Date: December 26, 2025
Host: Nancy Dufresne
Theme: The Power of Repetition in Faith, Healing, and Manifesting God’s Promises

Main Theme Overview

In this episode, Nancy Dufresne explores the necessity of consistently planting, watering, and confessing God’s Word to experience faith and the manifestation of His promises—especially healing. She explains that faith is a process that requires repetition, discipline, and partnership with the Holy Spirit, urging listeners not just to hear God’s Word but to immerse themselves in it until it overflows in every area of their lives.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Power is Present—Right Now

• Nancy begins by affirming that there is enough power “in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one,” encouraging listeners to receive that power by faith.
  • “Say, I receive that power. I receive it right now…from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.” (00:10–00:46)

2. Why Repetition Matters in Faith

• The approach of the podcast is intentionally repetitive, which Nancy explains is not redundancy but essential faith building:

  • “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. As we say things over and over to you, and as you hear the same thing over and over, what happens? God doesn’t just author something in you, but he waters what has been authored in you.” (00:52–02:09)

• Repetition is about planting and watering the seed of the Word so that it can eventually produce fruit and manifest in our lives.

3. Planting vs. Manifestation of God’s Word

• Illustration: You can’t make a recipe that calls for tomatoes just by throwing in a tomato seed. Likewise, you must allow the Word to grow in your life before expecting results.
  • “The Word is in seed form. We have to plant that word in us, let it grow, let it bear fruit, and then we pick that fruit and we apply it to our situation.” (03:10–03:41)

4. Faith is a Process, Not an Event

• Nancy shares a quote from Smith Wigglesworth:
  • “First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear.” (04:28–04:40)
  • Faith is built through daily discipline and ongoing devotion, highlighted with Brother Copeland’s saying,
    • “Faith is a discipline. It’s a consistent flow of our life. We don’t have moments of faith. We live by faith, we walk by faith.” (04:45–05:00)

5. Faith is Our Currency in God’s Kingdom

• Citing Mark 11:24, Nancy illustrates that faith—not money—is how we receive anything from God.
  • “Everything in God’s kingdom is about faith. We transact our business with heaven on the currency of faith.” (05:10–05:25)

6. Repetition: God vs. The Devil

• The devil repeats threats to get us to believe lies, just as repetition builds faith in God’s Word.
  • “The Devil…tries to imitate how God operates… He repeats a threat… because he thinks the more he says it, the more true it is. Listen, God is the only one who says something that’s true.” (07:51–08:22)
• Importance of ensuring our internal “loop” is filled with God’s truth, not the repetition of the enemy.

7. Acknowledging Every Good Thing in Christ

• Quoting Philemon 1:6, Nancy explains that we activate faith by acknowledging and speaking God’s promises.

  • “Our faith becomes effectual as we acknowledge every good thing that belongs to us in Christ. And we know this. The more we say it, the more we have it. The less we say it, the less we have it.” (09:13–09:49)

• Notable Quote:

  • “It’s not enough to hear. We hear the Word over and over…why? So that we’ll know what to say and…what to speak.” (11:00–11:13)

8. Faith Requires Both Love and Action

• Faith is received by hearing but released by speaking—and it only works by love:
  • “Faith comes by hearing… but faith is not released by hearing. Faith is released by speaking. Faith is released by acting on the Word of God.” (11:38–12:27)
• If our love isn’t developed, our faith won’t go far.

9. Speeding Up the Manifestation of God’s Promises

• Becoming full of the Word makes the promise bigger than the problem; this is how answers “speed up” into manifestation.
  • “When the promise is bigger to us than the problem… manifestation comes.” (14:30–14:38)

10. Illustrative Testimonies and Examples

• Lillian B. Yeomans’ Story:

  • Dr. Yeomans’ overwhelming addiction was broken as she immersed herself in the healing miracles of Jesus, eventually becoming so occupied with the Word that her symptoms left without her even noticing when.
    • “She became so absorbed with the Word, immersed in the word of God…she looked up one day and recognized all the symptoms are gone…she didn’t even know when they left.” (16:56–18:15)

• Nancy’s Personal Example:

  • Nancy recounts a nagging physical symptom and how her breakthrough came only after ceasing to “wait on God” and instead saturating herself daily with faith teaching:
    • “After three weeks of listening to that…every single symptom was gone. And I never even knew when it left.” (22:10–22:22)

11. How We Treat the Word

• “How we treat the Word is how the Word will treat us. If we give little notice to the Word, we’ll have little flow of the Word in our life. But if we'll give a great notice and a great place to the Word, then that Word will show such blessing in our life because we're the ones who determine how the Word is manifesting in our life.” (20:59–21:28)

12. Practical Application: Medical Analogy

• People are diligent in following doctors’ instructions for healing—multiple appointments, tests, medications—but often only give God a fleeting moment.
  • “If we would give God the exact same amount of attention that we give to the doctors… it's so much easier to give ourselves to the Word and then give ourselves to medical processes…” (24:09–24:40)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Faith is our currency. Yes, there are things that call for money in this life, but it's faith that receives that money. Everything is not about money. Everything in God's kingdom is about faith.” (05:13)

• “It’s not repetition that equals truth, it’s hearing God’s word repeatedly that builds truth in us.” (08:13)

• “You can have faith in your heart, but your faith is not heard until you say something. Your faith is not spent until you say something.” (10:40)

• “Faith comes by hearing, but faith is not released by hearing… Faith is released by speaking.” (11:47)

• “If we're troubled in our bodies, if we're troubled in our minds, if we're troubled by some circumstance, that's simply an invitation to get fuller of the Word. Because if we're less than full, any old thing can fill our tank…” (19:17)

• “How we treat the Word is how the Word will treat us.” (20:59)
