The Old Trailblazer Broadcast

This is broadcast as a pastime depend on some coming to you from our studios here in Walker Louisiana and have it be with you folks. Many of you know the old trailblazer not having to be in your home. None is also going on several new stations all scattered all over the Southland East Coast and will get your list of those nations for long drive mail send them to you and we have to be back with you were still here in the 11th chapter of Hebrews now going on. I don't know if you have to do with him or not, but we go on own day by day. These are messages the old trailblazer pastel are Sheldon Senior gave over the boss to choose our Bible school there many many many many years ago back in 1966 and we put them in print.

Back then, just a copy or two and I have one of them and I gleaned from those and give you the sin of the Lord anybody but I'm just happy to be with you folks in the been bringing you the studies own faith looking at the face chapter we going to continue that today so let's open our Bibles that you will at Hebrews 1111 chapter of Hebrews and the start that the 20th verse today.

I was suggest and I've asked you several time to read this entire chapter 11 chapter of Hebrews over to three times and be ready for our next lesson we looking today at this saw this verse 11 chapter in 11 chapter and the student telescope and read we feel led to do that you give a study on the triumph of faith, faith, triumphant in the hearts of God's children.

Remember that the Bible was written, and these characters that the Holy Spirit includes here are for identification. Far examples of our knowledge. I don't know why but I don't know why but somehow Satan is closer to trick over the average individual when you talk about these characters in God word as examples, average versus our last just Bible S best in the Old Testament but listen. They think we not supposed to live a was supposed to do like that well where in the world are you going to get our example to follow. Were we going to act like we going to do, pray to me, that would best thing I can understand why folks will jump up and say oh that's in the Bible, best Bible characters as the Old Testament were not supposed to live like they live or do like they did give like they gave her no saint, but not awfully folks would push God were my friend Satan is done all that and a little out of our folks to do those thing I listen. In studying these character I won't my own life to conform to their successors and not to their failures. That's my prayer. All my friends and my prayer is Lord open heart to see the old trailblazer has no ability to do anything to open a heart no.

But on the Lord is the Lord has and I'm praying that the Lord will do that. Now let's read their beginning at the 20th verse 11 chapter, give you all of mass maturity in the service so please be prepared for that. Get your pencil and paper. Right-handed call letter by faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. Now that's the only statements Holy Spirit makes regarding the faith elastic in a strange desk. Just as those one little verse, you can go back and check it if you want to.

That's the only statement that the Holy Spirit makes regarding the faith of Isaac. You say one who I want about the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit dictated to these writers of the Old Testament and the New Testament Holy Spirit did at my friend, but that's only verse by faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come, no limit, call your attention to this in the studying of the life of Abraham. We found that the Holy Spirit devoted 12 long chapters to his biography 12 When he came to the recording of the acts of the biography of Isaac. You know how many chapters Holy Spirit devoted to that. Only two the 27th and the 26th and 27 chapters of Genesis, only to know as a reason for that.

And that's our main study this morning tonight when the Holy Spirit came to record and to pick up an incident in Isaac live that showed that he was a man of faith, he went down into twentieths 27 chapter and selected only one little incident in his life right at the close of his life, and here's what we read.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come and close the history of Isaac.

That's the last thing we ever hear of Isaac, and yet Isaac was a child of promise. Now let's notice in that and see it was if we probably cannot read some of our lives in that character. I'm open is not so in any of your lives. Looking at the life of Isaac as a whole.

We see it was a very disappointing live now you go back and read it in the 26 and 27 chapters of Genesis and you will find as a whole. Isaac live taken as a whole was a very disappointing disappointed and disappointing to me.

It it it is yes in the life of Isaac, we clearly note less of Abraham's triumph of faith, but we also noticed less of Jacob's failures – two characteristics that I note motion. Isaac Lobdell is noticed that 27 chapter genitive got you Bible right there close over the rock. Quicken will read any came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son is set under him. My son and he said, behold, hear my here I am in the illustrated ways Isaac about to do was a prophecy concerning those two sons Jacob and Esau. But before we go any further I want to call your attention to an expression here. He said it is his ordeal so that he could not see know those little things have a way of slipping by. Don't I know, incidentally, it was referring to his physical condition, but I believe in my heart there's a deeper meaning here in that expression when he said that his eyes were dim, so that he could not see that beneath listen that beneath that we can see Isaac spiritual condition that his eyes not only is physical body were dim, but the eyes of his soul.

