In this message, Nancy Dufresne speaks to the congregation about the foundational Christian practice of "looking unto Jesus," focusing on the importance of maintaining a deep, conscious awareness of God. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and various biblical examples, she challenges believers to live by prioritizing continual fellowship with God above ministry activities, life responsibilities, and distractions.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Imperative of Focusing on God, Not Just His Work

• Nancy stresses that, although fulfilling God’s plan is important, it must not become the main focus; our eyes must remain on Him (05:00–06:17).
  • Quote: “We can't make the plan the focus. He's the focus. The plan is the way we serve the One we're focused on.” (04:53, Nancy Dufresne)
• Using marriage as an analogy, she warns of losing intimacy in the busyness of "doing life" (07:09–07:44).
  • Quote: “After they get married, they get so busy with the doing of marriage that they forget one another…” (07:09, Nancy Dufresne)

2. The Joy of Obedience and the Enemy’s Tactics

• Nancy shares personal stories of obeying God and how the enemy seeks to trouble believers after obedience, attempting to drain joy by planting regret or fear (08:20–09:17).
  • Quote: “The devil tries to rob us of the joy of obeying our Father. Because obeying our Father is pure joy and not hardship and not struggle.” (09:02, Ed Dufresne)
• She illustrates this with the baptism and trial of Jesus, emphasizing that pleasing God is opposed by the enemy (09:23–10:49).
• God told Nancy: “If you would get in my presence and stay there, you wouldn’t even have to listen to that [the harassment].” (14:39)

3. Living with a Deep Consciousness of God

• “Looking unto Jesus” is explained as a mindset and lifestyle—consciously turning thoughts and attention to God throughout the day (15:48–16:15).
  • Example: Paul and Silas in prison focused on worship, not their circumstances, allowing spiritual victory before natural deliverance (16:15–17:15).
  • Quote: “You decide the exit. You don’t let circumstances pave your exit.” (17:15, Ed Dufresne)

4. Relief vs. Victory: Not Settling for Less Than God's Best

• Nancy contrasts “relief” (escaping trouble) with “victory” (complete overcoming, including the blessing of others and fulfillment of the larger plan), urging believers not to settle for mere relief (17:51–19:18).
  • Quote: “God is not offering us relief. He’s offering us victory.” (17:51. Ed Dufresne)
• She uses biblical examples (Paul’s imprisonment, Silas) to stress the value of holding out for God’s total solution (20:13–21:25).

5. The Role of God’s Presence in Compassion and Ministry

• Intimacy with God develops compassion, love, and genuine care for people—essential qualities for effective ministry (22:23–23:21).
  • “Too many times, people love ministry, but not people…” (23:02, Ed Dufresne)
• A warning is given for the coming revival: The church must embrace people from all backgrounds with the love that comes only from the Father’s presence (25:15–26:42).

6. Looking Away from Distractions to Jesus

• Drawing from Hebrews 12, Nancy highlights how faith heroes point to the ultimate example—Jesus, who “ran in perfection.” (30:11–31:06)
  • Quote: “It didn’t say think of Moses…it said just think of Him [Jesus].” (30:49–30:54)
• Explains how wrong thinking leads to weariness, exhaustion, and loss of heart, emphasizing the importance of keeping mental focus on Jesus to avoid spiritual burnout (34:50–38:07).
• The necessity of discipline in setting one’s mind on spiritual things, not letting circumstances dictate attention. “Set your mind like concrete” (49:12–51:25).

7. Practical Examples and Illustrations

• Elisha and his servant: Faith focuses on the unseen, not the visible threat (52:09–58:49).
  • “When our eyes are set on things above, we’re no longer troubled by what we see in the natural.” (58:19, Nancy Dufresne)
• Personal illustration with her dogs: Remaining "set" and not easily distracted is necessary to receive from God (60:00–62:45).
  • “You don’t get your provision till you learn to stay.” (62:05, Nancy Dufresne)

8. Maintaining Peace by Controlling Focus

• Isaiah 26:3: Peace is the result of a mind stayed on God; lack of peace is an “attention problem, a distraction problem” (59:22–59:53).
• “A worried mind is an unskillful mind…You can turn your attention to him today and become very skillful at that today.” (86:19–86:46, Nancy Dufresne)

9. Looking Unto Jesus in Ministry and Revival

• Gathering: Ministers are called forward for prophetic blessing and impartation for “all that God has for you to be fulfilled” (94:49–104:49).
• Prophetic word (Pastor Noel): There will be an increase of the "spirit of seeing and knowing" in this era (90:49–94:05).

10. Closing Personal Lessons and Encouragement

• Nancy shares that even in times of stress or frustration, choosing to focus on God is a daily decision. “Every thought is a choice.” (89:37)
  • Quote: “God said, ‘You can think about that if you want to, but you’re going to have to give up fellowship with me to do that.’” (89:40, Nancy Dufresne)
• The more you’re with the Father, the more like Him you become (90:22).
• Letting go of anxiety and the unknown—do what you know, and God will give more insight (85:17–85:58).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On attention: “Our faith is our attention. Is our [faith] attached to our attention? ... So many people are struggling with their faith when their attention is on the wrong thing. That’s why you have a problem with your faith.” (44:40, Ed Dufresne)
• On complaining: “Faith people have no complaint in their mouth…Never complain, never explain…Some people need to change their policies.” (45:38–46:46)
• On hardship: “Ministry is not hard. Ignorance is what’s hard.” (34:50–34:52, Nancy Dufresne)
• On distraction: “The number one thing that stops ministers from fulfilling what they’re born for is distraction. Not of wrong things or evil things, but just distraction.” (39:19–39:54, Pastor Happy Caldwell/Paraphrased)
• On victory: “Victory does not begin with knowing what to do. Victory begins with where you’re looking.” (63:43–63:58, Nancy Dufresne)

Transcript

[Nancy Dufresne]

Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Father, we worship you tonight.

[Ed Dufresne]

We give you glory and honor and.

[Praise Leader]

Praise in this place.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We count it an honor to be here in unity together, worshiping you, receiving of what you. What you offer us tonight, what your plan for this service holds for us tonight. We take it all.

[Ed Dufresne]

And we will not approach your word.

[Nancy Dufresne]

With a familiarity that causes us to be casual. But we're hungry tonight. We're hungry. And your word is fresh to us. Your word is life to us.

[Prayer Leader]

And we thank you for it.

[Ed Dufresne]

Father.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We know this. Your word is you. But your word points us to you. We're so grateful to belong to you, and we're so grateful that you belong to us. And everybody said, amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Give somebody a great big God bless you, then you can be seated tonight.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Thank you. I want to thank Pastor Ike for taking the time to do that. And I appreciate what he saw. He said that those wires that he saw coming out of that plug were like a network of television networks. And we'll just let God do it. We just let God do it. And it's just easier when he does it. Not only that, it fulfills the word that he gives when he does it.

[Congregation/Chorus]

So hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Thank you for being a part of that. I. I'm so blessed by what God is having us to address in these meetings. And it's not a light thing to us, because the Word is God, but the Word points us to him so that we can better know Him. And our fellowship can be rich, and our fellowship can be full. And so I'm so grateful. And it's. It's not something I've, so to speak.

[Ed Dufresne]

Studied out to deliver to you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It's something that he put in me to. Just prompted me and directed us this direction. So we'll just follow him in that.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And, you know, it's like he gives us a bone, and then we.

