Date: March 13, 2026
Speaker: Pastor Nancy Dufresne

Episode Overview

In this powerful message from JTH Crusades 2026, Pastor Nancy Dufresne explores the transformative truth that making changes—especially spiritual corrections—brings greater manifestations of God’s glory into the believer’s life. She emphasizes that God’s healing, provision, and help have already been poured out abundantly, but it is up to the individual to recognize, receive, and distribute these blessings. Nancy weaves in stories, scriptural teaching, exhortation, and practical instructions, urging listeners not to accept defeat, grief, or bondage but to actively engage in faith, worship, and correction, for these are the pathways to freedom and the fullness God desires for His people.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. God’s Provision Has Already Been Poured Out

• Nancy recounts a vision of honeycomb pouring over the earth, symbolizing God’s abundant healing and salvation available to all, not just a select few (00:30).
  • “That is my healing and my salvation that's already been poured out for everyone, and there's plenty. ... Receive what I've already provided.” — Nancy Dufresne telling the vision, 01:08.
• She stresses that believers should stop begging for what’s already provided and instead, by faith, simply receive and distribute it (01:15).

2. Dealing with Despair and Loss of Hope

• Nancy shares a recent spiritual prompting: someone at the meeting is overwhelmed and has lost hope, possibly to the brink of despair (03:52).
  • “Anytime you lose hope, go to the Word and get all you need, but also come to a place like this and be changed.” — Nancy Dufresne, 04:30.
• She draws on the biblical story of Esau’s mother and relates it to not exchanging God’s plan for temporary hardship or negative influence (06:15).
• The anointing destroys every yoke and brings total wholeness—spirit, soul, and body (05:52).

3. Victory Over Grief and Sorrow

• Referencing her book, “Victory Over Grief and Sorrow,” Nancy unpacks Isaiah 53 (“Jesus bore our griefs and sorrows”), explaining that these burdens are so devastating we need divine involvement (09:58).
  • “I cast it over... He bore it. ... Grief and sorrow is so devastating that it requires the Godhead to get involved. And the Godhead got involved and bore it.” — Nancy Dufresne, 10:10.
• She testifies that her choice not to give grief a place is what preserved her after personal loss.

4. Revelation Brings Freedom

• The truth that sets you free must become revelation, not just information (11:43).
  • “When I’m struggling with something, I know I lack revelation. ... The faith comes with the revelation.” — Nancy Dufresne, 11:55.
• Freedom is not dependent on changed circumstances, but on agreement with the truth and refusing to own what Jesus already bore (12:30).

5. Presenting Our Bodies as Worship (Romans 12:1)

• The body is a vessel for worship, not just words or rituals (18:54).
  • “How we handle our body is a form of worship. ... How I handle my body is not just a physical act, it is a spiritual act.” — Nancy Dufresne, 20:13.
• We are stewards, not owners; God’s plan includes how we treat our body, mind, and actions.

6. Repentance and Correction as Pathways to Glory

• Repentance is rewarded by God and never a sign of weakness; correction is proof of God’s love (31:35).
  • “God rewards repentance. ... When you repent, the Father’s never ashamed of you.” — Nancy Dufresne, 32:15.
• The glory of God is accessed by being willing to change (56:59).
  • “We’re changed from glory to glory ... Love change, choose change. Change is the only way to go on with God.” — Nancy Dufresne, 57:07.

7. Becoming Untouchable in God’s Plan

• Using Jesus’ example, Nancy asserts that living in God’s plan makes the believer "untouchable" by the devil (42:35).
  • “You can’t touch a man who’s in the plan.” — Nancy Dufresne, 43:05.
• Disobedience exposes believers to the enemy, but obedience brings supernatural protection and provision (44:00).
• Stories about John Hagee and historical figures illustrate this principle (44:45).

8. Rejecting the Devil’s Touch

• God’s plan is that “the wicked one touches him not” (1 John 5:18; Ephesians 4:27) (37:00, 38:30).
  • “If the devil is touching us, we gave place...but the good news is, if we gave him place, we can take back the place we gave him.” — Nancy Dufresne, 39:15.
• Correction and refusal to accommodate the enemy are vital for restoration.

9. The Power of Praise in Change and Healing

• Praise is the first step to taking corrective action and making spiritual progress (Hebrews 12:12) (58:30).
  • “When you pray, you lay hold of things. But when you praise, you win battles by praising.” — Nancy Dufresne quoting Kenneth Copeland, 01:10:40.
• Praise keeps the believer in the anointing, makes them inaccessible to the enemy (Psalm 91:8), and is the highest form of faith—especially when understanding is lacking (01:14:30).

10. Practical Testimonies Illustrating Change and Praise

• Nancy narrates personal and ministerial experiences showing that praise and prompt obedience to God’s direction result in supernatural turnarounds (01:19:00).
• From financial breakthroughs to relational restoration and finding God’s will in life, the principle remains: praise, correction, and change bring greater glory.
