Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Is There Anything Too Hard for the Lord?

• Bill Winston opens by challenging listeners to consider God's limitless power.
  • "I'm asking you, is there anything too hard for the Lord? There is nothing too hard for God." (00:12)
• Main point: If God requires our authority to move, believers must speak His promises with conviction.

2. Satan as a Negotiator and the Importance of Not Settling

• Guest Speaker highlights how Satan tries to negotiate people out of their inheritance using the story of Moses and Pharaoh (Exodus 3).
• Real faith refuses to compromise:
  • "Because the only thing Satan going to respect is power." (03:09)
  • Moses refuses to leave anyone or anything behind: "Moses said, no deal." (03:33)

3. “Bread Comes With This”: Redemption Includes All Benefits

• Bill Winston repeats the analogy, likening salvation to a barbecue order:
  • "Somebody left the bread out in your life. Cause bread comes with this. When you got released, you got benefits." (03:51)
• Psalm 103: Remember not only forgiveness, but all the benefits—especially healing and provision as part of redemption (05:14-06:14).

4. God Delivers with Favor and Fullness

• Supernatural Provision: Exodus 3:19-22 is unpacked. God brought Israel out of Egypt not empty-handed, but with favor and abundance.
  • "When you go, you're not going to go empty." (07:44, Bill Winston)
  • Key thought: Redemption includes material provision; don't just settle for spiritual benefits.

5. Don’t Lower God’s Word—Raise Your Expectations

• Press for the Supernatural: Listeners are exhorted to keep God's promises at His level, not reduce them to human logic.
  • Stories of healing and supernatural restoration are mentioned, e.g., breaking generational curses and receiving physical miracles.
  • "If you expect the supernatural, you will get the supernatural." (06:14, Guest Speaker)

6. Your Inheritance—Fully Reserved

• Psalm 139 & 1 Peter 1:3-4 referenced—believers’ wholeness and inheritance are designed and stored by God even before birth.
  • Story: Visiting an auto plant to show how spare parts are prepared for future models—God’s warehouse analogy.
  • "You have an inheritance reserved in heaven. Now, we're not talking about going to heaven when you die... [Jesus] preached heaven coming to earth." (14:55-15:18, Guest Speaker)

7. Wholeness, Restoration, and Faith Technology

• Matthew 15:29-31: Jesus healed the lame, blind, dumb, and maimed—by faith, even lost limbs can be restored.
• Key idea: Faith is the original technology—use it to transfer heavenly provision to earthly needs.
  • "Faith is the original technology. You don't have to know how this works. What you need to do is understand that by faith we understand." (17:33, Bill Winston)

8. Don't Limit God—Faith Over Natural Reasoning

• Encourages listeners to believe for the impossible—including new body parts and miraculous interventions, not just what medicine or logic makes possible.
  • "Your mind can't handle this. This is so far above your head till it's pathetic. What you need to do is with the heart, man, believe." (21:10, Bill Winston)

9. Authority to Speak—Your Role in the Supernatural

• Believers must vocalize and claim their benefits; God moves when we exercise our authority.
  • "If we know that God does it and he needs our authority to speak, speak it, then we need to go to saying something." (22:52, Bill Winston, repeated throughout)

Memorable Quotes & Notable Moments

• On Expecting the Fullness of Redemption:
  • "Bread comes with this. When you got released, you got benefits." (03:51, Bill Winston)
• On Uncompromising Faith:

• On Favor as Supernatural Compensation:
  • "One day of favor is worth a lifetime of labor." (08:20, Bill Winston)
• On Not Limiting God:
  • "We thought God could heal a cold, but he couldn't heal a man. What is the difference with God?" (18:41, Bill Winston)
• On God’s Supernatural Supply:
  • "What's in heaven? A warehouse without walls. There is a supply that won't run out... Arms, legs, toes, feet, hair, teeth, eardrums, organs." (17:16-17:33, Guest Speaker & Bill Winston)

Summary

Using biblical narratives, personal stories, and practical declarations, they confront religious limits on God’s power.

