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

Happy Dufresne
Thank you, Pastor Nancy. I asked Nancy if I could do this. This way. You can be seated. How many of you remember where you were 24 years ago on 9? 11. Let me see your hands. Some of you may not have even been born yet. That was 24 years ago. I was in my office watching the television, and when I saw the planes fly into the Twin Towers, and I called Jeanne at home, I said, turn on the television and see what's happening. We were deliberately unprovoked attack by terrorists in New York City. I immediately. We prayed, and I called my father, who was at the time living in Fort Myers, Florida. I mean, Melbourne, Florida. He was retired, and I was concerned that he might have been fearful or afraid. My father was of the greatest generation, according to Tom Brokaw. Well, I mean, that was the title of his book that he wrote, the Greatest Generation. If you hadn't read it, you should. And so I wanted to make sure he was okay. So I said, daddy, how you doing? He said, I'm fine. I said, can you tell me where you were the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor? He said, yes. He says, I was a freshman in Little Rock Junior College. He was 18 years old. And he said, we heard on the radio that America had been attacked again, unprovoked, unexpected, which resulted in an act of war that put this nation at the head of the spear for that generation to save the entire world. I said, well, Daddy, what did you do after you heard that it was true? Because they didn't have communication like they have today. He said, well, I did what we all did. Went down and enlisted. Before he shipped out, he and Mama eloped, got married, and he shipped out. And I was born nine months later. Now, you got to realize that's not unusual for a war generation. A lot of families did that, and a lot of kids were born because they did not know what their future beheld. Newlyweds, people that had no idea what was in their future. But it was that generation that saved America and saved the rest of the world. They had grit. And I listened to an interview with a World War II vet. He was 90 years old. He was in the D Day invasion. And they asked him, said, sir, did you not know that this was a suicide mission? He said, yes, we knew, but somebody had to do it. Somebody had to stand up, stand against this aggression. Amen. So this fits very well. I'd like to Pray. And, you know, we had another tragedy yesterday. Charlie Kirk, a very vocal Conservative young man, 31 years old, that's really impacting the youth of this country. And so I'd like to pray for America, the people of America, families that lost loved ones at 911 and for the family of Charlie Kirk. Father, we come to you today. We're thankful for our country. We're thankful that we have the ability to pray for all those in authority. And Father, we pray for those that lost loved ones at 9 11. We pray in remembrance of those that suffered, those that were killed, those that were wounded, but those that stood up and continued the fight. We thank you for your protection, that we've never been assaulted again. And we pray, Father, for Charlie Kirk's family and all those involved. We pray for his wife and his family. We pray for your peace that passes all understanding. And may Americans Everywhere today remember 9 11. In Jesus name, everybody said, amen. Now, as I introduced my pretty wife Jeannie this morning. And you know, Brother Copeland always says about Gloria that she's the prettiest girl out of Arkansas. And people have asked me, he said, how do you feel about that? When he said he married the prettiest girl out of Arkansas, I said, I have no problem with that. I said, my wife's from Tennessee. Come on. She's going to start with a song. Come on up, honey. She's going to start with a song that was written by Sharon Dorie in Tulsa, Oklahoma, called stand, you'd ground. It's a good time and a place for her to sing that song. And then her message this morning, she is going to teach you cannot stop an anointed woman. Give her a good hand.

- [10:34]
Jeannie Dufresne
This time. Well, I guess I better keep this. I need to keep this to teach.
- [10:52]
Happy Dufresne
Oh, you got a microphone.