[Ed Dufresne]

Then he puts the meat on it.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And the service is so. And last night, when I went back home after the service, he said to me, he said, tonight, I want you to teach him to look to me, to look to him. And what that means. Amen. We're remembering something that Brother Copeland said in his final remarks Sunday night. And he made this statement. He said, I was born to know him. I was born to be like him. Doesn't get any sweeter than that to hear that. And so in that God offers us His Word for the reason of knowing him and for the reason of being like Him. That's what the word, that's what the.

[Ed Dufresne]

Blood covenant is about. It's all to point to the knowing of Him.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It's all to point to the being like Him. Amen. And if I could say this, because this phrase comes up to me, it's not just beneficial, but it's imperative that we live this life with a deep consciousness of God himself. That as we're fulfilling the plan, we.

[Ed Dufresne]

Have to realize this. We can't make the plan the focus.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He's the focus. The plan is the. Is the way we serve the One we're focused on.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen. And so, too many times I think we have got.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We get so. This is booming a little bit.

[Ed Dufresne]

We get so wrapped up in the.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Doing of the plan that we lose the awareness of the author of the plan.

[Ed Dufresne]

You know, we're endeavoring, we're raising our.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Families, conducting our businesses.

[Ed Dufresne]

Serving in our.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Churches, hungry for the will of God.

[Ed Dufresne]

And in the midst of all of.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That, sometimes we can get our focus.

[Ed Dufresne]

Not as fully as it should be.

[Nancy Dufresne]

On where it should be that we can get so absorbed with all the.

[Ed Dufresne]

Things that must get done that day and leave him out of all of it. So it's not just recommended or beneficial. It is imperative that we live and fulfill and run our race with a.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Deep consciousness of God.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And remind ourselves the reason we're doing this is we want to please Him. We want to please Him.

[Ed Dufresne]

We want to please him. But how could he be pleased if.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We forget him.

[Ed Dufresne]

In the doing of it? And it's so easy to get distracted, things that rob us of the sweetness.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Of the one we're doing this with. Amen. Praise the Lord.

[Ed Dufresne]

And so God is giving us, if.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I could say this, a tune up that we just fine tune.

[Ed Dufresne]

Thank God for the faith life.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But it's also we come to know Him. Amen. It's also that we come to know what he has and move with him. And you know how many times you see people get married and after they.

[Ed Dufresne]

Get married, they get so busy with.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The doing of marriage that they forget one another. And if we're not careful and we.

[Ed Dufresne]

Can become not trying to or not.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Not purposefully, but in revelations, we move away from really what matters first. And it's Him. It's Him. Amen. That we so love him, that when.

[Ed Dufresne]

People get around us, they want Him.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

And so reminding ourselves, and you say.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Pastor Nancy, that's just Fundamental and basic.

[Ed Dufresne]

Yeah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That's why we're visiting it again. Because it is fundamental and it's the basis of everything we do that I want him pleased. My husband used to say this. The blessing is in the pleasing. That when he's pleased, the blessings of God just meet us everywhere we go. Amen. And we know this. Well, I said this, I believe, this morning.

[Ed Dufresne]

I don't know if I don't think.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I completed the statement when I said it in a previous service. But whenever God told me to do something and I did it, then the devil afterwards tried to trouble my mind.

[Ed Dufresne]

About what I had done.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But I knew it was God.

[Ed Dufresne]

But yet he still tried to enter in the after obedience. He tried to. If I could say this, rob, the joy of obedience by harassing you. You shouldn't have done that. It's going to cost you this. Or you don't have enough money now, or you can't do that because you did what God. And he's trying to rob us of the joy of obeying our Father. Because obeying our Father is pure joy and not hardship and not struggle. And it's not a torment. And I refuse to be tormented.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In.

[Ed Dufresne]

My obedience to my Father. Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Remember when Jesus, of course, was baptized at the river Jordan.

[Ed Dufresne]

And this is.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And God spoke from heaven and said.

[Ed Dufresne]

This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. And immediately after that, the Holy Ghost leads him to go to the wilderness. And the devil for 40 days and 40 nights, harassing, trying to trouble the mind. Why rob from him? His father just said he's pleased. And that is one of the things he's trying, if I could say this, rob from him the joy of pleasing his Father and now trying to turn it into a season of oppression. And of course, he went in there and was victorious. He wasn't oppressed. But we see that when the Father was pleased, the devil hates that. And he wants to trouble you when you obey God and please you and harass you in your mind and make you think that now because you obey God, you're going to suffer in some way. Whether it's financially or you've got to lay down your dream to follow God. You can trust God with your dream because he'll give it back to you better. And when you go to obey God, the devil tries to make it a fearful thing, trying to rob the joy.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Out of the obedience of him.

[Ed Dufresne]

And Jesus said, the will of my Father is never grievous. I remember reading, and I believe it.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Was the book my Time in Heaven by Richard Sigmund and. And I don't remember if he was going.

[Ed Dufresne]

It was when he was going to.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Take him down and show him aspects of hell or whether it was when he was coming back to the earth, which. No, I'm teasing. Yeah, no, I'm teasing. But.

[Ed Dufresne]

He so was delighted and thrilled to be in heaven that he just.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Kind of let down when Jesus said that. And I don't want to, basically.

[Ed Dufresne]

And Jesus rebuked him and said, the.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Will of my Father is never grievous.

[Ed Dufresne]

So our faces shouldn't fall. When God directs us in some direction, when he tells us to do something, he leads us to do something. The devil wants to make us turn the commandment and the instruction of the Father into an enemy of our life. And it is the blessing of our life. It is the joy of our life. It is a joy to obey him. It is a thrill to obey him. And the devil would love to rob that from us and give us wrong thinking, treating it like it's a hardship. But God, with God, he's not a hard taskmaster. And anything he asks of us, it might be hard on the flesh, the flesh, but that gets in the way of really enjoying the fullness of the blessing of obedience.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And so let's not be robbed from.

[Ed Dufresne]

And so when I obeyed God in that instruction God gave me, he told.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Me something to do.

[Ed Dufresne]

And for a day and a half the devil was dogging me. Now that you did that, you're not going to have enough for yourself. You're going to have difficulty, you're going to have all kinds of struggles that you're going to face. He wasn't just. He could not get me to undo that. I'd already done it. So what he tried to do was trouble me and get me in the wrong, thinking about what I had done and almost trying to make you regret and trying to make you an enemy of God's instruction. Because God loves a cheerful, joyous prompt to do it.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Giver.

[Ed Dufresne]

And it's not just about money. It's about the giving of obedience, a cheerful obedience, a joyful obedience, a prompt to do it. Obedience. Whether it's giving, whether it's serving, whether it's praying, whether it's whatever it is, that's the kind of approach that we should take in obedience to, to God. And the devil would love to steal the cheerfulness and the joyfulness and the promptness out of our obedience. Because then even if we obey, it's not in full pleasing to the Father because It's not done with the right mindset and the right approach and the right heart. And so once you obey God, the devil will try to trouble you about your obedience because he wants to rob you of the blessing and the joy of obedience, obeying. And so every time for the next day and a half, when the devil.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Would just make that thought suggest something.

[Ed Dufresne]

I would answer it. And then, you know, a little bit later, it would come again, and I'd answer it. I recognized it was the devil and I wasn't going to let him steal it from me. But then the word of the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Came to me and said, if you would get in my presence and stay there, he said, you wouldn't even have to listen to that.

[Ed Dufresne]

Meaning that living with a deep consciousness of God puts us in a place to where harassment is not a lifestyle for us.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And so God said to me, he.

