Teachings from Nancy Dufresne
“In Christ, You Can Do It!” by Nancy Dufresne
In a recent service, Brother Copeland gave a testimony of something God said to him in the 1970s. Brother and Sister Copeland were just learning the principles of prosperity from the Word and were using their faith to get out of debt.
During this time, God spoke to Brother Copeland and said, “I want you to sow $50,000 into Kenneth Hagin’s ministry.” At the time God said this, Brother and Sister Copeland didn’t have in their own resources that amount to give. But when Brother Copeland heard this command from God, he answered, “In Christ, I have it! And in Christ, I can give it!”
Listen to the great skill of that answer! Brother Copeland didn’t answer God based on his own resources, but he answered based on what belonged to him in Christ. In Christ, no need goes unmet. Outside of Christ, he couldn’t give that, but IN Christ, he had it to give!
"Properly Define Faith" by Nancy Dufresne
Receiving and manifestation are 2 different things. “Receiving” is dealing with your spirit – “manifestation” is dealing with the natural realm. “Receiving” is something you do with your spirit, your heart. Before something from God manifests in the natural realm, it must FIRST be received with your spirit.
God is a Spirit, and He deals with us through our spirit. When we receive something from God, we receive it with our spirit first – then it will manifest in the natural realm. That’s why we can know on the inside of us that we have something before there’s evidence of it in the natural realm.
