Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message.
B
Praise God. You know how refreshing it's been this week, has it not? Tell you what, we appreciate all the ministry, Pastor Nancy. Your ministry those past several nights has been so wonderful for me. That message on faith about Abraham's faith and. Anyhow, come on, Joel, because I'll start preaching it. And then we. We owe you, Pastor Anderson, a debt of gratitude for all you. All you brought to us and. And just nailed down a foundation in us on some things that maybe we knew it, maybe we didn't know, but we know it better now. Glory to God. And so we. We're just. We're just a blessed bunch. And then, of course, Brother Copeland's ministry was great, you know, so it's been. It's been a treat to be here. I'm going to have you turn in your scriptures tonight to the 17th chapter of John, if you would. And when Pastor asked me this afternoon to minister, it wasn't too difficult, because about a week and a couple days ago, I woke up in the morning and there was. There was a data dump that had taken place. Now you know what a data dump is. She's like, okay, finally someone's going to talk about the election. No, no, no, I'm not. Not talking about that. No, no. What I'm talking about is I woke up and there was a message that had been downloaded, dumped, whatever you want to call it, but it was in me, and I. I just really got my iPad, which is always right next to my bed anyhow, and I just got that and started writing it all down, you know, so. And then, of course, you know, I check my heart, make sure it's for now. And I know it is for us. I said, I know it is for us. And really, I thought it was for you more than it was for me, But darn if the Lord didn't. Didn't make me eat it myself. Praise God. So if you found the 17th chapter, we're going to pray actually, first, and then we'll get right into it. Father, we want to tell you we're grateful. You've given us so much. You've graced us with so much. And, Lord, as we receive this portion of these meetings, thank you. Open the eyes of our heart. Help us see, Help us know. Help us understand. Help us apply these truths to our lives. And, Father, make us more like you. Make us more in the image of Christ so you can get glory to yourself through our lives. We ask it in the name of Jesus. Why don't you holler Amen with me? In John 17, we read over the 17th verse where Jesus said these words. He started by saying, sanctify them. What's that mean? Sanctify them? Well, to sanctify means to set apart. To set apart. To make different. To make stand out. Right. To make something stand out. Sanctify them. How's that going to happen now? Jesus is praying here to his Father. Sanctify them through your truth. Sanctify them through your truth. Yes. Make them stand out because they know truth. Make them different because they know truth. And then you might say, well, where are you supposed to get that? Thank God he tells us. What's that next phrase? Your word is truth. You got that? Why don't we say it a couple times? Your word is truth. Did it say, your word contains truth? That's not what it said. Say it with me again. Your word is truth. Your word. One more time. Your word is truth. Friends, there is one source of truth. I'm talking about 100% truth. One source where you don't have to wonder. One source that you don't have to filter. His word is truth. What if it's not his word? You can't say for sure that it's truth if it's not his word. And so I want us to get this in our minds a little bit because, well, truth can be hard to find. I said, truth can be hard to find. Everybody thinks they have it, and it ain't always it. You hear me? And one of the reasons we don't find truth is that not everybody knows truth. Why don't people know truth? They don't know the word, which is truth. Now, you can. You can hear the word. You can learn principles. You can have a foundation of truth. But what if you want more truth? What do you have to have? More word. I said more word. You believing with me tonight, Aren't you? If you want more truth, you need more word. And any of the word. Pardon me, Any of the word that you don't know, truth that you're missing. And any truth that you're missing means that you are open to an alternative version of the truth. How important is it? How important this is to know the truth? And where are you going to find it? The word, his word is truth. Now, a lot of times we don't know truth because we don't know who to trust. You hear me? We don't know truth because we don't know who. Thank you. We don't know who to trust. If you think about the spelling of those two words, truth and trust, very similar. And I don't know about the Greek, but I do know that in the Hebrew, they're from the same religion. Root word, truth and trust. You got to be able to trust your source. There's one source you don't have to worry about. There's one source you don't have to be concerned about. It's God. It's God. Now you're in John 17. Glory to God. His Word. His word is truth. His word is truth. If it's not the word, you can't say it's the truth. Not 100%. Now, over in John the 14th chapter, thank God we have some other help. Along these lines of finding the truth. And John 14, starting in the 16th verse, Jesus said, I will pray the Father and he shall give you another comforter that he may abide with you forever. Even the Spirit. Huh? But what did it say? Not just the Spirit. The Spirit of truth. The Spirit of truth. Whom the world cannot receive. The world cannot receive truth like the believer can receive truth. So you have the word which is truth, and then you have the spirit of truth. Look at the 15th chapter, if you would. You don't mind looking at some scriptures tonight, do you? John 15 and the 26th verse says this. But when the comforter is come, whom I'll send to you from the Father, come on and say it with me. Even this, even the Spirit of truth. Isn't that interesting. They keep calling him that. Even the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me. Then over In John the 16th chapter, and in the 13th verse, it says, how be it when he say it? The Spirit of truth is come. He will guide you into all truth. Figure the Lord's trying to get something over to us over and over and over. Flip to first John the second chapter. Now, how does the. How does the spirit of truth minister his truth to us? Well, how does the Spirit minister anything to us? Romans chapter 8 says, the Spirit bears witness with our Spirit. He bears witness. You with me tonight. Now, I know you might think I thought this is a healing service. This is a healing service. I said this in healing service. This message and what's in it and what we're going to read can work healing in your life. Someone might say, well, I need physical healing. I know, I know. Praise him. Now, the Spirit bears witness, doesn't he? Now, First John, did you find it? Glory to God, the 27th verse of the second chapter of First John says, but the anointing which you have received of him, you know what is that? Anointing. The anointing is a manifestation of the Spirit on the inside of you, Right? The anointing which you've received of him abides in you. And you need not that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you of all things and is. Say it. Anytime you see that word, you're welcome to shout it out with me. It teaches you all things and is truth and is no lie, even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him. So he's just over and over saying, listen, that spirit, that which God has put on the inside of you, he'll bear witness to the truth. He is truth. And just in case you didn't get it, he said, he is truth. And that's no lie. He is truth and that's no lie. Come on now. I tell you what. When the Holy Spirit bears witness to you, when you know the spirit of truth, I'm telling you, you can rely on what he is saying to you. You can rely on that witness on the inside. And it might seem to your mind like the most crazy, outlandish, wrong decision. But I'm telling you, it's no lie. It's no lie. There's been times I've gone to my wife and said, this is what. This is what I'm sensing. She's like, I'm sensing this too. Say, well, that's no lie. It's the truth. And because I trust him and because I know the word of truth, we can step out and walk on what he's saying. That anointing on the inside. When something quickens me, when something. Walk in truth. Walk in the word. Walk in what God says rather than the thoughts of your own head.
