Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message.

Praise God. Well, praise God. You may be seated. I want to thank y' all for being here today. How many of you are not from here that you've come? Oh, my goodness, half the place. Praise God. Praise God. It's so good to have you guys here. Thank you for coming. It's such a blessing and we're excited to be here in this part of the country. And this is a healing crusade, so we should probably minister on healing a little bit. Right. One thing about healing is there's going to be a time that you need it or someone else does. We live in a world now where medicine has made great advances, but they figured out that they could market it and make it commercialized. And when they did that, they basically said kind of screw you. And they basically said, what we're going to do is sell you the problem, and then we're going to sell you the cure. And you'd think what you want about it, that's your opinion. I just talked to somebody a couple days ago, and they said, we went to an urgent care and the thing was so full, they basically said, take a number. And one of them said, I was there from 9 o' clock that morning to 11 o' clock at night before I got to see a doctor. Now, I don't know what it's like where you're from, but I'm just telling you, where I'm from, help doesn't look like it's that confident. It looks pretty rough. And the medical field is becoming a place where they just loop you in circles to drain you of finances. Now, that's my opinion. You think what you want, but that's the way that it's gone. Now, I believe there's great advances, but they're not going to give you those great advances because they need customers. And you don't get customers by getting them well, you keep them in a loop. And that's why biblical healing is so important. With those advances, it's been molested by men. So therefore, we're back here at the foundations of what we need to be believing. Does that make sense? I believe there's good people in that field, but we know that medicine is a huge deal. They have appeal for everything from dysfunctions all the way to cancers to all these. I mean, there's a pill for everything, and people love pills. I don't know what their deal is with it, but they just Take a pill and you'll feel better. But the side effects are sudden death. You may go to the moon, you know, your kids may die. And it's true. And that's why we've continued with this word of God about healing, because it is so crucial. Even with all the advances, I just feel like they're not available to us in that way that we believe that they are cancer. What I was told from, from a person, you take your own thought. But they cured it in the 70s. But they realized we can make a lot of money off of this thing. You know, all that money they break in with Cancer month. You know how much money comes into that? You think they're going to cure that and let all that money go. So we're back here at the Bible. You see what I'm saying? With all these advances, it's not available to you. Now, that's my opinion. You take what you want. So when it comes to the word of God, there is a place that faith is. Let's go to Hebrews 11:1. And I just. It's a very short verse, but I just want to read the first part of it or at least have you see it. And it says here, now, faith is the substance. Faith is the substance for what? Faith is the substance for impossibilities. Now, we would say that we're faith people and faith people, we're believers. But believing is a question mark on how you interpret it. Because people say they ask you a question or you ask them a question and they go, well, I'm believing. And they make it sound like a question, right? I'm aiming for that, but I don't know if I'm going to get that. Does that make sense? So really you're not believing. It's just a nice word to put in that place to say that you're believing because you don't want to say, well, you know, I really don't know what I'm talking about. And I really don't know what's going to happen. But believing, if you really believe, believing will always end up in the realm of impossibility because faith is not for what you can do physically. I can go down here and get a burger. It took. No faith, no faith. I just went down there and got it. I can go do many things and it takes zero faith. But there always will come a time where I'm on a physical, natural path and that path will come to a dead end road. And at that point I can either turn back and find another natural way. Or I can say, all right, this is what faith begins right here. Okay? One thing about things that are not possible is you physically can't complete it. One thing that I want to minister on this morning is faith for things that we've never seen before in the realm of healing. I want you to go to another verse, Matthew 15:30. Matthew 15:30. And it says here, then great multiples came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the mute, and the what? The maimed. One thing we don't see a lot of in the church is people that are maimed. Now, this word means that they are missing body parts, they're crippled, they're deformed, all those things. This is the realm of impossibility, because physically, there's no path for you in the natural. So therefore, where do I have to go? I've got to go to a different realm. I've got to go. And it says, faith is the what substance of things I cannot see. The way I see it, I know these things are bad luck. But those machines that go down and pick up a teddy bear, you know what