Bill Winston - Strengthen Your Spiritual Roots
Word seed controls all forms of increase. Not money. Not money. Word seed. You sure enough you can work a job. But work the Word. Cause your increase comes through the Word. God, for you, God gave Jesus. And the way Jesus prospers you is to prosper your soul with the Word of God. The way He prospers you is to prosper your soul through the Word of God. Isn’t that powerful? The Word seed will deliver the poor poor. Luke 4:18 up there, please. And let’s look at why Jesus preach the Word. Ready? Read. Stop. The poor, they need Word seed. It’ll bring them out. And when it brings them out, they’ll be able to do their own fishing. You don’t have to fish for them. The thing that a poor person needs most is Word seed. They need to get the Word.
And that’s what we need to do in our lives. If we’re in lack, you’re lacking some Word. And in that Word, you’re supposed to believe it. When they tell, I mean, they, when I got here that enemy tried to discourage me. Boy, he tried to send me back to that job. He tried to, but after he stole my car and I didn’t have nothing. So I just said, «Hey, I’m going to just get the Word». You know, because I was left, I didn’t have nothing else. I didn’t have nothing. So I got the Word. And I began to say that Word. God will cause all grace, heavy favor, and earthly blessing to come to me in abundance so that I always, under all circumstances, whatever the need, I’m self-sufficient, having enough to require no way to support, furnished in abundance for every good work.
And I would say that over and over again. Until it did what? It that prospered my soul. Once it did that, I was on my way. You took that accelerator. And, you know, if you got in your car, one of those things that the accelerator you know, you can mash the button. Yeah. Cruise control. You put that cruise control on, and when that car start going up a hill, it will automatically add some more accelerator to it, won’t it? Are you here? now, I’m. I’m telling you, listen to you. I’m telling you how to prosper now.
See, because it’s interesting how I’ve been there. Well, no, I said, «Hey, I’m getting out of this,» and you got enough people around you, especially your relatives. You’ve got enough people around you to think you’re wasting your time getting the Word of God. No you’re not. That enemy came at me. Listen, I got saved, and the devil told me, «Now you shouldn’t be driving that Corvette». I said, «Why»? Well, he talked to me. We turned on the conversation. «Because it’s red. And you it you know, you pick up girls in it and so forth». Say you want to destroy that image, so get rid of it. I sold it to the first person that offered me some money so that dirt cheap gave it away. I’m still mad about that.
I moved out of a three bedroom luxury apartment, 2650 Lake View, overlooking the lake. I was a man about town and and the enemy told me, «You don’t need all this apartment. Now go get you a little small one bedroom. And in the bedroom is small and live in that». That’s right. And he see, if you can’t get out of where you’re at, you also have been victimized. Yeah. I’m telling you, if you if you still hanging around, you’ve been under me. Here’s what the man said and I, we were down in Sri Lanka, down just below India. And he said, «If you were in a church and get saved and you’ve been saved for nine months and you’re not a millionaire,» he said, «Something’s either wrong with you or your pastor».
He was a bishop down there and said it. I said «Oh boy, that that’s cold». He didn’t say, I have $100,000 in the bank. He said, you’re not a millionaire. You see, you have got to make up your mind that there is nothing wrong with being rich. And I don’t care what the system has told you. But there’s nothing wrong with being. You can be rich and go to Heaven. Matter of fact, when you get to Heaven from a poverty state, you’re going to be shocked. Boy, that stuff up there it is rich. The streets are paved with gold. You ever walked on gold? No. Okay. You ever listen? I’m telling you, ain’t seen nothing. You go out here and see some of these houses, that you open the doors, and there’s a waterfall in the house.
You ain’t seen nothing mad. You down here still in the bathroom? You came hard to get in and trying to. Trying to get a shower in there. And the water’s going cold because the hot water tank is so small. The first thing you ought to do is buy a new hot water tank. Make one of them big ones, that you can run that bath water until you can’t see. Then get that plastic off that couch. I’m telling you, you got to be bold. You got to say «Anything that looks like poverty. I’m getting it out of here». It won’t be long before you see, because it’s by the Word. It’s not by your job. It’s not by anything else like that. It’s by your Word. I know you want to raise, but that ain’t that that that that’s so small. Man, your salary can’t hold a candle to what God wants to do for you.
So Jesus preached the blessing. It’s God’s fruitfulness. A production creatively. I’m going to say it a certain way. The creative production of your spirit by faith. All right, now, I’ve told you, I said «Now get up». I said, «Take all your bills,» didn’t I? «And put them on the table». Am I right? I said back off of them. And do what? Point at them. Now you’re talking to them just like Jesus talked to that tree. Did the tree obey Him? Your bills will obey you, and your high blood pressure will obey you. Come on. Your pancreas will obey you. You got to get that kind of command over all the Earth. This is what God gave you. He made you a king. You are like the Father. You’re the, as they said down south, spitting image of daddy.
Man, if Jesus said «If I can do it». What? Come on, come on, you everybody better say it. «You can do it too». Now believe that somewhere walk out of here and say «Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. I’m gonna believe what the man of God said». And if somebody don’t like it. And you know, and so forth, I go that don’t pay any attention to them. They’ll come into it. But we are going to take what belongs to us. And we’re going to take it by faith. Glory to God. So this blessing is on you. Now, how do I know it’s on you? Because the Bible said it is.
