Overview

This episode features Pastor Bill Winston delivering a dynamic message at the Dufresne Ministries Campmeeting 2026. Centered on the theme "The Problem Is With The Receiver," Pastor Winston explores the foundational truth that God has already provided every blessing, healing, and solution for believers—but the challenge lies in their ability to receive. Using scripture, personal stories, and practical illustrations, Winston encourages listeners to shift from a mentality of striving and working to one of faith-filled receiving, unlocking the full inheritance of the Kingdom of God.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Receiver, Not the Giver, Is the Issue (00:09–07:50)

• Main Thesis: The shortcomings in experiencing God’s blessings are not on God’s end; God (the Giver) has already given. The challenge is with the Receiver.
  • “The problem has been the receiver, not been with the giver. It's been with the receiver. And we have to receive what he has for us.” (05:09)
• Illustration of Jesus’ Accomplished Work: Jesus “took it all back” from the devil, providing redemption in full.
• Call to Receive, Not Work: Salvation and every blessing are gifts from God, received by faith, not by effort.
  • “By grace are you saved…through faith. That means you can't work for it. If you work for it, he can't give it to you. It's got to be by grace, through faith.” (07:23)

2. Biblical Foundations: Identity and Purpose (08:12–16:19)

• Scriptures Read: Ephesians 2:8–9, Joshua 1:8, Psalm 139:13–16, Jeremiah 29:11, Daniel 3:17
  • Affirmation of God's forethought and personal investment in each individual’s creation and destiny.
  • “He made you for something. You are fearfully and wonderfully made… When he made you, he broke the mold.” (12:36)
• Encouragement against Doubt and Fear:
  • “He will deliver you…get used to saying that when everything looks bad, ‘he will deliver me.’” (16:19)
• Chosen and Uniquely Qualified:
  • “You were picked out to be a billionaire. Now, see, y’all got kind of quiet when I said that, you can’t handle that, can you?” (19:29)

3. Receiving as a King, Not a Beggar (22:15–26:12)

• Illustration with Kingly Gifts: God gives as a king gives—extravagantly and without bargaining.
  • Story of learning how kings (and God) give lavish gifts, far beyond ordinary expectations.
• Personal Testimony: Letting go of luxury items out of misplaced religious guilt, realizing later that God's blessings—whether material or otherwise—are not to be refused or “paid for” through self-imposed lack.
  • “I’m just letting you know now. See, it’s been paid for. You don’t have to pay for it again. We’re trying to pay for it again.” (26:13)

4. Grace Versus Works: Entering God’s Rest (27:53–34:07)

• Scriptures: Joshua 6:1–2, Hebrews 4:1–3, Psalm 22:1, John 8:8–11
• Key Teaching: All of God’s work (“the works were finished from the foundation of the world”) is already completed. We must cease striving, stop “working for it,” and believe and receive it by grace.
  • "Never forget it. It's by grace and grace alone. I was working for it. You can't work for it." (29:07)

5. Seeds, Trees, and Deeds: The Path to Transformation (34:58–38:34)

• Principle: Change begins with the planting of new thoughts (“seeds”), which grow into new habits (“trees”), producing different actions (“deeds”).
  • “Every one of us has trees or have trees… Somebody has sown a seed that's grown up to a tree and now is manifesting deeds. So seeds, trees and deeds.” (34:58)

6. The Role of Angels and the Supernatural (53:26–58:04)

• Angelic Ministry & Faith: Angels are ministering spirits, sent to serve the heirs of salvation (believers). Accessing angelic assistance is part of not neglecting “so great a salvation.”
  • “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” (57:05)
• Modern Application versus Old Paradigms: Spiritual principles such as the laying on of hands, angelic help, and supernatural provision are not outdated but essential.

7. From Job to Assignment: Kingdom Mindset (31:40–38:34)

• Shift in Perspective: Once in the Kingdom, believers shift from seeing what they do as a “job” to seeing it as an “assignment.” With assignment comes divine backing and provision.
  • “It's no longer a job, it's an assignment. And who goes to warfare at his own expense?” (31:40)

8. Faith Is Ownership: The Assurance of Things Hoped For (63:26–65:16)

• Scripture: Hebrews 11:1 (Amplified) - “Faith is the assurance…the confirmation, the title deed…”
  • “When you’ve got faith, you’ve got ownership. And God transfers it over to your hand.” (64:15)
• Kingdom Within & Unlimited Potential: The kingdom of God is inside the believer—and it contains all solutions and provision, independent of the world’s systems.
  • “This kingdom has all you need…to meet every need you've got, independent of the world around you.” (66:11)