- [10:54]
Jeannie Dufresne
Oh, that's. I do. I have a microphone. Okay. Well, hallelujah. I had to put my glasses on so I can see. Well, first of all, I'm gonna be teaching. As Happy said on youn can't stop an anointed woman. The secret of success for women to winner is what I'm going to tell you today. Amen. Amen. Well, in Galatians 3:28, it says there is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither bond or free. There is neither male nor female. For ye are all one in Christ Jesus. You know that women, we men, aren't better than us and we're not better than them. We're all in the one family of God. Amen. Amen. Now, if you are a born again, spirit filled woman of God, the anointing of the Holy Spirit is within you and upon you to do his will in this earth. Amen. All right. There is an anointing for your own personal life and to minister. And you have to have that to minister. Spend time With Jesus. And I think Pat brought all this to you, and so did Carolyn yesterday, because we all have been friends for many years, so we talk all the time when we go on vacation about the Bible. You know, I can remember when Pat, this was years ago, and she said, y', all, we were coming back from Sabre, and she said, y', all, I need y' all to pray for me for this whatever it was. I don't even know. But she said, I'm going to go to my room and I want y' all to go to your room. Do you remember that, Carolyn? I do, because it's when we were over and the very first time we used to go to Maui. No, we were in Honolulu then. And we'd go to our rooms and we began to pray and for whatever you were going through, you and Buddy at that time. But see, I don't forget those things. I remember those things, and I do remember that when she was teaching today. So anyway, you have to spend time with Jesus and anointed people, and that's what you're all doing here. You're all together in one accord. And we actually are a family now. Dr. Mary Ralphie said in Cure of All Evils, that in times of revival, men, women, boys and girls must become willing vessels for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and willing vehicles of expression. So I'm telling you, we have to be willing, express our love for God. And Pat did that this morning. You have to love people also by expressing your love to people. We serve God by serving people. We touch God by touching people. We exalt and praise God by lifting people. And that's exactly what we're doing, that now, when a wall discovers these principles. And I can also say men, because I didn't know this. It is a woman's conference, you know. So I was thinking more about women. But yet I know there are men here, so you can also take this. But anyway, when a woman or a man embraces and practices it in her life without permitting herself to be persecuted by racial, sexual, economic or religious opinions because she's learned the real secret of success for women who are winners, and that's it, you learn those principles. And Mother Teresa told friends of hers a dream. She was going to establish a place where despairing, hopeless lepers could be loved and could find some dignity, at least in their death. She was ridiculed by those who knew she had no money. She said, but I have two pennies, and with God and two pennies, one can do anything. Now, I'M telling you what. And she. I said, when I heard that, I thought that's great faith and what Compassion. Compassion is what always moved Jesus. When he had compassion. He went and helped those people, you know, and he would raise them up or whatever they had need of. Now we as unique individuals can choose to be what God has destined for us to be. We have a unique purpose. We are one of a kind. Now let's go to or. You can look in your Bible whenever, but make a note of it. But it's second Timothy and let me tell you something I learned about Timothy or the T's. Someone said, did you know that the New Testament, all the T's are right together? So you got Titus, first and second Timothy and what? Timothy? Yeah, first and second Timothy or what a notice. The second, first and second Thessalonians. So anyway, go to second Timothy now the first, first chapter and the ninth verse. Okay, well, my goodness. What in the world? Oh, okay, ninth verse. Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose, grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. And you think about that. Before the world began. This is exactly what he had intended for every bit of us. We have a holy calling in Christ Jesus and I thank him for it. Amen. Now even if you have little self love, self worth, because of your awareness of God in you, you'll start developing Christlike habits and it will make you be a vessel of honor. Just by thinking it and knowing that you have these things, you have self worth. Now, we are his handmaidens. And I know your brothers have other. I know we're handmaidens and we are a mighty army that he wants to use in this end time harvest. Now if you'll turn or you can make a note of it to Acts 2. I had my Bible open this morning. Happy came in. He said, what are you doing? I said, I'm going over my notes. I said, don't bother me. And it shall come to pass in these last days. We're in them now. I'm telling you we are. I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions. And your old men shall dream dreams. And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my spirit. And they shall prophesy. Glory to God. So we do have an opportunity to do that. Amen. All right. When a woman. I said this a while ago, but when they discover these things, they begin to walk in it. Now, Mother Teresa said that when