[Ed Dufresne]

Said, if you would get in my presence and stay in my presence, he.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Said, you wouldn't even have to listen to that. And then he said this because that was about that situation.

[Ed Dufresne]

Then he told me about future. And he said, because in the future, I'm going to tell you and instruct.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You to do certain things, and the.

[Ed Dufresne]

Devil will try to take what I instruct you to do and trouble you with it.

[Nancy Dufresne]

So how does.

[Ed Dufresne]

How to stay out of trouble. The troubling. The flow of troubling, because the devil.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Wants to trouble everyone, is to live with a deep consciousness of God. Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

Yes, we put the word in our mouth, but I'm talking about our thoughts carry a consciousness of him that we turn throughout the day, our thoughts toward him and worship him.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And, you know, when Paul and Silas were thrown in prison and Morgan and I were talking about the other day when Paul and Silas were thrown into prison and they prayed and sang praises and the doors came open, most Christians would have said, baby, there's my exit. And they didn't even get up to go because they had already left. I'm talking about in their consciousness and in their worship of God.

[Ed Dufresne]

They had already exited. The door was nothing but a detail.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Yeah, formality.

[Ed Dufresne]

Because they didn't just hurry up and rush out. They had already exited. I don't care what you're facing. You can exit that before any circumstance changes.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And this is what a deep consciousness.

[Ed Dufresne]

Of God will do for you. You decide the exit. You don't let circumstances pave your exit. You can exit at a moment just.

[Nancy Dufresne]

By turning toward him.

[Ed Dufresne]

I'm not talking about being weird and foggy eyed. But I am talking about coming into.

[Nancy Dufresne]

A place in the spirit to where.

[Ed Dufresne]

You recognize I'm in charge.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen. And I was talking to Morgan about this. And this is what we want to understand.

[Ed Dufresne]

God is not offering us relief.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He's offering us victory.

[Ed Dufresne]

Too many are just settling for relief and never going on to gain victory. What would be relief? Paul and Silas getting up and running out as soon as the doors open, that's relief. But victory is. Get the jailkeeper saved, get his house, go and establish a church. Now we're talking about. See, victory is the whole picture. Relief is simply that one circumstance. God does not direct us based on just one thing. He has the whole picture in view when he directs us to do something. So let's. If we're not careful, we'll just want such relief from pressure that we'll just settle instead of hold out for the whole thing. Paul and Silas didn't settle and just get up and run out. They held out for the whole thing. Why? Because they were there with the consciousness of God and not a consciousness of the prison. And this is how we must live with this last. In this last day revival. Because if we're not careful, we will settle for things instead of holding out.

[Nancy Dufresne]

For all of it. I like what one minister said. He said everything that he said, what.

[Ed Dufresne]

Comes to you is either a temptation or a manifestation. And what he meant by that is, when you're in a test, either there will be the manifestation of your answer.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And you take it, or there will.

[Ed Dufresne]

Be a temptation that looks like your.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Answer, but it's a cheat, it's a.

[Ed Dufresne]

Decoy so that you won't wait and.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Hold out for the manifestation.

[Ed Dufresne]

And so when you're faced with a difficulty, what shows up is either going.

[Nancy Dufresne]

To be a temptation or a manifestation.

[Ed Dufresne]

And those doors flying open were a temptation, no doubt.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But they held out for the manifestation. The manifestation.

[Ed Dufresne]

And think about. Paul understood this because remember one time he was on one particular occasion being beaten. And then after that, and they threw him in prison. And then after they beat him, they found out, oh, my gosh, he's a citizen of Rome.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ed Dufresne]

It's unlawful what we did. And they sent word to dismiss him or release him.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And he says, uh, you come down here.

[Ed Dufresne]

See, he's not just taking relief.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Yeah, it's victory. You come.

[Ed Dufresne]

You. You come and walk me out. Don't you just send your.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Your.

[Ed Dufresne]

You beat me openly. You beat me in public. You come down here openly. You're not going to sneak me out at the night hour. This was a man who wasn't looking for relief. If you look for relief, you'll marry wrong. If you look for relief, you'll take the wrong job. But if you look for victory, you don't settle. You don't settle. Praise the Lord. How do you know the difference? Well, the word, yes.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But living with a deep consciousness of.

[Ed Dufresne]

God, you learn his heart. I mean, you pick up from him. You pick up.

[Nancy Dufresne]

His affection, his compassion.

[Ed Dufresne]

His mercy just around him, around him.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Dad Hagin talked about the compassion that is needed in ministering to people. He talked about when John G. Lake heard the woman screaming in pain with cancer halfway down the road.

[Ed Dufresne]

And he ran in because out of compassion, his heart wept and broke for her suffering. And he just went in after all the praying he had done and laying hands on her and all this, he just went in and scooped her up out of compassion. And she was instantly healed. And talking about. And dad Hagin would say this to us, that kind of flow only comes.

[Nancy Dufresne]

From the presence of God, being with God.

[Ed Dufresne]

Confession won't give you that. Not to diminish confession, but they all have their different places and roles. It's when we're in that intimate, intimate place with the Father, we start picking up his characteristics in a way that they start coming to the surface in our lives. The mercy and the compassion and the love and the genuine interest in people and the care and the concern. And you don't make stupid statements like, I would love pastoring if it weren't for the people.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Just to make.

[Ed Dufresne]

And you don't make statements like that because without the people, no one needs your ministry. You have no ministry, because ministry is people. And if you don't love people too many times, people love ministry, but not people.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You'll never reach the end of what.

[Ed Dufresne]

God has for you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You'll never reach the fullness. I was years ago in a service, they had a certain young man, he was, oh, maybe in his early 30s, and he was ministering in the service. And he was a good teacher. And there was a man that was maybe 70 something years old, had been in the ministry for years, and somebody.

[Ed Dufresne]

Said, what did you think about, you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Know, the teaching today? And he said, he's a good teacher now. He just needs to learn to be a good minister. What's that mean? Just because you can teach it doesn't mean that the flow is ministering to people. Amen. And too many times, if we're not careful, we love the work of the ministry, but people, people are the ministry. And we get that interest and care and that concern and genuineness for people in the Father's presence. You can't just listen to a tape and get it. It's by being with the One who so loved the world that he gave. And that's what I'm talking about, a deep consciousness of God. Brother Copeland, when he was here several years ago, he talked about that God was going to send, that he was going to fill up this place with people and there would be, you know, many, many, many that would come and get saved. And he said, just be aware they're not going to be dressed the way you're used to. They're not going to smell the way you're used to. Why? Because there is going to be such an influx and such a flood of the harvest.

[Ed Dufresne]

And they're going to be.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Unchurched, and they're not going to understand. And he said, you're going to have to understand the differences that you're going to find in people that come in.

[Ed Dufresne]

To get right with God because they might be naturally repelling.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But if you're in the Father's presence, you understand. And I'm not talking.

[Ed Dufresne]

And I'm not talking about people who take.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Take a thought like that and say.

[Ed Dufresne]

Well, that's why I can have a carnal church. That's not what we're talking about.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We're talking about people when they come. When they come to Christ, that they're.