9. Activation and Practical Call (67:20–End)

• You Can Change the Economy of Your City: The kingdom inside can overflow to transform communities.
  • “You can change the economy of your city.” (67:20)
• Encouragement and Anticipation: This teaching continues with business principles in the upcoming sessions, emphasizing the practicality and universality of kingdom principles.
• Closing Declaration: Listeners are led in a confession declaring their faith, receptivity, and the ongoing work of God’s kingdom in their lives.
  • “I believe that the kingdom is in me and it rules overall. So now I'm going to let the kingdom come out.” (71:57)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Jesus went to hell then came up out of there and stripped the devil and left him streaking. He took it all back.” (01:00)
• “If you work for it, he can’t give it to you.” (07:32)
• “You are fearfully and wonderfully made. When he made you, he broke the mold.” (12:36)
• “You were picked out to be a billionaire… You are king, and God gives gifts as a king would give them.” (19:29, 23:04)
• “We must accept his grace and not works.” (31:43)
• “Everything God’s going to do for you, He’s already done.” (32:40)
• “So sometime we're trying to get God to give it to us outside of the rules, to get it right…trying to make God violate his word.” (38:52)
• “This kingdom has ability to supply every need you’ve got, independent of the world around you.” (66:11)

Final Thoughts

Bill Winston’s message is an empowering call for believers to step into the fullness of what God has already accomplished and provided—not by striving, but by receiving in faith.

The episode ends with anticipation for practical, kingdom-centered business principles in the next session.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Father, we thank you for this wonderful church. Your hand is on this church, Lord. We give you thanks and praise, Lord, as I bring this message today. Let this word come forth unchecked and unhindered by any outside force that signs, wonders and miracles shall follow the word preach. We thank you for it and we give you the praise in Jesus name. Let everybody say amen. Take your seats, please. Praise God. Thank you for having me back. You know what I'd do if I wasn't saved? If I wasn't saved, do you know what I'd do? I'd get saved. You know where I'd get saved? Right here in this church. This is wonderful. Every time I come here, this anointing is so strong here. You have no idea. It really is. I was looking for a joke to tell, but I can't think of it. Things have been going good and I've been learning a lot about the Lord just from being. In the place where I'm receiving my healing in Jesus name. But I'm going to give you what I've got. And I'm on tomorrow morning, right? Yes, tomorrow morning and tomorrow night. So I've broken it up into pieces. So we'll see what it is. Hallelujah. All right. Patricia is going to help me. And now we're going to go with the one that we had prepared for this church. Okay? Take it all back. Take it all back. Take it all back. I mean, take it all back. Don't leave me with nothing. Take it all back. Take it all back. It's very, very important that you take it all back. Jesus went to hell then came up out of there and stripped the devil and left him streaking. He took it all back. Okay, well, I'm kind of breaking it up now. We're going to talk about first we'll talk about an introduction and then we'll get into some things. But I really want to share with you some truths that perhaps some of you didn't know. And I think it's going to help you tremendously. Jesus gift to the world was his son. He was his gift. Say I receive. Say I receive. The problem has been the receiver, not been with the giver. It's been with the receiver. And we have to receive what he has for us. And he was God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Somebody from this section right over here. Come on up and read for me. Come on up and read. Who? You know, I do that every time I come, so it's no surprise. Ooh. All right. Come on. Uh huh.

[Reader/Assistant]

Okay.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Now, I pay for my readers, you know. Here it is right here. $100. Okay, Read. No, I don't want you to read yet.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Second John 3, 16.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Second. Okay. All the redemptive work is done.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Yeah. Just receive it by faith.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Yes, Receive it by faith and give thanks. All right.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Ephesians 2:8.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Now look at Ephesians 2, 8, 9. And this is the Greek scripture, but I want you to see this. Ephesians 2, 8, 9. Okay, go ahead. All right, now them young kids, when I have them up here, they just spin that thing right down, okay?

[Reader/Assistant]

For it is by free grace, God's unmerited favor, that you are saved, delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation through your faith. And this salvation is not of yourselves, of your own doing. It came not through your own.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Just. Just a minute. I don't mean to interrupt you. Ephesians 2, 8 and 9. King James. Where are you reading from? From the Passion. Amplified, amplified. Okay, It's on the board. Yeah, that'll solve it right there.

[Reader/Assistant]

Yes, sir. For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Okay. By grace are you saved. What? Through faith? Say, I'm saved through faith.

[Reader/Assistant]

I'm saved through faith.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

That means you can't work for it. And watch, if you work for it, he can't give it to you. It's got to be by grace, through Faith. Illustration.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Joshua 1:8.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Look at Joshua. He's going to take Jericho. Now, what God told him to do is meditate his word. That's Joshua 1:8. It's on the board. I think we're going to put it on the board quickly. Praise God. We got to get past his. They're doing preliminary. All right, let's go.

