Bill Winston - Act On Your Revelation
All right, Matthew chapter 14, verse 15. And when the evening was come, and when it was evening, the disciples came to him saying, this is a desert place and the time is now past. Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves victuals. But Jesus said unto them, they need not depart, give ye them to eat. And they said unto him, we have here but five loaves and two fishes. And he said, what? Bring them to me. Bring them to me. Now notice it could have been 20,000 people. Feed them. Man. That’s good. Feed them.
Now, they said we only had two fish. Have two fish and five loaves. Now, what are they going to do with that? What is he going to have them do with it? What what what procedure do you use? What law do you use to multiply things? The law of faith. But you have to sow, sow something to reap something. Am I right about it? You can’t reap where you have not sown. You got to sow something. And all you need is a what? Seed. And that’s what he had. They he he wanted to show them.
And you go in the Bible over and over again. He’s showing them where seed is all you need. And once you sow that seed in faith, nothing can. And I’m going to use a big word now that I heard Doctor Fred Price use abrogate it. That means nothing can stop its action. Not a thing. Because he uses that as a method to care for you. That job doesn’t have to pay you 20 billion. It can pay you $20 an hour, but you can still park in a space like the chairman. You can still. Come on. It doesn’t keep you from having a large house. It doesn’t keep you from this. Why? Because once you come into the kingdom, what man goes to war at his own expense? I’ve been in the military. They are not telling me, Bill, Now we’re sending you to Korat, Thailand. And you have to report for your duty station on July the 15th. And, oh, by the way, you’re going to have to buy your own jet.
So here I am at the house at night having a fundraiser. Could you all please come on over and we’re going to raise some money. I need to buy a jet, and I gotta buy my suit. And my. I need some new suitcases. No, no, no, they have everything. They take care of everything. Everything is all taken care of. All I have to do is I need some more is requisition a supply. I just go to supply house and go get it. It’s for me. Why? I’m on the front line carrying out kingdom business and God’s going to supply everything I need in abundance. I’m not talking about just enough trying to just build something and many times we’ve done that. We’ve tried to build God’s temple on our measly salary after we didn’t pay the phone bill and the TV bill and so forth. And now we give a little bit to the church. We buy that, well, let’s get the budget way down now. He’s too expensive. Let’s get.
Hey, that is not what I saw over in 2 Chronicles chapter 22. He said, Solomon, I’m going to have you to build a temple and it shall be exceeding magnificent. That means it’s going to be shown off good. And it’s going to be something that when the Queen of Sheba comes to see it, she’s going to say, oh, she’s going to faint. I’m telling you, God wants us to be distinguished in the world. He wants us to do something the world can’t do. Go somewhere the world can’t go. Be something the world can’t be. It’s our time now, folks, and we’ve been scaling it down. Why? Because we’ve been programed with a scarcity survival mentality. We will program with that in the world. And what happens is we come into the kingdom.
Now, once you’re in the kingdom, don’t just switch kingdoms, switch systems. That job is no longer your source. Your source and supply is Almighty God. Hallelujah! And he’s got stuff laid up for you that’s been laid up for you since the foundation. Glory to God. Of the world. Enormous supply. All you have to do is place a demand. So you’re living in a on demand system. Place a demand on it. You see, you don’t need to wait on me to come to town. The supply is in the word of God, man. What did I tell you? This is your day. This is your week. This is your time. Grab hold of something and say that belongs to me. And start meditating that Word. Destroy the lack image that the system has built inside of you and say, wait a minute. From this day I’ll never be broke another day in my life.
Folks, I saw where David said, what shall I do if I slay Goliath? They said, first thing you get is you get your taxes free. You’ll get no tax. I said, that’s enough for me right there. I stop right there, put a line under that. And then I watch over here in the New Testament, when Peter came in, Jesus said, Peter, what’s what’s up? He said, they asking us about paying taxes. He said, well, you know, here it is that the children pay tax if their their dad is a king. He said, but don’t let them be offended. I want you to go fishing. Go fishing. And the first fish that you pull up, look at his mouth and there’ll be some tax money. Get it and pay it for me and you. That’s two witnesses. That tells me.
Wait a minute. If the taxes was paid over here in first Samuel and the taxes were paid over here in Matthew 17. And God is no respecter of person, that he’s the same yesterday, today and forever. What we did is add up all the taxes that we have paid and I want my money back. Praise God! I want my money back. Can’t you see? Oh, yeah. I’m just saying. Yes, it it’s it’s it’s I do pay my taxes. But realize this. Wait a minute. He got the money out of the fish’s mouth. Come on now. I’m just saying. Wait a minute. I don’t want to work and have to pay for nothing. If it’s all been paid for. Everything that I’ll need. Come on. Forget not all his benefits. Everything that I’ll need been paying for.
Wait a minute. That’s been paid for, too. I have a right to get my tax money out of the storehouse and pay them taxes. I ain’t working. Oh. Add it up. Say, I’m going to believe God for this. Come back to me. And I’m not saying don’t pay taxes. Don’t. Don’t get me wrong here. I’m saying I’m not paying it. It’s paid for. I’m not buying my jet. I’m not buying my Air Force uniform. I’m not going to pay for dental in the military. It’s all. What? By the government. The government of the kingdom has paid for everything. See, all my stuff is paid for. Come on, one more time. All my stuff is paid for.
Folks, I believe that covers everything from from from from from healing to weaves. I mean, it covers everything. You just. All my stuff is paid for. Okay, let let me let me keep going here. All right. Can we keep going? Can we keep going? Now, notice what I said. The blessing of the Lord maketh rich. And I told you the NIV, with that is the blessing of the Lord brings wealth without painful toil for it. So Peter had toiled how long? All night, and taken what? Goose egg. Nada. Nothing. But Jesus got in the boat. What did Peter do with the boat? He took it and pushed it into a kingdom that changed jurisdictions. See? And once he did that, now it can be multiplied.
