Daniel 5:1-31, II Peter 2:1-22, Psalm 119:113-128, Proverbs 28:19-20

 

“And you, his successor, O Belshazzar – you knew all of this, yet you have not been humble. For you have defied the Lord of Heaven and brought here these cups from His Temple; and you and your officers and wives and concubines have been drinking wine from them while praising gods of silver, gold, brass, iron, wood, and stone – gods that neither see nor hear nor know anything at all. But you have not praised the God who gives you the breath of life and controls your destiny! And so God sent those fingers to write this message, ‘Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.’” Daniel 5:22-25

 

Yesterday we talked about Belshazzar’s father and the space of grace he was given to repent and the judgment (which was still a form of grace) that came to him for not repenting. After a season of crisis, Nebuchadnezzer humbled himself and was restored. However, in this instance, we see what happens when grace is not received and sin is continued. Daniel tells him specifically what he has done and no additional mercy is shown because, unlike his father, Belshazzar knew the history and expectation of God. When you know this and have been extended grace, yet refuse to change, the next step will eventually come.

 

Tekel means that he had been weighed in the balance and had failed the test. This guy obviously didn’t have a bad day in the stock market. He was on a downward trend and the measure of grace was up. People followed his lead and God was setting a precedence to spare those under him. I’m not saying Belshazzar had to be perfect but he knew the seriousness of what he was doing and went head long into it anyway.

 

PRAYER: Father, help me to not take Your grace for granted. Prompt me to do what is right. Cause my desires to line up with Yours. I break pride off of myself and I ask You to forgive me for any area that needs to be corrected. Help me to submit it to You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Pastor Ricky and Jeannie Sinclair

From Ricky’s book, Miracle-at-Large, Ricky became an evangelist spreading the word of God through his testimony. He was a fire. He would go in, light it up and encourage people in the places he shared his testimony. When you’re an evangelist, you breeze in and breeze out, and you don’t have to worry about hurting anyone. But that was the start of the ministry. His evangelism was birthed from the book that came out, which gave him a platform. People started following us and we gave them resources and suggested churches to get plugged into. However, we developed a following of people that would not go anywhere else but honestly, it was not in our heart to start a physical church.

With us not wanting to turn people away, we started meeting together as a prayer group and started having a little teaching within the prayer group. But then, we were bursting out of our living room. Our house could squeeze 30 to 60 people in it butt here was not much you can do in it anymore with people wall-to-wall. We had John Mayers and his wife leading worship through singing and playing a guitar. We had all the elements for church, which led to people pressing us to start a church and they wouldn’t go anywhere else. With us growing but not ready for a church, we had to look into bigger spaces and started with one conference room in a hotel. However, we eventually consumed every conference room in the hotel as we continued to grow.

As we grew, we saw a lot of gifts and opportunities. As a result, we wanted to start a physical church where everybody was included and invited. Even if they seemed like they didn’t fit into a“traditional church”, they would be accepted at our church. I sought God and God spoke to my heart and said, “I want you to start a church and I’m going to send everybody that is like you to the church. You will have a church and they’ll be other churches, too. There will be people that I send to those churches, but you will become your own individual church with the people that I’m creating and building for your church.” That’s how we became our own identity and individual church with our own personality that God established because God put this in Ricky’s heart. Everyone from various backgrounds would be welcomed as family and they would have a place for them to go to church in a family… MiraclePlace Church.

Here we are still standing today with the same message from 2001: Everyone from various backgrounds are welcomed as family and this is a place for you to actually go to church in a family… Miracle Place Church in Baker, LA. Come as you are, You Belong Here!