[Ed Dufresne]

Going to need love, not somebody with a critical eye.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen. And you get that compassion and that interest and that concern for people in the presence of the Father. Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

And Ed said, this last day revival is going to be a revival of God's mercy.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He said, God is going to heal people you never would have healed. He's going to deliver people you never would have helped. How are we going to recognize that flow of mercy? By being in the presence of the Father, living with a deep consciousness of God, developing the habit of turning toward him all throughout the day, and not just on Sunday morning or midweek service, but our awareness of him becomes our lifestyle.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen. Praise the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

So it means something when Brother Copeland made this statement. True. I was born to know him. I was born to be like him. Amen. Hebrews chapter 11, if you would. Hebrews chapter 11. And verse 39. We're following up this list of faith heroes. And the Bible just briefly mentions and touches on just a few of them. And in listing some of them.

[Ed Dufresne]

In.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Verse 39.

[Ed Dufresne]

It says in all of.

[Nancy Dufresne]

These, these Faith heroes.

[Ed Dufresne]

Though they won divine approval by means of their faith.

[Nancy Dufresne]

They did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised.

[Ed Dufresne]

So the promise that's referred to as the coming Messiah. And the Old Testament saints relied upon the promise of the Messiah, but didn't see him come in the flesh. They didn't see the fulfillment of his work of redemption. They weren't there when the new covenant.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Came into place and when he established the church.

[Ed Dufresne]

They didn't see all that, but they relied on that, that that was going to come. And in verse 40.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Let me say.

[Ed Dufresne]

They did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised, verse 40 because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us. So that they, these heroes and heroines of faith, should not come to perfection apart from us before we could join them. Now, verse 1. Therefore, then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses who have borne testimony to the truth, and we could say this, who ran their race and finished their race and laid hold of what they were laid hold of. For now that they have run their race, now they're watching us. Let us, now that we have them as an example, let us, let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance, unnecessary weight, and that sin which so readily, deftly and cleverly clings to and entangles us. And let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us. Verse 2. Looking away. This is how we run, looking away from all that will distract to Jesus, who is the leader and the source of our faith, giving the first incentive for our belief and is also its finisher, bringing it to maturity and perfection. He for the joy of obtaining the prize that was set before him. What was that prize? That prize was the redemption of creation through carrying out the Father's will.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That's what the prize was.

[Ed Dufresne]

He endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Verse 3. Consider Him. The Amplified says, just think of Him. There's other things offered to think of.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But he said, just think of him.

[Ed Dufresne]

When you're running, think of him. When you're running, think of him. It didn't say think of Moses.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It didn't say think of Caleb or Joshua. It didn't say think of Elijah.

[Ed Dufresne]

Why?

[Nancy Dufresne]

Because Jesus ran perfection. The others ran, but he ran in perfection.

[Ed Dufresne]

So just think of him who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against him. Reckon up and consider it all in.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Comparison with your trials. In other words, start measuring and see how rough life is.

[Ed Dufresne]

So that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds. When we're faced with difficulties and opposition, stop and compare yours to Jesus, and then take your thumb out your mouth. That's really why he's saying that. You think because you're in it, it looks so big, but look at what he went through. Look at what he suffered, and it minimizes. And you realize, no, no, no, no, this ain't even comparable. Because why does he say, consider him when you're running and when you're facing things? Why does he say that?

[Nancy Dufresne]

So.

[Ed Dufresne]

So that you won't quit thinking wrong. So that you won't quit thinking right about it. You'll be tempted to think wrong. Ministry's hard. Lie.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Lie.

[Ed Dufresne]

It's a lie. Starting a church is hard. That's a lie. It's a lie. The Bible says the way of the transgressor is hard. Will there be sacrifices? Yes, but they're not hard. Compare your sacrifice to Jesus sacrifice, and then let's talk hard. If people have this mindset that obeying him and fulfilling the plan, oh, I pay such a price. There is a price, but it's a bargain, baby. It's a bargain. Stephen and Morgan were sitting and listening.

[Nancy Dufresne]

To a minister who shared a testimony.

[Ed Dufresne]

That his wife had been believed years ago, had just stated one day she wanted a Bentley car.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You know, and she had been looking over the.

[Ed Dufresne]

You know, over time, she'd just look here and there and keep her eye.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Out to see if she found one.

[Ed Dufresne]

And online, she found one valued at $250,000. And they were selling it for.

[Nancy Dufresne]

What was it for?

[Ed Dufresne]

54,000, $49,000. I don't know if somebody died or.

[Nancy Dufresne]

What, but this car.

[Ed Dufresne]

And they called and said, is the car sold? They said, well, someone's coming tomorrow to look at it. And this preacher said, we'll be there in two hours with cash. Are you going to really drive off the car lot griping about $49,000 with a $250,000 car? Do we really want to talk about the price we have paid to obey God? See, he said, consider him. He paid the price. Consider what he went through. So that you think right when you're faced with opposition, so that you don't get into the poor. Pity me. And what makes life hard is ignorance. Ignorance is not stupid. Ignorance means you're uninformed. You don't know enough. That's what makes life Hard ministry is not hard.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Ignorance is what's hard.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen. Well, praise the Lord.

[Nancy Dufresne]

So listen to this. He said, consider him reckon up and.

[Ed Dufresne]

Consider it all in comparison with your trials so that you may not grow weary and exhausted, losing heart, relaxing and fainting in your mind.

[Nancy Dufresne]

So notice this.

[Ed Dufresne]

The mind will want to quit.

[Nancy Dufresne]

If you think wrong, the mind will.

[Ed Dufresne]

Want to quit on you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The mind will want to go the wrong direction.

[Ed Dufresne]

You know to think wrong is quitting.

[Prayer Leader]

Here.

[Ed Dufresne]

Notice he said these words that you may not grow weary. The definition of weary is impatient or dissatisfied. Don't get impatient and start working your own plan.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Just because there's things come against you.

[Ed Dufresne]

Don'T you find your own exit route? Don't you look for your own way of relief?

[Nancy Dufresne]

And he said, you have to consider him. Keep your focus and your awareness on what he did so that you don't look for an alternate route when you're under pressure. He didn't look for an alternate route. Then the second thing, it says, so.

[Ed Dufresne]

That you may not grow weary, that.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You may not be exhausted.

[Ed Dufresne]

The definition for exhausted is to drain of strength, to use up or consume completely.

[Nancy Dufresne]

If you think wrong, wrong thinking will consume you.

[Ed Dufresne]

Use up all your strength and you'll.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Think it's the ministry that did it. When it was wrong thinking, your mind.

[Ed Dufresne]

Fainted, your mind went the wrong direction of how you approached this.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I mean, you can. When there's certain things that just, let's.

[Ed Dufresne]

Say, just problems at the office and one thing after another, you can come home and you've only been doing it, handling things a couple of hours maybe. And you just can feel drained of strength with something just constantly mentally weighing on you. You can get up tired feeling drained, right? Exhausted means to expend the whole of to empty by drawing out all your content to deprive holy or useful. Notice that if we think wrong about what we face, it'll empty the strength.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Out of our hearts. It'll exhaust us.

[Ed Dufresne]

It says to deprive wholly of useful.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Or essential properties, possessions or resources to destroy the fertility of the soil, the.

[Ed Dufresne]

Soil of your heart. It'll destroy the fertility of that.

[Nancy Dufresne]

If we think wrong, then it says.

[Ed Dufresne]

Consider him that we not lose heart, that we losing heart and relaxing.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Look at that.

[Ed Dufresne]

Losing heart and relaxing.

[Nancy Dufresne]

So in this list of negatives, right? Relaxing is a negative.