[Reader/Assistant]

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night. Yes, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Come on.

[Reader/Assistant]

For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and thou shalt have good success.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

All right, I want everybody to read that. But when you read it, wherever it says you or your. Or whatever, put your name in there. Okay? Ready? Read. Now, who's going to make your way prosperous. I am not God. He's already done it. And when did he do it? He did it before the foundation of the world. He made you prosperous before the foundation of the world. Now, that's something, because to ask God for it. Wrong, because he did it and gave it to you before the foundation of the world. Matter of fact, it says Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world. So all was done before what? The foundation of the world. So you don't have to beg him for money. You don't have to beg him for healing. You don't have to beg him for a wife. Amen. Excuse me. A husband. No. He's done it all. Say he's done it all. Now, this is good to know. Yes, sir, this is good to know. Because you find out he's done it all. Let me give you a scripture.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Yeah.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Look at Psalm 139, verse 13 through 16. And. NIV. NLT. In the NLT. I'm sorry. NIV. NLT. All right. She's going to put another. He's going to put it on the board. Ready? Read.

[Reader/Assistant]

You made all the delicate inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Now, wait a minute. Knit me together Where?

[Reader/Assistant]

In my mother's womb.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

My mother's womb. So when I was in the womb, God knit me together. Keep reading. Now, read in your best voice so we can all understand it.

[Reader/Assistant]

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex. Your workmanship is marvelous. How well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Now, now, wait a minute. Now, all this happened before. Yeah. Yeah. You come into. You came into the world. That's right. Amen. I want you to read that again. You what? You watch. Read that again. Next. The verse before. Verse before.

[Reader/Assistant]

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex. Your workmanship is marvelous. How well I know it.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Okay, keep going.

[Reader/Assistant]

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

My goodness. Keep going.

[Reader/Assistant]

You saw me before I was born. Every day.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Wait a minute now. Hold it. God saw you before. Come on, come on. You were born. See, to say that you're getting into a place and you don't doubt. You don't know whether you're going to make it. Oh, I sure hope I make it. Wait a minute. All you got to do is read this verse. See, God sees the end. From the beginning, he knew You.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Yeah.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

He knew how you're going to turn out. Watch this. And he had planned your life before you came. It doesn't say something like that in Jeremiah. Jeremiah, chapter what, 29 in verse. What's the verse about the plan of God? Come on, come on, come on. 11. This. Flip right quick to Jeremiah 11. And look at that. Now, I'm saying, when you get discouraged, just read that Psalm 139. Read it out of as many translations as you can get, because each time it's going to encourage you. See, he. He didn't make you for nothing. He made you for something. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. And watch this. When he made you, he broke the mold. He said, I'm gonna just make one of these. Say I'm one of a kind. One of a kind. Yeah. There's nothing. Nobody like you. Look at your fingerprints all the way back to Adam. Nobody's got them. Nobody's got them all the way back to Adam. They can pick you out. You were chosen. Hey, this. This stuff is good, folks. All right. Read that one now. What? What did I ask you? Which one? Jeremiah 29. 11. Read that.

[Reader/Assistant]

For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Come on, you got to read up now. Come on.

[Reader/Assistant]

For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

All right.

[Reader/Assistant]

Thoughts of peace and not of evil. To give you an expected end.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

To give you an expected end. Now, let's go and read that through the NLT and see what it says through the new living translation. See what it says.

[Reader/Assistant]

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster. To give you a future and a

[Pastor Bill Winston]

hope when you're in the worst situation. Yes, read that. I know the plans, see? And that will give you faith

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

to

[Pastor Bill Winston]

take the way out. That's right. You got to get it. You got this. You are going to make it to the end. Now, I'm talking to somebody over here. You gonna make it to the end. No, you won't have an accident. Now, you got to say the right thing. Because when the three Hebrews were faced with that fiery furnace. Put it up there. That's Daniel, chapter three and verse 17. Daniel 3. 17. All right. It says, this is when the king threatened to throw him in the fiery furnace. Read.

[Reader/Assistant]

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 the hand, O King.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

He what? He will deliver us. So you're in a tight situation with money, he will deliver you. Tight situation with somebody. He will deliver you. I said, he will deliver. You got to get used to saying that when everything looks bad, he will deliver me. Now, they didn't know how, but they knew what he was going to do. Now, you can say the right words or you can say the wrong words. Well, I don't know if he going to deliver. Boop, boop. Shouldn't have said that. Say what God said. I'm telling you. That's why I read Psalm 103 and Psalm 91 every morning. 91 especially. Cause you know, I'll be in some tight places sometimes. I mean, real tight. I mean, I could smell the fire. But I know he's gonna deliver me. I don't know how. I don't know whether he's coming by air, by sea or by land, but I know this one thing. He's gonna show up. Somebody needed this tonight. Come on. He's gonna show up. I've been in some tight places where, you know, like, the money is due, and you got to say, he's gonna show up. The lawyer asked me one time. He said, where is the money, Pastor? I said, well, praise God. I said, I believe I've received. Believe you received? What is that? I said, that's the best I can do for you right now. But it came in on time because he knows the plans he has for me. Plans for good and not evil. To give me is expected in. Why? Because he mold me in my mother's womb. He put me in there. That's something. God knows what he's doing. That's why I say he picked you out.

