Good. That's good. Well, I'm going to read just in case you don't know much about her. She has a lot to say and has quite a history of ministry. 40 years in ministry. Right. And praise God. She has pastored World Harvest church in California, 25 years, traveling now nationwide. I think she's known for her miracle crusades. I think we like that. As well as her teaching on tv. She is the president of Dufresne Ministries as well as president of World Harvest Bible Training Center. And so Nancy is also the president of Fresh Oil Fellowship, a ministerial organization. She's respected author. And I think I asked you last night's 20 some books I think out there now. So if you haven't read all of them, we'll have some out there for you. But she is known for her simple, clear teaching. I really like that. Very clear, very simple, practical teaching. And so would you stand?

Pastor Gary
Thank you. Love you. Thank you for having me. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you. Hallelujah. Good morning. Good morning. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. I want to say a great big thank you. We've gotten to see your Pastors at different locations, especially around the KCM headquarters. We've been there doing victory thon and different events together at Southwest Believers. And it's just such a delight to get to spend a little bit of time with you during these meetings. So thank you so much. And can I claim that family? Yes. Okay. Okay. Good, good, good. Thank you. And we're just glad to be here with you and your. Your pastors are such a delight. Congratulations on finding this place and plugging in. Amen. Hallelujah. If I could say it this way, this way. You cut me, I bleed. The local church. I love the local church because that's where God's body gathers to know him better and to move with him. And, and so thank God that you have a local church. Amen. And it's just an honor. So, Father, we thank you today. These services, they're for your glory, Jesus. You told dad Hagin I have a plan for every service. So, Father, we're here for that plan today. And both of these stories, services this morning. We thank you that these services are intended because it's your plan, that the needs of the people get met. Questions get answered. Light comes, revelation comes. And we thank you, Father, that as we receive of your plan, Father, we say we've come to respond to your plan, that we respond to your word. We take it in. We're hungry for your word. And we thank you for that word that has taken our life and it sets it on course. And we thank you for accurate steps. And we believe you today, Father, for words. Words that bring heaven to earth. And we thank you for the honor of being here together. We're so grateful today to call you Father. We're so grateful to be called your people, your children. And Father, we want you to know you are our greatest pleasure. You are our greatest enjoyment. And you are our greatest desire. And everybody said amen. Turn around to three or four people before you're seated. Give them a great big God bless you, then you can be seated this morning. Okay. It's like I have multiple sermons. Which one should I go with? I. I'm not teasing. I have. I always carry multiples. And I, I'm just so grateful for the word, aren't you? I was sitting at Southwest Believers Conference several years ago, and if you've ever been to one, it's an all day event, all week event, all life event. And it's a wonderful, wonderful week. And while I was in the services, I received a communication from somebody and somebody I had known for. Oh, my goodness. I'd known for over 40 years, and they asked me for a favor. They asked me for a financial favor. They were in a difficult spot financially, and they asked me to do something for them financially. And this was the second time they had asked that in a close amount of time. And I helped them the first time, and it was significant help. And they asked me again, and I just had it in mind.

Nancy Dufresne
Mm.

Pastor Gary
I don't think I'm going to do it this time, but I always, always check my spirit. And so I said, God, what do you say about this? And he said, I want you to help them. And I said, okay. And he said, they had enough faith to call you, and I will honor that measure of faith. He said, but you have enough faith to receive from me. Amen. We can. God will allow us to live at the level where we're pulling on people or we're pulling on him. I choose him, right? But he said, but they have enough faith. They had not been taught the things that we've been taught that you've been taught sitting in this church. And. And he said, they had enough faith to ask you, and I will honor that. So he said, I blessed you, so you bless them. And I said, okay. So I did. I just sat there in the service, and I texted my financial gal, and I said, because she handles my personal finances as well. I said, you wire this money into their account. And so I obeyed God. And when I did that, I'm sitting here in the eternal services of Southwest Believers Conference. You know, anybody been there? You know, you know, just get your big boy pants on, you know, and be prepared for the long run, and that's good. And so I'm sitting there and Brother Copeland is up preaching, and I'm not hearing a word he's saying, because this. The devil said to me, he said, you have just now put yourself in a very difficult financial spot. Because naturally speaking, when I helped them financially, it took me to one of the lowest places I had been financially in resources in a while. And you heard Pastor held up the book. Answer it. That's the way I live. I answer it. I don't think it. I say it. You cannot out think the devil. You cannot think his thoughts away. You answer them. If words are going around your head. Have you ever seen in cartoons, they'll hit the guy on the head with a hammer and the birds fly in a halo around his head, and they just keep going. The devil only has to say it once because there's a momentum with those words, and they Just keep moving. And they circle in tighter and tighter and tighter on that mind, and they're trying to get in so that you'll receive it not only into your mind, but into your spirit and corrupt your faith. And how do you. The devil only has to say it once. Because those words carry momentum. Because all words carry momentum. And you can't outthink them. You can't try to think them away. You have to speak and stop the momentum of those words. Your words stop contrary words. So the devil said to me, he said, you've just now put yourself in a very difficult financial spot by helping those people. And I answered it, why? Because those words aren't living with me. I don't live with the devil's words. He lives with mine, but I don't live with his. And I said, I never put myself in a difficult financial spot obeying God. Never. No such thing. So he said it again, and I said it again. Why? Because I answer it. And he just kept saying it. And this went on for 30 minutes. And I answered it for 30 minutes. I didn't hear a word Brother Copeland was saying. Because I'm being a doer of the word sitting on that chair, you know, And I'm just answering, you have to learn to answer. And can I say this answer specifically, not generally, because when people answer generally, it's because they generally don't know much. You have to answer specifically. You know, God did not. God does not just speak generally. He speaks very specifically. When he at creation, he didn't just step out and say everything, be. He took one day at a time and was very specific with each day. And faith is specific. I remember the testimony of Paul Yongi Cho when he started his church