[Bill Winston]

I'm asking you, is there anything too hard for the Lord? There is nothing too hard for God. If we know that God does it and he needs our authority to speak it, then we need to go to saying something. Let the redeemed of the Lord. Now what I told you is that Satan is a negotiator, that his job is to negotiate you out of what God says is yours.

[Guest Speaker]

Look at Exodus chapter three please.

[Bill Winston]

Over in Exodus chapter three.

[Guest Speaker]

The children of Israel. I see I'm going to have to preach this. The children of Israel are coming out of Egypt. Now God is sending Moses down there to get them out. It's interesting what he did with Moses. He said, moses, I want you to go down and take Israel out of there. Moses said, wait a minute, who shall I say sent me? He said, just tell them I am.

[Bill Winston]

I said, just tell them I am. You see, I am is not. I was. Come on. I am is not. Someday I'm going to be. See, when you're dealing with faith, you're dealing with I am. You're dealing with the very presence of God. You see, in the eternal, it's already done. In heaven, it's already done. God doesn't start till he's finished everything for your life that God was going to do. He finished it before you ever came in. So I'm saying it's already done. And you can cannot say I'm going to be. If you do that, you're not lining up with the power of faith to deliver it into your hand. So Moses had to go down there. He didn't give him a battery of lawyers. He didn't give him a bunch of hundred thousand soldiers. He gave him a stick and a big mouth man named Aaron. He said, now take us down there and you go set Israel free. I'm saying to you, stop looking at the way the world does things. God is about to give you a way to do something that the world has never looked at and might be laughing at. I'm here to tell you you're about to get back everything. You see, the problem has been is that we have lost some stuff and didn't know we lost it. The reason why is because we weren't in faith. You see, only by faith can God transfer it into your hands. And we have, and not knowingly, because we weren't walking in faith. Much of what God has intended for our lives has not been delivered to us. So the enemy still got it. And he's now going to negotiate with Moses. So this is what he says to.

[Guest Speaker]

Him in one place. He said, well now see, after Moses started demonstrating the power. Because the only thing Satan going to respect is power. And so he's demonstrating the power. And then here comes Pharaoh, said, listen, okay, I'm going to let you go, but don't go too far.

[Bill Winston]

Come on.

[Guest Speaker]

And Moses said, no deal.

[Bill Winston]

Then he came at him again.

[Guest Speaker]

He said, okay, tell you what, I'll let you go, but leave the children here. What do you think? Moses said, no deal.

[Bill Winston]

Now I'm telling you, what I said.

[Guest Speaker]

Is bread comes with this.

[Bill Winston]

I said, the woman went up to the counter, got her barbecue, walked away, looked in the bag, and somebody left the bread out. And I'm telling you, somebody left the bread out in your life. Cause bread comes with this. When you got released, you got benefits. And it says In Psalm chapter 103, 1, Bless the Lord, O my soul. Come on now. And all that is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul. And forget not. Forget not, forget not his benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases. How many iniquities does he forgive? All of them. Everything you've ever done, even that you never told anybody about when you crossed over, God wiped it out, folks. It's not in history. It doesn't exist. So not only did he do that, but he healeth all your diseases. So that means really it's covering everything you got. Max, maximum coverage. I'm just saying. Notice what he did. He took it and gave you a brand new start. And then healed everything you got. But then I saw in Psalm 105:37, he brought them forth also with silver and gold. I said silver. You see, your redemption is not complete without divine provision. He never did want you to be born again. And trying to struggle to pay off bills now. No, you forget, not all your benefits. Bread comes with this. Look what he says over here.

[Guest Speaker]

Exodus chapter 3. Now here's what I'm saying, folks. If you expect the supernatural, you will get the supernatural. Let me just show you what this says. He said this in verse 19. And I am sure that the King of Egypt will not let you go. No, not by a mighty hand. And I'll stretch forth my hand, and I'm going to smite Egypt with all my wonders, and which I will do in the midst thereof. And after that he will let you go. Notice what he Said, I'm sure the king of Egypt will not let you go. No, not by anything that you can do in your own strength. He ain't going to let you go. But I'm going to stretch out my hand.

