Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message.

Good morning everyone. Like my wife. Everything that my wife said, I'm supposed to say it. Amen. But it's an honor for me to minister to you this morning. Honor every year that, you know, Pastor Nancy asked me to minister. And you know, when I minister prayer, I live by experiencing this prayer. I mean, but anyway, I remember the time talks about our spiritual parents. I was praying a lot of things I know about my life, our life in ministry is when I was always in prayer. So I was praying and then the Holy Ghost said, when I called your spiritual father and your pastor to move here in California, because faith is an all time low, son, I have you in my mind. I still remember that word he gave me. So we cannot disconnect because it's part of mind. My mind is the will of God. So I began to see that if you're struggling in life, God will connect you to somebody that walk in the will of God, that knows the plan, the purpose and the pursuit of the plan of God in their life. Every believer, ministers and all of us alike. The will of God. When you are in the will of God, you become, you just become an opportunity to many people for your family. And I keep reading those men and women of God with regards to faith, one of them is Rahab. You know, Bible said she's a harlot and she's not even a Jew. No covenant with God. But because of her faith, which is the will of God for her life, her family got. And they are not, you know, they don't have any covenant. But only one got into the will of God. And all her family, her belongings, everything they have, she must have a big house to fill up all her relatives, her loved ones. And come to think of it, we know Rahab became part of the Jewish nation. And I don't know if Joshua knows all the names of the people, people of the Jewish nation at that time, but he knows Rahab. He remind them, you take care of Rahab, you know, right? And she became the lineage of our Lord Jesus Christ. Isn't that amazing? So I saw that the will of God in her life, all her relatives benefited from it. Amen. So that's I remember because of the will of God, of my pastor and my spiritual father's life. Amen. We got connected and opportunities open up. Blessing in their life became our blessing. It's amazing. Praise God. But I noticed too those that are in the will of God, got out of the will of God, became a problem in the church. Have you noticed that? Right? I mean, greatest one is Solomon. I mean, that man. I mean, I mean, we don't have to talk about what God did to him, but in the latter part of his life, he got out of the plan of God because lack of prayer, Lack of prayer and wrong worship. A great man of God. God appeared. I mean, read the story. It's amazing. But he got out of the will of God and the nation of Israel began to get out of the will of God. The nation of Israel became so rich because of what God said to Solomon, I made you rich and all the nation made. So what I'm gonna say is one of the things about prayer, Pastor Nancy made mention about that, about come fellowship with me. I'm just saying this, and, you know, if you're willing and obedient, you're going to taste the good of the land. What I see is a harlot got into faith and God erased everything. She didn't ask forgiveness or anything. She doesn't know about, probably forgiveness. She just had faith. And God accepted, accepted him and got into the covenant. I mean, it's amazing to think, and here we are. We're all born again, better than, I hope none of you is a harlot this morning. But yet God will forget and forget. He will erase because of his wanting for us to be in his presence. I mean, we know we're hungry in his presence. How much more God and praise the Lord. Amen. So, but that's just my introduction. But I began to see in the Word of God, likewise about lack of prayerlessness. And I see the Epistles, especially the Epistles of Paul. He talks about the revelation that God has given to him. In every, every Epistle, there's always he will speak revelation. And in between our prayers, sometimes he starts. The first book will be. First chapter will be prayer and then revelation and then prayer. I mean, and he will talk about revelation that he received from the Lord Jesus Christ, like, for example, the Book of Ephesus. I mean, Ephesians. He said, you are blessed with all spiritual blessings. I mean, in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus. And I mean, we can read some of those revelations. And then after that, cease not to pray for you, making mention of you in my prayers. And I didn't know that because I started praying in 1995 because I'm not really a prayerful person. I don't study much of the Word, but I serve in the local Church. We go to church all the time. We don't lack any word. We have a lot of great teachers in the body of Christ, especially in our fellowship. Don Hagin spearheaded much of it, right? Amen. But yet you can hear things. People getting out of this, getting out of this fellowship, getting out of preaching, faith. The church is casual, all kinds of things happening. I guarantee you it's prayerlessness. Why would a man of God named Dad Hagin, we call them Dad. I got connected with, well, my spiritual father, Dr. He doesn't want me to call him Dr. I'm your dad, okay? Yes, sir. So. And I believe it's prayerlessness. Dad Hagin said, I've been preaching, you know, when he was pastoring, I've been preaching for so many years. And he got hold of