Ministries’ partners and

[music]
>> Bill Winston: God never
intended for the world system to
support his family.
[music]
>> Bill: You need a revelation
of who you are.
You got the same God in you that
Jesus had in him and you got the
same anointing, being filled
with the Holy Ghost.
It’s not gonna be us.
It’s gonna be the Father in us.
He’s gonna do the work ’cause
we’re in the Sabbath.
And in the Sabbath, it means
that I’m taking you back to the
Garden, back to a time where
Adam never had to bear the
weight of his own provision,
that God was gonna take care of
him.
Come unto me all that labor and
are heavy laden.
I’mma give you rest.
Hebrews chapter 4, starting at
verse 1.
“Let us therefore fear, lest, a
promise being left us as
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.”
All right, let’s just stop right
there.
That he said that “the word
preached did not profit them,
not being mixed with faith in
them that heard it.”
He didn’t say the word wasn’t
preached.
It says what was preached didn’t
profit.
And it says why.
Because they didn’t mix it.
They didn’t mix it.
And when I preach something,
like today, for the most part
I’m giving you the benefit of
research that I’ve done and
study that I’ve done and you
just come in here on Sunday
morning and you get it.
But that’s what I’m saying about
your notes.
You have to do something with
it.
You have to mix it.
Because you heard it with your
head but now we gotta get it
into your heart.
And what it does is that inside
of us are, if you could say the
word, are trees.
There’s trees.
There’s something inside of us.
The Bible talks about, over in
Matthew’s Gospel, and Matthew’s
Gospel chapter–let me give you
the Scripture.
Matthew’s Gospel chapter, yeah,
15 and verse 13, “But Jesus
answered and said to them,
‘Every plant, which my heavenly
Father has not planted, shall be
rooted up.'”
Every plant which my heavenly
Father has not planted shall be
rooted up.
So inside of us are plants.
Plants.
Just like you see the Garden of
Eden.
It’s not outside anymore, it’s
inside.
And now with it being in there,
there are plants in there.
And every plant that my heavenly
Father has not planted shall be
rooted up.
So there are plants that are
inside of people.
Now when I say plants, I mean
images, belief systems.
And they’re inside of people and
they cannot go any further than
that belief system ’cause the
belief system–really, whatever
you believe is what you become.
And so that belief system really
sets up a boundary for how far
you go.
And that’s why it says on
Proverbs chapter 4, verse 23, he
said, “Guard your heart because
out of the heart are the issues
or forces or boundaries of your
life.”
That’s Hebrew word for boundary.
So it’s the forces or boundaries
of your life, they’re in your
heart.
And people say, “Well, he’s my
problem.”
He’s not your problem.
Your problem is you.
It’s inside of that and you
can’t go any further than that.
It just so happened that the
image in you drew him, see?
And ’cause you’re designed that
way.
You’re resigned to be drawn to
what you believe.
And so inside here, he is saying
they didn’t mix it.
So as I give you the word, I
give it to you in seed form.
Well, you take that word.
Now you gotta mix it.
You gotta take it home and you
gotta talk about it, think about
it, ponder about it, meditate on
and so forth.
Why?
‘Cause it’s dropping now from
your head down to your what?
Down to your heart and notice
what it’s gonna do.
It’s gonna root up the first
tree.
And that’s the tree that the
world planted.
And the world planted that tree
’cause they didn’t want you to
go any further.
So the fence is not outside.
The fence is inside.
Every one of us has fences.
And you gotta get beyond it.
And that’s belief system.
Some people believe other races
are not as good as them.
Some people believe that other
people are not as smart as them
’cause they didn’t go to same
school.
Other believe–so forth and so
on.
It’s a lot of stuff out there.
But every tree in you that the
Father has not planted shall be
rooted up.
Now God wants you to be this, he
wants you to be that, so forth.
And the enemy’s job is to keep
control of us and keep us down,
make it so that we don’t go but
so far and so forth like that.
And you gotta get all of that
out ’cause it’s not of God.
