Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Power for Healing and Transformation Is Present (00:10–01:12)

• Presence of Power: Nancy opens by reminding listeners, especially those in sickness, that God’s power is available right where they are:

  "There’s enough power in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one. That may be describing you."
  (00:10)

• Receiving by Faith: The focus is on receiving, not striving:

  "Say, I receive that power. I receive that power. I receive it right now."
  (00:35)

The Renewed Mind and Transformation (01:12–03:26)

• Faith Food: The Word of God is spiritual food that feeds both our spirit and renews our minds, leading to transformation.

• Living the Word:

  "What’s a renewed mind mean? It means that we’re finding out what the Word says. We’re bringing our thoughts into agreement, and then we’re implementing that word in our daily life…We’re living it."
  (02:15)

Jesus' Model: Oneness with the Father (03:26–08:25)

• Fellowship Brings Manifestation: Nancy reflects on John 14:10:

  "Jesus recognized that it was the Father in him that did the works. But Jesus had a role to do…he spoke words that came from God."
  (03:46)

• Personal Confession: Echoing Jesus’ words should be a believer’s confession:

  "I’m in the Father and the Father is in me. And therefore my life will reflect that union. My life will reflect that oneness."
  (05:30)

• A New Nature:

  "He doesn’t just improve our former nature. He nailed it to the cross, buried it, and gave us his own nature."
  (07:45)

Skillful Partaking: Realizing and Yielding to What’s Inside (08:25–11:00)

• Not about Trying Harder:

  "We’re just realizing we’re full of the better one and we’re living and drawing on the better one."
  (09:00)

• Practical Outworking:

  "If we’re going to draw on the better one, we have to think like the better one, speak like the better one, respond to the better one, and then all of life is elevated to his flow."
  (09:29)

The Cleansing Power of the Word (John 15:3) (11:00–14:30)

• God’s Word as a Cleansing Agent:

  "We have a divine cleansing agent called the Word of God, that as we take the Word as our divine prescription, it will clean sickness, symptoms, disease out of our body."
  (11:24)

• Stop Focusing on the Problem:

  "Many people… are trying to identify with their problem instead of just pouring in the Word… Pour in the Word, and it becomes the cleansing agent of our life."
  (12:30)

Possessing vs. Partaking (14:30–17:30)

• Discovery is Key:

  "It’s about us realizing what belongs to us, becoming knowledgeable with that, and then learning to draw on that and put the greater One to work for us."
  (14:42)

• Tragedy of Unaccessed Blessings:

  "Every Christian who died prematurely died with a healer in them. Every person who failed financially, they failed with provision in them... If you don’t, you’re going to leave it unaccessed."
  (16:10)

Knowledge Multiplies Grace and Peace (2 Peter 1:2–4) (17:30–20:53)

• Growing Through Knowledge:

  "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and the knowledge of Jesus our Lord… Ignorance is going to walk in less than what belongs to it."
  (17:56)

• Victory Already Won:

  "When Jesus defeated Satan, he defeated every flow of Satan’s kingdom… fear, doubt, unbelief, sickness... lack was defeated, depression was defeated."
  (19:21)

• Don’t Claim What’s Defeated:

  "When you sense fear, it’s not yours, it’s the devil’s… leave him with his fear. He’s the one that is the author of it, and he’s the one that’s to carry it, not you."
  (20:24)

The Importance of Forgetting the Past (20:53–24:30)

• Forgetting Enables Forward Movement:

  "The devil is constantly trying to get you to look back… to rob you of your faith. If you look back, it will hinder your faith."
  (21:00)

• Paul as Example:

  "Don’t you know that Paul of anybody, he had to forget what was behind him… Paul said I forget it. Why? Because the blood of Jesus has cleansed us from our past."
  (22:10)

• Forgive Others as Well as Yourself:

  "If you’re going to forget your past… you have to forget the past of someone else, too… God did not go and try to fix your past. He crucified it… you owe that to everyone else."
  (23:30)

• Forgiveness Is Not Endorsement:

  "Your forgiveness is not calling what they did right. But it is certainly causing you to be free from the power of that… sin, to trouble your life."
  (24:15)

Love Powers Faith (24:30+)

• Check Your Love Walk:

  "If symptoms are attaching themselves to my body, the first place I check is my love walk. Have I stepped out of love with anyone? Because when I step outside of love, my faith doesn’t work right."
  (24:40)