women do this, they will what did I do with this here? They will be unique individuals. All right, now let me give you some Bible facts about you. You are an individual created by God in his image. That's found in general. Genesis 1:26. You're not an accident. You're an incident in the plan of God. Jeremiah 1:5. Choose to esteem the individual. You are thinking soberly about yourself. Romans 12:3. You are a happening to celebrate, not a mistake to incriminate. Genesis 1:31. You've been selected, not rejected. Jeremiah 1:5. Choose to believe you are a result of expert precise planning. Genesis 1:26. There is a distinct purpose for your life. Ecclesiastes 3, verse 1. So I tell you what, those are Bible facts about you as an individual, and you need to take them and go for it. Amen. Now, you know I sing a song called His Name is Life. Well in John 1:4 it says, in him was life, and that life was the light of man. His breath was life. That's when he gave his life for our life. In the very beginning when he did that. Well, no, that was in the very beginning. All right. His words were life, creation. His blood was life. That's in the redemption. His spittle was life. When he healed a little boy in Mark 7. His touch was life. And everyone knows that his touch was life. When you touch someone, you trust in them. Worshiping God causes you to touch him and trust him. Him. I'm telling you what, you can stand your ground when you know that. Amen. Now, Psalms 127:1 says, except the Lord build it or bless it, they labor in vain. However, we live in a world where people want to do their own things, no matter what God has to say about it. They want to do their own thing. But no matter what God has to say, they do it. And when they come up against a brick wall and everything goes wrong, they wonder where God is. But they're doing what they wanted to do. They bind the devil, but their problem has nothing to do with the devil. They've had a head on collision with the will of God for their lives. Now you can't blame God or anybody else around you. Have you ever heard that blame game? Everybody's blaming somebody else. Well, she made me do this, or he said, or she's saying he made me do this. Nobody wants to take account for their own self. But I'm telling you what, that's blame game. You're going to blame somebody else when something goes wrong, not yourself. And you may be the problem. You know, we say, it's not my fault. Well, we have to face truth and not blame our bad behavior or circumstances on the past or someone else. Hallelujah. Praise God. God looks at the present and here and now, and we have to point our finger to what we have to do and what we have to take the blame ourselves and be a winner for Him. Now I find out about the unknown and unknown and known will of God. Everybody knows their known will because it's written in the Bible. I mean, you can find out your husband or your family or your wife or your children, salvation, prosperity. That's all. The known will, the unknown will of God is something that you have to. You have to not pick up the Bible, but you just have to know in your heart. You find out his purpose by studying His Word. They'll know. Well, knowing his promises and renewing your mind. Now, Romans 12:2 says, Praying in the Spirit will help you to bring into your mind the mind of the Spirit. He will enlighten you as you pray in the Spirit. And, boy, I have found that to be true. I remember one time I lost my car keys, and I was searching everywhere for those keys, and I would say, lord, where are my keys? And then I'd pray in the Spirit and I'd look in every. I looked in every purse. I looked in everywhere and looked even in my car, see if I left them in the car. And I told Happy, I just don't know what I have done with those keys. And the Lord spoke to me and he said, they're in your robe pocket. He spoke to me. It was an audible voice. I mean, he said, they're in your robe pocket. I went, okay. So I went and looked in my robe pocket, and there they were. And then I remembered, you know, someone knocked on the door and I just put them in my robe pocket. You know, it was early in the morning and I left them there, you know. But then when I thought I had lost them, he said, they're in your old pocket. So I thank God for that. Okay? Now, as the world draws to an end, nations and individuals will be deceived in vast numbers. The word deceived according to the scripture, the description of every ungenerated person without distinction of race, culture or sex. In Titus 3:3, Paul said, We also were deceived. He was deceived as a religious man. He walked according to the law. He had to be, you know, realized, hey, You're a Pharisee, you know. And Jeremiah said, the heart is deceitful. 2nd Corinthians 4:4. He says, the God of this world has blighted the minds of the people so they won't be saved. Did you know even though we are saved, the devil still tries to deceive us? And I want to give you some examples of being deceived. You'd be surprised how many deceptions that there is. Man is deceived if he's a hearer and not a doer of the Word. James 1:20 Word of God. James 1:22. He is deceived if he says he has no sin. 1 John 1:8. He is deceived when he thinks himself to be sick, something when he's nothing. Galatians 6:3. He is deceived when he thinks himself to be wise with the wisdom of this world. First Corinthians 3:18. He is deceived by seeming to be religious with an unviable tongue which revealed his true nature. James 1:26. He is deceived if he thinks he'll sow and not reap what he sows. Galatians 6:7. He is deceived if he thinks the unrighteous will inherit