[Bill Winston]

Come on. Now, God is about to stretch out.

[Guest Speaker]

His hand.

[Bill Winston]

And he says this. Watch this.

[Guest Speaker]

And he says, in Egypt, with all my wonders, which I will do in the midst thereof. And after that, he will let you go. And I'll give this people favor. Come on. Somebody say favor. And Lord have mercy. Sight of all Egyptians. And it shall come to pass that when you go, you will not go. How?

[Bill Winston]

You will not go.

[Guest Speaker]

How? Empty.

[Bill Winston]

Now, when you go, you're not going to go empty. I said when you go, you'll not go empty. Now, see, bread comes with this. And Satan's trying to call something back, tell you that you can get saved. But healing, leave that alone. You're okay. Just keep limping. He is saying that you get saved, but that's all right. I know you're behind in your rent, but just keep a stip up a lip and just let the Lord just.

[Guest Speaker]

Have his way in your life and.

[Bill Winston]

No, you're supposed to own the apartment building. Listen, there you go. One day of favor is worth a lifetime of labor. I said, one day of favor is worth a lifetime of labor. I'm saying they had worked for 400 years and they would do something.

[Guest Speaker]

Look what he says next. Verse 22. And every woman shall borrow of her neighbor and of her that sojourned in the house. Jewels of silver, jewels of gold, raiment. And he shall put them on your sons, upon your daughters. And you shall do what to the.

[Host/Interviewer]

Egyptians, you shall spoil the Egyptians.

[Guest Speaker]

Now, stay with me. You and I have got to make sure that we don't bring this word down.

[Host/Interviewer]

Interpretation.

[Guest Speaker]

We got to make sure. We have to make sure we keep the word up there where God said it should be. Are you with me here? Now, this healing, for example, somebody might have a situation where cancer runs in their family. And the doctor said it runs in your family. And that's just the way it is. All right, let's don't pull it down. Let's keep it up there. Because God, in healing, you can press new genetic keys and what you had a weakness for or susceptible to is no longer in your life.

[Bill Winston]

And I declare that's happening right now.

[Guest Speaker]

In the name of Jesus. I said in the name of Jesus. Now this who we are and how God has made us. I want you to see over In Psalm, chapter one, hundred thirty nine. In Psalm chapter 139. Now, I'm talking about. Forget not all his. What? Benefits. You've got some benefits out here. And you are not to leave without those benefits. They are your benefits, and God said they are yours. Now, I'm about to take you out somewhere, perhaps, where you haven't gone before, so just hold on. But remember, Satan is a negotiator. His job is to make you feel you don't deserve something or to blind your mind so you won't see something. And I'm telling you here in this meeting, they're opening up you. They're having you to see things that you didn't see. So you're gonna get things that you didn't get and go somewhere you've never been before. All right, now watch this. In verse 15. My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret and curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance yet being imperfect. And in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet, there was none of them.

[Host/Interviewer]

Now, what does this mean?

[Guest Speaker]

This means that in heaven before you were made, the Bible says In Jeremiah, chapter 1, verse 5, before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you. Not only did he know you.

[Bill Winston]

He then.

[Guest Speaker]

Has a file on your members.

[Host/Interviewer]

Stay with me.

[Guest Speaker]

A friend of mine some years ago went to visit General Motors or Chrysler or whatever. And what they said to him is that they had wanted to show him the new cars. Then they said, let me show you the next year. Showed him prototype. Let me show you the next year.

[Host/Interviewer]

Prototype.

[Guest Speaker]

They had on the drawing board. Five years of cars.

[Bill Winston]

Then they said, let's go over to.

[Guest Speaker]

This other warehouse and went over to the other warehouse and showed him parts. And he said, what are those parts for? He said, those parts are for these cars that are coming out. And he said, wait a minute. You mean you make the parts before you make the car? He said, oh, yeah, let's help.

