Title: Raise Your Expectations - Living From Faith to Faith
Host: Bill Winston (Bill Winston Ministries)
Date: October 4, 2025

This episode inspires listeners to broaden their expectations of what a life of faith can accomplish. Bill Winston and a guest speaker delve into the biblical principles of faith, supernatural provision, and reclaiming every benefit that comes with redemption in Christ. Using the Exodus account, personal stories, and practical teaching, the discussion challenges believers to stop limiting God and to claim all that has been promised—spiritual, physical, and material—by living boldly from "faith to faith."

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)
