Podcast Summary: "We Have Everything In Christ" — Nancy Dufresne | Campmeeting 2025 | Tuesday AM

Dufresne Ministries Podcast
Date: June 11, 2025
Speaker: Pastor Nancy Dufresne
Theme: Understanding, possessing, and living out the fullness of what believers have “in Christ,” focusing on truth, faith, and the practical outworking of God’s promises, regardless of circumstances or symptoms.

Episode Overview

In this Campmeeting 2025 message, Pastor Nancy Dufresne passionately teaches on the reality that believers already have everything they need "in Christ." She unpacks how faith, speech, and focus on scriptural truth enable Christians to walk in health, abundance, and victory—contrasted against the subtle lies of the enemy, symptoms, and natural circumstances. Drawing from biblical narratives, her own experiences, and powerful testimonies from faith leaders like Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland, she encourages listeners to root themselves in what God has truly said and to act from the position of already possessing God's promises.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Reality of the “Finished Work” in Christ

• Opening Context (00:00–02:36)

  • Nancy begins by recalling a teaching from Kenneth Hagin: "People talk about dying to self. He said, 'You don't have to die to self. The old man's dead.' You're talking about not letting the flesh rule you." (00:28)

  • Practical aspect: Present your body to God by the Spirit and not to the flesh or sin.

2. The Power of Words—Truth vs. Lies

• Proverbs 12: The Tongue of the Wise is Health (02:36–06:09)

  • The context is speaking truth vs. lies and how it directly impacts health.

  • “How you use your tongue is going to show up... How you use your tongue, specifically regarding speaking the truth or speaking lies, is going to arrive in our health.” (03:07)

  • “Symptoms come to try to flip your tongue from truth to lies. Symptoms are nothing but a temptation—to be sick.” (04:31)

  • The fight of faith is not against the devil; it's a fight to hold on to truth. Even one letter off, as illustrated by Dad Hagin's “get” vs. “got” testimony, changes standing in truth. (09:10)

3. Discerning the Lord’s Body

• 1 Corinthians 11: Not Discerning the Lord’s Body (06:09–07:55)
  • “For this cause”—failing to discern what Jesus has already accomplished causes “many” to be weak, sickly, or die prematurely.
  • Symptoms are “liars” trying to twist believers out of their stance in Christ.

4. Jonah’s Example—Observing Lying Vanities

• Jonah 2:8 Application (12:41–17:08)
  • Even when trapped in the belly of a whale, Jonah called his situation a "lying vanity," refusing to let it define God's mercy over him.
  • “If he would have given up hope, he would have been digested. But he did not give up hope, even with seaweed wrapped around his head.” (15:28)
  • In the New Covenant, our “sacrifice” is praise—speaking the truth, especially when facing symptoms or lack. (17:08)

5. Lies in Areas of Provision as Well as Healing

• “It’s not money that makes you rich. It’s in Christ. He was made Poor that I might be made rich.” (18:06)
  • Don’t strive to “get” prosperity; acknowledge you are rich in Christ, and material provision will follow.

6. Fighting the Right Fight

• What You Observe & Comply With (20:38–24:00)
  • "Those who observe lying vanities forsake their own mercies.” (Jonah 2:8)
  • What you put your attention on, you comply with—apply this to health, provision, and peace.
  • Illustration about supplements: Faith subtly shifts if you fear being without them. Test whether your reliance has shifted from God to man’s methods.

7. Testimonies: The Power of Right Believing

• Kenneth Hagin & Healing (09:10–12:41, 26:54–28:36)
  • Stories of symptoms returning after healing—one woman died believing the symptoms, though no sickness was found; the other stood firm that she was healed and remained healthy.

8. The Importance of Right Confession & Avoiding Manipulation

• Personal Testimony—Airplane Provision (49:07–61:00)
  • Nancy shares how for 10 years, she maintained her confession based on what God told her: “Someone will give you an airplane.” But God corrected her—do not focus confession on “someone,” but on the Giver: “God gave me an airplane.” (57:27)
  • Faith is not attached to natural avenues or manifestations, but to God's Word. Once God speaks, it is given.

