So we're in the book of Judges,
chapter 11, and we'd encourage you to read verses 29 to 33. In the book of Judges, chapter
11, verse 20, or verse 33, I want us to notice the conclusion of
this, and that is, he smote them from Eror, even till thou come
to Minneth, So what God had promised is fulfilled here, and the enemies
of Israel have been dispatched. They've been removed. This is what we find so often
here in the book of the Judges, that there is all that enemy
that is brought up after a time of idolatry, of idol worship,
of turning away from God, and God in His long-suffering sends
them a judge. The judge is used to throw off
that enemy, and now we're going to have a period of peace, and
then we see the cycle starts over again. but the children
of Ammon were subdued. Now in verse 29, it tells us
that the spirit of the Lord came upon Jethfe. I want us to note
that the Holy Spirit is not just floating about somewhere, and
because of our good deeds or our worship or something, we
run into him. The Holy Spirit, as God, finds
us. The Holy Spirit of God fills
us. The Holy Spirit of God comes upon us. And it's not by our
doings or by our works, but there are some things that we can notice
in the scripture about people who are given the Holy Spirit
in that capacity. Now, everyone that is given the
Spirit in this capacity has, first of all, been born again.
They all have the indwelling of the Spirit. They are not misfits
and they are not lost people. They are saved people. Now, the
Holy Spirit comes in a capacity after we're born again, so often
when we're in great need of delivering the Word of Life. So I pray that
every time Brother Mike enters the pulpit, he's filled with
the Spirit. Every time Brother Mike enters the pulpit, he's
filled with the Spirit. Every time that Brother Lawrence
enters the pulpit, he's filled with the Spirit. Every time Brother
John enters the pulpit, he's filled with the Spirit. Saved
people are not always in need of that particular capacity. We live on what we have in dwelling.
But there are those special needs that God gives to us, and in
those needs, He fills us with the Spirit, just like He did
Jethro. Now, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. You know,
turn with me, if you would, to the book of Ephesians. The book of Ephesians, chapter
4. As we look into the subject of what happened to Jethro, and
it still continues to happen today. It happens among God's
people when they're given a door of opening. The Spirit of God
comes to them and there are certain things that God promises when
he does that. Here in the book of Ephesians
chapter 4, we read these wonderful words about God's great blessing
to his people. Ephesians chapter 4 and verse
7. It says, but unto every one of us is given grace according
to the measure of the gift of Christ. Now we're going to notice
in just a little bit that everybody that God ever saves, he gives
them a gift. Now, and the true church, I'm
not talking about the visible church, I'm not talking about
the church that assembles, I'm talking about those who are truly
born again, are never jealous of someone else's gift. They
are thankful that God has given them that gift, and it is to
our benefit that that gift has been given to them. It is for
us. It's like the whole body fitly
framed together. So the Holy Spirit is given in
the capacity upon the new birth and he gives according to the
gift of Christ. Well, we'll follow this out for
just a moment. we do find that the Lord did not need this special
blessing of the Holy Spirit. Turn with me, if you would, back
to the book of John. John chapter 3 and verse 34. The Lord Jesus is spoken of here
in John chapter 3 and verse 34. And He gives to us severally. He doesn't give everyone exactly
the same amount. He does that in the new birth.
We're just going to settle that right now. In the new birth,
we are giving the indwelling of the Spirit. We're giving all
the good blessings of grace. We're giving every spiritual
blessing. But in times it seems of people in special need, they
are given a special blessing of the Spirit to lead them and
direct them in that. And there's always going to be
an outcome of it. In the book of John chapter 3 and verse 34,
for he whom God has sent speaketh the words of God. For God giveth
not the Spirit by measure unto him. What's that mean? He has
got it all. The Lord Jesus Christ was completely
filled with the Spirit, and He always was in that capacity.
