Faith and the comforter can cause you to get out of what you've been into. Watch this. And he worked deliverance all over town. It didn't matter what you had. Jesus can deliver you from it. Word power. He can deliver you from whatever you got. I don't care if, if you got a crooked toe, he'll deliver you. He'll deliver you from demons of poverty, demons of witchcraft, demons of come on, perversion, demons of come on, he can deliver. He can make it so you don't have, you couldn't have a child. You going to have one now. The comforter has come. You never could catch Jesus at his words. They tried to do it. You couldn't catch it. He always spoke the right thing at the right time, so forth and so on. So now if anyone is like that, they are mature. So I can tell how mature you are by how you speak. I can tell. Now I don't care how many times you came to church today, but I can tell where you going by your mouth. Now I'm saying that you'll get better, but that's the way you can locate the spiritual maturity of somebody. And I observe it all the time because I want to know people around me know they, they can't say. But, you know, they got to watch their words. They really do. Because, you know, I'm. I remember when I was coming up, you. You couldn't, you know, people I knew you. You couldn't go around them talking any kind of crazy talk, you know, I mean, they won't say nothing, but they'll look at you. Really? Yeah. If anybody. Yeah, because you're talking crazy. I mean, you're not using profanity or anything like that, but you got crooked speech. And they know with that kind of speech, if you. With them, you might try to take them down, really, you. So. So that you have to watch the next verse. Verse 3. Ready? Read.
Reader
When we put bits in the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder where wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise. The tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
Bill Winston
Now look at that. You can take a small cigarette and set a whole forest on fire. Burn up 500 houses with that one cigarette. That's what that tongue will do. That's why he had to get rid of those people who were fearful. Because you're fearful, the enemy tries to get you in fear so he can talk through you, he can work through you. So he talks about a very small helm. That's a helm right there, and I've shown that before. But I want you to see it, because I can turn that. And the moment I turn it, nothing happens. But if I leave it turned in, it keeps the rudder cocked. And so now the ship, so big, it starts slowly to turn. And the same thing about a bit in the horse's mouth. That horse is strong. But if I pull that bit to one side with those reins, that horse is going to turn that way. Here's a steering wheel. And by the way, this is a BMW, all right? So if I want to go somewhere different, I can't keep this wheel where it is. I just can't master and accelerate it and think that's going to take me somewhere else. I got to take this and turn it. You turn your tongue at first, you won't see any change. But keep it in. Isn't that something? You keep it in, and I'm guaranteeing you, you will turn. Now look at Proverbs, chapter 18, verse 20 and 21. Ready? Read.
Reader
A man's belly shall be Satisfied with the fruit of his mouth, and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
Bill Winston
So you just. Not with my job. I know I'm working hard, but it also takes my mouth. I can't work hard and then have a. Loose lips. Loose lips do what? They sink ships, you know, so you can't. So you gotta make sure that your speech is right so that you'll have what you say. Next verse 21. Ready? Read.
Reader
Death and life are in the power of the tongue. And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Bill Winston
Isn't that something? So death and what are in the power of the what? That's what. They're coming out of Egypt. And they came in the wilderness. And look at Numbers 14 and Verse 28 and see what they see. What happened to them in. In the Egypt. In the wilderness. Ready? Read.
Reader
Say unto them, as truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you.
Bill Winston
Now look at that. As they have spoken in God's ears, that's what he's gonna get. Isn't that something? Now look at Moses. Moses. Psalm chapter 106, verse 33. Look at Moses. Now, Moses was the leader. So he hung around that. That unbelieving bunch so long, look what happened. Ready? Read.
Reader
Because they provoked his spirit so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
Bill Winston
Unadvisably with his lips. Your tongue can keep you from getting to your wealthy place. Do y' all have that? Now, what is this? And when I turn it, what's going to happen to my life? Suppose I turn it this way. Suppose my. My wealth and riches are this way, and I'm turning. Come on, this way. And then I'm talking about I'm going broke, right? You turning. Is that clear? All right. No planting the heavens. Look at Isaiah chapter 51 and verse 16. And let's go through that, please. Isaiah 51 and verse 16. Now, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now, I don't know what state you are in right now, but you remember the steering wheel, the helm. All you got to do is turn your tongue. Am I right? Now, that gonna be an enemy. I can guarantee you that's gonna say you lying. But how can you lie saying what God said? He said you're rich. Ready? Read.
Reader
And I have put my words in thy mouth. And I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand that I may plant the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth and say unto Zion, thou art my people.
