Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message. Well, I was at the end, I was gonna do this at them, but when we were coming into town, I came in ahead of Pastor Nancy. I kept picking up that maybe somebody watching online, maybe you're not in here this morning, but somebody has an issue with their foot. I kept hearing a foot. There's a problem with the foot. Is there anyone in here and you say, that's me. I've got. Come up here. There. I just kept hearing a foot right back here. Come up here. There's something. I don't know if it was broken. I don't know if it's with the, the joints. I, I, I didn't get any. I just kept hearing a foot. God has made all power available for every part of our body. Every part. There's nothing too small, nothing too big. Amen. We thank you, Father, and for our feet, right. We thank you, Father, for the power that's in here this morning. We thank you for resurrection power. We thank you, Father. You make all things new, no matter how long we've been walking on them, no matter where we've been and what we've done, Father, you make all things new. We thank you, Father, for that healing power. We thank you, Father. Going into their bodies whole. There it goes. In Jesus name. He touched me. He touched me. In Jesus name. Is happening. And now I know he touched me and made me whole. Can you think back over your life at the times that you experience the power of God in the presence of God? And he ministered to you so sweetly, so sometimes, so specifically. Yes, he was ministering to everyone, but he touched your heart. He ministered something to your heart. Amen. Just give him thanks one more time this morning. We thank you, Jesus. Oh, Father, we thank you for your great love for us, that your goodness and your mercy, they follow us all the days of our lives. Father, we thank you. When we woke up this morning, there was new mercies waiting to meet us. We praise you, we thank you. And we give you glory in Jesus name. Amen. We'll turn to somebody before you're seated and say, I'm so glad to be with you this morning. Hallelujah. Like Pastor Debbie, I never tire of that song that does it for me every time. I want us this morning. I'm so grateful for our music team and how they follow the spirit of God. I didn't even tell David, Brother David this, but the other morning well, the day before, just in prayer in the afternoon, I had picked up, you know, that God wanted there. We needed to minister along the lines that we did, my husband and I, regarding those children and those with children that had what the world would say is condition that would separate them from others and separate them from a normal life. And. But I didn't quite know how to go about that. And I just knew the like pastor would say. I knew the first part. I didn't know if it was for her to minister at night, if that was going to come, you know, for her. And I was just praying that out, you know, you don't. I don't always know. I'm praying for my husband, I'm praying for her. And then I got my own service. So you don't know which part goes where and who's to do what. And so when you did that song, Miss Destiny got that song by the Spirit, and then you were absolutely right when she sang that second verse, the anointing came in to minister that way. So it was. So you. You picked it up. Exactly. And so then I knew, go ahead and do that that morning. And that's just kind of tagging on to what we've talked about with the music and the importance of the music, because that sensitivity to the spirit, it helped to open up the rest of the service and for us to step into the rest of the service and what the spirit of God wanted to do. And that clarity and instruction came not because I. I heard it beforehand, but because someone was obedient to the Holy Ghost that's on the music team. And then David recognized and. And if you have music people in your church or you. You do the music, don't diminish yourself. Say, well, I'm not David Ellis. Let me tell you, I'm not Pastor Nancy. I wish, you know, I think, oh, my gosh, Grant's so blessed. He got to follow me up. Pastoring, that's so easy. And, oh, my gosh, right. I. You would think the same thing. You know, that's true.

B
We think you're highly anointed, but.
- [06:52]
C
And greatly gifted.
- [06:53]
A
And then you go, yes. No, I. But, you know, that's. It's a fun job to try to.

B
Well, no one wanted to follow Moses, but it was God's plan.