the kingdom of God. First Corinthians 6:9. He is deceived if he thinks that contact with sin will not have its effect upon him. First Corinthians 15:33 In Matthew 24, Jesus told his disciples, take heed that no man deceive you. He's meaning that for us, too. You have to take heed that someone's not deceiving you. He wouldn't have told his disciples that if they could not have been deceived. It's a warning for us. The whole Bible's warning for us. I mean, the New Testament mainly, and God says some. And Jesus says some things in God, too, that you think is not really good, but it is good. It's good for you, you know? So anyway, we have to do what he's told us to do. Amen. Okay, let me share a testimony. Testimony about a woman from Benton, Arkansas. She came to one of our meetings one time with a bunch of ladies from Benton, Arkansas, and she was legally blind. That's what she had been told, and that's what she was when she was in the meeting. And I sang a song. She said, no, I found out that I went up to her and I said, someone told me that you were legally blind. I said, I can't believe you didn't come up and tell me. She said, I was afraid it would leave me. And she didn't even tell her husband going home, because she was afraid. But then she saw a sign. It was a yellow sign, which we know is McDonald's. We don't go there. But anyway, Carolyn knows she has cancer. And he said, well, how did you know it was a yellow sign? She said, because I saw it. She said, when Jeannie was singing, my eyes were opened and I saw for the first time. Well, I tell you what, I don't know of anything that blessed me more. I mean, to know that someone was legally blind and their eyes were opened. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now, I want to, first of all, about my salvation. We know I'm doing this reversed as everybody else, but in my testimony, I was a little girl, about nine years old, and we were at this church, and a man named Mr. Cook, Willie Cook, he got up and started sharing a testimony. And he said while he was talking, he began to. As he was sharing his testimony, he literally said, and God, fill my cup till it overflowed. Well, I was a little child, and I heard that he said, fill my cup till it overflows. Well, when we were growing up, our girl, we'd always. My sisters and I would get on our knees and say our prayers. We were taught, too. And I wasn't fortunate to have my mother and daddy like Buddy. I mean, like Pat was. But my father was always a godly man. His parents were missionaries and preachers of the gospel. So he's the one that got us in charge, you know. But anyway, I always loved him very much. But anyway, I know when I was praying, I said, lord, would you fill my cup till it overflows like you did Mr. Cook? I sat there and on my knees, and he didn't do anything. And I said, lord, would you fill my cup like you did Mr. Cook? So that my cup froze over. He still didn't do anything. So I said, lord, would you please fill my cup till it overflows like you did, Mr. Cook? And I mean to tell you, the power of God hit me on my hand cup, and it ran all the way down my body. Now, it made an impression on me, and I believe that is when I really was born again because of his presence and because I wanted him, you know? But I will say that when we went to another. We moved to another town and started going to church. And my sister Shirley was going up to get saved. So I just followed her all the way up, you know, And Shirley looked At me like, well, what is she doing here? You know? But I just wanted to be born again and saved and baptized, because I didn't. I had never been baptized. So anyway, I did that, and the preacher was looking at me so funny, but I just wanted to be born again, filled with the holy. Well, I was already filled with the Spirit, but baptized and become one with him. Amen. Amen. Okay, now, two spiritual dreams. The first dream was I was on Earth. Now, these were real dreams. They were spiritual dreams, and I've only had two, but they make an impact that you don't ever forget, you know. And I dreamed that I was on this earth and it was burning. You could tell it was the end time. And I was wringing my hand, I said, because there was. We were. I would go over, and there was just a mighty gulf. And Jesus was standing on the other side. It was just a mighty gulf there. In other words, I would fall. And I said, I want to go over. I said, but I'll fall. There's a mighty gulf there. And if I take a step, I'll fall. And he didn't say anything. And I'd just ring my hands because I didn't want to burn like all these other people. They were pulling their hair. I mean, it was real, you know what I'm saying? And all of a sudden, Jesus on the other side, he said, he had his hands down like this. He said, my daughter, he said, when you take a step, don't look down, don't look up. Don't look to the left or the right. Keep your eyes on me and you will make it. Well, with fear and trembling, I took a step and I thought, oh, hallelujah. But I walked all the way with thin air. I didn't do look down at all, but I would not take my eyes off of him because that's what he said. Keep your eyes on me and you'll make it. And I did. Hallelujah. And he grabbed me up and I grabbed him up, you know. Now, my second dream, it was powerful. I know as a child or a girl, I was like, where that was concerned. I really wanted to know Jesus and I really wanted to see him hold him. And I told that to the Lord, you know, I said, I really want to see you. I really want to hold you. And he said, well, oh, he was walking in my dream. And I woke up. I say, I woke up in my