[Reader/Assistant]

Yes, sir.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

You are chosen. Yes, that's what the Bible says. It means picked out. Right. Of a group. I told you when I was in high school with all, you know, elders and Joe, and we thought we all cute. And so, you know, young lady, we had a dance or something. We were standing up together talking, and I just noticed this person, lady looking at me. She kept. Lady, she kept looking at me. And I looked out peripheral of my eye right there. I saw, you know, I didn't let her on because you got to be cool where I come from. And I said, all right. I looked at her again. Something said, okay, step back from the crowd. Just take three or four paces back. And I took three or four paces back. And then to see if she was looking at me. And she watched me. I was in a crosshairs. She watched me all the way back. And then I came back up to Jordan Eldridge. I said, look here, boys, I don't know how much longer I'm gonna be with you. Look like I been chose. Picked out of a group. You were picked out to be a billionaire. Now, see, y' all got kind of quiet when I said, you can't handle that, can you? Yes, sir. You remember something? That you are king, and God gives gifts as a king would give them. I one time and went down to preach down south, and it just so happened that a Gulf Stream plant was down there. And the Gulf Stream is a jet, a corporate jet, and it's one of the top corporate jets. I went down there and I was preaching. I finished preaching, and the guy said, how would you like the tour of a Gulf seeing plant tomorrow? I said, hey, that sounds great. Well, I went to the plant, man, showed us all around. I saw all these corporate jets and showing how they make them and so forth and so on. And I got to the end, he said, you got any questions? I said, yes, sir. Who buys these?

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Who?

[Pastor Bill Winston]

I mean, your biggest clients. He said, oh, they. It's Saudis and all that over in the Middle East.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Yeah.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

I said, what? He said, yeah, they buy two, three, four of them at a time. I said, what? He said, oh, yeah, we go into them, put. Have to put, you know, elephant tusk in there and ivory and so forth. Whoa. I said, well, why do they buy that many? He said, well, give them away as gifts. You remember when Trump went there and they gave him $400 million worth of jet? Yes, sir. I'm not getting political now. I'm just saying that's what they know to do, because they give as a king gives.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Come on.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

A king. He doesn't give you a shirt. I'm helping you. I know I'm helping somebody now. Really think he gives you. I mean, if he gives you a suit, he gives you a Brioni. He even. They got brioni suits for $50,000. Come on, folk, come on with me. Let's talk about some big stuff. This life that we're living here, this was special. And God says, you're a king, you're a queen, and he's going to dress you. Look at Jesus. They took his robe off of him. And let me ask you something. Did they rip it apart? What did they do? They gambled for it. Because they were not going to tear that robe in pieces. Why? It's the finest. Jesus was dressed. Now, I'm sorry, but he told me, when I get there, I'll Have a mansion now. That's what he told me. And he told me to preach heaven on earth. So I'm believing right here. You can have one. Come on, man. Some of God's children have a problem receiving. That's unfortunate. They have a problem receiving. I know when I first got saved. I don't tell many people this, but I'm going to tell you because I like you. I like you.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

He.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

I got saved and I was driving Corvettes. Then something told me after I got saved that that car is too much of a luxury, sports attracting women kind of car. And I said, I said, okay, I'm selling. I not only sold it, I drove out of my garage in the Corvette, drove back in the garage in a rusted out Nova and watch this. The parking attendant says, hey, Mr. Winston, what happened? I said, I got saved in that time

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

in.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

I'm just letting you know now. See, it's been paid for. You don't have to pay for it again. We're trying to pay for it again. I moved out of a luxury three bedroom apartment and now a condo overlooking the lake on the near north side. That's luxury. I moved out of there and went to a one bedroom small apartment in land. Couldn't see no lake. No, I'm trying to pay for it. I forgot. By grace. It's by grace. I'm going to talk about this now because I came here that if there's anything blocking you, we're going to get it out of the way. Now, where were we? Jeremiah. All right, so basically what Joshua did is Joshua 1:8. God taught him that. And then look at Joshua 6:1 and 2. All right, 6:1 and 2. All Right, read.