And that’s why I have all y’all
come here so you can see each
other and, you know, and you
know, and see each other.
[chuckling]
This man was talking about one
time–he mixed the wrong thing.
But what he talk about is, you
know, he knew that he was gonna
die at certain age ’cause his
grandfather died, his father
died, and he started saying he
gonna die.
He went over to this lady’s
house with this other pastor,
the pastor was there, and he
started talking about it.
And this lady who was a prayer
warrior heard it.
Said, “Well, you know,” he said,
he’s gonna, you know, “Momma
dies–Dad dies of heart attack,
Granddad died of heart attack,
you know, and all them died at
68,” whatever it was.
He said, “I guess, I’m on my way
too.”
Well, she heard that and so she
came in the front room where
they were.
She said, “Now, tell me that
again now.”
He said, “Well,” she said,
“Well, my granddad died and so
forth and my father died.”
He said–she said, “Well, tell
me the truth on that thing.”
He said, “Well, okay, my
granddaddy died at a certain age
and my father died at a cert–”
She said, “No, tell me the
truth.”
He said, “Well, I’m telling it
to you.
My granddad died at
such-and-such.”
She jumped right in his collar
and shook his head, “Tell me the
truth!”
Well, the truth is in the Bible.
“With long life I will satisfy
you.”
And let me tell you, if you
believe that, you will receive
that.
It will happen to you and it
wasn’t God’s plan to happen to
you but it happened to you
because the fence was on the
inside and it was dictating how
far you gonna go in life.
And I’m telling you right now
God has made you a genius and
God–don’t say, “I’m getting old
and, you know, my mind ain’t
what it used to be.”
That’s why it ain’t what it used
to be.
Because you are saying it,
sowing it, and having it.
We’ve had so many people come
into our foundation class, you
know, who are coming to be
members here and the first thing
they say, especially if they’re,
you know, older group, “Well,
you know, my mind ain’t what it
used to be.”
You know, we say, “Shut up, you
know, don’t–”
No, we don’t do that.
But we just–we try to get ’em,
encourage ’em, “Don’t say that.
You’re cursing yourself when you
say that.”
Don’t say–say what the Bible
says.
“Life and death are in the power
of the tongue.”
Isn’t this wonderful?
So when I tell you something,
I’m showing you something–I’m
gonna show you some new things.
When I show you these new thing,
don’t fight me on it.
If I read it out of the Bible,
don’t get mad at me.
“Well, he’s saying that.”
It’s in the Bible.
I’m reading it out of the Bible.
Take it and mix it ’cause
there’s a tree in you that’s
trying to dictate to you how far
you’re gonna go with God and God
has bigger plans for you.
Say, “Amen,” to this.
It was a good shout, folks.
All right, let’s keep going.
Let’s start reading Hebrews
chapter 4 and verse 4.
Glory to God.
“For he spake in a certain place
of the seventh day on this wise,
and God did rest,” on the what?
“Seventh day from all his,”
what?
“Works.”
Next verse.
“Seeing therefore it remaineth
that some must enter into
that–therein, and they to whom
it was first preached entered
not in because of,” what?
“Unbelief.”
Verse 9 please, all the way
down.
“There remaineth therefore a
rest to the people of God.
For he that is entered into his
rest, he also has ceased from
his own,” what?
“Works, as God did from his.”
Next verse.
“Let us labor therefore to enter
into that rest, lest any man
fall after the same example of
unbelief.”
Glory to God.
Now, “Let us labor therefore to
enter into that rest.”
Now, he was referring now all
the way back to Genesis and
Genesis and chapter 2, “Thus the
heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of
them.”
This is God, finishing the
heavens and earth.
“And on the seventh day God
ended his work which he had
made; and he rested on the,”
what day?
“Seventh day from all his work
which he had made.
And God blessed the seventh day,
and sanctified it, because that
in it he had rested from all his
work which God created and
made.”
Now, did he rest ’cause he was
tired?
>> audience: No.
>> Bill: Why did he rest?
>> audience: Because he had
finished.
>> Bill: All right.