in Seoul, Korea, decades ago. And the best way to get around there in Korea was not a car, because it was so congested. And cars would just sit in the road, you know, just bogged down in traffic. The best way to get around was a bicycle. And so he had parishioner, you know, he had his parishioners scattered all throughout the region. And he said, God, I need to be able to visit my congregation members. And he said, he didn't have a car, of course. And he said, it's too much to walk, takes too long. He says, I need a bicycle. And so he was just learning the principles and the truths of faith. And so he released his faith for a bicycle. And about three months later, he still didn't have a bicycle. And he said, God, I released my faith for a bicycle three months ago. What's taking you so long? Because, see, faith expects right. And God said, you never said what kind you wanted. He said, I want a red Schwinn bicycle. And within a couple of days, he had a red Schwinn bicycle. What am I saying this? We think if we're. If we're too detailed, it makes it harder for God. It makes it easier because faith is very specific. Amen. So when you answer the devil and he threatens you, you're going to lose your home. Don't just say, the Lord loves me. That's not the answer to that. The Lord does love you, but you have to answer specifically the threat. Amen. And that is key because faith is specific. It knows what God's. It knows what it believes. It knows what God will do. And so I answered specifically when the devil said, you've just put yourself in a very, very bad financial spot. I said, oh, no, I haven't, because I never put myself in a bad financial spot. Obeying God. Never. Not possible. So don't you think that's the right answer? Yeah, it's the right answer. But I noticed it. It went on for 30 minutes. I don't normally go on for 30 minutes with that. And I recognize I'm missing something. If you're standing your ground and you're not getting the result, you should, it's because you need greater wisdom. Wisdom is the principal thing. So don't just keep doing something and it's not getting the result. Go to God and say, what's the specific answer? What do I need to know? Because I want you to know this. We can't just answer on autopilot. We have to answer by revelation. What do I mean by that? You can't just give the same old answer because in the sense of God's taking you into greater light, he wants you to come further in your understanding. And that's going to be reflected in how you deal with opposition. And that means you can't just not advance spiritually and just go back to your same old standard answer. God is bringing us into greater revelation because we need to use it. Remember, Jesus walked up him and the disciples came by boat over to the other side. And what met him on the other side? The madman of Gadara. And this madman, demon possessed came up. And Jesus, it said, Jesus said to him, what's your name? Listen, you don't converse with the devil. But what's Jesus doing? He had wisdom about something. He said, what's your name? And it said, for he had commanded the Spirit to come out. What's that mean? He commanded, and it didn't come out. He commanded and it didn't come out. So he said, what's your name? He had to have greater wisdom. God evidently said, you got to know his name and his number. He couldn't just give the general answer. He spoke generally. And when what he did generally wasn't enough, further revelation came and said, you have to know his name and number. So Jesus said, what's your name? He said, my name is Legion, for we are many. The name Legion is the number. It means anywhere from 2 to 2000 a legion. So what's that mean? He had to answer more specifically. And sometimes when you're answering and the devil is not, if it's not getting the result the word should be getting, it's because you need greater revelation, greater wisdom. So I'm sitting there, I'm getting here to a point. Are you still with me? Okay, so I'm answering this opposition as I'm sitting there at Southwest Believers, but it just is continuing. So I know this. I'm missing it. God's wanting me to know something more to give in my answer. So after 30 minutes, God interjected, because I wasn't asking God, what am I missing? What am I leaving out? And God said this to me as I'm sitting there. He said, if you would just learn to live in my presence, you wouldn't even have to listen to that. Ah, what was he saying? You're too accessible to the threats of the enemy. What's that mean? You're not taking your place, the highest place, in my presence. Now, would you go with me to Psalm chapter 91? And I'm going to read this out of the Amplified Classic translation. If you have a device that you can pull up the Amplified Classic, do that. If you don't have the Amplified Classic, just listen to how this reads Psalm 91. And I'm going to start with verse seven. Of course, we could go a long ways in Psalm 91, couldn't we? But let's just. Let's limit ourselves, Nancy. Let's limit myself and just go to certain verses. Psalm 91, verse 7, it says this. A thousand may fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. What's this mean? You're going to see people fail, but that's not your failure. And don't think you're going to fail just because someone else failed. Amen. Look at the next verse. Only a spectator shall you be yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the most high. This is what God was saying to me. He said, the problem is you're troubled by these words because you're too accessible to them. He said, if you would just live in my presence, you wouldn't even have to listen to that low level talk. How many of you know the devil is low level? Why? We are far above, we've been raised and seated. Far above all principality and power and might and dominion. Amen. How many of you know that the blood of Jesus gives us full access to the presence of God? God said something to me several years ago. He said, living in my presence does not come by earning, it comes by turning. What do I mean by earning? I don't have to pray long enough to earn his presence. I don't have to read my Bible long enough to earn his presence presence. What's this mean? He is so available to me. I don't read my Bible to earn something from him. I read my Bible to find out, oh, he's already made mine. I'm not diminishing reading the Bible. I'm talking about that we don't earn something by our devotional life. That God said to me, he said, living in my presence does not come by earning, it comes by turning. And he said, no one has ever turned toward me and me not met them there in the turning. So what's this mean? When you get up in the morning, turn. Turn your attention, turn your focus toward him. Know this, that anytime there is advancement that God has for you. How many of you know that everything with God is more right? That he's always looking to increase us, advance us, promote us, bring us into more. But how many of you know the devil is not all knowing? Don't give him too much credit. He is not all knowing. But the devil is in the spirit realm and he can see movement and activity over your life by God in the spirit realm. The devil can see angels moving over your life in the spirit realm because he's in the spirit realm. So he just reads the spirit realm and can know something about God is working to bring you into something more. He can see accelerated activity around your life. So what's he do? He's not all knowing. He doesn't know it all. He just watches what God is doing. He observes what God is doing in the spirit realm toward your life. And his whole thing is just throw up smoke screens, throw up blockades, try to interfere