Podcast: Jesus the Healer w/ Nancy Dufresne Audio Podcast
Host: Nancy Dufresne (Dufresne Ministries)
Episode: 949 | In Christ I Can, Part 189
Date: February 19, 2026
Theme: Understanding our completeness in Christ and how faith is rooted in the unseen truths God reveals, not in visible circumstances.

Main Theme and Purpose

Nancy Dufresne continues her long-running teaching series “In Christ I Can,” focusing on believers’ union with Christ and the full inheritance that state brings. This episode emphasizes the transformative power of faith—specifically, living in the reality of what God’s Word says about us, rather than circumstances, symptoms, or feelings. Listeners are encouraged to meditate on scriptural truths, boldly declare God’s Word, and learn how faith draws on what God has already provided in Christ rather than striving for something more.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Power That’s Always Present

• Timestamps: 00:10–02:30
• Nancy opens by affirming that God's healing power is present everywhere—even in sick rooms and hospitals—and encourages listeners to “receive that power” by faith, not by striving.
  • "Power is present. 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. It's present right where you're at." [00:12]

2. Union With the Father: Jesus’ Example

• Timestamps: 02:30–06:00
• Focus on John 14:10 and how Jesus modeled openly confessing His union with the Father.
  • “In Christ, the greatest thing that belongs to us is God himself... Jesus was keeping it in the forefront of his awareness. The Father's in me, I'm in the Father.” [02:45]
• This stance angered religious leaders (and the devil), illustrating the spiritual opposition to our grasp of identity.

3. Faith Flows From Our Position in Christ

• Timestamps: 06:00–10:00
• The lesson transitions to Colossians 2:9-10:
  • In Christ, all of God is present bodily, and therefore, believers are “complete in Him.”
  • “You have everything when you have Christ. The King James says that we are complete in Him. What's that mean? Nothing is left out.” [08:05]
• Opposing symptoms or struggles should be answered with faith: “I'm not trying to get God to give us something different … I am complete in Him.” [08:50]

4. Living From a Higher Realm—Not Senses but Faith

• Timestamps: 10:00–15:00
• Encouragement to shift from living by physical senses to living by the spiritual realities revealed in the Word.
  • “God said, you know what? There's limits to that realm. So I authorize you to not ever live by that realm of the five physical senses again, I offer you a higher realm... the God realm.” [11:35]
• The realm we’re occupied with determines what manifests in our life.

5. The 'Movie Scene' Testimony: Refusing the Devil’s Pictures

• Timestamps: 15:00–18:30
• Nancy shares a striking testimony of a ministry couple who, after God told them not to accept what they saw or heard as “real,” resisted tragic medical reports about their daughter-in-law.
  • “We refuse to believe that picture is true... The doctor's report is not what governs them, it's what they choose to say, what they choose to focus on that governs them.” [16:50-17:40]
• The result: a miraculous and complete recovery.

6. Walking by God’s Sight, Not by Natural Sight

• Timestamps: 18:30–22:30
• Explores Matthew 8:17 (“Himself took our infirmities...”) and other scriptures, emphasizing that faith isn’t blind; it’s rooted in what God has seen and recorded, trusted above physical evidence.
  • “We're not walking blind when we walk by faith because we're walking by God's sight.” [13:20]
  • "We are not walking blind. We're walking by his view. We're walking by his eyes." [20:30]

7. Provision and the Foundation of the World

• Timestamps: 22:30–25:00
• Using creation as a metaphor, Nancy explains God’s principle of always providing before the need arises—both for original creation and for our lives in Christ.
  • “Before you ever have a need, I've already provided for you.” [23:00]
• Everything believers need is already stored in Christ, waiting for the “call of faith.”
  • “How did he help us? He put us in Christ. How did he help us? He provided everything for our life and stored it in the treasure box of Christ.” [24:30]

8. How God Helps: Putting His Word in Our Mouth

• Timestamps: 25:00–26:30
• God performs His Word as we boldly speak it. Nancy shares a personal story after her husband’s passing:
  • “And he said, when you put my word in your mouth, that's how I help you. If you don't put my word in your mouth, I can't help you, for I help you through my word.” [25:40]

9. The Cleansing Power of the Word

• Timestamps: 26:30–28:00
• John 15:3—Jesus’ word cleanses us. Instead of striving to fix ourselves, fill up on the Word and let it drive out what doesn’t belong.
  • “Start speaking the Word. Start feeding on the Word, and the Word will clean it out of your life.” [27:00]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Nancy Dufresne, on completeness:
  “When symptoms try to come, you say, no, you don’t—my healing is complete in Him.” [09:30]

• On the reality of faith:
  “We’re not trying to get God to give us something different. … I am complete in Him.” [08:45]

• On boldly declaring the Word:
  “The day we say it is the day he’s performing it. The day we fail to say it is a day he has to take off from performing it.” [26:15]

• On provision in Christ:
  “When Christ is in us, the treasure box of heaven is in us. And all it’s waiting for is for faith to reach in and draw out with the hand of faith anything you need.” [24:50]
