The Old Trailblazer Broadcast

This is the old trailblazer broadcasters about trauma. I was pastor here at real missions work when you heard the old trailblazer for many many years, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Algiers formally in New Orleans, Louisiana.

We have much in new listeners. Now McCauley going on several new stations all over the country and I'll just give me just a little background pastor Eleanor Shelton was a founder and pastor of this work for many many years ago only be with the Lord and now we were in New Orleans there until Katrina, low most of you remember Katrina and we moved up here to Walker, which is about our little over hour's drive from New Orleans for the old trailblazer pastor Brenda Roberts was born and raised out here in the country now has grown up everything's grown-up but I am the pastor hear the Lord call me to give me this little broadcaster pick up after Shelton originated it back there in the 50s and until he got to where he couldn't do it. And now we going always been here for several years. We bring you the study now would bring beer since understudies as the Lord leads and always looking at the 11th chapter of Hebrews. Been there quite a while now going really slowly and not in no hurry to get in a hurry foe condo as we get older I know and myself as I determined and myself to drive the speed limit.

I try not to be in a hurry.

I'm not.

I'm was always an impatient person. My dad was an impatient person.

He taught us to work in and he told us if we can find something to do turns on the systole got back from the store didn't fertilize the seed or some glass, lifestyle, rehab the Lord is given me grace to some folks will agree with me to mellow down a little bit, especially in the Lord's work. I want to be as mellow and kind as I can be to you folks out there and give you thus saith the Lord on our own or timely basis. We looking at at 11 chapter of Hebrews and we come down fall into that area. There are talking about Rahab the harlot she was called Rahab the harlot, why because that was herby initialed a look at that.

The Scripture says, by faith. That's our main portion of our subject. By faith, by faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believe not all that great city of Jericho was torn down and thrown down by the Lord and they perished every individual there perished, except Rahab and her family that had come into her little cubicle.

Our little apartment that she had and they told her they would rescue them. Now I know that folks pooh-pooh all the old descriptors, the Old Testament, especially for my friend, is just as real is just as real and I imagine we would looking at her life there. In our last 30 and I believe that she went up and down the streets of that city. Among her friends and all those whom she had known, and she told him she said that's all that's Jehovah God. That's the true God, you better believe in him, you better believe him. You better believe in you and she begin to testify of them to them what it had meant to her life. She had been no doubt the Lord and Savior and we see from many indications that it she'd heard about the things that were happening from the travelers and those folks who visited her herb her business there and listen. She closed up. That means she told us focus eat. I closed up my business.

I see the judgment of God that rested upon us up on me and listen to the list when the Lord gives a hold of an individual. He closes up the devil's business. That's right, that's right. I told my folks last night. You don't have to worry about God's child heading back to the red light district Knoll, Sir, I would mention it in in the Navy I was in the Navy for a while and every time we came into a port, a strange port all the fellows only going over over to shore. They call it going on shore.

They want to know where the red light district court. Why is it because that's where the bottles was not for the harlot's work and that's where the prostitution went on and of course he needed the dives to jointly rejoice in all 06 but when God gets a hold of a sinner to save him.

You'll have to worry about him. Hunton those red light district any longer. Now this tell you that from her from my own experience and from the word of God. The Bible says you a new creature in Christ, a new creature don't want one of those old haunts. He wants did listen.

She said I close my business because I see the judgment brother listen listen listen. Some of you have enclosed your business yet you tell me you want to be saved, you still in business with the devil.

Therefore, you never going to be saved.

Will you close at business with the devil. When you come into the camp of the Lord and she said I close my business was seen in the devil faith had conquered yes faith had conquered. How did she make a living will is told. There she covered them with what flex talks flex talks no doubt she was making a living by selling flax are RR or of leaving things I don't really know it is not our business which he changed from a harlot to a saleswoman in a comfortable business I believe. I believe that with all my heart.

Now that's what is closing your business with the devil does coming to know the Lord and so that's by faith she had no way of making a living. I imagine the devil argued with her.

Give her a hard time don't you how you going to get by now how you going to get by.

Make a living here selling your body all these years how you going to make a living now is what Satan does my friend.

He sits here in my little studio on my shoulder. And just like an old parent squawking and that's what he does, I'll tell you little incident are read or heard one of the pastors tail. This couple had an old pair and they were nominal church members as folks say today the golden places on Saturday night and get up go to church on Sunday morning. Well, this particular morning, they went to church and no parent got out and as they drove down the highway or down the road in the city (followed him.