[Host/Interviewer]

Help me with this.

[Guest Speaker]

Because he said in Psalms.

[Bill Winston]

All your members.

[Guest Speaker]

Are on file. Over in first Peter and chapter one and verse three. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which, according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again into a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

[Host/Interviewer]

Watch this.

[Guest Speaker]

To an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you. So wait a minute. You have an inheritance reserved in heaven. Now, we're not talking about going to heaven when you die. And get it then.

[Bill Winston]

Jesus didn't preach that.

[Guest Speaker]

He didn't preach going to heaven. He preached heaven coming to earth. Now, as you look at this now.

[Bill Winston]

Put it up against.

[Guest Speaker]

Now come with me now. Matthew, chapter 15. Look what he says, starting in verse 29. And Jesus departed from thence and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee. And he went up into a mountain and sat down there. And great multitudes came to him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, and what else? Maimed, and many others. And cast him down at Jesus feet. And he healed them insomuch that the multitude wondered when they saw the. Who dumb to speak. Keep going. The maimed to be made what whole? The lame to walk and the blind to see. And they glorified the God of Israel.

[Host/Interviewer]

Now, wait a second.

[Guest Speaker]

So what am I saying? Saying that the maime got healed. Wait a minute. I'm not stopping with Jesus because he just said what he did. You can do. Listen, I've been in war. I've seen the main. But they brought them to Jesus and new members grew out. Now, try to explain it. No, don't try to explain it.

[Bill Winston]

By faith, you understand? And that's what's been happening to the body of Christ. We have tried to somehow scientifically explain how this happened. Don't even touch it. Let it go right into your spirit and. And let God give you a revelation.

[Guest Speaker]

Of it and watch you operate in the same thing.

[Bill Winston]

Now, where are the members?

[Guest Speaker]

They're in heaven. What's in heaven? A warehouse without walls. There is a supply that won't run out.

[Bill Winston]

Of members. Arms, legs, toes, feet, hair, teeth, eardrums, organs. They brought them to Jesus. He healed them. What was he doing? He was using something to transfer heaven to earth. Faith is the original technology. You don't have to know how this works. What you need to do is understand that by faith we understand. And knowing that if I speak to this mountain. Think about it. I spoke to my car and it started. I don't know what happened to it. I don't.

[Guest Speaker]

Lord have mercy. Are y' all with me?

[Bill Winston]

You see, God knew that we, in our unsaved life, we may have spoke.

[Guest Speaker]

Spoke, smoke, smoked too many cigarettes. And now emphysema has set in. Now the lungs are damaged.

[Bill Winston]

Well, you need new lungs. Well, how about kidney drunk?

[Guest Speaker]

Too much liquor. Liver gone bad.

[Bill Winston]

Come on now. I'm taking. Go right down the line. It doesn't make any difference what you got. This is a group that's going to be Made whole. Now, I'm telling you, what has happened is we thought God could heal a cold, but he couldn't heal a man. What is the difference with God? Come on, now. I'm talking about, do you believe that I'm able to do this? I'm talking about you supply the faith and God does the work.

[Guest Speaker]

Now you can come back and start to understand.

[Bill Winston]

Oh, yeah, I see.

[Guest Speaker]

When Jesus the blind man came to him. John, chapter nine. And he came to him and Jesus spit on the ground.

[Bill Winston]

Spit on the ground, made some clay.

[Guest Speaker]

And put it on his eyes.

[Bill Winston]

Can't you see the symbolism here? This is how he made him at first. I mean, I'm talking about his body was made out of the clay. It doesn't make any difference what you got. You are about to be blessed. And I'm telling you, we got to go beyond. Can God heal this headache? Can he heal the headache? It can give you a new brain to go in the headache. Say Amen to that. We have settled for fallen man technology. Thank God that you can go out and buy a hip. But with faith, you can buy. With no money, you can transfer. You can transfer a hip. Boy, you're going to get me, see, because they need to see a difference between you and the rest of the world. I'm not talking about a small difference. I'm talking about a difference that make them beat their door down to get to your church. Folks. We are the group that he's been waiting for. And I'm telling you with you, don't be trying to think. Well, that's.

