
I can think it, I can do it.
Oh boy. Here we go. Believe me,
it’s it’s, I’m I’m not going,
I’m not going. I’m not gonna
look at the saints. I’m gonna
look at leadership. I’m gonna
look at leadership. Folks, you
can get the wrong leaders in
there and it’ll take a country
down the drain. Had leaders up
there. They came back, two of
the leaders said this numbers
chapter 13 verse 30. Uh, let us
go up at once and possess it for
we are well able to overcome it.
10 leaders said what? We be not
able to come up against them.
There are giants in the land, so
forth and so on. See, and took 3
million people and cancel their
destinies. I’m gonna preach it.
I don’t care if you don’t like
it. If anything I’ll add
something to it. Took 3 million
people. Cause the Bible says
over in Romans chapter 10 verse
14, how would they hear lest
they have been told how they
hear without a preacher so
forth. So he put the leaders up
there for a reason. Cause the
people, God built the system so
it needs leadership. You go to
Acts and Acts chapter 4. And and
and, and look what happened. Uh,
Acts chapter 3, uh, they said,
here’s, here’s, here’s a man
that’s asking for arms and got
legs. He said silver and gold
have I none. Who is this? This
is Peter. This is Peter. And you
see Peter all through the book.
Why? Cause he was miracle
minded. You’ll see when Jesus
looked for a boat to get in at
the lake, who’s boat that he
pick? Peter’s. When it was time
for who- who do they say that I
am? One says son John the
Baptist. Some say another. But
uh, who do they say that I am?
And Peter said, thou art the
Christ the Son, he said, flesh
and blood didn’t reveal this to
you. And when Peter saw him
walking on the water, he said,
wait a minute. If that be you
fit me to come. You know why?
Cause Peter was ready for
miracles. He wanted to see ’em.
He wanted to be all that God
wanted him to be. And I decree
from this day, you gonna be
hungry for miracles. Miracles,
they gonna be running in your
house. They gonna be running in
your business. Say amen. In the
name of Jesus. Unless they see
signs and wonders, they will
not believe. We’re coming into a
time now it’s hard to talk ’em
in. Now I’m saying you’ll get
some little thing pieces here
and there, but try to talk the
big ones in. I’m talking the
ones that got the money, the
ones that got the influence,
the ones that got the big
businesses. They need a miracle.
They need something else to turn
them away from that false god
of money. And you can do it. I
said, you can do it. You’ve been
made for such a time as this. So
if you can think it, you can
do it. Here’s Peter in Matthew
14:28. And Jesus is walking
on the water and Peter said
something, he said, now, uh, if
that be you. Was it him? It was
Jesus all right, then bid me to
come to you on the water. Now,
Peter- People focus in on
Peter’s walk. Got it? They focus
in on it. Let’s come bring the
focus back a little bit. Let’s
focus in on his thought. Come
on. Come on now. See, if you can
receive and believe God’s
thoughts, you can take God’s
walk. That’s all. Peter was
open to foolish thoughts. And I
walk. That’s all. Peter was
open to foolish thoughts. And I
really believe that’s was common
for me, cause that’s what made
me put on that Superman shirt
and get on that garage. Come on,
come on and try to fly down
the windows house. I just didn’t
have the truth. But I had the
right mindset. A lot of people,
whether some of ’em get
intellectual, all the mindset of
miracles is gone. They’re
programmed it out of them and
they’re gonna have to be
reprogrammed. Then the others
have had some bad things that
happen in their life and they’re
so fearful of everything and
so they won’t receive God’s
thoughts. Oh, I can go around
and talk about people been
bruised or heard or somebody’s
been molested so forth like
that, all that to block God’s
thoughts. But you have the mind
of Christ. God’s given you a
new mind and a new heart.
BILL: Well, praise
the Lord. I trust that
you enjoyed that
teaching. Now again, we’re
talking about miracles.
We’re talking about
something that God wants to work
in the earth. He wants to show
people that he is the only one
true God. He wants the world to
be convinced of that. See, one
of the reasons why we’re in the
world is for us to save the
world. We’ve got to get ’em into
the kingdom. And for
many people, it takes us
supernatural. They’re gonna have
to see something that will prove
to them that what we are saying
is true. Isn’t that powerful?
You see, the first thing he told
Abraham in Genesis chapter 13
and 14, he said, lifts up your
eyes and look now toward the
north, south, east, and west and
all the land which you see to
thee will I give it and unto
thy seed forever. Now what is he
saying? You don’t see with your
eyes. You see through your eyes.
You see with your mind. You see,
unless you can see it, it’s hard
for him to give it to you
because you’ve got to see it.
When God called me to leave IBM,
I had to meditate until I saw
myself in ministry. I saw myself
leaving. I’m telling you, I one
day on on, on Minnesota, I was
driving down the street and that
thing came alive inside of me
when I was meditating, I stopped
the car and called my wife,
said, baby, we are leaving this
company Now, the company had
been good to me, but I saw
something bigger and I left
where I was. I’m just saying
that your mind has to go there.
Your feet will never go where
your mind has never been.
You are ready for a
miracle. Be miracle minded.
Praise God. Well, that’s
all we have for this
time. We’ll see you
next time. Until then,
keep walking by Faith.

FEMALE: I can’t thank Dr.
Bill Winston enough for
being a blessing in my life. I
am so glad I decided to partner
with this ministry. In 2018, I
was drowning emotionally and
financially. I was often filled
with anxiety and fear. I went to
see my doctor and she referred
me to a psychologist. Now the
psychologist was booked for
the year and wasn’t seeing new
patients. So I turned to my
Bible. I often found myself
reading for hours. A few weeks
later, I was in the hair salon
and heard my stylist listening
to a minister. I turned to her
and asked, who is that? He is
bold. She replied, Dr. Bill
Winston, you can find him on
YouTube. Before long, I had
listened to all of Dr. Bill
Winston’s teachings on YouTube
and was hungry for more. I began
donating to the ministry and
then became a partner. Why?
Because I was getting so much
out of Dr. Bill Winston’s
teachings. My soul was
prospering. I no longer felt
fearful. I was filled with joy
and peace. Late 2019, the devil
stepped in and tried to invade
my body with cancer. But God
said otherwise. I stood on God’s
Word in Matthew 15:13. I went
through with the surgery to, you
know, appease my doctor. The
pathology report came back
negative. No cancer was found in
my body before long I was outta
debt. House, car, doctor bills,
and many more bills all paid in
full. Since partnering with your
ministry, I have paid off close
to 1 million in debt.
Again, thank you for your
ministry. You have truly been
a blessing in my life.