that prayer in Ephesians, those efficient prayers, and he began to pray in a few months time, he said, revelation, revelation began to flow. What I'm saying today, we have spent billions and millions, you know, to preach the gospel. But many nations, many churches are falling apart. They're not getting. We spend, I mean, hours, praise God. What's happening? Why are people not really getting it? Prayerlessness. We are not praying effectively. I should say effectively. That's when God dealt with me about prayer. He said. I said, lord, why my life is like this? 1995. I know you bless me in the word, you are a good God. Why my life is like this? We're broke. I mean, manifestation of the devil in our home, all kinds of things. And we go to church, we give our tithes and offerings. I mean, we go to church when it open up, we're there, but yet there's no blessing. And that God began to deal with me about prayer because of my lack of praying, my lack of meditating on the Word. So I don't have any teaching the way many of you do at the time. But whatever I know I began to pray, I set myself in prayer. And I didn't know I have a call in the ministry. I don't know the plan of God for my life. So I made my own plan. And my plan failed. Every plan I have failed. So at that time, I know I needed money, I need to get another opportunity. I said, lord, maybe I can make it up again by myself, by my own hard work, because I'm not lazy to go to work. But I just know, Father, the result, I'm going to be back in this situation, you know, I'm tired of it, you know, Pastor Nancy said, come reason with me. I don't know the scripture. But I started reasoning with him. I said, father, I know you're a good God. You didn't do this to me. I did it to myself. But I don't know what to do. I said, let me know your plan because my plan failed. I know your plan. I don't know all those things. But I was just talking to him like that, you know, I'm desperate, you know, in prayer, I will wake up early morning because I see people, you know, wake up in the morning and pray. And I'm not a morning person, but I did it anyway. I fall asleep sometimes talking to God, you know. You know, and I saw in the Bible, get into your closet, you know, so my closet is our bathroom. You know, we have a master's bed, but it's really small. Bathroom small. I sit on that commode for a long time and I real. I mean, I'm not laughing then, but you can ask my wife in my garden, in the long run, that commode, because there's a hole on it, you know? I said, but I was determined. I'm determined. I didn't know I was perfect. I was heartfelt in my prayer. Nobody taught me all these things. But I was really fervent to know the plan of God, to know his will for my life. Because my will doesn't work. So I got to know his will. And I don't really know how to hear from God. Maybe I'm hearing, I just didn't know. But anyway, I found the stool from my mother in law. So I sat on the stool. This is better. And I will read. Because the only scripture I know is meditate on the Word day and night. You will make your way prosperous. You will have good success. And I want prosperity now and success now. Because everything is falling apart, you know. I said, lord, there's no shortcut to success. Your success and your prosperity. I got to meditate. So I don't know about meditation. The only thing I know about it is read. Which I don't like to do everything that God likes. I don't. So I got to join him. If you cannot beat somebody, you join him. You know, I learned that from watching Bugs Bunny. Yeah, really. So, okay, Lord, so I started talking to God. And I'm supposed to pray for my need. I got so many need by the time I know it. I got so much in his presence, I forgot about asking for the need. I began. So I didn't know that there started a stirring in me. The Holy Ghost began to work in my inside that I never experienced before. Because of now, I learned it's a lack of faith in me because lack of the word, lack of prayer. But when I began to pray, things began to stir my spirit. I didn't know all the scripture, but I just know. So I began to. I'm determined I'm going to prosper. If I read and finish from Genesis to Revelation. I was determined to finish it. I don't know how many times I will do it till I will prosper, because that's all I know about it, you know? But I got hung up because God began to talk to me through his word that I've never experienced before. And then after 30 days of doing that, day in, day out, wake up, read the Bible, fall asleep while reading it. I wake up and continue to read. I was determined to know the plan of God. You know, I was determined. That's where I learned that my prayerlessness got me in trouble. Even though I go to church, I don't get benefit of what the pastor was preaching. I don't pray for Baptist. The former pastor we have. Amen. That's why I don't complain if they don't get any revelation from God. They don't get anything. Oh, I don't get anything to whatever they're preaching. It's because, you know, many blame pastors leave the church, go to something, another church, and they still don't get it. They didn't know they lack fellowship with God. Because if you lack faith, if you have fellowship with God, you will honor men, you will honor all men. You will have honor in your life. Amen. God told me, because, you know, there's many different ministers start to come, Brother Copeland and all of them, Reverend Jesse Duplantis. And God said to me, because they are new to our fellowship. And God said, son, honor all men. I said, that's in the Bible somewhere. And I found it. It's in the book of Peter. Honor all men. And son, pray your prayer life, your prayer for them, that's your honor. That's how you bring honor to all these men and women. If you pray for them, that's honor in your part. Pray for you. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God forevermore. So I saw that everyone that walk in the will of God, they are blessing. Pastor just made mention about that woman who perceived a man of God who is in the will of God. Elisha got the double portion of the anointing right. It is her opportunity. Cannot have a baby. Got a baby. Famine came, but she Got everything back. It was an open book. What do you want? What? She got connected to the will of God. Now she became the will of God. The will of God in her life. Amen. Praise God. So every one of us here, God has a will for all of us. All of us. Some of you can be rahab. That your household will change. Amen. You might be that called to be a famous minister. Like famous Amos Ramos, the cookie. Hallelujah. You may not stand in this pulpit. It might not be the will of God for you, but there is a will of God for you. And you will be a great opportunity to many people. You will be a great blessing to many people. You know how we got the blessing today? A man named Abraham. Got the will of God. Got into the will of God, learned what the will of God is, made mistakes. Yet he stayed in the plan of God. And God called him faithful Abraham. But you know the story, right? He's not faithful in many ways, it looks like. But he's faithful in the will of God for his life. And he became a father of many nations. Isn't that amazing? Hallelujah. But anyway, praise God. So let's look at first and see. Anyway, after a month's prayer, the Holy Ghost said, lord, because you know, I'm getting tired of sitting in that commode in that. I said to the Lord, I'm getting tired of getting into that closet. I was talking to God. You know what yout will for me, what's yout plan for me? I said, let me know. I do whatever your want me to do. Just take care of my household. That's all I ask. I did everything to take care of them. I failed so many times. So you take care. I didn't know that's a prayer. Casting your care to him. I didn't know that. That's why one day, son, you're not the provider for your family. You are not the father of your household. I am. Why don't you cast your care to me so I can be a father? So I thought, being a father is just. He'll take care of our bills. Oh, come on. I didn't know what's on his mind. That's what he said. Take no thought for your life. What you're going to eat, what you're going to wear, right? Seek you first meaning to say your mind. He's talking about the mind there, right? Bring your mind to your heart, right? Amen. And he said, all these things will be added to you. So I was thinking, oh, if sick first, all these things will be added. He said, son, no. What's on my mind? Study it. Read it again. The Father knoweth what you need. Before you ask him. What I know, I will reveal to you. I will add all those things so you can put your faith to it. And then I will manifest it. Oh, so that's how it works. Yes. You seek me first. You talk to me first. Amen. You fellowship with me first. Amen. And I will add what's on my mind for you. You only think a hundred. I think a hundred thousand. You think of payment for your rent. I think about owning your own home. See, he revealed to you what he knows about your life. So that's what he told me. So I said, that's the deal. So I said, lord, what do you want me to do? I said, you preach. You will preach. You will have a call in the ministry. He didn't say, in the ministry. He said, you're called to preach. I want you to preach. I said, no, Lord. And I was gung ho, you know, do whatever you want, say whatever you want me to say, but not just that. So you see, my natural mind. I barely can speak English, you know? And I will stand in front of you all. And, you know, you get scared. You get nervous. And many times I get into that pulpit, he renewed my mind. Help me. I get hesitant, you know, preach in front of my pastor, freezing front of all of you. And God said to me one time, son, it's my will for you to be in that pulpit. You have to be joyful. You have to enjoy my will. Okay, Lord, from that day on, all the things lifted. Amen. What people say about my accent. Hey, praise the Lord. I didn't know that Reverend Smith Wigglesworth has more a bad accent than me. Amen. So I said, I was thinking, I'm gonna go Bible school. I'm gonna go to school. I don't like going to school. I said that before. My wife said, quit saying that. Now we're teaching in school. The man that don't want to go to school, become a teacher in the school. What a will of God, right? So, okay, Lord. And then I don't really see vision, but that when I said no to God, it got quiet. He stopped talking, so. And then I saw vision. People going to hell. I don't really see things, but that day I saw. I already saw it. I said, lord, I said, lord, I'm going to preach. I'm going to preach. And the mission stopped right away. And he began to talk to me more again. And then not long after that, a few months after that, we met Dr. Dufresne, Pastor Nancy. Because we needed a teacher. We needed a spiritual parents. Do we need spiritual father or spiritual mother, what you call it? Yes. If Abraham needed Melchizedek.