spirit. I woke up and I saw that we were in heaven. I saw the first girl that I ever witnessed to. I Didn't even hardly know what I was doing, but she wanted to know. And I witnessed to her. She was there. And she said, I just want to thank you for witnessing to me because I made it to heaven. And I said, well, wonderful. Then I went. Then I saw our son. He was sitting over by one of the river, you know, Must have been the river of life, you know, he was kind of playing in the water. And I said, but, God, I want to see you. You're the one that I've always wanted to see. So all of a sudden, he began to walk by. And I looked and he just kept walking. And I just watched him, you know, and I thought, what am I going to do? You know? But he just was walking and. Well, actually, he was walking toward me. That's why he was walking toward me. And his eyes, he had on white, and his hair was about down to here. And I could see his face while I couldn't see his face. It was kind of a word. What I did see was one eye. And don't think that didn't bother me until I started getting scriptures, because I thought one eye, but that one eye was powerful. Powerful. But anyway, so I began to walk. And he, first of all, had his hands like this. And when he saw me walking, he began to lift his hands up like this to welcome me. Well, in my own mind, I just wanted to grab him and hold him. But when I got just about six feet from him, he looked at me with that one eye. And I fell prostrate at his feet. And when I did, my hand touched his robe. And the power of God went through me so strong that it literally woke me up. I hated to be awake. But yet I've never forgotten that dream. I saw him. I beheld him, beheld his glory. And I tell you what, it changed my life. Everything about him will change your life. Hallelujah. Well, hallelujah. There's something else I've wanted. I hope I didn't forget it. I had so many. Oh, here it is. Okay. These are special distinctions about women in the New Testament. I know it's men, too, but you understand what we're doing. You can also take it for yourself. But this is for special women. And it's different when you find out that they were the first to do everything. Makes you kind of proud to be a woman, you know? But they were the first to anoint him. Luke 7, 37 and 38. And it says in parentheses, the symbol women. They took an alabaster box and washed his feet. With their tears. They were the last at the cross. Mark 15:37. That was Mary Magdalene. Mary and Mary, the mother of Jesus. Three women. Isn't that amazing that it wasn't men? I mean, I'm serious. But it was always women. Okay. They were the first at the tomb. John 20, verse 1. Mary Magdalene first to proclaim resurrection. Matthew 28:1. And that was Mary Magdalene. And the other Mary. I don't know who that was, really. I'm sure I could find out. Do you know? Okay. They were the first preachers to the Jews. First preacher to the Jews was Luke 2:36 and 38. And that was Anna. Y' all remember Anna. They attended the first prayer meeting. Acts 1:14. It said, Mary and women. First degree Christian missionaries. That would be Paul and Silas in Europe. And that was Acts 16:13. It's called the women then. The first European convert was in Acts 16:14. And that was Lydia. She was the seller of purple. So that's eight special distinctions about women that I think that we need to know and appreciate. Amen. Amen. Well, I think I'm about ready to close. What do you think, Hal?

Happy Dufresne
You know, many times Jeanne's been called a woman of faith and fortitude and these things that she shared with you, personal experiences.
- [43:28]
Jeannie Dufresne
Yeah.
- [43:28]
Happy Dufresne
And I think. I don't know if I heard you say this. When she wanted to touch Jesus, he said, at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
- [43:39]
Jeannie Dufresne
Oh, yeah, that was another time.
- [43:40]
Happy Dufresne
You can touch me then. And she said, but, Lord, everybody's going to want to be touching you. She said, how can I touch you with all the multitudes? He said, at the marriage supper, I will personally serve you, and you can touch me then. Her relationship with Jesus is what has kept her through all of the things that she's encountered in life. On a cold, rainy October morning, 88, we were both preparing for our classes that we taught in our Bible school. The phone rang. It was her uncle. At that time, he was the president of Auburn University. And he said, I'm flying through Little Rock and I've got a layover come out. Let's have some coffee. We did not want to go. We loved him. All of her daddy's people, her uncles, were all college presidents, and they're all from Mississippi. They talked with that. I love that accent. He came to see us one day. Now, this is the president of a college. He comes in with a garbage bag full of vegetables from his garden. He says, happy, I brought you some vegetables. You know, everybody in Mississippi's got two names. Mary Ruth, Billy Carroll. You know all that name. Well, we didn't want to go. We didn't want to hurt his feelings. So we let him talk us into it. We got in the car and left in the middle of one of the four lane thoroughfares in Little Rock. Our car just stopped, just quit. We found out later it was one of the first models that they put a computer chip in. And the computer chip failed and shut the whole car down. Behind us was a tire truck. He did not see us, and he hit us in the rear, knocked the car 38ft. We were laying in the back seat. When we came to, our feet were on the dash. It knocked my watch off my arm. It was an impact that we'd never experienced before.
