Genesis 39:1-41:16; Matthew 12:46-13:23; Psalm 17:1-15; Proverbs 3:33-35

After Joseph, Israel’s second to youngest child, was sold into slavery by his brothers, he was again sold to an officer of Pharaoh named Potiphar. He quickly rose to the top and handled all of Potiphar’s business. Now Joseph was a good looking guy and smart to boot so he caught the eye of Potiphar’s wife. This woman was constantly wearing him down to be with her but he always maintained his integrity and rejected her. On this last instance, she grabbed his coat as he wiggled out and ran from her. Now that’s a word! With his coat in her hand, she accused Joseph of attempted rape. He was thrown in prison which doesn’t sound real great on the surface but it was actually God’s providential hand moving. Normally a man would have been put to death for such a crime.

During his tenure in the Egyptian penal facility Joseph rose to the top again. God used this prison time to temper Joseph and to prepare and position him for his upcoming task. Life really isn’t about our comfort level or our success in the eyes of the world. Life is about our purpose. To the majority of people Joseph would be consider a failure; forsaken and sold by his blood, a pervert accused of rape, a long term trustee. Yep, how’d you like to have that resume. All told, Joseph probably did about 10-12 years in prison.

While there he gave the interpretation of dreams for two of Pharaoh’s staff which came about exactly as he said. The one staffer that resumed his duties was a little late but after two years he did recommend Joseph to Pharaoh as one who could accurately interpret his dream.

“Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing and came to Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.’ So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, ‘It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.'” (Genesis 41:14-16)

If you are in the midst of the dungeon, be encouraged, God has not left your side. His favor is with you and when the time is right you are going from pauper to prince in one day. Sometimes other people’s bad decisions effect us and we don’t understand where our call is taking us but we must have faith that there is purpose in all we endure. God can use all things and turn it around for our good and His glory. In the meantime, let’s do like Joseph, let’s work hard, let’s shine for our God with all of our gifts and talents and when it’s time let’s be careful to give Him all of the credit so that others may see the power, strengths and mercy of our great God.

PRAYER:

Lord, help us all to be faithful to You, especially when we are walking through things we don’t understand. Help us to keep our eyes on You, remembering that this world is not our home. Father when we face hard things, remind us You are there and no matter what, You can make a way where there seems to be no way, that all things are propelling us toward our life’s purpose. 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!
