Welcome back to the Christian Cafe, where we're not just serving up your average cup of spiritual java. Today's brew is a robust blend, rich with the aroma of divine reverence as we explore the journey from anointing to the very weight of God's glory. A.W. Tozer joins us, offering wisdom on handling the holy with the care it demands. Sip slowly, friends, as we immerse ourselves in a discussion that promises to elevate your heart closer to the heavens and deepen your understanding of what it truly means to be in God's sacred presence.
Have you ever felt a stirring within to rediscover the core of your worship? This episode is a sanctuary for reflection as we strip away the excesses of modern church practices to reveal the pure heart of devotion. We'll navigate through biblical times to draw lessons from the high priest's reverence and the dire consequences of losing God's glory. It's a poignant reminder that our spiritual abode's role is not just to exist but to thrive as a beacon of God's presence. By making room for the Almighty, we become vessels for the miraculous, reshaping our understanding of the church's purpose in showcasing God's splendor.
As the world seems to spin into chaos, echoing the biblical prophecies of Matthew 24, we anchor ourselves in the pursuit of what truly matters—God's presence in our church and in our lives. This episode is an invitation to weigh the significance of this divine pursuit against the casual familiarity with which we sometimes dare to approach the holy. Through the sobering tale of Uzzah and the Ark, we're reminded of the gravity of God's standards of holiness and the unique path He has charted for each of us. So, let's join hands and hearts as we seek to carry God's glory with the reverence it deserves, transforming our worship into a true reflection of His majesty.

Welcome Welcome to my world, the Christian Cafe.
00:01:41.951 --> 00:01:43.843
Glad you came.
00:01:43.843 --> 00:01:48.245
Come on, in, sit down, glad to have you, man, it's good to be back.
00:01:49.140 --> 00:02:05.768
It's been a while since I've been on I guess a couple months or so Been busy Doing a lot of things and just glad to be back with you guys, just getting ready to spread the word with you and talk to you about the goodness of God.
00:02:05.768 --> 00:02:15.307
I hope you've been doing all right and God's been blessing you and keeping you and just pouring out His blessings upon you, because God is good to us.
00:02:15.307 --> 00:02:21.164
I don't know what you're having to face, but I do know one thing God is good.
00:02:21.164 --> 00:02:24.167
He's been good to me and I know he's being good to you.
00:02:24.167 --> 00:02:26.306
We've just got to put our faith in Him.
00:02:26.306 --> 00:02:29.709
Again, thank you for tuning in to the podcast.
00:02:29.709 --> 00:02:33.549
I'm expecting God to minister to us today.
00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:40.288
We're going to continue in our book that we have been talking about and going through the God Chasers.
00:02:40.288 --> 00:02:50.266
We're going to be getting into Chapter 6 here in a little while and we're going to talk about just moving from the anointing to glory, how to handle the holy.
00:02:50.266 --> 00:02:52.365
That's a great topic.
00:02:52.365 --> 00:02:53.748
I'm excited to get into that.
00:02:53.748 --> 00:02:57.008
First, let me just talk to you just a little bit.
00:02:57.008 --> 00:03:00.770
I'd like for you too, if you'd like, to subscribe to my podcast.
00:03:00.770 --> 00:03:08.705
We're on a lot of different venues Apple Podcasts, google and so many others, even Spotify.
00:03:08.705 --> 00:03:20.092
If you would like to subscribe to us, check us out and just hit that subscribe button and you can send us an email at thechristiancafe2022 at gmailcom.
00:03:20.092 --> 00:03:24.128
Let us know what you think about the podcast and God is leading you to support us.
00:03:24.128 --> 00:03:25.872
Oh, by all means, do that.
00:03:25.872 --> 00:03:32.491
We don't do this for money, but it does cost a little bit and God's providing so far and we'd like to get support.
00:03:32.491 --> 00:03:35.989
So that would be awesome if we could.
