The Old Trailblazer Broadcast

This is the old trailblazer broadcasters up after our friend Dorothy old trailblazer rotting out again on old man called analyst go got to get up. Got to get a get and we looking for study on the 11th chapter of Hebrews. Been there quite a while now all we not hear about through so we we going on down the road and hope you getting a blessing from and if you are what you write me, let me know.

We saw there were the children of Israel had Hebrews a going through the Red Sea with these these Hebrews now were out of Egypt, but they met trials along the way.

So, just so the saints are many times met by Satan himself. We saw that in our last study how the Satan is a prince and power of this air. He's the all-powerful extent give everything experience except giving life he does in the Bible tells us to resist him and he will flee from. Let me let me give you something here you list many times, maybe for weeks and months into a three week your prayers are answered.

Just like that, after the Lord save just like that just seems but yet you get everything you asked for, and then all at once. Maybe those things begin to be delayed.

Lord knows what he's doing has your just been your experience believer. It was mine. Then again I didn't meet much opposition for while seemingly the Lord restrain Satan and after a while it all picked up.

Why will this like a little baby don't reach much obligation we mentioned that in the last 30 God protects his child. Then along the Pilgrim fast rate. He begins to run into those fiery trials and just as the Hebrews were trouble with faint hearts when they saw the Egyptian in the battle array come in behind him. Saints suffer with faint hearts all that's what the old trailblazer is faint of heart. The baby in the end. At the first has little faith, God's child has little faith but he's very very he's had very little experience know he's not even he had been down the road so to speak, and he's had not yet prove God's promises or knows and believes that God is faithful to his promises. God has to prove to us the teachers that he's faithful he has to do that thing my man if he's turned Satan loose on you shortly after you were saved you had entrusted him after you were saved you had entrusted him you and proving you didn't know that these were the promises would hold God don't do it.

Doesn't God undo up God knows how much you can stand the Scripture says he will not put more on us and we can bear how much how much many of our folks offer my friend. One thing we suffer because of unbelief.

We just won't take a stand on the side of God, then the older we grow in grace, the more and more we come to test the Lord's promises and rest upon more and more.

The battle becomes fiercer and fiercer and fiercer and the Lord sustains us, gives us grace NIDA I heard Pastor Shelton tell a story one time an incident in my shed a little light on this back there. Years and years ago when they built ships old wooden ship. They went out there by the seaside somewhere where the storms had raged to get that keel. The bottom beam of the ship they go out there in the forest and cut a long straight pole know that it been protected from the wind and the storms they went out there where you been twisted and turned and stormed and out of that tree.

The unique keel of that tree for the ship why because it was tough.

It was stand the ocean storm and Liz Norte folks is there were God uses goes out to get his leaders. Those who have been tested and tried.

He put them through the EE person through the trials.

If God is not using then then you'd better stop in question have been through those trials. Am I standing up for the truth.

Do I know what tribulation mean do I know what testing mean God never chose Moses until he put them through hook 40 years 40 years he spent there and it courts of payroll learning the things of government and all of those thing but no Lord and throw them out there to take the children across Red Sea put in 40 years on the backside of the desert into the sheep of his father-in-law listened. He listened and he put them out there fighting the lines in the Bears, and all of those same.

He never chose Joseph until he had been 13 years in the prison of hail.

That's were God goes to get his me and my friend those who have been tried and tested old but listen. Listen to so much that we could learn if you have your Bibles over now let's look there and 11 chapter of Hebrews and nonetheless this get started their God word as set forth herein at 13 verse we moved on after the 13th verse we not going so fast we moving slowly taken up almost one verse at the time.

One character to time. One incident is a time that sets forth the faith of God's children. Now there's two class of flukes here this morning tonight wherever you are this to class or vote who hear these radio broke it there.

Those who were living by faith. There those who are living by reasoning and by sight. Now which one are you living by my friend, are you walking by faith. At this time. Faith in the crucified beard and risen Christ by faith through faith you will find by faith, by faith, by faith as all by faith. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen that Hebrews 11 one. Our first birth. Now let's read at 13 verse by faith the walls of Jericho fail fail down after they were compassed about seven days. Nonetheless, a miracles miraculous statement in that's a statement that unbelievers have sneered at really cute laugh that made fun of denied that stream through the centrist ever since it was written by faith the walls of Jericho fail down after they were compassed about seven days.

