Bill Winston - Work By Faith
Miracles are all through the Bible, and if you look in Exodus, you’ll see how Moses struck a rock and all kinds of water came out. Let’s go to numbers chapter 11. And that’s around verse 16 or so. And what’s happening with that? Moses needed some people to help him. Counsel. God said, now, you know, pick these here and I’m going to take the anointing that’s on you, and I’m going to put it on them. Now I’m putting it in my own words. Okay. They’re going to go to bed stupid and wake up smart. Because of a miracle. Amen. I’m saying if you understand that, God, there’s no limits with him. Once you get in this kind of business, you can, you can. You can sit there and try to get an anointing that’s on my life and draw it on your life. I mean, I.
So what happens also in numbers chapter 11 and you go on down to verse 21. This is when, uh, God heard the people crying out. They wanted some meat. And God said, okay, you tell them, I’m going to give them some meat and I’m going to give them meat for one day. I’m going to give them meat for two days. Five days. I’m going to give them meat for a whole month until they loathe it and it comes out of their nostrils. Now Moses began to question God. Now wait a minute, God. This is 600,000 footmen. That means people 20 years old and over able to fight wars. You got them, let alone women and children and so forth. And God kind of rebuked him. He said, It’s the Lord’s hand waxed short.
Now notice what he was doing. He had hit Moses’s choke point. See, Moses. See Moses. Moses could believe some stuff, but he couldn’t believe that. And I’m saying, uh, take your choke point off. Because God can do exceeding abundantly beyond all you can ask or think. all you can ask or think. If you’re going down, it’s going down. In the New Testament acts chapter four, verse 13. This is when, uh, this is when the shadow. The shadow of Peter. The shadow of Peter passing over some people healed them. Glory to God. Watch this. No trace. No time and no treatment. They didn’t get a treatment. The moment his shadow passed over him, healing took place. Are you following what I’m saying?
I mean, it should be in the church. The moment people come up in there, they’re in a tabernacle of witness. So Acts chapter five and verse 14. Now, in the CEV translation, my wife and I looked at us up. Now notice what’s happening here. They’re working miracles. And the religious leaders could see that they were ordinary. Ordinary. And what do you say? Not well-educated. So this can work for uneducated. Are you following what I’m saying? I’m saying I don’t care. Thank God for your PhD. But this will work for no deal. This will work for a high school graduate. This will work for a brother in incarceration. This will work. Come on. With a sister in an orphanage along with her. This will work for anybody who will work it. They’re trying to figure out how is this happening through them. They are ignorant and unlearned.
That’s when one scripture said. Yeah, yeah. They’re trying to figure this out because you got to go through eight years of seminary To get this to happen. No. You got to go to a class on miracle. Amen. Amen. Amen. So what’s happening now? Here is Acts chapter 19. Okay. Acts chapter 19. Here is Paul in verses 11 and 12, working unusual miracles. Now, I’m not sure what unusual miracles are, but what he did is he had his handkerchief. And it touched his body. Are you with me? Here? And he touched his body and gave it to somebody. And they took it. And, uh. And they’re they’re they’re drunk husband. No, I shouldn’t say that, but they took it. And that had the same power. Yes. See? We’ve forgotten.
What about the handkerchiefs today? Come on now. We’ve been civilized, out of miracles. And the enemy did it on purpose. Because it leaves no trace. And it takes no time. So this is Paul now. So I’m saying faith for miracles. And so we want to get us ourselves miracle minded. Because what we’ve got to do, are you going to need a miracle to undo some of this? Am I right about this? The lady came down to me down the lake and she said, hey, this is you know, the drug dealers have taken over my block and so forth and so on. I said, get in this circle, let’s pray.
So we got in there and prayed. Prayed in the spirit and received from God. God said, take the oil. Bless it. Tell her to pour it down the middle of the street. She said, well, give it here. She didn’t fight me on that thing. And sometimes when you’re desperate enough, you won’t fight a miracle. And let me tell you, she poured down in the middle of the street. Came back 3 or 4 days later, said pastor. Guess what? They came out the next day for one hour and never came back. They were. They were every day. That was a headquarters for them selling drugs. God took one miracle. That took no time. And fix that community.
