Introduction to the Believer's Walk of Faith

The believers walk of faith is supported by Bill Winston Ministries partners and viewers. Righteousness is essential for a successful life, and praying righteously means praying with confidence that God will hear you. The real fight begins after you pray and are waiting for the manifestation of your answer. The devil often attacks your thoughts, so it's important to guard your words and not negate your prayers. Angels are on assignment, waiting to act on the words you speak that align with God's promises.

The Legal Right of Prayer and the Role of Angels

Prayer is defined as a legal right to ask God to supernaturally intervene on your behalf. Angels are ministering spirits sent to help believers. God is not running the world; He is running the church, and the church should be influencing the world. Angels are assigned to believers to ensure that God's promises come to pass. It's crucial to watch what you say because angels are waiting for God's word or the words you speak.

The Power of Words and the Covenant with God

Psalm 103:19 states that the Lord has prepared His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all. Angels excel in strength and do God's commandments, heeding the voice of His word. Angels are beside believers, ministering to them. Hebrews 1:14 says that angels are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation. When someone gets born again, an angel is assigned to them to ensure God's promises are fulfilled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, as stated in Deuteronomy 30:19.

The Spiritual Battle After Prayer

When you pray and wait for the answer, the fight begins because the enemy tries to prevent the manifestation of your prayer. Daniel persevered for 21 days, and his words moved the angels. If you don't speak the right words, especially in difficult situations, angels cannot help you. In Daniel 10, the prince of Persia (a demonic force) withstood the angel for 21 days until Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help. The reason the angel had to get through was because God's word was on the line.

God's Inability to Lie and the Assurance of Answered Prayer

Titus 1:2 states that God cannot lie, reinforcing the reliability of His promises. If God didn't answer your prayer, it would be as if He lied, which is impossible. Gabriel called for Michael's help to get through to Daniel because the prayer was heard. 1 John 5:14-15 assures that if we ask anything according to God's will, He hears us, and we have the petitions we desired. Jesus operated similarly, praying before raising Lazarus from the dead.

The Importance of Faith and Resisting Doubt

After you pray, the enemy tries to introduce doubt. It's important not to rely on feelings because faith is not a feeling but confidence. Everything in the house of God is run by prayer because you need God's help for everything. The enemy sees the mark of Jesus on you and tries to stop you. Spiritual forces resist the blessings meant for you. If you're not ready to fight, you're not ready to pray.

Praying According to God's Will and Receiving His Promises

If you pray according to God's will, He will hear you, and you will receive what you asked for. Mark 11:24 encourages believers to believe they have received what they prayed for. If you pray about problems, you will have more problems. Joshua 1:3 promises that every place the sole of your foot treads, God has given to you. God will not fail or forsake you, just as He was with Moses.

Angels as Covenant Enforcing Agents

Exodus 23:20-23 describes how God sent an angel before Moses to keep him in the way and bring him to the prepared place. Angels are covenant-enforcing agents. God will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. The angel will go before you and bring you into the land, and God will cut off your enemies.

Overcoming Impossibilities Through Prayer and Faith

Deuteronomy 9:1 states that you are about to cross the Jordan to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself. The first battle was Jericho. God instructed Joshua to march around the city and shout, which seemed naturally stupid, but it was a supernatural strategy. Naturally, we cannot do it ourselves, so we need to pray for God to intervene.

Conclusion: The Power of Righteous Prayer and Faith-Filled Words

Righteousness is essential for a successful life, and praying righteously means praying with confidence that God will hear you. The fight begins after you pray, and the devil attacks your thoughts. Watch your words because angels are waiting to act on God's words. When God suggests the impossible, believe it. Stand in your righteousness and exercise faith.

