Mark Dupont- Emmanuel, God With Us

·1 hr 24 min·5 clips

A British lawyer in Dubai is about to receive a $200 billion commission but cares only about the open doors to share the gospel.

Mark Dupont opens with humor and personal background, noting his extensive international ministry since 1982 across various church traditions. He highlights a common denominator among effective ministries: a focus on God's kingdom rather than personal blessing. Reading from 1 Peter 2:9, he discusses Christians as a 'peculiar people' with a renewed mind and different value system. Dupont addresses the current global shaking—economically, socially, and politically—citing examples from Ukraine, Gaza, and California. He contrasts this with signs of spiritual acceleration, reporting increased church attendance and conversions in England, Germany, and France, with many new believers in their 20s and 30s. He shares a prophetic word about 'Daniel companies'—business leaders using their influence for kingdom purposes, illustrated by a Dubai-based lawyer set to receive a $200 billion commission but focused on gospel opportunities. Dupont recounts his move to Toronto in 1992 and an open vision of Niagara Falls, which preceded the Toronto Blessing outpouring from 1994-2001, attracting millions worldwide. He emphasizes the Holy Spirit's role, sharing a story of a retired London police officer instantly healed of severe injuries after five years of disability during a meeting in Harrow. Dupont details multiple long-term healings he has witnessed recently, including a woman with a 60-year digestive disease and three people with 30-year limps, all cured. He relates this to a season of God restoring the body of Christ and revealing hidden sin, comparing it to cleaning house for a wedding. Dupont contrasts Elon Musk's $500 billion wealth with the spiritual wealth of having God's presence within, citing biblical promises of security. He explains that Jesus ministered in the power of the Holy Spirit, and Christians can do the same, receiving the Spirit without measure. Dupont tells a story of a South African couple whose marriage was restored during the Toronto outpouring after years of bitterness, including an incident with a butcher knife. He discusses the Holy Spirit's indwelling from John 20, enabling communion with God, and the empowering from Acts 2 for boldness and witness. Dupont notes increasing Christian martyrdom in the U.S., but links persecution to revival growth, as seen in Uganda and China. He closes with a call from Luke 11 to ask for the Holy Spirit, leading into a ministry time with prayers for refreshing, jobs, and healings, including a specific word for someone with a right ankle issue. Dupont ends with an encouraging story of a woman in Taiwan who raised a man from death after a conference on healings and miracles.