He was blessed in every capacity possible in His ministry. Everywhere
He went, He was a blessing to people, He was a curse to people,
but He always consistently brought the Word of God. So it wasn't
by measure that He was given the Holy Spirit, we are. But
I'm thankful for the measure we get. I don't look at a half-empty
glass or a half-full glass. I'm thankful for the grace that
He gives us and the filling that He does give us and the coming
of the Spirit that He does give us. Now, over in the book of
1 Corinthians, which is a wonderful passage of scripture along the
same line, in 1 Corinthians chapter 12, 1 Corinthians chapter 12
and verse 11. We read here that the Lord gives
this by sovereign grace, and he gives this by sovereignty. It is not by how we've measured
up. It's not by how much we pray.
It's not by how many witnesses we've made. It doesn't matter
how many Bible studies we've read, how many times we've read
through the Bible in our lifetime. It is sovereignly given, as it
says, Here in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 and verse 11, but all these
worketh the one and self same spirit, dividing to every man
severally as he will. Now I like what the ISV has to
say, but one and the same spirit produces all these results and
gives what he wants to each person. It's God giving to persons. It's
not us by volunteering, it's by Him giving. And that is given
sovereignly. So that's one reason the church
can't be in a discussion or upset about someone else's gift. It's been given sovereignly.
It's been given appointedly. And the ESV says, and all of
these are empowered by one and the self spirit, who apportions
to each one individually as he wills." Now, these are talking
about the gifts of the Spirit, and we know that the gifts of
the Spirit are what God gives. We don't have them on our own,
and they're such a blessing that the church has these blessings
given to them, and they all complement each other. Now, when we were
looking a little bit, not too long ago, in the book of Acts,
we found out, and I'd like you to go over there, I have several
verses I want to read, that the Holy Spirit, when these folks
in the book of Acts were filled by the Spirit, when the Spirit
came upon them, there's always been results. This is the outcome
of that. I was talking to a, I consider
him a good, dear friend, the other day, and I mentioned about
being filled with the Spirit. He says, oh, that's when you
speak in tongues and go through that. That's not what it says.
Never in the Scriptures does it say when a person is filled
by the Spirit that they're going into a gibberish language. In
fact, it is gonna be the exact opposite. All right, turn with
me to the book of Acts chapter two, if you would. Acts chapter
two, and there in verse four. Acts chapter two in verse four,
we read these verses. It's been some time since we've
been here, but it's just a review to go over this. And it says,
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues or languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
So what they were given was from the Spirit, and he severally
disposed it upon them. And he gave to Peter the qualification
of speaking to the Jews, and he gave to someone else the qualifications
of speaking to this language. And apparently there were 12
different languages at least there that day. So he gave several
as he had appointed and he's going to bless them with a special
blessing. Peter has been saved for a long
time. Peter did some wrong things.
Who hasn't? Peter denied the Lord. Who hasn't? But he is not found. God did
not come upon him with retribution. God came upon him with peace.
So, the results that we hear of them, now, they're in verse,
oh, what verse is that? I had it marked down and then
I thought I had it marked down. We do hear in our own language. Verse eight, oh, thank you. And
this is the results of that. those that were filled with the
Spirit, and how here we, every man in our own language, wherein
we were born, and it goes on to tell us, oh, verse 11. We do hear them speak in our
tongues the wonderful works of God, not gibberish, not hallucinations,
and The people that are involved in that will always brag about
it. The people that are filled with
the Spirit will brag about God. And that's what these men did
that day. And those hearers, when they
heard it, said, we do hear in our own language the wonderful
works of God. Well, in chapter four, again,
this event takes place. It just seems that when we are
put into a position of going forth with the word of God, that
the God of heaven blesses in a special capacity to deliver
his word with honesty, straightforwardness, and that we leave the results
up to God. Well, in Acts chapter four, we
read these words, verse eight, Acts chapter four and verse eight,
It says, then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them,
ye rulers of the people and elders of Israel. And then we find out
in verse 10, he preaches to them the gospel. He is not held back
by fear, but he is given grace and power to speak unto this
71 member council the wonderful works of God. He preaches them,
be it known unto you all and to all the people of Israel that
by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. So a person that God
has filled with the spirit or the spirit has come upon is going
to have this given to him. He's not going to waste his time
on secondary things. He's going to waste Nobody's
time on anything, he's going to preach the wonderful works
of God. Every time we're given an opportunity
to hold forth the word of truth, to preach the gospel, as it was
said at my graduation nearly 55 years ago, you will never
all be together again. And we can say that about our
services. We may never, ever all be together
again. A visitor comes, they may never
come back. So we're not going to give them
platitudes. We must give them, if we're filled
with the Spirit, we're going to give them not the law. We're
not going to give them legalism. We're not going to put them under
the law. We're not going to correct them. We're going to preach the
gospel and let God do his business. Now, if he does it, Praise the
Lord. If he does it, they'll let us
know. We don't have to go after him. All right, in the book of
Acts chapter four, verse 31, if you drop down there, verse
31, and it says here that they went, I so appreciate after that
whole event, that they went to their own company. I just look
at that as my Sunday and Wednesday. I go to my own company. I go
to people that love the Lord. I go to people that know how
we go through this world, the temptations that we are faced
with, the blessings that the Lord gives. To our real family,
I can talk to you about things. I can talk to the church about
things I cannot ever talk to my own family about. They don't
want to hear it. but in the assembly of God, we get to voice what
the Bible has to say about God, and we're just thankful for that.