A
Yeah.
B
See, I learned this, that if I fellowship with God, I always get something. I always get impartation. Because that's how he is. Amen. When you fellowship with God, you just don't give me. Give me this. If you fellowship with him. Amen. What he has for you from him, he'll impart it to you. How do you know that? The creation. When he created Adam. Remember? When created man. Let us make man. Let us. Let us. So it's a covenant between the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost to create man. Right? Let us. And they created him like he is a spirit being. And then as a spirit being, no brain yet. He cannot reason with God because he doesn't have a brain to reason yet. Because he doesn't have a body to house the brain. The brain house the mind, the soul. He doesn't have that yet. He's just a spirit being. And in being a spirit being, God imparted dominion. God imparted his dominion to man, the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost. And he imparted his blessing. And all the spirit being of Adam just keep receiving. We call it faith. But really, he just keep receiving. He keep imparting his dominion. Amen. His blessing as a spirit being. He didn't say, no, I don't like it. No, he doesn't have any reason. He cannot reason because he doesn't have a brain yet. That's in chapter two. When God created his body to house his soul. So I learned that I can separate and I can just be a spirit being and receive from God. He imparted. I said, whoa, it's still the same today. So if I fellowship with him like pastor said, I can. Amen. Come reason with me. Amen. I always receive something. I always receive impartation from him personally. Amen. And then I began to study the life of Abraham. Because we're connected to his blessings, right? And he is the same to Abraham. He will show to Abraham I am. And he will introduce himself to Abraham. I am the almighty God. And he will impart his plan to Abraham. He will impart his word. He will impart blessing. Amen. He will impart himself to Abraham. And then here comes his spiritual father, Melchizedek. So we got two. We got God, we got our Spiritual parents. Remember Melchizedek, a man of God. Remember? And he fellowshiped with Melchizedek right in front of all those dudes, you know? Right? And he gave tithes all, all his tithes to a man of God. And he is the king of Salem, Jerusalem. So I was thinking Abraham came from the Ur of Chaldees. That's in Iraq. He traveled and God move him to that place. But Melchizedek is already in that place. And God moved him. Amen. To that land. Well, his spiritual father is already there. So he probably learned a lot from Melchizedek. We don't know. I don't know where he learned how to tithe. Right? But Melchizedek, right. As he fellowshiped with Melchizedek and honor him. Right? Melchizedek impart the most high God that was on him and imparted, blessed be Abraham. He blessed Abraham impartation. So he can receive impartation from God as a fellowship with God. And he can receive impartation from his spiritual father as his fellowship with his spiritual father. Amen. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. How did Abraham got all those in time of his prayer and fellowship with God. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God. Hallelujah. And in the book of Corinthians, God, you know Corinthians. How you say it, Pastor? Is that correct? Yeah, I have the right pronunciation. I'm getting better when I'm in the anointing Holy Ghost, I gotta help. I need his help. Right? He said, come out from among them so I can be a father to you, said the Almighty. Whoa. He's God to Abraham, but his father to me and to you. The same God that said nothing too hard for me. I'll take care of you. He can multiply when there's no nothing. He can create fish when there's no fish. And we are invited by him. Come. I like what Pastor Nancy said. God will come down to the garden. But in our time, we come up because we're seated. We're seated with him. We call it in the spirit. Oh, in the spirit. We come up. We come up that the devil cannot follow. When we come up, he goes low. How do we do that? The avenue of prayer. Come boldly in the throne of grace so we can obtain mercy and grace in the time of what need we come up? Amen. Oh. Glory. Hallelujah. Oh, my God. Glory. Wow. Praise the Lord. I'm just giving all these nuggets. Whatever. How do you. How do you do that. You just said, Father. You don't have to feel any goosebumps. Amen, Father. Not only the Father is listening. All the angels, maybe they're worshiping in heaven. Hey, quiet, everybody. My child is talking to me. I need to hear what they have to say. And then he will speak back by revelation. So prayerlessness will cause you not to understand who you are in Christ, not to walk in the blessing that God already blessed you with. Amen. Hallelujah. I was not perfect, but I was just so hungry for the will of God because I love my children, I love my family. Because, you know, I was. My mom and my