Jesus the Healer w/ Nancy Dufresne Audio Podcast

Episode 783 | In Christ I Can, Part 23 (July 2, 2025)

Episode Overview

In this installment of her "In Christ I Can" series, Nancy Dufresne explores the practical realities and spiritual truths of living out one's identity in Christ. The episode centers on the limitless power available to believers, the importance of honoring the Word, operating from the spirit rather than the flesh, and applying "in Him" realities to everyday challenges—from healing to finances to relationships. Nancy draws from personal stories, biblical principles, and testimonies to illustrate the difference between striving in human strength and walking in Christ’s sufficiency.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

The Power That’s Present for Every Need (00:10–05:00)

• Nancy begins by reminding listeners:

  "There's enough power in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one that may be describing you...power is present. That power is there to do a work." (00:11)

• She encourages listeners to actively receive the power of God by faith:

  "Say, I receive that power. I receive it right now. From the top of my head, the soles of my feet." (00:19)

• Nancy underscores the spiritual law that "it's only the part of the Word we honor that we'll partake of." To experience healing, provision, or peace, we must honor Jesus in those areas (02:00):

  "When we honor him as the peace giver, then that's when we'll live in peace." (02:44)

Your Identity and Success Are ‘In Christ’

• Building on the episode series, Nancy hammers the theme of finding identity in Christ:

  "If you get this truth of who you are in Christ established so big in your spirit...that is the foundation that will make you such a great success." (04:40)

• She references Acts 17 ("In Him we live and move and have our being") and applies it to every area of life—spiritual, mental, physical, material (06:50).
• Key insight:

  "If we measure ourselves apart from Christ, the answer would be: in me, I don't have it. And in me, I can't give it." (09:34)

Testimony: Kenneth Copeland’s ‘In Christ, I Can’ (07:00–10:00)

• Nancy recounts Kenneth Copeland’s testimony where God asked him to sow $50,000 (which he did not have):

  "The skill of Brother Copeland's answer was this: 'In Christ, I have it. And in Christ, I can give it.' So good. My, my, my. What an answer." (08:40)

• The key lesson: always measure what God asks of you by Christ’s resources in you, not your own.

The Spiritual Life—Operating from the Spirit Realm (10:30–14:40)

• Reminder of the triune nature of man:

  "You are a spirit. You have a soul...you live in a body, but you are a spirit, meaning because you are a spirit, you are in God's class of being." (10:57)

• The spirit realm and flow of faith shouldn’t be foreign; instead, Nancy teaches,

  "We are so to be skillful in that flow, that the flow of this world becomes foreign to us." (12:26)

• The nine fruits of the Spirit are God’s own nature imparted to believers.

  "He did not go outside of Himself to find these forces to put in you. They're of Him." (13:32)

Be Lavish—No Limits in Christ (15:30–18:20)

• Memorable, practical analogy: Nancy shares how her late husband was so generous when shopping with her, encouraging listeners,

  "Christ is in you and all limits are off. Amen. All limits are off. That in him, there are no limits." (16:40)

• Caveat: this doesn’t mean irresponsibility, but exceeding generosity in spiritual realities (love, faith, joy).

Bringing Christ into Everyday Situations: Authority and Faith in Action (18:21–23:40)

• Nancy recounts a time after her husband's passing when she faced a complex project. Instead of striving, she sent God’s power into the meeting by worship and faith:

  "Before I ever left my home that day, I got in the presence of God and I assigned his power to that room...I decided, because I'm in Christ, I'm not going in that room alone." (20:06)

• She teaches the difference between exercising spiritual authority and getting into strife:

  "I'm not going to go in there and fuss and fight with people. That's their flow, not my flow. I'm in charge...I bring the higher flow, which is the flow of God's power." (21:27)

• A powerful, practical outcome: God answered Nancy's faith after she left the room, by using someone else's suggestion to resolve the issue in her favor (22:40).

Guard Against Strife—Stay in the Flow of the Spirit (23:50–26:45)

• Nancy shares another testimony about agreeing with her husband regarding the purchase of a home:

  "Forced agreement is not agreement. I can't. You can't? I can't. No one can force someone into agreement and call that agreement. That's not agreement." (25:14)

• The principle: stay in spiritual flow (love, joy, peace). Strife “shuts God out” of the situation.
• Key quote:

  "If I get into strife, I have just shut God out because I've left His flow. I've got to stay in the flow of God if I want his participation." (26:00)

• Application: Sometimes, we must change ourselves to be in alignment with God and others, for glory to glory results.

Closing Encouragement & Resources (26:45–27:11)

• Nancy points listeners to free resources—“in Him” scriptures—on her website for further meditation.
• Final reminder:

  “To stay in Christ is to stay in his flow...Remember this: Jesus is the healer. God bless you.” (26:45)