I'm talking about, it's on the other side, but I can't physically touch it. So I got to have that claw go in and do some work for me. But the rigged. I know they're rigged. Just like the medical field, they're rigged. But what that is, is I need that thing to do work for me behind a place I can't get to. And that's the way faith is. It goes behind a place that you physically can't get to. And it's a substance that produces outward a physical object. So if you're lucky enough to win the pickup thing, it drops it from a place you couldn't get to to the physical ramp to where you can now grab it. That's true. So it takes. One thing that happened to me recently is we had Dr. Bill Winston, and he, in passing through a sentence, said that faith can put leaves on a staff. And I thought. And I didn't know that scripture, and I thought, what's he talking about? Well, I looked it up, and it's. Aaron's staff was put in the tribal deal, and they were disputing a situation, and God said, throw in your staves, and it's going to produce leaves, walnuts and all this stuff, and it's going to show you who the real leader is. And I thought to myself, if God can make a walking stick produce leaves and almonds, how come we can't produce the Things that we should be seeing. How come a walking stick is more powerful or looks more powerful than what we're producing? So there must be a realm that we're not stepping into to see the things that we're seeing. I believe it's from a place of comfort, because in these places is not comfortable. It takes faith. It takes faith, but faith goes to impossible places. It's not something that you can physically do yourself. So it takes somebody with faith or substance to get into this realm. Amen. So that means that he healed the maimed, he healed cripples. And I say in passing a lot that God has healed people without arms. They have arms. But I got to thinking about it and I say it so quick, I probably should go a little bit further because I do believe that there is. In my lifetime, I've been taught biblical verse from the time I was a child. I'm now 40 years old and I've not seen the things that I was told when I was a child. I'm not blaming nobody. I'm just saying I believe that there is a place that exists that other people saw and told us about, but I've never seen it. So that means if I've not seen it, then I may need to reproduce it. And you can do it with me. Because there was a lot of people, not a lot, a group of people that knew how to work this and they lived in a realm that was impossible, but manifested reality. So that means that there was a place that there were people that were maimed, completely distorted, and then completely healed of that deal. And we need to be walking in this place because it's easy to believe. Whatever, a cold or something. Those things are fine to believe for, but to me they feel like they're very minimal in the scope of what I'm actually seeing in my spirit. I'm not against those we should believe for those things, but I believe that there's something greater that we should be believing for. The more you talk about these things, the more they're going to manifest in, in our life. One thing about me is if I sound like I'm bragging, maybe I am, maybe I'm not, I don't know. But one thing about me, I'm very resourceful and I can figure things out. There's not much I can't do. I'm a very handyman. I can do whatever I set, I set my mind to. I can weld work on cars, landscaping, tractors, excavators, security systems, computers. I've done it all and I'm not bragging, but I realize I'm not here for money. I'm not here to just give you guys a nice word. I can go do something else. This isn't that, you know, like, I'm here to try to make y', all, to win you over. I'm not trying. I'm not trying to do that. I'm not a pastor, you know, I don't give you a good service. I'm kind of like a carnival. We come in town and we get everybody crazy and then we leave, you know, and then. And then the local park is like your pastor, you know, it just. So when it comes to miracles, to believe for them, I really don't have nothing to lose because if it doesn't work out, I'll just try again. Nobody likes failure. I don't like failure. Failure bothers me. But one thing when it comes to faith is I can't be deterred if something doesn't work or does work, I have to just keep standing on impossibilities in the realm. We say, hey, you know what? That's not what the word says. So it must be there's somewhere greater I need to get to. There must be a place. I have a young man in our church that was born without hands on his limbs. He has no hands. What do you want me to tell him? Sorry, kid, pound sand, life sucks for you. Or do you want me to tell him there's actually a place that exists that is impossible, but by faith that substance can produce that? Now that sounds wild. But you know why? Because you've never seen it. You remember the old movie? It was Godzilla from the Japanese one. And it looks like guys holding like a cartoon figure. They thought that was the greatest thing they ever saw. When that came out, it probably looked awesome. But if they saw the stuff that we're seeing today, they would be just floored. They would think it was real in front of them. But to us, it doesn't mean anything really. Why? Because we've seen it so much. There is a place that exists when you get over into the maimed that you're so used to it, it doesn't mean that much to you. You just want more. I get bored with these movies now. Right, because you've seen it so