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

let him fill your heart and 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 the daughter of Jeptha as we pick up in judges chapter 11 verse 11 and now with

today's message here's pastor Chuck. He said Lord if you will deliver these people of Ammon or the Ammonites into my hand,

give me the victory over them, then I will sacrifice unto you the first thing that comes out of the door of my house when I return

home as a burnt offering unto thee. So God delivered the Ammonites into the hands of Jeptha and he was coming

home victorious leading the armies and who should come out the door of his house than

his daughter his only child with a tambourine and a song that she had made up of the great victories of her father and

the great dad and everything he was.

And when he saw her come out the door, he said,

oh, sweetheart, you've brought grief to my soul today.

And she said, Dad, whatever you've promised the Lord to do, go ahead and do.

And so he told the vow that he had made.

And she said, all right, you know, you've made the vow to God in your to do it.