00:03:35.989 --> 00:03:46.913
If not, we're still going to bring God's goodness to you and bring the Word to you, because I believe that in this day and time that we live in, we need to be telling about good news.
00:03:46.913 --> 00:03:51.912
We've been hearing so much about bad news across the United States right now.
00:03:51.912 --> 00:03:55.289
Until you know, good news is a good thing.
00:03:56.961 --> 00:03:59.150
I do not like negativity.
00:03:59.150 --> 00:04:03.991
I do not like seeing what's going across the news channels.
00:04:03.991 --> 00:04:14.312
I got any more where I don't even pay attention to the news and that's something important that comes on, because all they talk about is negativity and how this person's doing that and this, that and the other.
00:04:14.312 --> 00:04:23.428
But I still believe in what the Bible says, that we are subject to God, and he is our leader, he is our Father.
00:04:23.428 --> 00:04:28.423
He's the one that's going to provide for us, no matter what the world is doing.
00:04:28.423 --> 00:04:34.947
He's going to provide, and I believe that because, like I said, he is good to us and he'll take care of us.
00:04:36.029 --> 00:04:45.733
So drop us a line, let us know what you think about the podcast, and if there's something you would like for us to talk about, we would love to do that too.
00:04:45.733 --> 00:04:52.526
We're hoping to have a special guest on here in a few weeks, and that's going to be exciting.
00:04:52.526 --> 00:04:53.529
We're looking forward to that.
00:04:53.529 --> 00:05:02.531
So tune in with us and sit back and relax, and we're going to get started here very shortly, back into Chapter 6.
00:05:02.531 --> 00:05:09.482
And let's talk a little bit about getting into the holies, because that's where we want to be at.
00:05:09.482 --> 00:05:27.452
Let's take a short break and we will be right back.
00:05:34.958 --> 00:05:38.850
All righty, I had to get me a cup of coffee, something to drink here.
00:05:38.850 --> 00:05:43.690
I'll sit down here and just relax and get comfortable a little bit.
00:05:43.690 --> 00:05:49.172
We're going to get back into our book, the God Chasers, and we're going to jump into chapter six.
00:05:49.172 --> 00:05:52.490
If you've got this book, open it up and follow right along with us.
00:05:52.490 --> 00:05:58.552
We'll be reading some and commenting a little bit on the other and here and there.
00:05:58.552 --> 00:06:03.651
If you don't have this book, you can send me an email and I'll be glad to send it out to you free of charge.
00:06:03.651 --> 00:06:12.062
Like I said in episodes before, I've read this book.
00:06:12.062 --> 00:06:13.887
You can send me an email and I'll be glad to send it out to you free of charge.
00:06:13.887 --> 00:06:16.973
Like I said in episodes before, I've read this book two or three times and every single time I read it there's something.
00:06:16.973 --> 00:06:19.480
I get out of it, something greater, and I'm just excited to share it with you.
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:25.435
I know it's taken us a while and I try not to take up too much of your time, but we want to kind of get through this chapter if possible.
00:06:25.435 --> 00:06:27.632
Probably won't, because it's taken us a while and I try not to take up too much of your time, but we want to kind of get through this chapter if possible.
00:06:27.632 --> 00:06:39.853
Probably won't, because it's a pretty lengthy chapter, but we're going to get right into it today and it's chapter six, called how to Handle the Holy Moving from Anointing to Glory.
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:47.454
Do you quietly bow your head in reverence when you step into the average church?
00:06:47.454 --> 00:06:51.529
I would be surprised if your answer is yes.
00:06:51.529 --> 00:07:08.771
Ray W Tozer said that my life changed forever on the October weekend in Houston, texas, when God's presence invaded the atmosphere like a thunderbolt and split the podium at the Sunday service.
00:07:08.771 --> 00:07:15.273
I'll never forget telling my friend the pastor you know God could have killed you.
00:07:15.273 --> 00:07:17.627
I wasn't laughing when I said it.