[Ed Dufresne]

Not talking about physical relaxing, but the relaxing of faith, the relaxing of reach, the relaxing, oppressing. Amen. To relax is to diminish the force of, to reduce or stop work, effort and stop application. Then fainting in your mind. The definition is lacking clearness, being feeble, and lacking courage. So he says, consider him so that you don't do any of these things.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And it's all in the mind, right?

[Ed Dufresne]

That's why we have to live with a deep consciousness of God, so that our mind doesn't get rutted in this other thing.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen. Listen. The cloud of witnesses that ran their race, they're watching.

[Ed Dufresne]

And they're interested in the race we're running for. Their labor isn't complete without ours. They ran under their covenant.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But the two covenants we fulfill, they.

[Ed Dufresne]

Fulfill, that we fulfill under the new covenant.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

So I want to go back where it says in verse two, looking unto.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Jesus is what the King James says. The amplified looking away from all that would distract to Jesus. Notice it didn't say looking away from evil, just looking from what distracts. I was back in the back room one time here in the green room, when Brother Pastor Happy Caldwell was here doing our graduation for our Bible school. And he made this statement. He said, said the number one thing that stops ministers from fulfilling what they're born for is distraction. Distraction, he says, not of wrong things or evil things, but just distraction. Amen. So verse two, looking away from all that will distract to Jesus. Notice this. You can't look two places at once. Can't do it. Can't do it. We can't look at opposition and look at Jesus. We can't look at tests and look at Jesus.

[Ed Dufresne]

Are they there?

[Nancy Dufresne]

Yes.

[Ed Dufresne]

But do they have to get our attention?

[Nancy Dufresne]

No. Can't look at your body and look at Jesus. You can't look at your checkbook and just live mindful of that bottom line and look at Jesus. Can't do it. And it takes skill to quit looking at what's loud. Amen. Pastor Ike referred to him, but Pastor David Oyedepo in Africa, and he has. Brother Copeland referred to him while he was here, has the largest church in the world. And he said, people ask me, don't you have a lot of opposition tests and trials? He said, maybe I do. I don't know. I haven't noticed.

[Minister/Intercessor]

Key.

[Nancy Dufresne]

There's a key. The pastor of the largest church in the world just gave us a huge key. I just haven't noticed why he's learned something. Looking unto Jesus, not looking unto everything that's coming against you. Can I tell you this? Husbands, wives, don't make statements like, when you get a new house and something goes wrong. Something's always going wrong.

[Ed Dufresne]

Then get out of the house.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Get.

[Ed Dufresne]

Out.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Get a new car.

[Ed Dufresne]

Oh, I can't believe.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Have a complaint about all the time.

[Ed Dufresne]

If you're going to own something, something is always going to need your attention. If you don't want to give proper attention to things, don't own any. Live like a slave. Never owning anything. Slaves don't own anything. When you accepted what God offered you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You just said yes to challenges.

[Ed Dufresne]

Quit griping about them. Quit complaining about them. Quit. They're part of the process of victory. And it gets old living with somebody who complains about what they have been blessed with. Because there's a lot of people who would love to change positions with you today. What's the problem? People are complainers. Murmurs why they quit looking unto him.

[Nancy Dufresne]

When you look at him. It doesn't matter.

[Ed Dufresne]

I love something that Corrie Ten Boom said.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And you would know of her, who helped during World War II, delivered Jews and things, thrown into a concentration camp, mistreated, lost all of her family. And she said this. When you learn to see God at every hard place.

[Ed Dufresne]

She's not saying God authored every hard place.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Don't misunderstand that.

[Ed Dufresne]

When you learn to see God at.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Every hard place, she said, even the hard places. Bless you.

[Ed Dufresne]

What did she learn she had learned.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Live with a consciousness of God. Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

Praise the Lord. Some of you just look like you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Haven'T slept for a month.

[Ed Dufresne]

But I'm just telling you this is the key to loving your life, fulfilling his plan and pleasing him in the process.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I'm just telling you this is a huge key to fulfilling what you're born for and really living the life he authored for us.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen. How well we run our race, he.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Said looking unto him.

[Ed Dufresne]

How well we run our race and finish that race will be affected by how skillful we are at looking unto.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Him.

[Ed Dufresne]

Looking away from what distracts and.

[Nancy Dufresne]

How fixed we are on Him.

[Ed Dufresne]

Because whether we know it or not, our faith is our attention. Is our attached to our attention. So many people are trying to. They're struggling with their faith when their attention is on the wrong thing. That's why you have a problem with your faith. The Bible says consider. Not considering means where your attention is at. It says Abraham considered, considered, not right. That means he didn't have his attention on the wrong thing. And then when in here, in Hebrews 12, when it says consider him, have your attention on him is what it means. If you have your attention. If you are constantly thinking about things that's going wrong at your house and griping your attention's on the wrong thing. Your attention is not on God bless.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Me with a home.

[Ed Dufresne]

And I tell you what, you complain and have your tension on the wrong thing. The devil will steal the right thing from you because you're so occupied with the wrong thing, you're not even watching.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Over the right thing.

[Ed Dufresne]

Praise the Lord. Faith people have no complaint in their mouth. I was listening. I heard some reporters make a statement about the royal family of how they handle their public image with people. And I'm not trying to see say anything for or against. I'm just saying that the policy within.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Their offices is this. Never complain, never explain.

[Ed Dufresne]

That's good policy. Why? Because the media is always trying to bait them into something and get them into all the celebrity type gossip of media and they just won't go there because they go, we have a different standard. We go by.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Now.

[Ed Dufresne]

I'm just saying, I'm not saying about whether they do it personally or whatever.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I'm saying the office policy of their offices is this. Never complain, never explain.

[Ed Dufresne]

That works pretty good. Some people need to change their policies.

[Nancy Dufresne]

How well we run our race and finish will be based on how well we look, how focused and how much we hold our attention on the one that did it right. And let me just read these for time's sake. And let me just read the references. Psalm 57, verse 7 says this.

[Ed Dufresne]

My heart is fixed. I like this word, fixed. My heart is fixed. Oh God, my heart is fixed. He says it twice. My heart is fixed. My heart is fixed. He said, I will sing and give praise. Why? Because I'm not wavering. I'm fixed. So since I'm not wavering, I'm singing.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

If you're not singing, you're not fooling fixed.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You're not firm footed. When you're fixed, you're certain.

[Ed Dufresne]

Psalms 108:1. O God, my heart is fixed. I will sing and give praise even with my glory. Psalms 112, verse 7. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings, for his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. So what is a fixed heart? It's a trusting heart.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

And the one who's fixed and the one who is trusting. That means his attention is fixed on the one he's trusting. His attention is fixed on the one he's trusting. That's why he's not afraid. He's not afraid. He can't meet his mortgage.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Because his.

[Ed Dufresne]

Attention is not on his mortgage. His attention is on the one who is the provider. If you're afraid of something, something Needs fixing. Something needs to be anchored, something needs to be fixed, fortified. Your footing needs to be firmed up on the one you're trusting. Amen. Part of trusting is fixing your tension. Praise the Lord. Colossians. Colossians chapter three. Turn with me if you would.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Colossians chapter three. And verse 2. This is the amplified. Colossians chapter 3, verse 2. Set your minds and keep them set. See, we can come to a service and our minds get fixed on him, our minds get set on Him. Then we walk out and go back.

[Ed Dufresne]

To what we laid at the front.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Door when we came in, pick it.

