Congregation Member
Hallelujah.
Ed Dufresne
Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. I have been so blessed in these meetings and.
Debbie Dufresne
All that.
Ed Dufresne
Pastor Debbie. Debbie. Pastor Debbie, thank you for coming. Thank you for ministering. And of course, Sister Lindsay Roberts. What a blessing. And precious, precious woman. Yes.
Debbie Dufresne
Amen.
Ed Dufresne
They had to go back home because Brother Richard leaves in the morning for overseas. And we're just so grateful that they. They came this direction for us. Amen. God said to me just a couple of weeks ago, he said, it's time for miracles. And as I said on Tuesday night, it's always been time for miracles. He's not stating something that he hasn't always been endeavoring to work, but he states it so that we will know what he's looking for us to give ourselves to so that we can become skillful in this and so that we can cooperate with him during this time of what he's wanting to emphasize for us.
Debbie Dufresne
So.
Ed Dufresne
He, I think it was Sister Linda Turner said this to the Bible school students. Help me in the wording or something to the effect God put something in or says something to you, then watches to see what you're going to do with what he said. Is that correct? Exodus 3.
Debbie Dufresne
Sister, I was getting ready to read.
Ed Dufresne
That passage even, hey, we will.
Debbie Dufresne
I'm glad to know.
Ed Dufresne
But listen to the wording that she gave. God says something, then waits to see what are we going to do about it. And so much of the Christian world is waiting for what God says and.
Debbie Dufresne
Then what God's going to do. And God does what we do. Now, the religious world twists over a statement like that, but the truth of.
Ed Dufresne
The matter is God goes where faith puts him.
Debbie Dufresne
And when we operate in faith in a certain arena.
Ed Dufresne
God always manifests himself in the face of Faith. Amen. Exodus 3 that she's referring to. In verse one, it says this. Now, Moses kept the flock of Jethro.
Debbie Dufresne
His father in law, the priest of Midian.
Ed Dufresne
So notice this. He's a spiritual man, and his father.
Debbie Dufresne
In law, Jethro is.
Ed Dufresne
And it says, and Moses led the flock to the backside of the desert.
Debbie Dufresne
And came to the mountain of God.
Ed Dufresne
And in verse two, and the angel.
Debbie Dufresne
Of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the.
Ed Dufresne
Midst of a bush.
Debbie Dufresne
And he looked, and behold, the bush.
Ed Dufresne
Burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. In verse three, and Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
Debbie Dufresne
And when the Lord saw that, he turned aside to see God called unto.
Ed Dufresne
Him out of the midst of the bush. Verse three is so important. Moses said, I will now turn aside. Look at the next one and see. Notice this, that Moses had to make a step away from daily life. What was daily life? He was tending to the sheep. He was there for the reason of tending to the sheep. But a movement of God caught his attention. And he said, you don't hear anything else about the sheep in this passage. Why? Because he turned aside from what was natural.
Debbie Dufresne
That's what we've done in these three days.
Ed Dufresne
We've come aside from what is natural.
Debbie Dufresne
To see what has God got to say to us? What is he showing?
Ed Dufresne
What is he saying? And it says in verse four, and.
Debbie Dufresne
When the Lord saw that, he turned.
Ed Dufresne
Aside to see God is waiting for people who are interested enough to know what he has to show. And when he said, it's time for miracles, now he's waiting for who will turn aside to that. And that's why we started on Tuesday night talking about what we did, about the flow of miracles, about the power of God and how to cooperate with the power of God. And we were talking about gaining skills with the power of God. I love something that Brother Richard Roberts said the first time he came to our. Came to the church. And he quoted his dad and said that Brother Oral Roberts said, every day miracles are coming to you or going past you every day.
Debbie Dufresne
So what determines whether they stop with you or go past you, whether or.
Ed Dufresne
Not you turn aside to see.
Debbie Dufresne
Amen.
Ed Dufresne
If you are going to set aside. If we're going to set aside the ordinary and the unimportant so that we can see what he's wanting to do and how do we get that miracle Power to stop with us and not bypass us as blind Bartimaeus did Jesus on that road? Blind Bartimaeus was just on the side of the road and he heard that Jesus was passing that way. Notice he couldn't see it. He could just hear report.
Debbie Dufresne
And what did he do?
Ed Dufresne
He started calling. And he was so loud that he of course the people around him were aggravated at his volume.
Debbie Dufresne
But a blind man can't see how much volume he needs. So because he cannot see see the Jesus proximity, he wants to make sure he's heard.
Ed Dufresne
He didn't know if Jesus was 3ft.
Debbie Dufresne
Away, 20ft away, he didn't know. So he gave awe.
Ed Dufresne
And it so irritated those around him. And I've said this before, of course.
Debbie Dufresne
They told him to be quiet, but don't let people who aren't calling tell you to quit calling. If they would have been calling themselves, they wouldn't have even heard. The only reason they heard him and were irritated because they weren't calling. And when they weren't doing it, they.
Ed Dufresne
Didn'T like others that were doing it because they thought it unnecessary.
Debbie Dufresne
But the one with the need knows.
Ed Dufresne
Only God can do this for me.
Debbie Dufresne
And Jesus was not headed to. He was not en route just to go to blind Bartimaeus. Blind Bartimaeus faith arrested.
Ed Dufresne
Jesus stopped him.
Debbie Dufresne
What's that mean? God goes where faith puts him. If blind Bartimaeus would have been silent, Jesus would have kept walking by because it was blind Bartimaeus faith that put.
Ed Dufresne
Him there to stop on his progress.
Debbie Dufresne
On his journey, just for him. So what's that mean? If miracle power is always moving and flowing, what's going to cause it to stop?
Ed Dufresne
Stop with us, what we're calling for, what we're saying.
Debbie Dufresne
And it's not just a moment of calling, it's a lifestyle. Amen. Every day miracles belong to us. And sometimes people think because it's not.
Ed Dufresne
Spectacular, it's not a miracle. If it's supernatural, it's a miracle.
Debbie Dufresne
Meaning this. If $10 came to you that you didn't earn or work for, that's a miracle. No, it might not look look spectacular in quantity, but if it was something beyond your ability to produce.
Ed Dufresne
It'S a miracle. And we need to recognize the miracles.
Debbie Dufresne
That are available and really coming every single day. But because they don't look so spectacular, some people don't have regard for them. And what you don't have regard for, in its small form, God will not, he won't waste wasted on ingratitude.
Ed Dufresne
Amen. And so we See here that when Moses turned aside, then God said, the voice didn't tell the bush. The voice didn't come out of the bush and tell him to turn aside. He initiated whether God continued to speak the a him or not. Meaning this. We hear as much as we have time to hear, as much as we give place to hearing. God's not silent. He's always speaking. And then we have in Second Chronicles, chapter 16, in verse 9, where it says, for the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth. I like this next phrase. To show himself. He's wanting to show himself. Amen. The devil's always showing himself in the earth, but God is looking to show himself. And what's the next word? Strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. And so notice this, God has not.
Debbie Dufresne
Already, if I could say this, determined.
Ed Dufresne
Well, I'm going to show myself strong for this one. I'm going to show myself strong for that one. Because if he already chose who he's going to show Himself strong for, then.
Debbie Dufresne
Why are his eyes looking? Why? Because he's not the one that determines.
Ed Dufresne
Where he shows Himself strong.
Debbie Dufresne
He's there to. He is here present by the power of the Holy Ghost to show Himself strong. Where will that happen?
Ed Dufresne
Where someone's believing, where someone is calling.
Debbie Dufresne
When he says it's time for miracles? Where those going to happen.
Ed Dufresne
With those who are turning aside to see those.
Debbie Dufresne
Who are calling, those who are making.