Somebody had to. And, you know, and then you gotta follow up, you know, Reverend Joel and Pastor Amy, praise God. It's just the path that we're on. But you say, well, I'm not David, Brother David Ellis. But it's the same Holy Spirit. So you don't have to be Brother David Ellis, you've got the same Holy Ghost. You've got the same. And if your pastor puts you in that position, then it's the same. So spirit that's going to lead you in that portion of the service that's leading him. It's how much you choose and you decide to yield to that and become skillful with that assignment. So just remind yourself it's the same Holy Spirit. It's the same Holy Spirit. So thank you because I didn't share that with you, but it really helped. And you it was all, it all flowed so well together. But this morning, if you would turn with me first and I I won't take real long because what I want to do is really going to help us. Of course, many have been ministered this week, but what I want to share is going to help us in the time of ministry. Even tonight, when Pastor Nancy if you've waited this week to be ministered to and hands are laid on you or however the spirit of God moves this evening, I just want this to help build in that direction. But Revelation, if you would turn Revelation, chapter 21, you say, oh, my gosh, well, how are we? How are, how is it? How is Revelation? Where are we going here? But Revelation 21. And I quoted Dr. Bill Winston the other day when he said, I don't just make new things. God said, I don't make new things. I make all things new. And I have just continued to turn that over, that anything that I face that looks like it's too old, too far gone too far in a direction. God makes all things new. Amen. He makes just as we talked about Tuesday with that example of he didn't just erase some things, and you've got a couple of spots left that you feel like you have to get rid of or that he's aware of. The devil wants to make you aware of things that God has didn't just erase, he washed them away. He didn't erase your sins. I'm not crazy about that term because washing and erasing, we see, are two different things. Amen. I mean, magic erase does all right? There's nothing like good soap and water washing away. God washed you clean, not erased. You know, with the little residue hanging around the erase or half the eraser sitting on the paper that you're so aware. He wants us so aware of our cleanness and our oneness with him, that when symptoms try to come on us, we're so aware of how they don't belong there. I'm not going to live one moment separated and not being able to do something, go somewhere, function as a normal person. I'm not doing that because I am so one with him and his plan. Nothing will keep me out of fulfilling his plan and enjoying. How about enjoying our family's family? It was God's plan. And if something holds you back from enjoying your family and enjoying the blessings of God, that's not the will of God. And so here we see in verse Revelation 21, verse 5. And he who is seated on the throne said, see the amplified classic I'm reading out of. See, I make all things new. Verse 4 said, God will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more. Neither shall there be anguish, sorrow and mourning, nor grief, nor pain anymore. For the old conditions, in the former order, things have passed away. He says, and he who is seated on the throne, see, I make all things new. And I like this also. He said, record this, for these sayings are faithful, accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy and true. Verse 6. And he further said to me, it is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty, I myself will give water without price from the fountain springs of the water of life. He who is victorious. Victorious shall inherit all these things and will be God to him, and he shall be my son. Amen. He said, see, I make all things new. So we have to stop looking at our our own selves and what we can figure out to make things better. How about that? I just got. I need to figure out a way to make this better. How about we turn to the greater one on the inside that works with the Alpha and the Omega from the beginning to the end. He was the one hovering over the face of the of the deep before things were even created. And how about we turn to him, get in a posture and that every time something comes up, instead of turning to here, we turn to the one who helps make all things new. He'll take a dying business and he'll make it brand new. Amen. He'll take a marriage, my goodness. He will take a struggling marriage and make it brand new. Brand new. Amen. Two people that he's made new, he can take and do a work between them that makes even that relationship that seems too far gone brand new. Amen. He can restore back a child that seems like they will never return, they'll never come home, they'll never surrender to God. He can make that Relationship brand new. See, I make all things new. And what we. I love about this is when he says, see, that's my cue to get into the word, to see the examples of how he made others brand new. So we're going to do that. We've got two that I want to look at this morning. And. And then. And then we'll go. Luke, if you go with me. Luke, chapter eight. Luke, chapter eight. Luke, chapter 8, verse 26. And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man which had devils long time and wear no clothes, neither abode in any house but in tombs. And I'm going to read out the amplified classic. Said he stepped