The atheist Linda Dale diagnostic the unbeliever has tried every way in the world to explain away. That's great.

Scripture that faith had nothing in the world to do it there came an earthquake there came some type of the city wall fail and use capitalize on that sick Leslie usual smear of blaspheming of that Scripture just like all the things we talk about going to the Red Sea.

They were sneered at out descriptive laugh that made fun of the claim. The water was so shallow. But listen, they do it to their own damnation. How many of you heard of these studies over and over and we going into those things definitely just just one study after another. Just look now by faith the walls of Jericho fail to in this illustration we see the faith of a new generation that had been redeemed in the wilderness and now under the leadership of Joshua not under the leadership of Moses. Moses had died and was buried prepared to go across the river Jordan, under the command of the Lord, and take the city of Jericho, the most tragic thing that catches our attention right here is that between this verse of Scripture and the proceeding on the list read one just preceding it by faith. They passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land which the Egyptians are saying to new were drowned now between that verse of Scripture and the 13th one by faith the walls of Jericho fail down after they compassed about seven days is a period of 40 years of wandering in the wilderness until victory was won many times in reading, we just think you have one right after the other, but no there left appeared a 40 years between crossing the Red Sea and then the walls of Jericho falling God had to raise up a new generation barricade us but not Barney.

He said to them, this generation from 20 years up will not enter the promised land except Caleb and Joshua. You find out over number 14, 28, 30, and they spent 40 years you might say in wasted wanderings in the wilderness without rest without resting by faith at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ wondering wondered 40 years 40 wasted years. I often think how many of our folks have wasted many many years before coming to the Lord in that some in that tragic of how much of our lives are wasted wandering in the wilderness without resting by faith at the feet of Christ all many times I've said I would to God that he save me when I was very young EMS right out. Had my whole life to live. If I would've come to the Lord. I don't blame the Lord. No sir no sir, but there was 40 years here a wasted wanderings in these people live 40 years wasted and wondering, not resting by feet.

Now, I'd be careful young people not to let the impression slip this being made upon your heart by day by day, God dealing with you now for salvation. That's where you live to be an old man like myself here are just a few years. Those years will be wondering and wasting just wasted and wondering how many of us here this morning wish that we found the Lord all that Christ and found us back there many years ago and are in our youth.

One thing that we find in this verse is that God's ways are often entirely different from our ways. I see this, listen, praise the Lord he did. He did say me but yet praise him for his wonderful grace in thing about the city of Jericho. Whoever heard of such a powerful fortress like the city of Jericho being completely demolished in a response to a company of people walking around now that's what that's what, to me is is a is a miracle. I sat and marveled at it all. If we just look at the story look at it it it. Jericho was a great city it was a wall St. it is said that they had chariot races on the walls of the city meeting. It was a great expanse and across the top of it. But listen, listen set marveled at just over.

I don't see how you can get away from it. Just reading that story over and over again how to Josh away sin through spies. There, the lookout that city. You may want to ask the question why did the Holy Spirit give us that by faith the walls of Jericho fail before you gave us the faith of the harlot Rahab listen, we see that in our next study I hope in the study gives us one of the destruction of Jericho before you gave us of the face of salvation, of Rahab that's in God's hand not mind not your as though spies left that city.

The people began to recognize that they were up against is said they became as weak as water than Joshua 29 all your strength left him there was a mighty fortress that city was behind mighty walls built to keep the enemy out. It was a fortress of the metropolis of that whole country.

If they didn't conquer Jericho.

There was no reason for them to try and Oreos. Jericho had to go down first before they could conquer the rest of the land.

All my friend has the Lord ever conquer your Jericho since right we all stand as a fortress of obstruction against the Lord away. We stand in our rebellion in our pride in our all of those things, a rebellion it would build up over the years and say we just will have leaders who have not had folks they will have your blurry religion. I won't have Eurail Hill foreign blurry religion, blood and guts religion artist won't have it. Well I tell them I'm sorry for what if they never turn if it never turned to the Lord for never bow you just going to eternity lost. What is eternity you my friend is coming to see the Lord resting there being welcome into heaven or is a leap in the dark all my friend a leap in the dark for you mean faster will the Bible says that will be a land of outer darkness where there be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. I can even envision that.
