During Tuesday night service when Bishop Oyedepo prayed I was instantly healed. My knee had torn meniscus and trauma to two ligaments. The doctor gave me a leg brace, medicine, ordered therapy and suggested surgery to repair my knee. But, before my first therapy session on Friday, August 20th, I was healed. At the end of the night Bishop Oyedepo said to do something you could not do so I ran the length of my house and shouted on my feet to the Lord to give Him praise. Thank you for providing services via internet. Danielle Winn

My wife and I were watching the broadcast on Aug 15th when you spoke of sowing a seed. We sowed a $100 seed into your ministry and this afternoon we received an unexpected refund check for $800 from our mortgage company. God is faithful! The Word is true! Jeff and Roxana Kwas

We became partners in March '10 and immediately began confessing the Word over every situation in our lives. In June we asked this ministry for prayer as we we were looking to purchase a home. We wrote down what we desired in our home and we made appointments to see homes. We found a real estate confession on the website and revised it to fit our need. We moved into our new home on Aug 1 and the Lord gave us better terms than what we asked for. Praise God! His Word does not return void. Lester and Robin Luahiwa

I was told a week ago By National Recovery that I wouldn't be able to attend school again until I paid off my loan that was in default. I sat down and prayed, and I said Lord school is my only option left and if it's in your will for me to go, no matter what anyone say I will be attending school. I went to check on my financial aid. Then the lady looked at me and said you have full financial aid all you have to do is pick your classes. I closed my eyes in said thank you Jesus you never let me down. Adrienne

On August 2, I listen to the Increase message in the Partners Cafe. I later played it for my wife when she returned home from her part time job. For the past 2 years we have been in a financial battle, I am currently unemployed. We both agreed that we want to make a Faith pledge and sow $1000.00 in to the ministry. My wife, son and I prayed for the manifestation of the funds. Yesterday it came in. Praise God! We are sowing this seed into this Ministry according to Luke 6:38, Phil 4:19. Thank you William & Jackie Jackson

Nine years ago my kidneys shut down without warning. Within one year the Lord gave me a live donor. It will be 8 years ago on December 11th of this year. When I received the kidney my creatinine level was 1.1 and for the last 7 years it‘s been running 1.2 or 1.3. This year for six months it has been showing signs of rejection. My doctor was very anxious and insisted on doing a biopsy. On June 28th, I went to have my labs done, and the results came back showing my creatinine level up to 1.7. My doctor was ready to admit me right away but I told him that I’d come back the next day to be admitted. I called my prayer partner Betty and we prayed and stood on the Word that the creatinine level would come down. The next morning I went to the Hospital to check myself in and the first thing they did was take blood. A few hours later the nurse came back with a stunned look on her face and told me that my creatinine had come down from 1.7 to 1.2 with no treatment of any kind. THAT WAS A MIRACLE! God is faithful. He honors His Word to perform it. Daisy Jordan

Recently, the Holy Spirit lead me to pray OUT LOUD Psalm 91 over my family and household. God told me to focus and speak it regardless of the people on the train. Later that day while helping a friend close a garage door my fingers were smashed. Immediately, my friend opened the door and I looked at my hands and said “I am fine” because I prayed Psalm 91 over me. I said “God you promised me and my prophet said that I am IMPERVIOUS!” To move on my faith, I picked-up a box to show the enemy that his scheme had failed. This was important because I’m a massage therapist who has prospered because of my anointing to lay hands on the sick and they recover. A week later my apartment flooded. I was reminded that all things will work for the GOOD because I am the child of the God. I shut my mouth, got myself together, and called my friend for help. Within 30 minutes she and two others were there. That was all GOD! We prayed for God’s grace and strength and praised Him for being with us even in the flood. As we praised Him God caused the water to dissipate and the clogged drain to open. I remember God’s word saying that He would be with us through the water, the flood and the fire and we would not be harmed or burned! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! Jeanie Neira

I want to thank you for your teaching on Vengeance and Recompense. I began confessing the scriptures for a situation with Revenue Canada. They said I owed over $2,700 the final bill that I paid was $20.65 and they even refunded that amount back to me. In Christ and to His Glory, Donna Werkman

In 2006 our family business was failing. By June that year we were in the red. We had viewed Believer's Walk of Faith and even attended LWCC when in Chicago. We really liked Bill Winston's teachings. So we sowed a $50 seed, believing the teachings we had heard. About 1 week later we received a call from a company offering us a $18,000.00 job! The Word worked! We became committed partners. Today our business is making millions! Our minds have been renewed! Thank you Pastor Winston! CHERYL WHEATON