much. So there's a place that exists that we can get into by faith if we believe. To say, you know what? That's cool that we're believing for your cold, but I believe there's a place that exists that arms grow out that legs grow out. Well, why are you saying that? Because people need it. They don't need it. I don't need belief for it. But they need these arms. Have you ever cut yourself bad enough where it altered the way you. You did lie for a couple days. We've all done that, right. And it altered the way that we adjust. Like, you get a blister, you put your shoe on a little different, don't you? That's what sickness does. It alters you to a place that refines you to its condition. So by faith, you can say, I know that you have to touch a door, a door handle. You have to push down with your nub and. And finesse the door like this. You shouldn't have to do that. So that means that I can go into a place of impossibility through faith, because it is a substance that exists on the other side, and I can pull it and say, I command that arm to grow out. And it has to do it because he's just to do what his word says he does. So therefore, that's what I'm believing for. It's bigger than what I've done before. I've never seen it, but I believe it exists because the word of God says it. And if you don't, then that's fine. I really don't care. You believe what you want to believe. If you want to believe for colds and sniffles, you could do that. That's fine. But there's people that need this stuff. There's people. There was a woman here with cancer last night. You want me to tell you you better go to the medical field? Well, they're going to run you through the whole loop, and then you're going to die in the end. Now, that's my opinion. You do what you want with it. I believe there's good people in the deal, but it's not always deal. You know, you need some harder stuff. You need some faith. They said one in two people in America will get cancer. One in two. So just pick one. It's the next one right next to you. I don't have cancer. Must be you. But what I'm saying is that's how common it's coming. With the world full of medicine they send in, one in two people is going to get cancer. So what do you need? You need some faith, you need some substance to get to the other side of where you're at. Amen. He healed the maimed, the blind, the mute, the lame, the blind, the mute, the lame, and many others. And they laid down at Jesus feet. And what did he do? He healed them. He healed them. It really doesn't. We only have 28 verses of him doing healings or something. And I wish to know back then these guys are probably chiseling on a rock or something trying to write all this stuff down and like, oh, just forget it. It's just going too quick. I get it. I would do the same thing. I don't have time to look at a piece of paper when people's arms is growing out, when people are coming off the stretchers. I don't want to write nothing down. I'm not that good of a speller anyways. I don't even know what's going on. I'll just draw you a picture. How about that? So it matters. It matters how we believe. In the scope of believing. What level is your faith going to be possible? One of the things that I've noticed, I'm not putting nobody down. I put my own self in the same question is I've seen ministers that have been in the gospel, people that are highly elevated in the word of God. When they had a symptom, they sat down in sickness, sat down in it. I judged myself. One of the things I've thought about, I thought they not putting them down. But I thought, man, I thought you had a little bit more grit about you than that. I'm not putting no one down because the word says when you sit down in that sickness, it's going to take you. And I thought to myself, how come you don't fight that? You know the word of God, you know it. So it takes somebody with grit to get through this stuff. It takes somebody that doesn't care what others think about them. Remember what I said, I'm going to do something else. This doesn't bother me. I'm not here for a job to give you a nice message. If you don't like me, that's fine. If you knew me, you'd probably like me. I'm actually a really nice guy. But I say things because I'm trying to jump start you. I'm trying to get you moving in the right direction. One thing that I think we should bring back, there's a huge thing, you do what you want. But there's this whole thing about shame. And you know what I think they're like, you shouldn't shame people. I think we should bring shaming back to a level. I think we should bring it back. When I was a kid, boy, I stuttered that kids go Da, da, da, da, da. And they make fun of me. And you just got through it. You just got over it. You know, you didn't go shoot the place up. You just got over it. You know, that was shame. They shamed me for something I couldn't help. What do you want me to do? You got through it. And if you get touchy with the word of God. If you get touchy with what I'm telling you, if you get touchy and think, well, the biggest thing. It's crazy people, is there's always some kind of money thing with people, you know? And I've been guilty of it, too. You know why? Because I didn't have money, and it made me mad when other people did. And that's really not my makeup to be mad. But it makes you mad when you're not doing well, right? You want to be a winner. Nobody likes to be a loser. I could say something about the Gators, but I'm not going to say that. See, this is that country. I wear an LSU hat here, and people