with that advancement. He doesn't know that you're being advanced, except he's already Seen God's movement over your life advancing. Does that make sense to you? And so the devil will launch at times of advancement, times of promotion. Not because he knows what God's doing. He doesn't know all God knows, but he just sees movement and he just starts moving. And have you ever noticed that at a time of increase, a time that God is trying to bring you into more, you might not be aware that he's trying to bring you into into more, but all of a sudden there's a bombardment of condemnation, a bombardment reminding you of your faults, your failures, your weaknesses. What's the devil trying to do? He's trying to get you to turn up on yourself, trying to accuse yourself. Why? He wants to paralyze your face so you won't have faith to move with God into the promotion he's trying to bring you into. So anytime there seems to be an acceptance acceleration of condemnation against your life, the accuser, the brethren, is, if I could say this, he's reading the spirit realm. And so the Devil, by the Word, lets us know the devil's strategy against us by calling him the accuser of the brethren. That's one of his greatest strategies, to accuse you. What's he going to accuse you with? You. He's going to accuse you with your faults, your failures, your weakness. What is the devil always pointing toward? The old man. But we're not trying to dress up the old man. The old man's dead. We're new creatures in Christ, so we address opposition. In Christ, I'm clean. In Christ, I'm righteous. In Christ, there's no faults and failures. Amen. You are in Christ, and the devil wants you to talk about yourself outside of Christ. That's why he tries to bring up the past where you missed it. He tries to bring up past failures and faults and all of that. So he wants to bring you into the awareness of who you are in the flesh. But faith talks about who you are in Christ. Amen. And so I have noticed this. Anytime there is great opposition, it's because of promotion. And the devil's launching opposition against promotion. What is our safe place in that opposition? Because of promotion. It's called his presence. You understand that? That we are inaccessible. I was. Oh, my goodness, maybe a year ago or so, for just a couple days. You know, you have to pay attention to your thought life. I said you have to pay attention to your thought life because you can be entrenched in a flow of worry if you're not paying attention. And it can be on it can be going on for days and weeks. And you. And you didn't realize I'm worrying about this. Pay attention to your thought life. And I recognize after a period of time, oh my goodness, I'm worrying. I know better than that. How do you. Can I tell you this? How do you know if you're worrying about it? If you're thinking about it, get it. If you're thinking about it, that's worry. Well, no, I'm not worried. I'm just concerned. That's what I said. Don't dress it up by putting a more acceptable label on it. It's still worry. Worry closes the door to the power of God. And don't you forget it. When you're worrying, you're done hearing from God. Not because God quit speaking, but because worry closes the door and you can't hear him anymore. God never stops moving toward you. Never stop. But we can throw up barricades, interference to where his power can't reach our need. And worry is one of the primary things that does that. And so I recognized, I said to God one day, I said, God, I recognize. I just realized that for the last few days, thinking about this. What's that mean? I'm worrying that your greatest temptation in life is a sin of worry. You understand that? Listen, if you don't get the thought life right, your life will struggle your whole life. You'll struggle in every. Every single arena. You can confess healing all you want. You can confess prosperity scriptures all you want. But if you don't stop that sin worry, you'll be troubled your whole life. Your pastors quoted it last night, three John, verse two, Beloved, I wish above all things thou mayest prosper and be in health. What's this? Even as. Even as your soul prospers. Why? Because your prosperity and your health is connected to what's going on in your thought life. People are trying to get more money when they need to deal with their thought life. People are trying to get healed when they need to deal with their thought life. If you think wrong, healing will escape you. If you think wrong, prosperity will elude you. Amen. And so I said to God, I said, I realize I've been worrying. And I said, father, do you know this? Can I tell you this? I didn't deal with the devil When I realized I didn't deal with the devil. Why? He's not my problem. Jesus spoiled principalities and powers and made a show of them openly. The devil is a defeated being. You are authorized to live as though you have no Enemy. What's the problem? People give attention to everything. The devil said. And I said to God, when I recognized I've been worrying, I said to God, I said, it's my fault. Now listen to that. It's my fault. Those thoughts are going over in my head. I. I said, father, I'm too accessible to wrong thoughts. That's my fault. That's not the devil's fault for opposing my thought life. That's my fault because I have a higher place to be occupied with. Are you still with me? I know it's not. I know it's a little earlier in the morning, but this stuff, this stuff, this stuff sets your life on course. Psalm, chapter 23, verse 6. What is it? Verse 5, rather. Psalm 23, verse 5. You know this. You know this psalm? The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the stone. He what restores my soul? How does he restore your soul? You don't go to bed at night troubled, and then all of a sudden you wake up and your mind's right. No, he restores your soul. As you sit under the teaching of the Word, as you renew your mind with. He restores your soul as you honor the Word and take it in and make it your standard of living. That's how he restores your soul. Paul calls it the renewing of the mind. David calls it the restoring of the soul. John calls it the prospering of the soul. They're all talking about the same thing. That you bring your thoughts in line with God. Can I tell you. Can I tell you what living in the presence of God looks like and how it responds? One of my favorite stories is Smith Wigglesworth. He went to bed one night. He was asleep, but he was awakened because he felt an evil presence in the room and it woke him up. He woke up, rolled over in the bed, and when he did, he saw Satan in manifested form, form, sitting on his bed. Now, some people would have needed Huggies. Some people would have gotten up and gone into warring mode. When you're victor, there's no war except the standing your ground, refusing to have your. We're not a. We're not a fighting army. We're an occupying army. Jesus fought it, he won it, handed it to us. And we occupy what he won. I'm not fighting the devil. Jesus defeated him. I'm occupying my victory. I'm occupying. And anything that tries to challenge my ground. No, you don't, because Jesus already defeated you on this Ground. And you're not taking it back. It's mine. That's why the devil fights you owning homes. That's why the devil fights you owning businesses and land. Because he knows on that property his plan can never be worked again. He'll fight you on being an owner. He doesn't mind you renting all your life. You understand that? But when you're the owner, God's will gets done on that piece of ground. And so Smith Wigglesworth rolls over and on the bed, he sees Satan in manifested form sitting on the bed. He didn't get