Praise the Lord! My husband and I were believing God for a house with no mortgage. Whenever we would share that with people, they would always act as if it were impossible, but we stood on God’s word in Deut. 6:10-11. At the beginning of 2009 a relative passed away and left us a house, DEBT FREE! We recently renovated and moved into our house and now have disposable income to invest in our children (in the form of education & extracurricular activities) and advance the Gospel of the kingdom. I was able to go Panama with the church on a missions trip this May, something I would not have been able to do if we had a house note! The Word Works! Kelvin & Aja McClanahan

My husband and I decided to purchase a new home with the earnest expectation that our current home would sell without any hesitation. We hired a faith-filled real estate agent and put the house on the market. We confessed Psalms 37:18-19 “… in the days of famine, they shall be satisfied.” We stayed on our confession and an offer came in about a month after we listed our home for sale. Nevertheless, the buyer was unable to secure financing and we were left with the possibility of two hefty mortgage payments. However, we continued to confess the Word of God and eventually were able to rent our home for the entire mortgage payment without any advertisement at all. After two years, we were once again faced with the possibility of two mortgage payments and we started right back on our confessions. On the day that our current renter was moving out, we came in contact with a young woman who loved our house and wanted to rent it long-term. We have been blessed by the favor of God! To God be the Glory! Ernest & Tanya Roberts

When Pastor mentioned purchasing the airplane, we immediately began giving every week out of our paychecks. Then, when Pastor told everyone to take a red envelope and believe God for $1,000, I didn’t because we were already giving. Every week we heard testimonies of how God was filling the envelopes supernaturally. Then, one Sunday Pastor said, “I told you all you have to do is take a red envelope, put it somewhere you can see it, and believe God to fill it. You don’t have to take any money from your paycheck or savings account, just believe God!” So, we decided to stop giving from our paychecks and believe God for a $1,000 seed. I stuck the envelope on the refrigerator and spoke to it every time I saw it. I told my husband and children to do the same. A few weeks went by and nothing happened. Then, Pastor announced that the airplane was purchased and thanked everyone for giving. He shared a testimony of a woman who had believed God for her seed and was now turning in her 3rd envelope. I thought surely if she can believe for three, I can believe for one. So, I kept believing and speaking to my envelope to be filled. The next week I received an unexpected check for nearly $5,000 and a few days later I received another unexpected check for over $2,000! God is faithful! If we will do our part, the Lord will always do his part. LaDonna Wright

Recently, I went to my physician for my routine physical exam, expecting nothing unusual. However, during the exam she discovered a sizable lump, well under the skin, under one arm. She told me that it needed to be removed as soon as possible and just to be safe she gave me the names of several surgeons. I was told to call one, make an appointment and return to her office for a follow-up exam about a month later. As I thought about this on the way home, I decreed and declared (Job 22:28) that I was healed and that this growth would soon be gone completely. Besides, I was healed by His stripes! That Sunday, I went up for prayer and Pastor Winston prayed over me, anointing me with oil. I knew all was well. Within several days, I noticed that the growth had gotten quite a bit smaller; in fact it was about one-half the original size! Within two weeks it was completely GONE! Praise God! When I went back to the doctor for my follow-up exam, my doctor asked me if I had the surgery. I told her that I hadn’t, and would she check to see how things were doing. To her complete surprise, she could not find a trace of the growth. I thank God for the Word! Nothing is impossible with Him! Glory to God! Hazel Stevens Castro

With in 24 hrs. a financial need was met! As a tither, made my requests known, I asked God to hook me up (thanks to a sister's testimony during Wed. service)! A relative suddenly decided to come to Chicago. This person whom I love (my dad) is not the easiest person to be around. Binding devils off his mind, speaking that he'll be different once he touches the Illinois border, GOD DID IT ALL! Pure Peace! To top it off, I didn't even know he would be used to financially bless me! Moton

On March 4, 2010, I went for my yearly mammogram. The test came back and I got a call from my doctor to come in and have an ultrasound performed. The ultrasound showed a mass on my left breast, on which they later scheduled a biopsy. While they were running the test on the biopsy, I received prayer on Wednesdays and Sundays. I began fasting and praying and standing on the Word of God. I meditated on I Peter 2:24; Psalm 103:4; and Jeremiah 30:17. On March 19th, I had a MRI done on my breast and lymph nodes to see if the mass had spread, however the MRI showed no mass and my lymph nodes were fine. Still, the doctors wanted me to get more treatment and to have surgery but I decided to trust the Lord. On March 31st, during the healing service, the Lord healed my body. I thank God for his Word, for Pastor Winston, a prophet of God, and for praying believers. I am Healed!! Glory to God!! Dorothy Stigall

