Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. A Move of Healing Power

(00:09 – 15:11)

• Words of knowledge for healing: Nancy and the team call out physical conditions such as neck and back pain, jaw issues, ongoing headaches, lumps in breasts, spinal misalignment, and more.
• Instructions to the congregation:
  • Be receptive and cooperate with the healing power present.
  • Act on faith—“Move it around. Do something you couldn't do before” [01:22].
  • Healing is not limited to those physically present, but “for anyone who will receive it” (livestream included) [03:16].
• Explanation of receiving by faith: The emphasis is on releasing faith verbally and physically, taking ownership of healing by speaking and acting (“I take it. It’s working. It’s moving for me” [00:59]).
• Power is everywhere: “The power of God is present everywhere whether you feel it or not. Why is the power present everywhere? Because the Holy Ghost is present everywhere” [03:52].
• Miracles require response: “Power is waiting for your response... Power moves towards those who will respond to it” [08:06].

Notable Quotes and Moments

• On acting in faith:
  “We're not checking to see if it worked. We're giving action to that anointing. Amen. When we believe, we receive it. We believe it's doing a work. Therefore, we can do what we could not do before.” [01:24]
• On the universality of healing power:
  "It's not limited to a time, a service, or a calendar. Amen. The power of God is present everywhere." [03:47]
• On miracles:
  “Every day, miracles are coming to you or going past you. Don't let anything go past you that you need for yourself... You say, I take it.” [06:02]
• On God’s ability:
  “You say, well, a certain body part has been destroyed or removed. God's got more. God's got more body part. He knows how to put new ones in. Amen. Amen. Don't talk yourself out of receiving what you need just because it's hard for man.” [11:29]
• Testimonies: Congregants are invited to raise their hands if they experience change. Others are instructed to look around at the hands for encouragement. [13:17–13:37]
• Encouragement to continue in thanksgiving:
  “Just keep worshiping him, thanking him that that power is working as you do. Every bit of that will be washed out... The more you pour in that healing power, the more it flushes out the symptoms, the pain, the disease, the sickness.” [14:31]

2. The Seven Companions (Supports) of Faith

(15:16 – 26:52)

• Importance of Faith:

  • Faith is presented as essential for every aspect of Christian life: “Faith is the currency of heaven, and that's how we conduct business with heaven.” [15:16]
  • Faith alone requires supports; otherwise, it is compromised.

• Scripture Foundation:

  • Focus on 2 Peter 1:5–10—"Giving all diligence, add to your faith..." [16:51]
  • There are seven qualities listed (“the seven companions of faith” or "support beams" for the bridge of faith).
  • Without these supports, faith is unstable.

• Faith as a Pipeline or Bridge:

  • “Faith is simply a pipeline. The power of God reaches your need through this pipeline of faith... Faith is a bridge... Even so, the spirit realm connected to the natural realm. Your faith bridge is what does that.” [16:58]
  • If supports are missing, the bridge is compromised.

• First Companion: Virtue (Moral Excellence):

  • Moral excellence is the first support to be added to faith; without moral excellence, faith is hindered.
  • Importance of morality:
    “God is a moral God. Morality matters. I said morality matters. I know society makes light of moral issues. Society...blurs the lines of what's moral and immoral. Because they don't want anyone to feel bad. God didn't want you to feel bad either. That's why he says, live moral.” [18:35]
  • Benefits of righteousness:
    • Jesus loved righteousness and hated iniquity—this is linked to having the anointing and joy [20:30].
    • “If you love clean living and you love being clean, joy will be the flow of your life. But if you hang out and participate with things that are not clean, you're going to be depressed, oppressed. And the devil's got a right to attack you because you're on his territory.” [22:41]

• Separation from Sin:

  • Consecration and self-separation from sin are emphasized. “Consecration means to separate ourselves. God's not going to separate you. He tells us to separate ourselves.” [24:10]
  • Moral excellence must exceed common standards; legality does not equal morality.