00:07:17.627 --> 00:07:24.112
It was as if God had said I'm here and I want you to respect my presence.
00:07:24.112 --> 00:07:29.031
A picture of Uzziah's grave had popped into my mind.
00:07:29.031 --> 00:07:34.432
We didn't know what we were asking for when we said we wanted God.
00:07:34.432 --> 00:07:39.411
I know I thought I did, but I didn't.
00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:45.773
When God actually showed up, none of us were prepared for the reality of his presence.
00:07:45.773 --> 00:07:53.733
As I've already mentioned earlier in this book, there was very little preaching because we didn't have a choice.
00:07:53.733 --> 00:08:06.413
God repossessed his church for a period of time and he wouldn't allow anything to happen that he hadn't specifically ordained for that service.
00:08:06.413 --> 00:08:23.274
The thick blanket of his tangible presence was so heavy that I received an up-close and personal understanding of what is meant by God's word when it says in 1 Kings, 8, 10, and 11,.
00:08:23.274 --> 00:08:38.629
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister because the cloud for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
00:08:38.629 --> 00:08:49.934
God came so suddenly and so forcefully into that church building that we were afraid to do anything, unless he specifically told us to do it.
00:08:49.934 --> 00:08:58.313
His presence was always there, of course, but not the weighty manifest presence we experienced at certain times.
00:08:58.313 --> 00:09:03.884
In those moments, all we could do was sit there trembling.
00:09:03.884 --> 00:09:05.024
All we could do was sit there trembling.
00:09:05.024 --> 00:09:10.149
We were afraid to take an offering without specific permission from God.
00:09:10.149 --> 00:09:15.553
We kept asking each other Do you think it's okay to take an offering?
00:09:15.553 --> 00:09:18.635
Do you think we should do this?
00:09:18.635 --> 00:09:22.243
What about that?
00:09:22.243 --> 00:09:27.653
Why were we so hesitant about things most of us had done thousands of times before?
00:09:27.653 --> 00:09:39.682
We were amateurs at handling the holy.
00:09:39.682 --> 00:09:39.942
We still are.
00:09:39.962 --> 00:09:42.148
I have noticed that early on in visitations of God's manifest presence.
00:09:42.148 --> 00:09:53.905
He comes suddenly and without warning, but in subsequent visitation he comes only by invitation, in other words, displayed hunger.
00:09:53.905 --> 00:10:01.106
The crux of the matter is simple Do you really want him to come?
00:10:01.106 --> 00:10:06.111
Are you willing to pay the cost of becoming a God chaser?
00:10:06.111 --> 00:10:14.433
Then you will have to learn how to properly reverence, handle and steward the holiness of God.
00:10:14.433 --> 00:10:34.917
Let me ask those questions again to you Do we really want him to come when we ask him to, to come when we ask him to, and are we willing to pay the price, or pay the cost, of being a God-chaser?
00:10:34.917 --> 00:10:41.244
And we say that we are, we even testify that we want him to come in a manner that we've never experienced.
00:10:41.244 --> 00:10:43.366
But if and when he does, are we ready for it?
00:10:43.366 --> 00:10:44.809
Are we ready?
00:10:44.809 --> 00:10:47.053
Are we going to properly reverence him?
00:10:47.053 --> 00:10:54.241
Are we going to be able to handle and steward the holiness of God?
00:10:54.241 --> 00:10:59.024
That's a topic we'll have to delve into some other time, but we're going to get right back into the book here.
00:10:59.024 --> 00:11:05.190
Aw Tozer was deeply concerned about our loss of holiness in the church.
00:11:06.330 --> 00:11:15.937
He noticed that the average church was losing that sense of sacredness in their worship services and it grieved him.
00:11:15.937 --> 00:11:27.466
To him, that lack of reverence meant that people didn't think God's presence was in the church or in their church, and it probably wasn't.
00:11:27.466 --> 00:11:38.753
Tozer observed that the yearning and desiring of the spiritual life was losing out to worldly secularism, just like today.