[Guest Speaker]

How is that going to happen?

[Bill Winston]

Stop. Get it out of your mind. Your mind can't handle this. This is so far above your head till it's pathetic. What you need to do is with the heart, man, believe. You need to know. Wait a minute. All I got to do is lay hand on the sick and they shall recover. It doesn't make any difference what they do. It doesn't make any difference. He'll fix it all the way down to the genes of molecules. He'll fix it all the way down. Now, what is Satan trying to do? Negotiate.

[Guest Speaker]

Well, listen, just going over there and so forth. I know it's not a proven technique, but they're going to try it on you and see.

[Bill Winston]

Thank God for that. But it's according to your faith.

[Guest Speaker]

My faith is going to be in a transfer. I said in a transfer.

[Bill Winston]

He's going to transfer. Come on. Now. Some of y' all listen.

[Guest Speaker]

You.

[Bill Winston]

You listen. Some of the cartilage has rubbed off of your knee. Come on. Some of the ligament has gone bad in it. Why? Because of age. But guess what, Lord, help me. I don't care how old you are. God's about to make it so you leave here long and strong.

[Guest Speaker]

Now.

[Bill Winston]

Right now. I speak cartilage in that knee. In the name of Jesus, come on. I'm talking to my car now. I'm talking to your knee. I speak cartilage in that knee. I speak cartilage in that shoulder. I speak cartilage in that bone structure. I command new ligaments come into. Oh, Lord, come on now. Come on now. You just think about this. You just think about this. I'm asking you, is there anything too hard for the Lord? There is nothing too hard for God. If we know that God does it and he needs our authority to speak, speak it, then we need to go to saying something. Let the redeemed of the Lord. Saint.

[Host/Interviewer]

Well, praise the Lord. I trust that you enjoyed that teaching. Now living from faith to faith. Now, I remember one time there was a lady and she wanted some barbecue here in Chicago. And she went to the barbecue place, got a barbecue, but she looked in the bag. After, she walked a few paces and saw the bread wasn't there. And she came back, hollered in the window and said, hey, does bread come with this? Now that's interesting because people get saved, but they don't get their bread. You follow what I'm saying? They get saved, but they don't get healed. They get saved, but they're still struggling financially. Something's wrong with that. Bread comes with this. This man named Niam and Naaman, he was a leper and he went to the man of God. Man of God said, go dip in the river there seven times. At first he didn't do it, but he finally decided, let me do this. Let me obey this man of God. He obeyed him, came up, body was cleansed of leprosy. I mean, he didn't have any spot on him. Bread comes with this. People were getting healed in this service. Get that tape. Praise God. You can get some bread with your salvation. Praise God. Well, this is Bill Winston saying we love you and keep walking by faith.

[Host/Interviewer]

Hello, this is Bill Winston. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever received Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior? Now you think, oh, wait now. When I was a kid, I went to church with mom and dad. True enough. But when I got older, I found church was not in me. He. I had never personally received him as my Lord and Savior. Now one night I did, and when I did, everything changed. I'm saying, if you're ready for a change in your life, I want you to receive Jesus. Just ask him this Jesus, come into my heart. And when you do that, a miracle will take place, guaranteed. I want to send you my book. It's called Born Again in Spirit Filled. It'll tell you what the next steps are. As a new believer, I want to be the first to say, welcome to the family of God. God bless you.

[Bill Winston]

Because of the force of righteousness that's going to come through you, faith will rise unconsciously. But could you see yourself? Right? You'll see yourself. The righteous see themselves as royalty. They see themselves as kings. They see themselves as owners. They see them. You got the same nature of God. God sees himself a king. He sees himself a ruler. He sees himself never, never, never turning away from anything. That's the way you gonna start acting.