dad separated when I was 11. And I promised myself it will never happen to my family. But it seems like we're going in the same direction. I got scared. And I know I don't have Mama and Papa, that I can come. And I don't have anything. I need money. I don't have anybody to go. Can I borrow money from you? This. I don't have an option. I don't have anybody. Even my relative, they're not far from me, but they're all hurting too. Their life is not getting into a good direction. So I don't have motion but God. Amen. Thank God. I don't have any option. There are some. They don't pray because parents got money. All this got money. They don't have to spend time worshiping God because somebody will fund them for the meantime. I don't have any funding. If I go bankrupt, my family go bankrupt. I gotta learn prayer. Amen. Every time I pray, I get blessed. So I got me a clue. They got me a clue. So I began to study about especially the epistles, the life of Paul. Because that's where the promises of God for us. I've seen men mightily use of God die premature. I seen men, you know, it's not gossip. We can see it preaching the gospel, the truth of the word. And suddenly they switch to a wrong direction. And then been ministering for many years. What happened? And I learned it's prayerlessness. Because Paul said whenever he has revelation for the church, he says it's not to pray for you. He will speak the revelation. He will speak all this inheritance, what we receive in Christ is we study it in Ephesians 1, you see, he will speak. And let's go there a little bit so you can see it. Amen. I know I'm learning. Maybe you do. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. Thank God. Praise God. So here, look at this in Ephesians this is just efficient. Amen. We can go to Colossians. It's the same way. When I heard of your faith in Christ, and they're doing really good, your love for God, your love for the brethren. And Paul said, I cease not to pray for you. Amen. That they will receive what? The revelation. Amen. That he received from God. Prayer is always connected because you can backslid because lack of prayer. Amen. Praise God. So here in the book of Ephesians. Let's see here. Right? Ephesians. Let me go here real quick. And that's why I learned how to pray all these prayers. I learned it from dad Hagin, from my pastor. I started praying the way they prayed, the way Paul prayed. He always say, praying always. So I'll have to learn how to pray always. And God told me, anything that I said in my word that you have to do always be skillful to it. Yes, learn how to do it, because you have to do it always. Okay, Lord. That's the way I understand it. He taught me how to rejoice. Because he said, rejoice always. So I asked him. He taught me how to rejoice. He made it easy for me to learn. Amen. Now just a push button of joy in me. I. Joy. I mean, they said it's revival. I must have revival all the time, because I enjoy all the time. I didn't know Smith Wigglesworth do it, you know, Hallelujah. I didn't know I'm gonna be dancing public sometimes. I learned it from responding to him. When I study. I was studying the Word, and Revelation began. He would start talking to me through that Word, and he'll tell me, son, son, son, get up. Get up and dance in my bedroom. See if I cannot do it in my bedroom, you cannot do it in your bedroom, you know, Hallelujah. Praise God. So I get up, start dancing, and then I'm enjoying the dance, you know, the anointing. Whoa. The glory. Sit down. Okay, Lord, I sit down and read again, you know, and he said. He spoke it to me again. Revelation again. He said, son, get up and dance. So I get up and dance. I didn't know. He's teaching me how to yield. He teaches me how to yield to the Holy Ghost. Amen. You cannot take it away from me. I don't care if they say, there's no more Holy Ghost in our churches today. You know, you might scare people or. I don't care. I scared them. They cannot take my joy from me. I get blessed, I get Their revelation. Well, you might offend people if you say that you lack prayer. You lack prayer because that's the flow, Pastor Nancy. That's the flow of the kingdom of God. Righteousness, righteousness, peace, enjoying the Holy Ghost. If you reject joy, you reject righteousness. If you reject joy, you reject peace. If you reject joy, you reject the flow of the kingdom. Period. And if you argue with me, why don't you pray? Why would I get revelation? You don't. I know if I don't pray, I don't get revelation. That's what he told me. He said, son, pray in the Holy Ghost. Okay, I can do it. Because, you know, we're taught how to pray in the spirit. Now, son, instead of praying in tongues, okay? Joy in tongues. Because I can understand what he was saying. Joy in tongues. Okay. Ahaha. Don't speak in tongues. Joy in tongues. Okay. Hahaha. So I pray in the Holy Ghost again. I noticed there's something rising up in me. You know, go, let it flow. Let it flow. Yeah. I said, yeah. I don't do that anymore. Amen. Praise