are like, you're wearing the wrong hat for this country. It's a mascot. Calm down. This is not even reality. It's a football thing. Come on. Just. It's like, you know, it's not a big deal. They're like, it's a big deal around here. But I wear it because my wife's a Gator fan. So I just. So we went down to Jessie's place, and that's. What. Is that the Tigers? So I had to go. I had to go get a hat and make her upset. You know, the Gators ain't been good since Tebow left. It's been. Been a while. It's been a while. Like, they're going to sit. I told you, you ain't gonna like me. It's fine. But I'm just telling you, I'm not a sports person. If they lose, I'm like, oh, well, whatever. See you later. I'm gonna go back to do something else. Some of y' all take a week and a month to get over it, you know, It's a big deal. It's a big deal. So faith is the substance. It's for the evidence of things. What? That's what it's for. It's for the evidence of things not seen. So you say, well, I'm a faith person. Are you sure about that? I asked myself that question. Calm down. Are you sure about that faith? Well, let me say this. There must be a continuously arousing of what you're believing for. Write that down. Because if. Okay. I was in Clarksville, Tennessee, at a church. I did a healing line. I mean, the front, wonderful church. I love that. Pastor. The front of the church filled up like. I mean, the front of the church was probably. It's probably double this length. That line filled up three times, people, back and forth, back and forth. I had caught out of the glimpse of my eye on the back corner a young man with no hands. And I, you know, I just thought about it, okay? And I thought to myself, and I'm doing the healing line in the middle of the healing line. I'm looking around, I look down that way, and I look down this way. I do not see him in the line. I don't see him nowhere. And I said, I saw a young man in here with no arms. Where you at? And it took him a minute to come up there. And I realized, you know, naturally, I don't want to bring this kid up from the natural right, but I thought to myself, you know what? I don't have anything to lose. Why don't I believe for this young man? I stopped the whole line. I said, young man, come up here. I said, I don't know if anyone's ever believed for you, but I'm going to tell you today, I believe with you that you have arms that grow out because it belongs to you. Because Jesus healed the what the maimed. He healed you. And it would be against the word of God for you not to have arms. It'd be against what God said. So therefore, today I declare new arms for you in Jesus name. And his dad came up and I said, sir, do you believe that? And he's crying because he's dealt with this his whole life. And I said, sir, I want you to know that arms belong to this young man. Don't ever think that they don't come comfortable with this. And you say, that's pretty big. Well, what do you want me to tell them? I'm just here for flus and coughs? Are we here for that? Are we just here for the easy? Are we here for the hard? Am I here for impossible or impossible? I'm not here for something that Tylenol can fix. I'm here for something that doesn't exist. Amen. So it takes some separate people of faith to get into this round to call those things out. It's not a lot of times I see preachers call that out. I'm not bragging, but I don't see it a lot. But one thing about me. If this doesn't work out for me, I'll go do something else. I can go do something else. It's no, I, I, I can go do logging. It doesn't matter, you know, I'll go do something else. But I would still believe that this place exists. I believe this place exists. Amen. Are y' all being helped so far? Let's go to Mark 9. 23. Mark 9. 23. A healing crusade, Right. Well, we're talking about healing. We're talking about healing. What does healing sound like? I asked God that. I said, sir, what am I to expect when I do see that? Does it just appear, like, fade into life? Does it pop out of the existing. I don't know. I don't know. I guess I really don't care. But sometimes my wife, her chest will pop. Bam. And I go, my God, woman. Yep. Chest. And I thought, I bet a miracle may sound a little bit like that. Bones cracking and popping. That must be what it sound like. And I feed all you said, well, why do you do that? Because we'll take care of the flu stuff. But I'm here for the big stuff. I'm here to see people, the maimed, the blind, the deaf, to be healed. What does it sound like? It probably sounds like bones breaking. That's probably what it sounds like. And I believe that place exists. There's people before us that saw this stuff. Maybe you've seen it, and I'm grateful for that, but I've not seen it into the level that I want to see it. I want to see. God said this to me. He said, will you lay hands on kids with down syndrome? I never thought about it. Yeah, I'll do that. Why not? What do I got to lose? It's not possible. You see that? Because the medical field would already fix says that they're missing some stuff. Well, that's what maimed means. It means you're missing some stuff. So it means that it could be put back, you say, well, I've never seen that. Well, me neither. But you would think, should I quit? Should I not believe that? Or should someone step on the threshold of miracles? Or should we step back? Should we go to a place that we've never been before? Well, I'm just from a small town. Who cares where you're from? Get over that stuff. So it takes somebody to proclaim it, talk