Exodus 2:11-3:22; Matthew 17:10-27; Psalm 22:1-18; Proverbs 5:7-14



“And the Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey…'” (Exodus 3:7-8)

 

“Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt. But Moses said to God, ‘Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?’ So He said, ‘I will certainly be with you.'” (3:10-12)

 

“Then Moses said to God, ‘Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?’ And God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ And He said ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ Moreover God said to Moses, ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.'” (3:14-15)

 

God is not blind to what occurs in our lives. Sometimes we suffer because of the choices we make and sometimes we suffer because of the choices of others. God is still able to change our circumstances. God saw the oppression, He heard their cries, and He knew their sorrow. He came down that He might bring them up! God is a God of action, His very name is a verb, I AM! Who is God? He is anything you need Him to be.

 

When God told Moses that He was sending him to deliver His people, Moses asked, “Who am I?” And God replied, “It doesn’t really matter who you are because I AM certainly going to be with you.” Yes indeed, that’s what I’m talking about. We get too hung up on ourselves and our abilities sometimes when actually it’s God who backs up anything that we are anyway. So the next time you wonder, “Who am I to take on such a task?” just remember it’s not about “who am I,” it’s about “I AM.”

 

And don’t think that the use of the name I AM was just for that generation. Oh no, God said that His name would be a memorial to all generations. He is just as accessible to us today as He was in the days of Moses. God wants to move in your life. He wants to be your great I AM. He wants to use you to deliver others. God hears our cries and wants us to be liberated from the bondage that holds us to this world so we can be all that He has created and called us to be. Rise up and take your place!

 

PRAYER:

Lord, I ask You to be my great I AM. I surrender to You and pray You will rescue me from the ties that bind me. As I become free, I choose to yield to You and Your will for my life. I trust that whatever You assign me to do, You will back up with Your great power. In the name of Jesus 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!
