Teachings from Nancy Dufresne
"Those Who Know, Celebrate!" by Nancy Dufresne
Colossians 2:15 tells us, “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it (the Cross).”
Second Corinthians 2:14 reads, “Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.”
I especially appreciate the Conybeare translation of this verse: “But thanks be to God who leads me on from place to place in the train of His triumph, to CELEBRATE His victory over the enemies of Christ.” (These enemies are demons – not people.)
“NOW Healed!” by Nancy Dufresne
Ephesians 1:3 tells us, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” The Norlie translation reads, “…who has blessed us with everything that Heaven itself enjoys.”
What is Heaven enjoying right now? Everything good and perfect – including total health and wholeness. Since Heaven is enjoying that right now, that’s what belongs to us NOW, even before we go to Heaven. God has already blessed us with Heaven’s best; that belongs to us now because we belong to Christ!
"Come To Him And Hear" by Nancy Dufresne
Isaiah 1:18 & 19 reads, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.”
The Living Bible translation reads, “Come, let’s talk this over, says the Lord; no matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can take it out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you white as wool! If you will only let me help you, if you will only obey, then I will make you rich!”
