What If True Revival Begins With “I Just Want You”?

Hungry for a faith that feels alive again? We open the doors wide and sit with the difference between knowing about God and actually knowing Him—then trace a path back through focused worship, honest repentance, and adoration that costs us something. Fresh from a fire conference and renewed purpose, we share how chasing God’s presence reshapes our priorities, heals burnout, and clarifies our mission to make disciples.
We anchor the conversation in Mary’s alabaster moment from the Gospels—a vivid picture of humility and extravagant love. Her choice to dismantle her glory and honor Jesus exposes our preference for performance over presence and challenges the way many modern services are built. Are our gatherings tailored for God’s delight or our comfort? We talk about seeking God’s face over His hand, the danger of overanalyzing spiritual life, and the power of quieting every distraction to enter the secret place where peace and transformation take root.
We also face a hard truth about judgment: we say we want the lost saved, yet we often recoil at their mess. Through Scripture and transparent stories, we call for compassion that tells the truth and refuses hypocrisy. Along the way, we share updates about our growing global community, new discipleship plans (including video), and an open invitation to connect and send prayer requests. If your heart is ready to say, “Jesus, I just want You,” this conversation will help you make room—trading routine for relationship and blessings for the blesser.
If this spoke to you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others find the Christian Cafe. We’d love to hear your story and your prayer needs—reach out and join the conversation.

00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:01.759
Something that can deliver us and set us free from the bondage of sin.
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:10.719
We are ready to get back to our book and ready to celebrate what God has for us.
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:11.599
Amen.
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:17.120
I am so glad to be back with you.
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.080
So glad to be back today.
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.400
It is wonderful to be in the house with you.
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.919
A lot of things have taken place, guys.
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.719
I tell you what, it's been a wonderful time in the Lord.
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.719
Man, it seems like it's been a while, and I guess it has.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:48.400
The last uh podcast we done, we did a message that we preached at a home answering the call of God, which I thought was just marvelous.
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.080
And I hope you enjoyed it.
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:51.919
I hope you got something from it.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:04:04.080
Because I believe in the day that we're living in now, that we more than ever need to be answering the call of God.
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:11.919
There's so many people out there that's got a call on their life that they're just not using it.
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.879
For some reason it could be because they're scared or just don't believe that they're capable enough to do it.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.800
But if God called you, He'll take care of the rest of it.
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.720
All we gotta do is just answer the call, amen.
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.240
So we did that, and as I told you last time, we was getting ready to do our fire conference.
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.439
Man, let me tell you what, that was powerful.
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:46.879
We had three days of of nothing but the word and the prophetic word from the prophet of God that was there the first two nights and did a great word on Sunday.
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.680
I'm telling you what, it was marvelous.
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:58.160
I wish you could have been there because God performed some great things and and we saw some miracles, we saw some people getting saved and delivered.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.079
Man, it was powerful.
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.560
I could go on on about that, but I I won't.
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.800
I'll leave that to leave it alone because if I get started, I just won't stop.
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:13.920
Something ignited in me uh during the conference that, man, it's changed me.
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.839
And I want to keep that fire ignited inside of me.
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.319
I don't want to let it go out.
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:33.680
You know, we get I guess you might say we get overwhelmed or burnt out with things that we're doing and in church and at home and everything, and and we forget the reason that we're really here.
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:40.079
And we must not forget that our purpose here on this earth is not what we do on a daily basis.
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:51.439
It's not going to work on on our jobs and doing this and that, but our purpose here on this earth is to continue what God started with his disciples.
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:58.720
Because we all know that once he he when he left and went back to heaven after his his death, he left the disciples with power.
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:09.600
And we have that same power that the disciples had, but we have not yet decided that, hey, we're gonna do the same thing the disciples did.
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:17.839
We're not gonna go out and disciple people, we're not gonna go and and see people see people healed or delivered or or people saved, but that's what we're supposed to do.
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:25.199
It's not the nine to five job that we have, it's not raising a family, and I'm I'm not saying none of that's bad, I don't get me wrong.
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.279
I'm just saying that that's not our purpose.
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:36.800
Our purpose is to go and deliver the good news of Jesus Christ, and we fail to do that, amen.
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:52.639
So I want us my purpose here on this podcast and always has been, that I'm giving you word that you could use to be able to do what we're called to do.
00:06:53.600 --> 00:07:01.920
That's the whole reason that I started this podcast, I guess now three years ago, to get the word of God out.
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.040
And that people might be saved.
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:06.319
That's my whole goal.
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.240
I don't have any other goal than that.
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:15.680
And I I want everybody else to do the same, whatever way you want to do it, that's fine, because people need to hear.
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.079
Especially in a day and time we're living in.
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.639
We are living in some sad times.
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:33.360
But I know a God that is able to deliver, set free, and do all those things that we read in the scriptures through us.