- [46:04]
Jeannie Dufresne
Shoes off our feet, too.
- [46:05]
Happy Dufresne
Knock the shoes off of our feet. Okay. We came to and Jeannie says, oh, she had pain in her back, long story short, took her to the emergency room. They x rayed her. Doctor came in and said, you, back is broken in three places. We need to do surgery immediately. And she said, and they took me down to see the X rays. She said, no, I'm not having surgery. I'm not paralyzed now, and I don't want you cutting on my back now. That's the fortitude and the faith. So they didn't know what to do. So I said, I'm going to call my friends and asked them to pray. We're in the hospital room. She's laying there in the bed. They told her not to move her head, not to lift her head off the pillow. She could sever her spinal cord. And so I called Jerry and Carolyn. They immediately got on a plane and came to Little Rock and stayed with us for a couple of days. I called Brother Copeland, called Brother Hagin. You know, I learned something about ministers. They all pray according to their anointing. Brother Copeland, Brother Hagin said, well, we agree with her in the name of Jesus. Charles Capps, Dennis Burke. Different ones came, but it was Brother Roberts that called while she was laying there. And I had called him, but he wasn't there. Secretary had him call back and he said, happy, what's this I hear about Jeanne being in a car wreck? So I told him he immediately went into the spirit and started praying in tongues. Well, I thought that would really edify Jeanne. So I just stuck the phone in her ear so she could hear him praying in tongues. And then he stopped and he started talking to her. And she said, happy, he wants to talk to you. She gave me the phone. He said, happy, I Am here with Evelyn, my darling and wife Evelyn. I'm here with Evelyn, and I want to pray for Jeannie. But I want you to put your hand under her back. And I'm going to put my hand on Evelyn's back. And he started praying in tongues, and he started praying in English. And they'd been giving her pain shots every four hours. I had my hand on her back, and I felt bones moving.

Jeannie Dufresne
Yes, I felt it, too.

God was adjusting and healing her back. He did right as he prayed. Now, this is the funny part. When he finished praying, this is fortitude. He said, tell Jeannie to lift her head off the pillow. Well, the doctors had told her not.
- [49:13]
Jeannie Dufresne
To move, and the nurse plastered her.
- [49:16]
Happy Dufresne
And the nurse was plastered against the wall. Listen to all this. Oral said, tell her to lift her head off the pillow. So I said, honey, Oral said, but she lifted her head off the pillow.
- [49:39]
Jeannie Dufresne
I sure did.