• Motivation for Morality:

  • “He’s letting us know that we have to separate ourselves. Not because he's trying to punish and make life hard. He's trying to keep us. He's trying to keep us away from things that harm our lives and destroy our lives and make life difficult and trouble our lives.” [25:00]
  • “We don't hate people, but we hate that which is wrong. Amen. Why? Because that which is wrong harms people.” [26:11]

Summary Takeaways

• The healing ministry emphasized is participatory—faith is not passive but requires physical and verbal action.
• Miracles are available to all, without limit of time, space, or individual specificity; God’s power is ever-present, but faith is the "magnet" that draws it in.
• Faith is essential but insufficient on its own; it must be supported by seven qualities (virtue/moral excellence being the first).
• Moral excellence, or living by God’s higher standard of righteousness, is non-negotiable for strong, active faith.
• Righteous living is not about earning God’s favor but staying under his protection and blessing, and out of the enemy’s territory.
• The episode closes in a practical/encouraging tone, urging listeners to consecrate themselves and live morally for a joyful, victorious life.

This episode provides both an atmosphere of immediacy (through the healing ministry) and solid biblical teaching (on building and supporting faith), imparting hope, practical steps, and scriptural foundations for wholeness and victory.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

And those of you who may be watching by livestream know this. It's not just for people in the building. It's for anyone who will receive it. Because the power of God's present right where you're at. There is a reason that God does not have me to call out the names of people who are being healed. Doesn't God know the names of people who need it? Sure he does, but he doesn't limit that power to. By calling it out to specific individuals. That's why he says, anybody with anybody with this condition, Anybody with this condition, you can raise your hand, release your faith. Accept that power. Amen. If I just say that it's for john or if it's for paul or if it's for Henry, then no one else can have claim to it. That puts limits on it. But that's why God says anybody. That means it doesn't matter when this broadcast is aired. It doesn't matter when, because it's not limited to a time, a service, or a calendar. Amen. The power of God is present everywhere. I said the power of God is present everywhere whether you feel it or not. Why is the power present everywhere? Because the holy ghost is present everywhere. And so right where you're at, you can receive it. No matter where you're watching this at, you can receive it. Just say I receive it. Because the power is not limited to a service. The power of God is not limited to a certain time of the week. Amen. For whenever faith is released, that power will work.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

Somebody else with that jaw situation. You did not. You did not release your faith. Go ahead, release your faith. Say, I'll take that for me. I'll take that for me.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Assistant/Praise Leader]

Praise the lord. Praise the lord. Praise the lord.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

Somebody. Your spine has been misaligned. Going up that spine. There's been a. It's been out of alignment. That spine is being healed right now. That spine is being put back into alignment right now. Just receive it. And there's been some damage. It seems like with the nerves on it, the muscles that are next to it. There's been some issues there, but it's also done some nerve damage. Every bit of that's being healed right now. All you have to do is say, I take it. I receive it. That power's working in me. And then move around. Do what you couldn't do, not to check to see if it worked, but to give action to that anointing. How many of you know faith is an act? Faith will act on it.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

So I don't care where you're at. Don't be concerned about how you look to somebody else. Move around, do something with it that you might not could have done easily before.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

Don't let that power pass you by. Remember what brother Richard Roberts, in quoting his dad, Oral Roberts made this statement. Every day, miracles are coming to you are going past you. Don't let anything go past you that you need for yourself. Amen. How do you keep it from going past you with you, with your words? You say, I take it. I take it. The power of God is moving right now. I take it. The power of God is present everywhere, but it's not always in manifestation everywhere. Well, this morning, it's in manifestation. You can receive it. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

Morgan, this comes to me. Take it for nanny cake. For there's something. It seems like there's something there with her for that.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Assistant/Praise Leader]

Praise the lord. Praise the lord. Praise the lord.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

Aren't you thankful for the healing power of God?