A
Walk.
B
Walk in what God says rather than what you've seen and read. Walk in what God says rather than what everyone says, and you'll be blessed. What was I saying? The spirit of truth. Now I want to reiterate something I just said. Now, you only know the spirit of truth to the degree you know the word of truth. Because the Bible says there are many voices, none of them insignificant. There's many voices in the world. There's more than one spirit. Other spirits are deceiving spirits. They try to be like God's spirit. You can have the witness of a spirit that's not even God's spirit. How you going to know? How you going to know the difference, friends, you can, I'm telling you, you can learn this and you can become so accurate at this. Like as I've heard Pastor Nancy minister before, it's possible to never miss it again in a decision. You can do that, but how are you going to do it? You have to first know the word because the word helps you discern the difference between the spirit of God and other spirits. If you don't know the word of God, you got to know it. You're saying you said that already? You know, I know I said it already. But I also know you could go to, I don't know, you could go to a Bible school. You could even, you even go to this one. And you can sit and hear and you can sit and learn, but not be walking in the knowledge of the truth. Glory. Whoo. His word is truth. Now, wanting something to be true, This would preach itself. I said wanting something to be true is not the same as something to be true. I ever told you about Lori? I didn't even told my wife about Lori. Don't worry though. Nothing happened, much to my dismay, because in high school, I like Laurie. I like. We were friends, we were in most of our classes together. Reason being I would find out what she was taking and sign up for the same woman. That's how my academic career got off the ground like it did. You know, she was on the drill team, Cute girl, sweet girl. And I didn't have desires for her in some perverted way, but it was honest, it was caring. But I wanted it to be more than a friendship. I did. I really did. I wanted it to be true. I would dream about it, I would think about it. I probably spent hours and hours and hours fantasizing about our relationship. It was very much a one sided relationship.
A
It.
B
We had a love affair that she had no knowledge of. Me wanting it to be true didn't make it true. If you want to succeed, if you, if you want to succeed in our day, you have to have a commitment to the truth. And this is a heart thing, this is an internal thing, because you will be constantly presented with opportunities to believe something that's just not quite true. And based on your commitment, based on your foundation, based on your knowledge of the word of truth and the spirit of truth, that's going to determine whether you end up believing right or believing wrong. Now I think we can all say, what an interesting 12 months. It's been different. At least now. Now if you know God and you're walking with God, in some respects, it Wasn't he Never changed his word. Still worked for me. Did it still work for you? His spirit. You know what I mean? He took care of us, but in the world around us, different. Different, right. And I'm glad that I'm not in charge of handing letter grades out to the body of Christ. Put your mask on. Come on. Some of what. Maybe it's just me. Some of what I heard and some of what I saw and some of. Sometimes my kids would tell me, you know, folk are believing this. And I'd just say, what? What were you thinking? Come on, you know that. What? Where? Why? How. Is it just me or anybody else? You'd say you recognize some of that? And I'm like, my goodness. You pull them out, you close church for a couple weeks, and it falls apart. Look, how do you start believing that? We hadn't even been. The church hadn't even been closed for three weeks. How are you believing this? And how are you believing that? And I'm telling you. What a year of theories. And I hear this, and I hear this, and I believe this. And I wish I could say it was all folk outside of the church, but most of what I heard was stuff right inside the church. And I'm thinking, that's not true. Well, I have information. I know. Fine, fine, fine. But if it doesn't line up with the truth, I'm not interested. Just not interested. Anybody else? Would you like to come take over? You're in First John. I mean, just. Just. Just look at. Just look at Second John. We okay tonight? Oh, my goodness. Now say it with me when I get to it, okay? The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the. Thank you. And not I only, but also all they that have known the. For the truth's sake, which dwells in us and shall be with us forever. Grace be with you. Mercy and peace from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father. In love. I rejoice greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth. What is John's deal? Huh? What is John's deal? He had a thing about this thing called the truth. Third John. Oh, we love a verse in three, John. Come on now. The elder unto the well beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health. Amen, brother. Even as thy soul prospered. For I rejoice great even as thy.
A
What?
