Bill Winston
Born in Tuskegee, Alabama, Dr. Winston was inspired and influenced for leadership by the numerous educators, scientists, and physicians who surrounded him as a youth, and by the historic aviation accomplishments of the Tuskegee Airmen who served as his role models. He is a graduate of the internationally known Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), in Tuskegee, Alabama, where Booker T. Washington’s and George Washington Carver’s legacies of leadership and invention permeated the environment.

The Faith and Love Connection - Bill Winston Weekly Devotional. For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. (Galatians 5:6 AMPC) DEVOTIONAL: It takes strong, unshakeable faith to possess what God has promised us and to reach our destiny. The promises of God are not automatic. We have to fight the good fight of faith to receive our inheritance and to possess our mountain (1 Timothy 6:12). And your faith won’t work without love. You have to “stay on the love line.”

Bill Winston - Weekly Devotional: What Is the Kingdom of God?
SCRIPTURE:
for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Romans 14:17)
DEVOTIONAL:
What Is the Kingdom of God?
I describe the kingdom of God this way: It’s about a new government or sovereign kingdom where God rules; a self-contained kingdom first established on Earth in people’s hearts (Luke 17:21). It operates by superior principles from a superior position, and is a new order of living by faith.

Bill Winston - Weekly Devotional: You Are Chosen
SCRIPTURE:
You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting (John 15:16 AMPC)
DEVOTIONAL:
You Are Chosen
As God’s sons and daughters, we have been placed on the earth to influence and change the parts of our culture that are out of alignment with God’s laws. He has called and chosen us to take His kingdom into a lost and hurting world by planting us in one of the seven mountains or spheres of influence that shape a society: media, government, arts and entertainment, family, religion, business, and education.

DEVOTIONAL:
Favor and God’s End-Time Church
As I’ve mentioned before, God intended for the Church (the Body of Christ) to manage this earth, and you and I have been sent here at this particular time for this assignment. Psalm 102:13 says, “Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.”