Ed Dufresne
Time to be with the One so He can show Himself strong. Amen.
Congregation Member
Hallelujah.
Ed Dufresne
I don't want to be left out of that.
Debbie Dufresne
I don't want to be left out of that.
Ed Dufresne
I was reading some of you may have read the book My Time in Heaven by Richard Sigmund. And in that he gave an account that there were angels that would come into the services, that God allowed him to see an operation in the spirit realm, that the angels would come into.
Debbie Dufresne
The service and they would be carrying.
Ed Dufresne
Body parts for people who needed new body parts. And then he would watch and the people, the angels would go and stand by the people that needed them. Why? He's there to show Himself strong. Show Himself strong in behalf.
Debbie Dufresne
What is that?
Ed Dufresne
Why did the angels come with the body parts?
Debbie Dufresne
They were already prepared to, if I.
Ed Dufresne
Could say this, deposit into the people's bodies the parts they needed.
Debbie Dufresne
Why? Because God's a faith God.
Ed Dufresne
He's always got the answer there.
Debbie Dufresne
He's always got the answer there before.
Ed Dufresne
People make the call. And he saw in this. In this experience, He Saw that the.
Debbie Dufresne
Angels came to the service with everything.
Ed Dufresne
That the people in the service needed. But then he saw that the people wouldn't respond.
Debbie Dufresne
And in not responding, the angels took.
Ed Dufresne
What they had and went back to heaven with it. Why was he there? He was ready to show himself strong. He was looking. Who in the service. Who in the service? Who in the service is going to put a demand on what I'm here to show? Amen. And like Pastor Debbie said, this plays.
Debbie Dufresne
Into our motive, our attitude, our interest.
Ed Dufresne
In a service. It matters.
Debbie Dufresne
It matters how we attend. I said, it matters how we attend, not just that we attend.
Ed Dufresne
You remember when in the passage, when it talks about Jesus was in the synagogue and it said, and he set himself over cross from the treasury to see how the people cast money in. It didn't say to see what the people cast in. He said to see how. How they cast in. It matters how we come. It matters how we come. Hungry, believing, reaching, not bored, disinterested, thinking of something else.
Debbie Dufresne
Because I want you to know there is nothing else higher in your life today than what's going on here. Nothing, nothing else of our day is equal to the word, to being among the believers. Nothing, nothing, nothing is equal to that. And I'm not talking. It's a close second.
Ed Dufresne
There's a close second. There's not even close second.
Debbie Dufresne
Everything else is so far beneath what we're doing here. Other things are to be done, but they're nowhere near the importance of what is being here. And so when we come, we need to come with that mind. There is nothing outside this building more important than what's going on in this building. Because if I do the right thing in the building, it's going to affect everything in my life that's outside the building. If I don't handle what is going.
Ed Dufresne
On here, it will rob my life of what God has for it. Amen. Then go with me, if you would, to Jude, chapter one. Of course, the only one chapter, but verse three. Because this is what the Spirit of God said to me several days before we started this conference. What he wanted, basically something emphasized. And so we want to do that Jude. In verse three. We'll read verses three and four. When Jude said, beloved, when I gave all diligence to write to you, write unto you of the common salvation. A common salvation means the salvation that belongs both to the Jew and the Gentile, like it's common to both.
Debbie Dufresne
He said, I was going to write.
Ed Dufresne
To you about your salvation. But he said in doing this, there was Something more urgent that the Spirit wanted said. And this is what I'm writing to you of what that urgency of the Spirit is. And it was more needful for me.
Debbie Dufresne
To write unto you and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the.
Ed Dufresne
Faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Debbie Dufresne
For there are certain men crept in unawares who were before of old, ordained to this condemnation. Ungodly men turning the grace of our.
Ed Dufresne
God into lasciviousness and denying the only.
Debbie Dufresne
Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. Meaning this. The original faith of the gospel was being destroyed by false teachers.
Ed Dufresne
People were teaching falsely and it was injuring the faith. Those who were hearing. The devil hates faith, the God kind of faith.
Debbie Dufresne
He wants you to have the wrong version of faith. Have a faith, but just have the wrong version of it.
Ed Dufresne
Amen. And so we talked about that on Tuesday night.
Debbie Dufresne
What version is that? Well, one of the ver. Well, we know this. Jesus said in Mark 11:22, have the.
Ed Dufresne
God kind of faith.
Debbie Dufresne
The faith that functions and operates like God. It's in you, is the God kind of faith. Now use that faith. Don't use human faith, don't use mental faith. That's not the kind of faith that's going to be the right version. And the devil tries to draw us in the mental arena so that we'll keep trying to believe God with our.
Ed Dufresne
Minds where there is no faith. Amen. And so we know, of course, in.
Debbie Dufresne
Luke 18, verse 8, the Amplified, that.
Ed Dufresne
When Jesus made this statement, when the.
Debbie Dufresne
Son of man comes, will he find.
Ed Dufresne
Persistence in faith on the earth?
Debbie Dufresne
So what kind of faith is he looking for? The God kind of faith. It won't quit.
Ed Dufresne
Amen.
Debbie Dufresne
Then go with me, if you would.
Ed Dufresne
To John chapter six. And there was more that we said about that which you need to go back if you weren't able to be with us on Tuesday night. And you can. We said much along those lines. But tonight I want us to look at John chapter 6, verse 28 and 29. We'll read. The disciples were speaking unto Jesus, and they asked him a question. Then said they unto him, what shall we do? That we might work the works of God. Now notice this.
Debbie Dufresne
They asked him this question because they saw that the works of God, although they were the works of God, they involved man.
Ed Dufresne
And they were saying, what is our part? What must we do?
Debbie Dufresne
And so religion is this God. If God wants to do it, he'll do it.
Ed Dufresne
If he doesn't want to do it, he won't do it.
Debbie Dufresne
That's so unscriptural. Because when God wants to move among man, he involves man. When he's going to work a miracle for man, he involves man. He does not bypass man to get man the miracle. He involves man. And this is where did the disciples get this understanding? They saw Jesus work. They saw him as a man working with the power of God that brought about the miracles. They didn't just say, well, you know, God's just going to do it. No, they said, what must we do? Because we saw you do, speaking to Jesus. They said, we saw you do what do we do to do what you did so that God can do what he does? Because miracles involve man and God, not just God. God.
Ed Dufresne
Well, let me say the next verse then, verse 29. Jesus answered and said unto them, this is the work of God that you believe. Listen.
Debbie Dufresne
This is the work of God that you believe.
Ed Dufresne
When you believe, the work of God goes into manifestation.
Debbie Dufresne
This is the work of God you believe.
Ed Dufresne
Now notice this. They're saying, what is our part to do this? Believe this is your part.
Debbie Dufresne
And notice he calls it a work, not play. It's work. It is work.
Ed Dufresne
That when something is assaulting your soul and you say, don't care.
Debbie Dufresne
It is a work.
Ed Dufresne
When you're sitting in a service and there's a corporate anointing and it's an.
Debbie Dufresne
Easy thing to say, amen, I believe.
Ed Dufresne
It just that way.
Debbie Dufresne
When you hear the word preached and you hear that all things are possible with God, and you hear all the wonderful things that God, it is so easy while we're sitting in that corporate.
Ed Dufresne
Anointing to say, yes, that's right.
Debbie Dufresne
But when you're off on your own and there's all kinds of pressure and all kinds of things to be felt, it's a work to keep believing what you believed in the service. Because so many change what they believe when they feel something different than what.
Ed Dufresne
They want to feel. And as Pastor Debbie was referring on Wednesday morning to the passage that I preached on in the past, when Jesus said, let's go to the other side.
Debbie Dufresne
They got in the boat because they believed that. He didn't say, let's go part way.