B
No, no, no, listen. Read it. Read it with me. One trick question. You fail the testing Even as you're seeing, soul prospers. Soul prosper. So your. Your outward prosperity in life is dependent on the prosperity of your soul, your inner prosperity. And what. What affects your inner prosperity? For I rejoice greatly when the brethren came and testified of the truth that's in me. Even as you walk in truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walk in truth. So our prosperity as Christians, as a nation, as individuals, is connected to our love of the truth and our commitment to the truth. You know, when David, King David, great king, great king, someone we look up to, someone we read about, but he. He had times where he didn't do the right thing. He fell into sin. And when he came back to God, he made. He. He. He repented and he made this statement, and he said, you desire truth in the inward parts. Friends, I. I would say that it would be presumptive, any of us to think that we're walking as individuals in 100% truth all the time. Is it possible? Yeah, I believe it's possible. But if you're not walking in truth, what are you walking in? Where are you? You'd be open to something called deception. Now, truth. When you walk in truth, it brings something to your life. I won't have you turn there for sake of time. But Jesus in the eighth chapter of John said, if you continue in my word, then you're my disciples. Indeed. And you'll know the truth and the truth will make you free. How do you get free? Knowing truth, Knowing truth. Walking in truth. There. I'm telling you, there's nothing more liberating than truth. Truth, truth, truth, truth, truth. Truth will make you free. How many? Here you're free compared to where you used to be. But are you as free as you can be as long as there's truth? You don't know you're not as free as you can be. That should keep you coming to church. Every time you come, you can leave with greater measures of freedom. Well, I'm just dealing with this area. What is the truth? What is God's word say in that area? Feed on that truth and you'll experience freedom in that area. Too simple for you? That's all I got. Glory to God. Now, if you don't mind, I know a lot of scripture, but again, I'm just reading what I wrote. Okay. Second Thessalonians, the second chapter, if you would. Hallelujah. Oh, glory. I said to you it was. It's been of concern to me this past year, watching the body of Christ. It's been at times disturbing to see kind of whole groups of Christians get on this bandwagon or this bandwagon, and some of it may be true in and it may not. And there's absolutely no way that they can say they know for sure. And the issue is folk are giving heed to things, taking their attention off of where it should be, putting other places where it shouldn't be. And it's not a harmless thing when that happens. So I just want to help us tonight. Don't think I'm mad at you. I'm not spanking you. I'm loving you. Now, if God deals with you and gets on you like he did me, then good should. Second Thessalonians, the second chapter. And there's no way to get to the verse that I want without reading a couple ahead of time. So you can start reading at verse seven. It says, for the mystery of iniquity does already work. Only he who now lets will let until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying. Wonders. Really? Really. Signs and wonders, huh? And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish because. Look at this. Because they received not the love of the truth. Do you see this? They received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this cause, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, God shall send them something called strong delusion that they should be alive. Believe a lie. Now, there are levels of deception spoken of in the word of God. The believer is not immune to deception. Just being a Christian doesn't mean you're immune to deception. If that was the case, he wouldn't have said, be doers of the word, not hearers, only deceiving yourselves. Be not deceived, beloved brethren. God's not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap. There's encouragement after encouragement to the church to not be deceived. That means it's possible. What's it mean to be deceived? It means you think on things that aren't true. Means you think on things that just aren't true. And so there's deception. But then when you yield to deception, thinking on things that just aren't true, how do you know whether. Whether they're truth? Is it the word? Is it in agreement with the word does. And here's the big one. Does the spirit of truth witness to it? You following me? Does the spirit of truth witness to it? You might say, I don't know. That's the issue. That's the issue. When you hear things, because we're hearing things. When you hear things, you've got to learn to check your heart and see, is God in this or is God not in this? And just something that I want to be true. I'll come over here because they're helping me over here. Is it really true? And if it's not, and you choose to believe it, you're deceived. And when you're in deception, you're open to delusion. Jesus, we be preaching good tonight. I tell man, what is it going on? And when you're in delusion, you're open to strong delusion. Would you like to know what that Greek means when it says strong delusion? It means wrong thinking from a superhuman source. Wrong thinking from a superhuman source. Wrong thinking that's stronger than your ability to get out of it and your stronger ability to resist. Now, I don't know why I haven't asked the Lord that. Maybe that's why. I don't know why. But I don't know why the Lord has seen fit, during my years of ministry to give me experience dealing with people who were dealing with what we call mental illness. I mean, you know, bipolar, paranoia, schizophrenia, those kinds of things. You know what those kind of things are? They are wrong thinking from a superhuman source.
A
Source.
B
The people in it have difficulty getting out of it. And it's because it didn't start that way. It didn't start that way. It started with delusion, and then before that, deception, and then before that, just not loving the truth enough, not being committed to the truth enough. Pastor Anderson this morning was talking about people of alternative lifestyles. The Bible tells because the world says has their idea of how that would come to be or really that folk would be born like that. But the Bible just clearly says that people turn from the truth. That's how it starts, a turning from the truth. And then you get open to something that's stronger than your ability in the natural to get out of it. And so my question to you is, how many here want to be, like, two steps away from strong delusion? Then why do we flirt with deception? You might say, I have no idea what you're talking about, Brother Joel. You want me to start? I said, you want me to start? Now, listen, this is an assignment. God Gave me. I was not at liberty. I'm trying to, you know, know this is the last service, your last meal. You want your last meal to be dessert? I'm trying to throw some sugar on it. You know what I mean? I wish it was one of those services where I just get up, my mouth gets stuck, can't speak. You know, people start, you know, doing stuff. But here we are with this. It started out with, there is no virus in Jesus name. Why are you looking at me like that? Because I don't know anybody that has it. There is none. I'm not going to go down the list. I'm not going to go down the list, but one theory after another theory after another theory. And I've got. I've got a dear friend who tells. Part of the black community. He said. He said, my community believes that this has been engineered to kill the black community. Why are you laughing? They believe that. Is it truth? How do you know? You don't. I mean, I believe it's not truth, but the fact is, how do you know? Do you know all the facts? Can you see as God sees? Then what are you doing when you say, oh, that's not true? Oh, that's. That is true. And then you go, then as the year went, now it's the, okay, the police are trying to kill the whole black community. Is that true? Is that not true? You know one thing, you just can't go everywhere.
A
Yeah.