0:00 the believers walk of faith is paid for by bill Winston ministries partners and viewers righteousness has everything to do with your successful life when you pray righteously you pray with confidence that whatever you pray God is gonna hear you when you pray something and you're waiting on the manifestation of the answer once you pray it is when the fight begins notice the devil starts with your thoughts so if you thought wrong put your hand over your mouth because if you come up with something that negates that

0:45 prayer then you have to start over again so we have to watch what we say because angels are on assignment and waiting on God's words that you speak how do you know that you have the petition you jizz out of him because he heard you how do you know he heard you because you prayed according to his will so when God suggests them possible to you be it unto me don't try to figure it out how he's gonna do it how is this gonna work to me as we were studying this idea of Prayer let's define prayer one more time in

1:32 another from another perspective prayer is a legal right to ask God to supernaturally intervene on your behalf all right also and we looked at this we started talking about the subject of angels the subject of angels now these angels are on assignment and these angels are here ministering for us the people of God God is not running the

2:18 world not in the world God is running the church and the church should be running the world that's very very important a lot of times of waiting on God to do something uh uh he said let them have to mean he has passed on the stewardship the lordship the caretaker ship for the ownership of this earth he's passed it over to a human pass it on to Adam and he never took it back okay now here we talked about angels because it's necessary for you to understand that there are ministering

3:05 spirits that have been sent to minister for the people of God now let's just kind of whip through that because it's a lot there but I'm just gonna just go through it no this is ain't this is what prayer does when somebody prays alright because you can have a person to pray who is who is 10 years old and they can pray you need you can have a person to pray who is a hundred and ten years old and they can get the same results just what I want you to know all right now let's let's stop here let's go over to Psalm 103 please Psalm 103 and Psalm 103

3:50 let's look starting at verse 19 the Lord has prepared his throne in the heavens and his kingdom rules over all now the kingdom of God is invading the Earth's atmosphere and it first comes in and set up inside of you and then you are transformation agents to your environment in other words you bring the environment under Kingdom government okay so I said every place the sole of your what for chill tread upon that have I given to you God expect every place he sends you to be transformed into Kingdom

4:38 a kingdom culture say men alright look at verse 20 bless the Lord ye angels that excel in strength to do His commandments harkening into the voice of his word so they hearkened to the voice of God's Word now the voice of God's Word is different from God's Word because the voice says I'm gonna take this word right now and put it up against this microphone notice you don't hear anything so who gives voice to it I have to give voice to it you don't pray to angels but they listen to the words that

5:28 you speak they're right beside you right now if you're born again they're packed in here they they really like my preaching so they are beside you and there created to minister for you he says in Hebrews chapter 1 in verse 14 he says are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation so the moment somebody comes up here and gets born again their name goes down in the Lamb's Book of

6:15 Life to get baptized pray for the be filled the Holy Ghost their name goes down in the Lamb's Book of Life and they get an assignment of an angel at least one and that angel is beside them listening to the words that they speak because that angel is assigned to them to make sure that the Covenant that God left for the promises of God in their lives that angel makes sure those promises come to pass so now we have to watch what we say because these angels

7:01 are on assignment and waiting on God's Word for his word or the words that you speak so if you the Bible says that death and life are in the power of the tongue the Bible says that in Deuteronomy chapter 30 and verse 19 he says this I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I've set before you life and death blessing and cursing therefore choose what life that both you and who your seed may live now is that possible is it possible that what happened to job was that job began

7:50 to speak the wrong things look what it says in job chapter 6 and verse 23 job chapter and verse 23 Oh deliver me from the enemy's hand or rid me from the hand of the mighty teach me and I will hold my tongue and cause me to understand what I have Aaron as you know the enemy moved in on Joe now wait a minute oh hold on now this this is this is not did somebody say well you know the Lord was trying to to to test Joe whoa God uses his word to teach us when you pray something and you're waiting on the

8:38 manifestation of the answer once you pray it is when the fight begins because the enemy's job is to keep you from manifesting what you just prayed that's his job and he comes in with all kinds of things to try to seduce you away from it now I'm getting kind of ahead of myself but let me just say this notice Daniel held on for 21 days if you look at the Book of Daniel Daniel chapter 10 starting at verse 10 and behold a hand touched me

