Numbers 14:1-15:16; Mark 14:53-72; Psalm 53:1-6; Proverbs 11:4

“Then the whole community broke into loud cries, and the people wept that night. All the Israelites complained about Moses and Aaron, and the whole community told them, ‘If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness! Why is the Lord bringing us into this land to die by the sword?” Our wives and little children will become plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt? So they said to one another, ‘Let’s appoint a leader and go back to Egypt.’ Then Moses and Aaron fell down with their faces to the ground in front of the whole assembly of the Israelite community. Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who scouted out the land, tore their clothes and said to the entire Israelite community: ‘The land we passed through and explored is an extremely good land. If the Lord is pleased with us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and give it to us. Only don’t rebel against the Lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land, for we will devour them. Their protection has been removed from them, and the Lord is with us. Don’t be afraid of them!'” (Numbers 14:1-9)

“The Lord said to Moses, ‘How long will these people despise Me? How long will they not trust in Me despite all the signs I have performed among them?” (Numbers 14:11)

The twelve spies have just brought back a report to Moses, Aaron and the people concerning Canaan, the promised land. Only two said they were well able to take the land. The other ten exaggerated that the men were huge and the task impossible. Now the whole community is scared and wanting to turn back. Like many people, the Israelites preferred to go back to slavery rather than fight through for freedom.

Let me say that again. Many people would prefer to return to slavery (their state prior to knowing Jesus) rather than press through their issues to enjoy a better life. Why? We are creatures of habit that would rather not have to exert the energy required for a walk of faith. Faith is hard sometimes. I often wonder why I can’t have an easier time so that I won’t have to live out this faith all the time – LOL! “God, You never said I was gonna have to work for the promised land, did You?!”

God was giving them the land but expected His people to believe Him. All they could see was the natural environment. God requires us to have faith rather than fear, to look beyond the natural to the spiritual. I’m not talking about being a flake but moving strong on a word from God. Please know that these people griped and doubted all the time, this wasn’t an occasional deal. God understands when we get scared or unsure and He helps us to move forward. (I mean how many fleeces did Gideon put out!) But a constant bad attitude and confession will find us wandering the wilderness all of our life. Let the Israelites be an example to us, trust God, He knows the outcome, He’s already been there…

PRAYER:

Lord, I pray to walk in faith instead of fear. Help me to believe and to step out when I know You are directing my steps. I love You and pray that Your body will truly begin to hear Your voice and move as one. 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!
