Teachings from Nancy Dufresne
"Whose Report Will You Believe?" by Nancy Dufresne
Colossians 2:15 reads, “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” Since Jesus defeated Satan, spoiling principalities and powers, the only power Satan has left is the power of suggestion. He will suggest something to your mind to try to deceive you into believing it so that he can work it against you.
I like what God said to one minister: “When Satan suggests thoughts and images to you, it is much like the filming of a movie. When you watch a movie in the theater, even if something happens that you don't like, you're aware that it isn’t real – it’s just a movie, it’s just pretend.”
"Communing With God" by Nancy Dufresne
When God speaks to us, He doesn’t speak to our mind, He speaks to our spirit. Our spirit knows things that our mind hasn’t caught up with yet, so we must quiet the mind enough to hear what our spirit knows. Although our spirit knows things, until it dawns on our mind, we can’t walk it out. What the Holy Spirit communicates to our spirit will float up and enlighten our mind.
"Enjoying God’s Best" by Nancy Dufresne
Years ago, when my husband was ministering in Lima, Peru, God spoke to him and said, “Ninety-seven percent of My people are living beneath what I’ve provided for them. If I told you to take a whole year off from work, you ought to have enough money in your operating account to live on for at least one year, without touching any of your savings. If I told a pastor who had 100 families in his church to build a building, if that pastor is teaching the people the Word, and they are doing it, in one offering that congregation ought to be able to give one million dollars without touching their savings.” (That would be $10,000 per family.)
