Main Theme

This episode centers on the believer’s God-given authority and dominion in Christ—specifically, how victory is expressed through continual celebration, regardless of circumstances. Pastor Nancy Dufresne, joined by Pastor Noel, unpacks the biblical foundation for living in dominion, the necessity of skillful use of spiritual authority, and the critical role of joy and celebration in defeating opposition. The message urges believers not just to "know" their authority but to exercise and demonstrate it, especially through praise, celebration, and teaching others to do the same.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. God’s Design: Dominion for Humanity

• Scripture Foundation: Psalm 8:4–6 & Romans 5:17
• Man was made “a little lower than Elohim (God),” to have “dominion over the works of God’s hands.”
• "It’s not appropriate for us to not walk in what we’re made for. And we have to become skillful in what we’re made for. And that is to have dominion." —Nancy Dufresne (01:31)
• Dominion is not about dominating others, but about refusing to be dominated by circumstances, opposition, or the enemy.

2. Dominion vs. Personality

• Dominion is a spiritual force, not a personal trait.
• "Just because someone’s opinionated does not mean they’re walking in dominion. Dominion is a spiritual force that flows from the inner being of man." —Pastor Noel (04:38)

3. The Master Key: Daily Exercising Authority

• The name of Jesus empowers believers to exercise dominion.
• Daily, consistent use develops spiritual skill:
  "It’s a daily, consistent exercise of our dominion that will bring us to a place of skill..." —Nancy Dufresne (03:17)

4. Dominion Unlocks Every Other Inheritance

• Healing, prosperity, peace—all are tied to whether we are walking in our authority.
• "If you’re in dominion, all those are at your command." —Pastor Noel (03:57)

5. Living with the "Last Word"

• Believers can't always choose what shows up but can determine the outcome (08:55).
• Nancy shares her testimony of choosing the outcome after her husband's passing:
  "I was the one that determined how that affected me. The intended outcome, it failed in its purpose..." —Nancy Dufresne (09:12)

6. Revelation from Dad Hagin

• There is spiritual authority most Christians don’t realize or use (05:45).
• "Before Jesus comes again, there’s going to be a whole company...who will rise up with the authority that is theirs. They will know what is theirs, and they will do the work that God intended..." (06:24)

7. Ignorance vs. Knowledge: The Real Battle

• Many live below their rights due to lack of knowledge, not lack of power (16:09).
• "Little truth, little freedom. Great truth, great freedom." —Nancy Dufresne (16:16)

8. Celebration: The Sound of Authority

• Quoting 2 Corinthians 2:14; Coneybeare translation:
  "God leads me on from place to place in the train of his triumph to celebrate his victory over the enemies of Christ..." —Nancy Dufresne (21:26)
• Proper response to opposition is not worry, but celebration:
  "When something opposes you, what’s the proper response? Celebrate. Celebration is the proper response." —Pastor Noel (22:22)
• Worrying is yielding dominion to the negative.

9. Corporate vs. Individual Faith

• Celebrate both in church and at home, not just in a crowd (72:34).

10. Practical Expressions of Celebration

• Singing, dancing, shouting, and praising are physical expressions of inward celebration and authority (40:13).
• Story: Smith Wigglesworth jumped out of bed & danced for 10 minutes daily (43:09).

11. Teach and Preach Deliverance, Not Just Prayer

• Deliverance often comes not by prayer alone, but by teaching people their authority.
  "Preach deliverance to the captives. Not pray deliverance..." —Nancy Dufresne (59:11)
• Testimonies: stories of knowledge setting people free.

12. The Importance of Staying "In Line"

• Who you “hook up with” in your Christian walk matters—stay with those who celebrate and know their authority, not those who depart in offense or carnality (28:32).

13. Impartation for Ministers

• A special impartation for ministers is discussed, particularly for the skillful utterance of revelation about believer’s authority (80:09).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Authority:
  “You cannot be neutral when circumstances show up. It demands something of you.” —Nancy Dufresne (42:33)

• On Celebration as Warfare:
  “There’s nothing you can’t praise your way out of.” —Lillian B. Yeomans (73:35)
  “Who would have known that winning battles was as easy as celebrating?” —Nancy Dufresne (70:55)

• On Ignorance:
  “The only place [the devil] can work is where ignorance lives. Stupid means an inability to learn. But ignorance means not even positioning themselves to hear the right thing.” —Nancy Dufresne (18:49)

• On Victory Mindset:
  “When something opposes you…we know you’re defeated. We know you’re defeated!” —Pastor Noel (23:33)

Ministers (and all believers) are called to “preach deliverance to the captives,” equipping others with the knowledge that sets free.

4. Hook Up with the Victors:
Stay connected to “triumph train” believers—those who model celebration and faith, especially in adversity.

5. Stir Up Celebration:
Intentionally stir yourself up in joy, song, and praise, just as you would stir up other spiritual gifts.

6. Apply It First to Yourself:
Preach to yourself as you would to others—remind yourself daily of who you are and what you have in Christ.

Tone

Uplifting, passionate, insistent, and full of practical holy boldness and encouragement. The message is delivered in a direct-yet-loving pastoral tone, with frequent “Amens” and affirmations, humor, and real-life application.

For those seeking to not just “get by” but to live triumphantly, this episode teaches: Know your authority, celebrate your victory, and never settle for living beneath what Christ has provided—because celebration is both the proof and the path of victory.

Transcript

[Nancy Dufresne]

Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message. Last night we began ministering, and we're going to pick up there again tonight. Psalms chapter 8. Turn with us, if you would. How many of you know, it doesn't get old to see more and to have watered what we know. Amen. Psalm chapter 8 and verse 4. Psalm chapter 8, verse 4. And it reads, what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the Son of man that thou visitest him for? God has made him a little lower than the angels. And as we said last night, the word there for angels is Elohim. So it's speaking of God, not angels.

[Pastor Noel]

For thou has made him a little.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Lower than himself.

[Pastor Noel]

And has crowned man with glory and honor. God made him to have dominion over.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The works of his hands. Thou hast put all things under his feet. And so this. This statement just rings in me that.

[Pastor Noel]

He made man to have dominion. And it's not appropriate for us to.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Not walk in what we're made for. And we have to become skillful in what we're made for. And that is to have dominion.

[Pastor Noel]

And to have dominion means you're going to dominate. Because if you don't dominate, you will be dominated. Because something's going to dominate. Something's going to take the lead.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In every situation, in every circumstance, in.

[Pastor Noel]

Every challenge of life, something is going.

[Nancy Dufresne]

To take the lead.

[Pastor Noel]

And it might as well be you, the one who was made to be in the lead.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

And people will read this. Well, you know that, you know, just.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Whatever Jesus said, that's not what this verse says. You were made to have dominion.

[Pastor Noel]

Yes, we know Jesus has dominion, but because we are the body of. Of the head, the headship exercises his dominion through the body.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And so we can't just say, well.

[Pastor Noel]

You know, whatever will be, will be whatever Jesus wants. Well, we do know what Jesus wants. He told us he wants man to have dominion. That's what we're made for.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That's what fits us. And anything less than that is not appropriate for us. We were not made to be dominated, pushed around by circumstances, pushed around by opposition. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

And I'm not referring to other people.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I'm referring to circumstances of your life. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

We know Adam lost that dominion, but Jesus came and gave it back.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen. And the name of Jesus is the.

