Deuteronomy 9:1-10:22; Luke 8:4-21; Psalm 69:19-36; Proverbs 12:2-3

 

“When the Lord your God drives them out before you, do not say to yourself, ‘The Lord brought me in to take possession of this land because of my righteousness. Instead, the Lord will drive out these nations before you because of their wickedness. You are not going to take possession of their land because of your righteousness or your integrity. Instead, the Lord your God will drive out these nations before you because of their wickedness, in order to keep the promise He swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” (Deuteronomy 9:4-5)

 

When some people read the Old Testament and see all of the wars and violence, they may think God is unfair, that He randomly allowed the Israelites to take over other people’s land. The scripture above proves God’s heart. While it is true that God made a covenant with the Israelites that contained specific promises and conditions, He would not go against a people group that were acting righteously. All of the nations the Lord commanded His people to annihilate were wicked. He allowed them to be cut off to prevent the spread of their culture. In other words, their abhorrent behavior brought on their demise.

 

Before we know the Lord and sometimes even after meeting Him, we can open a door that enables us to be defeated in areas of our lives. I call them cracks in the armor. If your armor is compromised, then you can be taken out. It’s important to do frequent “armor” or heart checks to ensure we are in line with our God.

 

More importantly, we need to know our God and the covenant we have. Be informed, grow, and protect your heart (for out of it flows the issues of life). If you can do these things then the enemy will not be able to infiltrate your protective barrier, your covenant with God. So, we see many times our victory, or favor, doesn’t have so much to do with how great we are but rather how great our God is. He is fair in all things and always honors His timeless agreement. We should never boast or feel superior. God really brings things into perspective.

 

PRAYER:

Lord, give me revelation into our covenant. Help me to walk right because I want to be pleasing in Your sight. Also, help me to stay humble by reminding me that I am no better than anyone else apart from the righteousness I have gained through knowing and receiving 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!
