Date: January 28, 2025
Host: Dufresne Ministries
Speaker: Pastor Nancy Dufresne and Worship Leader
Episode Theme: Walking in God’s Best—No Sickness, No Surgeries, No Accidents
Overview
This episode centers on Pastor Nancy Dufresne’s teaching about God’s best for His people: living a life free from sickness, surgeries, and accidents. Nancy underscores that God’s power is present and ready, but requires our cooperation and faith to flow into our lives. Drawing on personal testimonies, visions, and a pivotal teaching from Kenneth E. Hagin’s “I Believe in Visions,” Nancy encourages believers to raise their expectations, cooperate with God's power, practice faith daily, and pursue the highest flow of God’s will.
Key Discussion Points and Insights
The Presence and Power of God
- Faith connects us to Jesus: When Jesus is present, faith must also be present. It’s not just about feeling His presence but directing the power to our specific needs (00:00–02:00).
- Assigning God’s power to needs: Nancy exhorts listeners to speak out their needs and deliberately “assign” the sensed power to those needs—spiritual, mental, physical, material (01:08).
- Quote:
“Assign that power that’s present in the room to your need. Join your faith to that…We take that power for every arena: spiritually, mentally, physically, materially.”
—Nancy Dufresne (02:00)
It’s Not a Power Issue, It’s a Cooperation Issue
- Personal testimony: Nancy shares the story of a woman whose healing was hindered by lack of cooperation with God’s power, despite His presence (03:00–06:00).
- Visual illustration: In a vision, Nancy saw power (as pipes) flowing to a person, but the power was blocked by their own actions—symbolic of how we can hinder God’s power with unbelief or disobedience (06:00).
- Key insight:
“It’s never a lack of power; it’s a lack of cooperation with the power…It’s not about getting Him to do His part—it’s about us doing ours.”
—Nancy Dufresne (07:50)
Power Meets Faith
- Immediate power: The moment faith is released, God’s power starts working—even if results aren’t immediately visible (09:08–10:25).
- Daily faith practice: Speak continually that “power is still flowing”—even before seeing natural results.
Shifting Focus from Need to Power
- Vital shift: After assigning power to needs, direct all attention away from the need and onto the working of the power (12:55).
- Quote:
“Where your attention goes is what's going to get movement…Our faith stands not in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”
—Nancy Dufresne (13:05, 13:40) - Application: Avoid being “need-minded” (worried); become “power-minded.”
Corporate Worship & Healing Flow
- Receiving in worship: Listeners are led in singing, “I receive His power,” reinforcing the act of faith and expectation (10:28–12:10).
- Healing ministry: Nancy calls those in physical pain to the front and ministers healing over specific ailments, commanding pain to leave in Jesus’ name (15:00–24:30), with repeated affirmations that power is working.
Testimonies & Imagery for Victory Over Pain
- Reba's testimony (25:05–27:17): Overcame chronic back pain through a God-given vision of “de-quilling” the spirit of pain using God's Word as jeweled tweezers.
- Quote:
“God said, ‘I’m gonna de-quill that spirit of pain by my word, and you’re gonna cooperate with Me.’ Every night, I would visualize…by the Word of God…” —Reba (25:52)
- Quote:
- Spiritual warfare with the unseen: Nancy warns that evil spirits take pleasure in human suffering, and it’s our job to “rob them of that enjoyment” and refuse to be “the devil's carnival” (27:28).
- Everyday practice: Practice peace, joy, and power daily—not just in times of catastrophe, but to maintain and hold one’s ground (29:00).
The Revelation of God’s Best
-
Never let go of spiritual landmarks: Nancy urges believers not to forget the prophetic words and revelations passed down in the Body, referencing Brother Hagin’s book, “I Believe in Visions” (31:46–35:30).
-
Threefold Will of God:
- Never be sick
- Never be operated on
- Never have an accident
“It’s my will that none of my children ever be sick, be operated on, or have accidents.”
—Jesus speaking to Kenneth E. Hagin, recounted by Nancy (36:45) -
Clarification: Obedience to this word depends on present circumstances; faith is the route, not merely abstaining from medical intervention (39:00).
- Quote:
“It’s not the withholding of medicine that pleases God. It’s the exercise of faith that pleases God.”
—Ed Dufresne (as quoted by Nancy, 46:30)
- Quote:
Why Do Few Walk in God’s Best?
-
Jesus gave Kenneth Hagin three reasons: (43:10–46:00)
- Most don’t know what belongs to them (lack of knowledge).
- Those who do know often don’t have faith strong enough to receive (lack of faith).
- Disobedience (not following God’s plan/order).
-
Key insight: Past experiences, upbringing, and expectations can serve as barriers—renewing the mind and imagination is vital.
- Quote:
“Your expectation will follow your imagination…imagination is important because it’s what your mind and spirit meditate on until the manifestation shows up.”
—Nancy Dufresne (44:10)
- Quote:
-
Order and obedience matter: Even a small error in divine order (like reversing the roles of teacher and prophet) can open the door to problems (57:00).
-
Ongoing hearing and skill: Obedience requires continually seeking God’s order for each new season (59:40).
Notable Quotes
- “It’s my will that none of my children ever be sick, be operated on, or have accidents.”
—Jesus to Kenneth E. Hagin (36:45, referenced throughout) - “Very few ever walk in my best…because: most don’t know what belongs to them; if they do, they don’t have faith enough to receive; and because of disobedience.”
—Nancy Dufresne (paraphrasing Jesus, 43:45) - “You won’t float to the highest flow. You have to on purpose occupy the highest flow—His best.”
—Nancy Dufresne (52:40) - “Faith is simply where your attention goes… Where’s your attention? That’s where your faith is living.”
—Nancy Dufresne (54:40) - “The one who opened the door is the one who has to close it.”
—Nancy Dufresne (66:00)
Practical Application & Call to Expectancy
- Adopt God’s will as daily expectation:
– “Never be sick. Never need operation. Never have an accident.” - Practice faith daily:
– Keep imagining and expecting God's best; take victory in thought life before symptoms or needs arise. - Check for barriers:
– Is your attention more on the need than God’s power? Are you cooperating with the Holy Spirit? Is there lingering disobedience? - Daily declaration:
– “I expect God’s best. I will not accept anything less.” (76:09–77:36; worship song and refrain). - Imagination and faith:
– Use imagination purposely, just as when planning a vacation—picture yourself walking in God’s best (75:09–76:09).