God. And he even taught me, you know, when I'm new to this, I said, put your hand in your belly. See that movement? Oh, yes, yes. That's me in you. That's my movement in your spirit. So he taught me how to yield. He taught me how to learn the movement of the Holy Ghost in my spirit. The presence of God, pastor. Whoo. Glory. Why would I give it up? Oh, my God. What is that? That's prayer. Part of your prayer life. He said, in my presence, there's fullness of jo. That's just one of the flow. Sometimes I cannot take it, that flow, you know, I grab it, start dancing. I gotta do something. Wow. Then I start hearing from God. Why? Because my spirit became strong. Strong spirit, strong faith. I heard that from. Amen. What is faith? We know faith comes by hearing. Really? Faith is hearing the will of God for your life. And if you hear the will of God and you act on the will of God because your spirit is strong, you have the boldness to act because faith without work is dead. The devil doesn't care if you have faith, but if it has no work, it's dead. It's dead. Hallelujah. You've been quickened. That's what God told me. You see, son? You've been quickened. Yes, Lord. You quickened. Yes. You see dead people, son? Yeah. You kick dead people. They won't respond. He taught me all these things. Yeah, you're right. You Kick them, slap them over and over. They're dead. He said, son, if you cannot dance, if you cannot join, you're dead. If you cannot respond to my spirit, you're dead. But I have quickened you. You're not dead any longer the one that will criticize you. They're dead, but you're not dead. You're alive. When I say dance, you dance. Right? Pastor Amy. Run, right? That's what he said to you. Run. You just got your new house. It's so easy to get a house. All you did is run. And he gave you the word. The word is enough. Yeah. Prayer. Prayer. Hallelujah. Prayer. Yeah. But when you joy, listen to your spirit, the Holy Ghost will start speaking to you. The will of God. You just don't know all the complications in life. One word. The devil always complicated things. But God doesn't complicate. God always easy. How easy it is to run, right? Even though you're out of shape. I run. I like Elijah. He ran because of fear. He also ran because of faith. The other one didn't do him any good. But this man made a mistake. All this man, I watch all these men that have faults and how come God just blessed him? Because they just respond to the will of God and everything. They said yes to the will of God. Every. All this, their mistake, forgiven, forgotten. I didn't see Elijah really ask forgiveness for what he did, but he went to that cave, right? And listen with still small voice, right. I'm just amazed about the will of God in your life. Amen. Learning something. We learn about joy. Have you noticed you can joy? Have you noticed you're not dead? I noticed none of you are dead. Because you guys respond people that they're dead, man. Hallelujah. They're dead. You can do anything to dead people. Leave them alone. They're dead. They criticize you. I don't know why those dead people criticize. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Amen. You're learning something. And now this is true, what I'm teaching you. Because this is prayer. It's part of your prayer life. You just don't laugh at the problem. You joy till you hear. Because when you joy, your spirit becomes strong. Paul said that that God has given to him the revelation of the gospel in Ephesians, chapter three. And he said, I bow my knees unto the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. After he said that the mystery of the gospel was given to him, he started praying so that the mystery that he preached because he got revelation. But that doesn't mean it equals the revelation to the congregation, to the people. So he prayed for the people that Christ. Amen. Right. That the Spirit of God was strengthened with might. Bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. That he will grant you according to the riches of his glory, that he will strengthen you with might. Amen. That's all about the Holy Ghost, the glory, the might. Amen. So through prayer, it give permission to the Holy Ghost to strengthen your spirit. And then the outcome of it is that Christ may dwell in your hearts. By faith you will get it, you will receive it. You will know who you are in Christ. You will know the revelation that God has given to Paul. Amen. If you pray those prayers right, hallelujah. And I've seen that he will give revelation and then he will pray. It's always connected. Prayer is all over the place in the scripture. I see it when I'm reading it. I see it. Jesus, you know, praise God. Break down the middle wall of partition. That's prayer. So that we can come, we can pray. He took boundaries. Because in the old time they have boundaries. Only few can come. If the presence of God is in the mountain, they cannot go near the mountain. If not, they're dead meat. But Jesus, break that wall of partition. Oh my