B
You can't take every journey with your thoughts. You can't entertain every thought that comes. Because, you know, Brother Hagin taught us this. Most things are not his way. You know, the one person's story or the other person's story. Most of the time, the truth's in the middle of the road, and it's hard to find that.
A
Yeah, that's true.
B
Amen. You got one news outlet that caters to people of certain beliefs. They don't want to lose their people. And so they say, really a lot of what their people like to hear. And then you got another news outlet maybe on this side. I'm not mentioning any names. Don't worry about it. Okay. Not getting political, but you got that news outlet, and then they have their. Because they have a certain group of people. And so they have to cater their stuff to what they like. They don't want to lose their people. Well, I listen to this one because it's in line with my beliefs, whether it's truth or not. And that's the issue. Lord, why don't you give somebody else this Message, that's the issue. You can find something that caters to you. You can find a church that caters to you. But if you're committed to truth, then you run everything through the word of truth and the spirit of truth. Oh, I won't even talk about the last couple months. No, I'm not. No, no, no, no. Won't even go there. Won't even go there. Some of the things, some of the outlandish things, some of the crazy things that faith. Believing Christians, y' all just look straight ahead. I won't look in your eyes. You don't look at my eyes. I won't call your name. You won't call my name. Some of the crazy stuff. And you know, Folko sent me a video, so you gotta watch this. This tells the inside story that you won't hear anywhere else. And I go to click on it, and something on the inside of me says, nope, listen right there. If you look for that and listen, because what is that? The spirit of truth telling me, don't watch it now. Not forcing me not to watch it. I could have overridden that. I could have watched and said, well, I'm just curious. Well, I just want to know. Well, I just want to be informed. I want to be walking in the truth. And to walk in the truth, you must limit the sources that bring information into your life. You got to limit your sources. Because, guys, listen, listen. When. I mean, when this pandemic hit, honest to God, the world should have come to the church and said, we don't know what to do. Help us. And they didn't. Because we act like. Because we can get goofy. Come on, us charismatics, we've always been suspect. We have. Think of some of our practices. I mean, just go back, huh? I mean, listen, I believe in the spirit supernatural. I believe in manifestations of this, of the Spirit. When it's God, it's not always God. How would you know the Word of truth and the Spirit of Truth? The Word and the Spirit agree. You check down in your heart. Is all this stuff that's going on, is God attached to it? Is something we witnessing to it? And if it is, I'll dance with the best of them. But it's not always, and I dare say it's not even most. Oh, how, oh, how I love brother Joel oh, how I love brother Seagull. Oh, oh. I'm not interested in being close to delusion. No, no, no, no, no. Let me try to put the bow on this. Can you go to first Timothy? I Said you got to, you got to be discerning. You've got to be careful which voices you listen to. I personally listen to so few, few things. I listen to Brother Hagin, Pastor Nancy, then Brother Hagin some more. It doesn't get too far, doesn't get too much broader than that for me. I mean, that's just me. I'm not saying you have to be me, but you got to check your own heart. You got to get with God. When God says, our issue is too many Christians have been either not looking for the red light or not listening to the red light. And if it comes to it, you know, Brother Hagin would talk about, about the believers. That would be like the little baby birds, you know what I mean? Their eyes are closed, their mouths wide open, waiting for you to drop, just drop anything in and I'll swallow it. You can't just believe every prophecy that you hear me? You can't just believe every prophecy that comes out. Maybe 50% of it's truth. Maybe it's 70% truth. Maybe it's 100% truth. How you going to know the word of truth and the spirit of truth? And I'm telling you most of what I read. People post prophecies all the time, every day, whatever. And I don't, I don't see most of them, of course, but sometimes enough people do. So where to, where it comes across and you see it and I'm like, you might say, how'd you get so smart? It's not that I'm smart, it's. It says something on the inside of me is not bearing witness. Love you too. First Timothy 4. I'm sorry, first Timothy 1. Did you get there? Verse 4? Verse 4. Neither give heed to fables. Fables. What's a fable? Made up story. I heard this, I heard that. Fables. Fables aren't truth. Why did Paul tell Timothy to tell the believers in his care not to give heed to fables because they were believing anything. Some folk think that if I'm a faith Christian, that's my license to believe anything. Anything. Do you understand? Faith doesn't just come by hearing anything. Bible. Faith comes from hearing, hearing the rhema of Christ, the Christ, the Anointed. It comes from hearing from God, hearing the word of God, hearing by the spirit of God, hearing the witness of God. That's how faith comes. And if what you heard doesn't have that attached, then you cannot say, although people do. They say, well, I'm believing this. Well, I believe in this based on what? I want it to be true. We already talked about that. You ought not have. One thing after another where faith didn't work. Well, that didn't work. You know, we believe God, but that didn't happen. What? How do you believe God? You first have to hear from God. So you tell me you actually heard from God, believed what he said, and it didn't happen. It would be the first time ever I said it'd be the first time ever I read my Bible starting in Genesis where it says and God said, and it was. And God said and it was. And God said, and it was establishing precedent that if God says it. Well, you know, we just believe this thing is going to turn around fine. Based on what? Based on what? Faith is not without foundation. Faith is not just pulling rabbits out of the hat, just pulling beliefs out of. Come on. Can't give. Watch what you got to watch what you give heed to. First Timothy 4. First Timothy 4 says, now the spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed, giving their attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. Problem is somebody's waiting for an actual spirit to show up in a devil suit and talk to them. And when that doesn't happen, they don't think they're giving heed to anything wrong. But when you pay attention to voices, media voices, voices from this place, voices from the voices from the dark state, from the deep state state from the red state, from the blue state, from one fish, two fish, whatever, voices, your voices, voices. There's voices everywhere. And when you give heed, it can be a seducing spirit. It's not going to sound evil, it's going to sound spiritual. It's going to sound like God, but it'll be missing something. It'll be missing something. Alignment with the word of truth. And it'll be missing the witness of the spirit of truth. And you just got to toss it out. But it's interesting to me. Stop it. I said stop that. It's interesting. This is interesting to you? This is interesting to you? Don't make me come back there. I'll come back there. This is interesting. Praying in the spirit until you've tuned your spirit to hear from. That's interesting. So that what happened to me this