Ed Dufresne
There'S going to come a storm and.
Debbie Dufresne
Then we get to bail, boys. He did not eat. Do you know when Jesus started thinking.
Ed Dufresne
About the other side and referring to it? He did not even mention the opposition. Didn't he mention it?
Debbie Dufresne
Had no regard for the opposition.
Ed Dufresne
And then they got in the boat.
Debbie Dufresne
With him because they believe they're going to the other side.
Ed Dufresne
Jesus falls asleep, the storm comes he.
Debbie Dufresne
Refuses to come out of rest to deal with the storm because he's still.
Ed Dufresne
At rest, even though things around him.
Debbie Dufresne
Are not at rest. What's that mean? We are authorized to be at rest when everything around us is in turmoil.
Ed Dufresne
Authorized.
Debbie Dufresne
And he was our example of it. And that's when you know you're in faith. When you don't get up and run, as. Remember how Ed used to say, like, a siren goes off over here, and you run.
Ed Dufresne
You try to.
Debbie Dufresne
You try to deal with Sister Bucketmouth over here. Raa. And then you know, somebody else screaming over there, and you just run back and forth. Faith doesn't do that. Amen.
Ed Dufresne
And so Jesus is asleep. Peter comes and wakes him up with an accusation.
Debbie Dufresne
Carest thou not?
Ed Dufresne
My gosh.
Debbie Dufresne
I'm just sleeping, brother. I'm just sleeping. That's all I'm doing. And now I get accused. I don't care. What's Peter saying? Because you're not troubled like us. You don't care. Ah. People don't like it when you don't respond like them, but you're authorized to not respond like people who don't know.
Ed Dufresne
He says, don't you care?
Debbie Dufresne
So now Jesus is getting blamed because he's not up in the rafters, right?
Ed Dufresne
So carest thou not?
Debbie Dufresne
I mean, Jesus didn't send the storm.
Ed Dufresne
But yet he's getting accused of not caring. And people will say, you don't care about me because.
Debbie Dufresne
I care about you.
Ed Dufresne
That's why I don't act like you.
Debbie Dufresne
Because I can't help you acting like you. Right? That's what Jesus. He acted completely different.
Ed Dufresne
Now notice what Peter said to him.
Debbie Dufresne
Carest thou not? Listen to the next phrase. That we perish.
Ed Dufresne
Notice this. He used to believe they were going to the other side. Who told him he was perishing? Who told him he was perishing?
Debbie Dufresne
Who told him? He believed something different than what Jesus said. And now he's mad because Jesus.
Ed Dufresne
Didn'T change what he said. You know? So Peter used to believe they were getting to the other side.
Debbie Dufresne
He got wet. And then no longer believes that he's getting to the other side. Now he says, we're perishing. Okay.
Ed Dufresne
Drama. Okay. Drama.
Debbie Dufresne
Right. Faith.
Ed Dufresne
People have no room for drama. No room. No room.
Debbie Dufresne
You cannot give in to drama. Feed drama. Run to drama.
Ed Dufresne
It will weaken faith. Why? Because we determine the outcome.
Debbie Dufresne
Circumstances can come, but the outcome of.
Ed Dufresne
Those circumstances rests with us. My mother used to say to us kids, you can start anything. You're big enough to let me finish. Meaning if you Want to talk back? Go ahead, start that.
Debbie Dufresne
But I'm going to finish it. Disobey me, Go ahead, start that. But I'm going to finish it.
Ed Dufresne
The devil can start something, but we say the finish. We say the finish, we say the finish. Amen. So Peter said, carest thou not that we perish? What's the problem? He changed what he believed because he felt something.
Debbie Dufresne
This is the work of faith. Don't change what you believe simply because.
Ed Dufresne
You feel something, simply because you hear.
Debbie Dufresne
Something, simply because something is bombarding your flesh, bombarding your mind. This is the work of faith. This is the work of believing. And it's a work to hold your mind. It's a work to hold your attention on the Word. But let me tell you, when it's an easy work, when you get full, when you're full of the Word, it anchors you. It anchors you. It's when we're less than full that this becomes a struggle. It's not notice. Jesus said, this is the work of God that you believe. He didn't say, this is the hard work of God. It's not hard. It's not hard unless you're empty.
Ed Dufresne
Amen.
Debbie Dufresne
So he said, this is the work of God that you believe.
Ed Dufresne
So they said, what must we do that we might work the works of God. They're talking about miracles. We want to see God do what.
Debbie Dufresne
Only he can do.
Ed Dufresne
And Jesus said, when you do the.
Debbie Dufresne
Work of believing, that's when God does.
Ed Dufresne
His work of manifesting. Okay, so what does the work of believing involve? The best. One of the. One of the best scriptures and different scriptures reveal it. One of the best scriptures that reveal the work of believing is Joshua, chapter 1, verse 8. When God spoke to Joshua when he's.
Debbie Dufresne
Getting ready to lead the second generation.
Ed Dufresne
Of Hebrews upon the death of Moses, Moses dealt with the first generation who never arrived. And so Joshua is now the leader of the second generation of Hebrews.
Debbie Dufresne
And God is telling them how to.
Ed Dufresne
Turn a failing nation into a succeeding nation. Nation that never arrived, into one that occupies.
Debbie Dufresne
What do you do?
Ed Dufresne
And in one verse, God gives him the prescription for arriving at the fullness of what's been provided. Joshua, chapter one, verse eight.
Debbie Dufresne
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth.
Ed Dufresne
Prescription number one for arriving at the fullness of.
Debbie Dufresne
Of what God has provided.
Ed Dufresne
For experiencing the fullness.
Debbie Dufresne
Well, what's the fullness? Everything good. Everything good. Healing, health, peace, prosperity, victory, deliverance. Everything good. Everything good. And he said, this book of the law shall not depart out of your Mouth. How do you experience everything good? The first thing he tells us, he said, you're going to have to deal with your mouth. The work of believing begins in your mouth. When he said, this is the work of God that you believe. The work of God. The work of believing begins with your mouth. It was their mouth that disqualified them from arriving. And it's their mouth that's going to qualify them to arrive. People will say this, well, you're talking about works. You're exactly right. I am talking about works. Well, you know, Jesus paid for everything. God provided everything. We don't have a work to do. Oh, really? Jesus didn't know this because he said, this is the work. Amen. We do not have to work to earn what's been provided, but we do listen. You don't earn your salvation, but once you're saved, works is everything, baby. Works is everything. You don't just sit back and hope it's going to dump on you. It's not. We all have to do the work of believing to lay hold of what freely he provided.
Ed Dufresne
Amen. And so the first thing we have to do, this book of the law.
Debbie Dufresne
Shall not depart out of your mouth. Whether or not we arrive at healing.
Ed Dufresne
Is going to begin with our mouth.
Debbie Dufresne
Whether or not we arrive at prosperity, it's going to begin with our mouth. That's the first place that we have.
Ed Dufresne
To be examining what's going on in your mouth.
Debbie Dufresne
Because that's what disqualified the first generation from arriving.
Ed Dufresne
They complained against God, complained against Moses.
Debbie Dufresne
Complained against Aaron, wanted to go back into Egypt time and time again.
Ed Dufresne
Why they didn't change their mouth because it didn't change the way they thought. Amen. So he said, this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth. The work of believing begins with. With our mouth. And notice this. It's a lifestyle of what we're saying.
Debbie Dufresne
Not moments of having right words.
Ed Dufresne
A lifestyle of saying right.
Debbie Dufresne
Meaning circumstances.
Ed Dufresne
Are not filling our mouths. The word is filling our mouth because.
Debbie Dufresne
Circumstances are going to fluctuate, but the word never changes.