[Reader/Assistant]

Now, Jericho was straightly shut up because of the children of Israel. None went out and none came in. And the Lord said unto Joshua, see, I have given into thine hand, Jericho.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Wait a minute, wait. Say that again. See what?

[Reader/Assistant]

See, I have given into thine hand, Jericho.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

I have what?

[Reader/Assistant]

I have given into thine hand, Jericho.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Say given.

[Reader/Assistant]

Given.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Say it so they can hear it. I have given.

[Reader/Assistant]

I have given.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

I'm not selling you, Jericho.

[Reader/Assistant]

Amen.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

I'm giving it to you.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Amen.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

I, I. When I first went into the ministry, I went back to my old bishop and told him I got saved and everything. And I started fasting. And I fasted one week and nothing happened. I fasted another week and nothing happened. I fasted another week and nothing happened. I came and he saw me,

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

I

[Pastor Bill Winston]

had lost so much weight. He said, bill, watch this. It's by grace and grace alone. Never forget it. Tao's trying to make God do something. How are you gonna make God do something. By grace and grace alone? I was working for it. You can't work for it. That's right. You can't wear dresses long enough. No. So many people. You can't receive like that. Oh, yeah. And then next thing you know, you just give in and you give in and thank God for giving. But when are you going to receive? When you gonna let God give to you? So I have to just. I had to get things straight. I had to figure. Figure it all out. It took me a while, but I finally figured it out. I started working for it. Working for. Working for. Getting into a receiving mode and saying, wait a minute, this thing is not hard. And I'm making it hard. So I just kind of let God start working with me. And the first place I was, he assigned me to was Lincoln Pulaski. So I had to find out that once you come into the kingdom, it's no longer a job, it's an assignment. And who goes to warfare at his own expense? No, no, no. Some things happen when you get saved, when you come into the kingdom. The third one.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

We must accept his grace. Not works.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

We must accept his grace and not works. Let's look at Hebrews, Hebrews chapter four and one through three. Hebrews, chapter four and one through three. Ready?

[Reader/Assistant]

Let us therefore fear, lest the promise being left us, of entering into his rest. Any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached as well as unto them. But the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said. As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest. Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

The works were what? Finished. Everything God's going to do for you, he's already done. Think about that towards. Almost like I need to get another view of God. Jesus was the lamb slain for us before the foundation of the world. Look at Psalms chapter 22 and verse 1. It's already done. Jesus was walking it out. It's already done.

[Reader/Assistant]

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Why has thou forsaken me? Look at that. David breathed that into the atmosphere before Jesus ever came on the earth. Well, how did he know that? Because everything is already done. Now over in. Go and sin no more.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

John 8, 11.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

John 8. And let's start at verse 8. All right, John. 8. 8. Go.

[Reader/Assistant]

And again he stood down. Excuse me. And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even into the last. And Jesus was left alone. And the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself and saw no one but the woman, he said unto her, woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? She said, no man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, neither do I condemn thee. Go and sin no more.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Whoa, that's a heavy load. Go and what? Sin no more. How can I walk without sin? I mean, I miss God even sometimes. Today I don't intend to, but I got to go and sin no more. Wow. Now, what does he mean by that? Every one of us has trees or have trees. And the trees come through seeds. So somebody has sown a seed that's grown up to a tree and now is manifesting deeds. So seeds, trees and deeds. Now, these are seeds in this little package. I used to have some to shake my corn seeds. But these are in there. Look how small they are. And this is the way things start. Everything starts as a seed. So somebody sowed a seed, and then that seed, let's say it's Go and sin no more. Well, before this seed was sown, all the things I had inside was. Everybody sins sometime, but Go and sin no more was sown as a seed. And then it grows up inside of me. And another tree called sin no more. Come on, help me. Now, y' all know where I'm going. And pretty soon my deeds are sinning no more. And watch this. It's not a struggle. It's the way I think. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is it. You've done a fine job. Thank you. Amen. Praise. Hello. All right, over this side. Let me get somebody. All right, come on up now. All right, all right. More. These young folk. I like to see this. Now he's got his five pound Bible and he's ready to go. All right. Okay. Let me see where I am here. All right, on that one also.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Fifteen.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Okay, Luke 15. Now, again, it's grace instead of works, okay? You can't work anything from God. The problem is with the receiver. You can't work and get it from God. It won't work. People cry and so forth. No, it still won't work. I remember when I went to God one night we were in Minnesota, and it was Saturday night. We had started a Little church in Minnesota, in Minneapolis. And I went to God. It was getting late Saturday night. I had to try to get a message for Sunday morning. I said, God, this is your boy. You know, me and you. God bless you. But I actually made tears come. God said, and I heard this, what are you doing? I said, well, I'm trying to get a word. He said, that's not the way you come to me. How do you come to me? Come boldly before the throne of grace. You could obtain grace and find ministry to help in time of need. Come boldly. Act like you got some backbone. Come on. So sometime we're trying to get God to give it to us outside of the rules, to get it right. That's good. Yeah, they're trying to do that. Trying to make God violate his word. And he's done. So I straightened up real quick. I said, well, I'm in the name of Jesus, go. That word just poom. Came through just like that. I said, wow. I went to one time over there in Minneapolis to say. He called and said to my little daughter, she got hurt and she's in the hospital. Could you come quickly and so forth. I said, yeah, I'm finished eating my dinner first, and then I'll be on over there. So I finished eating my dinner, you know, didn't really taste none of it, and I finished eating it. But I went over there and she met me in the hallway. Oh, Pastor, she did it. So I went in the room and I didn't let myself be overcome by what I saw because her daughter had turned blue and tubes were running everywhere. I said, listen for God. He said, come, you stand on one side of her bed, and the mother stand on the other side and put your hands on a side of the temple. And the mother do the same thing. And he said, then call out healing in her body. I did that and I said, okay. I prayed and I went on home. Three days later. She said, pastor, you need to see what happened. I said, what happened? She said, she came off of all those tubes. Her color came back in her. She's sitting up talking, saying totally different. Sometimes we think God's way was for the olden days. See, that's what we want. Except laying on of hand. We think it's primitive.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Yes, we do.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Some of us do. Oh, that passed away. No, it didn't. That can get four siege out of your body. That can get. Come on. Whatever you got laying on of hands can get, it can take you right out of that situation. Now. You got to believe but it will do it. Yes, it will.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That's right.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Some of these medications. Well, you take these medications and, you know, they say it before you take it, take five of these a day until you're dead. You know, this is.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