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.639
But we've got to be willing, amen.
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:41.759
We've got to be willing first to do it, and I just I'm just so excited.
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:48.959
Like I said, get me started, and I can't stop because I'm excited about what God is doing with God's people.
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.000
I'm excited about what he's doing here on the Christian Cafe.
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.959
We have now moved into over 18 countries in the world.
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.199
People are listening to the podcast all over the world, and I'm so excited.
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.600
And I would love to hear from you.
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:08.079
If you're enjoying the podcast, I would love to hear hear something from you.
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:15.199
I would just drop me a line at my email at the Christian Cafe2022 at gmail.com.
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.720
If nothing, just say hey, you know, that'd be great.
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.560
Just to let me know that you are listening.
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.800
If you have a prayer request, drop that in.
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.240
Also follow us on our Facebook page, the Christian Cafe.
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:27.360
You can find us there.
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.519
And any place that they have podcasts, we're there.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.960
God is blessing, God is moving, and I'm thankful for that.
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:36.399
But I'd love to hear from you.
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.440
I'd love to hear from those that follow uh this podcast.
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:40.240
Amen.
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:45.120
Well, guys, I said in the beginning, we're going to get back to our book.
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:54.799
I think we've got two more chapters to finish out, and hopefully in the next two, three episodes left, we can finish that out.
00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:00.879
This next chapter is a pretty lengthy chapter, so we've got to cut it up in in two parts, and we'll get that done.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.840
We'll get the first half of this episode and then we'll do another episode and finish it out.
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.440
But we've got some great things coming up next year.
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.039
I just drop a little hint.
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:17.600
Uh, we're going to be having a partner coming on board with us next month, and it is going to be my lovely wife.
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.519
And we're going to start something, hopefully, if we can get it together.
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.559
Now we're talking about it and trying to get it together.
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:32.000
We're going to start doing some video podcasting and audio, but we're going to start a series on discipleship.
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.639
And I believe it is important in this day and time that we know how to disciple others.
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:41.519
Jesus discipled us 12 to do what needed to be done to get the word out.
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.279
And we need to do the same thing.
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:44.879
So I'm excited about this.
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:49.120
I'm excited to see what God is going to take this and help us pray.
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:50.879
Help us pray about it, okay?
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.320
We just want to do what God has done and do it in him.
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.879
So we're going to take a break and come back and we'll get back into our book, okay?
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.480
So many people lose sight of him.
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:09.360
The religious routines, the traditions take the place of a real relationship.
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:25.120
And I wrote this book to help those who have experienced that return to a vibrant relationship with Christ and to help others stay consistent in their walk with the Lord and avoid, I hope, the pitfalls.
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.759
So I encourage you to get your copy today.
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.159
It's a small book, won't take you long to read it.
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.360
It's got some study questions we put in there with it.
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.879
You can do it as a group study.
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:36.080
I hope you will.
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:42.799
And my prayer is that God's going to use this to speak into your life and to grow your faith in Christ.
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.279
Everything happens to go.
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:39.840
Amen.
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.360
Every time I call your name, Jesus.
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.120
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.799
I'm so thankful for that.
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:49.759
Amen.
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:50.960
Amen.
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:52.480
All right.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.960
Let's get back to our book now.
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:57.039
And let's get into this thing.
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.759
Remember, we're still in the book God Chasers.
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:02.480
We're gonna start on chapter nine now.
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:04.960
Dismantle your glory.
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:11.519
The burial of man's glory is the birth of God's glory.
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.679
We have lost the art of adoring the Lord.
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:36.240
Our worship gets so cluttered with endless strings of shallow and insincere words that all we do most of the time is take up space or put in prayer time with a passionless monologue that even God must ignore.
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:48.320
Some of us come to him clinging to such heavy burdens that we are too frustrated and distracted to see the Father or understand how much He loves us.
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.320
We need to return to the simplicity of our childhood.
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:01.279
Every night that I'm home, I rock my six-year-old daughter to sleep because I love her.
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:17.120
Usually she will lay back in my arms and just before she drifts off to sleep, she will remember the problems of the day and say something like Daddy, this little boy was mean to me on the playground at school.
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:21.759
Or Daddy, I had trouble on my spelling test today.
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.320
To her, these seem like giant problems.
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:36.960
I always try to reassure her that everything will be alright in those moments because she is resting in my arms and because I love her.
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:48.480
It doesn't matter what anyone said on the playground, and none of her little failures have any power to hurt her because she is in my arms.
00:14:49.200 --> 00:15:01.039
Somehow, when I'm able to weave my way through the labriathan of a six-year-old mind and bring peace to her, I get to enjoy my favorite part of the day.
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:09.840
That is when my little girl just lays her head back to look at me with her eyes half opened and give me her little smile.
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:19.679
The only way I know to describe it is that her face displays sheer adoration and complete security in those moments.