Bill Winston
All right. I put my words in your Mouth covered you in the shadow of my hand that I may plant the heavens. Plant the heavens. Look at Isaiah, chapter 46, verse 9 and 10. Ready, read.
Reader
Remember the former things of old. For I am God and there is none else. I am God and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times, the things that are not yet done, saying, my counsel shall stand and I will do all my pleasure.
Bill Winston
In other words, everything that I said is going to come to pass. Because words were made to accomplish things. They were made to accomplish things. Look at Isaiah 55, verse 11. I just want to go through these, make sure you got it. But words were made to accomplish something. I put my words in your mouth and covered you in the shadow of my hand that I may plant the heavens. Ready? Read.
Reader
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Bill Winston
Now notice, everything is created twice. Everything is created twice. First, what God said in Isaiah 46, he's created all these things. He has had the end from the beginning. God doesn't start until he's finished. After he finished everything supposed to be in the earth, God rested. Got it? So it's already done. It's already done. Every generation, it's already done. So let's say one generation comes in, here comes a lot of need for this or that. God has already the innovation that he has created. And he needs somebody like you to pull down that idea and bring it forth in the earth. Say Amen. And you should be that entrepreneur that's going to bring it forth in the earth. Because whoever brings things forth in the earth that solves human problems, they get the money. They get the money. The money follows the Creator. And so you are the one who's going to create. You have the wisdom. God has given you his wisdom. Now you're going to bring forth something in the earth that's going to solve the problem of pollution. And it could be something other than some electric car or keeping you from buying a gas stove. The man had an electric car. And when the hurricane came in, in Florida, the water rose up, touched the battery and it exploded. The whole car caught on fire, the whole garage caught on fire. I'm just saying, nothing wrong with these, but give me a choice. See, and because God's people may not be on the job, they may be in a place that's that. That don't feel responsible for anything. We're not receiving the idea. So God's got to give them to somebody to keep this place, to keep people living. Say Amen to that. That's a powerful concept. Say planting the heavens. Say I am one of God's instruments to plant. Plant the heavens. Put up there. First Corinthians, chapter three and verse nine. Put it up in the niv. Translation please. Ready? Read.
Reader
For we are co workers in God's service. You are God's field, God's building. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder and someone else is building on it.
Bill Winston
So we are co workers with God. He counts on us to receive the seed. From where? From heaven and plant it where on the earth. Now thy kingdom come, thy will be done as it is. So all that for every generation. You got seeds. And he's got the church designated for farmers. You are the ones that gonna plant the seed. You are the one that's gonna innovate. You're the one that's gonna handle the money right now you look at these country companies. You look at Nvidia for example, the one that came out with AI. Look how they in two years, look how they become market cap is a trillion dollars. They move right up with Microsoft. Now they got seven of them up there. They call them the magnificent seven. And they call them that because of innovation. They keep inventing. You can't sit still on yesterday's innovation. All you got to do is come up with something new. Just keep up with the Holy Ghost. He's going to be talking to you, giving you. But Daniel, chapter one, verse 20 up there, please. Ready? Read.
Reader
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding that the king inquired of them, he found them 10 times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
Bill Winston
He found them ten times times better. So that's where you should be as compared to the world. You should have wisdom that stands out. I'm going to give you another verse. Psalms chapter 72 and verse 18. Ready? Read.
Reader
Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
Bill Winston
He only does things that leave others far behind. It only does things that nobody else can match. Come on now. I'm here to tell you you have been designated by God as a pacesetter. All you have to do is whatever profession you is, listen that God you're in, listen at God and see what he's got to say. He'll give you some innovation there. You can come to that country company and innovate. Next thing you know, there'll be one to give you a bonus. Hey, how did you come up with that? The next place I want to go is the devil made me do it. All right? How many of you remember Flip Wilson? He said the devil made him do it. Now, this is not something that we. Because this little boy and little girl were in the back seat of the car, some friends of mine. And, you know, they had heard about the devil. And so the little girl kept saying, no, no, no. And they found. Said, christy, what's wrong with you? Some telling me to slap my brother, but I'm telling them no. So I'm saying the devil made me do it. All right, look at Genesis, chapter three and verse 13. Ready, read.
Reader
Then the Lord God said to the woman, what is this you have done? The woman said, the serpent deceived me and I ate.
