Episode Overview

This episode, hosted by Pastor Nancy Dufresne, centers on the foundational role of honor and reverence in unlocking the miraculous power of God, particularly in the context of healing and miracles.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Restoring of Honor Precedes Miracles

Key Teaching (00:00–09:21)

• Nancy reflects on a statement from Dad Hagin:

  "When reverence and honor are restored, there will be a restoration and multiplication of the miraculous power of God."
  (Nancy Dufresne, 00:35)

• The miraculous often involves the suspension of natural laws:

  "...when we start seeing even a greater degree of the laws of physics violated...there are end-time miracles for the end-time harvest."
  (00:57)

• Miracles that have never been seen will be opposed; precedent for “firsts” is found throughout scripture.

2. The Law of Honor

Key Teaching (09:21–18:00)

• God honors those who honor Him, and it is up to us to determine how much honor flows into our lives:

  "Those that honor me, I will honor. And those that despise me shall be lightly esteemed."
  (Nancy Dufresne, quoting scripture, 05:36)

• Reverence is not treating holy things as common; dishonor is simply to treat what’s important to God as unimportant.

3. Corporate & Personal Atmosphere Matters

Key Teaching (18:00–27:37)

• The response of the congregation affects the level of the anointing and the manifestation of miracles:

  "No one, preacher, minister, pastor, teacher, can do any more than a congregation or a group of people will let him do."
  (Nancy Dufresne, 10:42)

• To honor the Holy Spirit, we must become students of His ways and learn how to “hook on” to what He’s doing.

4. Personal Obedience and Spirit-Led Faith

Key Teaching (27:37–49:00)

• Miracles begin when we hear; faith starts with God speaking to us—either through the Word or by the Spirit:

  "Faith requires revelation to work. That’s why you have to hear first: what is God saying to you?"
  (Nancy Dufresne, 35:54)

• Personal testimonies illustrate learning to follow the Spirit’s specific instructions, such as in health decisions.

5. Doing What He Says

Key Teaching: The Wedding at Cana & Naaman (49:00–61:00)

• Mary’s instruction:

  “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
  (John 2:5 illustrated, Nancy Dufresne, 38:34)

• Miracles often require simple obedience that defies our expectations or pride, exemplified in the story of Naaman the leper.

6. Practical Examples & Warnings

Key Teaching (61:00–70:31)

• Naaman almost loses his miracle due to offense at simple instructions, the location, and the lack of personal attention.
• The importance of associating with people who support your faith, not doubt or unbelief.

7. Ministry Time: Healing & Miracles Released

Important Segment (70:31–90:00)

• Sequential calls for specific conditions: heart, eyes, mental torment/addictions, cancer/growths, shoulders, respiratory issues/COVID, backs, sleep disorders, knees, hips, ears, and metal body parts.
• Each minister is invited up to lay hands or address those needs both in-person and via livestream.
• Emphasized instruction: Give action to the anointing (e.g., move the part that was healed).

8. Real-Time Testimonies

Memorable Moments (84:53, 88:58, 92:12, 94:55)

• Testimonies pour in from both in-person participants and online viewers, including instant relief from shoulder and back pain, improved vision, freedom from mental torment, breathing improvements, and more:

  "Someone said, 'I'm healed on my right shoulder. It no longer pops when I lift my arm...'"
  (Testimony, 84:58) "Someone's eyes instantly cleared up—not Canada, Ontario, Canada—and then someone said they were limping and had pain when they walked. Got up from the sofa to walk, and realized all the pain had left."
  (Testimonies, 94:55)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Restoration of Honor & Miracles

• “Reverence and honor are hosts of miracle power. They're the door greeters that let the miraculous flow into the atmosphere."
  (Nancy Dufresne, 02:57)

On Personal Faith and Hearing from God

• "Faith requires revelation to work. That’s why you have to hear first: what is God saying to you? ... The only part of the Word that will work for you is the part you have respect for.”
  (Nancy Dufresne, 35:54 & 41:33)

Testimony of Healing Related to Hearing & Obedience

• “The miracle you need—you haven’t been there before or you’d already have it. And you need a guide to go where you haven’t been.”
  (Nancy Dufresne, 32:37)

Mary at the Wedding in Cana

• "She turned to the servant and she said, 'Whatsoever He says, do it.' She initiated the miracle by putting a demand on him, saying something."
  (Nancy Dufresne, 38:34)

Naaman’s Story

• “Three things almost tripped him up...the prophet did not come out himself...the location offended him...the ease of the instruction.”
  (Nancy Dufresne, 55:23)

Practical Ministry Moment

• “If you say, 'I can already tell a difference,'...Raise your hand...Turn around and look at how good Jesus is!”
  (Nancy Dufresne, 92:36)

• “You don’t wait and check and see, 'Did it work?' You say, 'Thank God, I’m free.'”
  (Nancy Dufresne, 71:34)

Flow & Tone

Throughout the episode, Pastor Nancy and team maintain a sincere, faith-filled, and occasionally humorous tone (“She decided it was his first miracle. She helped him... Done talking to you. This is a mama with a son. I love the dynamic here.” – 38:34). The focus is continually on Jesus as healer, the Holy Spirit as guide, and corporate and individual responsibility to steward an atmosphere of honor and expectation. The ministry segment is dynamic and participatory, with a strong call to action for both in-person and livestream audiences.

Takeaways

• Miracles are released and multiplied when a culture of honor and expectancy is cultivated.
• Each believer is responsible for both the corporate and personal atmosphere that welcomes or hinders the Holy Spirit.
• Faith requires specific, spirit-led revelation—obedience to whatever God says, even if it defies expectations or simplicity.
• Testimonies and active participation solidify and evidence the reality of the miraculous.