[Ed Dufresne]

Back up and go out and act like life as usual. This is the remedy for that. Set your minds and keep them set on what is above the higher things, not on the things that are on the earth. The word set, that definition of that, means to resolve or decide upon to put into a fixed, rigid or settled state, firm and permanent, like concrete. So we could say this. Set your mind like concrete and keep it set like concrete on higher things. If it's set, it's not coming down to lower. If it's set, it's not coming down. You understand? If it's set, it won't come down. It's not God's job to set it, it's our job to set it. Worshiping and waiting before the Lord and having a deep consciousness of the greater One on the inside of us plays a role in us setting our minds. Because when we're in his presence, it helps.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And we're worshiping him. It helps us to set our minds. Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

It also involves disciplining the thought life by casting down imaginations, taking every thought into captivity. It involves holding our attention and focus on spiritual things and not natural things. That means we can't just be absorbed with what's natural and think that we're going to have peace up here.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Hallelujah. Second Kings Chapter six. Go with me if you would. Second Kings Chapter six.

[Ed Dufresne]

And just for time's sake, we won't.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Read the entire passage, but the King of Syria was strategizing against God's people and was going to launch war.

[Ed Dufresne]

And Elisha the prophet, what would happen is the king of Syria would speak, speak out loud and say, tomorrow we're going to set ourselves in this location for attack. But by speaking it now, those words would be heard in the ear of the Prophet. And so the prophet Elisha would go to the King of Israel and say, tomorrow they're going to be there. And it says, it didn't happen once it didn't happen twice. It happened more than twice. So either three, four. It doesn't say how many times that kept happening. So the king of Syria realizes that every time he sets a plan, that thing gets sabotaged. So he finally said among his own, who is it that is working for them? You know, and one of them spoke up and said, there's no one betraying you. There's a prophet that hears what you say in your bedchamber. Yeah. So the king of Syria can't even launch war successfully against God's people until he gets that prophet's mouth shut, because he exposes everything by the spirit. So he sends an army to go after one man who was fixed. When you're fixed, an army can't even undo you. When you're focused, an army cannot even frighten you. An army came after one man, unarmed, not a warrior, not carrying weapons, didn't have bodyguards. He had one servant with him, and they sent the entire army. Go get them. That one man. The devil is afraid of people who hear and know the right realm. They sent a whole army. And so Elisha or his servant comes out the next morning, and the whole.

[Nancy Dufresne]

City is surrounded to come after them. Like I told you, quit talking so much.

[Ed Dufresne]

So, verse 13. And he said, go and spy where he is. So the king of Syria is saying about Elisha, go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. He's going to fetch him with an army. And it was told him, saying, behold, he is in Dauphin, verse 14. Therefore sent he thither horses and chariots, and a great host. And they came by night and compassed the city about. Now, that would have been quite a dramatic sight. And when the servant of the man of God was risen early and gone forth, he went outside. Behold, a host encompassed the city both with horses and chariots. And the servants said unto Elisha, alas, my master, how shall we do? And he answered, fear not the first thing. Don't you let fear in. There's no need for it. Why? Because when you're fixed, you see something more than fear or things that make you fearful. Fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. It does not say that Elisha saw anything, did he? I don't know.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It doesn't say that he saw into the spirit realm.

[Ed Dufresne]

He just knew scripture.

[Nancy Dufresne]

There's more with us than with them.

[Ed Dufresne]

So anytime you see something that tries to frighten you. No, there's more with you. There's more with you. There's more with you. That's not true because you're Elisha or a prophet. It's true because the greater one is in you. And he said, fear not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed and said, lord, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He didn't say that Elisha saw.

[Ed Dufresne]

Why? Because when you're fixed, you've already seen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

What you need to see.

[Ed Dufresne]

You already know what you need to know. You're firm. You're fixed.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But his eyes needed to see something.

[Ed Dufresne]

And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. What's that mean? Stay with a man of God because they're around him. They're not around the servant, they're around him. It matters that you're with someone who is surrounded. To see what these two men saw in the natural would be overwhelming to the natural man. You walk out and you see the city surrounded, and they're after you and they don't miss. And you would have to be practiced and skillful at keeping your eyes set on things that are higher and things that are invisible and things that are not seen. You'd have to be skillful. And Elisha's knowing protected Gehazi's peace. There are other people around you that don't know what you know. And God will let you use what you know to protect their peace.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

So when Gehazi's were open and he.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Saw the spirit realm, he was no longer troubled by what was in the natural. You get that? When our eyes are set on things above, we're no longer troubled by what we see in the natural. If we're troubled by what we see in the natural, we now have the opportunity to practice fixing our eyes. Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

God's realm is always stocked with your provision. Whatever that provision need is, it's loaded with your provision. Look there. This is what looking unto Jesus includes. Amen. And we know this 1. Isaiah 26, verse 3.

[Ed Dufresne]

You will guard him and keep him in perfect, constant peace. Not peace that stops and starts.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Stops and starts. Constant peace.

[Ed Dufresne]

That's God's part. It says God will keep him, will guard him and keep him in perfect peace.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Now here comes man's part whose mind is stayed on him.

[Ed Dufresne]

If you're not peaceful, it's a mind problem. It's not a devil problem.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It's an attention problem. It's a distraction problem.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen. It takes practice to become skillful at staying your mind on the right thing.

[Nancy Dufresne]

When wrong things are so visible.

[Ed Dufresne]

I have three dogs now. I have the ones I have had Lad and Chap and now I got Dandy. So Lad and Chap, Lad is a gentleman.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Chap is badly mannered.

[Ed Dufresne]

Sweet but needy, always inserting himself. He doesn't want you to. He doesn't want you to pet him, he wants you to quit petting Ladd.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You know.

[Ed Dufresne]

And his body is just always like this. And Ladd just sits and looks at.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Him and tolerates, you know, him.

[Ed Dufresne]

And so when it's treat time, what.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I say is you have to sit, you don't get it til you stay. And Chap, bless his heart, Ladd just comes in, there he sits.

[Ed Dufresne]

Cause he knows you don't get anything til you sit. So he just walks in and sits and Chap sits.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Then he jumps up, then he sits.

[Ed Dufresne]

And he jumps and he sits and he jumps up and he sits and he jumps up. And Ladd's just, I can't get my treat till you stay down. And Ladd is doing it right, but the one he hangs out with is doing it wrong. And so Ladd can't, although he's doing it right, he's hanging out with those who are doing it wrong.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And.

[Ed Dufresne]

Let that speak for itself. And bless his heart, Chap will, I mean just his backside will barely touch, skim the floor and then it's back.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Up and then it's.

[Ed Dufresne]

I wonder if.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We look like that to Jesus.

[Ed Dufresne]

I just wonder. We're set, then we're up, then we're set, then we're set, then we're focused.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Then.

[Ed Dufresne]

You don't get your provision till.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You learn to stay.

[Ed Dufresne]

Because he said, keep your mind stayed.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Just knowing where the floor is is.

[Ed Dufresne]

Not enough to get the provision. You got to stay in your place, keep your thoughts in the proper place, keep your attention on the proper things and stay there. Because if God, and let me tell you, God will, God will train you in the staying. He will train you in the staying. Because if you only stayed for 15 minutes and then he blessed you with.

[Nancy Dufresne]

What you were believing for, we showed.

[Ed Dufresne]

Up, then you've only got 15 minutes ability to stay. Yeah, that's it, you're done.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You know, so does he torture us?

[Ed Dufresne]

You know by. No, I'm not sitting there trying to torture Lad, it's just that. I'm sorry, but Chap has issues. And until these issues get fixed right.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Now.