Ed Dufresne
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth. Well, do you know that when you resist the devil, that's the word in your mouth. When you answer the devil, that's the word in your mouth.
Debbie Dufresne
Do you know that when you're confessing, that's the word. Don't think that. The only way the word is in.
Ed Dufresne
Your mouth is through confessing scriptures.
Debbie Dufresne
When you say devil, you take your hands off that that's the word in your mouth. That when you're calling money, you come. That's the word in your mouth. When you're saying, father, I worship you, that is the word in your mouth. Worshiping and praising is the word in your mouth. Too many times. We just limit it to the thought of confessing. The word is the word in our mouth. Amen. But it's anytime, anytime we're acting in line, speaking in line with the word that is the word in our mouth. So this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth.
Ed Dufresne
Second prescription for the work of believing. But thou shall meditate therein day and night.
Debbie Dufresne
What's meditate? See, the word in your mouth deals.
Ed Dufresne
With the tongue, but meditation is going to deal with your thought life, and.
Debbie Dufresne
It'S going to deal with what Pastor.
Ed Dufresne
Debbie was talking about, your attention. What is your attention on?
Debbie Dufresne
It doesn't matter that the word is in your mouth when your thoughts are on the wrong thing. And I will say this. If we're around the Word of Faith camp enough, we can learn proper lingo. We can learn the lingo of faith, but our mind is just off doing whatever our mind used to do. But we've learned the lingo of what to say around fellow believers. Well, I'm believing this and I'm believing that because we've learned. Well, it's good. We should learn it. But the lingo needs to be backed up by the right thoughts or it is just lingo. And this is where meditation deals with. Because meditation is going to take the word you're speaking and drive it down into your spirit. Why must the word be driven into your spirit? Because faith's in your spirit. It's not in your mind. If you're just going to talk out of your mind, there's no faith there. That's why the word has to be lodged in our spirits. It has to be driven down into our spirits. And that only happens through meditation. How come people can speak the word? They sound right. Listen, being in ministry as long as I have, I've been around, and everyone at some level who's had some kind.
Ed Dufresne
Of history of being in the church.
Debbie Dufresne
You can hear people, that they say the right words, but their life looks completely different than what they're saying. And. And if you're not careful, you're going, I'm a head scratcher. Because, I mean, they say all the right thing, then there's something missing.
Ed Dufresne
It's called meditation.
Debbie Dufresne
When somebody is saying the right thing, but nothing of their life looks like what they're saying, it's meditation.
Ed Dufresne
That's missing.
Debbie Dufresne
It's not alive in them. It's only in their mouth, but it's not alive in them in the way they think, in the way they process things. Meditation helps you process everything through the.
Ed Dufresne
Word and not through your feelings. Amen.
Debbie Dufresne
Meditation does for you what speaking won't do for you.
Ed Dufresne
Meditation is going to deal with your thought life. Now remember what James said. He said a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Don't let him think he's going to receive anything of the Lord. Don't let that man think that it's.
Debbie Dufresne
Double minded to say the right words. But when you're laying in bed, you're.
Ed Dufresne
Thinking something different to yourself.
Debbie Dufresne
Double minded. How do you. And listen, we've all had to deal with this. How do we deal with that temptation to think something different than we know is true about the word?
Ed Dufresne
Meditation is what deals with it.
Debbie Dufresne
Amen.
Ed Dufresne
Amen. Meditation. You speak the word yourself. I mean there was so many times, you know, you can look back and see meditation anchors you. It keeps you from drifting with everything that opposes you. Meditation keeps you consistent and constant. And you know someone's faith life by their consistency of life that when they see you at church, they know what version of you they're going to get. If you don't know what version of somebody you're going to get, it's a faith issue. They're not anchored in the Word.
Debbie Dufresne
Why are they not? The Word is not their meditation.
Ed Dufresne
So I remember in one of the business deals after Ed went home to be with the Lord and there was one business deal especially that the devil was just hovering around to try to poke and prod at that thing. Said to me, he said, write a letter to them. And he said, I'm going to send an angel with that letter. I sent a letter and it's like that thing exploded in the negative direction. Because see, we think that when God.
Debbie Dufresne
Says something, automatically everything just falls in place.
Ed Dufresne
Baby.
Debbie Dufresne
That'S what we think, that's what we assume. We know how it's going to play out. But when you do what God says.
Ed Dufresne
It can play out differently in the.
Debbie Dufresne
Natural things can escalate.
Ed Dufresne
And they, it just, they, they went after me tooth and toenail, you know, And I'm driving down the road and I'm holding to the steering wheel with all the assault coming against the mind. And I said, it's the truth and no lie. Well, God said it's the truth and no lie. It's the truth and no lie.
Debbie Dufresne
I don't care what they say. They're lying about it.
Ed Dufresne
Because I know what God said about it. They're the ones lying.
Debbie Dufresne
What God said is the truth. They will change. They will change. This situation will change. This situation will change.
Ed Dufresne
You know, for the next six months.
Debbie Dufresne
I had to hold to that.
Ed Dufresne
What is that? I'm meditating.
Debbie Dufresne
I'm not just out there preaching and saying it. I'm meditating on that. In my thought life. While I'm driving down the road in my car, I am calling up what God says. And I'm saying it in the face of every feeling, in the face of every poke, in the face of every prod. I'm drawing up what God says. And I say, God says this. God says this. God says this. When Steven and Morgan were endeavoring to get in the home that they're in.
Ed Dufresne
Now, and it looked like it wasn't.
Debbie Dufresne
Going to work out, they were in the home, but it looked like that the people that were selling it wanted.
Ed Dufresne
The home back, back, because they hadn't closed the sale yet. And they wanted the home back. And so they were trying to make them get out, you know. And so Steve was talking about getting, you know, starting to move out. And I said, why are you starting to move out? He said, because they.
Debbie Dufresne
They tell me I have to get.
Ed Dufresne
Out by a certain amount of time.
Debbie Dufresne
Certain date, and I don't have the financing yet. I got to get out.
Ed Dufresne
I said, wait a minute. What did God say?
Debbie Dufresne
What did God say?
Ed Dufresne
He said, well, God said, that's our house. And I said, then we're done talking about packing.
Debbie Dufresne
All we have to know to arrive.
Ed Dufresne
At success is what did God say?
Debbie Dufresne
What did God say? This is what meditation is. It's knowing what God says and not moving off of it in your thought life, not moving off of it in what you play out in your imagination. And it is a work to hold to that. Not a hard work, but it's a joyous work because now you know what. What to do with your thought life. When everybody else would have fallen apart, you know what to do. It's a joy to know what work.
Ed Dufresne
You'Re supposed to be doing.
Debbie Dufresne
You know, when we have a workday.
Ed Dufresne
Around here, we have a workday before a conference comes. And this church congregation is so sweet. They come because we tell them this is our house.
Debbie Dufresne
Before company comes, we clean our house, and everybody come and clean. Everybody come and clean. It's not right to come and sit house and dirty it and not clean it. Everybody come clean.
Ed Dufresne
And so we say, these Things.
Debbie Dufresne
And so when they come and there's an assigned date, Dede, who is our administrator, she has a complete work order. She has everything that needs to be lined out. And the people come and she. They say, find Dede. She will assign you. Well, see, then they don't. They don't walk around going, I don't know what to do. I don't. Well, and you know, cleaning the same thing four times. No, there's none of that going on. Because there is an order to the work. There's an order to the work. And it's a joy to work when you go. Oh, you go. And you clean those trees over there. Okay, Go do it. Why? Because you know exactly what's expected of you. This is the work of believing we know what's expected of us. It's not like you gotta guess. What does God want? What does God want of you today? And I hope you guessed right, because if you. Boom. The earth is going to open up and you're going down. No, it's a joyous work because he makes it clear. What is the work? This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you meditate in it day and night. You meditate. Many are meditating in their problems day and night. He says, meditate in the word day and night. Listen, it's time for miracles. And we can't get there by meditating in our obstacles. How do we get to miracles? How about us going down the road to church and meditating on arms growing out, legs growing out? What about that meditation?