Galatians 3:13–14 and in 29 it said, «The blessing of Abraham would come unto the Gentiles». This is what Jesus mission was to come here and die for all, so that the blessing will come on every nation. And that blessing is powerful. It’s the same power God used when He created the world. And He passed it on to a man. And that man was passing it down. Isaac had the blessing. And notice what He told Isaac. He said, «Now don’t go down there to Egypt». He said, «You stay in this place where I will tell you. And I’ll be and I’ll bless you». And Isaac stayed right there. And He said, Isaac sowed where? In that land and received what? A hundredfold, and who blessed him? God blessed him. The blessing of the Lord make you rich.
So what was wrong with that land? What was wrong with the land? That’s right. What was wrong with the land? Isaac sowed in? Nobody could make anything grow because no, there was no rain. But He told Isaac, «Do something crazy». I’m just using that term because it seems like that would seem crazy to sow a seed and no rain. But the blessing is the empowerment. You don’t need nothing but the blessing. What happened when Moses put that rod in the tabernacle of witness along with all the other rods? What happened overnight?
Now what happened overnight? Turn to a turn to Numbers 17:7-8. 17:7, see you, I’m going to help you get belligerent. Cause the devil’s got your money. He’s got your house. He’s, come on. Then get, yeah. Ready? Read. Now understand, there was no light in there. There was no soil in there. There was no rain in there. Come on. There was nothing in there but a rod. Now keep reading from where you left off. Ready? Read. Yielded what? He yielded fruit. How soon after the rod was put in there? Within 24, what? I’m talking about, the man said, you can be a millionaire in nine months. I said, you can be a millionaire in a month. See, don’t ask your mind what it thinks about it. Don’t ask your mind what it thinks about the the the the spirit of man says that’s my job.
Your mind says, «Oh, I don’t believe that». Your spirit says, «That’s my job». If it’s in the Word, your spirit can believe it. Words are key for you to master. Right now. That’s why I’ve been teaching on Word. It’s key for you to master. Just, don’t tell no more lies. Really, really. I’m telling you, if you want to, master, let me turn over this way again, if you want to, master, really, really. If you want to get your power going. Just don’t tell no more lies. Your words will increase in power. Because you already got what it takes to get an increase. You got a mouth and you got a spirit. And so when you say certain things be paid off. You didn’t say that. Not your mind. It can be…
I will give you one more scripture. Romans 8:6 in the AMPC. Let’s take that one. All right. Romans 8:6. See, I’m the reason why I’m trying to get you something so you can help somebody else. Man, that you haven’t seen poverty. You go where I go. If you go in Africa, man, that thing is poor. Really it’s poor. It’s poor enough to make you cry. Then you say, «Wow, if I just had a little bit more money to help them build some houses here», you know what I mean? Or to help them get themselves a decent school, which, you know? The enemies. He likes poverty because he comes to steal. Come on. Kill. Comes to destroy lives. They don’t even have clean water. That’s what people are doing on TV now. Trying to raise enough water to build a well. My goodness.
And you think, «Man, can’t they see something»? But their minds have been affected, you know, because they’ve been poor so long. But we can get them out of that. We can get them out of that sense. It’s it’s wrong. You have a you have a you have a nature of God. That’s a nature of love. And that old nature said, I got to keep it all. That nature is God. You got a nature of love. That’s why I think I gave away everything. I just loved everybody. You know. Okay. Ready? Read.
Alright, so that’s two minds. I want to go to one more scripture, go to that same scripture, go to Living Bible. Ready? Read. You can go two ways. Either you can go the way of the flesh, or you can go the way of your spirit. And if you go the way of your flesh, that’s death. If you go the way of the spirit, that’s what? That’s life. And he said, a double-minded man. Come on, come on, help me. He’s unstable in everything he does. You can’t be double-minded. Alright, okay. And then that’s revelation knowledge is light. Revelation knowledge is light.
All right. And God will bless you based upon the light you’re walking in. God will bless you based upon the light. So satan doesn’t want you, he’s a prince of darkness, he doesn’t want you to get the light. He doesn’t want you to walk in the light. And the light is the Word of God with revelation. Right. So if God’s going to prosper your soul through the word of God.
So when the woman had her kids about to be taken, she went to the man of God. And what did he give her? He gave her some instructions. And what did she do? She went and followed those instructions and prospered. Peter, Jesus came, sat in the boat, taught. Then told Peter to launch out into the deep, right. Peter said I fished all night and caught nothing, but nevertheless at that. What? Word, I’ll do it. And when he did it, he launched out and caught a boat sinking, net breaking load of fish. That was beautiful. But it was by the Word of God.
Now your mind has a limit and does not go past that boundary. That’s where you got to pick up on your spirit. It can go past the boundary. Now, I want you to see this, that your spirit is working and you don’t know it. So when you point at bills and ask your mind, «Did anything happen»? Your mind will say what? «No». Your spirit went to work. And while you’re asleep, it’s still working. And it’s solving that problem at the what root? It’s the only way the spirit solves problems. It goes to the what? Root. You decree a thing and what’ll happen? It’ll be established.
Now, if it’s by faith, can I feel it? But how do I know something’s happening? The Word. The Word told me if something’s happened. Say amen. So when I want to change my income, I can do it. With my what? My words. Now, can I feel anything happening? But I’m turning that steering wheel. You got what I’m saying. You can just start kind of enjoying yourself, whistling and saying «Ooo» whatever that is. You know, because something is happening. Your words can be used to produce your own destiny.