up and call a prayer meeting. He didn't call anybody. He didn't get up and war against him. He just turned over and looked at him and said, oh, it's just you. And he rolled back over and went to sleep. That's mastery. That's mastery. Can I tell you this? Victory is not the devil leaving you alone. And that's what many see. I pastored for 25 years. I know what people want. They want the devil to leave him alone. That's not victory. Victory is you being completely untroubled right in his presence. That's victory. Why? Because Psalm 23, verse 5 says, Thou preparest a table before me. Look at this. Where? In the presence of mine enemies. He's not talking about people. He's talking about demons and evil spirits. They're your real enemy. And they influence people with unrenewed minds. The devil can only work through an unrenewed mind. A renewed mind won't work with him. But an unrenewed mind is an open door to the devil. That's why you want to get your mind renewed so that you don't become the devil's co partner. You're a co laborer with God, not with the devil. Amen. Know this. The devil works through those closest to you with an unrenewed mind. That's why I can't keep people around my life with an unrenewed mind because they're an open door for the devil on my life. Staff better renew their mind or they're not staying on staff because you're not going to be in access for this ministry. An unrenewed mind is the devil's entrance. No matter how much they intend to do. Well, you can intend to do right in your heart. But if you think wrong, you can still be used with the devil. Praise the Lord. Good morning. Right. We have to make sure we're not that access. God can't work through wrong thinking. He can Only work through right thinking. The devil can only work through wrong thinking. That's why we have to renew our minds so that we recognize who we yield and to who are we cooperating with. Anything that accuses puts someone down. That's the devil. Amen. And so it says here, thou preparest a table before me. Where? In the presence of mine enemy. It's not about getting the devil to leave you alone. It's about you not caring that he's present. And you better know this. Just because you feel fear doesn't mean it's yours. You're feeling the fear of the one who's present. And it's his fear. Leave it with him. He chose it. Let him have it. You better know this. The devil's a tormented being. He is a tormented being. Why? Because anytime he comes in the room, you can sense fear coming, can't you? Haven't you at times sensed a tangible presence of fear? That's the devil in his torment. You're sensing what he lives under. Leave it with him. He wants you to think because you feel it, it's yours. I don't care what you feel. It's not yours. If it doesn't come from God, don't accept it and call it yours. That's what Smith Wigglesworth. When he rolled over, it woke him up because he could take tangibly, sense the evil in the room. It woke him up, but he didn't think, well, that must be mine now, because I can feel it. You understand that? Just because you can feel it doesn't make it yours. You know where I'm standing. I'm very grateful this morning. I can feel air conditioning. I can feel it. But I can't go to pastors and say, you know what I felt? Air conditioning. That must be my air conditioning unit. Load it in the car. I don't do that. Just because I feel it doesn't make it mine. Just because you feel fear doesn't make it yours. God has not given us the spirit of fear. And if he didn't give it, I'm not having it. It's not mine. And you have to realize this. You're only feeling what the one who's present is feeling. The devil is present, you say, well, God's present. Yes, but God's not troubled. So any troubling, you know, God's not. That's. That's not flowing from God. But notice here again, thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemy. This is called living in the presence of God being Occupied with the table that God spread. Notice two things are present. The table and the enemy. Which one you going to be? Which one you going to be? Occupied with, the table or the enemy? And just because the enemy's present doesn't mean he should have your attention. How does the enemy get movement in your life one way? You gave him attention. How do you give him attention? Thinking about him, talking about him. Amen. That's what the devil, the devil wants to work on. He wants to work undercover. He doesn't want you to recognize that the troubling in the mind came from him. Just know this, every thought that comes to you did not come from you. Dad, Hagin was walking through his home years ago as a younger minister, and he was facing some kind of opposition. He didn't say what it was, but evidently it was pretty dramatic. And he said he was walking through his the family room and the devil spoke to him and said, I've got you now. And he said, no, you don't have me now. He said, yeah, I've got you now. He said, look at your hands, they're shaking. And brother Hagin said, I looked down at my hands and because of the threats and what he was facing, he said literally his body was shaking. And he looked down and his hands were shaking. And the devil said, I've got you now because now you're in fear. And brother Hagin answered him and said, devil, my body may be shaking, but my body is not the real me. The real me is my spirit. And my spirit is not shaking. You see, you can feel the effects of opposition. But that's not your opposition. That's not you. Amen. Don't accept it. So many times people are just wanting the devil to leave him alone so they can be peaceful. That's not victory. Victory is you being completely untroubled and peaceful, no matter what is present. No matter what opposition, no matter what challenge, no matter what strategy, no matter what device, no matter what symptom, no matter what unpaid bill. You're untroubled. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Most Christians are just living their lives aware of the enemy that's present instead of the table that's been prepared. Now, the devil's not seated at the table. You got a seat. The devil doesn't got a chair, baby. He got no chair. Can I tell you? That's what the devil has wanted from the beginning of time. A chair. And he doesn't have one. He does not have a chair in the kingdom. And he thought, I will exalt my throne above the throne of God. Listen as an angel in heaven. And he made that statement. Aside from God saying that the last time when the devil said something that God didn't say, it got him removed out of heaven. You don't say what God doesn't say. When you're an angel, and as us belonging to God, we don't say what God doesn't say either. Amen. That stuff will get get you kicked out of God's flow. Not because God will kick you out, but because wrong words remove you from the highest thing that belongs to you. So the devil started saying something God didn't say to him, trying to take something. Just because the devil says something to you, don't take it. I don't care that he says it. I don't care how many times he says it. And can I tell you this, you don't have to live with a tormented mind trying to cope with fear, trying to cope with troubling thoughts, trying to cope with panic and anxiety. We're not called to cope. We're called to rule and reign. I don't cope with fear. I don't cope with my past. I don't cope with how somebody treated me. I'm ruling and reigning. I don't let that stuff in me. People say, well, you know, you need to talk about your past to let it out. When you talk it, when you talk about it, you're not letting it out, you're letting it in. Because what you talk about is what gains movement. Amen. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Victory is you're in the presence of the devil and you are completely untroubled. And that's what troubles him. Can I tell you this? Can I tell you what the devil enjoys your suffering. That is his pure enjoyment. You say, how do you know that, Pastor Nancy? Because I saw it. I saw that somebody was suffering physically and I saw demons standing back laughing and mocking. That was their enjoyment with someone else's suffering. I tell you what, he's not getting any enjoyment out of me. Amen. So thou preparest a table. Where is the table? Where's the table before you? It's in front of you. Where's the devil? He's not at the table. He's not at the table. But what he's trying to do is create such commotion, say so many. And this is for every believer. You better know this. He's trying to create such distractions that you turn away from the table to him. Because where your attention goes is what's going to move in your life. Can I tell you this? Your faith is connected to your attention. How do you have strong faith, have your attention on the right thing? How do you have weak faith, have your attention on the wrong thing? There it is. It's as easy as your attention. It's as simple as your attention. What's this mean? If we're faith people, we have to have a relentless hold on our attention. I will not let my mind go there. I will not let my thoughts go there. I will not go to bed thinking about that situation. I will not wake up thinking about that situation. Situation. How do I keep from doing that, Pastor Nancy? Casting all your care. Casting all your care. Casting all your care. Well, Pastor Nancy, I'm faced with something. It's under my responsibility. I'm responsible for this. Well, good. Then you're responsibly put it in his hands for him to fix it. When I was growing up, in case you didn't know it, I like jewelry. I just like it. And the more I get, the better I like it. Never gets old. This last week, I moved. This is my third one, but I just moved it into the house. I'm living in Texas right now. I have multiple. I'm staying there primarily. I go back and forth between California and Texas because God gave us, you know, an airplane. So I'm housing it in Texas there. And then I have a TV studio. I just get to live wherever I want to live. Just go. But in this home, I didn't have it. I have it in my other one, I didn't have it. I go, oh, this home is missing this. You know what it is? Let me just tell you a divine idea, ladies. It's a men Harbor Freight. Ladies, do you know what Harbor Freight is? Thank you. Okay. They have a selection of multicolored toolboxes on wheels that big, baby, big. I rolled it into my closet and all my jewelry. Those drawers come out like butter, baby. Those drawers, I get around that and I become superhuman. Superhuman. Does it. All right. It comes in white. It comes in yellow. It comes in green, it comes in orange, it comes in red, it comes in black, it comes in blue. It does not come in pink. But, baby, baby, wait. Get the white one and put a bunch of pink stuff on it. Purple? I don't think so, but get a white one and put purple stuff on it. Purple jewelry. And so I'm just telling you, that thing was 200. This is a smaller one. 235 pounds. I was the only one at the house. Baby, I got it in. I flipped that thing over, put the casters on it, picked that up. Now it took a mm. I got halfway and go. This might not have been a good idea. I lifted that thing, got that over the step into the house, rolled that in, and baby Jesus loves it. You want to know why he loves it? Because he loves watching me enjoy all things. People say, you don't need that. Oh, my enjoyment needs it. And he has given me richly all things to enjoy. And that sits right in front of me. And if someone were to say, you shouldn't have that much, get thee behind me, devil, because right in front of me is all this stuff. More so he's prepared a table right in front of us. It is so wealthy, it is so abundant, it is so full of God's best that when something tries to draw my attention. Get thee behind me. Why? Because I'm not leaving this to pay attention to that. It's all about your attention. I said, it's all about your attention. But when I was about eight years old, the neighbor, now I was raised for the first eight years of my life, I lived in a little town called Olustee, Oklahoma. I don't even know if there was a couple hundred people, but there were several, hundreds of dogs. They were all in fellowship. And, you know, nobody had fences. It just. We rode horses. We had our horses, you know, strapped up in front of the house, and we'd get together as a community, and we'd go out and everybody ride horses, go out for a bonfire. It was a great way to grow up, you know. But then when I turned 8, we moved to the metropolis of Altus, Oklahoma. And my dad was a cotton and wheat farmer. And we had very little going on in Altus. And so one day, a carnival came to town. Well, that's a big deal in Altus. You know, it's a big deal when your biggest deal used to be. We saw them last night catching lightning bugs and put them in the jar. You know, y' all got lightning bugs. Oh, Jesus. I loved it, love it, love it. Yeah. And so the neighbor came because my parents, you know, there were four kids in the family. My dad was a farmer. They didn't have time. They're not going to take us to the carnival. You know, that just recreation was just not high on the list in our household. And so the neighbor said to Carol, she came up to my mom and said, Carolyn said, we're going to take the Kids to the carnival today. And we thought that if Nancy would like to go, you know, we wanted to have her go. So she said, yes, she can go. She said, wait a minute, Let me go get her some money for the carnival. And mother came out with a quarter. A quarter. And that's what she handed me, was I could have a quarter. I'm not interested in any ride. Those of you who love the rides, God bless you. I'm going to save the seat. But I'm not interested in the ride. I was interested when I walked in and saw the jewelry booth at the carnival. You know, it's fine. You know, it's fine jewelry. So I walked up to the guy at the jewelry booth, and I said. I put up my quarter and said, what will this get me? He said, honey, that will get you a necklace with a charm on it. Sold Baby soldier. So, you know, it was really good when he unwinds it from the spool that's sitting on top. And it was such tiny fine links, you know, so thin. And he put a charm on it. Oh, I had my necklace. And so the clasp was so small that, you know, when you're eight, you can't work those tiny clasps. So I would just leave it on. I'd say in it. I'd, you know, take a shower. And it just. It never came off. The problem was, it was full of knots after several weeks. So I had gotten it off, and I was trying. And I was taking the knots out. And my way of taking out the knots was jerk on it. Just jerk. Just if you pull hard enough, you know, they'll come out. And so mother walked in while I was doing that. She said, what are you doing? I said, I'm getting the knots out. She said, no, you're not getting them out. You're getting them in. So she said, if you'll hand it to me, I'll get the knots out. So I hand it to her. And she took a straight pin, and she started working on each knot. There were probably about 7 or 8 knots in that chain. And she kept working on them one at a time, and they came loose. And I saw her working on the very last one. And she had gotten that loose. And I was so. I want. You know, when you're little, you want to finish it, right? You want to do the last. So I took it back out of her hands because I wanted to finish