I Chronicles 9:1-10:14, Acts 27:21-44, Psalm 8:1-9, Proverbs 18:23-24

 

“No one had eaten for a long time, but finally Paul called the crew together and said, ‘Men, you should have listened to me in the first place and not left Fair Havens – you would have avoided all this injury and loss! But cheer up! Not one of us will lose our lives, even though the ship will go down.'” Acts 27:21-22

 

In the previous verses we see the folks on the boat have been going through a horribly long storm. They’ve thrown practically everything overboard, they’re afraid and no one has been eating. In the next verse we read that Paul had a visitation and received a word that everyone was going to survive if they all stuck together. Paul believed it so much that he grabbed something to eat and encouraged everyone else to do the same. After they listened to what Paul said, they ate and the whole boat felt a lot better about the situation. They weren’t completely out of danger, but Paul was confident in the Lord, that He would do as He said and protect them.

 

Sometimes God’s plan and protection seems crazy. In your mind, you’re thinking how bout we just calm those waves and translate over to an island. Let’s end this. I don’t know why God allows what He allows sometimes but I do know that He is faithful. As His representatives, it is important that we be the voice of reason, the one with faith that people can look to for hope, His arms and legs in any given situation. Admittedly, God warned these people through Paul before they ever left. Now, they are seeing Paul actually heard from God so when he gives them another word, they are more apt to believe God. No matter what, God uses all things to work together for our good. Maybe He got a few conversions out of that trip!

 

PRAYER: Lord, when things are hard and there is no end in sight, I ask You to give me peace, give me a word that will get us all through. My heart trusts in You and I know You will never leave nor forsake me. I thank You that You are saving those around me as well. Help me to be that light in the darkness. In Jesus’ name. 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!