Now, this is key.
God made everything in 6 days
and in the sixth day he made a
man.
Now, here’s man and he’s the
highest creation so everything
is to serve the man.
The man’s not to serve anything.
Everything is made to serve the
man.
God made the seventh day so now
man’s gonna step over into the
seventh day because the seventh
day all the work was done.
And he rested on the what day?
Seventh day.
Let’s go to John.
John chapter 14.
“Believeth thou,” this is Jesus
talking, “that I’m in the
Father, the Father in me?
And the words that I speak unto
you I speak not of myself, but
the Father that dwelleth in me,
he doeth the,” what?
“Works.”
Now, this is Jesus now.
Who does the work in Jesus’s
ministry?
Who does the work?
The Father, okay?
All right, look at verse 12,
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
he that believeth on me, the
works that I do shall he do
also; and greater works than
these shall he do; because I’m
going to the Father.”
Jesus was born of the Father,
had the same DNA as the Father
and everything.
But in this earth, he was born
the Son of Man.
Now, he called himself that.
Why?
Because if he functioned as God,
then he’d be illegal.
He had to function as a man
anointed by God.
Now, how do you know that?
Because when he came up out of
the baptism, the Bible says that
the Spirit of God descended upon
him like a dove.
That’s when he was anointed.
Because he didn’t carry out one
miracle like that until he was
anointed.
Now, somebody says, “Okay, what
does that have to be with him
and God?”
If he were God, he wouldn’t need
no anointing.
Where do you go to get any
greater anointing than God?
I mean, he’s–if he were God, he
wouldn’t need that.
He only needed it because he was
functioning as a man.
Now, the reason why I’m telling
you this is because God sent
Jesus to show you how you and
Adam are to work.
He let you see what the first
man was like in the second Adam
and let you know that you are a
continuation of the Adam before
he sinned.
And that he has got you born
again so that means you are born
of the same Spirit that God is.
And that Spirit came and
replaced the corrupt spirit that
was inside of you and me and
replaced it and a new man came
in there.
Brand new man, never been in
before, never been in the earth
before.
You–don’t say, you know, your
past–you don’t have a past.
You–Paul said, “I’ve hurt no
man, I’ve offended no man.”
That’s the same man that was
hauling people off to jail and
consenting to people’s death.
He said, “No, you need a
revelation of who you are.”
So notice now, you’ve got the
same God in you that Jesus had
in him and you got the same
anointing being filled with the
Holy Ghost.
So you’ve got exactly the same
that Jesus has in him.
So he’s saying, “What I did, you
can do too.”
Now, it’s not gonna be us that
does it.
It’s gonna be the Father in us.
He’s gonna do the work ’cause
we’re in the Sabbath.
And in the Sabbath, it means
that I’m taking you back to the
Garden, back to a time where
Adam never had to bear the
weight of his own provision,
that God was gonna take care of
him.
Look what he said in Exodus
chapter 14 and verse 14, and
just put it up there on the
board real quick.
And he said this.
He said, “The Lord shall fight
for you, and you shall hold your
peace.”
That says Moses and them and
they’re looking at Pharaoh,
advancing, coming after them
because the children of Israel
have left bondage now and
Pharaoh didn’t wanna let ’em go.
But God will make them let you
go when you don’t have the
strength to get loose yourself.
He will make them let you go and
he said, “Hey, you hold your
peace.
The Lord is gonna fight for
you.”
Say, “Amen,” to this.
You see, he’ll fight for you,
he’ll work for you, c’mon.
He’ll heal you, he’ll deliver
you.
I’m telling you, whatever you
need, God’ll supply it.
Why?
Because we’re in covenant with
God through Jesus Christ and
whatever belongs to God belongs
to us.
And whatever belongs to us
belongs to God.
And that’s the way a covenant
functions.
Boy, I’m preaching better than
you saying, “Amen.”
Now, how valuable are you?
Look at 1 Peter now, chapter 1
and verse 18.
Over in 1 Peter chapter 1, verse
18, he’s talking about–look
what he says.