So they went to their own company, but we notice here in verse 31,
it says, and when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they
were assembled together, and they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost and spake the word of God with boldness. Now, I
think spiritually speaking, we've been in services where the earthquakes
shook us. We've been touched by the Word
of God. It's touched our soul. We've been thankful for it. But
also it tells us here that they spake the Word of God with boldness.
It never brought about rubbish. It was always centered on God,
on His Son, on the Lord Jesus Christ, upon salvation by Christ
and only by Christ. And that's what being filled
with the Spirit, God will always do. In the ninth chapter of the
book of Acts, Acts chapter 9. We have these words recorded,
Acts chapter 9 and verse 17. In Acts chapter 9 and verse 17. And Ananias, now here's a man
that had a great deal of fear about going and following the
Lord's instructions. He's been instructed to go to
a place where Saul is. And he says, Lord, don't you
know? Well, the Lord, it's just such
a clue to us. And it was a clue to Ananias
is what the Lord said unto him in verse 15, go thy way for he
is a chosen vessel unto me. You know what? That settled Ananias. He had no problems going anymore. This was a chosen vessel. He
may have been a rascal. He may have been a rabble rouser.
He may have been a murderer. He may have had all those things.
But when the Lord shared with Ananias that he was a chosen
vessel, Ananias goes there and he does what God commands him
to do. Verse 17, and when Ananias went
his way and entered into the house and put his hands on him,
said, now by the grace of God, he's been revealed that this
man's a brother. Up to this point, he's been an enemy. But on this
day, it's been revealed to him, brother Saul. The Lord, even
Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath
sent me that thou mightest receive thy sight and be filled with
the Holy Ghost." Now if we follow this just down to verse 20, we
find out the results of that. He did never try to get people
back under that law that he was in. And as we heard on Sunday,
that message from the book of Galatians, he spent most of his
ministry preaching against that stuff, because there's nothing
in it but pins and ribbons and boastful things, and we only
boast in Christ. So it tells us here in verse
20, that after Paul was baptized, baptized and Paul was blessed
by the Holy Spirit. He says, in a straight way, he
preached Christ in the synagogue that he is the Son of God. What a dramatic change. But that
change was given to him by the new birth and then filled with
the Spirit, he had boldness to go to declare it. Now, it's not
very long after he's born again, God called him to preach. The
Sanhedrin did not call him to preach. His parents, the Pharisees
did not call him to preach, but the Holy Ghost of heaven called
him to preach the gospel. And he was faithful from that
day forward to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and his free
and sovereign grace. In the book of Acts chapter 13,
if you'd look at that with me, Acts chapter 13. Now, this is just what we'll
find with people that God sends his spirit to. I want to reemphasize
the fact that everyone that is born again is indwelt by the
spirit of God and will never be removed from them. God never removes his spirit,
the Holy Spirit, from his children. Now we find with regard to Saul,
the King Saul, that the Lord took his spirit from him. There
was a guiding factor that he had given him, and I don't believe
that he had any knowledge of the Holy Spirit in salvation. But he led him and directed him
as the first king, but there was a time he took his spirit
away from him. and he went into agony. And he's appealing to
a witch for his directions. So it just really shares with
us he had no knowledge of what God had in salvation. God hadn't
granted him that. Here in the book of Acts chapter
13, Acts chapter 13 in verse nine, then Saul, who also is called
Paul. First time we have that name
given to him, and that's the last time we'll find him as Saul,
and it's the first time we follow him as Paul, and from then on
he is the Apostle Paul. Filled with the Holy Ghost, set
his eyes on him. Now, I don't know how many times
as we've been going through the New Testament books, particularly
our Bible class teachers, have brought out the subject that
often Paul, but Peter, Jude, John, the rest of them brought
up about how to be very careful about the teaching of other people.
