Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Power Is Present for Healing and Victory

• Nancy opens with a potent reminder that God’s power is available for healing and breakthrough “in every sick room and in every hospital room... That power is there to do a work, believe in what's not. Try to get something, but notice that he's already made it yours.” (00:10)
• She invites listeners to receive healing by faith, leading a short confession:
  • “Say, I receive that power. I receive it right now.” (00:33)
  • “From the top of my head... the soles of my feet.” (00:43)

Revelation Ends the Struggle

• Nancy teaches that lack of progress or struggle in the Christian life often arises from lacking revelation, not from an absence of faith or God’s willingness:
  • “When revelation of what God says to us comes... that's the end of struggle.” (01:03)
• She shares from personal experience, describing how life changed when she gained more understanding of the Word:
  • “I can look back over my life... there was so much struggle because there was so much of the Word I didn't know. But as I gained more and more understanding... life became easier... because you gain experience of the mastery of the Word in the face of opposition.” (02:00-03:01)

The Necessity of Spiritual Revelation (Ephesians 1:16-19)

• Nancy expounds on Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians, highlighting the importance of thankfulness for other believers and the power of even brief, faith-filled prayers:
  • “You can pray a long time without faith, and that long praying is not enough, but you can make mention for just a moment with faith, using your faith, and it's more than enough.” (06:06)
• Paul’s prayer:
  • That God would give the Spirit of wisdom and revelation “in the knowledge of Him... who you are in Him and who He is in you.” (08:18)
• Revelation is “given”:
  • “It’s not something you can earn or pray hard enough to qualify for. It's given. And who is it given to? Those who will accept it.” (09:17)

Interest Precedes Revelation: The Lesson from Moses

• Drawing from Moses’ story at the burning bush, Nancy explains only those who show interest and turn aside to seek God will receive further insight:
  • “If Moses hadn't been interested... God wouldn't have spoken to him. But it's when he put his interest in that direction.” (12:00)
• Similarly, “sometimes we don't have the light we should because we haven’t given our interest in a certain direction.” (12:35)

What Paul Prayed for Believers—Three Things (Ephesians 1:18-19)

• That “you may know what is the hope of His calling”: Who you are in Christ (14:07)
• That “you may know what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints”: What belongs to you (14:25)
• That “you may know what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us who believe”: What you can do with that resurrection power (14:46)

The Fullness of Christ—Colossians 2:9-10

• Nancy cites the Living Bible translation: “For in Christ there is all of God in a human body... so you have everything when you have Christ.” (16:47)
• The truth: “God, all of God, is in Christ, and then Christ is in us. So that means we have all of God because we're in Christ.” (17:20)

Dethroned Powers and the Wisdom of God—1 Corinthians 2:6-8

• Nancy contrasts the wisdom of God with the world’s wisdom, noting that “dethroned powers” (demonic forces) only rule because of ignorance:
  • “Satan has been a defeated foe and yet he’s ruling the world, though he's already been dethroned. How does a dethroned entity rule the world? The world is ignorant.” (19:56)
• Spiritual maturity brings the revelation that Satan is already defeated:
  • “The wisdom of the mature... is that Satan has already been dethroned and that the believer has victory over him in Christ.” (21:50)
• Key quote:
  • “The wisdom of the New Covenant is this: who we are in Christ, and our inheritance that belongs to us in Christ. That's the wisdom of God. So that's the principal thing.” (23:15)

Spiritual Maturity and Partaking of Inheritance

• Using an analogy of a child and driving, Nancy explains:
  • “If we remain spiritually immature or spiritually young, there’s our inheritance that belongs to us. But we're not always partaking of it... as we grow up in Christ... we say, wait a minute, there’s so much in my inheritance that I haven’t been partaking of and I'm going to start partaking of it.” (25:00)
• Maturity in Christ allows for full and active participation in the inheritance and dominion given to believers.

The Role of Revelation in Miracles and Healing

• “Some things that we're really, we say, well, I need a miracle when we really need revelation. And that revelation brings us into miracle flows.” (28:00)
• “Our inheritance already belongs to us. And if I could say this, some things that we're really, we say, well, I need a miracle when we really need revelation.” (28:28)

True Identity and Self-Image

• Nancy addresses believers who struggle with self-worth and identity:
  • “Your true identity is who you are in Him. Your self-image is who you are in Him. You don't have to build something apart from Him because God has made you one with Him and you are in Christ.” (31:30)

Practical Application & Exhortation

• Nancy urges listeners to “go back and watch any previous episodes... watch them over and over again so that these things can be authored in your spirit and you begin to meditate on them.” (34:10)
• Meditating in the Word and these truths brings spiritual transformation and the ability to “live as rich as we are.” (34:45)