But notice what I had to be. I had to be miracle. What? Mind you, because I had to be willing to do something that didn’t sound like it was logical to get the response from God that I needed to get in her situation. So it may not be you that needs a miracle. It may be somebody else. But they’re going to come to you. Here’s what he said. This is Second Kings, chapter seven, verse one. Tomorrow. I better come over here for this. Tomorrow. About the same time. They’re going to be plenty. Let me. Let me preach. Let me preach this. Okay. That’s all right. That’s right. You can help. You can help me. It’s going to be plenty, and it’s going to be cheap.
Now, when he said that, he believed what he said is going to come to what? Pass. So if God’s got to find four lepers, come on. For this thing to happen, he will find him. If God find anybody. I don’t care when I say we’re turning jails into the boarding school. If I believe what I say is going to come to pass, because part of my job is to manage this whole earth, everything that’s wrong make it right, everything that’s upside down, turn it right side up. Every bad law. Get it off the books and put a good one. Everybody who’s here in Satan and doing his work. Take them down and put another one up. I’m a miracle worker. And so are you.
Say: I am a miracle worker in Jesus name. You think about it. You get this, and you’ll be too expensive for the devil to deal with. Because when he steals from you and steals a paycheck from you, you say, okay, for that, I’m going to have $1 million come. To me this Week before the week is out. Because the scripture says if the thief be found, he’s going to have to empty out his. whole house. Do you hear what I’m telling you? It’s time to take everything that the devil has got.
Now, I’m telling you this message that I’m giving you. I’m telling you that enemy tried to take away my sleep last night. I had to sleep by faith because my wife and I went over what I was going to say, and he knew what I was going to say. But he knew he couldn’t stop me. Because if God be for me, he can’t stand against me. Say Amen. And I decree six millionaires. You see why the devil doesn’t want us to have miracles? Because when you get miracles, you get crazy faith. You’ll start saying things, doing things, expecting things that nobody else thinks that can happen. But God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you can ask for.
Think. Whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe you receive them, and you shall have them. Whosoever shall say to this mountain, be thou removed, be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe the things that he says shall come to pass. He shall have whatsoever he say. If God Before me. Who can be against me in Jesus name. Now give God praise. Miracles are starting in here today. By virtue by stream. Miracles are starting in your house today. In Jesus name tonight. Boy, the anointing is in here. Miracles are going to start as the anointing is in here. Look out! Ten cities. The anointing is coming to your city. Everybody that’s sick is going to be healed. Glory to God! Give him a shout and a thank you. Thank you. Jesus. In Jesus. Name.
Woo woo! I feel the Holy Ghost. Oh! Glory to God! Glory to God. heal the sick. Cleanse the lepers. Raise the Dead. Cast out demons freely you receive. Freely you. Give. All right. Let me just say one more thing. John chapter four and verse 48, Jesus said, except they see signs and wonders, they will not believe. And I’m telling you, one of the reasons for us producing miracles is to get in that unbeliever, because some of them won’t move unless they see a miracle. Yeah, I’m telling you, this is your season. I said you’ve been born for such a time as this. You go through that Bible and see the miracles that are happening through God. Nothing is too hard for God. I don’t care your situation. I’m telling you, it may be something that you’ve lost, but God can take time and move time this way and pull this miracle out. It takes faith.
Man named Doctor Frederick K.C. Price. I remember he told the story when we went down. When we were first starting here in Chicago, we went down to a meeting that he was having with all the inner city pastors. He told a story about a car. He said he had a car, but it was wrecked in the front, on the sides, in the back by his daughters, and he said that he learned about the prosperity message that God will prosper his people. So he said he preached it all the way from Northern California, all the way down to El Segundo or something. Maybe that was that was Sanford and Son, but he preached it all the way down there. Are you following what I’m saying?
And he said he’d pull up in that old raggedy car and get out and preach this strong word on God prospers his people. Then he said his wife would try to push him out and try to get him out in the car and drive away before they saw the car. He said, but I wasn’t moved. He said the reason why I wasn’t moved because in the spirit, I had already received my automobile. Say amen. And he got it. But notice, you can’t be moved. I said you cannot be moved. Hallelujah! Some people. You gotta watch it. Don’t let such an influence from your tribe. Keep you from saying and believing what God has for your life. Say amen. Amen. This is the beginning of a whole new phase of your life.