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:22.240
She doesn't have to speak.
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:23.919
I understand.
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:32.639
And then in complete peace, she drifts off to sleep with a smile of safety and trust on her face.
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.919
God wants us to do the same thing.
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:48.320
Too often we come to Him at the end of our day and worship Him with prefac pre-manufactured mechanics and memorize words.
00:15:48.960 --> 00:16:03.759
Then, since we are almost totally absorbed with our playground offenses and the temporal problem of the day, we lay back in His presence just long enough to say our string of words and deliver our wish list.
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:09.519
Then we jump up and run off to continue our frustrated rat race lives.
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:14.639
Often we never seem to find that place of perfect peace.
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.559
I want to stop right there for just a moment.
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.000
How many of us can relate to that?
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:23.759
I know I can.
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.039
Man, that slaps me in the face every single day.
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.679
And I try not to do it.
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:35.919
But we have been doing the very same thing for so many years that it's kind of hard to break the cycle.
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:53.519
But if we could just realize that in his arms there's peace, and what he gives us is worth more than just saying our routine words like the author here was talking about, and just our memorized words, I think, the way he put it.
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:59.679
God wants to ignore that because he knows before we speak what we're gonna say.
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:08.880
We need to surprise the Lord one day and just praise him for what he's done.
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:15.440
Not to just memorize words, but just to sit back and just relate and relax in him.
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:18.720
You will have to face him.
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.119
What he wants us to do is just look at him.
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:26.720
Yes, we can tell him what we feel.
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:35.759
We need to tell him, but he is really waiting to s to receive our most intimate worship and adoration.
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:41.359
The kind that transcends mere words or outward actions.
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:48.079
He has set before you an open door, but you will have to face him.
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.839
You cannot back your way into the door of eternity.
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:54.000
You have to walk into it.
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:59.359
You will have to stop looking at and listening to other things.
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:13.680
He is beckoning you, beckoning to you to come up hither and he'll show you the hereafter that should bring peace to a weary child.
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:25.119
It is dangerous for us to be led by our number crunching intellect because we can overanalyze the causes and the purposes of God.
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:34.720
We'll end up like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes of Jesus who missed their hour of visitation.
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.559
I, for one, don't want to do that.
00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:50.319
Jesus wept over Jerusalem, the symbol of the home of God's presence in this day, saying in a sense, You didn't know the hour.
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.200
I came to you, and you didn't know.
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.640
You knew the word, but you didn't know me.
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.720
Look in Luke 19, 41 through 44.
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:05.519
He came into his own, and his own received him not.
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:06.799
John 1 11.
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:13.680
I'm not writing this because you and the many others who will read these words don't know God's word.
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:21.839
On the contrary, I'm saying this because the Lord wants to develop a new level of intimacy with his people.
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:28.640
He doesn't want us to memorize Bible trivia, he wants us to know him.
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:35.359
Paul said that before he was converted to Christ, he understood the law.
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:40.799
But after he was converted, he said, I know whom I have believed.
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:42.960
Second Timothy 1 and 12.
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:45.680
It's one thing to know about him.
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.720
It's quite another to know him.
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.559
God is calling you to a new level of intimacy.
00:19:53.519 --> 00:20:01.039
If you dare to answer his call, the Lord will re will reveal a fresh part of his character.
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:10.000
He will pull you so close that you will be breathing the very rare rare air of heaven.
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:19.119
The only way to the place David called the secret place is through the door of focused worship.
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:27.119
When you lay aside every distraction and focus your body, soul, and spirit upon God.
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:42.799
When his presence become so strong that you are oblivious to everyone and everything else around you, then healing can come in an encounter with God from which you will never recover.
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:51.759
Your heart will be as permanently disabled with love as Jacob's leg was left with a limp.
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.640
My favorite services and yours are not the same.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:03.920
I was launched on this journey when God spoke to me while in the midst of his presence.
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:12.559
He said, Son, the services that you consider your favorite services and those I favor are not the same service.
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:19.200
That is when I realized that we often come to church to get something from God.
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:25.759
When the Bible tells us over and over again to minister unto the Lord.
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.599
Yes, we're involved in ministry, all right.
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:43.440
Our lives are so filled with ministry to people and the needs of people that we very seldom enter into a place where we can find we can minister to Him.
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:54.799
We go away week after week, self-gratified, with our itches scratched and our narrow personal needs met.
00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:04.000
When will we hear God's still small voice saying, Would somebody just love me?
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:17.039
As I said before, the last time I read it, Psalms 103 and 1, I still said, Bless the Lord, oh my soul.
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:22.319
But we often practice, Oh my Lord, bless my soul.
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:29.839
God's definition of a hero and ours are probably not the same.
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:38.319
Consider what he has said about the sinful woman who broke the alabaster box to anoint the Lord with oil.