the very last one. And so the way I worked on it, I started jerking on it. And she just stood there in disgust and she said if you would put it back in my hand and leave it there, then I can finish it. But if you're going to take it back, I can't finish it. So I put it back. She finished it. Casting all your care. How do you know if it's in your hand or in his hand? If it's in your hand, he can't work on it. Not. He won't. He can't because it's in your hand. He can only work with what's in his hand. How do you know if it's in your hand or his hand? How you what? Yeah, what you thinking about? If you're worried, if you're thinking about it, it's in your hand. If you're not thinking about it, it's in his hand. And the only thought you have on it is this. God's working on that right now. God's working on that. That's our only thought, is that I have cast that into his hands and he's working on it. I'm not working on it because the only thing I can do is jerk it and make it worse. But I'm leaving it in his hand. And when the devil says, what you gonna do about this? What you gonna do about this? I'm gonna leave it in his hands, Devil. That's what I'm doing. And I tell you, that is a very conscious effort to not take it back through the sin of worry. Can I tell you this, please? Worry is not an option. It is a sin. And many need to repent of the sin of worry. Why? Because Jesus said, take no thought for your life, even down to what you put on your body, what you drink as a beverage that day, what you eat as a meal, which is really the least significant, significant things of what we do is the everyday details of life. And so if he doesn't want us even thinking about what are we going to eat, what are we going to drink, which is the least of what we do every day, how much more he doesn't want us to think about the significant situations that come against us. Down to even the water I drink, I'm not thinking about it. I'm not worrying about it because he's taking care of it. Amen. I'm in his care, you're in his care. Amen. What's our job? Stay at the table. What table? The table of our covenant, the table of God's Word. He has spread everything my life needs at the table of the covenant, the blessings of God, the table of His Word. I'm too busy eating off the table to pay attention to something that's trying to draw me away from the table. What's the problem? If we leave the table with our attention, even though our body's at the table, but our attention is this way. Our attention is listening and looking at the opposition, at things going on. Then the devil robs us from partaking of. Of what we're seated in front of. The devil doesn't need a seat at the table. He just wants you not occupied in eating off the table. So what's he doing? He's constantly trying to get your attention. This is where the skill of faith begins, where your attention is. That's why if you will feel, you have to feel your thoughts with what God says. Why? To keep those thoughts ever ready for your attention. Fill your attention with it. It's not about getting the devil to leave you alone. It's about you filling up with the right thing. I said, it's about you filling up with the right thing. Well, Pastor Nancy, you know, I've just had addictions in my life. I've had bondages in my life. I've got bad habits I'm trying to break. Quit giving them your attention. Put your attention on pouring in the right thing, and the right thing will flush out the wrong thing. Have you ever noticed what you give your attention to gets bigger? It grows. It grows. I not only like jewelry, I like dogs. Do you like dogs? Anybody in here like dogs? Yeah. Why? Because it's something for women. The mother. You know, when our children are gone, we gotta mother something. And if you don't, husbands want to be mothered by the women, Then get them a dog. Don't tell them they can't have one. Get them. No, I'm not getting your marriage. But y' all work that out. But at one time, we had five dogs. Well, I had five acres. Each had an acre. But their food and water bowl was outside our garage door, and there was a light above where their bowls were. So at night, I would go out. In the morning, I would go out at night. Night and morning, I would fill up the water bowl, fill up the food bowl, and at night, I'd fill up that water bowl. But I'd go out in the morning to fill it up. And. And there's dead bugs doing the backstroke. You know, they're just floating on that water. Why? From the light the night before. Now they're all in the water. You try. Have you ever tried to pick a dead bug out of water? What happens? It Just disintegrates. And now you've got little pieces, right? All in the water. I love my dogs, but I'm not touching the bugs. Not touching the bugs. I didn't have to touch the bugs. All I had to do was pour in something. I just turned on the water hose and I just put it in the bowl and the water washed it out. You are made, Jesus said, you are made. Clean through my word. The cleansing of the washing of the water, of the Word. Just pour in the word. Quit trying to get rid of fear thoughts. Quit trying to get rid of panic thoughts. Quit trying to get rid of anxiety. Quit trying to get rid of of the bad habits. Quit trying to get rid of the addictions. Just pour in the water of the world and it will flush it all out. And because if you're trying, I'm trying to get rid of that thought. I'm trying to pull it out, it disintegrates and it multiplies right there at your touch because your attention is on it. You've got to get your attention off of what troubles you and get your attention on what delivers you. And this is called being accessible to the right thing. Whenever. What am I going to do? I'm going to turn my attention to him. I'm going to turn my attention to His Word, and I'm going to do it first thing as soon as I wake up so that something else doesn't get my attention. If you don't take charge of your attention, the devil will. And he wants to do your thinking for you, and he wants to trouble you and he wants to dismantle your life right in front of you. But have you ever noticed you never get away from your mind? You can't say, you know what? My mind's troubled today. I'm going to take it off. I'm going to leave it here on the table. I'll pick it back up at dinner time when I get back to the house. No, you never leave your mind. So you might as well have a mind you can live with instead of a mind you can't live with. Because believers got no business being troubled and some need to repent of the sin of worry. Have you ever noticed when you're worrying, you can't hear God? And then you start panicking because when you're faced with something, you need to hear God. And when you can't hear him, people start getting entrenched further and further into worry. Jesus declared his plan, the plan of the Father for Him. He told his disciples he Says, I'm going to go to Jerusalem. I'm going to be arrested, crucified. And Peter pulls him aside and says, not you, Jesus. Now, he meant well, but he's been used to the devil. And when he said that to Jesus, Jesus turned his back to him and then said, get thee behind me. Why, he turned his whole body as a sign. You don't get my attention. Those words will not enter me. Why was it the devil was trying to offer Jesus glory without blood? You understand that? He said, if you'll fall down and worship me, I'll give you all the glory of his kingdom. Oh, he's going to end up with glory of them, don't you worry. But it's not going to be the way you say it's going to be through blood. So he tried to offer him a bloodless victory, but that wouldn't be victory because blood was for us. It wasn't for Jesus. His blood was our