[Ed Dufresne]

And it's not the devil Withholding.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It's the lack of staying. It's the lack of staying keeping the mind fixed. Stay in the presence of God. Stay focused. Stay fixed.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen. Well, praise the Lord. And then we know. And we won't take time to read.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The whole passage, but let me just quote it to you. In 2 Chronicles 20, we know about how Jehoshaphat was challenged with these five enemy armies that joined forces against them.

[Ed Dufresne]

And what he said, he said, oh.

[Nancy Dufresne]

God, will you not exercise judgment upon them?

[Ed Dufresne]

For we have no might to stand against this great company that's coming against us. We don't know what to do. But our eyes, our eyes, our eyes, our attention, our focus, it's on you. So victory does not begin with knowing what to do. Victory begins with where you're looking. You understand that too many times people thought, if I knew what to do. If you know where to look, you'll find out what to do. So victory doesn't begin with knowing everything. Don't turmoil, because you don't know what to do when you're faced with something. Just know where to look. And he will make sure if you will stay fixed with your attention on him, he will lead you to your answer. He will make sure that your answer is found. Amen. Hallelujah. So looking unto Jesus is holding our focus, our attention on Him. Through worshiping, through waiting, through waiting, ministering to Him. It's through holding to His Word. Because I'm not talking about something that's just done in emotional waiting period, you know, where you work up feelings of worship and feelings of affection, but it's based on the Word. Amen. Because He. Because he is the Word made flesh.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In his presence and in His Word, we gain light.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Ed Dufresne]

Praise the Lord. Looking unto Jesus, practicing holding our attention.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

Praise the Lord. Stand with me to your feet.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Father, we're so grateful tonight that we.

[Ed Dufresne]

Have a race to run. We're all running the race. And there is a revival to fulfill.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And it's got to be done his way. And he tells us how.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Looking unto Jesus and consider him. Father, we're so grateful tonight that you.

[Ed Dufresne]

Give us the best place to look. That no matter what we're faced with tonight, no matter what we may be dealing with in our lives, we always have the best place to look. And by positioning our attention there, we position ourselves to receive all that you have for us.

[Nancy Dufresne]

So we thank you tonight, Father, we worship you. Just lift up your hands, lift up your voice and worship Him. Tonight we worship You, Father. We worship you, Father.

[Prayer Leader]

We worship you.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Minister/Intercessor]

Father.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We are no longer impressed by things that surround us, but we are impressed with the one who is in us. And we focus our thoughts on higher things. We look not at the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen. I love something that Lillian B. Yeomans writes in her book. She makes this statement. It says, while we look not at things that are seen. She said, if you're looking at what is seen, you are in sin against the word. Because the Bible says, look, not see. We've treated it like it's optional. And she called it sin. Because the Word says, look not at the things which are seen, but the things which are unseen. Our peace level will be determined by our focus. Peace is in us. Absolutely belongs to us. But the more skillful we are at staying focused on the right thing will determine our peace level. Amen. While we look not at the things which are seen, but we look at that which is not seen. Why? Because that's the flow we're living out of, is that unseen flow.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We worship you, Jesus.

[Prayer Leader]

We thank you. We thank you. We thank you. We you thank. Thank you, Father.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Let's go ahead and let's sing something, Ms. Regina.

[Ms. Regina (Singer)]

I let the peace of God rule in my heart it quiets my mind from fearful thoughts and when problems arise like storms on the sea the peace of the Lord is upon me I let the peace of God rule in my heart Quiets my mind from fearful thoughts and when problems rise like storms on the sea the peace of the Lord is upon me Peace of God rules in my heart it quiets my mind from fearful thoughts and when problems rise like storms on the sea the peace of the Lord is upon me the peace of the Lord is upon me the peace of the Lord is upon me.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Remember what I started out with, with what God said to me. He said, you're going to have to make sure you're living in my presence. Because he said, I'm going to tell you to do things in the future that the devil will try to trouble your mind with. Amen. So know this. In this revival, we're going to be used in ways we haven't been used before. We're going to be instructed, do things we haven't done before. Amen. And we're going to have to be ready to obey that so that we move further with him. But I want to especially minister to anyone in here tonight that oppression. You're harassed in your mind. Depressed, entrenched in fear. None of us and everybody has to take their steps, stand against these things. But I'm referring to someone who. It seems like you can't get in front of this thing. You're just entrenched in fear and torment, panic, anxiety, all those things are nothing but the flow of fear, depression and harassed, tormented. There's help for you.

[Ed Dufresne]

There's a life that awakens, awaits you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

That is complete peace and complete joy.

[Ed Dufresne]

But if you need help tonight, there's a united faith here.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

There's the anointing that destroys that yoke. But it won't ever take the place of you doing the right thing with your mind.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But we can still minister to you.

[Ed Dufresne]

That help that's here.

[Nancy Dufresne]

So if that's you, come up here and will minister to you.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Come up real quickly.

[Ms. Regina (Singer)]

Wings of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace so turn your eyes upon Jesus us Look full in his wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory, glory and grace. I will turn my eyes upon Jesus I look full in your wonderful face and the things of earth grow strangely dim in the light of your glory and grace in the light of your glory and grace in the light in the light of your glory and grace.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Congregation just reach your hands out this way. Satan. You take your hands off their minds. Be free in Jesus name. Free, free in Jesus name. Be free in Jesus name Be free in Jesus name.

[Ed Dufresne]

Father, we thank you that as these.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Calls are laid upon those sick ones, that that anointing is transferred into their bodies.

[Ed Dufresne]

And it will drive out. If there's a presence of an evil.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Spirit, it will drive it out. It'll drive out sickness, pain, symptoms, disease, and they'll be free in Jesus name. We believe you for it and thank you for it.

[Prayer Leader]

We thank you, Father.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Free in Jesus name. Free in Jesus name.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Can I tell you, there have been.

[Pastor Noel]

Listen.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The devil's going to challenge your mind.

[Ed Dufresne]

And it's right to feed on the Word.

[Nancy Dufresne]

It's right to confess the Word. Absolutely. But don't leave out worshiping the Father. It's right to pray in the spirit.

[Ed Dufresne]

But the thing about when you're praying.

[Nancy Dufresne]

In the spirit in a situation like that, it says the mind's not edified. It bypasses the mind, it doesn't involve the mind.

[Ed Dufresne]

And at a time when you need peace, you need something that involves your mind.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And worship is one of the best.

[Ed Dufresne]

Things to involve Your mind, it gets.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Your attention on the One who has made victory yours, and off of what comes against you. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Ed Dufresne]

And you have to take an active.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Role of worship, worship and worship and worship and worship and worship. That's one way we set our focus on Him. That's one way that we look unto Him. That's one way we consider Him. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Let's just wait before Him.

[Ed Dufresne]

There are anointings, there are flows, there are manifestations that can only be fulfilled.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Through someone who is skillful with their thought life, skillful in their authority, skillful.

[Ed Dufresne]

In who they are, in Christ. So know this, being called to it.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Does not qualify you. You must become skillful in this place of the Word and prayer, fellowshipping with the Father, entering into that place in the Spirit and knowing how, with the.

[Ed Dufresne]

Accompaniment of the Holy Ghost, to yield.

[Nancy Dufresne]

To him, to enter into those places in the Spirit to where you see.

[Ed Dufresne]

To where you know. But just being called to them does not qualify. Do not count on your calling to.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Qualify you for these flows. You must take this Word and be skillful and make it your lifestyle, make it the way you choose to live. With your focus, your attention, the eyes of your Spirit fixed on. On the greater one, fixed on the Word, fixed on the Father who is the author.