Ed Dufresne
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but thou shalt meditate. You're going to have to know what God say to you. What God say to you. And you better hold to it. Hold to it.
Debbie Dufresne
That's all meditation is. What is God saying to you? Listen, the Word is vast. The Word is so broad that you don't have to go to the Word.
Ed Dufresne
And go, let me find something to meditate on.
Debbie Dufresne
The Holy Spirit will prompt you of what? To emphasize what he prompts. That's what you're to meditate on. Don't just pick something random and decide. The Holy Spirit will prescribe for you the verse that fits what your life needs. And if he prescribes one verse, don't.
Ed Dufresne
You go find seven.
Debbie Dufresne
The devil would love to give you seven verses. He knows the Word. He would love to prompt you towards seven verses to get you away from.
Ed Dufresne
The one the Spirit prescribed for you.
Debbie Dufresne
What did God prompt? Prompt in your heart? That's what to meditate on, that's the one to get in your mouth. And have you ever noticed that when.
Ed Dufresne
You'Re facing something that the Spirit will.
Debbie Dufresne
Bring one verse to you one day? And that thing is so alive, it.
Ed Dufresne
Stands up on the inside of you.
Debbie Dufresne
It's like it's yours. Ah, everybody else get off my verse. That's my verse. You know, you get up the next day, day, and that thing seems almost dead to you.
Ed Dufresne
And the Holy Spirit now is prompting you towards something else.
Debbie Dufresne
Follow him because he is stocking the shelves of your spirit with everything you need. So when he says, this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate in it. Let it be spirit prescribed meditations. You say, how do I know what.
Ed Dufresne
The spirit's prescribing for me? Well, if you keep the word in your mouth, you'll be sensitive to the Spirit. Amen. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth. So notice this, miracles begin in our mouth. Miracles. The work of believing begins with what are we saying? Yeah, yeah, we can't arrive now remember what Ed said by the Spirit. He said in this last day revival, all five fold offices operating at full potential power. He said all nine manifestations of the Spirit operating at full potential power. We cannot operate at full potential power when we're not giving an all out effort in doing the work of believing. It's going to cough. And this is why I believe God. God said to me, it's time for miracles. What's he saying? It's time to make sure you're doing.
Debbie Dufresne
The work of believing so that the work of God can come to pass.
Ed Dufresne
Amen. So what's the work of God believing for our part, our side, the work of God, there's his side, but our side is we believe and we begin with our mouth, then we begin, we go on to meditations.
Debbie Dufresne
And really those are done simultaneously. That's how you keep the word in.
Ed Dufresne
Your mouth, your meditations, what are you meditating on? It keeps your mouth filled. And then the third thing he prescribes so that you may observe to do, you may observe to do, according to all that's written there. And in other words, do what he says, just do what he says. You don't have to figure out the doing, just do what he says and.
Debbie Dufresne
The Spirit will lead you in your doing. Don't just randomly decide what faith act.
Ed Dufresne
You'Re going to do to prove you have faith. Listen, you can act and act and act and it's not Acting that gives you faith. And so many act to try to get faith. They try throw out their medicine because.
Debbie Dufresne
They think they can obligate God to healing them.
Ed Dufresne
Or they give a certain amount of money away.
Debbie Dufresne
Because if I give that, then God has to.
Ed Dufresne
No, no, no.
Debbie Dufresne
It's not from a place of obligation.
Ed Dufresne
It's from a place of being led. And the Spirit will lead you to act in line with your measure of faith. Well, how are you going to get more faith? The first thing, put the word in your mouth. Put the word in your mouth, meditate on will make that word come alive to you. It will. If I could say this, it turns you into an owner of that word to where it's not just some random verse to you, but it's yours. I mean, you recognize your help and your answer in that.
Debbie Dufresne
That you may observe. To do.
Ed Dufresne
To do. I was telling our congregation, this is.
Debbie Dufresne
The illustration that God gave me regarding.
Ed Dufresne
This, because notice the divine order in your mouth, in your meditations. Then the Spirit will direct you in what to do. The doing doesn't come until you got the word in your mouth, because the doing will be fruitless until you're full of the word. When will the Spirit direct you? When your mouth is full and your meditations are full. Then you're ready to act. Then you're ready to act. This is why people say that faith stuff doesn't work. It doesn't work for empty people.
Debbie Dufresne
You have to get the word in.
Ed Dufresne
Your mouth, then you have to meditate on it.
Debbie Dufresne
Then your actions hit the target. Spirit led actions hit the target. This is the work of believing. And God gives you your purpose, personal.
Ed Dufresne
Life to practice on.
Debbie Dufresne
So that when we come together, we are already in the habit of saying the right thing, thinking the right thing, and acting in line with the right thing. Amen. Then we get corporate united results. A greater degree, greater manifestations. But this is the example that God gave to me.
Ed Dufresne
You can those old time muskets.
Debbie Dufresne
And there was a process. Those guys, you know, and you see.
Ed Dufresne
It in old movies or whatever, they.
Debbie Dufresne
Didn'T just pick up that gun and go click, click, click, click, click. Because there's nothing coming out, baby, nothing coming out.
Ed Dufresne
Just clicking, you know.
Debbie Dufresne
And so what was the pattern?
Ed Dufresne
They had to.
Debbie Dufresne
The order was they had to pour.
Ed Dufresne
Gunpowder in, pour a bullet in, then.
Debbie Dufresne
Put a paper wad in there, right? That is called the word in your mouth. Loading the gun. And then after that, it's not enough to load it. They took a rod and they would pack it down why?
Ed Dufresne
Accuracy. It doesn't matter that it's loaded and.
Debbie Dufresne
You'Re going to fire it. If you're inaccurate in what it hits, it doesn't matter. You wasted your load. So they pack it down.
Ed Dufresne
And then the third thing is. What?
Debbie Dufresne
Then they fire it. You don't fire it until it's loaded and packed. The word in your mouth is loading the gun. The rod is the meditation. You're packing it down into your spirit, packing it into your thought life, packing it into your tension. You pack it down and you pack it tight. Now, when the spirit says now, see, they're over there behind that tree. Boom. Why? You only get one shot after that with that musket. It wasn't automatic rifle. It was one shot. What's that mean? You want to make sure that you're firing at the right time, at the right thing. So the work of believing is what.
Ed Dufresne
Fill our mouth, meditate, fill our thoughts, fill our attention, and then follow the Holy Ghost in how to act. This is the work of believing. In Jesus, they said, what must we do that we do the works of God. This is the work of God. You put the word in your mouth, you put the word in your spirit, in your attention, and then you act according to what the spirit leads you to do.
Debbie Dufresne
Amen. Isn't that how the first miracle really.
Ed Dufresne
Ever happened, that Jesus worked on the earth? What was it at the wedding?
Debbie Dufresne
I just.
Ed Dufresne
I love the dynamic you see between mother and son in this setting. Because Mary comes over and says, they've run out of wine. Jesus, what's that got to do with me?
Debbie Dufresne
You know what she answered him?
Ed Dufresne
Nothing.
Debbie Dufresne
She didn't give him any more answer. He didn't care. She didn't care.
Ed Dufresne
She didn't care.
Debbie Dufresne
I'm requesting of you something, you know. And he says, woman, it's not my time.
