Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Being Present to Receive Divine Direction

• Nancy opens with an anecdote about a service with Dad Hagin and Ed Dufresne, highlighting the importance of showing up to experience and receive from God.
  • “You got to show up to find out… Some unveilings are, you know, they're dependent on the location. You got to show up to the location to step into some things and to go further into some things.” (02:05)
• Emphasizes that not every service or calling follows a pre-set plan; the flow of the Holy Spirit often takes precedence over human preparation.
  • “In the flow is the help. In the flow is the answers. In the flow is the utterance.” (05:30)

2. The Principle of Acceleration and Following the Example

• God is calling the Church to move faster—especially in areas like building projects and assignments. Natural processes may not be fast enough, which means embracing supernatural ways.
  • “We don't have time to lay hold of and build buildings the way they've been done in the past. Time will not allow that whole natural process, meaning we're going to have to have some supernatural processes…” (09:10)
• The importance of learning from those further ahead:
  • Parable of the race car driver and the lead car, illustrating that acceleration comes from following closely behind someone skilled, not lagging at a distance.
    • “Just being on the right course doesn't mean you're going to finish the way you could finish and should finish… Your only job is to keep pace and then you'll move into my skill.” (16:50)

3. Connection and Proximity Matter

• The closeness with which you connect to your pastor or spiritual leader determines your progress and protection.
  • Example: Members who remain tightly connected during recession experienced much less loss.
    • “What is that? How close you connect. Don’t loosen the connection just because there's pressure from without.” (22:03)
• The woman with the issue of blood: her faith caused her to show up and press through; proximity brought her miracle.
  • “Some people don't receive what God has them for—one reason, they don't show up. Just don't show up.” (27:57)

4. Recognizing and Responding to the Time

• Using the wedding preparation analogy, Nancy shares how what used to take years to prepare must now be accomplished much more rapidly; end-times urgency is upon us.
  • “What time permitted at 12 months, 18 months, time doesn't permit at a week. The closer we get to the bride and the bridegroom, the time of that, the clock and the calendar mean something different now.” (35:18)
• Acceleration in the world is reflective of what God is doing in the Church—not vice versa.
  • “Don't ever believe that the wisdom of the technology is due to some man who's a genius. It's because God opened a window of his wisdom… That's because of what’s happening with the church, not what's happening in the world. It's accelerated…” (36:34)

5. God Provides Examples for Acceleration

• Mary and Elizabeth (Luke 1): God put Mary (early in her pregnancy) with Elizabeth (six months along) so she could see what was ahead and be prepared.
  • “She’s pregnant herself. He sent her to someone more pregnant. Further along so that she would know what to expect. How thoughtful of God.” (41:26)
• God wants us to receive impartation and supernatural acceleration by being around and learning from those walking further in the plan.

6. Supernatural Provision and Breaking Limiting Mindsets

• Nancy recounts personal and ministry testimonies of buildings and resources coming supernaturally.
• Warns against limiting God with small thinking about provision—relates stories of preachers and congregations believing to raise millions and refusing to operate based on bank balances alone.
  • “God funds the plan. If I stay on the plan, I get funded… The problem is the way we think about money. I might not have—I just don't touch it in my thought life.” (01:06:12)
• Includes testimony of Charles Parham’s Bible school and supernatural building provision (01:16:05).

7. Practical Call for Action

• Encourages ministers and leaders to step forward for impartation for building plans and for divine acceleration—there is no limit to what God can hand over.
  • “Who says we have to build it all ourselves? Yes, we may build it ourselves, but who says it can only be that way?” (01:21:44)
• Warns: In times of acceleration, everything must be tightly bolted down, connections must be secure, or the momentum can cause injury—not just blessing.
  • “That's why acceleration is not just for fun. I tell you, you better be serious about acceleration. It's no game.” (01:00:00)

8. Impartations and Personal Ministry/Declarations

• Nancy leads prayers and speaks over pastors, ministers, and the congregation:
  • “Divine multiplication, divine acceleration, harvest on the generosity of the seed.” (01:39:10)
• Encourages personal responsibility in faith, pressing for more, and refusing to idle or disconnect—especially as time is short.
