Teachings from Nancy Dufresne
"A Christmas Example Of Faith" by Nancy Dufresne
The events and story of Jesus’ birth are the reason for this Christmas season. But when I look at the account of these events recorded in the book of Luke, I see something very important that took place, even before Jesus was born.
"Doing The Right Thing Every Day" by Nancy Dufresne
I’m reminded of a statement that Dr. Lester Sumrall made: “I don’t do anything great – I just do something all the time!” He didn’t measure the success of his life by the periodic dramatic moments of his life, but rather, by just doing the right thing every day. Practicing the Word and making right choices every day were what added up to living a life of greatness. Every day, he was a doer of the Word! He walked by faith in God’s Word.
"Consider Not" by Nancy Dufresne
When Jesus ministered to the sick, He said, “According to your faith be it unto you” (Matt. 9:29). Faith is simply believing what God says in His Word and acting like it’s true. Faith means acting on the Word!
Even if circumstances and situations around us tell us something different than what God says, we choose to still believe what God says about it. If our body and what we feel tell us something different than what God’s Word says, we still choose to believe what God says. If thoughts bombard our mind against what God says, we still choose to believe what He says.

In the teaching last month, I wrote about being “In Christ.” I want to continue along that line this month.
Isaiah 54:14 (AMPC) reads, “You shall ESTABLISH YOURSELF in righteousness (rightness, in conformity with God’s will and order): you shall be far from even the thought of oppression or destruction, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you.”
Your redemption REPOSITIONED you – FAR from oppression, destruction, fear, and terror!
But notice in this verse that we are instructed, “…establish yourself in righteousness….” No, we aren’t trying to establish a righteousness of our own, but we are to establish and build in our spirit the truth that Jesus already made us righteousness – it is a free gift from Him (Rom. 5:17). We aren’t righteous because we have done everything right, but because HE did everything right, then credited it to us as though WE did everything right!