year, when you get a call from your doctor and says, hey, guess what? You got cancer. And then he throws some other adjectives in it and says, aggressive, advanced, you don't fall apart and there's no fear and God had you way out ahead of the thing, they said, you're gonna get some major surgery. And I just got my little text the other day with my blood work results, and it says, as far as I can read, it's all gone. But if you're not living with the spirit of truth and the word of truth, if you haven't learned to practice that, then you get a report like that, it can mess with you. I said, it can mess with you. And the doctor was a real sweet guy trying to help me not fall apart. He says, now, listen, man, I know this is hard to hear. I know this and that. I know this. I said, dude, I read Fearless. I read Fearless. Didn't lose a minute of sleep. Why'd that happen to you? I thought you was a faith person. I'm a. I believe in living. I'm an alive person. This is important. If you give heed to the wrong voices, if you end up in deception, then you don't. You don't get to see with clarity. This is how we get through this. This is how we get out of this. Hallelujah. Listen, our time's getting away. Let me give you. Let me give you a couple steps how to commit to the truth. Can I. Is that all right? First one is you got to dwell in the light. You got to walk in the light as he is in the light. Then you have coin and e with one another. You have fellowship, one with another, glory to God. You got to walk in the light. Here's the second thing. You must be impartial. You must be impartial, meaning you have to get rid of your opinion about everything. You hearing me? That's one of the biggest criteria of judges, isn't it, that they be impartial? And, you know, I always. One thing that I do enjoy is watching when they are vetting the Supreme Court justices to be and going through them, and they try to bait them, they try to get them to answer this, and they'll say, senator, I'm not allowed to give an opinion based on a case that I may or that may come before me in the future. My opinion is the Constitution. That's my opinion. You want to know what I believe? Go read the Constitution. If believers would do that, well, what do you think about this? Just read that and you'll know what I think about it. Your opinion can't be so sacred. I'm an American. I got a right to my vote, and I got a right to my opinion, and I got a right to give it. Every time. Your opinion can mess you up. Your opinion can put you in a bad place. I'm telling you, get rid of preference. Get rid of preference. Well, it's got to be this. It's got to be this. Why? Said who? Well, this is my list. This is what I want. This is what I have to have. Okay? Praise the Lord. So you have to be impartial. You know, one day you will be a judge. Do you know that? We will judge nations with the Lord. Get the skills now. Get impartial. Now, we have a saying. My wife and I, we've used it for years. It goes like this. I like what God likes. I like what God likes. Well, what should we buy? Should we buy this one? Should we buy that one? I like what God likes. He's bigger than me. He sees more than me. He knows what I like, and he knows what this thing could be. And all I do is see it according to the natural. The house we live in, she didn't like it at all when she saw it, she said, you are not going to like it. We like what God likes. We're in it. And it's like, oh, my God, we almost passed this up. Hallelujah. Okay, okay. No, you don't like that. Number three. You must listen only to him. When you listen to voices that God did not lead you to, you will not be his sheep that hears his voice and follows him. Following him. Hearing his voice depends on you listening to the voices he's assigned to your life. I don't listen to 500 different preachers. God has dealt with me before. There was. I'm thinking about maybe a decade ago or so. This one preacher was getting popular. He was on tv. I saw him. Didn't hear anything wrong with the message. And the spirit just said, that's not for you. Can you be okay with that? Can you just be okay with that? Or do you have to be like Eve? Well, why doesn't he want me to watch this? And the devil said, because he knows you'll be like him. If you eat this, you already weren't like him. Hallelujah. You got to listen to him. You can't listen to every voice. God, is it okay for me to listen to this voice? Is this something you're putting in my life? Pare it down. Number four. Oh, this is a big one. Can we get to all five? You okay? You must reject lying. You want to walk in the truth. You want to be able to hear from God? You got to be able to reject. You can't have anything to do with A lie. He's like, brother, we go to World Harvest Church. We. We would never. Christians do it all the time. Christians do it all every day. The problem with that is you're trying to believe God for things. And in order to believe God for things, you have to believe that your words are truth. If you'll look to God, if you'll be serious about these things, he will help you and he'll point that out. He'll point out to you what you said. That wasn't true. He did it to me the other day. He said, you lied to your wife. Lied to my wife? I didn't lie to my wife. You lied to your wife. He said, you know that offering? I said, yeah, this was. This was. See, I was believing God to purchase something in particular. And he dealt with me now. He dealt with me. So such and such a seed toward this thing to such and such a couple. Now my wife handles our finances, and so she has some authority in that area that I have to submit to. But there's an account that she really doesn't factor into budgeting and stuff like that. And that's an account really of mine, in a sense. And the money was there. And I just decided in my head, I don't know why I thought this. I just decided she might not agree right before Christmas with me taking several hundreds of dollars and sending it somewhere. And I decided, easier than having that talk. No, no, I did. I'm just being honest with you. You would never do this. I know you never would, but I did. And he said, easier than having that talk since it's in my account. Yeah, but what does she con? What is she over? She's over the finance. Just do it. And God said, you lied to your wife because I didn't tell her about it. Now, you might say that's a technicality. Man, that's too much. How free you want to be? How free do you want to be? And there was another thing, too. I won't share with you the other thing, but this thing, You might say, God would never do that. Huh? I remember a couple in the New Testament who didn't completely lie about an offering. He'll keep you honest, I'm telling you. He'll keep you in the truth. And so I had to go with her and I said, I've got to repent to you about something. And she said, well, I knew I got the thank you note in the mail. I figured she did. But listen, listen, why would God say that? Sounds like such a technicality, huh? I mean, I didn't go out and buy a rifle with it. I didn't go out and buy fishing equipment with it. I sewed it. And generally speaking, our agreement is anything God deals with us to give away, we will give it away. But we ought to talk first about certain things. What was the issue with God? What does a lie do? It was a violation of our covenant. It was a violation of our covenant. And I'm telling you, when I told her the truth, I repented and I actually cried about it. And something flowed, a flow was restored. I was walking around. I never mentally touched it in my mind, never really processed or thought about it, but I was walking around with something on the inside of me that wasn't right with our relationship.