9:24 which sent me upon my knees then upon the palms of my hands and he said to me Oh Daniel a man greatly beloved understand the words that I speak unto thee and stand upright for unto thee am I now sent and when he had spoken his word to me I stood trembling and he said unto me fear not Daniel for from the first day that you thou did it set your heart to understand and to chasten thy self before thy God thy words were heard and I'm come because of what the words your words that move the angels so if you

10:11 don't speak right words especially in a tight place the Angels can't help you they cannot help you now understand these angels tried to get through to Daniel but that's his seed the next verse and let's just see what happened the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days that's 21 days but lo Michael one of the chief Prince's came to help me and I remain there with the king of Persia notice he was trying to get through with the answer but it was held up with a war and that angel or or

10:59 the demon spirits tried to stop him but he called for reinforcements now the reason why they had to get through is cause God's words on the line this would you see to see because your prayer must be answered that this is not the kind of deal look at Titus Titus chapter 1 and Titus chapter 1 and verse 2 and look what it says here in Titus wanted to in hope of eternal life which God that what kind of not will not what is say cannot live problems before the world began see God cannot lie

11:45 see if he ever lies he Lund God himself see he said he and his word or one you think he can't lie so if he doesn't answer your prayer then it'll be like he lied and if he does he'll have none god himself the whole thing will blow up because it's all held together by the word now are you with me here so it's very important you know that Michael called for backup or or apart me Gabriel call for backup which is Michael Michael

12:30 the Archangel of war came and got through now the reason why he had to get through is because the prayer was heard the prayer was heard look at first Corinthians at first pardon me first John chapter 5 verse 14 again see I will get this over to you too because you think prayer is something like a speculation or something folks prayer is more solid than a contract that you write in the world system what it says this is a confidence that we have in him that if we ask anything according to his will what does he do to hear us and if we know that he what hear

13:17 us whatever we ask we know we what have the petition that we desired of him how do we know we have it how do we know we have it a shit-ton of a honda how do you know that you have the petition you desired of him because he heard you how do you know he heard you because you prayed according to his will now Jesus operated exactly the same way in John chapter 11 where he's gonna raise Lazarus from the dead he had to first get soup the supernatural he had to first pray like he got to do for anything that you're gonna do supernaturally in this world that you want God's help you've got to pray look

14:03 what it says in John chapter 11 and John chapter 11 and verse 44 0 and Jesus said to her say I'm not unto thee that if you would believe you'll see the glory of God then they took away the stone from the place where the Dead was lame and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said father I thank you that you have what heard me and I know that you hear me huh what always how does he know how did he know the father hears him always not because the father's listening but because Jesus prayed according to the will darling say I'm trying to let you

14:50 know it's a contract folks when you do pray you know something happen and what the devil is trying to do once you pray and I'll go with this because I'm gonna give you five steps to effective prayer I want you to pray you got to know that the enemy now he's gonna come in to produce doubt that's his job his job is to let you know what you did didn't do anything but he's a liar and don't be trying to feel it because if you feel it you're not in faithless faith is not a feeling faith is confidence [Music] [Applause]

15:38 now this is anything that you might have in your life whether it be sickness for someone he's praying here to raise the dead they prayed for his disciples before he selected him and I told you you got a he he won the right staff so he prayed for the right staff cuz if he didn't pray he might get staph infection don't know what I mean by that I'm not talking about Jesus getting sick I'm just talking about getting the wrong people he even had to pray to get Judas everything once you began once you come into the house of God once you get born again everything is run by prayer

16:24 because you need help with from God for everything you gonna do now because the enemy knows he sees a mark on your head that is marked and it says how Jesus is prophet he sees him on you supernatural he can see it and he's out to stop you there are forces resisting you that you didn't even know that contracts foes have been yours by now that promotion supposed to be hand by now come on you supposed to be a millionaire by now that new idea suppose have come to you by now I'm talking about there are spiritual forces resisting and

