Exodus 29:1-30:10; Matthew 26:14-46; Psalm 31:19-24; Proverbs 8:14-26

  

“Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He told the disciples, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’ Taking along Peter and two sons of Zebedee, He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, ‘My soul is swallowed up in sorrow – to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with Me.’ Going a little farther, He fell face down and prayed, ‘My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me, Yet not as I will but as You will.’ (Matthew 26:36-39)

Jesus is on the verge of being betrayed by a friend. He knows the plan of His Father entails His suffering, humiliation and eventual death at the hands of ungrateful, ungodly people; the same people He is dying for. He is so overwhelmed with grief and is disappointed that His friends who came with Him can’t grasp the seriousness of what is going to happen, they can’t even pray for an hour with Him.

I wonder if anyone out there can identify with Jesus? Have you ever felt so alone, like even God Himself has abandoned you? Has everyone that you invested your life in turned their backs on you and left you to face your fate alone? Ever just felt like dying because you were so distressed?

Jesus has walked in your shoes. In the book of Hebrews He is called our High Priest, one who can identify with us. (Hebrews 4:15-16) That’s why we are encouraged to come boldly to Him. Even when He seems silent He is still there. Every one of us will have times in our lives when no one will be there for us, when we will be betrayed, depressed and stressed to the point of feeling like we just want to die. Just remember that you were created for a purpose and God will see you through until you have fulfilled your destiny. Jesus Himself said that He would never leave nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5) Take heart, be strong and like Jesus, let God’s perfect will be done in your life.

PRAYER:

Lord, I lay my life before You. I pray You will strengthen me and my brothers and sisters in Christ for the times that we need it. I pray to have the desire and ability to lay this life down for You in any capacity that You may require. Help me Father to keep my eyes on You. I love You, 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!
