Podcast Summary: "In Christ I Can, Part 170"
Jesus the Healer w/ Nancy Dufresne Audio Podcast – Episode 930 (January 23, 2026)
Episode Overview
In this teaching-focused episode, Nancy Dufresne continues her long-running "In Christ I Can" series, unpacking the believer’s identity, authority, and inheritance in Christ. Emphasizing practical faith, Nancy shares personal testimonies and stories from other ministers to illustrate how revelation of one’s position in Christ changes the believer’s ability to receive healing, provision, and fulfill God’s impossible plans. A key focus is learning to operate from a place of confidence in Christ, rather than in one’s own resources, faith, or efforts.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. The Power of God’s Presence for Healing
- Nancy opens by reaffirming:
"There's enough power in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one that may be describing you… that power is there to do a work. Believe in what’s not [about] trying to get something, but notice that He’s already made it yours." (00:10)
- Listeners are encouraged to confess aloud that they receive God’s power, emphasizing healing as a present reality, not a distant possibility.
2. Understanding "In Him" Scriptures
- Nancy details resources her ministry has compiled—pamphlets and comprehensive documents listing all New Testament "In Him" Scriptures, referencing hundreds of translations:
"Once you see who you are in Christ, it establishes something in you that makes you immovable in the face of opposition." (01:18)
- Encourages daily feeding on and confessing these scriptures to build unshakeable identity and faith.
3. Our Fullness in Christ (Colossians 2:9-10)
- The foundational text:
"In Christ there is all of God in a human body. So you have everything when you have Christ." (03:30)
- God’s plan and every provision believers will ever need are already in Christ, who is in us.
- The genius of God’s plan: God gives us both the inheritance and the faith to access it.
"We can't even take credit [for faith] because it wasn’t even our own faith, it was God’s own faith that we were using and spending." (05:00)
4. Growth of Faith through Experience
- Nancy personalizes the journey, recalling her first faith step after being born again (believing for a Bible):
"Within moments after getting born again, that He would take care of every single need... My needs have grown since that day. I'm not just praying for a Bible." (07:50)
- As faith grows, what we can believe for grows:
"Our faith grows, we're able to lay hold of more... of what the plan of God holds for us." (08:45)
5. God’s Plan Requires the Impossible
- God’s plan is intentionally impossible for us alone, but fully possible "in Christ":
"Everything that He has planned for us is impossible for us apart from Him, but completely possible for Him through us." (09:40)
- Example: Her personal and ministry finances, believing for properties and buildings, paid through supernatural provision.
6. Kenneth Copeland Testimony – Practicing ‘In Christ’ Faith
- Nancy shares a pivotal story of Kenneth Copeland:
"God spoke to him and said, I want you to sow $50,000 into Kenneth Hagin's ministry... He didn’t try to figure out where am I going to get $50,000. What he did was he went to who he was in Christ to find his answer to that command." (11:40)
- Copeland’s response:
"'In Christ I have it, and in Christ I can give it.' So what is he saying? Outside of Christ, he didn’t have it, but in Christ, he had it." (12:18)
- Copeland took action with small steps, sowing coins daily until, miraculously, he exceeded the $50,000—demonstrating God’s multiplication when we act in faith.
7. Miracles Flow from Revelation
- Encourages listeners to meditate on "who I am in Christ" for every need:
"When you get the revelation ‘in Christ, that building is already provided for, that home is already provided for,’ then miracles flow out of the revelation." (17:45)
- Miracles are not the result of striving, but of revelation becoming real in the heart.
8. The Role of Faith and Action
- Faith is not passive:
"Faith is an act. It takes action... As we take action toward [paying bills, walking in provision], God's ability and God's provision will get in our action." (14:24)
- When facing needs (healing, finances, job, etc.), learn to answer:
"'In Christ I have that.' In Christ that's paid for. In Christ, I have all the resources." (21:55)
9. Hearing the Voice of the Spirit for Provision
- Nancy illustrates the process with a crisis testimony:
"The bank said, 'We want to know where you're getting $300,000 from by tomorrow.' Well, if I would have known... I would have already given it to them. But I knew this: In Christ, He's already provided for every need." (22:00)
- Instead of panicking, she prayed quietly in tongues, focusing on her spirit, allowing the revelation to "float up" from within:
"After 10 minutes… up came the revelation of God… in that revelation was my answer." (24:45)
- The miracle and solution come in the revelation, not in striving.
10. Resting in Christ vs. Striving
- The life-changing message:
"When we gain the light of who we are in Him, it puts us in a place of rest instead of a place of trying." (26:08)
- Struggle and anxiety are indicators to step back, "quit trying" and "start hearing some things"—hearing what God says within, drawing on the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