Ed Dufresne
She did not even respond to that. She turns to the servant and says, do what he tells you to do.
Debbie Dufresne
Whatever he saith unto you, do it. What's that mean?
Ed Dufresne
I'm telling you to say something to them.
Debbie Dufresne
That's exactly what she did. Whatever he says. Now he's obligated. Mama obligated him.
Ed Dufresne
Whatever he says to you, do it.
Debbie Dufresne
That's the work of believing.
Ed Dufresne
Whatever he says to you, do it.
Debbie Dufresne
Whatever he says. Whatever he says, not whatever you can figure out. Whatever he says, not whatever you can calculate. Whatever he says, do it. When he says, give, and you go, I don't have any money. He didn't tell you to calculate. He said, give right. When he Says, buy that piece of property. I don't have the money for that. I didn't tell you to have the money. I told you to buy it. See, we add to what he says and disqualify and dismiss ourselves from it. The work of believing is just doing what he says. Amen. We're going to be. We're in that flow of miracles. We're in it. We're in it. We're in it. But it's not about us sitting back and waiting. It's about us turning aside and listening and seeing what needs to be done.
Ed Dufresne
Us becoming skillful with the word.
Debbie Dufresne
Amen. Stand with me to your feet, Father, we thank you tonight for your word. It's a lamp to our feet. It's a light to our path.
Ed Dufresne
Thank you for making our part clear. And it's such a joyous part. You've not given us the hard part. You've given us the easy part. You did the hard part. And it is a joy to believe your word.
Debbie Dufresne
It is a joy to believe your word.
Congregation Member
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Debbie Dufresne
Lift up your voice to him tonight.
Ed Dufresne
Lift up your hands.
Debbie Dufresne
Let's worship him. We worship you, Father. We worship you. We worship you, Father. We worship you. We glorify you. We magnify you, Father. We say what you say. It's time for miracles. It's time. It's time. It's time for that greater flow. It's time for it. It's time for what these prophets have spoken of. It's time about this last day era. We're in it and we move with it. It's time. It's time for miracles. It's time for our skill toward miracles. It's time for our believing toward miracles. It's time for our moving, our actions that are led by the spirit.
Ed Dufresne
It's time for it.
Prayer Leader
We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father.
Ed Dufresne
I remember I was, in fact, Pastor Angela, I believe, was with me on this trip. We had gone to Dodge City, Kansas, and I had done several meetings there. And then we did the last service there. And then we were going to leave the next morning. And. And that night when I went to bed, I had a dream. And in that dream, I saw myself walk into a big warehouse. It looked like really something, probably a little bit bigger than this room, but it had a concrete floor. There was nothing in it.
Debbie Dufresne
And I walked in through the back.
Ed Dufresne
And then there was one single chair in the middle of the room. And when I walked from the back there was an older gentleman. He looked to be in his 70s and he was mostly bald, but I didn't recognize him. And I've studied, you know, people of old and pioneers of the past and stuff, and no one of that.
Debbie Dufresne
I didn't, I didn't recognize him at all.
Ed Dufresne
But I knew he was a man.
Prayer Leader
Who walked with God.
Ed Dufresne
That's all I knew. In that dream, he walked with God.
Congregation Member
And.
Debbie Dufresne
We walked together and came around.
Ed Dufresne
And there was a chair sitting in the middle of the room and there was a man sitting in the chair and his back was to us. We walked up from the. Toward. From the back direction of him and I didn't see it until we got there, but we got around in front of him and when we got there, I saw that the man's legs were cut off right below the knees, both legs. And then this older gentleman that was with us, he never said. With me, he never said a thing to me. But he walked over there and he reached down, he squatted down and he picked up the man's.
Debbie Dufresne
The part that. The limb that was hanging below the.
Ed Dufresne
Knee, and he pulled it out straight to be in line with the top of his leg. And then he spoke to it.
Debbie Dufresne
And it. It wasn't even that. I didn't even really hear the words at all.
Ed Dufresne
I just knew he was speaking to it because God wasn't trying to emphasize the words. And then what the man did, he didn't just let his hands fall and let the legs fall, but he took those limbs and they were about this.
Debbie Dufresne
Much below the knee.
Ed Dufresne
And he took them and he placed them like that, as though there were shoes under there.
Debbie Dufresne
I mean, on purpose.
Ed Dufresne
He expected something to be there by.
Debbie Dufresne
The time those legs bent to meet.
Ed Dufresne
And when he did, I saw these.
Debbie Dufresne
Huh.
Ed Dufresne
It was the most graceful, elegant action I've ever seen a feet grow on. I mean, just in a smooth.
Debbie Dufresne
It wasn't a contortionist looking thing, you.
Ed Dufresne
Know, like these movies with, I don't know, these people that change forms and stuff and they, you know, contort.
Debbie Dufresne
It was none of that. It was none of that. It was absolute beauty, absolute grace, absolute flawlessness. Just beautiful. These legs grew out and then it.
Ed Dufresne
Came and the feet grew on. I mean, just in one smooth movement. It wasn't little by little, just one smooth movement.
Debbie Dufresne
And then it stopped right at the balls of the feet, right before the toes.
Ed Dufresne
And then it paused maybe two seconds and then it continued and the toes grew on. And when I woke up, the word of the Lord Came to me and said this. Your husband has asked. Had asked because Ed had gone home to be with the Lord at this time in the last several years of his life. He'd go to different churches and he would ask, who in here has seen an arm grow on. Who in here has seen a leg grow?
Debbie Dufresne
He said, now, I'm not talking.
Ed Dufresne
Sometimes you can see an arm extend, but it was just maybe out of alignment. Well, that's a miracle.
Debbie Dufresne
But he was talking about something that.
Ed Dufresne
Was maimed, something that was born missing.
Debbie Dufresne
Something that was maimed and wasn't there. How many had ever seen an arm grow on. How many ever seen a leg? And nobody. In all the churches we ever went to, nobody.
Ed Dufresne
Of all the many congregations and the people, nobody.
Debbie Dufresne
And God reminded me of that. And he said, nobody has seen it.
Ed Dufresne
That you've been around. And he said, Jesus said, I only do what I see my father do. He said, you couldn't do it until you see it. That's why I'm showing it to you. No man could show it to you because you haven't been with anyone who could show you that operation. So I showed it to you.
Debbie Dufresne
Why?
Ed Dufresne
Because that's what he wants to do. Now, remember what it said about Moses? He turned aside to see God will show us things that no man can show us, that maybe we haven't seen.
Debbie Dufresne
But be open to let God show.
Ed Dufresne
Us things that we've never seen. Why? Because. Because God wants to do things we've never seen. But we have to see it before he'll do it.
Debbie Dufresne
Why?
Ed Dufresne
Because that's what Jesus said. Only do what I see my Father do. You don't have faith to move with something until you see it in your spirit. Remember. Remember what Sister Lindsay was talking about. You have to see the finish so that you'll know where the start line is. That's exactly what she was talking about. And this is what Jesus said. Basically, he would see it in the spirit, and then he would come out among the people and act out what he saw.
Debbie Dufresne
Dad Hagin used to talk about how.
Ed Dufresne
He'D be in prayer before service, and the service would run off in front of him like a screen, and he'd just go out and act out what he saw.
Debbie Dufresne
Well, I want you to know God.
Ed Dufresne
Has things to show all of us. Not just preachers, all of us. Take time to see. Take time to see.
Debbie Dufresne
Well, when are we going to take time to see?
Ed Dufresne
When we're doing Joshua, chapter 1, verse 8.
Debbie Dufresne
The word in our mouth and meditating on the Word and following the leading of the Spirit in how to act. It's not while we're doing the unimportant all the time. We can't give our listen.