[Pastor Noel]

Master key that causes our dominion to work.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen. It's a daily, consistent exercise of our dominion that will bring us to a Place of skill that sets the right flow, the momentum of the right flow in our lives. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

And it's part of our inheritance. You know, thank God that healing is.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Part of our inheritance and prosperity and joy and peace.

[Pastor Noel]

But dominion is a large part of our inheritance because the other things that.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Belong to us in Christ are connected.

[Pastor Noel]

To whether or not we're walking in.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Our dominion or not.

[Pastor Noel]

So we were made for dominion. Notice it doesn't say we were made for prosperity. We were made for healing. We were made for miracles. Because if you're in dominion, all those are at your command.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

And so dominion puts us in a.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Position of commanding, and it's up to us to command. And it's not based on personality. This is not a personality thing. This is not about a person who's very assertive in their natural temperament. That has nothing to do with this.

[Pastor Noel]

So just because someone's opinionated does not mean they're walking in dominion.

[Nancy Dufresne]

These are two different things. Dominion is a spiritual force that flows from the inner being of man.

[Pastor Noel]

It's not a personality characteristic.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It's not something when someone is very assertive and they take charge of things. That's not what this is talking about.

[Pastor Noel]

This is a dominion that flows. It's a shared dominion that flows from the head, through the body of Christ and into the circumstances and conditions of our lives.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the Lord. And it is our responsibility, but not.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Only that, our privilege to become skillful at this. Amen. Dad Hagin stated this, and I want to read this. When he stated this, he said, back in the 1940s, I asked myself this question. Do we have authority that we don't know about, that we haven't discovered and that we're not using?

[Pastor Noel]

I had had little glimpses of spiritual authority once in a while. Like others, I had stumbled upon it.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And exercised it without knowing what I was doing.

[Pastor Noel]

I wondered, is the spirit of God.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Trying to show me something? So I began to study along this line, think along this line, feed along this line.

[Pastor Noel]

And I began to see more and more light that we as a church have authority on the earth that we've.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Never yet realized, authority that we're not using.

[Pastor Noel]

A few of us have barely gotten.

[Nancy Dufresne]

To the edge of that authority. But before Jesus comes again, now see, now he's talking to us.

[Pastor Noel]

But before Jesus comes again, there's going to be a whole company, a whole company of believers. He didn't say there's going to be.

[Nancy Dufresne]

All believers, a whole company of believers.

[Pastor Noel]

Who will rise up with the authority that is theirs. They will know what is theirs, and they will do the work that God.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Intended that they should do. So my thing is, why not us decide that? We will delve into these things, and.

[Pastor Noel]

We will not leave them laying on.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The shelf to be admired.

[Pastor Noel]

We'll not just leave it laying in our Bible, but we'll bring these things off the pages of the Word and put them in our hearts and put them in our lives, and put them in our doing, and put them in our mouth and start taking charge of.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That which is under that dominion.

[Pastor Noel]

We won't overreach, but let's reach fully. Amen. Praise the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

So turn with me to Romans, chapter five. You can bring my house down a little bit, please. The volume on that for me, please. Because I don't want to blow y' all out by my getting.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Not that much, brother.

[Pastor Noel]

I was just really saying that to be gracious.

[Nancy Dufresne]

No, I'm teasing.

[Pastor Noel]

Romans, chapter 5, verse 17.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Romans 5, verse 17. For if by one man's offense, talking of Adam, death reigned by one. Because of what? Because of Adam?

[Pastor Noel]

Much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness. Who's that talking about?

[Nancy Dufresne]

That's us. Righteousness is a gift.

[Pastor Noel]

It's not something earned.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It's Jesus righteousness made ours.

[Pastor Noel]

And the gift of righteousness, what shall.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Happen shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ.

[Pastor Noel]

So we're to reign and rule over circumstances that come against us. That means we're to have the last word.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The last word stands.

[Pastor Noel]

We can't determine always what shows up.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But we can determine the outcome of what shows up.

[Pastor Noel]

We are the ones who determine how.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Something that challenges and oppose us, the effect it has on us.

[Pastor Noel]

Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I was the one when my husband unexpectedly went home to be with the Lord. I was the one that determined how that affected me. And I want you to know that the intended outcome, it failed in its purpose. It did not derail the message, it.

[Pastor Noel]

Did not derail the ministry.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It did not derail the plan.

[Pastor Noel]

Amen. Why? Because we choose the outcome of anything.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That comes against us.

[Pastor Noel]

We choose why we're in dominion. We dominate what shows up.

[Nancy Dufresne]

My mother used to say to us, you can start anything with me that you're big enough to let me finish.

[Pastor Noel]

In other words, you may think you're going to roll your eyes and start.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Something, but I will finish what happens with your ey.

[Pastor Noel]

So she said, you can start anything. You're big enough to let me finish. And that has to be the mentality.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And this is what dominion gives us.

[Pastor Noel]

No matter what is started against us, we are authorized to determine the outcome. And every opposition, every circumstance that comes.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Against us that did not come from God.

[Pastor Noel]

We are the ones who determine and demonstrate the authority. We're not waiting for God to do something about that. We're not waiting for God to intervene. God authorizes us to stand up and declare what it will be.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And it's not based on feeling, and.

[Pastor Noel]

It'S not based on feeling things.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It's based on our position and our seat of authority that we've been raised to. Amen. So we determine the outcome. When my husband left the earth, I knew this. The plan of God didn't leave with him.

[Pastor Noel]

When people, people will come into your life, people will leave your lives, but.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The plan of God and what you were made for remains intact. Keep living it. Don't lay down anything of what God authored for you. For someone who does not value what you value, love what you love, hold to what you hold to.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You know, in a king's realm, his word is final. His word is final in his realm. Now, his word has no bearing in other realms, but in his realm, it's the last word.

[Pastor Noel]

And obedience is not.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Or disobedience is not an option. If the king enforces the word. Yeah. It's our job to enforce the dominion that is ours. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

So as I said last night, we.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Are authorized to live as though we have no enemy because he is subject to us. Jesus made us Master. This has to dawn on you here.

[Pastor Noel]

It has to dawn on you here.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That comes through saying it, meditating it, using that dominion every time it's confronted every time. And let me tell you this, it's confronted daily. Why?

[Pastor Noel]

Because your mind has thoughts daily.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

Even if you never left your house that day, never got out of bed.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That day, something's going to confront your authority every single day.

[Pastor Noel]

So what is it that where people.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Miss it, they're ignorant of what is theirs and they lay down and they permit things.

[Pastor Noel]

Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Even God's people living in bondage that.

[Pastor Noel]

Were made for authority, made for dominion, and they're living as slaves.

[Nancy Dufresne]

To things of the flesh, things of the world, things of the devil. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

And that doesn't need to be.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You know, when people get permissive towards carnal things.

[Pastor Noel]

Well, you know, it doesn't hurt to.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Drink wine, you know, I mean, I'm not an alcoholic. What's the big deal? It's not about what you drink. It's about what can enslave you again once you've been made free.

[Pastor Noel]

Don't ever open yourself up to anything.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That can turn you into its subject. That's the wrongness of it.

[Pastor Noel]

Jesus paid everything for you to never be enslaved again and for you to willingly, in your mind, permit. And not just that, that's just one weak example.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Worry will do the same thing.

[Pastor Noel]

Fear will do the same thing. This is my thing with pastor. Having pastored for 25 years, most people.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Who are really, really pushed around by fear have no idea they are.