Brother Lauren brought that out there in the book of Galatians
this last Sunday, and we've read that many times, we've heard
lessons on it, but how they were so soon departed from the gospel
of the Lord Jesus Christ and put under a gospel of law, which
is not a gospel. There's no good news in legalism. It is just the worst possible
thing that we could impose on anybody, and it's only for a
power trip by those who impose it. Well, here it says Saul,
and there's a man in verse eight, but Elymas, the sorcerer, for
so is his name by interpretation, withstood them seeking to turn
away the deputy from his faith. But he's trying to talk him out
of what God has done for him. And then in verse 10, we're going
to find out that Paul is going to practice because he's filled
with the spirit, exactly what those books of the Bible. Oftentimes,
watch, be careful. God's going to send grievous
wolves. They're going to bring in lies. They're going to bring in things
that are not honest with the Word of God. Time and time and
time again, the warning goes out. But because Saul, now Paul,
is filled with the Holy Ghost, he looks at this man and instantly
is able to say this, and said, O fool of all subtlety and all
mischief, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness."
Now just look what he's saying there. This guy has tried to
come in and bring discord, and the Apostle Paul nails him down
quickly and instantly and says, Wilt thou not cease to pervert
the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of
the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the
sun for a season. And immediately there fell on
him a mist and a darkness, and he went about seeking some to
lead him by the hand." So the Apostle Paul, filled with the
Holy Spirit, was able to identify this so quickly. And by the grace
of God, we are given some insight to identify, you know, I think
I told you that last week I was privileged to look through about
four boxes of junk books. A guy's trying to get rid of
them and he wanted me to see if there's anything in there
I wanted or what he should do with them. I says, take them
home and burn them. because nobody is saved by gibberish. Nobody
is saved by free will. Nobody is saved by a gospel that
is foreign to the gospel of God's grace. And I said, that's all
it's filled with. And I also mentioned that he
had several books on end times. And I says, all they want to
do is scare people into the kingdom. Well, we're not scared into the
kingdom. We're drawn into the kingdom. We're brought to the
kingdom. We're born to the kingdom. And it's not out of fear that
we're brought to Christ. It is by His good grace. It is
by His love. It's by His purpose that He draws
us into the kingdom of heaven. So it's not by fear. So all that
fear-mongering stuff needs to be burned. It's just trash. I
remember Brother Henry said when he was saved he was afraid to
give away his books because he didn't want to give away poison.
And that's what it is. It's pure poison. I've got a
lot of poison books. I just guess I'm going to give...
well Adeline doesn't have a fireplace anymore. So they just need to
be destroyed, thrown away. They're just not worth it. If
we had a recycling business or a recycler that would actually
take them and use them instead of, maybe they just need to go
into the landfill. I don't know. But I have a bunch
of them I've got to sort out because that's all they are,
is trash. And they don't identify the right, they always identify
the wrong. And I'll tell you right up front, When I am handed a book that
a guy is telling me how to fish for souls of men, and he said
he was saved at six years old, I throw it away. I don't believe
he knows the first thing about the gospel. I don't ever find
in the Bible that God ever saved anybody six years of age. It's
just not gonna happen. There's just not the need for
understanding at that point. I had a young man tell me not
long ago. I asked him, he said he was saved. I said, how do
you know you needed to be saved? That you're a sinner. He says,
my dad told me. Well, that's not enough. That's not enough. We can tell people all our lives
that they're sinners. But you know what? When David
said, against thee and thee only have I sinned, now that got serious.
