Key Discussion Points & Insights
Faith and Miracles: Our Role (00:16 – 06:00)
- Oral Roberts Quote: “Every day miracles are coming to you or going past you.”
- Miracles don’t depend on God’s willingness alone, but on our ability to recognize His movement and lay hold of what He offers.
- The story of blind Bartimaeus is an example of active faith: his determined calling out to Jesus stopped Him on His journey.
- Quote: “God goes where faith puts him... People are waiting for God to find them and dump something on them... but God goes where faith puts him.” (Nancy Dufresne, 05:45)
- If people around you don’t know what you’re believing for, “you're not calling right.”
The Importance of “Calling” Your Inheritance (06:01 – 12:30)
- Miracles and supply must be actively called for—they do not automatically arrive.
- Life and death are influenced by what we say; incorrect speech pushes supply away, while faith-filled words draw it near.
- Analogy: “If I call my two dogs and only one shows up, I keep calling... Your faith can believe for more than one thing at a time—keep calling till all the supply, all the answers show up.” (Nancy Dufresne, 09:15)
- God authorizes believers to initiate His movement by faith—He is always moving, looking for someone to believe and call on Him.
Thinking Right: Receiving Your Inheritance (12:31 – 16:40)
- Colossians 1:12—Believers are enabled to be “partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.”
- Inheritance as God’s children includes freedom, supply, healing, and peace. It is already available, not something to strive for.
- Quote: “It's not enough for a hungry man to stand in front of the window of a bakery and see what is available. If he can't reach it, he stays hungry.” (Nancy Dufresne, 15:42)
- Thanksgiving is the key to partaking, not striving or begging: “I'm giving thanks that he has already provided an inheritance. Therefore I choose to take the steps to partake.”
Already Delivered: Understanding Spiritual Authority (16:41 – 24:00)
- Colossians 1:13: “He has delivered us from the power of darkness.”
- All forms of lack, fear, unbelief, sickness, etc., have no legal control over the believer.
- Quote: “We're not trying to get free from the power of darkness. This passage said, he has already delivered us from the power of darkness.” (Nancy Dufresne, 22:42)
- The enemy works through ignorance. If we fail to know and claim our freedom, we remain subject to oppression.
Testimony & Practical Application (24:01 – 27:30)
- Nancy recalls a personal testimony—facing a large unexpected tax bill after her husband’s passing:
- Instead of panicking, she declared, “Father, I did not expect this, but it doesn’t catch you off guard. The supply is already prepared... I receive what’s already prepared for me.” (Nancy Dufresne, 25:10)
- As she stood in faith, the bill miraculously decreased with each notice, affirming God’s supply.
- Faith is a matter of the heart agreeing with God, not just wishing or hoping.
Living the Delivered Life: Out and In (27:31 – 28:06)
- Not only are believers delivered out of darkness, they are translated into the “kingdom of his dear Son”—a realm of supply, peace, and victory.
- Quote: “God didn’t just deliver us out of the wrong thing. He delivered us into the best thing... I’m out and I’m in.” (Nancy Dufresne, 27:55)
- Knowing your new position affects how you approach life’s difficulties.
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
- On Miracles:
- “Every day miracles are coming to you or going past you. It’s not up to the miracle whether it stops—it’s up to the one who needs the miracle.” (03:45)
- On Faith:
- “Let’s have a competition where we out-call each other, where our faith is moving so avidly and purposefully that I can’t even hear thoughts of worry.” (04:55)
- On Inheritance:
- “All that is mine is yours... That’s representative of our standing and our position with our Father.” (13:52)
- On Deliverance:
- “We’re not trying to get free from the power of darkness—he has already delivered us. Darkness has no more power over me.” (22:43)
- “Once you agree with God, the struggle is over.” (23:31)
- On Testimony:
- “The supply is already prepared for what I hold in my hand. I receive it. I’m not receiving it because money showed up, I’m receiving it because of what I know.” (25:17)
- Closing Thought:
- “I am out from underneath the dominion of the kingdom of darkness. And I am in the kingdom of his dear son—the kingdom of supply. I’m already in it.” (27:50)

Summary Takeaway
Pastor Nancy Dufresne passionately teaches that believers need to shift from striving for freedom and answers to recognizing and claiming their already-given inheritance in Christ. The core, repeated lesson: through right thinking, thanksgiving, and assertive faith, we “call in” and partake of what’s already ours—be it deliverance, healing, or provision. The enemy’s strategies are nullified by knowledge and agreement with God’s Word. The episode is both a practical guide and a stirring encouragement to live as delivered, supplied, and victorious people, fully aware of their position in God’s kingdom.