I mean,

[Pastor Bill Winston]

I'm not talking against medication, but you follow what I'm saying? Yeah. So we don't. We are believers. Say I'm a believer. Say I believe the word of God, all of it, in Jesus name. Amen. So you just supply the believing and he supplies the power. That's right. Isn't that good? All right, let's look here at the first number one section. Jesus. All right, let's start with Adam. Adam. Adam, as you know, he. He had it. He had it going on. Now you look at Genesis, chapter two, verse 19, and we'll read that one first. Genesis 2:19. You're not using your computer, are you? Yeah, on the board. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

[Reader/Assistant]

It's on. It's on.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

And out of there ground. The Lord God formed every beast of the field and every foul of the air and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. And whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Whatsoever Adam called them what?

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Every living creature?

[Pastor Bill Winston]

No, no, what's who. Adam. What's. Whoever. Adam called him. What?

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Every living creature, that was the name thereof.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Yeah, you got. Come on, coming out with it. Come on, black and tough, let's go with it.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Every living creature, that was the name thereof.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

That's right. All right. You gotta be. Gotta be some gangster in this thing. Okay, all right, now, okay. So I mean, whatever Adam called them, that was the name thereof. And God said. That's just right. That's good. Now where did Adam get the name trump God? You are not made for original thoughts. You're not made for it. So that's why somebody can ask you a question and it's not in there. I don't care how much you strain, it's not in there. So I'm just saying to you now that you are not made for it. So you've got to have overlord. And Satan knew that when he got Eve and Adam to sin, they switched overlords. Now here's the devil, he's talking to him and he can deceive him. Look at First John, chapter 5. And look at verse 19. First John, chapter 5, verse 19 on the board.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

And we know that we are of God. And the whole world lieth in wickedness. Lieth in wickedness.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Lieth in what wickedness? Whole world is under the control of the evil one. The whole what? World? Not you world. Look at Revelation, chapter 12 and verse 9. He's going to put it on the board for you. Revelation, chapter 12 and verse 9. There it is.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world. And he cast out the. Into the. Into the earth. And his angels were cast out with him.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Now I'm gonna ask you to read that one more time. Drink this water.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

What part of the world did he not deceive?

