Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Power of God’s Word is Present and Available

• Opening Exhortation: The episode opens with an encouragement that, “There's enough power in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one…power is present…it's present right where you're at. Say, I receive that power. I receive that power. I receive it right now.” (00:10)
• Immediate Application: Listeners are invited to declare receiving God’s healing power from “the top of my head…to the soles of my feet.” (00:43)

2. Becoming a Partaker: The Law of Faith

• Faith and Confession: It's not enough to merely know spiritual promises; believers must actively take part by sowing the Word into their hearts and speaking it aloud. “Faith is a law that will work every single time. But we have to work that law... faith has to speak what God says.” (02:00)
• Practical Process: The cycle is: Sow the Word (by saying it), water the Word (through continual confession), then reap a harvest.

3. Jesus Gave Us “Words” — Our Greatest Heavenly Inheritance

• John 17:8 Focus: Quoting Jesus’ prayer, “I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me...” (04:10). Dufresne stresses that, “The greatest thing that heaven could give us is words. Because with words, we can get anything else we need.” (04:42)
• Significance: God’s words carry His wisdom, power, and creative force. When we agree with and speak these words, we “move into the flow of God” and experience “days of heaven on earth.” (05:45)

4. The Kingdom Within: Living Heaven on Earth

• Jesus’ Teaching: “Jesus did not so much come and talk about going to heaven; he talked about bringing heaven to earth... the kingdom of God is within you.” (06:19)
• Application: When believers speak heaven’s words, they access heaven’s flow, enabling manifestations of God’s provision and power in everyday life.

5. How God Helps Us: A Personal Testimony

• Personal Story (Nancy): After her husband’s passing, Nancy describes how God brought Hebrews 13:6 to her spirit, “I will boldly say the Lord is my helper.” (13:48)
• God’s Direct Word: She recounts, “The way I help you is when you put My word in your mouth. If you don't speak My word, then I cannot be the help to you that I want to be.” (15:17)
• Takeaway: Speaking God’s Word out loud is the mechanism for receiving His help.

6. The Power of Agreement: Bible Examples

• Zechariah vs. Mary: Dufresne illustrates the importance of agreement with God’s words by referencing Zechariah (John the Baptist’s father) and Mary (Jesus’ mother).
  • Zechariah doubted the angel’s message and was rendered mute so his unbelief wouldn’t hinder God’s plan (21:03).
  • Mary’s response (“So be it done unto me according to thy word” - 22:30) allowed God’s plan for Jesus’ birth to proceed unhindered.
• Notable Insight: “It matters what we surround ourselves with when we're believing God for something... you have to guard your ears.”

7. Guarding Your Heart and Mind: The Voices Around You

• Fellowship & Influence: “If people are not finding out and discovering what belongs to them in Christ, they'll talk you out of faith many times.” (24:00)
• Advice: Walk in love, but do not allow disbelief or negative words from others to settle in your heart.

8. Faith in Action: The High Priest of Our Confession

• Key Teaching: “Jesus is called the high priest of our profession or of our confession... He's the high priest of faith released.” (25:14)
• Faith Must Be Released: “He can only fulfill faith released... when our faith goes into action, heaven can meet those words of faith and fulfill what our words say.” (25:41)

9. Receiving Beyond Understanding

• Quoting Kenneth Hagin: Nancy shares that we can receive with our spirit even when our mind does not understand, “With my spirit, I agreed. And I receive that into my spirit, even though my mind can't fully understand it.” (27:35)
• Importance: Don't limit God to what you can figure out; receive by faith.

10. Enlarging Your Capacity to Receive

• Personal Analogy: Nancy likens increasing spiritual capacity to her filling her grandchildren’s pockets with more candy than they could hold themselves (30:01).
• Application: “If we will agree with the words that God says, it enlarges our capacity to receive more.”
• Core Principle: God doesn’t give one Christian more than another; it’s about who is willing to receive and act on His Word.

11. The Role of Faith in Possessing God’s Promises

• Not Automatic: “Everything that God has made our possession in, it's faith that puts that to work in our life... don't just think that it'll operate automatically.” (32:19)
• Opposition: Believers must actively speak and believe because the enemy seeks to hinder these blessings.

12. Final Encouragement

• “What God has for you is so great. But we're to believe the words, receive them and speak them and let those words be performed in our lives. Amen.” (33:09)