about it, and manifest it, activate it. Amen. All right, I want to go to Mark nine. I'm going to back up here till, let's see, here, 20. Let's back up to 20. Then they brought to him. And when he saw him immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground and swallowed, foaming at the mouth. So he asked the Father, how long has this been happening to him? And he said, from when? From a childhood. So he's been like this his whole life and often it throws him into the fire and he goes into the water about drown himself. Then he says, but if you can do what? If you can do what, have compassion and help us. And Jesus said, what does he say? What's he say? What's he say? If you can believe. If you can believe. If you cannot, then you can't. But if you can. How many things? Oh, all things are what to him that believes. How is it possible with faith, the substance of the next round? Faith is the substance, the next realm. Our Bill Winston says 4D. There's a place that exists on the other side of the physical realm. That faith is the pipeline that pulls it into reality. I'm going to read that again. If you can believe, all things are possible, are possible to him who what? So therefore, arms growing out is a biblical promise that has been given to me because the word of God says, everything that I've done belongs to you. He did this. Therefore this is something I don't have to pray about and I don't have to ask God if he did this to me. Healing belongs to me. Therefore I don't even have to ask a question. I just manifest it and I say, if I can believe, well, how do I believe? You have to meditate on greater things than the flu. You have to meditate on things greater than what you've ever done before. People have kids and all of a sudden all that faith they had and the amens they gave when their baby's coughing, all of a sudden they're in and they're all worked up because now it's hitting home. It's really hitting home now. And they're a little bit worked up and they're calling us, what should we do? Maybe you should get some faith and all that amen in. You do maybe cash in on that, right? You can go sit into urgent care from 9 in the morning till 11 o'. Clock. Or you could use some faith, get into another round. I'm not against those things. But hey, it takes some grit. This place isn't easy. It's not for babies. Anything above getting born again is going to take some grit. Okay? Salvation, no problem. After that, it's on like Donkey Kong. It's going to take some grit. Immediately, the father of the child cried out and said with tears, why is he crying? Because his son's convulsing on the floor. It doesn't look good. And he said, help my unbelief. Why is he saying that? Because physically, this kid's rolling around on the floor in front of us, and everyone's watching, making a scene, and he said, help my unbelief. And he said. And he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying, deaf and dumb spirit, I command you to come out of him and enter him no more. And the spirit, what it do? It gave one last hurrah and it cried out, and then it convulsed him again. Most of us, we cut it off here. All right, I'm done. You know, we're over it. But it took somebody like Jesus, like us, hopefully, to say, it didn't go the way I thought it was going to go. But maybe I shouldn't give up. What do I got to lose? That's the question. What do we got to lose? You don't have nothing to lose. You know, if. Now, if you care what people think about you, this isn't for you. I'm sorry, this place is not for you. Because it's going to take somebody where people think you're kind of crazy. And that's fine. This is kind of crazy. But this is existence for Christians. This place exists. This place exists because it's not physical. It's not natural. This is supernatural. This is like superhero stuff. Amen. And so we know that this young men, it got healed, okay? So Bill Winston says about that staff, you know, he just says it. And I thought to myself, I thought, my God, I thought, I feel like a loser. And it's just like the staff just kind of ignited something. And I thought, man, that's pretty neat. Like, that place exists, that miracles and things that I've never seen before exist in the realm. How do I draw those out? Because we're faith people, right? I mean, we say, yeah, I'm a person of faith, okay? But faith isn't physical. It's not in a doable realm. Faith exists. It goes from this place to this place. It's the claw on the other side of the window that brings the product over. So when you're faith people, you're basically a people that believe in impossibilities. Is that true? And if you don't believe that, then you may be saved by faith, but you're really Not a faith person. You're just kind of a believer through a window. You're just kind of watching from the sidelines. But there's people of faith that believe things that don't actually exist in this realm. So I want to encourage us in closing. I'm not going to be like those preachers that say, I'm closing. They go on another hour. You lied to us, preacher. You lied to us. Pastors. Kids know about preachers lying. They say, well, I'm an honest man. No, you're not. You're a liar. You said in closing. And then you make a stand for 40 minutes and you wander around and shut it down. If you say you're going to shut it down, you know, they go, oh, my God. You can't say that. Look, I told you, I'm leaving. Look, you're convicted, aren't you? I know you're convicted. You can't do it. Just piss me straight. You know what? I lied to y'.