00:11:38.753 --> 00:11:42.120
Such an environment does not produce revival.
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:55.751
As a result, tozer felt that God may actually look elsewhere if the church does not come back to him, to a relationship with him and not just his stuff.
00:11:55.751 --> 00:12:09.293
We can look all around in the religious world today and we can see all these programs and all these light shows and all these other things, thinking that's what God wants to get his attention.
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.304
But I disagree.
00:12:13.304 --> 00:12:24.533
God's presence can come with no sound in the church, no music playing, and I'm not saying that's what we need to do, I'm just saying we get caught up on that.
00:12:24.533 --> 00:12:30.249
There's nothing wrong with good praise and worship music or good people or good singing or good music.
00:12:30.249 --> 00:12:31.051
There's nothing wrong with that.
00:12:31.051 --> 00:12:36.769
But I think sometimes that we get caught up in those things that we think everything's got to be perfect.
00:12:36.769 --> 00:12:42.706
But, saints, we're not a perfect church, we just serve a perfect God.
00:12:42.706 --> 00:12:53.154
And in our attempt to do things perfectly in the church, we mess it up to the fact that we forget about the reason why we do it.
00:12:53.154 --> 00:12:58.731
And we do it because it's either show or it's just something we're expected to do.
00:12:58.731 --> 00:13:01.889
But God wants us to worship him from our heart.
00:13:01.889 --> 00:13:04.288
He wants us to desire his presence.
00:13:04.288 --> 00:13:05.346
He wants us to desire him from our heart.
00:13:05.346 --> 00:13:06.150
He wants us to desire his presence.
00:13:06.150 --> 00:13:17.032
He wants us to desire a spiritual life with him, one that is not focused on tangible things, but one that is focused on a spiritual life with him.
00:13:18.860 --> 00:13:29.245
I now know why the high priest of old would say to their fellow priest tie a rope around my ankle, because I'm going into the place where the glory of God abides.
00:13:29.245 --> 00:13:37.702
I've done everything I know to make myself ready, but I am in awe of God.
00:13:37.702 --> 00:13:40.625
I'm not afraid of God, I love him.
00:13:40.625 --> 00:13:48.296
But I now have a respect for the glory and the holy things of God that I confess I didn't have before.
00:13:48.296 --> 00:13:55.433
It used to be easy to handle the anointing, but now I know it is a sacred thing.
00:13:56.380 --> 00:14:00.350
Now I am careful to pray two things before I minister.
00:14:00.350 --> 00:14:06.725
In most cases I pray a prayer of thanksgiving, first of all saying thank you, lord, for visiting us.
00:14:06.725 --> 00:14:09.346
Then I ask the second part of the prayer.
00:14:09.346 --> 00:14:29.721
Please stay, lord, if you remember the barren woman who prepared the prophet's room for Elijah in 2 Kings 4, he was rewarded with a son.
00:14:29.721 --> 00:14:31.730
When Satan took him away in premature death, god sent the prophet to raise him back to life.
00:14:31.750 --> 00:14:32.994
Satan cannot steal what God has birthed.
00:14:32.994 --> 00:14:38.789
Let me say that again Satan cannot steal what God has birthed.
00:14:38.789 --> 00:14:48.554
But God will only birth things to people who make room for the miraculous, by faith Strong statement.
00:14:48.554 --> 00:14:52.769
That is why I am careful to thank the Lord for coming.
00:14:52.769 --> 00:14:57.410
Then I tell him that we have made provisions for him to come again.
00:14:57.410 --> 00:15:03.753
Lord, we're going to be here worshiping you on Wednesday, thursday and Friday.
00:15:03.753 --> 00:15:08.842
Our sole purpose is to praise your name and seek your lovely face.
00:15:08.842 --> 00:15:13.072
By faith, I believe that God will visit us once again.
