Episode Overview

In this episode, Nancy Dufresne continues her "In Christ I Can" series (Part 132), focusing on the power of acknowledging what God has provided for us in Christ. She explores the importance of revelation, the role of angels in healing ministry, and how faith becomes effective through speaking and acknowledging the Word. Nancy underscores that believers are not just to passively possess what Christ has done but to actively partake and manifest those blessings—especially healing and provision—by acknowledging them specifically in daily life.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Power Is Present: Receive Where You Are

• Main Point: God's healing power is always present, wherever you are—even in a hospital bed (00:10).
  • Nancy exhorts: “Say, I receive that power. I receive that power right now from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.” (00:23)
• Insight: Need isn't about striving; it's about acceptance and receiving what’s already provided through Christ.

2. Value of Revelation over Routine

• Main Point: While prayer is important, revelation from the Word is crucial for meeting needs (01:58).
  • “When revelation of the Word comes, needs are met.”
• Role of Prayer: Prayer positions believers to receive revelation but action must follow insight.

3. Who We Are in Christ: The End of Struggle

• Key Principle: Understanding identity in Christ ends struggle because every need is met in Him (02:55).
  • "When we find out who we are in Christ, the struggle is over."
• Best Life: All provision, help, and supply are “put in Christ” for us to receive.

4. Acknowledging Christ in Us: Model from Jesus

• Example: Jesus declared, “My Father in me, he does the works,” illustrating how we should acknowledge Christ in us (04:12).
  • Believers should declare: “Christ is in me. The greater One is in me. The Holy Ghost is in me. I'm in Christ Jesus. He’s in me, and He’s working through me.” (04:53)

5. A Story of Angels Assigned for Healing

• Testimony: Nancy shares her husband's vision where he saw 100 angels assigned to assist in his healing ministry (06:10).
  • She clarifies: “Are angels healers? No, Jesus is the healer, but they cooperate with the healer.” (08:02)
• OT Example: Reference to the angel stirring the waters at Bethesda in John 5—healing as God’s advertisement to humanity of His love (09:17).
• Angelic Ministry: Angels are “ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation” (Hebrews 1:14) (11:30).

6. Continuation and Transfer of Ministry

• After Her Husband’s Passing: 50 of the angels stayed with Nancy for her ministry; 50 were assigned to other ministers (17:00).
  • “If you’ll be faithful with the 50 that work with you, then more will come.” (18:09)
• How to Be Faithful: By talking about them, thereby giving them permission to work (18:45).

7. The Principle of Acknowledging to Activate

• What You Acknowledge, Flows: Both positively and negatively; whatever you rehearse, speak, or dwell on comes into motion in your life (20:10).
  • "What you acknowledge works for you. What you fail to acknowledge won't work for you." (19:55)
• Practical Direction: Rather than acknowledge pain, lack, or offense, focus on healing, love, provision, and the Spirit’s guidance (22:02).

8. The Role of Words and Specificity

• Scripture Reference: Philemon 1:6 — faith becomes effective “by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” (24:33)
  • “It’s not enough to possess it; we must partake by acknowledging it.”
• Be Specific: Don’t just generally thank God for healing; declare where and what you need specifically (e.g., “healing in my heart, my back, my joints”). (25:57)
  • “God’s healing power can’t just land anywhere. Faith needs to be specific.”

9. Mind and Meditation: Guarding Acknowledgment

• Watch Your Meditation: What you think about is what you’re acknowledging. Meditate on the Word, not the problem (Joshua 1:8). (26:32)
• Personal Example: Nancy shares being corrected by God for focusing on an unnecessary burden, at the expense of fellowship with Him (26:50).
  • “You can think about that if you want, but you have to give up fellowship with Me.” (27:07)