It's not about mom, it's not about dad, it's not about wife,
it's not about husband, it's not about children, it's against
God. Now it'll take care of the rest of it too. All right, as
we follow that, we just continue to see this go out and in chapter
13 and verse 52. Chapter 13 and verse 52. And the disciples were filled
with joy and with the Holy Ghost. Now what's that about? Well,
look at verse 48. And when the Gentiles heard this,
they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord, and as
many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Now that's worth
getting happy about. And God will bless us with the
filling of the spirit to rejoice in that. Well, we follow this
down just a little bit. It says, and the word of the
Lord was published throughout all the region. But the Jews
stirred up a devout and honorable man and chief men of the city
and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas to expel them
out of their coast. but they shook off the dust of
their feet against them and came unto Iconium. And the disciples
were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost." How could they
be filled with joy? God shared with them a place
that's not worthy to preach the gospel. That's all there is to
it. There's no sheep here. Let's
go to where there's sheep. So they were filled with the
Spirit. And what a blessing it is to go back over here to the
book of the Judges and find out that Jephthah. Now we've mentioned
in the past that Jephthah is one of the judges that's mentioned
in the book of Hebrews chapter 11. One of the four. He is a man of God. He is faithful. And we find him doing something
that I You know, I said, I don't comprehend how he could do that. And yet I find out the same thing
about myself. Why did I do certain things? Over here, going back to the
book of Judges chapter 11, the book of Judges chapter 11. Now
I'm convinced as we look at the book of Judges chapter 11 and
we look at Jephthah here in verse 30, Judges chapter 11 and verse
30, Jethfah vowed a vow. We know that God had already
promised a victory. God's going to give it to him.
That's his promise. He's taken care of it. And I've
just wondered, why would he make a promise to God like this when
he already knew what God was going to do? You know, Mike and
I were talking about Abraham. Abraham was called on to offer
up his son on Mount Moriah. And you go to the 11th chapter
of the book of Hebrews, it said, he offered him up. Now, from
a spiritual context, he did. He offered him in a substitute.
But Abraham also understood that if he had to sacrifice him, like
he believed he would have to, he believed the Lord would raise
him from the dead and he'd come off that mountain. He had faith. God had given him the faith to
believe that. That's why he could go through with it. It wasn't
the end of Isaac because Isaac was the chosen seed. And through
Isaac, all the nations of the world would be blessed. So if
he's taken out of the scene before he's ever married and have children,
the word of God is not going to be fulfilled. So that's going
to be taken care of. Abraham understood that. Well,
we find that sometimes Vows are made, they're promises to God. And I would like us, for just
a few minutes, would you join me over in the book of Jonah? The book of Jonah, chapter two. In the book of Jonah, chapter
two, we have here a world famous fisherman. Jonah, chapter two,
verse six. Now, Jonah understood that he
was the problem on that boat. When those guys came to him and
says, what's the problem? I'm the problem. He identified
himself as the problem. He identifies himself as the
need to be thrown into the ocean, Mediterranean Sea. And there
God had prepared a great fish and he swallowed him up. Now
notice what Jonah says to us here in the great fish's belly,
beginning with verse six. I went down to the bottoms of
the mountains. Now Nancy and I had a cruise planned in the
Mediterranean Sea. There must be some mountains
at the bottom of that sea. I went down to the bottoms of
the mountain. Earth with her bars was about me forever. Yet
hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God. When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came unto thee into thine
holy temple. They that observe lying vanities
forsake their own mercy, but I will sacrifice unto thee with
the voice of thanksgiving." Notice what he says. I will pay that
which I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord. And the Lord's bacon of the fish,
it was vomited out Jonah, vomited out Jonah upon dry land. So I
will pay the vow which I have vowed. I will pay that which
I have vowed. I will promise, I'll fulfill
my promise. And in that, the Lord spewed
him out. He's cast upon the dry land and
he goes into Nineveh. and he preaches the gospel to
them. Well, there are many vows taken, but I want us to look
at two or three verses. The first one is found in the
book of Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes, the great preacher. Ecclesiastes chapter five. Ecclesiastes chapter five. A
warning is given here, verses one and two, Ecclesiastes chapter
five and verse, be careful what we say. Keep thy foot when thou
goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear than to
give the sacrifice of fools, for they consider not that they
do evil. Be not rash with thy mouth, and
let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God. For God is in heaven, and thou
upon earth, therefore let thy words be few. Now I don't, I
just can't help but think at the end of the chapter, of chapter
11 of Book of Judges, when Jephthah is caused to go over what is
being done, This thought didn't go through his mind. Be not rash
with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything
before the Lord. What can we utter? The word of
the Lord. That's what we're to utter. And
then if you'll turn with me to the book of James for two or
three readings over there, James has brought out several things.
