• Attention should shift from circumstances ("what's in the room") to Jesus and the Holy Spirit ("who's in the room").

• Pat Harrison challenges believers to not just call themselves believers but be “believing believers”—active in faith and exercising spiritual authority.

3. Learning the Flow of the Spirit (07:18–13:24)

• Nancy shares that spiritual things are best learned not only through books but by being present where spiritual things are demonstrated; observing more seasoned ministers in action helps others recognize the Spirit’s flow in themselves.

4. Testimonies of God’s Presence (13:24–23:34)

5. Demonstrations vs. Sermons; The Value of God’s Presence (23:46–25:42)

• Nancy Dufresne notes that sometimes services are not about preaching but are “demonstrated sermons”—allowing for God’s presence to minister powerfully.

  "Some services are a demonstrated sermon, not a taught sermon or a preached sermon. Those we need. But sometimes it’s just a demonstration. Amen." — Nancy Dufresne (24:24)

6. The Testimony of a Calling—Trusting God’s Plan (25:42–31:39)

• Janet Bresee shares her journey of being called to ministry from childhood, emphasizing the importance of knowing you’re called and trusting God without having to know every detail.

  "That knowing kept me… I knew God had a plan. In all my life, I put my trust in Him." — Janet Bresee (26:36)

• Leads into a classic hymn, "’Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus," reinforcing the message of trust.

7. Impartation for Ministers (31:52–46:48)

• Nancy, prompted by the Spirit, initiates a time of impartation to those in full-time ministry (pastors and traveling ministers), referencing Romans 1:11: imparting to establish and nourish mantles.

  "Impartations are needed. They're needed." — Nancy Dufresne (32:15)

• Pat Harrison explains the importance of being receptive during the laying on of hands, emphasizing the need to be open and ready to receive the anointing.

  "As Pastor Nancy and I lay hands on you, there is an anointing that will flow through you. But you have to receive it for it to be effective." — Pat Harrison (34:26)

• Prophetic encouragement ensues, calling for ministers to dwell in God’s presence for new strength, miracles, and a fresh move of God.

  "It’s the presence that you entertain in your life... that’s going to cause you to stand strong." — Pat Harrison (40:28)

• The team prays and prophesies over Billye Brim, affirming that God’s original promises and plans for her are "sound" and unchangeable.

9. Healing Ministry (51:53–End)

• Nancy invites those needing healing who cannot attend later services. She instructs them to agree in faith as they receive prayer and the laying on of hands.

• There is specific ministry for a person with a tumor; authority is demonstrated by speaking directly to the illness and declaring healing.

  "We speak to that cancer. You die in Jesus’ name. You take your hands off his body. And Father, we believe you for restoration." — Nancy Dufresne (57:19)

• The service closes with an encouragement for those healed to act on their faith by moving or doing something they couldn’t do before.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