[Pastor Noel]

They have no idea they are because it has become such a companion of their thought life, such a companion of their ways of operating. They don't even recognize that fear is.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Making, is doing their thinking for them.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the Lord. So when we come into the understanding.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Of dominion, the Holy Ghost will start spotlighting things that had been pushing you.

[Pastor Noel]

Around that you thought were just part.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Of life and they shouldn't even be.

[Pastor Noel]

Part of your realm.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

So the devil holds people in bondage through ignorance.

[Nancy Dufresne]

When people are ignorant of things that are tripping them up, the devil doesn't want you to know these things.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the Lord. So if we have authority, and we do have authority, then why are so.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Many Christians tripping up over things?

[Pastor Noel]

Why are they living in bondage to wrong things?

[Nancy Dufresne]

Either they don't know it, they don't believe it, or they just don't exercise it. Amen. John, chapter 8 and verse 32, Jesus made this statement, you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

[Pastor Noel]

Right?

[Nancy Dufresne]

So we could say this.

[Pastor Noel]

People will only live free to the.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Measure of the truth. They know. Little truth, little freedom, great truth, great freedom.

[Pastor Noel]

Many think they need more freedom.

[Nancy Dufresne]

When they really need more truth, they.

[Pastor Noel]

Really need to say, instead of saying, God set me free from this, God set me free from this. They need to come to church to.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Say, pastor, teach me, teach me.

[Pastor Noel]

This is where I'm missing it. Because the truth makes you free. The truth you get in you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Not just the truth you can parrot.

[Pastor Noel]

And not just the truth that is.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Preached at the church you attend, but the truth you get in you, you shall know. Not just the pastor know it, you shall know the truth.

[Pastor Noel]

That's God's plan for all of his people, that they know the truth for themselves. Not their wife knows it, their husband.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Knows it, not the department head knows.

[Pastor Noel]

It, but you know it. And you are living the measure of.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Freedom based on your measure of truth to increase your freedom, increase the truth you know. People say, I've Done everything I know to do and nothing's changing. You just need to know more.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Hallelujah. Hosea4.6 says my people are destroyed. For what? Lack of knowledge? Yeah. Notice the devil's not mentioned in that destroying factor. God's not mentioned. The devil's not the problem. It's wrong thinking about Him. Amen. God cannot work through ignorance. He is not a participator with ignorance. He's a participator with knowledge and truth and wisdom and understanding. So this must be our flow so that God can work. We have to know some things. Amen. The devil is counting on ignorance to work his plan. The only place he can work is where ignorance lives. Now, don't call. Don't think I'm calling people stupid. Stupid means an inability to learn. But ignorance means not even positioning themselves to hear the right thing.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the Lord. And when we're ignorant, the devil takes.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Advantage of their ignorance. Yeah. Go with me now to second Corinthians, chapter two. Two Corinthians, chapter two. And we're going to start in verse 14. You shall know the truth. Remember that. And the truth that you know shall make you free. The truth you know. Second Corinthians, chapter 2, verse 14.

[Pastor Noel]

Now, thanks. This is the King James. Now, thanks. Be unto God, which always, always.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Always.

[Pastor Noel]

That huge inclusive word always causes us.

[Nancy Dufresne]

To triumph.

[Pastor Noel]

God causes us. Not our own works cause us, but God causes us to triumph in Christ because we're in Christ. And maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place. So how does he bring knowledge to every place by us? He uses us to get his knowledge in every place. Verse 15. For we are unto God a sweet savor. Christ in them that are saved and.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In them that perish. I'm going to read to you the Coney Bear translation.

[Pastor Noel]

I doubt you're carrying that with you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Tonight.

[Pastor Noel]

But this is so good.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You don't want to miss this wording, so just listen carefully.

[Pastor Noel]

But thanks be to God, who leads.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Me on from place to place in.

[Pastor Noel]

The train of his triumph.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Listen to this.

[Pastor Noel]

To celebrate his victory over the enemies of Christ. He's not talking about people. He's talking about demons. Listen to this. I got to read it again. God leads me on from place to place in the train of his triumph. To do what? To celebrate. To celebrate. To celebrate his victory over the enemies of Christ. And by me, talking about by men. He sends forth the knowledge of Christ. A steam of fragrant incense throughout the world. For Christ's fragrance is the fragrance which.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I offer up to God.

[Pastor Noel]

What does he call fragrance?

[Nancy Dufresne]

Us celebrating.

[Pastor Noel]

Us Celebrating his victory that he made ours. The truth. You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Being in the seat of authority and dominion that we are in, how do we behave? This tells us the behavior of someone in Christ. They're celebrating. They are celebrating Jesus victory over his enemies. This is why so many people live bound. They don't know. And their dominion is authorizing them to celebrate that. When something opposes you, what's the proper response? Celebrate. Celebration is the proper response. What are we celebrating? We know you're defeated. We know you're defeated. We know you're defeated.

[Congregation Member]

Hallelujah.

[Pastor Noel]

That's what we're celebrating. Celebrating what he made for us. Victory. So if we become worried when something shows up, I owe so much money.

[Nancy Dufresne]

By the end of the month, Pastor.

[Pastor Noel]

If we become worried, we have just laid down our dominion to worry. We let worry dominate when we don't celebrate. When a bill unexpectedly shows up, it didn't catch God off guard. It might have caught you off guard just because your car broke down and you didn't know it was going to break down. He already, already, already, already fully provided.

[Nancy Dufresne]

For everything that is going to show.

[Pastor Noel]

Up in your life.

[Nancy Dufresne]

One of the main flows of authority and dominion is to celebrate. That's one of the main job descriptions of someone in authority. It's not just going around rebuking. Don't misunderstand me.

[Pastor Noel]

There is a flow of that, but there's just some things, once you move into a greater understanding, you even stop running around rebuking stuff because you know your celebration is the rebuke. It is the positive side of rebuke. You stayed on the positive. You didn't get on the negative. You didn't get all entrenched up here with what was coming against you. But I just got to deal with the devil. Well, deal with him then celebrate. I got it. But thanks be to God, who leads me on from place to place, from circumstance to circumstance, season of life to season of life, from place to place.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In our life.

[Pastor Noel]

He leads us on.

[Nancy Dufresne]

From place to place in the train of triumph. We've joined the triumphant train.

[Pastor Noel]

You ever seen people, I don't even know the right wording when they do the. They hook onto conga line, a divine conga line. And I've never seen someone do the conga line. And they're just, oh my God, no. Even if no matter what circumstance, they all just talking about they sarcasm, they put their hand on it. God started the conga line. Thanks be to God who leads me.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I'm not.

[Pastor Noel]

You're not at the front of the conga line, so don't worry. Just follow the one in front. You don't have to know where to go, what to do, because you're just hooked on the one in front.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He knows.

[Pastor Noel]

Just go celebrate your way from place to place. Place to place. That's what it says. He leads me on. From place to place in a conga line. He leads me on. He leads me on. Quit stopping at opposition. Quit stopping there and admiring it and letting it stop your pace. We're in the race. In a race, it's inappropriate to stomp. Sit down, say, I'm tired.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Nope, nope, nope, nope. You saw the Olympics?

[Pastor Noel]

No.

[Nancy Dufresne]

No.

[Pastor Noel]

You didn't get to the Olympics sitting.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Down on the side. Just.

[Pastor Noel]

My side hurts. No.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Get yourself. They run. They are so hard on their bodies. They are so hard for a gold medal.

[Pastor Noel]

We are not. Our race is a conga line.

[Congregation Member]

It's a conga line.

