Episode Overview

In this episode, Nancy Dufresne continues her expansive teaching series on what it means to live “In Christ.” She emphasizes the transformative power of faith, the believer’s spiritual inheritance, living in the presence of God, and the difference between striving for God’s blessings versus receiving them by faith.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Faith Over Senses: God’s Word Above Circumstances

• Nancy begins by encouraging the sick or struggling listeners to acknowledge the always-present power of God for healing and change. (00:10)
• She recounts an impactful testimony about a woman facing a medical diagnosis who learned to value God’s word above what she could physically see:
  • “Is what you see greater than what I say?” – God’s question shifted the woman’s focus, resulting in supernatural healing witnessed by those in the room. (03:31)
• Insight: Living by what God says places believers “above what we feel…above what circumstances show us.” (05:23)
• Memorable Quote:

  “Is what you see greater than what I say?” – Nancy Dufresne recounting the Spirit’s words, 04:50

2. Understanding Your Inheritance in Christ

• Nancy unpacks Colossians 2:9 (Living Bible):

  “For in Christ there is all of God in a human body. So you have everything when you have Christ. And you are filled with God through your union with Christ.” (11:30)

• Key Point: Everything God has provided—resources, plans, provision—He has placed “in Christ.” Believers simply receive by faith.
• The greatest aspect of our inheritance is not material, but “the fellowship and the presence of God Himself.” (13:10)

3. The Power and Safety of God’s Presence

• Nancy references John 17:3, Psalm 9:3, and Psalm 91:1–2, underscoring that knowing God and living in His presence is both the source of eternal life and protection from opposition. (15:30)
• Memorable Quote:

  “When we make His presence our dwelling place, we put ourselves outside the reach of opposition. Does opposition come? Yes. But we’re so far above it, we hardly even notice we’re being opposed.” – Nancy Dufresne, 17:52

4. Receiving, Not Earning, God’s Presence and Blessings

• Living “in Christ” and in God’s presence is not attained through trying harder, but by “turning” and acknowledging Him. (20:10)
  • “Living in my presence doesn’t come by earning, it comes by turning.” (20:25)
  • Nancy shares God’s reassurance: “No one has ever turned toward me and me not met them there.” (20:47)
• Daily Practice: She intentionally turns her thoughts to God every morning to “choose the flow” of her day. (22:13)

5. Supply Beyond Money – A Broader View of Prosperity

• Nancy challenges the narrow definition of prosperity as merely financial. (23:35)
• She explains Philippians 4:19, emphasizing that God promises “supply”—which may include money, favor, opportunities, relationships, and resources.
  • Shares a personal testimony: God provided not just money but also unique favor and donated services when purchasing and renovating a historic home. (24:02)
• Memorable Quote:

  “It’s not money that makes you prosperous. It’s who’s in you. It’s who’s with you that makes you prosperous.” – Nancy Dufresne, 24:45

6. Illustration: The Story of Joseph

• Nancy draws from the life of Joseph to demonstrate that true prosperity is God’s presence, not salary or circumstance:
  • Joseph, though a slave and not paid, was called “prosperous” because “the Lord was with him.”
  • His slavery turned into a divinely-appointed education in management, finance, and leadership. (26:35)
  • “Do you know that this was part of the supply of God? …God was supplying him with an education he would have never gotten as a shepherd boy…” (27:02)
• Application: The supply of God for believers is comprehensive—spiritual, emotional, practical.

7. Our Fully Funded, God-Authored Life

• God has already fully funded the plan He authored for each believer. The challenge is to discover and receive that supply by faith. (28:20)
• Nancy encourages listeners: “I don’t care what needs arise in your life. Say, ‘I have a supply for this!’” (28:40)
• Memorable Quote:

  “Our inheritance in Christ, and who we are in Christ, is not something we achieve. It’s something we receive, and we receive it by faith.” – Nancy Dufresne, 29:08