God. But anyway, praise the Lord. Praise God. Read it. It's all in the book. It's not new to us. Why is that? We're not getting it. We have all these conferences, right? Our people, the congregation. We got so many great teachers, but yet you can see very few getting it. Because lack of prayer. So that's what we do with our pastor. She has the jth. It's all over the world now. We're receiving testimony. I've been listening to Pastor Nancy. I'm sick for a long time. Many years now I'm healed. Amen. I got this old worry problem. Now I'm free. They're getting it. They're getting it, folks. As Pastor Nancy was ministering. Father, we pray. We pray for all those people, Father. Give them the spirit of wisdom, revelation in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, so that whatever pastors ministry will get into their spirit. They might not know how to pray, but you know how to pray. Give them a chance. Give them opportunity through your prayer. And then they started getting it. Amen. We are in these last days, even the elect will be deceived, but not us. Because we will pray. We will not get deceived. There's gonna be a great flow of the Word and Spirit. In our churches, we will pray. Amen. Hallelujah. Yeah. We will pray. Yeah. Out of your belly. Out of your belly. Jesus said, out of your innermost being flow what? Rivers of living water. And in the book of Acts, that living water is the utterance given by the Spirit. The utterance that living water are utterances that come out of your spirit, given by the Holy Spirit to you. Amen. Living waters so that we will not be dry. There's always a flow of that life. That's a living water coming out of your innermost being, given to you by the Holy Ghost. You lift up one person, you lift up. Pray efficient prayers. Pray in the Holy Ghost. Do whatever it takes. Amen. Hallelujah. Let that river flow. Let the innermost be. Innermost be. Oh, diatra. That's a river of life. That's a river of life. It'll change, you know, when river comes and flow in a certain land, it will change. It will change the condition. It will change the atmosphere of that land because a river went. He even said, I will make a river in the desert. Hallelujah. Praise God. Yeah. While it's dry in our church, then make a river. Let the river flow with you. We're going to pray. We will pray. We will change the way we live. We will change the way in our car. We're going to pray. There will be no prayerlessness in our churches, in our life, in our family. We're going to let the river flow from within us. The life of God. The utterance given by the Spirit. He said, that's the river of life. Let's do that right. We got the joy, so we're not dead. Let's all pray in the spirit from our innermost being. Yes. Yes, Lord. Oh, yes, Lord. Utterance for pastor even tonight, utterance, divine utterance, and the boldness to speak those utterances as she ought to speak. Oh. Every pastor, every minister. Oh. Aha, Father. Oh. Oh. Utterances for them I pray. And the people will receive it with gladness. Yaku. Oh, glory. Oh, glory. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, father. Yeah. Yes, father. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my. Oh, my. Hallelujah. Oh, yes, Father. Yes, Father. Oh, yes. Oh, yes, Father. Yes. Great miracles, healings, the revelation of your word. Ah, well. Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, Lord, to the least and to the greatest. They will understand. They will receive your word. They will receive the revelation of who they are in Christ. And the plan, the specific plan for all of them that they may walk on the paths that you have prepared for all of us. Thank you. Hallelujah. Amen. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah.

Podcast: Dufresne Ministries Podcast
Host: Dufresne Ministries
Speaker: Noel Ramos
Date: April 11, 2024
Episode: No More Prayerlessness | Prayer Conference 2024 | Wednesday AM
In this inspirational episode, guest speaker Noel Ramos addresses the profound and practical importance of prayer in the life of every believer. Drawing from personal experience and scriptural examples, Ramos explores how prayer connects us to God’s will, opens doors to revelation, and ignites true blessing and transformation in individuals, families, and churches. The message is both a heartfelt testimony and a passionate teaching, focused on eradicating “prayerlessness” and entering into life-changing fellowship with God.
Connection to the Will of God:
Ramos recounts how being in the will of God through prayer caused blessings and opportunities to open up not just for himself, but for his family and others connected to him. He explains that when believers align with God's will, their households and communities are affected.
The Dangers of Prayerlessness:
Citing biblical figures like Solomon, Ramos warns of how great men of faith faltered due to lack of prayer and intimacy with God. He calls prayerlessness the unseen root of spiritual backsliding in churches and ministries.