[Pastor Noel]

So it does matter who you're running with and who you've hooked onto, because if they're not rejoicing, they can't in front of you. They can't lead you into where God is going.

[Nancy Dufresne]

They unhooked from the conga line. My mother read me a story once. She said, nancy, I got to read you this. I guess she read it in the newspaper that a woman attended a funeral. And I don't know if it's still the same. Now, California, you don't really see this too much. They will do it, but they'll do a processional, you know, after the. After the funeral to the grave site.

[Pastor Noel]

Do they do that out here?

[Nancy Dufresne]

Okay, so it's still a big thing. You know, California, you know, freeways, and it's just not a good idea. They may still do it. I don't know. But there in Oklahoma, a woman went to a funeral and she got in the processional afterwards, go to the grave site and got, you know, they're distanced from it. And she gets partway through, and she goes, I don't have time. So she just takes the next exit.

[Pastor Noel]

And everybody followed her off. Everybody. And she got. She realized, oh, my gosh, I broke the line. So she realizes the rest of the. Of the processional is following her off the exit to go to her house. So she jumps out of her car and says, no, go. She's trying to point him. Get back on the freeway. The highway. Get back on it doesn't matter who you're following. What do they know if they don't know to celebrate? Will they lead you into celebration? It matters. It's life and death, what church you go to. It's life and death that you don't unhook and take the nearest exit of your flesh. The nearest exit of offense, the nearest exit of strife. You just can't take what's offered you just because it showed up in view. I've got to chill on Pastor Ruby. Pastor Noel and Pastor Ruby are here. Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up. I call her the Filipino Princess.

[Nancy Dufresne]

All right, sit down.

[Pastor Noel]

But it is so fun.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Going with them is like a conga line.

[Pastor Noel]

He's the Uber driver to all the places we go to.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He. He's Uber to top. He's.

[Pastor Noel]

What is it?

[Nancy Dufresne]

He's an Uber comer.

[Pastor Noel]

What is it? What else? What is Uber joy to do it.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He's Uber joyed to do it.

[Pastor Noel]

It's not Uber yet. So I say again, he does what Uber? You say, he does what Uber, I say. And it was funny. Pastor J came out. Well, see Pastor Noel, bless his heart, because we went, like, on last week.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We got home on Monday and then left again on Friday to come out here. But we had five churches or five different locations we went to in, I don't know, about 18 days before we came here. And so this man has to come to the hotel room, haul my luggage down, haul his luggage down, haul down all the gifts. Because people are so generous to me, you know, and generous to them. And so he.

[Pastor Noel]

He's got bags, he's got baskets, he's got everything falling off the cart, you know, and he's got. We got deadlines. Hurry up, hon. Come on, hon. You know, it's just like, hurry up. And he's got to tend to us. And so Pastor Jay showed up at.

[Nancy Dufresne]

One of the meetings we were doing recently, and he said, oh, I'm glad.

[Pastor Noel]

You'Re here, you know? Cause now he's got two men in.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The car instead of just him with us two ladies. And he said, you know, he said. Said Adam said, you know, when he sinned, oh, God, it was this man. It was this woman you gave me. He said, I don't say that. I say, God, it's these women you gave me.

[Pastor Noel]

And he said. And then he said he'd been saying that for a little while.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And then he came to me on.

[Pastor Noel]

This last trip and says, I must.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Correct my confession, Pastor. He said.

[Pastor Noel]

Because I realized that after Adam said, it's this woman you gave me. He got kicked out of the garden. He said, I don't want to get kicked out. So he said, I'm not going to stay in Adam's garden. I'm going to go on with Jesus because he had rich women that followed.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Him and funded him.

[Pastor Noel]

He said, so that's what I'm going to say, that you women are funding me. And I said, well, what you're really saying is what, Richer than you. But I don't want to get technical. Okay, Now I'm going to get back on.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I got to use Pastor Ruby for this.

[Pastor Noel]

Talking about just because you're in the.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Line, the triumphal, triumphant line, don't follow when somebody gets out of line.

[Pastor Noel]

You're to follow the lead, not the.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Person in front of you.

[Pastor Noel]

The lead. Because when you watch Pastor Ruby read.

[Nancy Dufresne]

A GPS screen, I'm just telling you, Pastor Noel hooks up his phone. It comes up on this big screen in the car, and he's going down.

[Pastor Noel]

The road, and there's all these roads, and she goes, hon, turn here, turn, turn here. I said, pastor Ruby is just showing.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That there's a road there.

[Pastor Noel]

It's not showing.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That's our turn.

[Pastor Noel]

So every time you see a road come, turn, turn, turn. No, I said, you see all the roads turning off the. Ours is the blue line. We're following the blue line. So she said sees every little turnoff as our route. It's not our route. There are a lot of people who see every little offense as their route. Every little thing is their route. You're leaving your line of authority. Read. Read the map right. You're following the lead. Not just the people in front of you. You, not just the people that you know and love and see. I love them still. But if they don't follow the lead, my honor is to the lead. But thanks be to God who leads. God who leads. Not family, who leads. Not relatives, who lead. Not jobs, who lead not income come not salaries, who lead. Not price, who leads. So many are led by price. But thanks be to God who leads. Thanks be to God who leads me.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The person I'm joined with is not leading me. Ultimately, ultimately it's up there and I stay hooked up as long as they're hooked up to what I'm hooked up to.

[Pastor Noel]

But if they leave, I have no.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Obligation to leave with them because I know whose ultimate lead I'm following. But thanks be to God who leads me on from place to place. I love that every place is a.

[Pastor Noel]

God, is to be a God.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Led place. Who leads me on from place to place in the train of his triumph. It is a winning path, and I love this. He leads us from place to place to celebrate. To celebrate his victory over the enemies of Christ. That's amazing. That's the sound of authority, is celebration. In the face of a foe that's been defeated. It is wrong to not celebrate because it shows we've forgotten or we never made it ours. In here, we aren't to fear, we aren't to tremble. We aren't to worry, we're not to doubt. We're to celebrate. Those who know the right thing celebrate. If you're not celebrating, I don't point at you, I say good news. There's more to know. There's just more to know. Until every day is a celebration day. Every day may not offer circumstances of celebration, but you know what your response is to every day. It's a celebration day when you know the right thing. And it's like what Brother Joel was talking about this morning. You think the right way. And when you think the right way, it ends you up at his flow, which is a flow of celebration. Because no matter what happens, you know you're already defeated. I don't care how many times you show up.

[Pastor Noel]

Cannot the person come with a package to your door and they have the.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Address wrong and they come to your door and knock and you say, that's not my package.

[Pastor Noel]

The longer they knock doesn't make the package more yours. It doesn't matter how long something shows up and hammers on your head, hammers on your finances, hammers on your body, it doesn't make it more yours. The longer it stays, it's still not yours. And when you know that, you're not frightened by what's knocking. Praise the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Now it says that God leads us from place to place to celebrate. Then people ought to know that you're celebrating because this looks not the celebration countenance. Amen. Faith has a look. You can see it on people's face. I've heard people in all the years of ministry say the right thing, but the look was wrong. The face didn't reflect the words and the confession that was coming out.

[Pastor Noel]

Thank God they're saying it. But I know this.

[Nancy Dufresne]

There's more you need to know because.

[Pastor Noel]

This doesn't show celebration.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Yet. When you celebrate, there's outwards, outward expressions.

[Pastor Noel]

That show up right. Singing, it's a celebration sound, Dancing, it's a celebration action, Shouting it's a celebration flow. Praising all of that is celebration. That's appropriate for our Father. Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

They're expressions of celebration.