Ed Dufresne
I know there's natural things that have to be done, but we're in such a critical time that we have to make sure our priorities are where they should be. Notice it said seek ye first.
Debbie Dufresne
The kingdom of God.
Ed Dufresne
It doesn't say seek ye only, but.
Debbie Dufresne
It has to be first.
Ed Dufresne
And nothing else can be near that seat. Why? Because God won't share seats with the first.
Debbie Dufresne
It's not a shared seat.
Ed Dufresne
Only God can occupy that if we're going to live out the plan God has for us. Amen.
Prayer Leader
We thank you, Father.
Debbie Dufresne
Ah.
Prayer Leader
We thank you, Father.
Ed Dufresne
It's time to see. It's time to see in the spirit realm, the spirit of seeing and knowing, so that the miracles can come into manifestation. Because they must be seen before people will believe for God to work them. So it's time to see. It's time for. For us to step into the place of seeing and knowing.
Prayer Leader
We thank you for it. We thank you. We thank you. We thank you.
Ed Dufresne
Another room of seeing.
Congregation Member
Hallelujah.
Ed Dufresne
You know, if you were invited to stay in someone's house and somebody asked you later, well, what did the dining room look? Oh, I don't know. I didn't go in and see that room. You have to go into the room to see what that room holds. When it's time for miracles. We have to go into that room to see. And you go there in the spirit first, just like Sister Lindsay said. We have to see the finish of it. Because all these things are completed in the spirit realm, in God's realm. People with missing limbs have them in God's realm. Right, right. There's wholeness in that realm. We get in the spirit and we see it the way he sees it. And we come back and, oh, it's so doable for God to do it right, for us to believe that.
Congregation Member
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Ed Dufresne
Because I had the sense that God wanted me to lay hands on the.
Debbie Dufresne
Ministers and I didn't know what about.
Ed Dufresne
And he said about this room, this room of seeing. So I. I want to do that. I don't know how many may be here. So let's do this. This section, if there's any full time fivefold ministers, not people that you know are coming in and out. But I'm talking about, that's how you make your living. Anybody in this section, These, this section right here, full time.
Debbie Dufresne
5.
Ed Dufresne
Yeah, go ahead and move that in the aisles, guys.
Congregation Member
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Ed Dufresne
Then let's do this middle section full time, fivefold.
Congregation Member
Hallelujah.
Prayer Leader
We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father. We thank you. Thank you, Father. We thank you, Father. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
Ed Dufresne
Congregation, let's just lift up our voice, lift up our hands. Worship the Lord.
Prayer Leader
We worship you, Father. We worship you, Father.
Ed Dufresne
Now, let me say something to the ministers, and this is true for anybody. When the anointing comes on you, you have to respond. You have to receive that in. I'm just saying it won't do any good to come up and have somebody to bless you, and you just not know how to respond. Respond to that. Take that in and receive it. So I encourage you do that. Amen.
Congregation Member
Hallelujah.
Ed Dufresne
Because that's when it can do a work for us.
Prayer Leader
We thank you, Father. We thank you. We thank you. We thank you. We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father. We thank you. We thank you, Father, for that spirit.
Ed Dufresne

Ed Dufresne
We'Ll do it that way.
Debbie Dufresne
Don't be stuck. And that it's got to be this way.
Ed Dufresne
In your own thinking, don't be stuck. Don't assume. Don't assume it's got to be this way. But let the spirit define the way it's done. We let the spirit define it. Let the spirit. Let the spirit define that he's the author of it. He's.
Debbie Dufresne
God is the author of that.

Debbie Dufresne
I have full equipment, and it flows.
Prayer Leader
I thank you, Father.
Ed Dufresne
Full, Full. Fully equipped. When all the equipment is there, everything is just so much easier. When all the tools that a carpenter needs are available to him, then any job, it just. It just flows easily because he's not missing equipment that he needs. You're not missing the equipment needed for that place. You're going, oh, yeah, it's. It can increase, and, yes, it can grow.

Prayer Leader
We thank youk, Father, for making.
Ed Dufresne
Making them so skillful, so skillful in their roles, helping them to be so skillful. It is God. The two of you make it a practice to say. I believe it's Philippians 2:13. It is God who is working in me both to will and to do of his good pleasure. His good pleasure is the next phase of ministry. And he's going to work in you, not only to will, but to be able to do it. Say it every day. It's you, Father, who's working in me both to will my insides and to do. To carry it out. We can carry it out. We're carrying it out based on your doing. Amen. Amen. You're equipped for it.
Prayer Leader
We thank you. We thank you, Father. We thank you. Ah, we thank you, Father.
Ed Dufresne
This is what God said to me the other night. Healing, anointing. Healing, anointing. Healing, anointing. Now become more and more skillful with it. Study it. Study more after those who were used in it. Because it's conditional. It's conditional. It will flow to the degree of our skill.
Prayer Leader

Prayer Leader
Ah, we thank you, Father. We thank you. We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father.
Ed Dufresne
Pastor. God said to me, when Ed went home to be with the Lord, I looked and I. I asked Him, I said, where. Where. Where's my supply? Where do you want me to hook up? And he said this to me. He said, you're going to have to hook up with Brother Copeland. Then this is the word I want you to hear. Because he walks in graces that you need to fulfill. And there's Some graces God has for you that can't be just gotten anywhere. You have to be where God tells you to be to get them. That's the important thing. Be where God tells you to be to get them. So I. I don't. I don't know quite how that means. Pastor laketic, who is your pastor's, your man of God, precious man of God has so much that comes, but there's some other. There's some other places. I'm not saying leave the company. I don't mean that. I'm saying there's others within that. Within the company that have a grace for you and your life needs it. Make sure you're where you need to be to get those graces.

Amen.
Congregation Member
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Debbie Dufresne
Just.
Ed Dufresne
Yeah. Power meets movement. God told us. God told my husband, you've heard the story, when he walked into the 7:11 one morning and there was a housing magazine right in the entry, and on the front of it was a. On the COVID was a house. And God said, that's your house.
Debbie Dufresne
Can I tell you what we had?
Ed Dufresne
We had debt.
Debbie Dufresne
We didn't have a house.
Ed Dufresne
We were in debt up to our eyeballs. Our credit cards were maxed out. And I guarantee you I didn't have over $100 in the bank account. And God said, that's your house. And we didn't sit and wait for it to come. Ed called the real estate guy that was in our church and says, I want to see that house. When do you want to see it? Today. Today? Today. We went and saw it. Ned said, yeah. I walked in, it said, yeah, I'll take it. He said, find the owner. It was owned by a woman outright. She lived in the LA area. It was an investment home for her. She was quite well off. They found out that her two sons ran her business for her. So they contacted the two sons. The two sons came and met with Ed, and Ed said, this is my house. He said, I want to buy it. They said, okay. And Ed said, I don't have any money. And Ed said, what can you do to get me in that house?
Debbie Dufresne
What can you do?
Ed Dufresne
To get me in that house. They said, well, we can't do anything.
Debbie Dufresne
Because it's owned by our mother.
Ed Dufresne
We can't offer you something. And so they said, let us go talk to our mom. And so they went back to LA and talked to their mom and said, mom, there's a preacher in Murrieta who wants that home. It had been built two years prior to no one had ever lived in it. It sat empty after it was built. And she said, what's the preacher's name? And he said. They said, well, his name is Ed Dufresne. She said, fifteen years ago, I went to his church in Torrance, California.
Debbie Dufresne
God healed me.
Ed Dufresne
Do whatever you got to do to get that man in that house.
Debbie Dufresne
What am I trying to say?
Ed Dufresne
Power meets movement.
Debbie Dufresne
If we would have sat and wore.
Ed Dufresne
Waited for money to show up.