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

He deceived all the world.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Whole world. He is a deceiver. There's some people in the last days, you know, they thought they knew Jesus, you know, because they knew of him. But they're going to find out. They've been what? Deceived. He's deceived. Deceiver. And he's good at it. So this Adam, once he sinned, he lost God as his overlord and he took on Satan. And so he fell and fell from the super to the natural. And everything he thought was a natural thought. And it was usually sponsored the devil. Now, Satan was using the same principles by which God works. Look at Genesis, chapter 11. 11 and start at verse one. Luke, chapter 11, verse one. Amen. Trying to make you a little lunch. My name. All right, read.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar. And they dwelt there. And they said one to another, go to. Let us make back and burn them through thoroughly. And they had brick for stone and slime had they for border. And they said, go to, let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven. And let us make us a name, lest us be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

So I'm going to make myself a name. Keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which was the children of men builded. And the Lord said, behold, the people is one. And they have all one language.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Look at that. They were one. They were one. Keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

And this they begin to do. And now nothing will be restrained from

[Pastor Bill Winston]

them which they have.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Which they have imagined to do the words they have. What imagined.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

So Satan uses their imagination. So that's why it's talking about casting down. What Imagination, Imagination. Satan will use it and some people's imagination is strong. He uses those who practice witchcraft, sorcery, spells. He uses their imagination. And you can get that imagination so strong, it'll make you feel like you're in it. When. How are we have a supermarket now? We opened and it was. It's huge. And we're trying to get people to come. And they were using social media. Well, the devil knows that system. So he'll try to stand in the doorway supernaturally with demons to block the way. So people wouldn't, you know, come to our business, wouldn't patronize our business. So God showed me how to do that. Now he showed me a scripture and it's found in Luke 11:1. Luke 11:1, okay.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

And it came to pass that as he was praying in the c. In a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Isn't that something? Lord, teach us to pray as John taught his disciples. So they saw something in prayer. Then I said, lord, what did they see? He said, go back to Matthew chapter 3 and start at verse 3 and read through verse 5. Now what they see in John's prayer because he prayed some people in from some places that came to his meetings. He didn't have social media flyers or anything. Now look how what it says about John.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Watch for this is he that was spoken of the. The prophet Isaias saying the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his path straight.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

And the same John and had his parable of camel's hair and the leathern girdle about his loins. And he and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all of the region around about Jordan.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Yes. Wait a minute. Read that one again.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Then went out him to Jerusalem and all Judah and all the region around about Jordan.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Now in your best voice, this.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Then went out him to him, Jerusalem and all of Judea and all of the region about Jordan.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Now Jerusalem, Judea and all the regions roundabout people are coming to John to be baptized. Now if you don't think that's something, you get in the wilderness and try to see if people come to your church. Yes, sir. He said angels were here before social media ever was heard. See, I'm telling you a lot of places we've switched and we've gone over to the influences of this world instead of staying with God, Don prayed angels went out. How do I know that? Go To Hebrews. Hebrews, chapter one, verse 13 and 14. Hebrews, chapter one. Am I taking too long with this? 13 and 14.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

But to which of the angels said he at any time sit on the right hand until I make thine enemies. Thy footsteps, stool. Are they not all ministering spirits?

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Are they not all ministering spirits? Who's he talking about?

[Reader/Assistant]

Keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Who? Heirs of salvation. All right, next. Next chapter in verse one through three. Keep going. One through three. Next chapter, chapter two, verse one through three.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Let them what? Slip? Keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

How shall we escape?

[Pastor Bill Winston]

How shall we what?

[Reader/Assistant]

Escape.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

How shall we escape if we. What? Neglect? Neglect. Keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

If we neglect so great salvation.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Okay, wait a minute. How should we escape? How should we escape of business failure if we neglect angels? See, I'm saying somehow we've come to this place where a lot of people are saying, I don't need God's help. And he's not pleased with that. So what we got to do is we got to come back home and see when God. When you come back home, he doesn't have you to come back home and work for it. There's nowhere in scripture it says that you should work for paying for your house. See, I lost y' all then. No, you listen. So for it. Do it God's way. Yes, sir. Now, I know y' all gotta look at them. Y' all look at them. Lord have mercy. Jesus, everything. Look at Peter. Peter was fishing, caught nothing. Goo saying, Jesus said, can I use your boat? Jesus got in his boat, pushed out a little. He sat down and taught, just like I'm doing right now. Then after he finished teaching, he said to Peter, launch out into the deep. And I have an original translation. And you. And let down your net and you'll catch a lot of fish. See? Spoken word. Peter said, wait a minute. We have fished all night and taken nothing. Nevertheless, come on. At thy words, we'll launch out. Peter got a rhema of what Jesus was teaching. He got a rhema of sowing and reaping as God's way. If God's people just get on that system, they will get a revelation of God like they never have before. I'm telling you. And if it Was easy. Everybody would be doing it. But if you can get a rhema, it's easy. God had been after me about leaving IBM and I couldn't leave that paycheck and that it was just so good. And I said, I just can't leave this. But one day, Jerry Savelle, he preached on seed, time and harvest. And he majored on Mark, chapter 10. And it said, no man that is left house, a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a lamb for my sake in the gospel, but it shall receive what a hundredfold. Now in this time lands hub, so forth. And in the world to come, eternal life. I got that and meditated it. I went from this knowledge to Revelation. And when I got Revelation, I said, uh huh. So I'm not leaving IBM, I'm sowing it. And I called my wife, said, baby, I'm leaving this company. She said, well, praise the Lord. I'll tell you. Got it at that revelation, they watch this, they didn't. God wouldn't let me ask for severance. He said, let no man say he made Bill Winston rich, but almighty. Come on now. When you got a rhema, you can go. When you can't go, you can't see. I'm gonna say that again. When you can't go, it's because you can't see. You only go where you see.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

See?

