Key Discussion Points and Insights
1. Faith: The Holder of Destiny
- Bill Winston opens by emphasizing faith’s foundational role:
- “Faith is the holder. Come on. Of my destiny. Come on. I'm a walk by faith and not by sight…” (00:12)
- Without faith, Christians may not access all that rightfully belongs to them:
- “I'm saying without faith, you haven't received much of belongs to you. I don't care how you live it. If you haven't applied faith, most of what belongs to you is still not in your hands.” (00:36)
2. Possessing Promised Land: The Joshua Generation
- Winston references Joshua 1, paralleling Israel’s entry into the promised land to believers today stepping into their inheritance (01:41).
- He connects “Hittites” to modern-day fear and terror, dictating that in times of heightened fear, God’s people will rise as a counterforce (02:00–03:23).
- “So I believe you and I are this Joshua generation. We're going to be the people that's going in there and take back our stuff.” (03:20)
- Spiritual distinction: The world will recognize God’s blessing on believers through evident good works and supernatural favor (03:23–04:45).
3. Don’t Forget Your Benefits: Bread Comes With This
- Using a vivid story at a barbecue stand, Winston underscores not to leave behind spiritual benefits:
- The refrain: “Bread comes with this,” symbolizes all the inheritance—health, provision, peace—that belongs to believers alongside salvation (06:35, 08:41).
- Psalm 103:2 is highlighted: "Bless the Lord… and forget not all his benefits.” (07:03)
4. Faith Takes Hold Where Things Look Impossible
- Biblical example: Israel’s spies saw “giants” and declared it impossible, but faith says otherwise (08:01–08:27).
- “So your stuff is in the impossible. So wherever you see the impossible, that's where your stuff is at.” (08:26)
- Listeners are urged to pursue the impossible by faith, because that’s where God’s provision lies—especially in situations the world calls “hopeless.”
5. Protected by a Hedge: Job’s Example
- Job’s spiritual “hedge” (divine protection) extended to his life, family, and possessions—but fear compromised it (09:59–14:02).
- “There is a fence around it. Now, you got to understand this. This fence is up. Now, somehow this fence came down.” (12:45)
- Winston teaches that parents, like Job, can stand in the gap for their children and restore spiritual protection through faith (13:47).
6. Fear Versus Faith: Choosing Your Connection
- Fear aligns with death; faith with life. Job’s trouble came “for the thing which I greatly feared has come upon me” (14:02).
- Winston laments the loss of divine peace and calls believers to reclaim it—“I'm talking about that peace that passes all understanding… peace is in your house.” (15:17)
7. Decree, Speak, and Release: Authority in the Family
- Parents are described as “shooting arrows” (their children) into their destiny through faith-filled decrees (Psalm 127:3) (16:51–19:59).
- Story of E.V. Hill: His mother repeatedly declared, “My boy's going to school,” despite circumstances, resulting in supernatural provision for his education (19:43–22:53).
- This story illustrates the practical outworking of Job 22: “You can decree a thing, and it shall be established.” (20:01)
8. Supernatural Provision is Normal for Faith Walk
- Testimonies of food provided by angels and unexpected scholarships underline that “from now on, faith is going to be defining your future.” (21:10–23:12)
9. Living Distinctly by Faith
- Winston insists faith is what brings the believer’s inheritance into reality—even things seemingly impossible or unattainable:
- “If you haven't applied faith, most of what belongs to you is still not in your hands. So I'm telling you, you gonna get your stuff. Bread comes with this.” (23:12)
- The call: To live "from faith to faith" so that faith grows and the “impossible” is regularly overcome (24:00).