“Forasmuch as you know that you
were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver
and gold, from your vain
conversation received by
tradition of your fathers; but
with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without
blemish and without spot.”
Now, notice what he just said.
You were not redeemed with
corruptible things such as
silver and gold.
He calls silver and gold
corruptible.
So there was not–when you–when
Adam sinned, he put all of us in
the pawn shop, everybody.
Now, to get us out, you gonna
have to get a redeeming ticket.
He gonna have to buy us out.
And Jesus knew that there wasn’t
enough money in the universe to
get one of you out.
He had to give his own blood to
get you out.
Now, look what he says in
Revelation now.
Revelation, he talks about King
of kings and Lord of lords.
Look what he says over here.
He said, “And he hath on his
vesture,” talking about Jesus,
“and on his thigh a name
written, King of,” who?
“Kings, and Lord of,” who?
“Lords.”
Now, wait a minute.
We know he’s a king but who are
the other kings he’s talking
about?
Us.
We know he’s the Lord but who’s
the other lords?
We are.
Have you ever seen a king
waiting on a paycheck?
I’d better come over here.
Have you ever–and then, I’m
making a point, that you weren’t
built for a paycheck.
You weren’t built for it.
A paycheck means and you waitin’
on it and having faith in that
paycheck and see that paycheck
is your source or that job is
your source, you fall into a
category of Jeremiah chapter 17.
Over in Jeremiah chapter 17 and
verse 5, he says this, “And thus
saith the Lord, ‘Cursed be the
man that trusteth in man.'”
Let me read it another way.
“Cursed be the man that trusteth
in his paycheck.”
I better come over here ’cause
that group is not excited.
“Cursed be the man that trusteth
in his paycheck and makes his
job his source, whose heart
departed from the Lord.”
God never intended for the world
system to support his family.
Never, never.
It’s a disgusting thought to the
Lord.
Never.
Never.
And you can add to yourself.
You can work three jobs.
Here I was working two jobs, one
at IBM from 8:00 to 5:00 and
then get off.
I told you, when I first went on
quota and was selling computers,
I didn’t sell anything so I got
me a second job.
Well, that’s what the world
says.
See, it–you have to check your
source of thoughts.
Because my source of thoughts
came from the world system, came
from Babylon.
And my source said, “Get another
job.”
Well, I get another job.
Why?
‘Cause I’m looking for
provision.
Because right now, the
pressure’s coming on me and if
you check people’s life, you’ll
see that most of the pressure is
financial.
Most of the pressure.
Financial is causing high blood
pressures.
Financial is causing sugar
diabetes.
Financial is causing poor eating
habits.
Financial is causing–I’m
telling–go across the board.
Marriage problems, divorces,
finance, finance, finance!
Now, if I can fix that finance
demon, c’mon, then God’s people
can be free.
That’s what Jesus came to
preach.
That’s what he came to show you.
Hey, wait a second.
Satan has set up a system so
that you have to come through
his money system before you can
have anything ’cause he’s
related everything to money.
Your teeth getting fixed, you
getting the new hair, and so
forth and so on.
Whatever it is, it’s gonna cost
you some money.
Jesus is saying, “I’m gonna show
you how to go around the money
system.
It’s–” C’mon now.
“And I can have you come and buy
with no money.”
[cheering and applauding]
It’s money, that’s the
motivation.
And what you’re trying to do
when you go and press in for
that, you’re trying to add to
yourself.
And that’s called communism,
socialism, and that’s what they
do.
In communism, they try to
commune.
They say, “You grow this, God
grow that.
I give you a little bit of this,
you give me a little bit of
that, and we don’t need God.
But you just do this,” and so
forth.
What are they doing?
Pretty soon, Babylon is built.
Babylon in Genesis chapter 11.
They building this tower up to
heaven, trying to get to heaven
without God.
Socialism, the same thing.
And this world is moving towards
it.
“That’s why I wanna do
everything for you.
Gimme this, go to a job, get the
benefits, you don’t need God.
