Release Date: March 6, 2026

Episode Overview

In this episode, Nancy Dufresne continues her extended teaching series, "In Christ I Can," exploring themes of faith, healing, renewing the mind, and living out the blessings and authority that belong to all believers in Christ. The central focus in Part 200 is on obedience—how responding to God's Word and commands is key to receiving His best, experiencing blessings, and becoming a conduit for God's works in the world. Drawing from the words of Jesus, the example of Kenneth Hagin, and Psalm 112, Nancy thoroughly unpacks practical steps for believers to transition from merely knowing God's promises to actively walking in them.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Power and Presence of God for Healing

[00:10-00:41]

• The episode opens with a stirring reminder that "there's enough power in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one."
• Listeners are encouraged to receive God’s power right where they are:
  • "Say I receive that power. I receive it right now."
• This frames the episode’s central message: God’s power is always present, but it must be actively received and responded to.

2. Resources for Growing in ‘In Him’ Realities

[00:43-03:26]

• Nancy shares about free resources available for listeners, notably the "In Him" Scriptures booklet and a comprehensive listing from a friend’s research of 229 translations.
• She emphasizes the importance of meditating on these scriptures to truly take ownership and establish the Word in one’s spirit.
• "Because it's by you meditating on them that you take ownership of them." [02:25]

3. Jesus’ Example: The Father in Him, and Our Indwelling Christ

[03:26-06:32]

• Nancy unpacks John 14:10, where Jesus speaks of being in the Father, the Father being in Him, and only speaking/doing as the Father leads.
• She urges believers to shift from self-reliance to God-reliance:
  • "Before I go out, I pray to the Father and I say, Father, there's nothing in me to bless the people, but there's everything in the God in me to bless the people." [05:23]
• The same power and presence that was in Jesus is now in believers, ready to do works through us.

4. Responding to God Determines His Manifestation

[06:32-08:58]

• God’s part is to provide the power; our part is to respond in obedience and partnership.
• Practical advice:
  • "First think to say to yourself, what does the word say about this?" [07:54, referencing Kenneth Hagin]
• Obedience becomes the key for God to manifest His works through us.

5. Three Hindrances to Living in God’s Best (Jesus’ Visitation to Kenneth Hagin)

[08:58-11:34]

• Nancy relays a significant vision from Kenneth Hagin, where Jesus lists why most of His people don’t live in the fullness of His best:
  1. Not knowing what belongs to them in Christ.
  2. Not developing their faith to receive it.
  3. Disobedience.
• She reassures listeners that all three are fixable, but focuses particularly on the importance of obedience.

6. The Danger of Disobedience and the Blessing of Quick Obedience

[11:34-17:06]

• Disobedience opens the door to the devil, while obedience ensures God’s best and keeps us in a place of blessing.
• Notable insight:
  • "The quicker I obey, the shorter time I'm giving the devil to try to trouble me. ... The struggle before I obeyed was far worse... than just obeying God in the first place." [15:54]
• Delaying or struggling with obedience only invites unnecessary turmoil.

7. God’s Commands as Blessings, Not Burdens

[17:06-21:38]

• Drawing from Psalm 112:1, Nancy teaches the posture believers should take:
  • Praise the Lord as a lifestyle.
  • Fear/reverence God.
  • Delight greatly in His commandments.
• Obedience isn’t about the Ten Commandments alone, but every prompting or instruction from God.
• Quote:
  • "We are to choose to be greatly delighted that God ever commands something of us." [19:12]
• Illustrative story: A minister’s struggle with willingness illustrates that sometimes God tests our willingness rather than requiring specific actions.

8. Obedience Changes Generations and Attracts Blessing

[21:38-27:04]

• Nancy details the multi-generational impact of obedience from Psalm 112:
  • Blessings spilling into one’s children and beyond.
  • Material provision ("wealth and riches shall be in his house"), integrity, wisdom, and stability follow those who obey and delight in God’s commands.
• Obedience positions one for revelation, protection from fear, steadiness amid chaos, generosity, and lasting remembrance by God.
• Memorable moment:
  • "Circumstances aren't pushing him around. What puts others in upheaval in their lives? They won't be able to touch this man. This man is immovable." [25:57]
• Nancy repeatedly hammers home that obedience isn’t transactional—it is trust- and relationship-based, causing God’s blessing to overflow not just to the individual but to others.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the Presence of Power:

  • "There's enough power in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one... Power is present. That power is there to do a work, believe in what's not.

  • "He said, 'I didn't want you to pastor the church. I just wanted you to be willing to do what I said.' ... It'll bless our life to be willing. It troubles our life to kick against what God is commanding of us." – Nancy Dufresne [20:10]