They got set down good in the church kinda backroad (littleness little pew and the went to squawking, he said honky-tonk honky-tonk honky-tonk and demand shifts to monthly push-up. This is a church you be quiet now. I'll take you home dystocia so we don't. He said I want take you home if you don't shut up. This is a church. He said the same crowd, same crowd he'd been to the honky-tonk with her before.

He'd been there. He said same crowd, same crowd, but my friend, when the Lord saves a sinner is not the same crowd in a longer or on those Scripture says where in the world, but we not all of the world. Can you say that about you live the thick once those things that I used to do that. I'm ashamed of now gone, you know, one of the things you will never hear my friend you will never hear God's child bragging about what individually was how many how many of things he had done.

How many of the women he had had had on the string and how many barroom brawl he had come out of wood without a mobility knows you don't hear that. No, sorry. Ashamed of that.

He's ashamed of. You can get most folks won't even tell you about their private life before the Lord say to Manas great that's great. My friend all listen now and he was saying how you gonna get by Ms. Rahab how you going to get by and we may be speaking to you out there today who live what we call a common-law marriage. You've heard of that common-law marriage was Shelton told me the woman and the man was living in a common-law marriage and had 56 children and the Lord got a hold to them and they came to him as a pastor, would you stand together for 30 he said I sure will ice you will are you living in open adultery with a man or woman and you say oh I cannot cane it is only I got to make a living. All right then you just have to go to hell for you trouble then that we go there we go. I got a phone call from a woman who not long ago, and criticize me. She said not use that expression went to hell for the trouble all listen again like it. The docket and I said Satan tried to shut my mouth on that for a long time and reason folks don't like it they take a self-righteous attitude now. You don't preach like I do. Nobody bridges like I do with old trailblazer needed to know what sin is my friend and I know what hell is. I know all about it.

I know what the wrath of God is. I know that what everything else is and I know without the grace of God or would you and I be I can sit here, stand here and plead with you to turn to Christ by faith. Just trust him. Just trust him.

Just trust him.

That's all you can do, my friend and listen. That's all I do plead with you, plead with plead with you. Pastor Shelton used to tell us aids bring a message that well.

I want to preach the same message about last Thursday night here in Baton Rouge and I just put a new address on it you know is novel one message, not one message.

I know I listen to are sophisticated pastors. I listen to them on the radio and on television sometime and I said I see all the charisma and I see all the choreography and all of those thing but my friend only have one message, that man is a sinner by nature. According to Romans three. Go read it. Would you do that this week the mark before we come back tomorrow on my next written lesson, you read the first three chapters Roman and I know and then I have one message, Christ died for sinners, Christ, you look you you go through the Gospels and look and take notice of how many of the Lord save that with who were the derelicts.

The drunkards and harlots the homeowners the those who both folks who are what we call the scum of the earth with the Lord in call Nettie Knowles sir, and you know what I have dealt with some of them, the Lord is saved in their the most gracious people, because why because why they have much to praise the Lord for my friend they do, just like I told you about brother Ainsworth book on strange tales and I have it in stock. Now if you'd like to have on and details of all of those dereliction drunkards there in London, England back in 1800 how the Lord rescued him and say to him, but we get into that in another study, and all I can do is plead we can tell you that Christ died for you have ever seen yourself as a sinner.

We all have many today who are sinners do know I plead with you that day in and day out.

The Lord has to do the work. I can't do it now listen listen we going to goal just a little bit have a little bit of time we behold the wonders working of God's power in delivering Rahab. I'm I'm I'm not different from her. The Lord delivered me listen you got your Bibles. There in your hands, you got the whole can of the Scriptures. The only thing that this poor woman had was secondhand messages secondhand messages and that's why we here at radio missions old trailblazer also true. We we print over half a million booklets every year we send them out by the thousands in the hundreds of thousand folks who help us give them out I was you do that and we sent them to Africa in Malawi and Lincoln Canyon and the different play Northern Ireland send them to Switzerland. We sent them to Fiji Islands. We send them where and in all over America and Canada. I was you'd become a Cole Porter for me just write me as a pastor, send me a listing of all of those messages, you might just have one in particular, we have one call play in church. We have one called the reality of Christ. We have one called religiously lost you right now senior title is and I'll send you a dozen or two of those you put them out, see what kind of reception you get, you may write me back to send a letter this morning from an individual said, send me 100 of hundred of them messages pastor lady called me. They said pastor send me 200 I'm working at a hospital. Now and they let me put them out.

We have another lady works in the hospital. She says it did. The hospital staff here encourages me to play with the with the patients in that great, my friend, you pray for what this is the old trailblazer would go on own day by day times are going by Lycos left for Smith used to say in the paper in the funny papers when Isaac is at times wasting well folks times wasting an old trailblazer just creeping along doing the best he can know we doing the best we can.