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:47.039
If heaven has a Hall of Fame, then I can tell you someone whose name is going to be right at the top of the list.
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.000
It is Mary, the woman with the alabaster box.
00:22:52.640 --> 00:23:02.240
What is so startling about it is that the disciples were so embarrassed by the woman's actions that they wanted to throw her out.
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:09.680
But Jesus made her actions an internal monument of selfless worship.
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:16.559
Jesus didn't intervene because of Mary's talent, her beauty, or religious achievements.
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:20.720
He stepped in because of her worship.
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:24.960
The disciples said, To what purpose is this waste?
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:26.960
Matthew 26 and 8.
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:31.039
Jesus said, It's not waste, it's worship.
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:46.079
Often dense disciples mislabeled things during their political posturing about who sits at the right and who at the left while Jesus goes worship hungry.
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:54.559
His growling hunger pangs attract an outsider, a box breaker, a footwasher.
00:23:55.599 --> 00:24:05.680
Such worshipers must often ignore the stares and comments of a political correct church while ministering to Jesus.
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:11.680
He desires our adorate our adoration and worship.
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:22.640
Heaven's Hall of Fame is filled with the names of obscured people like the one leper who entered to thank God while nine never bothered.
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:31.119
It will be filled with the names of people who so touch the heart and mind of God that he says, I remember you.
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:33.119
I know about you.
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.680
Well done, my good and faithful servant.
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:48.000
Meanwhile, in our church services, we act like ungrateful children demanding our biblical allowances and blessings.
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:59.200
We ridges religiously seek the hand of God, but we know nothing about seeking the face of God and crying out, I just want you.
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.279
Man, these words are powerful.
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:10.240
I hope and pray that they are slapping you in the face like they are me.
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:16.240
Because I'm telling you, we we do not know how to worship God.
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:23.039
I mean, you take Mary, she broke an alabaster box just to wash his feet.
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:27.039
You and I, would we do that?
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:28.880
Something so expensive and rare.
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.319
Would we give up something like that just to worship God?
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:35.039
I would like to say I would.
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.839
You know, it's just hard to say.
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:46.960
God is saying to us, I have set before thee an open door.
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:59.680
This is one of the those seasons when God seems to be throwing open the door of heaven and saying, Come into a new place of intimacy and communion with me.
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:02.720
You don't need to worry about the blessings.
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:13.599
If you sit in the lap of the blesser, just tell him that you love him and every blessing you ever imagined will come to you.
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:17.200
Seek the blesser, not the blessing.
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:20.960
Seek the reviver, not revival.
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:24.559
Seek his face, not his hands.
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:32.079
Often I see the aisles of churches strewn with people who have climbed into the lap of the Father.
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:39.119
I see them hiding their faces underneath benches and pews as they seek the face of God.
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:48.640
Something is happening in the church today, and it has nothing to do with the hype and manipulation of man.
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:52.559
Aren't you sick of all that?
00:26:53.039 --> 00:27:03.359
Aren't you hungry for an encounter with God that's not contaminated by the vain promotions and manipulations of fleshly leaders?
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:11.119
Don't you long to have God's just long to have God just introduce Himself to you?
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:13.119
You're not alone.
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:21.279
There was one woman who marked the road of repentance with her tears and dismantled her glory for the Lord.
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:30.319
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him, and he went into the Pharisees' house and sat down to meet.
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:54.960
And behold a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisees' house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet and behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kiss his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:02.560
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:10.400
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:18.239
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:25.920
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:33.920
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.560
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:44.239
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:51.359
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.879
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:01.759
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:10.719
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:11.599
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:17.120
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.080
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.400
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.919
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.719
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.719
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:48.400
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:50.080
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:51.919
00:03:52.240 --> 00:04:04.080
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:11.919
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.879
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.800
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.720
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.240
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.439
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:46.879
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.680
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:58.160
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.079
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.560
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.800
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:13.920
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.839
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.319
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:33.680
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:40.079
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:51.439
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:58.720
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:09.600
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:17.839
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:25.199
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.279
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:36.800
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:52.639
00:06:53.600 --> 00:07:01.920
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.040
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:06.319
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.240
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:15.680
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.079
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.639
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:33.360
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.639
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:41.759
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:48.959
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.000
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.959
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.199
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.600
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:08.079
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:15.199
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.720
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.560
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.800
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.240
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:27.360
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.519
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.960
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:36.399
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.440
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:40.240
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:45.120
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:54.799
00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:00.879
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.840
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.440
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.039
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:17.600
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.519
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.559
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:32.000
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.639
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:41.519
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.279
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:44.879
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:49.120
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:50.879
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.320
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.879
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.480
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:09.360
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:25.120
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.759
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.159
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.360
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.879

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:42.799

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:39.840
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.360
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.120
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.799