A
Yeah.
B
How many other folk. You been there? How many other folk? You got stuff that you spent or kept from your spouse and you didn't tell them? There's folk that make a. That make a life out of this. You understand that, right? Just look straight ahead. Well, he don't need to know. What can that lead to? Well, she don't need to know. It'd be better if she didn't know. She'd be hurt if she knew. It'd be better if she didn't know. This is serious stuff. You want healing. I said you want healing? Last thing, number five, you have to walk in lowliness of mind. What the Bible calls lowliness of mind, or another word for that is humility. You have to have humble thinking if you're going to walk in truth. Because it's pride that grabs on to everything that comes along and wants to play with it. I know I've gone a little long tonight, forgive me on that, but this is a matter of life and death with some folk. Listen, when I. Back many years ago, I had only been pastoring in New York less than a year and a minister came to town, the neighboring town, and was preaching at a church. And this minister was the pastor of a church that I had gone to with. Well, no, I didn't go on this meeting, but I was working for Brother Hagin at this time. They had a two week meeting there, one of Brother Hagin's two weeks meetings at this church, this man's church. I'm thinking, oh, my Lord, I am so hungry for fellowship around the things of God. And I went there and it was services on the end times. And this minister, he said, you won't hear this on the news, you won't read this in such and such place, but you'll hear it from me because I have people on the inside in Washington. And the whole thing's supposed to be a church service. I'm expecting to hear some word. I'm expecting the word of truth, I'm expecting the spirit of truth. And all I'm hearing is one thing after another about the political system, the government system. And you can't trust this general because he's not right. And you can trust this one. And if you follow my ministry, you'll always have this inside track. And I left thinking that's not what Brother Hagin deposited in that church for two weeks. And I looked for the anointing, I prayed for the anointing. I tried to grab hold somewhere and it wasn't there. And he had fallen into a trap minister in that way. And it was just, maybe it was coincidence, maybe it wasn't. That about a year later that guy was found dead of a heart attack. And then the minister whose church he ministered in got hold of his message and really just got every service. Now, as a pastor, the problem is, especially as a pastor, you have to, as pastor will say, you have to preach the variety of truth. But I mean, every service is political this and political that, political this. And, and they call it end times teaching. Just because you're in the last days doesn't mean everything is a last days message, you know, but. And he kept at it and kept at it, increased. And I knew this guy, I'd see him quite often. And I'm just thinking, dude, are you sure you're supposed to be doing that? And it was, maybe it was coincidence, maybe not. He dropped dead of a heart attack and then a third minister. I knew, man, this guy, this guy was quite connected with Brother Hagin over the years. I know what Brother Hagin put in him. Soundness. And he got into the end times teaching. And everywhere he went he's teaching this and he's teaching that and some quite interesting stuff that you won't hear from most preachers. You won't hear this just everywhere, but you hear it from my ministry. And maybe it was coincidence, maybe it wasn't coincidence. He dropped dead of a heart attack. Careful about taking stuff in your mind, running off with it, thinking that you have to have what nobody else has. We're going to, we're not even going to look at the scripture, but I'm going to say this, listen. Jesus did not teach us to worship him in spirit and conspiracy. He didn't say worship me in spirit and theory. What's he say? Spirit and Truth. And then I'll just call your attention to this lady. She came to Jesus. She was an outsider. She came to him, said, son of David, used all this great religious language. Son of David, have mercy on me, O thou son of David. My daughter grievously vexed with a devil. Help me. And the Lord answered her, not just ignored her. And you know the story, it kept going. And finally it says she worshiped him. And. And Jesus turned to her and said, it's not right to take what belongs to the children and cast it to dogs. What did she say? Two words, truth. Lord. The power flowed. She was healed. That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. I'm going to be one that loves the truth, is committed to the truth, and will shut out other things. If God doesn't say, this is for you, I don't need to hear it. I don't need to read it. Thank you, Master. Glory to God. Thank you for the truth you've given us. Thank you for keeping us straight. Thank you for, for keeping us successful and that we'll have all you have for us. Because the flow from you to us is full and free, and we're set free from the truth we know. In Jesus name, Amen. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Glory to God. I, I before I know, Pastor Nancy, you can come. I believe we're going to minister to the sick some more, but if you would, sitting there, we're not going to have any kind of come forward or anything, but if there's something the Lord is dealing with, you about to get right with somebody, the truth, where you haven't told it, where you need to get it right. Commit to it tonight. Commit to it. You hear me? Right now. Commit to it. Commit to it. It might be something that you might think just a small thing that, you know, you could say that was a small thing, you know, I didn't sleep with somebody. I did. I didn't do something like that. You know what I mean? I just withheld something. Commit to it. How many will do that? Glory to God, Pastor.