“Solomon got out of the plan of God because of lack of prayer and wrong worship... The nation of Israel began to get out of the will of God.” — Noel Ramos (07:25)
Personal Testimony of Breakthrough:
Ramos shares his own struggle with lack of direction, financial hardship, and spiritual dryness despite regular church attendance and serving, revealing that it was earnest, consistent prayer and seeking God's plan that turned things around.
Learning to Hear and Move With God:
Ramos humorously and humbly describes his makeshift prayer closet (his bathroom), and how daily persistence and raw honesty with God led to real spiritual change—even before he fully understood the theology of prayer.
“I was determined. I'm determined. I didn't know I was perfect. I was heartfelt in my prayer. Nobody taught me all these things. But I was really fervent to know the plan of God, to know his will for my life. Because my will doesn't work.” — Noel Ramos (13:50)
Intertwining of Revelation & Prayer in the Epistles:
Ramos observes that Paul’s letters always pair revelation with prayer—divine truths are delivered, followed by earnest supplication that the church would comprehend and receive them (especially referencing Ephesians and Colossians).
“Prayer is always connected because you can backslid because lack of prayer... That’s why I learned how to pray all these prayers. I learned it from Dad Hagin, from my pastor.” (40:45–43:00)
Prayer Honors Others and Activates Blessing:
Ramos references God’s command to “honor all men” (1 Peter), teaching that prayer for pastors, leaders, and fellow believers is a form of honor and opens the door to further blessing and impartation.
Fellowship With God Yields Impartation:
Drawing from Genesis (“let us make man”), Ramos unpacks how prayer and fellowship with God allow believers to continually receive impartation, dominion, and revelation just as Adam and Abraham did.
Spiritual Parentage:
Ramos highlights the biblical precedent and practical need for “spiritual parents” (mentors, pastors). Just as Abraham needed Melchizedek, believers are strengthened and guided in God’s will through spiritual relationships.
Learning to Respond to the Spirit:
Ramos shares personal stories of learning to “yield” to the Holy Ghost—even dancing in his room when prompted during prayer. He insists that joy is an essential sign of spiritual life and a vital part of prayer.
Practical Approaches to Spiritual Strength:
He relates how responding to God in joy (including laughter or dance) strengthens the spirit, opens the heart to revelation, and builds faith that moves into action.
Invitation to Boldness in Prayer:
Through Christ, believers are now welcome to boldly approach God—no more barriers, no more exclusive access for the few. Ramos urges everyone to respond to this privilege.
Letting the River Flow – Prayer for the Church:
Ramos passionately encourages the church to let the river of the Spirit flow through prayer—changing spiritual atmospheres, bringing revival, miracles, revelation, and lasting transformation.
On the Consequences of Prayerlessness:
“Many blame pastors, leave the church, go to something—another church, and they still don't get it. They didn't know they lack fellowship with God.” — Noel Ramos (17:50)
On Yielding to Joy in Prayer:
“He teaches me how to yield to the Holy Ghost. Amen. You cannot take it away from me. I don't care if they say, there's no more Holy Ghost in our churches today... They cannot take my joy from me.” (47:05)
On Spiritual Impartation:
“If you fellowship with God, you always get something. I always get impartation. Because that's how he is.” (23:40)
On Stepping Into God’s Calling Despite Fear:
“He said, you preach. You will preach. You will have a call in the ministry... My natural mind—I barely can speak English, you know?... God said to me one time, son, it's my will for you to be in that pulpit. You have to be joyful. You have to enjoy my will.” (27:00)
On Changing Spiritual Atmospheres Through Prayer:
“Let the river flow with you. We're going to pray. We will pray. We will change the way we live. ...There will be no prayerlessness in our churches, in our life, in our family.” (55:30)
Noel Ramos’ message is a vibrant call to leave behind prayerlessness and step into dynamic, continual fellowship with God. Through real-life testimony, scriptural examples, and spiritual encouragement, he demonstrates that prayer is not optional—it’s the channel by which we receive God’s will, experience transformation, and become agents of blessing in the world. The final moments are marked by collective prayer, stirring listeners to let the “river” of God’s Spirit flow through their lives and churches, ensuring prayerlessness is forever left behind.
