Genesis 50:1-Exodus 2:10; Matthew 16:13-17:9; Psalm 21:1-13; Proverbs 5:1-6

 

Jacob, who became Israel, dies. Wow, what a family history. As a young man Jacob steals his brother Esau’s birthright. Jacob’s name means deceiver, schemer, and through life as he grows and matures God changes his name to Israel meaning prince with God. Amazingly God is changing all of our names. We are moving from Jacob to Israel, from a deceiver to an over comer with God.

 

Now Israel has died and Joseph’s brothers are fearing for their lives. As you may recall they had sold Joseph into slavery. Joseph ended up in Egypt and because of God’s favor, rose to the top second only to Pharaoh. Be careful how you treat people. You never know, one day you may have to give an account to them. As Joseph was faithful to serve God, the Lord did great things in his life. In fact, God brought Joseph’s brothers to bow before him just as He showed Him in a previous vision.

 

As we are faithful, God will correct our enemies. Now Joseph’s brothers are begging him, fearing for their lives. Joseph said to them, “Fear not, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you thought evil against me but God meant it unto good to bring to pass as it is this day to save much people.” God did use Joseph to save people from all over the world.

 

I love Joseph’s heart. “Am I in the place of God?” In other words, “God is your judge and I give you to Him. I chose to trust God a long time ago. Even though you sold me out, God was still in control. I can’t lose with the stuff I use. My God is great and what you meant for evil God turned it into good.” Today, if you will trust God and believe Him He will turn your evil into good.

 

PRAYER:

God, I choose to trust You and look to You. No matter what people have done to me or said about me, I will be faithful and continue to believe in You. I will even pray for and bless my enemies. So God, have Your way in my life. To You be all the glory, honor and praise. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. 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!