A
Praise the Lord. Stand with us to your feet tonight. Father, we're so grateful for what we've heard. Thank you for your word that keeps us safe. We thank you for that word. We thank you for that word. Hallelujah. We worship you. Thank you, brother Joel. So good. So good. Fresh, refreshing. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We give you thanks and praise. We give you thanks and praise. Father, we're so, so Grateful we are so, so grateful. We worship you. We worship you, Jesus. We worship you, Jesus. We glorify you. We magnify you. We worship, Worship you, Jesus. We glorify you. Hallelujah. Because what brother Joel was ministering along the lines of it, it involves, and he referred to it, the mind. So I want to minister to those who you said now see every, every single one of us, every day, every day we cast down imaginations. We bring every thought into captivity. And for in us doing that, that means there's going to be thoughts that are suggested that aren't the word that come. And we. So that's just the lifestyle of the believer. We pay attention to our thought lives, that we're watchful over our thought lives. And sometimes you can, you know, it seems like there may be an escalation of things against the thought life. So I'm not really referring to that because we all have to deal with that just, just by walking in the light of the word. But if there's somebody here that you have been harassed and tormented and what he's talking about to where a strong delusion in the sense of it seems like there's something else working against you. And it almost, if I seem to say it this way, but it almost seems as though your mind isn't your mind. Your mind is still your mind. But to you it seems like your mind isn't still your mind. Well, part of our inheritance in Christ is of course, healing and freedom and deliverance and prosperity. Prosperity, but also a sound mind is part of our inheritance. Amen. And so if you say I would like for. I would like to be ministered to, because it seems like I need help in taking a stand with this. And of course you have to stand against it and hands can be laid on you and when you walk away, you'll still have to take a step, you know, but there is help. I said there is help. And so if that describes you, if you would come up here, and I'm not trying to coerce, I would love it if no one came up. So please don't think that I'm just trying to work somebody to come up based on what he preached or anything. But there are, there are situations where people really need that divine assist and, and that's part of your rights in Christ is to have that sound mind. Amen. So if that's you, come up here real quickly, otherwise we'll go on with other things. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. And I so appreciate, I so appreciate what Brother Joe was Talking about is you can't just let your mind go anywhere and think you're going to end up at the right place. The way your mind ends up at the right place is you let your mind go the right direction, Right? And so it is our right and our privilege to. To watch over and say, that's not a right thought. I won't take it. My husband used to say these words all the time, and I so love it. He said, I. When a wrong thought would come, he'd say, I'd say, that's not my thought. That's not my thought. You answer it instead of turning it over and following it. But what happens is you can get entrenched after time of doing it, because the devil will. There are seasons where he may escalate that mental pressure. But just because I tell you, and I say this to help those that are up here, I love something. One of the things that God helped me in a time of great pressure on the mind, because I had the thinking that if I was. If my. If I had faith and if my faith was working, I wouldn't be facing what I was facing. But God helped me because what was happening, I was doing all I knew to do. And it didn't seem like I was making progress. And one day. And that. That left me a little, if I could say this, feeling hopeless. Well, I'm doing all I know to do, and I'm still not making progress. And I remember he took me over. I'll never forget it. I remember what house we were at. I went in the backyard, I was sitting at our patio table, and. And God began to teach me. And out of Matthew, chapter 7, verses 24, 25, around in there the two houses which represent really two lives. And it says, and the rains came. Amen. The rains descended. The floods came. The wind blew and beat on that house. And I said to God, I said to him, I said, I feel like my mind has been beat on. I'm doing all I know to do. And it just seems like someone has me in a corner just pummeling me. I just feel like I've been beat on. And he took me over to that verse and he said, both houses felt the beating. Both houses were rained on. Both houses. The floods came. Both houses. The winds blew. Both houses had a beating process happen on them. And he said to me, which what? Determined victory or not? And I said, if the house was still standing after all that. And he said to me, are you still standing? I said, yeah, I am. I haven't Cast aside my faith. I'm still answering things. So he said. So it's not whether the house felt it or not, as to whether it succeeded. I go, got it. Faith doesn't mean you don't feel. Faith means you don't. You don't fall. You just keep doing. Day after day. You outlast the storm. And when. When I said to him, as I said, it feels like I've been beat on, you already said to me, that's the fourth and final stage, meaning the storm being over is right around the corner. Amen. So just know, just because the beating, I've been there. Different ones can say we've been there. But that only gives us experience with the faith, with faith. Amen. And just know this. Just because there can seem a sense of hopelessness that's part of the lie. That's part of the lie to beat down the faith. Try to beat you out of faith. But I want you to know, because of what I went through, I was able to help people in a way that I couldn't before that. Because I know what you feel. I know how. How. How savage the enemy can be. He's brutal. But I want you to know that which you're founded on is so much stronger than the brutality of any attack. Don't. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Your mind is your mind. It still belongs to you. Amen. Amen. You just keep answering and you keep rejoicing. No matter what you feel, Father, your word says that. And I had to learn to answer each thought that came specifically. If the devil would say, I'm going to kill you. Easy. I'm going to kill you early. You're not going to kill me early. See, you have to answer specifically, or the devil says, you know, you're going to end up in this situation. You're going to end up like this. I'm not going to end up like that. You have to answer that. You have to let him know you don't believe everything you hear. Amen. And so know. Know this. That when you leave tonight, victory is so yours, it doesn't matter what you feel. It is yours. Amen. Hallelujah. Brother Joel, you want to come up along with me, Minister? Come on, Sister Amy. Come on, Pastor Amy. And let's minister to these. