Episode: Miracles Belong To Us | Nancy Dufresne | Collinsville, Oklahoma | JTH Crusades 2025 | Monday PM
Date: October 14, 2025

Overview

In this episode, Pastor Nancy Dufresne delivers a faith-charged message at the JTH Crusades in Collinsville, OK focused on the central theme: Miracles aren’t just possible—they belong to every believer. Drawing on scripture, powerful testimonies, and memorable spiritual encounters, she calls the Church to rise up and contend for God's best: lives free from sickness, lack, and defeat. Pastor Nancy explores why many Christians settle for less than God’s best, how to cooperate with God’s supernatural provision and healing, and why the Body of Christ must expect, teach, and manifest miracles as a norm, not a rarity.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. God's Standard: Wholeness in Every Area

• God desires every part of life perfected—spirit, body, mind, family, finances, and future generations. ([00:00])
  • “He doesn't want one facet of our life perfected and other facets unperfected.” (Nancy Dufresne, 00:15)
• It pleases God when not just hearts, but bodies function at optimum and children walk in blessing.
• Corporate faith fuels higher expectation—miracles come in an atmosphere where God’s people are hungry together.

2. Receiving What Already Belongs to Us

• Pastor Nancy recounts “Dad” Hagin’s vision and Jesus’ words:
  • Jesus said His best is that His children never be sick, need operations, or have accidents. ([05:09])
  • “Worry closes the door to the power of God.” (Nancy Dufresne, 04:17)
  • Three reasons believers miss God’s best: lack of knowledge, undeveloped faith, and disobedience. ([08:32])
  • “All fixable on our side.”

3. Defining True Prosperity and Provision

• Money isn’t the only provision—supply is broader (favor, restoration, resources, etc.).
  • “Quit limiting provision to money... any supply you need is your prosperity, including money. But don’t limit it to money.” (10:23)
• God’s provision sometimes bypasses currency entirely (ex: ministry airplane restored by obedience, not cash).

4. Demanding God’s Best; Rejecting 'Lesser Flows'

• Refusal to settle is encouraged. Israel left Egypt with no feeble among them—how much more should the New Covenant Church expect wholeness? ([13:18])
  • “There was not one feeble person among their tribes... these are slave bodies!” (Nancy Dufresne, 13:18)
• “Shame on the Church” if we receive less than Israel under a lesser covenant. (Dake’s commentary cited 18:13)
• “If we’re doing cleanup, we’re doing it wrong... We’re the head and not the tail.” (Nancy Dufresne, 16:34)

5. Obedience & Correction Unlock Miracles

• Pastor Nancy shares her husband Ed's cancer diagnosis, resolved through repentance over lack of rest and prophetic disobedience. ([23:54])
  • “Healing scriptures alone couldn't fix it; obedience was required.” (24:41)
• Testimonies must reflect what makes us different—what we know, we must apply.

6. Stirring Faith for the Miraculous

• The Church must "ring the dinner bell" for healing and miracles, not just talk but manifest God’s power. ([25:50])
• Anything tolerated remains: “What we don’t resist has permission to stay.” (27:09)
• Living in God’s presence isn’t earned but occurs in turning toward Him—miracles flow from relationship, not performance. ([28:41])
• Skill in the spirit realm is acquired by choosing, turning, and speaking.

7. Miracles in the Modern Church: Vision, Expectation, & Preaching

• Notable: Ed (her late husband) regularly asked crowds if any had seen missing limbs restored; almost none had. ([29:57])
  • Pastor Nancy shares a vivid dream in which she witnessed legs growing out gracefully—a vision God gave because she had no living model for it. ([31:45])
    • “You have to see it to do it. More of us could see it, if we go to the place to see.” (Nancy Dufresne, 37:11)
• Miracles must be preached and expected to be manifested. If we don’t preach it, we won’t see it.

8. Scriptural Foundation for Wholeness and Miracles

• Psalm 139: God formed every member; His intention is completeness physically and otherwise. (43:54)
  • “He did not count you with a missing leg, a missing arm…He intends for you to start with all of them, and he intends for you to finish with all of them.” (47:31)
• Matthew 15: Jesus healed all who came, including the maimed—restoration of missing parts, in one meeting ([50:43])
  • “He healed them all…those with missing arms and legs had new ones.” (51:32, recounting scripture)

9. Faith That Takes: Practical Testimonies

• Testimony: A mother thanks God daily for her disabled son’s legs for almost a year before he miraculously walks. ([56:25])
• Testimony: Pastor Oyedepo’s bold congregational decrees—his authority (and the people’s honor for it) results in a supernatural absence of miscarriages and child deaths. ([58:41])
  • “There is so much power in the pastoral office pastors…as a pastor, you have a right to declare over those that you have oversight of.” (59:40)
• Testimony: Miraculous financial provision—standing in faith, refusing to fear or “lean on people,” God provides a needed $500,000 in time. (72:30-75:00)

10. Persistent Faith & Refusing to Quit

• The only harm in continuing to believe is quitting; many miracles are lost due to premature quitting. ([56:25], [76:18])
  • “How long do we have to say yes? Until it manifests.”
  • “You can speed up the manifestation or slow it down. How? Get the word in you in great abundance. The more we say it, the more we have it.” (77:31)

11. Our Words Authorize God’s Works

• Jesus spoke the words, and the Father did the works. ([80:00])
  • “God goes where faith puts him…if they’re small words, He does small works; and if they’re large words, He does large works. So the body of Christ needs to start speaking larger.” (80:49)
• “Ask God extravagantly”—Smith Wigglesworth quote + Psalm reference.

12. Miracles: Ministry Time and Manifestations

• Extended ministry time for those with metal rods, plates, screws ([86:25])
  • Multiple testimonies of immediate improvement in pain, mobility, metal “dissolved” or rendered flexible, able to kneel or bend after years.
    • “Could you have done that before? You couldn’t have done that before tonight…let’s see it. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord!” (98:49)
  • Emphasis: Give action to the anointing; do something you couldn’t do before.

For Listeners

This episode is a stirring call to action for every believer to contend for and expect creative miracles and wholeness—not just for themselves, but for the Body of Christ as a witness to the world. Victory is in knowing, saying, and taking what God has already said is yours. The miraculous life is not God’s rare exception, but His intended norm.