out of land there met him a certain man out of the town who had. What was he? He was separated. He was separated. Who had. Was possessed by demons. For a long time. Underline that. For a long time. For a long time. For a long time. For a long time. What's that thing that's been a long time? For a long time he had worn no clothes and he had lived not in a house but in the tombs. And when he saw Jesus, he raised a deep, terrible cry from the depths of his throat and fell down before him in terror and shouted loudly, what have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? What have we in common? I beg you, do not torment me. For Jesus was already commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had snatched and held him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the wilderness. Jesus then asked him, what is your name? And he answered, legion. For many demons had entered him, and they begged Jesus, do not command them to depart into the abyss. Bottomless pit. Now a great herd of swine was there, feeding on the hillside, and the demons begged him to give them leave to enter these. And he allowed them to do so. Then the demons came out of the man and entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep cliff into the lake and were drowned on. When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and told it in the town and in the country. And the people went out to see what had occurred. And they came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed in his right sound mind. And they were seized with alarm and fear. And those who had Also seen it told them how he who had been possessed with demons was restored to health. Amen. He came and was sitting at the feet of Jesus in his right mind and fully clothed. I love what Brother Copeland said. Where did the clothes come from? Do y' all remember that? Kind of like, where did the earthquake come from? Where did the clothes come from? And he said he believed Jesus knew exactly what he was going to do. Knew exactly because this man was famous in that region, kind of terrorizing everyone that walked along that. That road. They tried to bind him, they tried to put chains on him. They had tried to do everything they could to keep him. Not only was the enemy separating him, by the way, his condition, his mental condition, but the people wanted him separated. So the people fed. That looked like there was no help in the community. The community had rejected him, and rightly so. It wasn't safe. And Jesus unafraid, unafraid of what others would call unsafe, unworthy, unclean, unapproachable, and too far gone. Jesus showed up like Brother Copeland, he said he asked God, where'd the clothes come from? Jesus came prepared with a set of clothes, knowing exactly what he was going to do. He was going to make all things new. He was going to make all things new. This man's mind was not too far gone for Jesus. This man's body was not too bound and too chained and too controlled. And it wasn't just one demon. It was many, many, many, many, many demons. Think about that. That one condition that's trying to plague and torment your body, that's not many demons. So how easy is it for Jesus, how simple is it for Jesus, how uncomplicated is it for Jesus if the man will talk to the demons and as they beg him, don't send us out into the abyss. But it said, while they're trying to talk to him, he's talking to him. He's commanding those devils, talking. I like this talking over them. And that's a big key for us in things being made new. That when the old tries to talk to you, don't let it get a word in. You speak over that, you talk over that, you talk the word. See, God makes all things new. You have to see the word to be able to talk and answer that which is going to rebuttal the will and the plan of God. Amen. So part of. For our lives, part of God being able to restore and make things new for us and our bodies and our finances and in our homes, we've got to take and do Something what the word of God says and renew our minds. We've been made new in here already, but this has not been made new. So part of that, allowing God to make all things new in our lives, we've got to do our part, and that is to renew our minds. I love that this man immediately was found at the feet of Jesus, renewing his. His mind. Amen. There were so many answers. They were marveling at him being at his right mind. But I marveled that he knew immediately where to go. I must get under the Word. I must get under my answer. I must get help. I must stay with the one who saved me, delivered me, set me free. He didn't go out and try to show off his condition. He was found immediately. Not that he shouldn't have testified, but you know what I'm saying. Oh, my gosh. I've got so many things I got to catch up on. I need to go get this thing going again. I need to go get my business going. I've got to go get a job. I got. He just came and found himself right back in the Word. Why? Because even though he was set free, what does the scripture talk about? That when they leave, when that demon leaves, they'll come back to find if there's. It's been cleaned and swept and now there's even more room. He did the right thing. When hands. We could say this. When hands are laid on us, when the power God is ministered to us tonight, it's going to matter where you find yourself in the days and the months following as to whether or not what you received is going to be able to come and be taken away again. You got to find yourself full. It's not just when