Bill Winston
Now, isn't that something? The enemy comes in to deceive, all right? And he comes in with a suggestion or a symptom to deceive you. Sometimes that's a symptom that you just felt. That's not the actual thing. But if you receive it, then it will turn into the same thing. You got what I'm saying? That's just a symptom in your pocketbook. That's just a symptom. That's a symptom. But if you. I'm broke. Now, you done. Cut it. But out of your mouth now you've. You've. You. You've bound yourself to it. Say amen. Say I. I receive no symptoms, no suggestions from the devil. I cast them down in Jesus name. Now also pressure to conform or opportunity to change. Now, Daniel, chapter three, verse 17. Ready, read.
Reader
If it be so, our God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace. And he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king.
Bill Winston
Now, who is that? That's the three Hebrews. That's the three Hebrews. Now, what, are they threatened with the fiery furnace? Now, can you say they are under pressure? All right, but what is God? What does the scripture tell you to do about pressure? What. What does it tell you to do about your care? Cast it over. On who? Because he cares for who. He cares for me. All right. But they decided not to bow down under pressure, and as a result, they changed the laws. Did Martin Luther King march during the time where they had pressure to keep segregation going and he refused to bow down? What happened? Change the law? I'm telling you, when you don't bow, you don't burn and you can change the law. Genesis, chapter 19, verse 4 and 5, please. Ready? Read.
Reader
Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house. They called to Lot, where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.
Bill Winston
Now, they didn't want any of the women. Lot. Or offered up his two daughters and say, take my two daughters. They didn't want that. Now, I'm saying something here, that that kind of thing had persisted in the Old Testament because of Ecclesiastes chapter 4. And read that, if you will, and let's see what it says. Ecclesiastes 4, verse 1, ready? Read.
Reader
So I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold the tears of such as were oppressed. And they had no comforter. And on the side of their oppressors there was power. But they had no comforter.
Bill Winston
So there was no comforter. Who was the first comforter that came? Jesus. Who was the second comforter? Holy Ghost. So they had no Jesus and no Holy Ghost because they couldn't take any action against Satan converting all these people. But now we got the comforter. And the comforter can cause you to get out of what you've been into. Watch this. And he worked deliverance all over town. It didn't matter what you had. Jesus can deliver you from it. Word power. He can deliver you from whatever you got. I don't care if you got a crooked toe. He'll deliver you. He'll deliver you from demons of poverty, demons of witchcraft, demons of. Come on. Perversion, demons of. Come on. He can make it so you don't have. You couldn't have a child. You gonna have one now. The comforter has come. Say that with me. The comforter has come. You can take comfort now because he has come. The strength is no longer on the side. Side of the oppressor. Glory to God. Listen, saints, I ain't gonna let nothing go. I'm gonna let nothing go. Everywhere the devil got his head, I'm gonna get it out. Everywhere. He's trying to provoke you. I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna annihilate his work. I'm telling you, the church is here to set the captives free. You can str with the power of the Word. Word power. His name shall be called the Word of God. Praise the Lord. I trust that you enjoy that. Now remember, the enemy, Satan is God of this world. That's what the Bible calls him in Second Corinthians, chapter 4 calls him God of this world. And he's got systems and people that try to pressure you into saying what he wants you to say so that he could do more with your words for his world. You got that? Now God wants us to always say what he says, no matter how much the pressure. Speak the promise, not the problem. Got it? No matter how much the pressure, speak the promise, not the problem. And when you do that, you're giving God a chance to get in there and work. This is a powerful teaching. Now I want you to order it. Praise God. It'll do you good. Well, this is Bill Winston saying we love you and until next time, keep walking by faith.

This is Bill Winston. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever received Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior? Now somebody said, well, I don't know about that. Let me tell you.

Date: February 27, 2025
Host: Bill Winston (Bill Winston Ministries)
This episode, titled "Live By GOD’s Wisdom – WORD Power," centers around the profound impact of spoken words, the importance of speaking in faith, and how harnessing the "word power" aligns believers with God’s promises and creative authority. Bill Winston stresses that God’s wisdom, expressed through our words, can shape destinies, deliver from bondage, innovate solutions, and overcome worldly pressure. The message is both inspirational and practical, urging listeners to speak life, resist negative confessions, and partner with God as creators in the earth.

Bill Winston’s communication is passionate, energetic, and pastoral. He mixes practical life stories, scriptural teaching, and encouragement, frequently using stories, rhetorical questions, and call-and-response with listeners. He calls believers to bold, faith-filled speech—that “seeds” God’s intentions on earth—and warns against conforming to worldly negativity.