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Coming over to this side. You only go where you see, Joshua. See, I have given into your hand, Jericho. I ain't charging you for it. Joshua, I want you to get one thing, ownership. Put it up there. Hebrews, chapter one and chapter eleven, verse one in the Amplified, please. Hebrews, chapter eleven, verse one in the Amplified.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Now, faith is the assurance as a what? The assurance.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Okay, keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

The confirmation.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

What?

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

The confirmation.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

And what else?

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

The title.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

That's ownership. That's ownership. So when you got faith, you got ownership. And God transfers it over your hand. Now give the Lord a shout. This is what it's all about. So this whole idea about Jesus coming, he was full of grace and truth and he came in to first bring the kingdom and show the people how the kingdom works, see how it works. And he says, not far off. Luke, chapter 17 and verse 20 and 21. And I'm not going to be long, I'm just about to close. 20 and 21. Luke, chapter 17, verse 20.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

When is the kingdom of God coming? Jesus. Keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

He answered them and said, the kingdom of God cometh not with observation Not.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Not with what?

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Observation.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Not with authorization. Put the other scripture up there, please. King James. Is that the King James. Okay. It comes not with observation. You said observation. I thought you said authorization. Okay, okay. Observation. But keep going, keep going, keep going.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Neither shall they say low here or lo, there. For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

In you. Now check it out. This kingdom has all you need in terms of solutions and supplies to meet every need you've got, independent of the world around you. I'm gonna try it again. This kingdom has ability to supply every need you've got, independent of the world around you. You don't need to beg nobody for anything. Cause I got the kingdom in me. Is this the right crowd? Undocumented. This is the kingdom crowd. Praise God. Yeah. Yeah. One of you got enough to feed a small city in you.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

In you. Yes.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

All kinds of stuff there. It's really that kingdom. Once you open up to that and see the revelation of that. Peter's boat got so full, didn't it? He had to call for his, what, partners. And he filled their boats up. Watch this. And I'm sure if he had more partners, he'd have filled what, their boats up. So he changed the economy of the coastline of that city. You can change the economy of your city. I'm gonna say that one more time. You can change the economy of your city. Let's give him a hand clap. He did a great. Now I want to go tomorrow. Tomorrow morning we have business school and I want to teach some. That's my alarm going off. I've set my alarm in my spirit. And you can do that and it can wake you up. You just tell it what time you want to get up in the morning and it'll wake you up.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Amen.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

I better say that again. But I'm saying your spirit is designed to lead you, to bring to you, create for you whatever you need, independent of the world. So it just. So we have to learn that we train our human spirit now. Tell you that. But the. What was I going to. Oh, tomorrow. And what we're going to do is maybe get some business principles too in here and show you how you can have a business that won't fail every time. And some things like that. Because these principles that I'm teaching are for everybody, no matter what field you're in. You can use these principles because the kingdom of God rules over everything. Amen. Amen. Let's see. There was something else I was going to tell you or say to you this. All right. And tomorrow night. I want to preach on the rains are coming. Not preach, seeds preach. But over in First Kings, chapter 18 and verse 41. I want you to put that up there and let's read that together. All right? First Kings 18:7. Ready? Read. There is a sound of the abundance of rain. Look at Joel in Joel, chapter two and look at verse 23. Ready? Oh, that's it. Ready, Read.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Be glad children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the former rain moderately and he will cause to come down through the rain. The former rain and the latter rain in the first month.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

The former rain is for gathering in of the church. It's for getting people saved. The latter rain is for beautification of the church. That includes the wealth transfer. So you're about to see the biggest wealth transfer. Oh Lord.

[Reader/Assistant]

Yes sir.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Yes sir.

[Bible Reader/Assistant]

Hallelujah.

[Pastor Bill Winston]

Stand to your feet. Repeat after me. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you. I've heard the Word tonight and I won't forget it. I'm asking you to let it live in my soul Spirit. I will not forget it. I believe that the kingdom is in me and it rules overall. So now I'm going to let the kingdom come out. I'm going to manifest whatever you tell me. I'm your garden. Just plant what you want and I'll bring it forth. Thank you Lord for a good time. In the Gospel, I give you praise in Jesus name. Now shout Amen.