[Assistant/Praise Leader]

Praise the Lord.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

I see that power going right up, just right up someone's spine, and it's traveling on up to the neck, on up to the head. So it seems like there's been somebody that it has not just stayed just in the back with back issues. It has gone all the way up from the back, all the way up the neck, over the head. That could be somebody here in the building. It could be somebody that's watching by livestream. It could be somebody who's watching on something else. But just know this power's working. Receive it. Power's working. Receive it. Move it around. Do something that your body said you Couldn't do. And when you do that, it'll move right into place. It'll move right into place.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

Power is waiting for your response. I said power is waiting for your response. Power is waiting for the response of faith. That's why I tell you to act, because power moves towards those who will respond to it.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

Those who sit back and say, well, I'll just wait and see if anything happens. Nothing will happen because it takes faith to receive the power. Amen. The power won't work without faith. It has to. If I could say this faith is the magnet that draws power to it. Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I want you to.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

People will say, well, I can still feel a little bit of pain or a little bit of symptoms. Just keep worshiping him, thanking him that that power is working as you do. Every bit of that will be washed out. Every bit of the symptoms, every bit of the pain. The more you pour in that healing power, the more it flushes out the symptoms, the pain, the disease, the sickness. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

Our job is not to get rid of it. Our job is to believe. We receive it. We receive that healing power. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Assistant/Praise Leader]

Praise the Lord.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

Isn't he wonderful? Hallelujah.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

Jesus, we thank you. We thank you. You can be seated, if you would.

[Assistant/Praise Leader]

Praise the Lord.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

We were talking about that. Faith is one of the most important subjects in the Word. Why is that? Because you can't be saved without it. You can't be healed without it. You can't pray without it. You can't receive answers to prayer without it. Faith is the currency of heaven, and that's how we conduct business with heaven. And if we lose our faith, we can't conduct business anymore with heaven. So our faith is so important. But there are things connected to faith, and sometimes people misunderstand. They think, well, all you talk about is faith. If you're going to talk about faith, you must address every arena of life, because every single arena of life is connected to your faith. And so it's certainly not a singular flow to talk about faith. It encompasses every single arena. And so we want to look at something that Peter spells out in Second Peter, chapter one and verse five, he's writing. And I want to. I'm not going to read the whole passage here, but verse five, giving all diligence, add to your faith. Notice this faith has to have something added to it for it to function as it ought. Amen. If there are things that are missing that this list gives us in Second Peter, then it's going to hinder or affect our faith. So we were talking about that, if we could say this, that faith is simply a pipeline. The power of God reaches your need through this pipeline of faith. It's not faith that heals you. It's not faith that meets your needs. It's faith that believes that the power of God, the grace of God, the healing Power, the prosperity power of God. Faith is simply a pipeline through which that power flows through. So when you have a need, you have to have the pipeline of faith in place so that the power of God can have something to access your need. Or we could say it this, that faith is a bridge. It simply gives access. Faith simply gives God access. As a bridge will give access for one piece of land to be connected to another piece, you have a bridge. Even so, the spirit realm connected to the natural realm. Your faith bridge is what does that. The power of God is one place. Your need is another place. The faith is a bridge that gives us access for the power of God to reach your need. So we could just say this, that faith is simply a bridge that the power of God moves through, moves over to meet your need. If that bridge is removed, if that bridge is damaged, it will hinder the power that can reach you. God doesn't withhold power. But whether or not faith is in place will determine what kind of power flows, how much power flows, if, if it's limited or if it's hindered. You can have a bridge, but every bridge has to have support beams. And if a support beam is missing on a bridge, you don't want to be on it, right? Because it's compromised. You don't know whether it can support what's going across it. Well, even so, we don't want our faith compromised. And so here, second Peter, chapter one, Peter gives us a list by the Holy Ghost and says, giving all diligence, add to your faith. So we could say this, that what we're going to add to our faith. He lists seven things that have to be added to our faith. And we call them, I call them the supports for the bridge of faith. That just this bridge of faith has to be in place, but there has to be something under it, supporting it. And if any of these supports are out of place, the bridge of faith is compromised. That it will not be able to. To conduct across it what it should be able to conduct. And so it says here in Peter, second Peter, chapter one, verse five, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue. And to virtue, knowledge. And to knowledge, temperance. And to temperance, reverence, patience. And to patience, godliness. And to godliness, brotherly kindness. And to brotherly kindness, love. Or the divine kind of love. And then verse 8 said that these things will enable you to bear fruit. And then verse 10 of this says this. It says that if you do these things, if all these seven things are in place supporting your faith, that it Says you'll never fall. A bridge that is fully supported by healthy supports, strong supports, stabilized and fortified supports. That bridge will never fall. Right? Well, he says the same thing about your faith. How to keep it always firm and in place so that it will be able to conduct across it the power of God. So we looked at the first thing that's listed here that we. We see this word, add to your faith virtue. And that is the word that the Holy Ghost bumps right up next to faith. Out of this entire list, he bumped this word virtue. And in some places of the word, the virtue means power. But in this location, in this passage, it means moral excellence. So he said, add to your faith moral excellence. Because faith, faith won't take the place for lack of moral morality. God is a moral God. Morality matters. I said morality matters. I know society makes light of moral issues. Society, if we could say this, blurs the lines of what's moral and immoral. Because they don't want anyone to feel bad. God didn't want you to feel bad either. That's why he says, live moral. Amen. He wants you to live the best life. God is not the one that is there ready to punish you if you do something wrong. He just knows in the flow of morality is where blessing is. And he knows in the flow of immorality is where the devil has access to people. And so he said, you have to stay in the moral flow if you want to leave the good life. It says in Hebrews chapter one and verse nine. And we looked at it previous service, but I want to repeat it. It says, jesus was anointed with the oil of gladness above his brethren. Why? Because he loved righteousness. He loved what was right. He loved what was clean. He loved what was pure. The way to have a strong faith is love what's right. Love what's clean, love what's what's pure. And then it said, and he hated iniquity. The way to free your to be free and walk free and never go around iniquity is hate it. Don't enjoy what's not clean. Don't enjoy what's not pure. Don't enjoy what's not right. Don't enjoy what wouldn't please God. Amen. If you want to be free from a habit, decide to hate it. When you do, the power of God will back you up. I said, when you do, the power of God will back you up. Instead of saying, I want that, say, I refuse that. I hate that in my life. I will not have it because it's not clean. And how many of you know Jesus loved righteousness? You're made righteous. Amen. Now we are to live in line with what we have been made to be. We are to live a life of righteousness because. Because we have been made righteous. Amen. And so we have to make sure that we. If we want to have a life of peace, we want to have a mind of peace, we have to stay with that which is clean. If you love clean living and you love being clean, joy will be the flow of your life. But if you hang out and participate with things that are not clean, you're going to be depressed, oppressed. And the devil's got a right to attack you because you're on his territory. His territory is not clean. Amen. That means we live pure. We think pure will impure thoughts come. Sure they will. But you refuse them. You say, no, you don't. No, you don't. That's not righteous. And I'm not going to protect in it. You have to answer things that you will not agree with in your life. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Main Speaker/Preacher]

