Podcast: Dufresne Ministries Podcast
Episode: Campmeeting 2022 | Friday PM | Murrieta, CA
Speaker: Pastor Nancy Dufresne, Dufresne family, and guest ministers
Date: June 20, 2022
Overview
This episode, led by Pastor Nancy Dufresne during a Campmeeting, centers on the foundational, faith-filled message: Jesus not only heals, but He longs to heal. Exploring biblical healing, faith, and practical steps, Nancy encourages attendees to move beyond passive hope and into active expectation, “letting” Jesus bring His healing power into their lives. The evening combines scriptural teaching, faith-building stories, and hands-on ministry, all set within an atmosphere of worship and expectation for miracles.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Scriptural Foundation: “What Do You Want Me To Do For You?”
- Text: Matthew 20:30-34 (Amp. Classic) – The story of two blind men calling out to Jesus.
- Key Insight: Jesus responded to their persistent call, asking, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
- Nancy highlights: "He allows us and invites us to direct His movement in our lives...He places no limits on His doing." (00:39)
- Application: Faith is demonstrated and received through expectation and vocalizing what you believe.
- Quote:
"He wasn’t making them his goal...but that didn’t matter to them. They stopped Him in His divine progress." (01:14)
2. God Serves According to Your Faith
- Parallel Drawn: Just as a server asks for the order at a restaurant, Jesus asks, “What do you want?”
- Religion vs. Relationship:
- Religion says God decides what you get.
- Jesus lets you direct His power by faith: "He’s not the one that decides what we get. And religion will tell you He decides. He doesn’t decide. He says, 'What do you want me to do for you?' The words of a servant." (03:11)
- Practical Step:
- You must ask and then believe for what you’re requesting.
3. How to “Let” God Move: The Story of Dad Hagin
- Kenneth E. Hagin's Visions: Stories from I Believe In Visions illustrate the invitation to faith:
- Intercession for Healing: Hagin’s wife was healed not by pleading but after Jesus appeared and said, "I did this, son, just because you asked me to...You don’t know how I long to do for my children. If they would only ask me and believe me." (10:13)
- How to Let Him Help:
- By taking Him at His Word
- By bringing Him their problems (casting cares, not worrying)
- By trusting Him to undertake for them
- Memorable Story: Nancy’s childhood necklace knotted up—her mother could only help if Nancy didn’t snatch it back. Worry is taking it back into your own hands. (15:26)
4. Conditions for Living in God’s Best
- Jesus’s Words to Dad Hagin (25:54): God’s perfect will is that no child of His gets sick, is operated on, or has accidents, "*but very few live in My best because:
- They don’t know what belongs to them,
- Or, their faith isn’t strong enough to lay hold of it,
- Or, they’re in disobedience.*"
- All Three Issues Can Be Fixed: Grow in knowledge, develop faith, and obey.
5. Healing Is Not a Reward—It’s Covenant Property
- Distinguishing Factor: "Healing is not a reward. It’s a property that belongs to those who belong to Christ." (27:38)
- Avoiding Disappointment: Don’t measure God’s goodness or healing by comparing to others or by counting your “religious activity.”
- Quote:
"Don’t think because you do something for God, He owes you. That mentality, trying to hold God in debt to you...shows lack of understanding." (35:47)
6. Expectancy Releases Power
- Illustration:
- Even those not “spiritually perfect” (e.g., the infrequent church-goer) received healing because they expected it, unlike more religious but less expectant believers.
- Practical Point: When approaching for healing, focus on Christ’s provision, not others’ experiences.
7. Participation in the Miraculous
- Testimonies & Encounters:
- Stories of Ed Dufresne’s early ministry—serving in small ways led to greater anointing.
- Ed’s vision: seeing every form of sickness laid on Jesus during communion (“everything was laid on him”—44:18).
- Quote:
“What do you want Him to do for you? It’s not a reward. It’s a property that belongs to you, because you belong to Him and it belongs to the world.” (46:05)
8. Instructions for Receiving Healing
- Confession:
“When hands are laid on me, the healing power of God will go into my body. It’ll drive out pain and symptoms, sickness and disease, and I shall be whole and receive what belongs to me.” (54:48)
- Maintaining Faith:
- After ministry: “Keep the switch of faith turned on: say ‘It’s working in me. I’m whole.’” (57:24)
9. Healing Ministry
- Call for Specific Conditions:
- Heart conditions, metal rods/screws, bones, eyes, cancer, autoimmune disease, allergies, nerve conditions, creative miracles — all addressed through impartation, both in-person and to remote viewers (53:31–79:38).
- For Those Watching:
“Don’t wait for your condition to be called out or addressed. By faith, you can receive the power of God for whatever need you have. What do you want Him to do for you?” (70:13)
10. Final Encouragements and Audience Response
- Faith Is Now:
“Anybody tell a difference, it’s working in you!” (92:42)
- Direct Engagement:
- Listeners are urged to testify, not to passively wait.
Memorable Quotes & Notable Moments
- “God doesn’t decide where He goes. We decide where He goes. He shows up for faith.” (05:20, Nancy Dufresne)
- “Ask Me and believe Me. Not just ask Me...Many times they beg and cry and pray, but they don’t believe.” (10:51, Jesus to Dad Hagin)
- “Worry is you taking it back into your hands...if you’re thinking about it, that equals worry.” (15:26)
- “Healing is not a reward for serving...for loving Him...for tithing. It’s a property.” (27:38)
- “Don’t take counsel from fear, from worry, from pressure. All that’s from the enemy.” (23:35)
- “We’re not looking for relief, we’re after victory.” (16:53)
