Episode 937 | In Christ I Can, Part 177
Date: February 3, 2026
Host: Nancy Dufresne & Dufresne Ministries

Episode Overview

This episode continues the "In Christ I Can" series, focusing on the believer’s identity and power “in Christ.” Nancy Dufresne teaches how the key to fulfilling God’s plan isn’t in personal striving, but in recognizing and drawing on the presence and power of Christ within. Through scriptural examples, especially Abraham’s faith journey, she unpacks the vital spiritual law of "calling those things which be not as though they were," and urges listeners to align their words with what God has spoken—believing and confessing God’s Word regardless of present circumstances, especially in the arenas of healing, provision, and life challenges.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Recognizing God's Power Within (00:52–04:40)

• God’s Power Is Present: Regardless of your situation—sick room, hospital, everyday life—God’s healing and delivering power is available right where you are.

  • Quote: “Try to get something, but notice that he’s already made it yours. It’s present right where you’re at.” (00:14, Narrator)
  • Responsive Confession: “I receive that power right now from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.” (00:43, Nancy Dufresne)

• “God-inside mindedness”: Success in God’s plan comes from acknowledging, responding to, and yielding to the presence of God within you.

  • Quote: “He authored a plan for your life, but He never intended that you fulfill it apart from Him. He intends to fulfill it through you.” (02:06, Nancy Dufresne)

2. The Relief of Yielding to God (04:41–07:06)

• No Struggle Required: If you're struggling, it's often because you’re trying to do things apart from God. Instead, recognize Jesus, the better One, within you.

  • Quote: “When He’s involved, all struggle is gone. I’m not trying to do better—I’m finding out about the better One in me.” (05:40, Nancy Dufresne)

• Jesus' Yoke is Easy: Align yourself with God’s plan and let Him carry the heaviness.

  • “Pick up His yoke… because when we put Him to work for us, then He will fulfill that plan through us.” (06:18, Nancy Dufresne)

3. Perspective: Who, Not What, You’re Facing (07:07–10:40)

• Life Is About Who You’re Facing: Fixation on problems diminishes faith; focusing on Christ within increases it.

  • Quote: “If we’re absorbed at looking at the wrong thing, we can have a sense of being overwhelmed… Looking at the wrong thing can take faith out of you.” (09:08, Nancy Dufresne)

• View Circumstances through Faith: Even when believing for tangible things (healing, finances), don't focus on needs, but on the Provider and Healer.

  • "It all matters where we’re looking… Part of faith is having a fixed gaze: what not to look at, and what to look at." (09:45, Nancy Dufresne)

4. Contentment in Christ (10:41–13:44)

• Learning Biblical Contentment: Citing Philippians 4:11, Paul’s contentment isn’t about passivity but about inner satisfaction regardless of circumstances.

  • Quote: “I have learned how to be content… Satisfied to the point where I’m not disturbed or disquieted in whatever state I am.” (11:47, Nancy Dufresne)

• Words and Faith: What you listen to and focus on determines whether faith is being deposited in you—or depleted.

5. Abraham: Model of Faith (13:45–17:31)

• Abraham’s Faith Process: God called Abraham to leave the familiar—not looking back prepared him for his future.

  • Quote: “Don’t be mindful of where you came out of, because you don’t want to be drawn back… Abraham did not say, ‘My family’s here…’ He would have missed what God had for him.” (15:21, Nancy Dufresne)

• Faith Develops Over Time: Abraham waited 25 years from God’s promise to Isaac’s birth, developing in faith along the way.

6. Faith Speaks and Acts—“Calling Things That Be Not as Though They Were” (17:32–23:47)

• The Law of Faith: Faith acts on God's words as present reality, regardless of visible evidence.

  • Quote: “God had made him to be something, but it was going to take his faith so he could partake of what God had made him.” (18:54, Nancy Dufresne)

• Changing Your Words, Changing Your World: God changed Abram’s name to Abraham (“father of many nations”), which activated the promise.

  • “Within three months of changing his name, Sarah becomes pregnant… Once you start calling and putting the same words in your mouth that God has given us to say, it won’t take long for things to begin to manifest.” (20:19, Nancy Dufresne)

7. Believing What God Sees, Not Just What You Feel (23:48–26:35)

• Living by God’s Perspective: God operates outside time; He saw Jesus bear our sickness, and reports it to us through the Word.

  • Quote: “God sits in eternity… and then He reports back to us what He has seen… He saw the day that sin was laid on Jesus, sickness laid on Jesus, poverty laid on Jesus, and He bore it.” (25:05, Nancy Dufresne)

• Our Agreement Matters: To manifest what God has given, we must agree with Him in word—repeating what He has said.

8. Faith’s Creative Power—Saying What You Want to See (26:36–26:59)

• Genesis Model: God didn’t describe the darkness; He spoke light.

  • “God was seeing darkness, but He didn’t say what He saw. He said what He wanted… You talk what you want, because faith will bring what you want into what you see.” (26:36, Nancy Dufresne)

• Hold Fast to the Confession: Say what God says until you see it manifest.