you're delivered from a demon. It's when you're delivered from anything. He's got to come back and find you so full of the word that if he tries to put something back on your body, you do like this, like Jesus did with this man. You start immediately talking over that symptom. Immediately talking over that. Immediately talking over that threat. Oh, no, you don't. I don't care what the economy says. That is not what. What my future holds. Amen. Stock market is not my God. It is not my Lord, and it's certainly not my Savior. No man, woman, anybody that's over this. The. This nation is not my savior. They did not pay the ultimate price for me to be free from poverty, sickness, and spiritual death. My God paid that price. Amen. So you have to answer over with the Word of God. He was getting prepared to answer a counter attack. That's what I believe. He had enough sense to go. I'm not going back to that again. So I better not leave the place that brought me out of that. Amen. It really does matter what we do after we receive. Amen. Now if you'll stay there in Luke and. Turn with me. Let's see here. You say, well, my. My situation isn't that serious and Jesus. Jesus isn't here, you know, to touch me. People say, I've never felt Jesus touch me before. We were saying, I know he touched me. If you were saved, he touched your heart. And he didn't just touch it, he came to live inside. And so if all you can do is go back to when you received him, because that's when everything began in your life. Oftentimes people are doing what my husband says, they've got to feel something new. He makes all things new without you feeling anything. He makes all things new without you having. Listen, I don't remember when I got saved. I was so young. Like Stephen said, we were just born into this. Now I do know times when the spirit of God, we were in a service and he. And he ministered to me, touched me, called me, showed me things of my future. We had services in our church, Holy Ghost services, where the power of God would move in such a strong way. And I remember vividly those times in the presence of God here in my local church and those times. But there were times when I needed answers and I didn't feel anything. I didn't feel a single thing. It was just a decision I made to. To. To grab ahold of the truth of the word of God and not let go of it, believing that he was going to change that situation, turn it around, make it new, help my thinking, restore right thinking to me through his Word. And I didn't feel a thing. Amen. So we can't look for and say, well, I think he did it this time. I think he worked the miracle this time. Why? Because you felt something. You have faith believes he's touching. That power is touching me no matter what I feel. Here in Luke 17, Luke 17. So there we see an example of he made a man's mind new. Now we're going to see how he made physical bodies new. And if you had, you were ministered to the other morning and you had a child or grandchild, many of you came up, you got prayer clause. Yes, this man's deliverance was instantaneous, but he still had the Process. That's why he came to Jesus feet. He still had the process of keeping himself and keeping his life. Everyone had seen him. Can you imagine? Everyone had seen that man unclothed, right? Seen him completely unclothed for all those years. And you know, the enemy was going to try to replace, play that over and over, torment him with how everyone saw him. But see, God makes all things new, even in our mind, even listen, even in what we remember about ourselves. Amen. Even in what we know that other people don't know. You have to put the blood of Jesus on. On that. You have to put the Word on that. He makes that new even in my mind, when no one else knows. He's made that new in my mind, in my life, that is new for me. I. My mind is renewed and strengthened. The word of God is going to be engrafted into my mind and into my spirit, into my soul, into my every, every fiber of my being. The word of God is going to be engrafted in me and bear new fruit. Now this man was going to have new fruit. He had tormenting fruit. He had. He was a plague to society. But see, he was going to have to sit under the Word, to take the Word, to renew and wash his mind and his own memory of himself running around unclothed and unclean. Amen. But these right here, these 10 lepers, they were completely separated from sin society, and this was by the highest order, didn't have an option. They couldn't come even if they wanted to. Said in verse 11, it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem and that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him 10 men that were lepers which stood afar off. And they lifted up their voice, their voices and said, jesus, master, have mercy on us. Verse 14 in the Amplified classic says, and when he saw them, he said to them, go at once and show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cured and made clean on their way. They're made clean, meaning that leprosy had left their body. That disease, that bacteria that was eating away at their skin, skin was gone. And as an act of faith, this is what my husband was talking about yesterday. As an act of faith, they had to imagine themselves because, you know, their mind was saying, do you feel like you're clean? Do you feel like you fit with everybody? How are you going to integrate back into society? What if you get to the priest and it hasn't worked yet? They had to have faith from the moment Jesus spoke to the time