00:15:13.072 --> 00:15:31.044
I know from his word that when God visits someone, he causes new and precious things to be born and even if Satan tries to kill them, god will move heaven and earth to breathe life back into what he has birthed.
00:15:31.044 --> 00:15:37.981
We need to learn how to handle the holy things of God with greater tenderness and sensitivity.
00:15:37.981 --> 00:15:44.389
We must remember that the good can quickly become the worst enemy of the best.
00:15:44.389 --> 00:15:51.177
If you want God's best, then you will have to sacrifice what you think is good and acceptable.
00:15:51.177 --> 00:16:01.465
If you and I can find out what is acceptable to him the best, then the promise of visitation becomes real.
00:16:01.465 --> 00:16:05.287
I think I've seen a glimpse of what I think God is doing.
00:16:05.287 --> 00:16:07.993
He is moving into position.
00:16:09.561 --> 00:16:27.640
Chapter 13 of the book of 1st Chronicles tells us that after David was crowned king over Israel and defeated the Philistines, he decided to move the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem, of the covenant back to Jerusalem.
00:16:27.640 --> 00:16:36.581
There was a move of God in the sense that his Old Testament, abode of the manifest presence of God, was being moved from its interim resting place to the place where his glory belonged.
00:16:36.581 --> 00:16:40.647
God is wanting to move into his true resting place.
00:16:40.647 --> 00:16:47.255
Jerusalem is spoken of as a type of shadow, type and shadow of the church.
00:16:47.255 --> 00:17:00.586
The apostle Paul spoke of Jerusalem, which is above, as the mother of us all, referring allegorically to the church in Galatians 4.26.
00:17:00.586 --> 00:17:08.476
This is a picture of the church, the spiritual city or a boat of God.
00:17:08.476 --> 00:17:16.704
God wants his glory in the church on display for the world to see how many believe that.
00:17:16.704 --> 00:17:21.791
I think God wants to see his church in actions.
00:17:21.791 --> 00:17:22.983
Let me see if I can find that verse of scripture his church in actions.
00:17:22.983 --> 00:17:24.888
Let me see if I can find that verse of scripture.
00:17:24.888 --> 00:17:32.613
It talked about chapter four and 26 in Galatians.
00:17:32.613 --> 00:17:32.673
Um.
00:17:32.673 --> 00:17:40.743
It says but the woman, but the other woman, sarah, represents the heavenly Jerusalem.
00:17:40.743 --> 00:17:44.546
She is the free woman and she is our mother.
00:17:44.546 --> 00:17:48.125
That was the New Living Translations.
00:17:48.125 --> 00:17:55.321
The New King James Version says but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
00:17:55.321 --> 00:17:58.605
See, jerusalem is free and he wants his church to be free too.
00:17:58.605 --> 00:18:02.942
He don't want us to be bound.
00:18:05.316 --> 00:18:15.621
There were times when God's glory, his kabod or weighty presence, was moved out of its rightful place through the sin or indifference of men.
00:18:15.621 --> 00:18:26.923
The grandson of the old priest Eli remains an eternal landmark of God's presence From man's worst laid plans.
00:18:26.923 --> 00:18:40.945
As the newborn boy's mother lay dying, she told the woman at her side that the boy would be named Incubab, which literally means the glory has departed.
00:18:40.945 --> 00:18:53.565
Her labor began moments after she learned that the ark of God had been taken by the Philistines in battle and that her husband, phineas, was slain.
00:18:53.565 --> 00:19:00.165
Eli's son, phineas and Horphani had sinned against God.
00:19:00.165 --> 00:19:04.039
I think I said that right, if not correct me, please.
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:10.038
They had sinned against God even while attending to their priestly duties before the Lord.
00:19:10.038 --> 00:19:15.148
Is this still the case today in countless ministries.
00:19:15.148 --> 00:19:18.008
The same fate may well await them.
00:19:18.008 --> 00:19:22.681
Their legacy may well be remembered under the name Ichabod.
