Episode Theme: The Connection Between Hearing God's Word and Receiving Healing

Overview

In this episode, Pastor Nancy Dufresne teaches on the vital biblical principle that healing begins with hearing the Word of God. Drawing from personal stories, scripture, and testimonies, Nancy emphasizes that faith for healing is built by consistently listening to God's promises—and that being "full" of these promises is essential to receive what God has already provided.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Stewarding Spiritual Experiences (00:17–03:20)

• Nancy begins by reminding listeners that the experiences and revelations given to spiritual leaders are for the benefit of the whole body of Christ.
• She shares a vision her late husband, Dr. Ed Dufresne, had regarding Jesus’ sacrifice and its connection to healing.

Quote:
"He saw a vision of Jesus hanging on the cross...he began to see words flying through the air...words like cancer, tuberculosis, arthritis. It was the names of sickness and diseases...all the sickness and disease of humanity was laid on Him." — Nancy Dufresne (02:10)

Insight:
Recounting past supernatural experiences is meant to accelerate the congregation’s faith and understanding.

2. The Price Jesus Paid for Healing (03:20–06:45)

• Nancy underscores that Jesus took all sickness and disease upon Himself, and believers must not treat His sacrifice lightly.

• She insists it is inappropriate for Christians to accept living with sickness:
  "He died so you wouldn’t have to live with it." (05:41)

• Healing is God’s will for everyone, though its manifestation (instant or gradual) depends on different factors demonstrated in Scripture.

3. How Healing Comes: The Importance of Hearing (06:45–11:45)

Scriptural Foundation

• Nancy references Luke 5:1 and 5:15, noting that the crowds came to "hear and be healed."
• Romans 10:17 is cited: "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."

Quote:
"Your healing begins in the hearing. You might not instantly have a manifestation, but something happened the moment you heard." — Nancy Dufresne (09:38)

Key Principle

• You cannot receive from God without first hearing His Word; hearing precedes faith, which precedes receiving.
• The more you hear about healing, the more healing you experience: "Little hearing, little healing; much hearing, much healing." (11:37)

4. Misconceptions About Receiving (11:45–15:15)

• Simply coming to a church or prayer line without hearing the Word won’t result in healing; the heart must be ready to receive.
• Hearing wrong doctrines (such as "healing has passed away") can block or "rob" faith.

Quote:
"For healing to pass away, God would have to change His name, because He’s called Jehovah Rapha—the Lord that healeth thee. Since His name isn't changing, what His name reveals has not changed." — Nancy Dufresne (13:19)

5. Your Part and God’s Part (15:15–20:40)

• There is a cooperation: Man’s part is to hear; God’s part is to heal.
• "You can’t get rid of the symptoms. That's God's part. Your job is to hear. And when your hearing is full, then the healing will fully flow." (16:30)

Quote:
"People want to hear just a sentence of healing and get full health. It doesn’t work that way. When you're full with your hearing...your insides fill up with 'this belongs to me.'" — Nancy Dufresne (17:15)

• Being “fully persuaded”—not just partially—is essential for receiving.

6. Testimony: Mom Hagin’s Healing Miracle (20:40–24:50)

• Nancy recounts a powerful healing testimony of "Mom Hagin" (wife of Kenneth E. Hagin), who was diagnosed with an incurable heart condition.
• Despite years of exposure to faith teaching, she didn’t rest; instead, she continually listened to healing scriptures, saturating her environment.
• After a year, she had a supernatural encounter where an angel (as a divine assistant, not healer) gave her a new heart; doctors confirmed the miraculous change.

Quote:
"After one year of hearing and hearing and hearing...God opened her eyes and she saw an angel walk into the room...He put a new heart in her." — Nancy Dufresne (23:17)

Takeaway

• The miracle didn’t happen because she was special, but because she “got full” through faithful hearing.

7. Maintaining Your Healing Position (24:50–27:50)

• Believers are already "the healed," not "the sick trying to get healed."
• Symptoms are attacks trying to steal health; fullness of the Word keeps believers steadfast.
• Your job is to get full—not to make healing happen—by hearing.

Quote:
"If you're not full, you'll be swayed off the Word...be full of the Word, be full of the Holy Ghost, because when the devil shows up, he can't move a full man." — Nancy Dufresne (25:40)

• What you are full of determines your life’s direction:
  "If you're full of doubt, doubt will move you. If you’re full of worry, worry will move you...If you’re full of the healing word, health will be your flow." (26:36)

8. Applying the Principle: Hearing Determines Receiving

• The degree of healing in your life is directly related to the amount you hear the Word on healing.

• Faith acts as a magnet, attracting corresponding realities:
  "If you believe that God is your healer, healing will come." (27:10)

• Nancy closes with a call to declare:
  “Hear and be healed. I hear, therefore I’m healed.” (27:45)

Summary

The episode delivers a compelling message: healing is always the will of God, but it comes as we fill ourselves with the truth of His Word. Listeners are challenged to take personal responsibility not for the outcome, but for their “hearing”—daily, persistent exposure to Scripture, especially on the topic of healing. Being "full" of God’s promises makes faith unwavering and allows the healing Jesus purchased to fully manifest.

Final Declaration:
"Hear and be healed. I hear, therefore I’m healed. That belongs to me." — Nancy Dufresne (27:45)