they stood in front of the priest, that what Jesus said was the truth and no lie. You're gonna have to believe from the time hands are laid on you till the time, maybe it's an instant, maybe it isn't. You have to believe that when hands are laid on me, the power of God went into my body, the anointing went into my body. And I'm going to, to walk away out of here knowing that I have been made whole. Because that's exactly what these 10 had to do. They had to trust that what the master said. I'm sure they would have known and have possibly heard about when he told Naaman go dip, right? Well, couldn't. He told us to go dip somewhere because he's sending us straight to the, the firing squad. If we're not clean, we're. We're in big trouble. Because the priests, they, they were not allowed to come among society. They could not present themselves clean. If they weren't clean, they couldn't show up just, you know, this wasn't. They didn't have any kind of permission to operate as anyone else, much less. I don't know how many people were showing up to the temple every day on their own, you know, just, just walking in, showing themselves. The priest. They had to believe that what Jesus. Listen, what Jesus said. Say what he said. Say what he said. You have to believe that when Pastor Nancy lays hands on you and she says, be whole in Jesus name, you have to believe that what she says is the truth, no lie. And now my body is made whole. Now I'm healed. Now I'm healed. Not the pain, not the symptoms. They don't testify to me what Pastor Nancy said, which is what Jesus said, now you're made clean. I believe now my body is whole. Amen. They had to have faith in what he said. They didn't get a physical touch from Jesus. They didn't have somebody to connect and make a point of contact. Where they go now my faith is released. They had a long walk to the priests, right where the enemy could talk them out. Don't get discouraged. In the walk of faith regarding healing for your body, that's what it's called, the walk of faith. I'm going to walk like these. That when I heard that pain is gone. When I heard I'm whole in Jesus name, my body is healed in Jesus name and that anointing went in my body, whether I felt anything or not, that's it, I'm walking out by faith. I'M completely whole. I'm completely whole. God, I present to you every day. I'm completely whole. Present yourself to him every day. I'm completely whole. I don't care. Present yourself to your family. The pain is gone. Everything has been made new in my body. I just want everyone in my household to know. Everything has been made new in my body. Pastor Nancy laid hands on me. Therefore Jesus has touched me and I am made whole. The anointing went into my body. The power, the resurrection power is working in my body. That's what they had to do, is walk out that walk of faith, unsure what was going to happen when they get there. They had to believe words. Amen. But then there was one. And this is what Pastor Nancy was actually talking about the other night in fellowship through Thanksgiving. Look at what he did. So this, this kind of ties all of this up, what she was sharing with us, it said. Then one of them, seeing upon seeing that he was cured, turned back, recognizing and thanking and praising God with a loud voice. He fell prostrate at Jesus fellow feet, thanking him over and over. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, were not all ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was there no, no one found to return and to recognize and give thanks and praise to God except this alien. He said to him, get up and go your way. Your faith, your trust and confidence that spring from your belief in God has restored you to help. The King James says has hath made the whole. One of the things Pastor Nitze has taught us, when Jesus spoke to them to go show that they had been made clean, immediately that process had stopped, of leprosy eating that, that they believed. They had to believe that that bacteria was gone from their body. All that was dried up but this one. And then we'll, we'll close with this. This is what he did. He returned fellowship. You see that he returned for fellowship with Jesus. He wasn't happy with just a good message and a good laying on of hands. He returned back to the healer for fellowship. Not just a quick handshake and a thank you. He returned back. It said he thanked him over and over and over and over. He fell prostrate. He didn't want to leave the feet of Jesus. He said, I have got to find myself back in your presence again. He found himself coming back to fellowship with thanksgiving with the Master. And look what happened. It didn't just stop the process for him, it restored back complete wholeness to his body. That means if a finger was missing, if there was a Sore on his arm, something eaten off of his face. It said, now you're made whole. Not only was the process stopped, but everything. What did he say? Behold, I make all things new through fellowship. So, two things if you're writing things down. Number one, we see that the man, the Gadarenes, came and renewed his mind. So number one, in making all things new in your life, renew your mind every day. That's why it's not saying our mind was made new. It gets renewed every day. Every day. This is what John G. Lake said. There's a process of making in unity the spirit, soul and body. The spirit was born again. The Spirit was made new. But it is our responsibility to make the mind and the body new again. God does the work, but