00:19:23.162 --> 00:19:30.064
The glory has departed, and sadly, let me just add here, in a lot of our churches that is the case.
00:19:30.064 --> 00:19:35.858
The glory of God is gone, no one is being saved, no one's been delivered or set free.
00:19:35.858 --> 00:19:43.599
And when the glory of God is left the church, it's the same way.
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:50.544
Here you might as well write Incubat over the doorway because God's no longer there, god's not performing his miracles any longer.
00:19:50.544 --> 00:20:06.682
And let me just say, if you're in a church like that now you need to find your place where God's glory is at, so you can be delivered and set free of anything that's bothering you or anything that's binding you from stepping into the next, next, next level, uh, that god has placed in your life.
00:20:06.682 --> 00:20:18.589
In the 20 years or so that passed after the loss of the ark, saul, the king never showed any interest in bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.
00:20:18.589 --> 00:20:20.701
But David felt differently.
00:20:20.701 --> 00:20:29.209
He had a burning passion to see God's presence restored to its proper place in Jerusalem.
00:20:29.209 --> 00:20:33.005
He wanted to live under the shadow of God's glory.
00:20:33.005 --> 00:20:36.565
The church has been playing church far too long.
00:20:37.394 --> 00:20:41.866
It is time for someone to stand up and say the era of Saul is over.
00:20:41.866 --> 00:20:44.561
Saul was a king after the flesh.
00:20:44.561 --> 00:20:47.943
David was a king after the spirit.
00:20:47.943 --> 00:20:59.923
Saul was a king chosen because he stood head and shoulders above everyone else according to outward appearances and qualifications, and he appeared to be the right one.
00:20:59.923 --> 00:21:04.723
He was named king only because the people pressed God for second best.
00:21:04.723 --> 00:21:14.624
Saul quickly lost his God-given mandate to rule by choosing to please men by his actions instead of God.
00:21:14.624 --> 00:21:19.487
There is no room for a politician in the stewardship of God.
00:21:19.487 --> 00:21:28.846
We have only one public to please as children of God, and that is the audience of one who made us for his own pleasure.
00:21:28.846 --> 00:21:40.249
David, on the other hand, was God's chosen king, a man who had been groomed all his life through intimate relationship.
00:21:40.996 --> 00:21:52.986
When God ripped the kingdom out of Saul's hand to put it into David's hand, david said in essence through his actions, we're not going to pursue God in the fleshly ways any longer.
00:21:52.986 --> 00:22:02.959
When people like you and me stand up and declare our intentions as god chasers, the church will never be the same again.
00:22:02.959 --> 00:22:08.868
But we've got to do that, guys, and there's no greater time than right now.
00:22:08.868 --> 00:22:13.003
I mean, just look at the things around us, look at everything that's taking place.
00:22:13.003 --> 00:22:18.462
The moral society, I mean there's not even more.
00:22:18.462 --> 00:22:19.545
It's so immorally.
00:22:20.086 --> 00:22:23.459
Uh, they're allowing things that I don't know about when I was growing up.
00:22:23.459 --> 00:22:29.328
If it was on tv now, um, what was showing back then?
00:22:29.328 --> 00:22:31.038
Now it'd be a bit different story.
00:22:31.038 --> 00:22:34.786
But I mean, you didn't see things like that in my day.
00:22:34.786 --> 00:22:38.119
Uh, it's so much more publicly aware now.
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:38.721
We got.
00:22:38.721 --> 00:22:41.676
We got people that's doing all this stuff.
00:22:41.676 --> 00:22:42.759
That's not even right.
00:22:42.859 --> 00:22:48.376
Even inside churches, we have forgot about God and we've started pleasing man.
00:22:48.376 --> 00:22:51.583
We've allowed certain things inside the church.
00:22:51.583 --> 00:22:56.898
We've allowed people to minister that have a lifestyle of homosexuality.
00:22:56.898 --> 00:22:57.759
And yes, I said it.
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:01.946
You can get mad all you want to, but that's not God, that's sin.