[Pastor Noel]

Dad Goodwin.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Made this statement on one occasion.

[Pastor Noel]

Said that whenever I ran into a financial need, he said I would go.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In the office, shut the door and start dancing. Why celebration?

[Pastor Noel]

He danced the money.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In.

[Pastor Noel]

Celebrate your answer.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In.

[Pastor Noel]

Celebrate your healing. In celebrate the wisdom you need.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In Amen. Some of you just looking at me like.

[Pastor Noel]

But I'm just telling you, you don't have to live the rest of your life looking that way.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Let this dawn. Let this dawn here. When you never have to go to bed fearful again.

[Pastor Noel]

You never have to wake up in.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The middle of night tormented with something.

[Pastor Noel]

Just hanging on your head and your life just falling apart.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Doesn't ever have to be that way again. It's your choice. It's your choice. I set before you life, death, blessing, cursing. God cheated for you. He gave you the answer, a divine cheat.

[Pastor Noel]

He can.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He wrote the book so he can.

[Pastor Noel]

Put whatever answer in it he wants.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And I'm just telling you tonight, the way you choose is by whether you celebrate or not.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the Lord. If you're not going to celebrate, you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Have to do something else. You must.

[Pastor Noel]

It's not an option. You have to either go into fear, worry something, because you cannot be.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You cannot be neutral when circumstances show up. It demands something of you.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Dr. Sumrall asked Smith Wigglesworth, I love the question. I thought, what a great question. He asked smith Wigglesworth. When Dr. Sumrall was a young man, he said to him, he said, how do you wake up in the morning? I thought, what a great question. And Smith Wigglesworth said, I jump out of bed and I dance for 10 minutes before the Lord. What's he doing? Celebrating.

[Pastor Noel]

He knows something. He's setting his day. He's joining the conga line that day. Praise the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I love something, Brother Joel stated. And I know I'm paraphrasing it because I didn't get. Get it exactly word for word, but I hope I got the intent of it. He said, the New Testament emphasis is not about getting God to do something for us. The New Testament emphasis is us knowing and seeing who we are, what we.

[Pastor Noel]

Have and what we can do. That's what the New Testament is constantly pointing us towards and religion has pointed us toward. God, do something. God, do something. God, do something. Lack of knowledge.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

Those who know and see that who we are, and that's what Paul prayed.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That you would know, that you would know these things, who you are in.

[Prayer Leader]

Christ.

[Pastor Noel]

And those who know and see.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The most celebrate the most. They do. They celebrate the most. They're joyful.

[Pastor Noel]

And I've told Web said that one of the reasons, one of the reasons.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The Ramos says go with me is because they're fun.

[Pastor Noel]

If you're not fun, you can't go. There's too much luggage to haul for you not to be fun about it. If you're going to grow up about it, you don't go. That's just part of the trip. If you got to get up because, I mean, we got up what I got up at 3:45 to come on this trip. If you're going to gripe about it, stay home. If you can't find fun in the plan of God, I guarantee you the.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Devil will offer you something not near as fun.

[Pastor Noel]

And I tell you what, we ought to be the funnest people. Absolutely. Having a good time.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Having a good time.

[Pastor Noel]

Having a good time. You can't have a good time. Stay home. You're not invited.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Right. Those who know the most celebrate the most. You measure your knowing by looking at your life of celebration. Is every day a joy? Every day is a joy by decision, not by circumstance. I choose to draw on the joy that's mine. I choose to make the joy bigger than the circumstance.

[Pastor Noel]

In my day today. Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

When my husband, around the time my husband went home to be with the Lord, there was a gal that was in his church years ago. She was. Oh, she would have been in her late 40s at the time, but for several years she had been. She had very serious physical conditions, multiples. And she suffered quite a lot. And about two to three weeks after he went home to be with the Lord, she was on her deathbed in her late 40s. And one night she said, I don't know if I died or if I just dreamed it, but she said one night she said, I found myself walking toward the city, city gates. She said I was in heaven walking toward the city gates. And she says I was so glad to because she had suffered much. And she said I was so glad.

[Pastor Noel]

To be nearing the gates and I.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Was running up to them. And she said, and when I started coming near them, there was like a force field holding me back that would not allow me to enter. And she said, and Ed had been her pastor years ago when she was a young girl and said there at the gate was. And said. He said to me, it's not time for you to come yet. Go back. And he said, tell Nancy this. And he said two things to Tell me. And the second thing that he said was, tell Nancy to run her race with joy. You run your race with joy because you know something. Not because you feel something, but because you know something. Of all the things that heaven could have wanted us here to know, it talked about how we run. Don't you find it interesting? Of all the things that heaven could have said to earth, to someone on earth, what it talked about was how we run the race. He didn't say, tell Nancy to finish her race. He said, tell her to run it with joy. Why? Because with joy is how you get through every obstacle, everything that's going to be encountered.

[Pastor Noel]

Joy is the leap over it.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Jesus said this. He said, behold, I give you power or authority to tread on serpents, scorpions, and over all, the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Now, people quote that last part all the time. Nothing shall by any means hurt me. That's written to those who are treading on serpents and scorpions. Because I know a lot of Christians that are being hurt. They're being hurt by sickness and disease. They're being hurt. Hurt by lack. They're being hurt by strife and offense. Why? Because they're not treading on serpent. They're not walking in their authority. So it's for someone walking there in their authority that nothing will hurt those who are moving in their authority. Why? Because authority forbids it. Jesus said, I give you authority to tread on. Tread on. When I looked it up, tread on. You know what it meant? Step over it didn't mean that the thing's going to be leaving you alone. You step over it and you keep going. How do you step over something in your way? With joy.

[Pastor Noel]

You celebrate.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I saw a thing with the Olympics, and they were showing people who were. And I don't even know what this race is called. The hurdles. The hurdles.

[Pastor Noel]

And they would show.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Oh, brother. There were some real crashes.

[Pastor Noel]

Not on this Olympics.

[Nancy Dufresne]

They were kind of showing crashes of past Olympics, you know, and it was kind of a collage of these different. And the face plants were. Wow.

[Pastor Noel]

The legs getting all tangled because they felt.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Failed to clear the hurdle. Their feet got tangled.

[Pastor Noel]

It wasn't their hands that got tangled. It wasn't their head that got tangled.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It was their feet.

[Pastor Noel]

How we run.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You have to clear the hurdle. And he's telling us how to clear the hurdle. You celebrate your way over it. That's how. You tread on it and keep going and keep going. Stop being impressed by what's in the way.

[Pastor Noel]

Just keep Going, amen. Praise the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Those who know the most celebrate the most. You need to. You can measure your knowledge by measuring your celebration. Praise the Lord. I love the story of this one woman. She raised up her children in the things of God. But one of her sons was very wayward, self willed and lived away from God for a very long time. And she really, she really wondered about his salvation. And he ended up in his 50s, he was dying and she hadn't seen him in a long time. And as he lay dying and the doctors gave him no hope, he says, take me back to mother. And they transported him back and he ended up dying. But he got right with God before he did. And here she was like 80 something, he was in his 50s. And people in the congregation felt bad for her because they thought, you know, it's difficult when a parent buries a child. And she was such a precious woman of God. And they felt bad for her to have to see this son buried so young. And so they wondered about what effect it would have on her. And when they held the funeral, she came walking through the back, down the front aisle after everybody's seat and said.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the Lord, he made it. Praise the Lord, he made it. She celebrated her way in.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Why?

