Dufresne Ministries Podcast

Host: Nancy Dufresne

Episode Overview

In this foundational episode, Pastor Nancy Dufresne teaches on the theme that healing, prosperity, and victory are not distant blessings to be earned or acquired—they are the believer's present possession through Christ. Departing from the mindset of striving and “trying to get,” she urges listeners to embrace their new identity in Christ, where every redemptive benefit—including health—is already secured. With scripture, practical analogies, and memorable stories, Pastor Nancy challenges her audience to renew their thinking, step away from fact-based living, and lay hold of scriptural truth.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Scriptural Foundation: Healing Already Secured

• [00:33] Pastor Nancy opens by teaching from 1 Peter 2:24, highlighting the comprehensive redemption provided by Christ's suffering:
  • Jesus bore our sins and made us righteous.
  • The phrase “by whose stripes ye were healed” means healing was purchased at the same time as forgiveness—before we were even born.
• It's not enough to be a passive recipient; living righteously aligns us with the flow of healing.

  “We cannot persist in living a life of sin and think health is going to be our flow.” – Nancy Dufresne [01:41]

2. The Timelessness of Redemption

• [02:42] The significance that God addressed our needs—spiritual, physical, material—before we ever had them.
• The Bible serves as God’s record and testimony of events we didn’t witness, but which are fully real and available for us now.
• God is always in front of every need, not behind.

  “No matter what need shows up, we know that God already addressed it. Now it’s just waiting for us to believe His testimony.” – Nancy Dufresne [04:37]

3. Redemption Package: Inheritance Activated by Faith

• [05:47] Teaching from Ephesians 1:3 (“who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ”), Nancy highlights the fullness of ‘the redemption package’:
  • Healing, prosperity, joy, victory—all are part of what believers are born into at the new birth.
  • Prayer and Bible study are for discovering what we possess, not for earning God’s blessings.

  “We only study the Bible to learn what we have been born into. It doesn’t cause us to be born into it...” – Nancy Dufresne [07:52]

4. Identity Analogy: Born Into Wholeness

• [09:03] Memorable analogy: Just as you are born a female or male, you do not have to try to earn that identity, but you do learn to live it out in practice.
  • Likewise, the born-again believer is born into prosperity and health.

  “I was born rich, I was born prosperous, I was born into health and wholeness. I was born into it.” – Nancy Dufresne [09:36]

5. Jewish Mindset on Inheritance

• [09:45] Nancy recounts a powerful testimony:
  • A minister asked a wealthy Jewish man how he became prosperous; the man replied, “I’m a Jew,” unable to separate his identity from prosperity.
  • The church should view health and prosperity as inseparable elements of their born-again status.

  “You can’t ask me, ‘How did I get to be a female?’... It’s the same thing. We were born into health. We were born into victory at the new birth.” – Nancy Dufresne [11:37]

6. The Enemy’s Deception: Striving for What’s Already Yours

• [12:31] Many Christians mistakenly strive for healing and prosperity, not realizing these are already part of their spiritual DNA.
  • The enemy’s strategy is to keep believers in a mentality of lack and striving.

  “They’re trying to be something that He’s already made them to be. And because they think wrong, they talk wrong, they believe wrong, and their faith doesn’t work right.” – Nancy Dufresne [12:50]

7. Facts vs. Truth: Living by Truth, Not by Symptoms

• [13:39] Nancy distinguishes between facts (which change) and truth (which never changes).
  • Pain may be a fact, but truth is that you are healed. Speak truth to facts and facts will yield.

  “Facts change. Truth is something that never changes... Whichever one you hold to is the one that’s going to dominate you.” – Nancy Dufresne [15:47]

8. Activating Reality through Confession and Mind Renewal

• [17:40] It's not confession or prayer that makes you healed—it activates what is already yours.
  • Check your redemption by your position in Christ, not by your physical condition.
  • Mind renewal is essential: move from striving (“I’m trying to get healed”) to identity (“I am the healed”).

9. Testimony: Kenneth E. Hagin’s Stand of Faith

• [21:30] Recounts Kenneth Hagin’s experience resisting heart symptoms:
  • The devil taunted, “This time you’re not going to get your healing!”
  • Hagin replied, “Too late. I’ve already got my healing.”
  • Healing was secured at the cross, not at the moment of feeling better.

  “If the devil can always get you in the mentality, I’m trying to get it... it shows ignorance, and we’re destroyed by our ignorance.” – Nancy Dufresne [23:22]

10. Practical Insight: Prosperity and Generosity

• [24:45] Financial lack doesn’t change who you are (prosperous); it’s mindset, not material circumstances, that limits believers.
  • A reluctance to bless oneself reveals a lack of understanding of prosperity as identity.

11. Carnality: Basing Belief on Feelings

• [25:48] Some don’t “feel” healed and reason from their bodies instead of their redemption—this is carnality (being body-ruled).
  • Divine healing flows from your redemption, not the body.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “When you go to receive healing from God, it’s going to address every arena of your life to make sure we’re living a life of righteousness right now.”
  – Nancy Dufresne [01:33]
• “God’s in front of every need of your life... that’s why there’s no worry.”
  – Nancy Dufresne [04:40]
• “I was born rich, I was born prosperous, I was born into health and wholeness.”
  – Nancy Dufresne [09:36]
• Jewish testimony: “Tell me how you prospered.” “I’m a Jew.” (on identity and inheritance)
  – [11:37]
• “You are not the sick trying to get healed. You are the healed.”
  – Nancy Dufresne [19:29]
• Kenneth Hagin’s testimony: “Too late. I’ve already got my healing. I’m not trying to get my healing, I’ve already got my healing.”
  – [22:19]
• “If you check your body to see if you’re healed, you’ll never experience the divine healing that belongs to you. Because healing... flows from your redemption.”
  – Nancy Dufresne [26:00]