A
All.

But next week, I'll be honest. I want to talk about believing for a minute, okay? I was here probably in closing. Give me, like, 10 minutes, okay? It's 10:54. What did I say? Okay, watch this. So I was here about eight years ago. I don't remember. And at that time, I think we just hired Josh. Josh. We brought him on to be a pilot for a plane we did not have. We didn't have it till recently. And we had come together and we had said, look, let's make flight plans. Let's pull all this stuff together for planes. Why are you talking about planes? Calm down. I've not even ridden on it, like four or five times. It ain't mine. Calm down. Don't get all worked up about it. People get all worked up. You know why you're worked up about it? It's cause you don't have one. That's why you get worked up. There was a time we didn't have one, so I was worked up, too. Just chill. Just chill for a minute, okay? And I got up in this church and I preached a sermon, and I gave a thing and said, I believe this place exists for us. But physically, it no way we could have had one at that time. We was backwards at that time. I'm not saying that I was perfect, but I knew when I read that paper here, and I said, look, this is what this would cost. This is. And I said, is it possible? And of course, they were nice enough to say yes. And I thought to myself, I do believe this place exists. I believe it's possible that we can have that amongst everything that I'm saying it must exist. It used to exist for us, but I believe it'll be in a greater year. It had been almost 8, 9 years until the manifestation of it. I'm really going to make you guys upset because now faith always reaches into the next realm when it's in front of you. You no longer need faith for it. It's sitting in front of you. So I got to go back into another round. You say, well, what are you saying that for? Because we're believing for another one to replace this one. No, maybe just have two of them. See, I told you he's going to be upset. What you need that for? What's it matter? Because it's like. It really. I'm putting it in a very nice way. It doesn't matter because it's part of faith. Because basically I got to keep going in faith. And if it requires two to make my faith keep going, then that's what it takes. Okay, so we already got this one. You say, is it hard to maintain? No, I don't maintain it. You say, that's crazy. No, that's what all that faith I'd put in all that time, right. I believe God for that. For all them years. Faith is for upgrades. I don't use it for maintenance. My God supplies. How much? All what? Oh, he supplies it all. Okay, so therefore, I use my faith for upgrades. That's it. You say, well, do you believe for the maintenance for this plane? No. What do you think I believe for. You think God's going to give me something that he didn't pay for? That's like giving a kid a toy with no batteries. And say, well, you didn't believe for it. No, just you just. You came with it. That's a dirty thing to do, right? Give a kid a nice remote control car and don't give them the. And say, well, you got to believe me for it. Dirty rat. So when it comes to faith, it's progressing all the time. So we're on to the next one. It wasn't like a month later. I said, I went through the team, I said, look, guys, we need to believe for the next one, because that's what faith does. If my faith isn't in that realm, it's really not doing much. Right, well, you guys say, well, I'm maintaining what I got. You don't need to maintain what you got. That's part of being a child of God. My God supplies how much there you go. So you do what you want with it. If you want to believe God for your house payment, your car payment, your electric payment, you can be bound up in all that stuff. That's up to you. But I'm telling you, there's a place that exists where you could just believe. For upgrades in life. Healing for some people is an upgrade. People with no arms, that's an upgrade. Amen. It belongs to them. And so we're going to be in that place. Amen. Have you been helped today? Look, I didn't even heard Harley go 10 minutes. So I want to encourage you today that we need to get into the place where we believe that arms, legs, eyes, everything that exists in that realm, that we can have it. That people. There's people that need what we have. There's people that are paralyzed in remote controlled cars and they run around when they