[Pastor Noel]

Because she knew something. That will offend. People who don't know that will offend. When you don't get depressed and grieved and fall apart with them, they get offended at the response of celebration in.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The face of difficulty.

[Pastor Noel]

But celebration is the flow of those.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Who know.

[Pastor Noel]

A renewed mind leads us.

[Nancy Dufresne]

To celebrate when others won't. I remember Dr. Sumrall telling us about the time he flew in from a foreign country. He was landing, I believe, in Chicago. And then he was not even going home to South Bend headquarters, but he was going on to Florida. And when he arrived in Chicago, one of his sons had flown their ministry plane to Chicago to meet him and says, dad, we've come to pick you up. And they go. He goes, why? I'm scheduled to preach in for it. And they said, well, sit down. He says, I want to sit down. That was Dr. Sumrall, don't tell him the posture of his body. And he said, what's the matter? And they said, well, last night the television studio burned down, all the equipment, everything. And I mean millions of dollars worth of stuff. And Dr. Sumrall said, all right. And they said, well, we came to bring you home.

[Pastor Noel]

Why, it's burned down. He said, I got a preaching schedule. He got on the next plane, went to preach, that's called a flow of celebration. You just do what you know to to do in the face of everything that tries to get you on a different path.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You never worried and arrived at the right place. But you celebrate and you'll always arrive at the right place. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

Fear, depression, grief, worry.

[Nancy Dufresne]

All indicators that you have another privilege, the privilege of renewing the mind. And that is a privilege. The areas we struggle with, the areas that we tend. Because you can have complete faith in one arena and be totally harassed in another arena. That's an indicator of where you need more knowledge. Read the indicators. Amen. Philippians, chapter one. Oh, I haven't even gotten to where I'm headed. Philippians chapter one. This is the amplified that I want to read out of. Philippians, chapter one, verse 28. Philippians 1, verse 28, the amplified translation. Do not for a moment, don't give yourself any cushion time. Do not for a moment be frightened.

[Pastor Noel]

Intimidated, in anything, in anything, in anything by your opponents and adversaries. For such constancy and fearlessness will be a clear sign, a proof and a seal to them, your opponents, your adversaries, of their imperfection, impending destruction, and a sure token and evidence of your deliverance and salvation.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And that's from God.

[Pastor Noel]

When we are opposed to be fearful or intimidated, it is always the wrong response. We've already been talking about what's the right response. Celebrate, rejoice, praise. Amen. We, when we walk in the full light of our dominion and who we.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Are in Christ, things change.

[Pastor Noel]

Now that's a big statement, and I.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Hope you don't miss it. Things change.

[Pastor Noel]

And if you need something changing.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Acting.

[Pastor Noel]

On the knowledge of who you are.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Is what will bring about that change. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

When things need to change, start dominating.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Exercise your dominion. And then I'll close with this. Luke, chapter four. 18. You need to know these things. You need to know these things, and this is why you need to know them. Not just for your life, not just for your life.

[Pastor Noel]

Don't be good at celebrating just for your life. But other lives need to know what.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Celebration, the celebration flow is. Luke, chapter 4, verse 18. Jesus stood up in his hometown and.

[Pastor Noel]

Said, the Spirit of the Lord is.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Upon me, because he has anointed me. Now he gives the job description of the anointing that's upon him. He's anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.

[Pastor Noel]

He sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised to Preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Now I want to look at the.

[Pastor Noel]

Phrase to preach deliverance to the captives. Preach deliverance to the captives. Anybody that's held captive by something, anything that is being pushed down, Anyone that's being pushed down by something, he tells what they need, they need preaching. They need teach. They need the word. Tell them. Tell them. Preach to them. It doesn't say. It says to preach deliverance to the captives, not pray.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Deliverance to the captives. Says, preach deliverance.

[Pastor Noel]

Preach deliverance. What is that? What's preaching? Deliverance. You are delivered. You are already delivered. What did Jesus say to the woman who had been bowed over at the waist for 18 years? He said, behold, woman, thou art loosed. Ought this daughter of Abraham, who Satan is bound, ought she not be loosed? He said, woman, thou art loosed. He did not lay hands on her. He preached deliverance to her to get delivered.

[Nancy Dufresne]

From that. That day.

[Pastor Noel]

There'S a place for prayer, but it is not a substitute for knowledge. It is not a substitute for knowing. It is not a substitute for celebrating in the face of adversity. What do you think Paul and Silas did? They prayed and they celebrated. Sang praises, they celebrated. That's a flow of celebration.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

Anyone who's bound, held back, hindered by anything held by an addiction, held by a harassment, held tormented by fear, they need to hear the preaching of the.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Good news of deliverance. That's what they need. I had one little gal years ago in our church. It's a precious little gal, but she had a lot of personal responsibilities, and she needed her church family a lot, and we wanted her to succeed. And she just, you know, if you can keep corralling people, you can help them.

[Pastor Noel]

If they'll let you corral them. Just stay close. Stay close.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Come to the service.

[Pastor Noel]

Stay close. Keep in contact. If they'll let you corral them, you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Can keep them safe even when they're not equipped in their own knowledge. If you can just keep them close. That's. Sometimes that's what I'll just tell Morgan. Just keep them close. Keep them close. Just keep them close so you can help them.

[Pastor Noel]

And I was at home one day.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And I was praying, and it came up in my heart. God said to me what she was struggling with, what the devil was bombarding her mind with.

[Worship Leader]

So.

[Pastor Noel]

I just prayed for her.

[Nancy Dufresne]

A couple of weeks later, I was doing the service, and I. Morgan normally preaches, but I was doing the service back then, and I looked up and the anointing came on me. When I Saw her and God said, call her out. So I called her out.

[Pastor Noel]

I did pray for her.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The Holy Ghost let me know to assist that way. Why? Because our prayer life assists people. Absolutely. But when I called her out, I didn't lay hands on her. You know what I told her? I told her how to walk free from that thing, how to take her stand against it. And in front of the congregation. I didn't spell out anything to embarrass her. I just said, the spirit of God's been dealing with me about what's been opposing you. Do you know what I'm talking about? She said, yes, Pastor, I do. I said, there's help you and let me give you your help. And it wasn't just me laying hands on her. I gave her knowledge.

[Pastor Noel]

I gave her her answer.

[Nancy Dufresne]

To say there was ministers visiting that service. And later they said, don't you know there's a demon talking to her? I said, oh, yeah, things have been troubling her for years. Yeah, I know that. Do you know that you need to cast that off? I did. With knowledge, preach deliverance to the captives. And they go, what are you talking about?

[Pastor Noel]

And I said, I told her what to do. Because if I would have dealt with that demon myself, that thing would have been before she went to bed that night.

[Nancy Dufresne]

She wouldn't know what to do with that thing.

[Pastor Noel]

I told her how to get it off and keep it off. I said, I helped her renew her mind. They go, I don't know what you're talking about.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I go, I know.

[Pastor Noel]

That'S why you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Said what you said. Because they don't have the value on the word, that the word has its proper place. Preaching, deliverance. Tell them that you're already free. You don't have to live a tormented life.

[Pastor Noel]

And if you don't know how to.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Celebrate, how are you going to tell somebody? If you're not skillful, how are you going to go to work and tell somebody? Somebody that needs your help, needs your skill, they need you skillful, your celebration of authority.

[Pastor Noel]

Amen. Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Now, some people who have lost their mind completely, I mean, their mind is gone because the mind is the gateway or the door to the spirit. And somebody whose mind is gone completely.