- [49:41]
Happy Dufresne
He said, now tell her to sit up. I said, honey, Oral, sin. I mean, I'm not dumb. I'm. That's smart. It was his faith and her fortitude and her faith. She sat up. He said, now tell her to swing her legs off the side of the bed. And again I said, oral, Sid. And then he told her to stand up. She stood up again. Every time I'd say, honey, oral Sid. And she stood up. Now, can you imagine the faith in fortitude? But she has a book called My Faith. Trusting in God's Faithfulness. She knew God going to let her down and she was going to be healed. And so she was healed of the back in her. The pain in her back immediately, totally. But then let me tell you what Oral said, and this was very interesting, and I didn't understand this for years later until I heard him tell this story. He then said for her, get back into bed and not go back in her mind, but stay in the spirit. Which she did. Well, when she refused the surgery, they sent her home. I did not. She was in hospital a week, and then they sent her home when we got home. Now, she didn't tell me this, no, But God spoke to her and said, go home and lay in the bed flat on your back for 30 days and then get up. She didn't tell me that, you know, we had a hospital bed moved in. I moved into the other bedroom. But she had a little bell that she would ring when she needed me. Now, see, I didn't know this. On the 30th day, I walked in there, and she said, happy, this is the day of my deliverance. And the day of my jubilee, and I'm getting up, so I helped her up. And of course, she's been up ever since. Now, that was 1988. Well, I didn't understand why Earl said, go home. Get back in bed. And, you know, a lot of people would say, oh, well, I wasn't healed. Or, why did God delay this? Or what took so long? Or he said, go home, lay in bed, but don't go back into your mind. Stay in the spirit. When Oral was a young man, he had tuberculosis. And brother Sumrall had the same disease. A lot of people in that generation had tuberculosis. And his brother Vaden took him to a tent meeting, a healing revival, and he got healed of tuberculosis and his stuttering. And he came home, and he just started his normal activities. But his mother noticed that he was tired and weak, and she noticed that he was sagging and drooping. So she said, oral, you go back into the house and you get in bed. Your body's been healed, but it needs to be restored. The strength needs to come back into it. You go in the house and lay in the bed. But she said this. Do not pull the covers over your head. Lay on top of the bed. Because she didn't want him to go back. Go back into that sick mindset. And that's why he told Jeannie, you go home and lay in the bed for 30 days, and then get up. And she did, and she's been up ever since. Hallelujah. Faith and fortitude. Faith is one thing, fortitude is another. Fortitude is stepping out of the boat. Fortitude is stepping off the cliff. You got faith. Hallelujah. Now, do you want to pray for people and.

Jeannie Dufresne
Or if they want me to pray for them, I will.
- [54:21]
Happy Dufresne
Okay. You want to minister in song while you pray for them?
- [54:23]
Jeannie Dufresne
I might. I think I mentioned the anointing to somebody.
- [54:30]
Happy Dufresne
Yeah, we carry. We carry an orchestra with us, sits back there.
- [54:35]
Jeannie Dufresne
Cause you never know. But I think it'd be easy if anybody wants to come up.

But her message was, stand your ground. An anointed woman cannot be defeated. All through our life together, our marriage, we've been married 55 years. And all the ministry life, everything in the family, all her life, she's been that way. And we had known Jimmy and Francis Swaggart for many years ago. And when Jimmy passed this last month and there was testimony about his life and so forth, well, we knew that Francis was also part of his power, his anointing, because when he first started singing and playing, he did not think that he could do anything. He said, people are not going to buy my records. There's nobody that wants to hear me play. Well, the whole complex that he built down there in Baton Rouge was record sales money. He never took any of the money himself. He put it back into the ministry, and he built that whole complex in a worldwide ministry. At one time, he was on television in a hundred nations. But it was Francis that always said to him, jimmy, you have a gift. You have an anointing, and people want to hear your music. Oh, hallelujah. And so she pushed him. She encouraged him. Behind every great man, there's a woman pushing him. You know, Hallelujah. Okay, you want to stand your ground. You want a little push from God, a little help to, you know, get you up out of the ditch or. I was laying on the floor one day, just exhausted. First early in the ministry, and I told Jeanne, I said, listen, anybody calls, just tell them I'm exhausted. I can't come to the phone. I'm laying on the floor. I did, and I was praying, lord, please heal me. Please heal me. Please heal me. He said, there's nothing for you to be healed of. You did this to yourself. Charles Capps and I were good friends. And Charles called on the phone. He wanted me to go fishing. And she said, he can't go. He's exhausted. I want to say, don't tell him.

Jeannie Dufresne (singing)
That.
- [57:20]
Happy Dufresne
But you do that to yourself. What?
- [57:22]
Jeannie Dufresne
He was a man of words?
- [57:23]
Happy Dufresne
Yeah, he was a man of words. Okay. If you want her to pray for you, you're going to sing the Anointing.
- [57:33]
Jeannie Dufresne
Yeah, sure.
- [57:35]
Happy Dufresne
And it's the anointing that destroys the yoke. And you can be healed wherever you're sitting or coming up here or when she touches you. We have, what, 20 minutes till lunch? Oh, my Lord. Only a few people in this room understand what that means.
- [58:00]
Jeannie Dufresne
Our friends, that we always went to Hawaii.
- [58:03]
Happy Dufresne
So, ushers, if you would just work with her. You know, she doesn't take a long time. It's the anointing that destroys the yoke. But you got blessed with the message of stand your ground and anointed woman. Amen.