Debbie Dufresne
We lived in that house 11 years.
Ed Dufresne
Sold it, made a million dollars on it. You understand? We made a million dollars when we had 100.
Debbie Dufresne
It's not what you can calculate, what you can figure out. Power meets movement. What if we hadn't called the real.
Ed Dufresne
Estate guy waiting for the money to show up? What if we hadn't said, we want to talk to the owner? Because naturally the mind says, well, I.
Debbie Dufresne
Don'T have anything to offer the owner. But you don't know what God's doing on the backside. God worked 15 years prior with this house, no doubt in mind. Amen. You don't know what God's working on the backside.
Ed Dufresne
Just because you can't see it on.
Debbie Dufresne
The front side doesn't mean the supply.
Ed Dufresne
Isn'T complete on the backside. And I say that for you. Power meets movement. Power meets movement. We don't wait for everything to be in place before we move.
Debbie Dufresne
We don't wait for anything to be.
Ed Dufresne
In place before we move. Power meets movement.
Debbie Dufresne
The more we move, the more power flows. Financially, physically, in everything that he says.
Ed Dufresne
The more we move on what he says, the more the power flows to fulfill what he says. What God says to us is never a money issue. Never a money issue. It's always, always a faith issue. It's always an acting issue. And we don't act till we get full. Many times people try to act until they're full. How do you get full?
Debbie Dufresne
Put the word in your mouth and meditate. Get full of what God says and God will say something to you well before it's meant to be acted out. Why does he say things years in advance?
Ed Dufresne
Because he's giving you the opportunity to.
Debbie Dufresne
Fill up with the word. And meditate so that when it's time, when you get full, then the spirit will say, act now. Move now. See, you say we did this. Why? Because the day he saw that we moved that day. Why we were full. But just because God says something he's giving you, that's your emphasis. Get full of what he just said.
Ed Dufresne
Said, amen. God might have put a business in your heart.
Debbie Dufresne
God might have put a new home or something in your heart. Get full of that. Get full of that. Meditate on it. Talk about it.
Ed Dufresne
Put pictures of it for.
Debbie Dufresne
Do whatever you have to do. Talk about it at the dinner table. Talk about it in the card. Say when that house, that's ours, that house that's. That house that we're. We're getting ready to move into. Talk like, talk as though you are the present owner.
Ed Dufresne
Because in the spirit realm, there's sold signs on stuff.
Debbie Dufresne
In the spirit realm, when God says it's yours, there's a soul sign on it. In the spirit realm.
Ed Dufresne
Amen. There's one minister, and Pastor Ruby was.
Debbie Dufresne
Telling me about it, and I still don't know whether it was a ministry building or his personal home, But God told him there was a certain property.
Ed Dufresne
That was his building was on it, and seven different people bought it and couldn't do a thing with it.
Debbie Dufresne
And he sat back and watched seven different people buy it and try to.
Ed Dufresne
Do something with it and couldn't.
Debbie Dufresne
Why?
Ed Dufresne
Because it's already sold.
Debbie Dufresne
In the spirit realm, there was a different. Just because you bought it in the natural doesn't mean the Spirit assigned that to you. Doesn't matter who's living in your house.
Ed Dufresne
Doesn't matter who's got your building.
Debbie Dufresne
You get full of what God said and it will come. Amen. But what does it come to?
Ed Dufresne
Those who have done the work of believing.

Episode: The Work Of Believing | Nancy Dufresne | Ladies Conference '19 | World Harvest Church | Murrieta, CA
Date: October 4, 2019
Speaker: Pastor Nancy Dufresne, with Ed and Debbie Dufresne
Main Theme: Understanding and practicing the “work of believing” as the key to experiencing God’s miraculous power in everyday life.
This episode, recorded during the 2019 Ladies Conference at World Harvest Church, centers on what Pastor Nancy Dufresne calls “the work of believing”—the biblical principle that the manifestation of miracles is deeply connected to faith, personal cooperation, and spiritual skillfulness. Pastor Nancy, with Ed and Debbie Dufresne, unpacks scriptural examples (from Moses to Blind Bartimaeus to Jesus’ miracles) illustrating that God’s miracles follow those who actively engage in faith, right believing, and right speaking rather than passive waiting.
Key topics include:
God is always ready to work miracles. However, believers must actively “turn aside” from the ordinary—as Moses did at the burning bush—to engage with God and recognize His movements.
Faith draws in the miraculous. Using examples like Blind Bartimaeus, the speakers stress that “God goes where faith puts Him.” (Ed Dufresne, 08:28) Bartimaeus’ persistent calling brought Jesus (and the miracle) to a stop.
Jesus identified believing as a work. Referencing John 6:28-29, Jesus was asked, “What must we do to do the works of God?” and replied, “This is the work of God, that you believe.” Believing is active, not passive.
But it's not hard work—unless we’re empty.
Miracles flow in proportion to our skill in working with God.
Corporate Skill: Practicing faith personally prepares the body to flow powerfully together corporately.
Vision of creative miracles: Pastor Nancy recounts a dream where she saw a man’s amputated legs growing back, highlighting that we need to “see” in the spirit before it manifests.
Call to spiritual seeing: The church is urged to make time for spiritual vision—“It’s time to see in the spirit realm… because they must be seen before people will believe for God to work them.” (Ed Dufresne, 61:34)
Prophetic encouragement: Mark this night! “Tonight marks a turning point… a marked time… when new things came to life in me.” (Guest Speaker, 94:34)
The importance of faith positioning
“God goes where faith puts Him.” (Ed Dufresne, 03:33 and 08:28)
On miracles passing by
“Every day miracles are coming to you or going past you… what determines whether they stop with you or go past you? Whether or not you turn aside to see.” (Debbie Dufresne, 06:25)
On skill in the miraculous
“It will flow to the degree of our skill.” (Ed Dufresne, 79:14)
On personal responsibility
“We determine the outcome. Circumstances can come, but the outcome of those circumstances rests with us.” (Ed Dufresne, 26:32)
Faith is not drama
“Faith people have no room for drama. No room.” (Ed Dufresne, 26:13)
The “workday” illustration
“There’s an order to the work... when you know what’s expected, it’s a joy to work. This is the work of believing: we know what’s expected of us.” (Debbie Dufresne, 41:08)
On moving with the Spirit
“Don’t just keep doing things like they have been done, but be open to what the Spirit says, how He directs.” (Debbie Dufresne, 72:28)
On marking transformational moments
“Tonight marks a turning point. …Today’s the day. This is the hour. Oh, a marked time. …Be sure, be certain and do not forget.” (Guest Speaker, 94:34)
On God’s provision
“Power meets movement… what God says to us is never a money issue. It’s always a faith issue.” (Debbie Dufresne, 105:17)
The tone throughout is passionate, practical, and deeply encouraging. Pastor Nancy and Ed Dufresne engage with the audience in warm, direct, and personal language, continuously returning to the central truth: Faith is not just a belief but a lifestyle, an active, disciplined, and Spirit-led stance that positions believers to experience God’s miracle-working power.
“The Work of Believing” episode is a profound call to believers to stop passively waiting for miracles and to start skillfully cooperating with God: through devotion to His Word (speaking and meditating), persistent faith, spiritual hunger, Spirit-led action, and being ready to “see” in the spirit before the natural manifestation. Miracles are available every day, but they come to those who recognize, respond, and move with God.
Memorable takeaway:
“Power meets movement. …What God says to us is never a money issue. It’s always, always a faith issue. It’s always an acting issue.” (Debbie Dufresne, 105:17)
Listener Application:
Keep God’s word in your mouth; meditate on it constantly; be Spirit-led in your actions—and be ready to see and move, for it’s time for miracles.
