Genesis 42:18-43:34; Matthew 13:47-14:12; Psalm 18:16-36; Proverbs 4:7-10

  

“He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me for they were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support. He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.

 

The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.” (Psalm 18:16-21)

 

No offense, but this was a Psalm of King David and we all know that he was not a blameless, sinless man. This was written before Bathsheba and Uriah, but it’s obvious that even before his “big sin” David was just a human being, one that occasionally made mistakes; a mere mortal who loved God with a passion. David was not one that would habitually allow sin to reign in his life and the one thing David did have was a repentant heart. God isn’t looking for perfect people, He’s looking for perfect hearts. He wants those who are after Him and He will protect those who are His.

 

Later in his life David committed a grave sin by taking the life of an innocent, undeserving man, Uriah. When confronted by the prophet he confessed and repented. Now I make note that he didn’t go before all of Israel, only the prophet and the Lord. David cried out to God and asked Him to renew a right spirit within him. And the Lord did because He loved David, obviously not because of his righteousness but because of his repentant heart and the pure love he had shown the Lord through the years.

 

“For You will light my lamp; the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall. As for God, His way is perfect; the Word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” (18:28-30)

 

No matter who you are or where you are at, if you will put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved God will move on your behalf as well. Some may say that it isn’t fair to be able to just say you’re sorry and have God forgive and protect you. Please see that it’s so much more than apologizing for a wrong. You must know God is righteous and just. He has made a way through forgiveness for all of us to keep ourselves right before Him but if we sin there are consequences.

 

Also, we cannot continuously live like heathens and expect the blessing of God. God is no fool and He won’t be mocked. He is gracious to us though and if we have a misstep but repent (turn away and stop doing what we were doing) then God will usually move on behalf of His children and lessen the retribution against them.

 

God is a good God, He’s a great Daddy and true friend and through Him we are empowered to do phenomenal things. Let’s just do our best to stay close to Him and to stay clean from habitual sin. Watch how His supernatural power is going to move through our lives. Like David proclaimed, we are going to do the impossible, run through a troop and leap over a wall because our God is a faithful warrior.

 

PRAYER:

Lord help me to remember that it’s not my righteousness that I stand on but Yours. You are the true one, You are the majestic king with all power in Your hand. I humbly submit myself to You and ask that You would forgive me of any sin in my life, come into my heart and make me whole. Through my relationship with You I am ten feet tall and bullet proof. I love You Lord, it’s in Your name that 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!
