Podcast Summary: Jesus the Healer w/ Nancy Dufresne Audio Podcast

Episode 883 | In Christ I Can, Part 123
Date: November 19, 2025
Host: Nancy Dufresne, Dufresne Ministries

Main Theme

This episode continues Nancy Dufresne’s in-depth teaching on the believer's identity and authority in Christ, specifically focusing on the truth that victory over the devil and all forms of opposition is already accomplished “in Christ.” Listeners are encouraged to renew their minds, stand on the Word, and actively enforce the victory Jesus has secured, rather than striving for what has already been achieved.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Victory is Already Ours in Christ

• Nancy emphasizes that healing, deliverance, and provision don’t need to be sought—they are already given to believers through Christ.
• Power is always present to heal, and faith is needed to receive what is already offered ([00:10-00:41]).

“Power is present. That power is there to do a work. … He’s already made it yours. It’s present right where you’re at. Say ‘I receive that power. I receive it right now.’”
—Nancy Dufresne [00:17]

2. The Authority and Position of the Believer

• Drawing from Ephesians 1:20-23 and Ephesians 2, Nancy teaches that Jesus is seated at God’s right hand “far above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name,” and believers are seated with Him ([03:05-06:30]).
• Believers act as an “occupying army,” enforcing the victory Jesus has already won.

“We are not engaging in the same fight that Jesus took on, but we are an occupying army. Jesus won the victory and then we’re just there occupying our victory.”
—Nancy Dufresne [04:17]

3. No Need to Fear Opposition

• Opposition will come, but the outcome is determined by our response from a place of authority, not fear ([06:30-08:17]).
• The devil is afraid of the anointing in believers and remembers his defeat at the hands of Jesus.

“Because we’re in Christ, doesn’t mean that opposition will leave us alone, but it means we know the outcome and we write the outcome.”
—Nancy Dufresne [02:28]

4. Victory is Maintained through Faith and Words

• The believer’s fight is not against the devil, but the “good fight of faith”—which is a fight of words, not of struggle ([13:00-15:30]).
• Quoting the Word, as Jesus did in the wilderness, is how we enforce Satan’s defeat.

“The good fight of faith is a fight of words… When opposition shows up, we say, ‘In the name of Jesus, no you don’t.’… That pain has to leave.”
—Nancy Dufresne [13:57]

5. Understanding Defeat and Authority Over the Devil

• Satan is a defeated enemy but not yet imprisoned, so he continues to “walk about seeking whom he may devour” ([19:05-20:21]).
• Every encounter with the devil should be approached with the mindset, “he is already defeated.”

“You are authorized to even live as though you have no enemy because he is a defeated enemy.”
—Nancy Dufresne [17:10]

6. Renewing the Mind and Not Yielding to the Mental Arena

• Satan's main tactic is to launch thoughts and suggestions to lure believers out of their position of faith and into the mental arena ([23:44-26:04]).
• The mind must be renewed with the Word, but faith comes from the spirit, not the mind.

“Anyone who is held in bondage by any addiction… they are not in bondage to the devil. They are in bondage to an unrenewed mind.”
—Nancy Dufresne [22:14]

• It's important not to engage in the wrong fight (worry, fear, depression), but instead stay in the “good fight”—standing on God’s Word.

7. Practical Application: Partaking of Victory by Faith

• Victory must be activated by faith. Simply possessing victory isn’t enough—you have to partake of it ([24:45-25:32]).
• Speaking faith-filled words like “healing is already my victory” engages the provision already present in Christ.

“That’s Jesus. Put the victory in you. You are the possessor of all victory. But it’s up to you to partake of it. How do you partake of it? By faith.”
—Nancy Dufresne [25:15]

8. Notable Quotes and Scriptural References

• Ephesians 1:20-23 & 2:4-6 — Shared seat with Christ
• 1 John 4:4 (Amplified & Living Bible) — “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world” ([16:00, 20:09])
• Mark 11:23 — Speak to the mountain
• 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 — Taking every thought captive

Memorable Moments & Encouragement

• Nancy leads listeners to speak and receive God’s power over their lives:

  “Say, ‘I receive that power. I receive it right now. From the top of my head to the soles of my feet.’”
  —Nancy Dufresne [00:41]

• She urges listeners not to be moved by symptoms or lack, but to confess their identity and authority:

  “I am the healed… I refuse to let lack steal my prosperity from me.”
  —Nancy Dufresne [09:33]

• Closing encouragement:

  “In every encounter, talk about the devil’s defeat before you see anything in this natural realm change… Just say those symptoms are already defeated.”
  —Nancy Dufresne [26:04]

Summary Takeaway

This episode is an uplifting reminder that believers are not called to struggle for victory but to stand in the authority Christ has already secured, renew their minds with the Word, and enforce Satan’s defeat through faith-filled words. The challenge is not to fight fear or problems mentally, but to abide in the spiritual reality and let the greater One inside bring victory into every area of life.

“Remember this: Jesus is the Healer.” —Nancy Dufresne [26:51]
