Dufresne Ministries Podcast

Holy Ghost Meetings 2026 | Thursday PM

Speaker: Pastor Nancy Dufresne
Date: January 20, 2026

Episode Overview

This powerful episode centers on “Healing and Deliverance for Fools,” illuminating God’s mercy, forgiveness, and never-failing willingness to restore His people, even when they’ve made mistakes or “played the fool.” Pastor Nancy Dufresne exhorts the congregation to resist the devil’s accusations, embrace their righteousness in Christ, and receive healing and deliverance through faith in God’s Word. The session also includes a series of healing lines where various pastors minister to specific needs, confirming God's presence and the operation of the Holy Spirit.

Key Themes and Insights

1. The Accusations of the Enemy & Our Righteousness in Christ

• The Devil as the "Accuser":

  • Pastor Nancy opens by establishing Satan’s strategy as the “accuser of the brethren,” always trying to identify believers by their past failures, weaknesses, or sins.

    "He will accuse you with your faults, your failures, your weaknesses, your sins, your missed steps. And he intends to harass you with that." – Nancy Dufresne (02:04)

• Breaking Agreement with Accusation:

  • Reminds listeners that their identity is in Christ, not their past; the "old man" is dead and they must "put on" the new man.

    "We are now righteous. We are right with God. And we're not right with God because we've done everything right. We're right with God because Jesus did everything right." (04:10)

  • Faith is strengthened by developing skill in talking about (and meditating on) righteousness.

• Letting Go of Sin Consciousness:

  • Persistent feelings of guilt or shame (sin consciousness) hinder faith and rob believers of God’s best.
  • We don't "earn" anything from God by behavior; rather, our behavior is elevated by our new identity in Christ.

2. Psalm 107 – Healing and Deliverance for Fools

• Scriptural Foundation:

  • Focuses on Psalm 107, highlighting verses 17–20 ("He sent His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions").

    "Fools, because of their transgression and because of their iniquities, are afflicted... They draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble... and he saveth them." (09:55–13:00)

• Application:

  • God does not abandon those who have made foolish choices or missed opportunities; His mercy is extended when we cry out and repent.

    "If you act like you weren't the fool, you're playing the fool. But if you will acknowledge I did it wrong... God runs to assist anybody who will take responsibility." (15:40)

  • Repentance is a privilege and a sign of strength, not weakness.

• Testimonies:

  • Includes a live testimony from Ms. Tiffany and Pastor Debbie on healing after fear and condemnation led to near-death, illustrating the enemy’s tactic of using condemnation to prevent receiving God’s mercy. (19:50–23:00)

3. Repentance, Restoration, and Rejoicing

• The Right Way to Respond:

  • True repentance brings immediate access to God’s healing and deliverance, as shown in the parable of the Prodigal Son.

    "When you turn and repent, I want you to know everything that was ever yours in Christ is still yours in Christ." (31:35)

• Celebrating God’s Goodness:

  • Instead of rehearsing failures, believers are exhorted to rehearse testimonies of God’s mercy and deliverance.

    "It's not a rehearsing of where you missed it, but it's a rehearsing of how he sent his word and healed you and delivered you." (25:28)

• Reframing Weakness:

  • God rewards sincere repentance with restoration, not shame.

    "Repentance gets rewarded, because when you messed up, you need help more than ever. And God is so ready to help you." (29:15)

4. Overcoming Condemnation

• Scriptural Assurance:

  • Points to Romans 8:1 ("There is now no condemnation awaiting those who belong to Christ Jesus") as a timeline—condemnation ends now.

    "God puts a timeline to the end of condemnation. Right now. Right now. Right now. It ends right now." (38:57)

• Personal Illustrations:

  • Pastor Nancy shares about her husband’s after-service struggle with accusation and God’s vision showing the blood of Jesus makes it as though mistakes never happened. (52:35)

• Forgiveness of Self:

  • Unforgiveness toward oneself can block faith and healing.

    "Learn to forgive yourself. Don't be flippant at wrongdoing... but your health is not a worthy exchange for unforgiveness." (43:48)
