Date: January 11, 2022
Speaker: Pastor Craig Field
Host: Dufresne Ministries
Length: ~90 minutes

Overview

In this message, Pastor Craig Field shares what he calls "The ABC's to Your Miracle." Drawing from personal experience, scripture, and the mentorship of faith giants, Craig unpacks three foundational steps every believer must take to walk in the miraculous: Agreeing with God's plan, Birthing (praying out) that plan in the Spirit, and Connecting to divinely ordained relationships. Bringing warmth, candor, humor, and a sense of urgency, Pastor Craig both challenges and encourages listeners to stretch their faith and commit to spiritual growth in this era of acceleration.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introduction and Setting the Scene

• Pastor Nancy opens in prayer, emphasizing the importance of following God’s highest flow in every meeting and honoring those God has raised up ([00:00]).
• Pastor Craig expresses gratitude to be among likeminded ministers, describing the Dufresne circle as a “company that clicks,” where people find their right fit in a spiritual family ([04:00]).

2. A: Agree — Come Into Agreement with God’s Plan

• Scripture Reference: Job 22:21 (especially in the Amplified): “Acquaint now yourself with Him, agree with God, and show yourself to be conformed to His will...” ([07:30]).
• Craig explains that God will always stretch us beyond our comfort, calling us to things we feel unqualified for.
  • “If you could figure it all out, then you wouldn’t need Him anyway.” ([11:00])
• The first and vital step to seeing miracles is simply agreeing with God, even when it’s inconvenient, feels impossible, or doesn’t make sense.
• Quote:
  • “The first thing I’m looking for…is I just want your agreement. It’s so simple. But it’s amazing if you watch yourself, how much we don’t agree.” ([17:10])
• Craig recounts moments where spiritual mentors (e.g. Dr. Dufresne, Dad Hagin) had to yield their will and agree with God for the miraculous—often through highlights from their own setbacks.
• Bible Example: The siege of Samaria (2 Kings 6:24–7:2):
  • The king’s officer rejected Elisha’s word and missed the miracle; four lepers, the least likely, became the means of God’s breakthrough ([31:30]).
  • Quote:
    • “If that man had agreed, he would have tasted it. But he didn’t agree and he answered wrong.” ([37:50])
• God doesn’t need our understanding—just our agreement. He will often use unlikely people as the answer, even those who may not even know they’re being used.
• On Angelic Help: God used angels for the lepers’ victory; the end days will see more angelic involvement ([41:00]).

3. B: Birth — Pray Out the Plan

• Scripture Reference: 1 Kings 18:41–46 (Elijah hears the sound of rain, separates himself for prayer while Ahab “eats and drinks”) ([47:00]).
• After agreeing with God, birthing God’s plan through prayer is essential.
  • “If you don’t pray things out, you’re never going to see it come to pass. You can agree, but you’re never going to see it come to pass.” ([51:05])
• Spiritual people make time for prayer, while fleshly people are distracted.
  • “The Spirit person prays. The flesh person parties.” ([49:10])
• Leaders must lead in prayer—not just delegate intercession to others.
  • Quote:
    • “The one that should pray the most is the pastor, not the older lady and the intercessory team. The one that should be blazing the trail in spiritual things is the pastor.” ([1:13:00])
• On Miracles: Miracles follow prayer; Acts 4’s praying birthed Acts 5’s signs ([58:30]). Craig recounts a special anointing to pray for miracles coming upon him and his church ([1:00:00]).
• Don’t despise small beginnings—when God starts a work, celebrate it and speak faith:
  • “Don’t treat what’s precious as common…He’ll start with the little. And when we treat it right, He’ll increase us.” ([1:07:00])
• Bible Example: Elijah values the cloud “the size of a man’s hand” — treats every small move of God as precious and runs with it ([1:07:10]).

4. C: Connect — Honor and Stay Close to Your Divine Supply

• Craig’s Vision: Two sides of a coin: private prayer life and public/divine associations ([1:16:30]).
• Scripture Reference: Luke 1:38–45 (Mary’s response to Gabriel; Mary’s visit to Elizabeth) ([1:22:00]).
• Submit to and value God-ordained relationships; miracles often require being in the right company.
  • “You can’t treat your man of God right in your prayer closet…You got to show up.” ([1:17:50])
• Quote:
  • “There’s always reasons why you can’t come…But there is a revelation that I have to be somewhere.” ([1:22:00])
• Mary acted “with haste” to connect with Elizabeth—an older, spiritually seasoned, miracle-carrying woman ([1:26:30]).
  • “God put her around somebody more spiritually mature, in the ministry, in the same miracle flow…God put things in her when she was around her divine connection.” ([1:30:30])
• Serving your divine connection (as Mary served Elizabeth, as Elisha served Elijah) puts you in position to receive impartations that catapult your calling.
• On Inconvenience and Cost:
  • “Peasants look at what something’s worth. Kings look at the enjoyment.” ([1:20:00])
  • Don’t let expense or inconvenience stop you from being present and connected.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Agreement:
  • “It’s so simple, but it’s so powerful. When you start to say, ‘Father, what you’ve dropped in my heart… I agree.’” ([21:10])
• On Divine Stretching:
  • “If you don’t want to be stretched, don’t join this company.” ([13:45])
• On the Small Cloud:
  • “Don’t treat what’s precious as common… Start praising him for the one, and start… Lord, congregation, look what God’s done. And make much of the little cloud before you’ve even finished your sentence, five more people will be standing at the back of your church.” ([1:09:00])
• On Commitment:
  • [Story about nearly swimming across Niagara to get to the meeting, and using Listerine to pass a COVID test]
    • “Whatever it is, whatever it is, whatever it is… There’s a revelation that I have to be somewhere.” ([1:22:00])
• On Connection:
  • “It’s not the pastor’s job to baby you. It’s your job to show up.” ([1:37:00])
  • If you’re being “rubbed the wrong way,” “turn your little cat body around” ([1:38:15])