victory, not his victory. He was already in victory. His blood was our victory. The devil was trying to leave you and me out of the picture. He was trying to offer Jesus Christ glory without us. And Jesus wouldn't take it because he had us in mind. I want you to know that whenever the devil comes, he's trying to rob you of the awareness of the one who paid for you and purchased you. Get up in the morning and turn your whole attention. Worship and worship and worship and Pastor Nancy, what do I do? I understand. I'm worried. I'm troubled. What do I do? Number one, Answer that thought. Answer the thought. Answer the thought specifically. Remember how we started. Specifically. Number two. Tell the spirit of fear to leave you. Why? Because you don't have to lay in bed with that thing just hammering on your head and you can't sleep. No, you tell that spirit of fear to leave you. You tell it to leave. And number three, you worship. Why? To hold your attention off of what the enemy is threatening and onto the word of God. That's what the answer at book is all about. Those three steps. I've gone through different tests in my life. Four significant ones, and they each lasted three years apiece. Twelve years of my life that the devil robbed. But I gained skill. I had no idea that one day I'd be preaching in over half a billion homes every day. But this is why God allowed me. He didn't send it, but he allowed me to gain skill with this because he knew others needed it. I had to be skillful if I was going to help others. Be skillful if you're not skillful with your thought life. You can't help anybody else. Amen. So it's not just about you being peaceful, it's about you being skillful. So? So God can use you to bring others into what God has for them. So when troubling thoughts come, what you gonna do? Number one, Answer it. What specifically? If the devil says, you're gonna lose your home, don't say, oh, no, the Lord loves me. No, no. Wrong answer. Wrong answer. It's true. But that's the wrong answer. For that you say, I will not lose my home because no weapon formed against me shall prosper. My God supplies. I've already supplied all my needs. You have to answer specifically number 2. Tell the spirit of fear that spoke to you to leave. Or he'll keep hammering you with thoughts. You tell him to leave. Your home is not hosting him. Your life is not hosting him. Your mind is not his host. You tell him to leave. And then number three, you have to immediately get violent with your praise. Why? To hold your attention. Because I guarantee you, the devil doesn't just want your life, he wants your attention. Because then he's got your life. The devil. I was watching this documentary years ago and it was a scientist who was building something. It's with that Griffith Observatory. And they were having. He was really inventing the technology for this telescope that saw, you know, so far into outer space in the early 1900s. And there had been millions that were given to him by philanthropists and things to fund this. And he was under great pressure to get this thing completed. And his mind started breaking down. He wasn't resting properly and his mind started breaking down. And he told a fellow scientist one day, he said, I went home and I went to get in bed last night and he said, a being walked in my room. He said, I saw him. And he said this. Your attention is mine and it will always be mine. Notice he didn't say your life was mine. He didn't say your future is mine. He didn't say your family is mine. He didn't say your finances are mine. He said, your attention is mine. Because if he's got your attention, he. He's got access to everything in your life. So the Word's already told us what to do. Proverbs, chapter 4, verse 20, My son, attend. We could say this. Put your attention on what? My words. Why? Everything else in life is trying to get your attention off what God says. Because living in what God says is your miracle. Living in what God says is your Peace. Living in what God says is your. Your victory. Living in what God says is his wisdom. And the devil doesn't want you to have it, so he wants to occupy your attention with something other than what God says. Our lifelong profession is renewing of the mind, bringing our thoughts in line with what God says and shutting out every other thought. And I want you to know, I don't care what comes because I faced the death of my husband immediately and I had already been skilled. No, you didn't. My attention will not go to the spirit of grief. It will not go to the spirit of sorrow. It will not leave this flow of peace. I'm not leaving it because I'm not leaving a higher flow to go to a lower flow. I'm staying in the flow of victory. And I tell you what, it's a skill you better have. And your pastor cannot have it for you. All your pastor can do is teach you how to have it. But you have to do the work. And being a doer of the word, aren't you thankful? We are not called. We are not called to be troubled in this life. I refuse to live any day that's not heaven on earth. I'm living heaven on earth every single day. And that's only possible when you do the right thing with your thought life. What is that? I'm aware of him. And I'm inaccessible to the thoughts that the enemy brings against me because I will not come down low to entertain them. Amen. Are you helped this morning? Stand with me if you would. Hallelujah. I want you to know, depression, fear, anxiety, panic does not belong to the believer. And it's wrong. For the believer said it's wrong because it's not the flow that God made ours. It says this, that the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but it's righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. You are to live in the flow of the kingdom. Why? And it says, and look at this. Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. That's the flow of the Holy Ghost is moving in. He's not moving in the flow of depression. He's not moving in the flow of anxiety. He's not moving in the flow of panic. He's moving in the flow of righteousness, peace and joy. That's my flow and I'm not leaving it. You better protect your peace by protecting where you let your attention go. Protecting your thought life. Amen. Hallelujah. So, Father, just raise up your hands right now. Even if you've been struggling with Depression, fear. Well, you know what? That's just part of life. No, it's not part of the believer's life. No, that's not true. Too many Christians put up with too much stuff. Just say this. I resist all fear, all panic, all anxiety, all lies, all worry because I'm occupied with the word of God and the presence of God that's in me. Father, I thank you that you are my dwelling place. You have given me yourself to dwell in. Your thoughts, your words, your wisdom. Not only that, your fellowship. You are my great joy. You and your word are the only thing worthy of my attention. So I say no to everything else. And I say I'm free from anything else that is not of the kingdom of God, because I'm living in victory. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Can I tell you this? Never go to bed afraid. Never go to sleep afraid. Because if you do, you let the door open. And that spirit of fear will work. You'll work. You'll wake up the next morning, and that thing will be entrenched in you. If thoughts of fear come, you deal with it before you go to sleep, you shut that door out. Amen. I refuse to go to sleep anything less than peaceful because I'm not waking up with anything less than peace. That thing's not working on me while I'm sleeping, but the presence of God is working for me when I'm sleeping. Amen. Hallelujah, Pastors, thank you so much.

