Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his love,

let him fill your heart and will satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with Jacob's prayer for deliverance as we pick up in Genesis chapter 32 verse 11.

And now with today's message here's Pastor Chuck.