[Pastor Noel]

You try to get knowledge to them.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You can't, because the mind will not allow that door is broken, so to speak. Therefore, you need a gift of the spirit. Therefore, you can lay hands on people.

[Pastor Noel]

Cast things off of them by the.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Gift of the spirit. But as the Spirit wills and leads.

[Pastor Noel]

All you can do In a situation.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Like that, and I'm speaking pastors, especially ministers, all you can do in a situation like that is take time to get in the spirit, to see if the spirit would use you that way to help somebody.

[Pastor Noel]

Otherwise, anybody, I don't care, even if their mind is weakened, if they even have any knowing, any ability to comprehend.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Their help is in preaching their deliverance to them. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

To those whose minds have not been completely taken over.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

If you can still get through to.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Them in any measure, this is their answer. Preach deliverance to the captives. Tell them you're all. You have the dominion. You have the authority. When Dr. Sumrall. When Dr. Sumrall went to that bilibid prison in the Philippines and set that girl free that had been bitten by devils, he cast the devil out of her. Her mind was gone. She was completely overcome. When her mind came back, you know what he did? He preached deliverance to her.

[Pastor Noel]

He told her exactly right, Pastor Amy. He told her how to keep that.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Thing off of her.

[Pastor Noel]

Just got saved that day.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Just got saved that day. And the preaching of the deliverance that was hers.

[Pastor Noel]

Worked.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Just getting saved that day.

[Pastor Noel]

Full authority. Worked that day.

[Nancy Dufresne]

They were going to dismiss her the next day to go live with a family out of Dr. Sumrall's church. But she was spending that night until.

[Pastor Noel]

All the paperwork and everything could be completed.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And that night, after she had been.

[Pastor Noel]

Set free, that demon came back through the window and tried to get ahold of her again. And she cried out to the guard, quickly, tell me, what did the preacher say to say? And the guard remembered and told her, and she did it. And that demon took his hands off.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Of her and left.

[Pastor Noel]

She didn't even remember fully what to say, but all she had to do was she ran to that as her answer. She ran. She didn't say, go get the preacher. She said, what did he tell me to say? What did he tell me to say? What did your pastor tell you to say? What did your pastor tell you to say? He preached deliverance to the captives. Every Sunday, every midweek service, he's preaching deliverance to the captives. Amen. And when people can't understand what you're.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Saying, they're going to have to act for themselves. They're going to have to. You can't act for them. So preach deliverance.

[Pastor Noel]

Tell them words.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Tell them what to say. Remind them.

[Pastor Noel]

I mean, when my kids or my grandkids or anybody, my kids have called me at different times and says, I'm.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Going through this, I Just tell them again. This is what you say. This is what you say. This is what you say.

[Pastor Noel]

I've never gone over and bailed them out.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I've just told them what to do. Thank God for the knowing that I can tell people what to do. You know what I would do when I was in school? School and me weren't best friends. It wasn't so hard. I was just not interested. I'd take those school books. You could find them in the floorboard of my car before I got home. Because that's just what I thought about it. I wasn't interested. I didn't hold to it. When you leave a service like this, you can't take what's said and just throw it in the floorboard of your life. This is your deliverance. Psalm91. Remember? Tell me the last. The wording of the last two verses. Because you set his. Because he has set his love on me. What was it? Therefore will I. Yeah. And show him my salvation. How's he going to deliver you through your mouth. Speaking knowledge, Celebrating. It's not God. You laying in bed and doing nothing and begging him to show up and him to show up and start striking junk down. He's going to deliver you through the words of your mouth, giving you knowledge.

[Pastor Noel]

Hallelujah. I don't know about you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I want to read that last passage that dad Hagin said that I started with. Before Jesus comes again, there's going to be a whole company of believers who will rise up with the authority that is theirs.

[Pastor Noel]

They will know what is theirs, and they will do the work that God.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Intended they should do.

[Pastor Noel]

How about we be in that company? How about that? How about that? We have to be interested. I said we have to be interested. And I know you're interested. You're here, right? Hallelujah. Who would have known that winning battles.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Was as easy as celebrating?

[Pastor Noel]

Who would have known it?

[Nancy Dufresne]

God told it to Jehoshaphat.

[Pastor Noel]

Put the praisers up front.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Put them up front.

[Pastor Noel]

Put the celebrators up front. Tell Gideon, send the fearful home. Get rid of them, because they'll get you killed. Nobody wants to buddy up with the guy. Afraid. Send them home.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Only 300 knew how to celebrate. Out of the thousands, what was it, like, 33,000? Something like that.

[Pastor Noel]

33,000.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Only 300. 300. I would dare to say not everybody knows how to celebrate in the face of adversity, but we choose. We choose that.

[Pastor Noel]

That's our flow.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That's our response.

[Pastor Noel]

Hallelujah. Are you helped tonight? Praise the Lord.

[Congregation Member]

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the lord. Praise the lord, lord.

[Congregation Member]

Hallelujah.

[Pastor Noel]

Now I will say thank God for corporate faith. It's easy to step into the flow of corporate faith. Good for you. Now you know what celebration looks like and sounds like. Now go home with the individual faith and do the same thing. When nothing else is shouting, nothing else is rejoicing, but all things are threatening.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Whether it's your finances, whether it's your body. And celebrate.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise is simply celebration.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I love something Lillian B. Yeoman said.

[Pastor Noel]

A medical doctor raised up off of.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Her deathbed and went to preaching divine healing after that for the next 35 to 40 years. And she said, there's nothing you can't.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise your way out of. What she. She was really giving the light of.

[Nancy Dufresne]

What that passage is that we read.

[Pastor Noel]

There's nothing you can't praise your way out of. Paul and Silas did it, and God's people around Jericho did it. They didn't praise their way out.

[Nancy Dufresne]

They praised their way in.

[Pastor Noel]

Sometimes you need out of things. Sometimes you need into things. How you going to do it?

[Nancy Dufresne]

Celebrate.

[Pastor Noel]

Celebrate. Amen.

[Congregation Member]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Pastor Noel]

Now, I know this. Later, later, after all these meetings are over and stuff.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You know what you have the privilege of? Stir it up.

[Pastor Noel]

Celebration is stirred up. Why do you think that? Smith Wigglesworth said every morning he got up and celebrated. He stirred him.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He stirred it up. So stirred up, he stirred himself up.

[Pastor Noel]

In his knowledge and his authority and his dominion, in his faith. Everything in you has to be stirred.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Everything in you has to be stirred.

[Pastor Noel]

So don't worry about feelings.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I don't feel like celebrating.

[Pastor Noel]

Well, the world, the whole world looks.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Like they're living by their feelings. We live by our knowledge.

[Pastor Noel]

Amen.

[Congregation Member]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Ram.

[Pastor Noel]

Now, can I tell you this? Let me tell you this. It won't. It's not making sound. It's releasing from the inside of you. Release faith when you shout. Release faith when you praise. It's the releasing of faith through the act of celebration.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

So it's not a mental thing. Hook your heart up and from the inside of you, you believe. You.

[Congregation Member]

You believe.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You believe.

[Congregation Member]

Hallelujah.

[Pastor Noel]

You believe. Amen. So release that faith that's on the inside of you when you celebrate. As your response. Amen.