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Congregation, reach your hands out toward these people. It matters to us that they receive the fullness. Hallelujah. So, Father, we thank you for the truth of your word. We hold to it. We hold to it. It is our victory. And Satan, we tell you, you take your hands. Fear, you take your hands. Torment, you take your hands. Doubt, you take your hands. We resist. We stand in agreement with these precious brethren and we resist. And we say, no, you don't. And you flee from them right now. In Jesus name, be free in Jesus name, Be free in Jesus name. Free in Jesus name. Free in Jesus name. And free in Jesus name. Congregation you believe in with us. We thank you, Father. Free in Jesus name. Free. Free in Jesus name. Free in Jesus name. Free in Jesus name. Free in Jesus name. Now for every one of those of you that were up here and even out the congregation, as you go to sleep at night, you address any troubling thought before you close your eyes. If threats, you answer it and then occupy your mind by picking up something else. And the best thing to pick up is praise and gratitude to God. Worship as you go to sleep. Worship. Worship out loud with your mouth. Father, I worship you. I worship you. I worship you. I worship you. I worship you. And if the enemy says you'll never be free, say, oh, it's so good to be free. It's so good to be free. It's so good to be free. It matters how you go to sleep. And I can say this, it matters how you wake up. The first thing when you wake up, take charge. Take charge. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And the best way to take charge is worshiping God. It throws your attention the right direction. Listen, when the devil has, if I could say this, held sway over your mind for a long time, he's not looking to give that up, but that it's not his choice, it's yours. Amen. But you have have to turn your back to anything that would trouble you. You have to turn your back. That means you can't play with, you can't touch into, you can't do anything, participate with anything that's troubled your mind. Amen. Hallelujah. Well, Pastor Nancy, how long do I have to keep doing that? It's a lifestyle for us. It's a lifestyle. And I guarantee you if you will give an all out effort to focusing and holding your attention on the Word and on the worship of God, it won't take long for you to tell a change. Amen. I'm telling you, it doesn't have to take weeks and months. Amen. Freedom is yours right now. And the best way to cooperate with that is where worshiping God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Praise the. Let's worship with them. Everyone Every one of you that were up here and every congregation member, let's worship. Father, we're worshiping you. We're so grateful. We're so. We're so thankful. Thank you for all the divine help. Thank you.
B
That.
A
That anointing is in us. Thank you. That greater is he that's in me than he that's in the world. Oh, I thank you. I thank you. I thank you. I thank you. Now, let me give you this bit of instruction. You're not worshiping, trying to get free. Because, see, the devil would love for you to even approach the worship from the wrong direction. Imagine yourself before Jesus and saying as though he were standing in front of you. Thank you that I'm free. Thank you that I'm free. And it takes. It takes. If I could say this, a spiritual effort on your part. Amen. But I want you to know the greater one in you enables you. Amen.
B
Hallelujah.
A
Hallelujah. During Brother Copeland's meeting, so many were ministered to. He laid hands on everyone that needed healing. Anybody that was here during those meetings. And you can say when Brother Copeland ministered to you that healing, something changed in your body. Raise your hand real high. Real high. Real high. Yeah. Look around. So many. So many were ministered to. And then the other night, I don't know. I believe maybe it was Tuesday night. I ministered by word of knowledge regarding healing. And you, let's say those of you raise your hand, who you say, I received a change. Something happened in me. Look at those hands. So during this week already, both of those, raise your hands when Brother Copeland minister to you or Tuesday night, when the Holy Ghost was working among us. Look at all. Look at all that. Look at what Jesus has done this week when healing. But if there's. There is. If there is someone here and you. You were not ministered to, and you want hands laid on you for healing for your heart. Not. I'm not. I'm not talking. When I say your heart. I'm not talking about by emotions. I'm talking about the organ of the heart. Something needs to be addressed in the health of your heart. Come up here and we'll minister to you. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Hopefully, that's. You've already. It's already been addressed. Love that. Because I'm not calling that out by word of knowledge. I'm calling that out because that's an endowment upon my life minister. And so that's why I call that one out. So nobody with heart then needs ministering. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Love that. Anyone with metal rods, plates, screws, anything with that, and you want hands laid on you to minister wholeness to you. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Oh, I'm liking this. I'm liking this. Hallelujah.

Podcast: Dufresne Ministries Podcast
Recorded: January 15, 2021 | World Harvest Church, Murrieta, CA
Speaker: Joel Siegel (Guest Minister), with Pastor Nancy Dufresne and Others
In this anointed episode, guest minister Joel Siegel addresses the importance of being “Committed to the Truth” in a time filled with competing voices and confusion. Rooted in scripture, Siegel defines the only reliable, absolute source of truth: God's Word, and emphasizes the necessity to love, know, and walk in that truth. He provides practical instruction for discerning truth from lies, encourages steadfast commitment even under pressure, and warns about the spiritual and practical dangers of deception. Pastor Nancy Dufresne joins with words of encouragement and an altar call for mental and emotional healing, followed by a powerful corporate time of ministry.
Siegel offers practical steps (timestamp ~54:30 onward):
On Sourcing Truth:
“If it’s not the word, you can’t say it’s the truth. Not 100%.” (B, 07:19)
On Spiritual Discernment:
“You only know the spirit of truth to the degree you know the word of truth.” (B, 13:00)
On Personal Example of Deception:
“Me wanting it to be true didn’t make it true.” (regarding an unrequited high school crush) (B, 16:52)
On Healing and Standing in Truth:
“If you want healing… walk in the word, walk in what God says rather than the thoughts of your own head.” (B, 12:52)
On Freedom through Truth:
“Are you as free as you can be? As long as there’s truth you don’t know, you’re not as free as you can be.” (B, 23:54)

Reject lying at every level.” | | 5 | Walk in Humility—“Pride grabs on to everything… Humility keeps you safe.” |
“I want to be one that loves the truth, is committed to the truth, and will shut out other things. If God doesn’t say, ‘this is for you,’ I don’t need to hear it. I don’t need to read it.”
(B, 65:10)
Jesus prayed for us to “be sanctified by the truth.” As Siegel and Dufresne urge, let loving the truth—not ease or trend—shape your thinking, speaking, and living.