So what happened? He goes out, he said nevertheless, at thy what? Word. If you look up that word, it’s not the same as the same word that Jesus was talking about in the first verse. The first verse was logos. That word is rhema. That’s a revelatory word. Say amen to that. Revelation always brings restoration, if you act on it. If you get a revelation and don’t act on it, it’s a missed opportunity. Act on it. Now I’m going to tell you right now you’re flashing. I’m about to cover this. Your flesh is not going to agree with it. Tell your flesh to shut up. Amen. The real you is inside. Feed them. Wow! God is taking you into the impossible on purpose. He’s taking you into a battle you can’t win without him. He’s taking you to a piece of property you can’t afford without him. Say amen to to that.
I remember the first house we got. Getting it by faith now. We went up and looked at some houses for three days. Next thing you know, my wife and I were in an apartment. We got married, so we looked at some houses. Realtor took us around. A nice Christian realtor. Got back that third night. I said, baby, God is asking me, telling me to ask you which one of those do you like? And she said, well, sweetheart, you mean which one can we afford? I said, he didn’t tell me to ask you that. He told me to ask you which one do you like? She said, well, I like that big white one on the hill with that circular driveway. I said, well, let’s pray. We got down and prayed.
Now notice I got to get directions from headquarters. I better say that again. I got to get directions from headquarters. So we got down to pray. As soon as I got down to pray, she’ll verify this. God spoke to me and said, get your wife, get up, go over there and point it at the house and tell her to sell to you. Boom! Man, what did I do? Got up going over there. Exactly do what God said. Now, I mentioned something yesterday, and I called it something crazy faith. Is people whose minds are no longer governed by what makes sense. What do we do? Get up. We went over there. We got over there, and Sandy was fairly late at night and none of us was living over there, but that’s a whole nother thing.
But so we went over there that time of night and we pointed at that house. House. Is this the right bunch I’m talking to you about this? This is the NFL. House I’m talking to you. Sell to us now. Boom! Right then that house was locked up. Gone off the market. That man even said during the time that we were looking at doing, doing negotiation. He said, you know, another couple came by and offered me a greater price for this. But I like you guys. I said, I like you, too. Yeah yeah. You you you do that, you start a whole process of of of a kingdom process working on your behalf to make that thing work. Are you following what I’m saying? All right.
Now, I’m not just talking about things because the warehouse contained body parts. Come on. The warehouse contained. Watch this. New music. The warehouse. It contains everything. It’s a new economy. Music that’s never been heard here. Books that have never been written.Come on. And it will fix you. Over in the book of Job. He said that his flesh was fresher than a child’s. And he returned to the days of his youth.
You look at Job chapter two and look at the sores on his body, and then look at Job chapter 42, God restored Job whole. And I’m telling you, he can remove things from your body and make your body like a newborn baby skin. I’m telling you what God can do, man. Moses was trying to put limits on God. Oh, he had seen the Red Sea. But how are you going to feed 3 million people fresh meat every day? This can’t be done. Yes, it can be done. Because with your God, all things are possible.
One more time. Feed them. Feed them. Take care of them. Hallelujah! You got it. You got what it takes to do it. Say amen to that. So Peter, when he pulled that load in his net broke. And what I told you is this the blessing of the Lord brings what? Wealth that every fish tried to get in that net. Watch this. And busted that thing wide open. Contracts are coming to you. Whatever the case. So you got to apply this to you. Now, what do you have to do? What do you have to do? Renew your mind. I said renew your mind. And how can they believe unless they’ve what? Heard. How can they hear without a who? Preacher. So you got to believe it first. God can’t work through you except to the degree that you believe.
So I gotta believe this. I gotta believe that stuff is coming to me right now, just like it did Adam. He didn’t have to go out, sweat, work, hope and think that something may not happen. No, no, no. He was concerned about one thing. His assignment and provisions were added. Are you with me? Verse 1, and Joseph was brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard and Egyptian, brought him down at the hands of the Ishmaelites. And he brought him down thither. And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was prosperous, and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to do what? Prosper in his hand. And Joseph found what? Grace.
What’s another word for grace? Favor in his sight. And he served him, and he made him overseer over his house and all that he had, he put in his hand. And it came to pass from that time that he made him overseer over his house and all that he had, that the Lord blessed the egyptian’s house, for whose sake? Joseph’s sake and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house and in the field. And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and he knew not aught he had saved the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was goodly, a goodly person, and well favored.
All right. What do I call this? What I call it, because this is a picture of how you should be. When Jesus is in your house. Your priority should be your assignment. And that Joseph handled all the provision. So Potiphar wouldn’t have to carry that in terms of wondering. What am I going to eat? What am I going to drink? What am I going to put on that Jesus preached about? So one of the reasons why Jesus came is to make it so that you won’t have to leave your assignment to look for provision. You’ll never have to do it again. My God shall supply all your need. All of it. So he made it that way. Why? Feed 'em.
The first thing they said in John chapter 6 is 200 pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them. That everyone would take a little. What’s 200 penny worth of it? About eight months wages. What are they saying? We got to go work for eight months. Get enough money so that we can buy the provision so we can do what Jesus called us to do. Jesus said, hey, you don’t have to do that. Don’t even leave. Don’t leave this assignment. Let me show you how to multiply it back to your assignment and never have to leave your assignment. And you can have all your provisions taken care of.