His spiritual body were dim if they had not been dimmed. I was Isaac on the verge of turning aside to complete prophecy of God word he called Esau to his bedside are in the room.

There were he was sitting probably in the chair. He said my son.

I'm getting old.

My days are numbered.

I want you to go and take a bow and arrow and going the force in Killdeer and come back and make me some bins and like I like that I may bestow my blessing or the blessings upon you the covenant, the Abraham a covenant mixer trimmer done all my friends make you tremble. Now what was a prophecy concerning Esau. If you go back to Genesis 25, 23, you'll find these words and the Lord said under Rebecca two nations are in thy womb, and to mentor people shall be separated from thy bowels and the one people shall be stronger than the other people in the elder shall serve the younger. Jacob have I loved Esau have I hated us. Romans 913 and forecastle chocolate that I had focus almost scream in my face is that one literal Jacob alone in peace Esau have I hated that's not literal. I don't mean that a little will not take God word. It is don't you don't you just take God word as it is for this you call it literal or not. I believe it now. There's a prophecy that was a prophecy older shall serve the younger. Notice call your attention to something else that is a strangely strange to me that prophecy was made to Rebecca and not Isaac. No one in the Lord speak Isaac was because of his spiritual condition. I think it was Isaac was not the spiritual man that his father was.

He won the spiritual landed. Jacob was, he would not the spiritual man to Joseph for that we mean by that. They didn't have this discernment on the spirit of discernment and many times I've have had to expression like this will he didn't have the wisdom you don't have any wisdom to know why the so so I like to do with illegal having wisdom. My dad used to say done. They don't have any mother with you mean that they don't have the spirit of discernment. Their eyes were DMV yes yes there spiritual life is them now. Why was a spiritual live of Isaac dim will will see now in just a moment and and that when we get there.

No doubt Rebecca had told Isaac what the Lord had told her I'm sure she did that she had sent down and told her however before those children were born what God had said to her, but as I said the strange thing to me is that Isaac, a child of the promised seemingly had very little spiritual discernment now was the first indication of that in the face of that prophecy.

Isaac was partial to Esau and loved Esau build Jacob for one reason know what was that reason can you answer my friend. Think about just a moment, can you answer that question.

Somebody answered what was it he said he severed his meat. It was flesh.

The reason is that what you is that what you were telling me for flesh. The reason he loved his venison and the indication is that Isaac live too much after the flesh, and therefore his fleshly life dimmed his spiritual and it'll do whatever time I don't care what you turn your live may be. It takes after the flesh, and they're not that continual battle in fighting and conquering at the feet of Christ. It may be a continued battle from the time God saves you until you close your eyes for you to walk above that fleshly appetite day by day. Now, my friend. I know what I'm thinking that not one thing one thing or another may plague your life. Another thing may plague my life. That's the best thing you plagued Isaac life was that he loved Esau's business and in Isaac loved Esau because he ate a live venison know that's what he said he ate of his venison.

Genesis 25, 28, but Rebecca love Jacob. How about that but but Rebecca love Jacob Nasser*amazing story here of these two boards coming out of the same loans.

There born between born.

I don't understand a lot of how the Lord moved to you I don't but I take it is word I take him at his word that he knows all about Bob Smith. He knows Ian from the beginning and you know what what operates a law for the city knew all about open doors. He did, he did just praise the Lord. I can look back and say that you and others. The Lord knew all about it and when he was on. I was born down here in a little strawberry patch. One horse form children law, the children were dying back then because of childhood diseases and all those things were so poor I don't understand how we ever made. We live in an old house. It you can keep it warm in the winter were no cooler in the summer have no fireplace and we had a big old log fireplace and it burned up on one side and cold free zone earlier in wintertime with the Lord you see the Lord when he has his hand on you. Just think about how primitive the time was back there and Abraham day when Isaac was born in England, Jacob and Esau were born. They didn't have the modern facilities that have now with the Lord looked over the Lord kept his hand on day by day and that's what I praise the Lord for and if you don't have it. If you don't have all that that same thinking, my friend. Just think about it. The Bible says the Lord knows those that are his and the Bible says we worse's elected before the foundation of the world. Lord Nguyen when opened, all was born he did the little strawberry farm down here in South Louisiana we had to work and struggle to know a thing in the world about the Bible or anything.

If we did come up the Lord say Lord gave us made us aware of the depression and all those times we get off of that and get back on the study and the next day and I wish you would write me let me hear from you remember it.