need healing. Amen. That place exists. I want to read this real quick. We prayed for a 17 year old man. His name was Wilberforce. At the age of nine, he suffered typhoid fever for six weeks and it completely destroyed his hearing and vocal cords, leaving him stone deaf and mute. Later, both his parents died and left him a roaming orphan. He had learned to read and write so he could talk to people by writing of little notes. He always carried a piece of paper and a pencil. A nice woman took him in and basically helped him despite his problems. The lady paid for him to learn. What is it? No, no, no. A clarinet. That's what it's called. Tonight he. He came to the meeting. He came out and watched. He had seen so many miracles that he decided that God could heal him. Each night he would stagger to get near the front. Tonight he got my attention. He jumped on the platform and knelt before me. And it was so touching that I could not refuse him. I placed my hands on his head with my forefingers in his ears. There was no way to communicate. And I commanded the deaf and dumb spirit to come out. That destroyed this man's hearing. I adjured to leave him in the name of Christ. So still on his knees. The lad looked up, so vibrant and sure of his miracle. But when we checked him, he could hear nothing. Yet I knew he had perfect faith. And I knew that the spirit of deafness had to obey me. The lad stood to weep. I pulled up his chin in a motion for him to get up. He arose. He heard noises around him. Then in tears turned with joy. I asked the people that played the music and he was thrilled. Then we all sang and he was simply ravished by the singing and the music. But still no sound came from his mouth. I wrote a note. Only believe God healed your ears. He will hear your voice. Keep trying to talk. He clutched the note and disappeared. I'm writing you this sometime later because I want to share what happened the next morning when he arose. He had perfect voice and his miracle was complete. So there is a place that exists that may not look like we think it is. But I'm telling you this place exists where arms grow out, legs grow out, eyes come back into sockets, hearing is reversed, cancer is gone. Anything that's wrong with your body is completely resolvable with the word of God. But it takes faith, and it takes us going into a place. If we're faith people, then we live in a realm of impossibility because there's people all around us doing everything they can, and they're doing a lot. And guess what? It's natural. And they're pretty successful. But think about that realm that exists of impossibilities. Have you been helped today? I appreciate it, and what a blessing to be with you guys today. Amen. Amen.

Podcast: Dufresne Ministries Podcast
Speaker: Stephen Dufresne
Event: High Springs, Florida | JTH Crusades 2026 | Monday AM
Date: March 13, 2026
This episode, delivered by Stephen Dufresne at a healing crusade, revolves around the concept of developing "faith for impossibilities." Drawing from scriptural examples and personal anecdotes, Stephen challenges believers to expand their faith beyond healing for minor ailments and to actively believe for miracles in the realm of impossibility—healing the maimed, restoring lost body parts, conquering chronic and incurable conditions. The message is both an encouragement and a provocation for Christians to pursue faith at a higher, more daring level consistent with biblical precedent.
On Modern Medicine
On Faith for Impossibilities
On Failure and Grit
On Creativity in Faith
On Healing the Maimed
On Mark 9:23
On Personal Faith Encounters
Stephen Dufresne’s tone is direct, sometimes humorous, often provocative, and intentionally challenging. He intersperses scriptural teaching with storytelling and personal reflection, encouraging listeners to leave behind “comfortable” faith and pursue the “supernatural” and “impossible.”
Stephen’s message is an urgent call to expand the scope of faith—to move from the expectation of healing minor ailments to actively believing for the miraculous restoration of the maimed, the incurable, and the unseen. He insists that such faith is not only biblically warranted, but necessary in a world increasingly incapable of delivering healing through natural means. The episode ends with testimonies and an exhortation to be people of possibility—those whose faith disrupts the boundaries of what’s humanly achievable.