He's led by the Holy Spirit to do this. He's filled by the Holy
Spirit to write these words and what great instruction it is.
I remember a man telling me one time, and it's been a great instruction
to me, sometimes we just have to take a loss. And that's good. It saves us. I don't know how
many times Brother Duane saved me from sticking my foot clear
into my mouth, both times, both feet. He was just a great counsel
that way, and I appreciated it so much. Here in the book of
James, chapter one, verse 26. It says, if any man among you
seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, But deceiveth his own heart,
this man's religion is vain." You know, what does that mean,
bridle not his tongue? Bragging on himself, his religion. Have
you ever been around family members like that? Just constant blabbering
about their religion, how many people they feed, all this stuff,
and not one word about their savior. Well, if any man among
you seem to be religious and bridle not his tongue, The bridling
of the tongue is going to bring about praise to God. We're going
to say, thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. All right, also
in the book of James, chapter three, we have this. James chapter
three, verse five. Even so, the tongue is a little
member. In verse four, it talks about
ships and a little rudder. Even so, the tongue is a little
member and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a
little fire kindleth. Now, ain't that the truth? Just
a few words out of the wrong side of our mouth can cause great
disturbance and trouble. And then he goes on to say, in
verse six, the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. So is the
tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body and
setteth on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire of
hell. And then in verse eight, but
the tongue can no man tame. Who can tame that? Our Savior,
just like he tames us. Full of deadly poison, and then, that verse eight, no man can
tame it. So we're just thankful that it can be tamed by the Lord. Well, let's go back over here
for just a brief time in the book of Judges again. I know
we spent most of our time out of the book of Judges tonight.
I just felt led for my own benefit to see what it is to be filled
with the Spirit and see what it is to make a vow that we probably
shouldn't have vowed. Judges chapter 11, and there
in verse 30, Jephthah vowed a vow unto the Lord and said, if thou
shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into my hands.
Now the children of Ammon are going to be delivered in his
hands, whether he made the vow or not. But in the long run,
looking at from beginning to end, God doeth all things well. And he worketh all things after
the counsel of his own will. And only God can bring good out
of a bad situation. And, you know, I think here,
why in the world didn't Jethfe say, the first thing that comes
out of my barnyard, the first thing that comes out of the stall,
the first thing that comes out of the field? Very few people
in that day and time kept their animals in the house. He says,
the first thing that comes out of the house. Now, you pray for
me as I go through the rest of this chapter that I'll have some
conclusions about what that all means. And if I don't, we're
going to chapter 12. That's just, I just want to be
honest with you. The commentaries are all in disagreement
about what actually happened. Some believe that happened, some
didn't believe it happened. Dr. Hawker has some really good
points in his commentary. If you want to read about that,
we'll look at that, Lord willing. It does tell us in verse 32 that
the Lord delivered them into his hands, vow or no vow, he
delivered them into his hands. And they were completely destroyed,
verse 33, with a very great slaughter. How often do we have that kind
of terminology mentioned about the invaders of Israel under
the judges? There's a very great slaughter.
One time there's only 300, but there's a very great slaughter.
And the Lord just sharing with us that he will always take care
of the enemies of the church, and he will always take care
of the enemies of God. And he's the one that can do it. How do
we overcome our sin? By the blood of the lamb. How do we overcome Satan? By
the blood of the lamb. So by the grace of God, we'll
close tonight, and you pray for me as we look at the next study
here in the book of Judges.
