Episode Overview

This episode continues Nancy Dufresne’s long-running deep-dive into the theme “In Christ I Can,” with a focus on drawing from the power, wisdom, and success that belongs to believers in Christ. Nancy emphasizes that life in Christ should be free from struggle—not through personal striving, but through renewing the mind, relying on the Holy Spirit, and refusing self-accusation. Listeners are encouraged to resist the voice of the enemy, avoid worry and condemnation, and yield to God’s guidance—especially during challenges and opposition.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Power Present for Healing and Victory

• Nancy opens by affirming the ever-present power of God for healing:

  "There's enough power in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one that may be describing you... That power is there to do a work... It's present right where you're at. Say, I receive that power. I receive it right now."
  — Nancy Dufresne, 00:10-00:41

Life Without Struggle: Understanding “In Christ”

• Recognizing identity in Christ leads to the highest order of faith.
  • Emphasis on receiving what God has made available rather than struggling to achieve.
  • Struggles indicate an invitation to renew one’s mind and realize more fully what belongs to the believer.
  • "In Christ, there is no struggle... Struggle comes when we think we have to accomplish something. Struggle comes when we're not agreeing with what God has said." (00:43-02:10)

Personal Story: Jesus’ Message About Failure and Success

• Nancy shares a formative story of feeling frustrated with herself—a sense of not measuring up or advancing spiritually.
  • In prayer, Jesus tells her:

    "You have failed many, many times. But I never have. So I share my success with you."
    (03:38-05:25)

  • Key Insight: Failure results from relying on self instead of Christ. Success is experienced by yielding to Jesus and allowing Him to work through us.

Combating Self-Accusation and the Devil’s Strategies

• The enemy operates by planting seeds of accusation.
  • The devil accuses believers so they’ll pick up those accusations and internalize them, thus perpetuating cycles of guilt and shame:

    "He comes, he offers a seed. He cannot sow something in the soil of your heart. Only you can." (07:37)

  • Believers are warned never to join the devil's “team” by agreeing with accusation and negative self-talk.
  • Quote:

    "What we don't want to do is be a double agent... moving with a different kingdom. Out of the kingdom of darkness comes this flow of accusation... Do not ever join his force team." (06:45-08:05)

Honoring the Blood of Jesus and Moving Beyond the Past

• The cleansing power of Jesus' blood deletes the past.
  • If you’ve repented, old accusations are no longer true.
  • "If you’ve repented, then it is not true. I don’t care that it’s part of your past; it’s not part of your present, because the blood of Jesus deletes those things as though you had never missed it.” (10:12)

The Dangers of Worry and the Role of Peace

• Worry is described as accepting the thoughts of your opposer.
  • "Worry is taking a negative thought, a thought that will undo faith. And if we go to sleep at night worrying, we are giving worry a soft place to land." (12:20-13:15)
  • Instead, believers should go to bed at peace, in worship, allowing God’s movement in their lives even during sleep.
  • “Never go to bed with worry. Never go to bed fearful.” (13:15)

Drawing on the Wisdom and Mind of Christ

• In difficulties, believers are not alone.
  • "With him, he turns everything easy... you’re authorized to move from the difficult flow to the easy flow by incorporating Him, by drawing on Him." (14:50-16:10)
  • Key Scripture Referenced: "Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I’ll give you rest... My yoke is easy, my burden is light." (Paraphrased, 16:30)
  • The mind of Christ is available to every believer (17:30).
  • Complicated situations are simple for God, and a single word of wisdom can untangle them (18:00).

Testimonies and Practical Application

• Nancy shares stories demonstrating God’s guidance and wisdom in real situations:
  • Testimony about a person asking Jesus how to unattach burdens from their life, and Jesus promising to show them step by step (20:20).
  • Her own experience after her husband's unexpected death, facing overwhelming decisions and responsibilities:

    "What are you going to do about this? ...I’m not touching any of that in my thought life because none of that has to be answered today. You know when it’s going to get answered? When I hear what God says, that’s when it gets answered." (22:00)

  • The importance of refusing to move under pressure and waiting for God’s direction.

The Necessity of Following the Holy Spirit

• Developing spiritual sensitivity is vital:
  • Feed on the Word, pray in the Holy Spirit (other tongues) to increase awareness of His leading (24:15).
  • Pay attention to where you have peace in your spirit, not in your mind.

    "Ignore your mind... What do you have peace about inwardly? ...If your spirit doesn’t have peace about something, don’t do it. I don’t care how much it makes sense." (25:05-25:45)

  • The Holy Spirit imparts the wisdom of God for every issue.

Memorable Closing Thought

• Main takeaway:

  "Remember, Jesus said this to me: You have failed many, many times. But I never have. So I share my success with you. When you draw on in Christ, you just draw on success. When you draw on who he is and how he’s leading you, now you come into the flow of success because the successful one is in you." (26:35)