God talks to us about morality in His Word. The reason being is because Christians who play with sin will be mentally harassed. Amen. The Word tells us to separate ourselves, consecrate ourselves. Amen. Consecration means to separate ourselves. God's not going to separate you. He tells us to separate ourselves. Amen. And people are waiting for God to separate or remove things from them. And he's waiting for them to turn their back on it. Amen. That we separate ourselves from that which is not right, that which is not clean. Why? Because God is telling us how to live the best life. Well, this is legal. Well, just because something is legal doesn't mean it's moral. And if you want to live a blessed life, if you want to live a peaceful life, we're going to have to go by God's standard of morality and not mere man's standard of morality. Amen. This word, moral excellence, we see this word and this excellence excel. That means that our morality is to excel. Calm morality. There are a lot of people who think they're clean because. Or they're living the best life because, well, this is legal. To do well, it might be legal, but is it excellent? It has to excel. Common man's morality. Amen. And people think if we can just get it on the law books, that it's acceptable. But see, we're not living by man's law books only. We're living by God's law law book. Amen. And he's letting us know that we have to separate ourselves. Not because he's trying to punish and make life hard. He's trying to keep us. He's trying to keep us away from things that harm our lives and destroy our lives and make life difficult and trouble our lives. The devil would love for you to be okay with, not with what isn't clean, because then he can trouble you you through that. Amen. And Jesus loved righteousness. He hated iniquity. Amen. So that lets us know our stance. That's our. That's our approach. We don't hate people, but we hate that which is wrong. Amen. Why? Why do we hate which is wrong? Because that is that which is wrong harms people. It troubles and harasses people's lives. And we want them to live the best life. We want them to live a life free from torment. Amen. So living a life of righteousness will cause us to live the best life.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.