Nancy Dufresne
Wow. A word. Amen. Wow, wow, wow. Your mind is not his host. What an incredible word. Praise the Lord. I love it. You said, the devil don't got a chair at the table, baby. I like that. Amen. Did that help you today?
- [69:05]
Pastor Gary
Wow.

Nancy Dufresne
We need to all go back and listen to that word again and again and again. Nancy, I've heard you preach a lot of messages, especially this year. I'm telling you, though, I think that's the best one. I think I've ever heard. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You're in his care. And that scripture I've been quoting, that seated at the table. Amen. In the presence, God is there at the table. The enemy wants to distract us, but God greater is he. That's in you. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Host/Moderator
You have to stay intentional. You have to stay intentional. It happens for a second. Thank you, Nancy. That was. That was excellent. And you. We. We all need to practice that and learn that and how to handle that. That's.

Nancy Dufresne
It is a skill. It is a skill. And if you've never received Jesus. It starts there. You can't master a skill without the master. Amen. Amen. If you've walked away from him, you've got your attention off of him. You've even rejected him. He's still saying, he's knocking at the door. Amen. He's knocking. He's there. He's waiting for you and I to turn back. Turn back to him at the table. Amen. Turn back to him. Turn away. The world is yelling and screaming and they're pitching fits. I mean, I've never seen anything like it. Have you? But greater is he that's in you than he that's in the world. And so if you've never received Jesus, I just feel that anointing. There someone right now, you're crying out, someone's backslidden. Turn your heart from God because of bad things that happened and you blame God. That's what the devil wants to do. Amen. He wants to create circumstances and havoc and situations and then point to it and say, God did that. God's not trustworthy, you know, Did God say, but God is your answer. He's not your problem. Amen. And so today, if you've never received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, every eye shut online as well. Turn your heart and your attention, as Nancy said, turn your attention to him face to face. David said, I will be satisfied when I wake up like you. Well, we can't be like him until we turn to him first and we repent and say, lord, I'm not looking there anymore. I'm done with that. I'm done with the old life. I'm done with the worry. I'm done with the fear. I'm done with the voices. I say yes to your voice and your voice alone. And I hear your voice because you are, from this point forward, my shepherd. I'll not listen to the world. I'll not listen to a man or a woman or social. I listen to you and I put my affection and my attention on you. And right now, just in your heart, you can say, lord, I. I repent. I turn from that stuff. I turn from all that stuff. And I put my attention on you, God. And you're greater. You're greater than any situation I face today. So just say, jesus, I receive you, your sacrifice, your blood that was shed for me that you put on the mercy seat so that I could find mercy in time of need and help. I receive you as my Lord and Savior. I turn from the world and turn to you, and I receive your Kingdom I come into your kingdom. I put my eyes back on your kingdom, where there's answers, where there's righteousness, peace, joy, and I'm free. You're mine. I'm yours. I'm saved, I'm healed. I'm filled with the Holy Ghost. I'm provided for. I'm loved. There's a table before me, and I receive everything at the table. It's like a buffet. And I'm not going to not taste everything. I'm going to taste and see the Lord is good. Praise the Lord.

Host/Moderator
Amen. You know, the problem with thoughts is they turn into words. Satan's after your words. You have to watch that. Now, obviously, that table includes everything. Finances, we all need that. And of course, that table has plenty of provision. Right. And before we receive our offering, I want to just go over to Luke, chapter five, a familiar story. Peter, James and John in the fishing business. And they'd fished all night and caught how much? Nothing. And then Jesus borrows the boat. So when they agreed to that, what happened to the business changed kingdoms. Kings under the jurisdiction of the ministry of Jesus. Under heaven's jurisdiction. So after Jesus finished teaching, he said, put out in the deep water and put down your nets for a catch. And Simon said, master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I'll put down the nets. Heaven is just looking for access that you give Heaven. Now, we know the story ends that they catch so many fish, right? That the boat's about sink. But I want to point out James and John. Now, we know Peter heard that word, right? Peter heard the word because you said so. Now, James and John were not in that boat. The Bible says they're on the shore washing their nets, right? But they caught the exact same number of fish as Peter, who heard the Word, yet they caught the same number of fish. There's a couple reasons. One, they're in partnership. But number two, let me ask you this. How much faith did it take for James and John on the shore? How much faith did it take for them to fill that boat up? None. Zero. Who had the faith? Peter had the faith. The anointing was there. Peter said, yes, they're in partnership. So here's what I want to point out to you. The fish began to pile up. And so Peter signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. Help them. See, every assignment has anointing on it, has grace on it. You don't have to hear God say, you can just come alongside and help. Let me say it again. You don't have to hear God say, someone had to hear God say, someone's called, has that grace. You don't have to as long as you bear witness that you want to get involved with their assignment. And if you come along and help, guess what you get exactly the same thing that the one that heard God. Right. But you have to do that. We're talking about what you have to do thoughts and what you have the way you're in charge of. You have to make effort to give God access to. To bless your life. And one of the ways that happens in finances is get involved with finances. Let me say it again. Get involved with God's economy, get involved with God's assignments. Doesn't mean you have to hear God say, God's going to put you around people and lead you to help. And when the minute you come and help, that same anointing, the same grace is on you now because you're partners. And so today, as we give, I want you to focus on that. I think everyone would like to have boats sinking, right? I mean, you like to have a banking account so big the bank can't hold it. All right. I mean, you know, we like to have that. Well, you have to do something. You have to do. You have to activate that. You have to get involved with God's finances. So let's stand. Today we are going to receive our normal morning offering. But also, if you'd like to give finances to Nancy's ministry, just make a note of that and we'll make sure that she gets every. Every penny that you may put on there.
