Dr. Bill Winston: You Were Born Into The Wealthiest Family – Heirs of the World
Discovering Your True Identity: Born Into God’s Wealthiest Family
Imagine living each day knowing you belong to the wealthiest, most loving, and powerful family the world has ever known. As a believer in Jesus Christ, this isn’t just a hope it is your birthright! In a world obsessed with material wealth and external validation, it’s easy to lose sight of our true spiritual inheritance. Yet, through faith and the Word of God, we can access all the blessings our Heavenly Father has prepared for us from the foundations of the earth. Today, let’s dive deep into the transformative truth that your words, faith, and mindset can unlock your heavenly inheritance and position you as an heir of the world.
Faith Is Alive Your Words Are Your Workers
There’s something electrifying about being in an environment where faith fills the air. At events like the International Faith Conference, believers gather, energizing one another with hope, expectancy, and a shared fire for God’s promises. This atmosphere isn’t confined to conferences it’s meant for everyday life. But why do some Christians feel stuck or stagnant despite their best efforts and integrity?
The answer often lies in the words we speak. Scripture teaches us to see our words as workers we employ daily. What we declare shapes our experiences, either building up or tearing down the future God has for us. When your business looks stuck, speak progress. When your children seem to stray, declare their godly destiny. Your spiritual maturity is revealed in what comes out of your mouth, not just your actions.
The Creative Power of Speech
Words were never intended merely for venting frustrations or spreading opinions on social media. From the beginning, God used words to create. Jesus demonstrated this power by commanding a fig tree to wither, revealing the spiritual authority vested in every believer’s tongue. “Have faith in God,” He said. “Whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt but believes what he says will happen, it will be done for him.” (See Mark 11:14, 22-23)
If we’re honest, many Christians doubt the efficacy of their confessions. Yet Jesus teaches us a radical truth: if you truly believe what you speak in alignment with God’s promises, you will have whatever you say. The challenge, then, is to let faith saturate your heart and ignite your confessions with conviction.
The Key to Increase: Speak Abundance
The Bible is clear your mouth determines your harvest. Proverbs 18:20-21 reminds us that “a man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
It isn’t enough to tithe, to work honestly, and live with integrity. If your speech contradicts your financial vision, you’ll cancel out the blessing. Statements like, “I can never get these bills paid,” undermine your faith in God’s provision. Instead, speak increase! Even a small rudder can turn a great ship so let your tongue set a course toward prosperity and breakthrough.
Aligning Speech with Spiritual Principles
When we mix our giving and tithes with negative words, we block the benefit and power intended for us. God wants us to reinforce our tithing and sowing with words of blessing, not doubt. Malachi 3:12 declares that God will cause “all nations to call you blessed” but our own confessions can make us miss this blessing if we’re not careful.
Jesus emphasized the importance of speaking words of life and faith, not words of fear or defeat. Idle words are dangerous they’re like unproductive employees just sitting around! As believers, every word should work on our behalf, advancing God’s destiny and abundance for us.
Navigating Life’s Storms with Faith-Filled Speech
When the disciples faced a raging storm, they cried out in fear, speaking words of defeat: “Teacher, don’t You care that we’re perishing?” Their words reflected anxiety, not faith words that empower the enemy rather than bring the breakthrough. Jesus, however, was at rest, demonstrating the peace and authority born of spiritual alignment.
The enemy seeks to pressure you into releasing negative words. Don’t let your lips sink your own ship! Instead, even in the face of difficulty, declare God’s truth. When things look hopeless, let your words announce a new reality progress, healing, restoration, and divine turnaround.
Breaking Free from the World’s Limiting Mindset
God’s people spent centuries in slavery, but when He led them out of Egypt, He not only set them free. He erased every trace of bondage. Psalm 105:37 reveals that He brought them forth with silver, gold, health, and dignity. God doesn’t just deliver. He restores everything you’ve lost, breaking every dependence on worldly systems and teaching you to live by His supernatural provision.
When God provided manna, He was training His people to trust in Him daily, dismantling their scarcity mindset. If you find yourself tempted to hoard or fear lack, remember that God will always be enough. He’s a God of more than enough when you’re ready to steward abundance with a heart of faith.
God Honors Faithful Promises and Vows
Maybe you feel like you’re falling short, or your “womb” (dream, purpose, goal) remains closed despite your prayers and efforts. Hannah’s story in the Bible shows that God responds to faith-filled vows. She asked God for a child, promising to dedicate him to the Lord. Scripture says when we make a vow, God provides on “credit” answering as we commit by faith, confident we’ll honor our word.
Hannah’s faith opened not just her womb but the door to more blessing than she imagined