9. Hearing/Receiving from God & Acting in Faith

• “Faith doesn’t focus on the manifestation. It focuses on what’s given... Once God has given it, it’s a done deal.” (62:15)
  • Don’t attempt to “confess into existence” what God hasn’t specifically said to you; faith is attached to what God has already said and given.
  • All success in the Christian life comes from hearing and obeying— not agreeing with others, not focusing on circumstances.

10. Scriptural Promises: What’s Already Been Given

• Key Verses & Affirmations (70:08–76:50)

  • Various scriptures assert that God has already given believers faith, the Holy Spirit, wisdom, everlasting consolation, a sound mind, the divine nature, and all sufficiency (e.g., 2 Corinthians 9:8, 2 Peter 1:2–4).

  • “I always have. I always have. I’ll never be without. I don’t care what the bank account looks like. I always have.” (76:50)

11. Protecting Your Faith & Company

• Avoid partnering/fellowshipping with people who regard (“comply with”) lying vanities, as it undermines your trust in God (Psalm 31:6; 30:24).
• Illustration: Korah, Dathan, and Abiram in Numbers 16 accused Moses and ultimately God; their judgment resulted from shifting into lies because of the passage of time.

12. Receiving by the Spirit, Not Just by Confession

• Receiving in the Spirit (87:29)
  • “Faith is only dealing with the invisible... Faith only deals with words—God’s words.”
  • You receive what God has said in your spirit, and “once you receive it with your spirit, it’s a done deal. Now it’s just walking it out day by day.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the tongue and believing:
  “Symptoms come to try to flip your tongue from truth to lies. Symptoms are nothing but a temptation—to be sick. But we’re not the sick, so we reject that temptation to be sick.” — Nancy Dufresne (04:31)

• On subtlety of the enemy:
  “One letter in a word changed everything from a lie to a truth… The devil doesn’t need the whole sentence, just one letter.” — Nancy Dufresne (10:00)

• On Jonah’s faith in crisis:
  “He [Jonah] still would not give up the truth. 'I will not observe a lying vanity, because if I do, there’s no more mercy for me. I can’t receive mercy when I embrace a lie, no matter how tangible, no matter how I feel it.’” — Nancy Dufresne (15:28)

• On provision:
  “It’s not money that makes you rich. It’s in Christ. He was made Poor that I might be made rich... Because I am the rich, my bills are paid in Christ.” — Nancy Dufresne (18:06, 19:43)

• On proper focus for faith:
  “Leave out the middleman… Focus on, ‘God gave me an airplane.’ He already gave it. He already gave it when he said it is when it’s given. Not when it shows up.” — Nancy Dufresne (57:27)

• On manifestations versus believing:
  “Faith doesn’t focus on manifestation. It focuses on what’s given. Faith is attached to what’s given. And you know what’s given by what God said.” — Nancy Dufresne (62:15)

• On company and influence:
  “Get away from people who regard lying vanities because it will bleed into your [belief system]... You can’t have fellowship with people who easily shift from the truth.” — Nancy Dufresne (30:24)

• On acting in faith:
  “God will not force you into a movement you don’t make. You have to initiate the movement. And he will complete the movement in Christ.” — Nancy Dufresne (45:54)

• On the sufficiency in Christ:
  “I always have, always have. I’ll never be without. I don’t care what the bank account looks like. I always have.” — Nancy Dufresne (76:50)

Conclusion: Core Takeaways

• In Christ, everything is already given: Healing, provision, soundness, peace, wisdom.
• Truth is non-negotiable: Even the tiniest deviation opens the door to lies, symptoms, or lack.
• Fight to remain in what God has already said; don’t shift based on symptoms, circumstances, or the passing of time.
• Faith acts on the Word, not on natural evidence or “avenues”—once God says it, it is done.
• Surround yourself with people who value and reinforce the truth.
• Receiving is of the spirit; manifestations follow faith.

"In Christ I have it. In Christ I can do it. I'm not trying to do it as me—it's all in Him."