[Prayer Leader]

We thank you, Father.

[Nancy Dufresne]

There are some in here that you step so far. You step in and then you step out. And then it seems like you go more steps back. And then you step just up, forward one, and then lose ground even further. And you go, I just don't know why I can't seem to get past some things in the natural, why I can't get past some things in the.

[Ed Dufresne]

Flesh, why I can't get into some things of ministry that I know I'm.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Supposed to be flowing in. And this is the help, this is the instruction. Go further in the Spirit. Take longer in my presence. And in my presence, those things that have been your enemy will fall from you. Those hindrances and oppositions and things that would try to block your progress. So in my presence, those things lose their foothold and they slip away from around your life and around your ministry. And you're no longer constantly trying to deal with them, but you're dealing with. With me. You deal with my presence. You enter my presence, and my presence and the fellowship at my throne gets your attention. And all of your attention shifts from that which has been opposing you. And when you consider not, it falls away. And the reason it has stayed troubling the lives of those and holding back or hindering is because they've considered. Considered too long. When you consider not, they have no place of entrance.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Prayer Leader]

We praise you, Father. We praise you, Father.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Listen, in our life of faith, let's not leave out faith for fellowship with God. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Hallelujah.

[Praise Leader]

Praise the Lord.

[Prayer Leader]

We worship you, Father. We worship you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I was thinking today I saw a particular woman. Precious. Precious. She wasn't a preacher, but she was so skillful in prayer. She's gone home to be with the Lord now, but when Ed and I lived in Tulsa in the 80s and we got word that she had asked my husband to come and pray for her because she was diagnosed with. I believe it was breast cancer. And she was in the hospital.

[Ed Dufresne]

And Ed and I walked in and he.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Laid hands on her and prayed. And she said something. She said, I'm not sure why this, you know, has come on me. And then all of a sudden, you could see a little bit. She'd catch herself and she'd say, but I'm not going to touch that. I'm going to stay in his presence, and I'm going to stay in the Spirit, and He will show me. And I just saw the skill that.

[Ed Dufresne]

When the mind wanted to grab hold.

[Nancy Dufresne]

She turned right back away from it. And that example, I've never forgotten as long as I live. I was so blessed to see her.

[Ed Dufresne]

Just as natural and human as anybody else that would. The mind would want to go there.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And she'd say, but I'm not going there. Amen.

[Ed Dufresne]

Some of us need to say, I'm done going there. I'm done going there. I'm done calculating.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I'm done trying to figure out. I'm just going to stay in his spirit, in his presence. In the spirit, you say? In the Spirit, Praying in the Holy Spirit. All these things assist us in staying conscious of the greater one. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Prayer Leader]

We worship you, Father. We worship you, Father. We worship you, Father. We worship you, Father. We worship you, Father.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And I would like to say this. Some people's minds go to this. Well, it's been this way for years. I've never seen anything change. I need certain things. I've just never seen God do anything.

[Ed Dufresne]

Don't let your mind go there. Don't let your mind cheat you. Don't let what you've seen in the.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Past cheat what God has for you now. And then you dismiss because you can't.

[Ed Dufresne]

Figure out and you can't calculate how he's going to do.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He's going to do things you've never seen him do, but not by having thoughts that have always been just getting in his presence. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Ed Dufresne]

I love something I heard dad Hagin say one time.

[Nancy Dufresne]

He said, said, I don't allow myself to touch on what I don't know because the devil will always try to.

[Ed Dufresne]

Bring up, especially when you're faced with something.

[Nancy Dufresne]

You don't know what to do about this. You don't know what to do about this. This is a new strategy. This is a new device that the Devil brings, or this is a new form of opposition for you or something. He says, I never let my mind touch in what I don't know. I just do wholeheartedly what I know, already do know. And then God will bring me into. Once I've done what I do know, he'll bring me into what I need to know. Amen. So many people are uptight because they don't know. Forget what you don't know.

[Ed Dufresne]

We know that there's things we all lack in knowledge.

[Nancy Dufresne]

But if we'll just stay in the Spirit, he'll be able to direct us, whether it's through a sermon or studying the Word or somebody saying something, giving us the light that we need. He'll bring us into it. So don't worry about these things. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

A worried mind is an unskillful mind. A worried mind is an unrenewed mind. Just recognize that and say, not me anymore. Not me anymore. I don't care if you just got saved today. You can turn your attention to him today and become very skillful at that today.

[Ed Dufresne]

Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

Are you helped tonight? I appreciate these kinds of services. It's completely different than possibly the way things have gone in the past. But God is getting us ready for further things of this era, of this revival, further things of the Spirit. And these are things we have to address and we have to make an emphasis of these things. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Prayer Leader]

We thank you, Father. We thank you. We thank you.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We thank you.

[Pastor Noel]

You.

[Prayer Leader]

We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father.

[Nancy Dufresne]

We worship you, Father.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

I remember after Ed went home to be with the Lord, there were so many details you can understand that have to be addressed. And in the midst of a very full plate, something else arose that was completely unnecessary, that called for my attention. And I wasn't very pleased that it arose because it was completely Unnecessary. And I was thinking as I was sitting, putting on my makeup, you know, for hour and a half, two hours. No, I'm teasing. Long periods of time, you know, that. And I was sitting there and I was thinking, you know, I just wish that hadn't. That situation hadn't shown up. It was just unnecessary. It just gives you more to deal with. You know, it's not going to really end up working against you, but it's just. It was unnecessary. And I. I just kind of, you know, wishing that it hadn't. And as I was sitting there thinking about it, God said, now you can think about that if you want to, but if you do, you have to give up fellowship with me to do it. Did you get that? If you're just going to sit and rehearse. Why? Because you can't do two things at once. Looking unto him. You can't look two ways at once. You can't look at people that are disappointing you and then look at Him. You can't look at this and that. We have to choose. What do we want to fellowship with today?

[Ed Dufresne]

Every thought is a choice.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And God said, you can think about that if you want to, but you're going to have to give up fellowship with me to do that. I've given up fellowship with God too many times over things that didn't matter and weren't worth it no more. I'm going to train my father. Life that my thoughts are for him. My thoughts are for Him. They're not for things that just want to deplete out of us. Amen. Smith Wigglesworth made this statement. He said, the more I'm with the.

[Ed Dufresne]

World, the more like the world I become.

[Nancy Dufresne]

The more I'm with the Father, the more like the Father I become. So we decide. We decide. Amen. And we refortify that consecration. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

[Nancy Dufresne]

Looking unto Jesus is observing how he did it, doing it the way he did it. Amen. Following his example that involves that.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.

[Nancy Dufresne]

And he did it by the power of the Holy Ghost.

[Congregation/Chorus]

[Nancy Dufresne]

The air needs right music. It's part of the equipment. It's part of the ministering to the Lord. Spirit songs. Thank God for the wonderful spirit songs that have come through past moves. And we can certainly still derive the anointing that's on those. But we have to remember this. God said something to me when he spoke to me about writing books. And I said, God, Brother Hagin has done it so masterfully. Be glad to just keep selling his books, promoting them, because we feed on those and they feed us so much. And God said to me, one man serving his generation does not dismiss you from serving your generation. And we can't just. It's good to be blessed by what previous generations did. But God wants every man of his generation to serve his generation. That means you can't dismiss yourself from what God wants to flow through you. Amen.

[Congregation/Chorus]

Hallelujah.
