Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. God’s Purpose in This Season

• Faith as a Showcase of God’s Power:
  • God wants to demonstrate His power to the world and the enemy through believers (00:12).
  • “Don’t be looking at your background. Don’t be looking at your pedigree. Don’t be looking at your race… Did God say it? Because if God said it, let God be true and every man be a liar.”
    — Bill Winston, 00:17

2. Living Faith in Action

• Real-Life Example: Bill recounts an experience where he spoke to his car to start in subzero Chicago weather, inspired by Jesus’ command to the fig tree (00:42–05:27).
• Faith Invites Ridicule: Acting in faith sometimes attracts ridicule or seems illogical to human reasoning (04:45).
• Supernatural Isn’t Always Spectacular: The miraculous may not always appear dramatic, but it is effective (04:00).
• Faith as Original Technology:
  • “Jesus is the original doctor and faith is the original technology.”
    — Bill Winston, 05:06

3. Faith Grows by Use

• From Faith to Faith:
  • Each step of faith builds confidence and leads to greater acts (05:27–07:12).
  • “Faith often puts you in a place of ridicule… Human reason and faith are on opposite sides of the line.”
    — Bill Winston, 04:54
• Impossible Situations Feed Faith:
  • "Pretty soon you're going to drift way over into the impossible. But the impossible feeds faith. Faith is looking for it. Your spirit smiles at the impossible."
    — Bill Winston, 05:43–05:57

4. Identity and Uniqueness of Believers

• Made in Heaven:
  • Believers are uniquely made, not to emulate the world but to exceed its limitations through faith (07:12).
  • “See something Made in America. See something else? Made in Japan. Well, they look on you as made in heaven… God is perfect.”
    — Bill Winston, 07:19–07:28

5. Faith Is Simple and Accessible

• Common Misconceptions:
  • Faith does not require extensive knowledge—using it is like operating a remote control (08:09).
  • “I don’t want to know about it to the point that I got to fix my own airplane… I just want to know I can just take the throttle and push it forward and expect something to happen. And I’m telling you, faith is that simple.”
    — Bill Winston, 08:19–08:39
• Every Believer Has the Measure of Faith:
  • All believers have the same initial measure of faith—it’s a matter of using and growing it (09:12).

6. Faith Connects You to God’s Ability

• Biblical Illustrations:
  • Jesus’ healing of two blind men in Matthew 9:27–30 — “According to your faith be it unto you” (10:50).
  • “Faith connects you with God’s ability. God’s ability is your inheritance. And when you operate in faith… faith compels God to move in on your behalf.”
    — Bill Winston, 10:52–11:03

7. You Are Destined for the Impossible

• Stepping Into the “Canaan” of Life:
  • “He’s about to lead you into the impossible on purpose… If we just do this stuff that’s possible there’s no difference. People are looking for different folks… We can’t depend on the world.”
    — Bill Winston, 13:37–14:14
• Faith and Truth Over Fact:
  • “I know the doctor said it's impossible. But God says it's possible. See, you and I are dealing with truth, and truth is up here. It's the highest realm.”
    — Bill Winston, 14:18–14:25

8. Faith Is the Answer in a World Out of Answers

• God’s Solution Precedes the Problem:
  • “The world is running out of answers... But you and I have the solution for any. I don’t care how bad the situation is. Got an answer for it. Say amen to that. And the answer was here before the problem.”
    — Bill Winston, 15:11–15:23

9. Delegating and Growing Faith

• Stop Centralizing Faith:
  • The old “Babylonian” model involved one leader shouldering all the faith; everyone can use the same measure to believe for their area (15:36–16:33).
• Living by Heaven’s Economy:
  • Faith is currency in God’s system; sowing seeds in faith produces provision beyond what’s in your bank account (16:37–17:47).

10. Practical Application: Using and Growing Your Faith

• Faith is Grown by Hearing and Doing the Word:
  • “I got to make this faith grow. Now, how do I make this faith grow? I got to use it. I got to hear the word and I got to do it.”
    — Bill Winston, 18:46–18:54
• Faith Pays No Attention to ‘Impossible’:
  • “Faith has no respect for the word impossible. So when you hear the word impossible, as far as you’re concerned, hit the delete key next.”
    — Bill Winston, 19:37–19:42
• Faith as Destiny’s Holder and Universal Currency:
  • “Faith is a master key. Faith is your servant. And faith is this international universal currency.”
    — Bill Winston, 19:57–20:04
• Don’t Shrink Your Requests to Fit Your Means:
  • God provides what He leads you to. “Don’t try to shrink it down so that you can afford it. Because everything that God leads you to has been paid for.”
    — Bill Winston, 20:33–20:39

11. Claiming Your Promises

• “Take Back” Everything God Has Given:
  • Jesus has already taken back all the enemy stole; it’s the believer’s job to claim the people and property He’s secured (22:14–23:39).
• Heaven is Waiting for You to Ask:
  • “In heaven, it already got your name on it… He’s just ready for you to ask him. When you go ask him? He wants you to ask him.”
    — Bill Winston, 22:30–22:40
