Episode Overview

This episode continues Nancy Dufresne’s long-running “In Christ I Can” teaching series, focusing on how believers are empowered through their union with Christ. The main theme centers on how all provision, answers, and miracles that Christians need are accessed through the Word—God’s words given to us in Christ. Nancy explores Colossians 2:9-10 and John 17, emphasizing that we “have everything when [we] have Christ,” and that our lives should be built on and energized by God’s words. She also delves into practical steps for believers: receiving, speaking, and acting upon the Word to see God’s power flow in their lives, especially regarding healing and fulfilling God’s plan.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Power of God’s Presence and Receiving by Faith

• The episode opens with a declaration that God’s healing power is available in every room, hospital, and circumstance ([00:10]):
  • “There’s enough power in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one…that power is there to do a work.”
• Listeners are encouraged to personally receive God’s power—aloud, as a declaration ([00:41]):
  • “Say, ‘I receive that power. I receive that power. I receive it right now...from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.’”

Repetition and Meditation in the Word

• Nancy urges listeners not just to hear truth once, but repeatedly, likening it to watering a seed ([00:52]–[03:15]):
  • “The first time we hear the truth taught…the seed of God’s Word is being sown in our heart. But every time we hear that truth afterwards, that seed is being watered.”
  • “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”

Our Position and Provision in Christ

• Colossians 2:9–10 is a foundational passage:
  • “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.” ([03:40])
• Every resource needed for God’s plan—peace, healing, victory—has been “put into Christ,” and believers, being in Christ, can draw on these at any time ([04:55]):
  • “All we have to do is draw on Him, yield to Him, and let Him work through us.”

The Union With the Father Is the Foundation of Faith

• Our oneness with God through Christ is what brings confidence and ease to faith ([05:30]):
  • “We don’t struggle with our faith when we realize I’m in union with the Father...He is in me, to fulfill through me what He has planned.”
• God’s plan for each life is individual, but must be carried out in partnership, not independence (“...we’re allowing him to perform it through us.”)

Calling and Completion of Our Work on Earth

• John 17 is explored as a model of Jesus’s priorities before His crucifixion ([07:30]).
  • “None of us should leave till we finish what we’re born for. And we’re the ones who have something to say about our exit out of this earth.” ([14:30])

Notable Quote:

• “We should not let sickness and disease and different things of opposition decide our exit. We decide our exit. And we choose not to exit until we have finished the work that God gave us to do.” ([14:47])

Jesus, the Love Gift, and the Purpose of Eternal Life

• Jesus is presented as God’s love gift for all humanity (using John 3:16 as anchor) ([09:15]).

  • “Every man needs a Savior. And the good news is every man has one…the only thing we have to do is receive this love gift from the Father.”

• Clarification between “Creator” and “Father” ([11:08]):

  • “God is the Creator of all men, but He’s not the Father of all men…He has to be received as Father. And He will not force Himself upon anyone because His honor is so great.”

The Centrality of Words in God’s Kingdom

• Profound teaching on the importance and creative power of words ([15:55]):
  • Jesus gave us “the words which Thou gavest Me”—God’s words are the operative method for believers walking in God’s supply and fulfilling their purpose ([17:05]):
    • “With words, everything that God has authored for us can be fulfilled.”

Notable Quote:

• “Miracles came about because of words. Storms were calmed because of words. Bodies were healed…And it was with words. It was the same words Jesus spoke that came from God.” ([18:29])

Receiving, Speaking, and Acting on the Word

• Every answer, miracle, or manifestation needed by the believer “begins with words” ([20:30]):
  • “Circumstances change…Emotions can change at a whim…But we are called to live…based on words.” ([22:43])
• God’s words are containers with the power to bring themselves to pass ([23:05]):
  • “The words of God contain something. They contain the ability to fulfill what the words say.”

Practical Example ([24:38]):

• Quoting Matthew 8:17: “When we say those words…there’s enough power in those words to heal us and bring about the healing that we need.”

Notable Quote:

• “Thank God for power. But without God’s words, we would not even know how to cooperate with power.” ([25:05])

On Receiving Words We May Not Understand

• Testimony about Kenneth Hagin modeling how to receive words from God even when the mind doesn’t comprehend ([26:00]):

  • “You can receive words that you don’t really fully understand with your mind. If God says it, I accept it into my spirit…and so we receive words by faith.”

• Miracles operate in the realm of revelation—“miracles live in words” ([27:05]):

  • “The more we understand of the Word of God, the more we can cooperate with his word. And that Word will manifest as miracles and answers and healings and victories in our life.”

The Link Between Hearing and Healing

• When Jesus ministered, people “came to hear and be healed”—emphasizing that healing flowed through the reception of His words ([28:24]):

  • “If they received the words, they received the healing. If they rejected the words, they were rejecting what the words could fulfill.”

• Teaching is set as the “cure for unbelief” ([29:10]):

  • “Teaching is how we offer people the understanding so that they will receive words instead of reject words.”