Never give up on your children. Put them in the hands of the Lord and leave them there. I had been praying for years for God to deliver my drug dealer, gang banger son from the hand of the enemy. I was determined to stand on the Word of God no matter what it looked like or felt like. God gave me a strategy. He said, “send him to Oral Roberts University, I will provide and his gift will make room for him.” He graduated from ORU in 2005. After graduation, he worked for the Tulsa County Juvenile Department. He has recently moved back to Chicago totally delivered and sold out for Jesus Christ. He has completed Foundation classes and is currently attending Intercessory Prayer class. Now, he is known as Mr. B. Blessed and has a fan page on Facebook called “Follow Me As I Follow Christ.” Now, faith did that!!! Hallelujah! Tanya Thomas

A couple of weeks ago I had been praying and asking the Lord to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to me how to get my unclaimed blessings that are in Heaven. Well one particular night as I was praying, the Holy Spirit gave me the name Bill Winston. After following the leading of the Holy Spirit, I got my hands on the Law of Confession and need I say more. This book has shown me how to walk in my wealthy place. Praise God for Dr. Bill Winston Frances Knight Pinckney

I am currently in Bible School and I am eating, drinking and sleeping with the Word. One Sunday, I sowed a financial seed that I really needed to carry me through the next week. But, as Pastor always reminds us, if it doesn’t mean anything to you, it doesn’t mean anything to God. So, I sowed the amount God put in my heart and I wrote on the top of the check “TOMORROW.” I began to thank God for my seed coming back first (within 24 hours) and the harvest on my seed to follow. On Tuesday, I had less than 1/8th of a tank of gas in my car and I had sowed the money for it on Sunday. I heard the Holy Spirit tell me to use my faith to fill-up my tank. On Wednesday, I was speaking with a sister in Christ and just before we ended the call, she said the Lord spoke to her 2 days ago (that would be Monday the day after I sowed the seed) and told her to fill-up my gas tank. So, she told me to come on over and she would fill up the tank and would do that for the next few weeks if I needed her to. Now, somebody tell me what is it that faith can’t do? FAITH CAN DO ANYTHING!! TB

Pastor Winston:

Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ:

Pastor, I am enclosing a seed offering as a result of the Lord’s work in my life through your teaching ministry. I am a pastor and have been so for over 26 years. My first assignment (age 25) was at my home church. First Missionary Baptist Church, Decatur, Alabama, where I served as senior pastor for 8 years. After a thorough warfare wrestling with “aged-old” traditions I resigned the pastorate in March, 1991.

Five months later (August, 1991) the Lord provided me a second assignment, First Baptist Church, Hartselle, Alabama. After approximately 8 years in this assignment, and after seeing marvelous works of the Lord, the spirit of the Lord spoke to me and my wife and we were instructed to leave Alabama and move to Texarkana, Arkansas in January 2000. Needless to say I and the congregation were all crying because to leave this ministry assignment was not in my plan but I know now it was the will of God for Zella and my life.

Five months after arriving (May, 2000) the Lord provided me a third assignment, Eleventh Street Baptist Church. After approximately 8 years in the assignment (see a pattern here?{smile}); standing on the principles of the Word of God, I resigned the pastorate April, 2008. Pastor this was a very difficult decision for me as we were seeing the Lord truly renewing the minds of many in the congregation; breaking and uprooting traditions and bringing them into a closer and relevant relationship with the Lord; however, the leaders (i.e. Trustees and Deacons)…well, I won’t go into that as there’s no value there.

I’ve written this brief history to say, when I left ESBC, I was hurt, angry, and resentful, because I expected the people to stand with we…they were silent. While I was hurting; at the same time encouraged because the Lord gave me the courage to stand on His Word. Now, everything wasn’t crystal clear but I knew I had to stand (you know what I mean?)

For the next year and one-half, (like a fish out of water…I struggled wanting to give up the pastorate, but I couldn’t…I know now what Paul meant when he used the term “prisoner of the Lord”) my family and I would visit local churches; enjoyed some and others we didn’t. Local pastors would invite me to preach for them when they were out of town, etc. However, one Sunday struggling where we would go to church that day; I happened upon your web site (you know it wasn’t luck to discover your site, the Lord directed me to it) and it just happened to be the time of your live web cast…I listened. The next week the same thing; then I began viewing the Wednesday evening services.

I give all glory to our God, through your teaching ministry of the Word of God, the Word impregnated me and hence the launching of The “WORD” Church, March 7th, 2010. I could go on and on, but I just wanted you to know…being led by the Spirit of the Lord I am saying to you, “thank you brother…your labor in the Lord is not in vain!!!”

I view you today as a great man of God and quite frankly the “lifeline” the Lord provided to renew my mind through the Word of God…

So, I sow this seed today according to 2 Corinthians 9:10 “Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;”

The Lord has provided this seed and my wife and I sow it in the spirit of joy, thanksgiving and expectation…Amen, Amen, Amen! Pastor Madison C. Brown
