This episode continues Nancy Dufresne's powerful teaching series "In Christ I Can," with an emphasis on how believers can step into their full inheritance in Christ by saying "yes" to God’s call, renewing their minds, and cooperating with the Holy Spirit. Nancy underscores the importance of allowing Christ’s strength, ability, and provision to flow through us—removing our struggles and unleashing God's supernatural ability in our lives.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Presence and Power of God in Every Situation

• Nancy opens by reminding listeners that God’s healing power is available in every room and situation, no matter how dire.
  • Quote: “There's enough power in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one. … Power is present. That power is there to do a work. … Say, I receive that power. I receive it right now.” (00:10)

2. Who We Are—In Him

• The central message: true identity and capability come from being “in Christ,” not in ourselves.
  • Quote: “If we don't establish this in us, we will struggle unnecessarily. And so it's so important that we are fortified and established in who we are in Him.” (00:52)
• Nancy urges listeners to meditate on “In Him” scriptures, available as a free resource, to build this awareness.
• When God calls us, He intends to do it through us—not leave us to our own strength:
  • Quote: “Anything God's called us to, he never intended that we do it apart from Him. He intended that he be the ability, the strength and the supply for what he's called us to do.” (02:14)
• God is seeking people who say ‘yes’ to Him. Reference to Kathryn Kuhlman, who said she was “the sixth person God went to” before she finally said yes. (03:05)

3. Testimonies: Saying Yes and Giving God a Job

• Nancy recounts several faith testimonies to illustrate practical “In Christ I Can” living:
  • Kenneth Copeland's story: God told him to give $50,000 to Kenneth Hagin Ministries while he was in debt. Copeland responded, “In Christ, I have it, and in Christ, I can give it.” (06:00)
  • Jesse Duplantis teaching: “God never told me to pay for it. He told me to believe for it.” (09:12)
  • Nancy shares her own experience of obeying God, “emptying out every bank account” to pay off their building and seeing God refill those accounts. (09:30)
  • Quote (on God's involvement): “He joyfully and cheerfully says, don’t leave me out.” (10:35)

4. Obedience and the Flow of the Spirit

• Only act when led by the Spirit; avoid gimmicks or imitating methods that have worked elsewhere.
  • Example: Her late husband, Ed Dufresne, once led an offering to pay off a church’s $100,000 debt in one night by following God’s exact instructions (“100 people to give $1,000 each”). The miracle happened because of obedience, not manipulation.
  • Quote: “See, you don’t do this out of gimmick. You do this led by the Spirit of God. … You can’t do it without the anointing.” (16:05)
• Each assignment requires a fresh, personal leading.

5. Scriptural Example: Moses’ Calling and Saying Yes

• The account of Moses highlights the power of one person’s obedience.
  • Moses’ mother said, “Not in my house,” refused to accept the decree. Handed her son over to God’s plan, resulting in Moses’ miraculous preservation and preparation. (20:12)
  • Quote: “God always has a plan.” (22:15)
• Moses, despite his lackluster circumstances at age 80, was called to set his people free. God didn’t check his qualifications—He just required his “yes.”
  • Quote: “Age will not dismiss you from saying yes to God.” (25:04)
  • “God expects you to say yes whenever age might in your head be a feature. Have you ever noticed before God calls you to something? He doesn’t check your birth certificate...He doesn’t check your wallet. He just wants you to say yes.”

6. The Simple Yet Powerful Act of Agreement

• God supplies the ability—our part is faith and obedience.
  • “He needs our faith and he needs our obedience. Amen. Because he can’t manifest unless we’re obeying Him.” (26:00)
• Make agreeing with God a habit—speak words of agreement, then see the power of God meet those words.
  • “Jesus said, My yoke is easy and my burden is light…he only ever gave you something that he could do. And so he just needs our agreement. And we agree. How about that?”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Receiving God’s Power:
  “Say, I receive that power. I receive it right now from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.” (00:36)

• Establishing Identity:
  “Who we are in ourselves, that’s gonna change. But who we are in Him, that’s where real success lives.” (01:10)

• On God’s Assignment:
  “He needs someone that will yield to him so he can manifest through. … The devil needs someone to manifest through. … God needs someone to manifest through. … The person who says yes.” (02:44)

• Obedience Unlocks the Supernatural:
  “When God says something, the anointing comes with what he says. You don’t formulate it, and you don’t try to imitate it.” (18:41)

• God’s Genius in Delivering Moses:
  “God says, oh yeah, I’ll put one [baby] in your house and you’ll pay to raise him.” (22:45)

• Age and Means Are No Limitation:
  “Age is not a dismissal for your yes. Age will not dismiss you from saying yes to God. … He doesn’t check your birth certificate. He doesn’t check your wallet.” (25:04)

   Make agreement with God a daily habit—respond quickly and positively to His direction, knowing He supplies the strength and resources.
3. Encouragement:
   “We don’t ever realize all that our yes is connected to because it’s not just connected to us. It’s connected to our family. … And so we can all do that. Say yes. It’s so easy to say yes based on who He is, not based on who I am.” (24:40)