17:09 assisting the Gentiles but now you're learning how to pray are y'all with me so once you pray get ready to fight and what I said to you if you're not ready to fight you're not ready to pray because once you pray and believe you received it then the fight starts the enemy's job is to convince you that you love Allah thank you look what you did yesterday and so forth now we'll cover that in just a minute because you're on the dispensation of grace so you might have not acted perfectly but Jesus did

17:56 and you can take what he did by faith as your faith [Applause] he's always trying to bring up something now he'd bring you pass out bring something what he's got to stop your faith because your faith is what makes prayer work friend doesn't make faith work then that's good he's got the answer got to answer I sure hope he ain't got to answer not hope got to if you pray and that happened mister you have got it disclose the book and go

18:41 around and start praising God that if you pray according to his will he's gonna hear you and if you know that he heard you no matter what don't we pray dit you're gonna have what you've listened for now mark 11:24 just puttin up the other board therefore I say to you what things soever you desire when you pray believe you've received them come on you shall have them question do you desire more problems then don't pray the problem

19:26 if you pray the problem you will have more problems because the Angels go back up Joshua chapter 1 verse 3 every place is sole of your foot your tread upon that have I given you as I said into Moses from the wilderness even this Lebanon even to the great river the river Euphrates all the land the Hittites under the great sea toward the going down of the Sun shall be a coast and that shall not be any man able to stand before you all the days of your life as I was with Moses he'll be with you I will not fail you and I'll not forsake you and when God says something like that folks its absolute see I found out something if you used to lie and you

20:15 think everybody else in life you knew you just stopped line just start telling the truth and then you take God at His Word all right now notice what he said as I was with Moses I'll be with you and I'll not fail you or forsake you so I got to find out how is he with Moses so go to Exodus please Exodus chapter 23 and verse 20 how is he with Moses because that's very important how's he with Moses behold I'm a sin an angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which are prepared now what did I call it I said angels are covenant enforcing

21:02 agents see II is not CIA CPAs okay behold I sent an even before you Midway be aware of him and obey his voice don't provoke him not for he will not partner to interventions for my name is in it keep going but if you shall indeed obey his voice and do all I speak then I'll be an enemy to your enemies I've been adversary to adversaries for my angel shall go before you and bring you into the Emirates the hittite their parasite to Canaanites the high voice the Jebusites and what will I do I'll cut them off now why is that so

21:48 important because nobody no natural person can defeat and it-- none none they're too strong for you this is strong for you that's why when you go into that land you needed God's help because they are too mighty for you let's put it up there on the board please let's put up in Deuteronomy chapter 9 verse 1 here o Israel thought to pass over this Jordan this day to going to possess Nations what greater and mightier than yourself you can't defeat him first battle was Jericho

22:34 first Battle of Jericho how did he tell Joshua to fight that battle he said no Joshua this is what you're going to do well first of all put it up there Joshua chapter 6 and verse 1 Joshua chapter 6 first one now Jericho straightly shut up because of the children of Israel none went out none came in and the Lord said to Joshua see I've given into your hand Jericho the King thereof the mighty men of Valis see that means you've got to see it in your spirit and you shall come pass the city all you men of war and go around about the city once that's hell you do six days and seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets before the ark seven trumpets of rams horns and the seventh day you shall

23:21 compassed the city seven times and the priests shall blow that with the trumpets and it shall come to pass that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn and when you hear the sound of the trumpet all the people shall shout with a great shout and the walls of the city shall fall down flat and the people shall ascend up every man straightly before wow-wow why because they couldn't get past that city naturally they didn't have what they had today some of the weapons of war today the natural weapon they don't have though this time they had what they had and they could not defeat them so how were they gonna do it they're gonna do

24:07 it by marching around that place and then shout now how naturally stupid does that look you marching around you can hear two people up on the wall now now look at that somebody brought on and there's somebody shot was that you feel Jake you follow what I'm saying I'm saying that naturally we can't do it ourselves so we need to pray to get God to intervene [Music]