Just get some of these benefits
and so forth.
Keep God out of it.”
Why?
Satan is slowly trying to move
everybody into his system.
I don’t mind you having the
thing but don’t trust in it.
I’m just saying this because
there’s a lot of things in here
that people that they don’t know
are in here.
They don’t know it’s in here.
I’m talking about adding to
yourself, trying to get this,
trying to get that and make it
happen.
Folks, I’m telling you, I’m
gonna work all these jobs and
save and so forth, with all my
labor and so forth.
I stacked up this and next thing
you know, you’re worshiping your
bank account and won’t let
no–c’mon, won’t give nothing
away.
And “‘Cause I’m gonna buy me a
new house.”
There ain’t nothing about saving
up for a new house in the Bible.
I’m gonna show you something.
I’m gonna show you–we’re gonna
work this system.
There’s nothing–if God adds to
it, that’s one more thing.
But that’s a lottery, that’s the
lure of the lottery.
The lottery is luring because
it’s people seeking rest.
They’re seeking trying to get
provisions without too much
labor.
They got to work too hard.
They got to spend too much time
trying to make this happen.
And still when they make it
happen, if you add it to
yourself, then sorrow comes with
it.
That’s why he says in Proverbs
10:22, he talks about that “the
blessing of the Lord, it
maketh,” what?
“Rich, and he addeth–”
>> audience: “No sorrow with
it.”
>> Bill: This is–I’m shifting
you now.
You’ve got some trees inside.
I’mma get them trees out.
When we were saving up for a
house, God said, “Okay,” at this
meeting we were having, he said,
“Now, I want you to give this
away.”
Praise God.
I said, “But, that was part of
the money we were saving.”
He–see, he knew that part of
that we were saving, we got for
ourself.
He wants to do everything for
you.
He doesn’t want you to work.
He wants you to take care of one
thing.
Your assignment.
No one representing the King of
kings should be broke.
No one, no one, no one.
So you don’t say, “I don’t have
much education.”
It doesn’t make any difference
whether you got much education.
That–your provision is not
based on education.
Your provision is based on your
inheritance.
You have become a joint heir
with Christ.
[music]
>> Bill: God never intended for
the world system to support his
family.
>> Bill: You need a revelation
of who you are.
You got the same God in you that
Jesus had in him and you got the
same anointing, being filled
with the Holy Ghost.
It’s not gonna be us.
It’s gonna be the Father in us.
He’s gonna do the work ’cause
we’re in the Sabbath.
And in the Sabbath, it means
that I’m taking you back to the
Garden, back to a time where
Adam never had to bear the
weight of his own provision,
that God was gonna take care of
him.
Come unto me all that labor and
are heavy laden.
I’mma give you rest.

Order “Resting in God” today.
>> Bill: Hello, Bill Winston
here.
Today’s teaching, “Resting in
God: Volume 1,” is part of a
two-disc series.
Now, I trust this message has
been encouraging to you ’cause
we’re talking about mixing the
Word of God with faith.
So this is the only way that
faith can work for you and take
the toil out of your life.
See, that faith is that rest
that God talks about.
So important point for you to
remember is this.
In Proverbs chapter 10, in verse
22, it says, “The blessing of
the Lord, it maketh rich, and he
addeth no sorrow with it.”
You see, when God’s blessing is
on you, God’s blessing does a
lot for you.
That’s what it’s designed to do.
One translation says, “The
blessing of the Lord brings
wealth.”
I mean, it’s–it brings things.
It brings resources.
It brings ideas.
It bring–that’s what the
blessing does.
So God has provided a lot of
things for us.
When that blessing is involved
that’s on y our life and my
life, praise the Lord, it takes
the toil out of our lives.
So God has provided for every
need that you and I might have
so that we can focus in on one
thing and that’s our assignment.
What did he purpose for you and
I to do?
That’s what he wants you to
focus in on.
He wants to take care of all the
needs.
Praise the Lord.
Well, this is Bill Winston,
saying we love you.
Until next time, keep walking by
faith.