[Congregation Member]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Pastor Noel]

Hallelujah. Whatever is opposing you, direct it at that. It's not just random. It is very personal, purposeful in what we're celebrating as we tread on it. Amen. Praise the Lord. Now, this afternoon and even coming to.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The service and earlier in the service, that anointing was in my hands. So I said, God, what is that? And he reminded me, what's that? I said, what is that for? And he reminded me of something.

[Pastor Noel]

That.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Because I want to make sure that we're correct. But I was reminded of some wording that God gave. In one particular incident, I was after Brother Norval Hayes went home to be with the Lord. It stirred in me. Somebody needs to pick up the revelations. And people have in part. But I wanted not just to preach his sermons.

[Pastor Noel]

I. I wanted.

[Nancy Dufresne]

What did God tell him specifically? I didn't want to let that slip. The things God said to him. And one of the things that.

[Pastor Noel]

One of the primary emphasis of his.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Ministry was releasing faith through worship. Worship.

[Pastor Noel]

Worship was such an emphasis, a centerpiece of what God had him to emphasize.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And that's where the worship book that.

[Pastor Noel]

I wrote came out of. Because I went to. To a church and I was going to preach on worship. Not preaching his sermons, but preaching this.

[Nancy Dufresne]

One thing that God said to him about worship.

[Pastor Noel]

And the book came out of that. And when I got ready to go preach the first night at that conference, about 45 minutes before I was to leave, there was an angel that came.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Into my hotel room. I knew where it was standing.

[Pastor Noel]

I went over and I.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And I held out my hands in front of me and I you've come for a purpose. And I received that purpose. What is the purpose that you've come for?

[Pastor Noel]

See, you have to respond to any.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Kind of movement of heaven toward you.

[Pastor Noel]

He won't. When something like that happens, you don't.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Receive just because you showed up. You have to respond to it. So I said. And I held out my hands and I said, you've come for a reason and purpose. What is that? I received that.

[Pastor Noel]

And that angel said these words to me.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I've come to bring an impartation. It was interesting because I'd never heard these words before.

[Pastor Noel]

To bring an impartation for the utterance.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Of the revelation given to Brother Norville.

[Pastor Noel]

In other words, revelations must have proper utterance.

[Nancy Dufresne]

If you have a revelation but you.

[Pastor Noel]

Can'T articulate that.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It'S going to be very difficult to pass it on.

[Pastor Noel]

Right. And this is what the angel said.

[Nancy Dufresne]

There's an impartation to assist with the utterance of it. Well, in Romans 1, verse 11, Paul said, I long to see you that I may impart some spiritual gift, meaning that's not just one thing, some, whatever that is, is needed for you and what is called for for you. I may impart some spiritual gift to the end that you may be established. It'll establish the end result. It will establish some things into you through impartation. So I thought this interesting. He said, I've come to bring an impartation for the utterance of the revelation, meaning I had divine help the way it was spoken so that it would land in the hearts of the people. It doesn't matter if it doesn't reach their heart. It doesn't matter that I said it and how you say it.

[Pastor Noel]

There was an impartation to help me.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In how things were said. All of us need to be preaching deliverance to the captives. You can go to work and somebody start talking about the difficulty of their life. And you have in your mouth their help, and you preach to them. Their help, their deliverance. You're anointed for that. But tonight, when that anointing was in my hand before service and when I first came into the service and I said, God, what is that? He said, it's an impartation for the utterance of the revelation for the ministers that God's wanting further revelation to be uttered about the authority of the believer. It's not just what comes through me, but God's going to give parts we only know in part. And God's going to give more parts to the ministers here about the authority, the light that we need to walk in it. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We receive that help to utter rightly the revelations that need to land in the hearts of people. You can't speak head words and then land in the heart.

[Pastor Noel]

They have to be heart words, they.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Have to be spirit words. And there's divine help that heaven will impart to us to help us with those utterances. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

Congregations.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I don't know what pastors are here. That may be your pastor, but this.

[Pastor Noel]

Is why Paul said, pray that doors.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Utterance be opened unto me. Why? Because the people would get the utterances for their own lives. It's not just so Paul could have.

[Pastor Noel]

Something, so the people could have through.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Paul what their lives needed.

[Pastor Noel]

So don't think you're being Neglected in this.

[Nancy Dufresne]

These impartations for the utterance of the.

[Pastor Noel]

Revelation is for your lives.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It's not for their own. It's for your lives. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

For the utterance. Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I thought that was so interesting how the angel said it to me that night, that we need divine help in how things are said. Amen. And there is further revelation for us to have and to walk in in this era. So that what dad Hagin talked about, a company of believers that will move over into and accomplish things that God wants done in these days. Amen.

[Pastor Noel]

Hallelujah.

[Prayer Leader]

Father, we thank you.

[Pastor Noel]

We honor your word.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And we know this, that we have divine help to make these words known with all clarity so they land in the hearts of the people. So, Father, we thank you. We thank you for the impartation. For the impartation. We thank you for the impartation of the. Of the utterances, the revelation. Greater, greater, greater, greater revelation coming for us, Father. And now we're equipped to utter them with clarity, utter them with wisdom, utter them with accuracy.

[Worship Leader]

[Nancy Dufresne]

Remember Jesus said, there's many things I have to say to you, but you're not able to hear them yet. That's part of the impartation of knowing what is to be said and what's to be held and not be said yet. Amen.

[Prayer Leader]

Father, we thank you. We thank you, Father.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Did I miss any full time minister or pastor? Did I miss anybody?

[Prayer Leader]

We worship you, Father. We worship you, Father.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You know, I loved a testimony I heard a woman, probably, I would say, late 40s, early 50s. Her father was a pastor. He was in. Looked to be his 70s, and she had helped him for years. And she was diagnosed with a terminal condition. And the doctors told her, you've got 30 days. When she was diagnosed, and she had gotten very weak physically. She had no insurance. And they just said, basically, there's nothing we can do for you anyway, so we don't need to see you anymore. Unless, you know, you want us to. And she went home and she just laid on the couch and she was so weak and tired. And I loved her. Dad walked into her and he said, you're going to die laying there. Get up. I mean, this is his daughter who helped him in the ministry. He didn't coddle her. And I love what he said to her. He said, physician, heal thyself. And he walked out. He wasn't going to do it for her. He couldn't do it for her. And she got up and she started quoting verses, and she started putting her name in it. And several times a day, she did it. She went back at day 29 to the doctor, and they said, there's nothing there. Nothing there. Now, I said that to say this. Preach deliverance to the captives. Sometime if something's trying to captivate you.

[Pastor Noel]

You preach deliverance to yourself. Preach to yourself if something is trying to rise up and take a hold on you. Preach deliverance to the captives. Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Preach to yourself who you are and what you have and what you can do. Give yourself a talking to instead of. Instead of patting yourself. If her dad wouldn't have said that, she'd have died. Sometimes you don't always need to be understood as a human. I know. What, honey? I know it's hard. That's not always what you need. You need somebody who doesn't care what your humanity feels and just do what the word says. Amen. The word always works. The word always works. Praise the Lord Jesus. Thank you. Thank you.

[Pastor Noel]

Thank you.

[Prayer Leader]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Congregation Member]

Thank you.

[Worship Leader]

We thank you, Lord. I just want to thank you, Lord. I thank you, Lord. I thank you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

[Worship Leader]

I thank you, Lord. I just want to thank you, Lord. Thank you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Lo.

[Worship Leader]

Thank you.

[Congregation Member]

Lord.

[Worship Leader]

I. I just want to thank you Lord. We just want to thank you. We just want to thank you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Hallelujah. Well, you don't want to miss in.

[Pastor Noel]