00:23:01.946 --> 00:23:03.588
It says so in the scriptures.
00:23:08.057 --> 00:23:16.621
And when we start allowing things like that into the house of God and saying it's Bible, and saying that they love God, well, they may love God and God loves them, but God does not love their sin.
00:23:16.621 --> 00:23:27.676
It is sin, guys, I don't care which way you slice it, it's still sin and I may lose followers, I may lose people to quit listening, but that's all right.
00:23:27.676 --> 00:23:29.161
At least you heard it.
00:23:29.161 --> 00:23:35.097
Just get in the word, because it's there, it's wrong and we need to change.
00:23:35.097 --> 00:23:44.611
We need to stand up as a church and begin calling sin sin and kick the devil out of our pulpits and have him in a place where he's supposed to be, under our feet.
00:23:45.415 --> 00:23:52.317
But you know, the scripture talks about how things were going to take place, and it's more greater now than it's ever been.
00:23:52.317 --> 00:24:00.175
And I'm just praying that we as a church will wake up and we'll see what's taking place and and and do something.
00:24:00.175 --> 00:24:04.894
And I know that a lot of us we can't get out and go and and talk against it.
00:24:04.894 --> 00:24:07.299
But one thing we can do we can pray.
00:24:07.299 --> 00:24:20.105
We can, uh, bombard, bombard heaven and pray for those that are lost and pray for our leaders and and our religious leaders that they'll come back to the, to the scriptures and come back to god.
00:24:20.105 --> 00:24:24.616
Because it's going to take that in this last days for us to stand.
00:24:24.616 --> 00:24:35.656
We're not going to be able to stand if we keep patting sin on the back and saying it's okay to do this, guys, we'll take a break and we'll be right back.
00:24:57.467 --> 00:25:02.549
Here at the Christian Cafe, we believe in serving up a hot, fresh word for our listeners.
00:25:02.549 --> 00:25:10.252

Again, email us at vthechristiancafe2022 at gmailcom.
00:25:49.824 --> 00:25:51.625
Thanks and have a great day.
00:26:05.351 --> 00:26:14.654
We were talking right before we took a break, about things that are taking place in our world, in our nation, and how sin was running rampant.
00:26:14.654 --> 00:26:17.921
I want to remind you about what it said in Matthew 24.
00:26:17.921 --> 00:26:19.604
And how sin was running rampant.
00:26:19.604 --> 00:26:22.108
I want to remind you about what it said in Matthew 24.
00:26:22.108 --> 00:26:29.540
You know, the disciples had come to Mount Olives and they had arrived there with Jesus and they were sitting with him and they're talking to him and they ask him.
00:26:29.540 --> 00:26:30.242
You know, what can we expect?
00:26:30.242 --> 00:26:35.198
What is a sign that we can look for for the end of time, for the completion of the age?
00:26:35.198 --> 00:26:41.720
And Jesus just simply said I'm going to read this from Matthew 24, from the Passion Translation.
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:46.105
It says At that time, deception will run rampant.
00:26:46.105 --> 00:26:59.921
So beware that you are not fooled, for many will appear on the scene claiming my authority or saying about themselves I am the anointed one, and they will lead many astray.
00:26:59.921 --> 00:27:02.247
It's already taken place, guys.
00:27:02.247 --> 00:27:08.188
You will hear wars and revolutions on every side, with more rumors of wars to come.
00:27:08.188 --> 00:27:19.003
Don't panic or give in to your fears, for the breaking apart of the world's system is destined to happen, but it won't yet be the end.