it's our responsibility to renew our minds and stay in his plan. And he talks about that in his book, to make them in unity. The triune man, that everything, not just the Spirit, agrees with God, but the mind and a body agree with God. You can make your mind and your body agree with God. Did you know that? You can tell your body to agree with God's word. I'm healed. In the name of Jesus, I'm whole. That that organ is restored back, made new. Amen. Not just patched up. See, with this man, it wasn't just that that leprosy was just erased. Everything was made clean. Made clean. Was made clean. What do you need in your body to be made clean? You're clean with God, but what can that cleanness on the inside of you, what can that newness on the inside of you do in your life today? Make clean. Amen. But secondly, we see what this one did. He came back and was made completely whole through fellowship. So these two things, we renew our mind and we spend time in fellowship. You say it can't be that simple. Oh, yes, it is. There's nothing. I have nothing deep and revelatory to give you other than I see these two examples. One got right in to renew his mind, to keep everything out that Jesus had already cast out. And then the other one comes back and everything's restored back to him, made brand new because he just wanted to fellowship with the Master. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Can wholeness be as simple as thank you? Well, I see it is. Or else God would have never put it in the. He would have never. The spirit of God would have never inspired Luke to put in there the continual thanksgiving of this man if it wasn't an answer for us. Thank you. Thank you for making My child brand new. I thank you for making their mind brand new. I thank you for making my body brand new. That organ is brand new. You make all things behold. You make all things new. I see it now. I see it. I see it that you make minds new. You make bodies new. I see it brand new. I see it, Father. I thank you. I thank you. I thank you. I thank you. I thank you. Oh, I thank you that you restore. If you'll restore a mind, you'll restore a home. If you'll take a man unclothed and unclean and bring him back into society, you'll bring my marriage back together. You'll bring my home back together. You'll bring my finances back together. I thank you. I thank you. I thank you. I thank you. Amen. You don't even got to think up anything creative. Amen. I don't need creative. I just need Thanksgiving. The simple act of Thanksgiving. And the word is full of examples. But I'm not gonna. For time's sake, we won't go through all them. But you can see just in these two, two very clear answers. Renew our mind and keep coming back. When hands are laid on me. Just keep coming back with Thanksgiving. Get back into his presence. You know, the same presence that's been in here all week is that presence that will go out with you. This isn't the presence of God on defrain Ministries. This is the presence of God. Right? The same God that lives in us walks out with us. We have to get in the presence of God. I mean, I enjoy getting in these meetings and being in the presence of God, too. When. When Ms. Reba gets up in that anointing, that weighty anointing, and David plays and that anointing comes in and Graham begins to sing, and we just go, oh, my gosh. And it's on. All of that belongs to. To us on a daily basis. Sure, there's the corporate anointing. I understand that. But the presence and the goodness and the flow of God and the flow of health and wholeness and healing is ours every day. Amen. What we're doing here is simply engaging our spirits. We're making a conscious effort. Listen, a set aside, dedicated effort right now to draw from our spirit. That's all we're all doing. So what if we did that at home? A set aside time. Dedicated effort to draw out of our spirit and say thank you. Thank you. Oh, Father, I thank you. Even my emotions are made new. Oh, even my. My mind, my. All those things that felt like they Were robbed from me, from my. From my past. They're made brand new. It's all. All new. My future is bright. It's new. It's new in you. I thank you. I thank you.

So when we leave, See, Jesus was eventually going to leave town from that man of the gatherings, and he eventually. He was walking and journeying and on his way and was going to eventually leave those 10 lepers. Amen. But that leper and that man of the gathering said, yeah, but we're not leaving you. So it's not about us being in town. It's about you not leaving out of the presence of God. Amen. He makes say. He makes all things new. He makes all things new. See, I make all things new. New.

We have a gentleman in our church. He's actually a bishop out of the Congo that now resides here in Kissimmee. A lot of reasons why, but as we begin to know him more over the years, he began to share his testimony that actually he had down syndrome when he was a child. And so until Osborne came into town in the Congo, he got born again and began to read T.L. osborne's book, Healing the Sick, that classic book. And he read it so much, he memorized it. He memorized the whole book. And through his memorization and meditation, and if I got it right, honey, the Lord restored him, and he was healed of down syndrome. He actually, I think, has the pictures of it, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure. His face change. Yeah. And. And Come normal. So he. Completely normal. So he actually is a bishop. Over hundreds of churches in the Congo.
