Podcast Summary: Nancy Dufresne | Holy Ghost Meetings 2026 | Sunday AM
Date: January 20, 2026
Host: Dufresne Ministries
Speaker: Pastor Nancy Dufresne
Theme: Living “Through” in Christ—Dominion Over Time, Receiving the Finished Work
Episode Overview
Pastor Nancy Dufresne delivers a faith-charged message to open the 2026 Holy Ghost Meetings. The core theme is living “through” and not “trying to get through”—a focus on the finished work of Christ, our position in Him, and dominion over time and circumstances through faith. Drawing from Colossians 2:9–10, Nancy unpacks how believers already stand in victory and must shift their language, expectation, and perspective from striving toward breakthrough to occupying the completed promises of God, here and now.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Opener: Hospitality, Humor, and the Service Mindset
- Nancy welcomes attendees, expressing gratitude for their travel and presence. She opens in prayer, emphasizing God’s enduring goodness. (00:00)
- Light-hearted banter with “Brother David” and “Richard” about Pentecostal altar services and humorous stories of sneaking car rides as a child highlight the joy and familial atmosphere among ministers. (02:13)
2. Foundation: All the Fullness in Christ (Colossians 2:9)
- Nancy introduces the meeting’s foundational scripture:
“For in Christ there is all of God in a human body… so you have everything when you have Christ.” (05:08) - She clarifies:
“So every other power is a lesser power, and it’s a defeated power. So with every encounter, we always have to remember: when every opposition shows up, you’re lesser, and you’re defeated.” — Nancy (06:47)
- Emphasizes that we are not trying to get to victory; in Christ, we already have it.
3. Rethinking “Breakthrough” and “Getting Through”
- Calls out popular Christian language about “praying through” or “breaking through” as unscriptural.
- Challenges listeners to reject mentalities that put us in striving mode, trying to coerce God or struggle toward victory.
- Notable quote:
“I’m not confessing to get through. I’m confessing that I am through. See the tweaking of this?” — Nancy (09:33)
4. Dominion Over Time: Faith Is “Now”
- Discusses dominion not just over the world but also over time; time exists only on earth, and God created it for us—not to govern us.
- Examples from Jesus’ ministry highlight instant miracles—a demonstration of dominion over the process and passage of time. (10:30)
- Bill Winston’s teaching is referenced:
“God has given us dominion over the work of his hands. And… one of the works of his hands is time.” — Nancy, referencing Bill Winston (09:45)
- Story of a four-year acceleration in ministry fruitfulness illustrates how God fulfills promises outside of human timelines. (14:21)
5. Shifting to the “I Am Through” Mindset
- Urges believers to speak and act from the finished end rather than the process.
- Practical example: paying off debt or healing—faith removes the limits of natural processes.
- Personal testimony of God stating, “I have already seen the end and you have won this,” providing assurance during difficult circumstances. (18:16)
6. Faith Neutralizes the Process of Time
- Explains that faith enables immediate reception of promises; faith is always “now” (Hebrews 11:1).
- Cautions that aligning our expectation with worldly timing re-subjects us to limitations, when in Christ we’re meant to dominate such constraints.
7. The Danger of Fixating on What’s Seen
- “While we look not at the things which are seen…” (2 Cor 4:18) becomes the rallying instruction.
- Looking at lack, symptoms, or temporal circumstances robs us of faith and binds us to time and natural processes. (27:58)
- Mark 11:24 and other scriptures reinforce the principle that faith operates outside of “money” and “means”—the realm of the supernatural.
8. The Power of Words & Conversation
- The language of faith is vital—declare “I am through,” “I am healed,” and “I am provided for”—even before the natural manifests it.
- Encourages family and congregational accountability: correct each other’s words to keep aligned with “now faith” instead of time-based thinking. (39:37)
9. Our “Throughs” Are in Christ (Scripture Compilation)
- Rapid-fire scripture references highlight the proper “throughs”:
- Through righteousness (Rom 5:21)
- Through Christ (1 Cor 15:57)
- Through faith (Gal 3:14, Gal 4:7, Eph 2:8)
- Through the Spirit (Eph 2:22)
- Through His blood (Col 1:14)
- Not through philosophy or mental calculation (Col 2:8)
- Statement:
“If He’s through, I’m through. If He’s on the other side of victory, then you are too.” — Nancy (52:40)
10. Insulting the Cross With “Trying to Break Through”
- Strong encouragement to avoid Old Testament language—since Jesus’ resurrection, “breakthrough” is no longer for the believer; we are already through.
- Our job is to renew our minds to this reality. (53:19)
11. Mind Renewal & the Role of Faith Communities
- Purge negativity from your circle; avoid those who pull you back into process, time, or self-reliance.
- “You owe no one your faith.” — Nancy (61:46)
- Not a call to rudeness, but to guard and prioritize the environment that fosters faith.
12. Walking by God’s Sight, Not Ours
- Reframes faith:
“When we walk by faith, we’re walking by His sight. And I can trust what He has seen.” — Nancy (64:30)
- Transforms faith from blind hope to trust in what God already sees as completed in the spirit.
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
- On Victory:
“I am not trying to get through. I am through. I am through. And when you face a test, that opposition shows up saying, ‘Your ending has already been authored. And I’m not trying to get through. I step into the ending because faith is now.’” — Nancy (18:16)
- On Time:
“If you think it has to take the 30 years to pay it off, then you are now subject to time instead of dominating it.” — Nancy (14:21)
- On Looking:
“When the word says to look not at the things which are seen, it’s disobedience to look—it’s a sin.” — Nancy (36:28)
- On Mind Renewal:
“It’s not love to lay down your faith and be robbed of faith by people who refuse to renew their minds.” — Nancy (62:06)
- On the Faith Walk:
“Faith is not believing God can. Faith is believing God does it for me now. That’s faith.” — Nancy (62:08)