00:00:01.421 --> 00:00:20.074
00:00:20.074 --> 00:00:33.131
00:00:33.131 --> 00:00:40.069
00:00:40.069 --> 00:00:48.564
00:00:48.564 --> 00:00:50.887
00:00:50.887 --> 00:00:57.881
00:00:57.881 --> 00:01:36.406
00:01:36.406 --> 00:01:41.951
00:01:41.951 --> 00:01:43.843
00:01:43.843 --> 00:01:48.245
00:01:49.140 --> 00:02:05.768
00:02:05.768 --> 00:02:15.307
00:02:15.307 --> 00:02:21.164
00:02:21.164 --> 00:02:24.167
00:02:24.167 --> 00:02:26.306
00:02:26.306 --> 00:02:29.709
00:02:29.709 --> 00:02:33.549
00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:40.288
00:02:40.288 --> 00:02:50.266
00:02:50.266 --> 00:02:52.365
00:02:52.365 --> 00:02:53.748
00:02:53.748 --> 00:02:57.008
00:02:57.008 --> 00:03:00.770
00:03:00.770 --> 00:03:08.705
00:03:08.705 --> 00:03:20.092
00:03:20.092 --> 00:03:24.128
00:03:24.128 --> 00:03:25.872
00:03:25.872 --> 00:03:32.491
00:03:32.491 --> 00:03:35.989
00:03:35.989 --> 00:03:46.913
00:03:46.913 --> 00:03:51.912
00:03:51.912 --> 00:03:55.289
00:03:56.961 --> 00:03:59.150
00:03:59.150 --> 00:04:03.991
00:04:03.991 --> 00:04:14.312
00:04:14.312 --> 00:04:23.428
00:04:23.428 --> 00:04:28.423
00:04:28.423 --> 00:04:34.947
00:04:36.029 --> 00:04:45.733
00:04:45.733 --> 00:04:52.526
00:04:52.526 --> 00:04:53.529
00:04:53.529 --> 00:05:02.531
00:05:02.531 --> 00:05:09.482
00:05:09.482 --> 00:05:27.452
00:05:34.958 --> 00:05:38.850
00:05:38.850 --> 00:05:43.690
00:05:43.690 --> 00:05:49.172
00:05:49.172 --> 00:05:52.490
00:05:52.490 --> 00:05:58.552
00:05:58.552 --> 00:06:03.651
00:06:03.651 --> 00:06:12.062
00:06:12.062 --> 00:06:13.887
00:06:13.887 --> 00:06:16.973
00:06:16.973 --> 00:06:19.480
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:25.435
00:06:25.435 --> 00:06:27.632
00:06:27.632 --> 00:06:39.853
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:47.454
00:06:47.454 --> 00:06:51.529
00:06:51.529 --> 00:07:08.771
00:07:08.771 --> 00:07:15.273
00:07:15.273 --> 00:07:17.627
00:07:17.627 --> 00:07:24.112
00:07:24.112 --> 00:07:29.031
00:07:29.031 --> 00:07:34.432
00:07:34.432 --> 00:07:39.411
00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:45.773
00:07:45.773 --> 00:07:53.733
00:07:53.733 --> 00:08:06.413

00:09:05.024 --> 00:09:10.149
00:09:10.149 --> 00:09:15.553
00:09:15.553 --> 00:09:18.635
00:09:18.635 --> 00:09:22.243

00:09:27.653 --> 00:09:39.682
00:09:39.682 --> 00:09:39.942
00:09:39.962 --> 00:09:42.148
00:09:42.148 --> 00:09:53.905
00:09:53.905 --> 00:10:01.106
00:10:01.106 --> 00:10:06.111
00:10:06.111 --> 00:10:14.433
00:10:14.433 --> 00:10:34.917
00:10:34.917 --> 00:10:41.244
00:10:41.244 --> 00:10:43.366
00:10:43.366 --> 00:10:44.809
00:10:44.809 --> 00:10:47.053
00:10:47.053 --> 00:10:54.241
00:10:54.241 --> 00:10:59.024
00:10:59.024 --> 00:11:05.190
00:11:06.330 --> 00:11:15.937
00:11:15.937 --> 00:11:27.466
00:11:27.466 --> 00:11:38.753
00:11:38.753 --> 00:11:42.120
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:55.751
