Deuteronomy 11:1-12:32; Luke 8:22-39; Psalm 70:1-5; Proverbs 12:4

“When He got out on land, a demon-possessed man from the town met Him. For a long time he had worn no clothes and did not stay in a house but in the tombs.” (Luke 8:27)

 

“The man from whom the demons had departed kept begging Him to be with Him. But He sent him away and said, ‘Go back to your home, and tell all that God has done for you.’ And off he went, proclaiming throughout the town all that Jesus had done for him.” (Luke 8:38-39)

 

When I came to know Jesus I was homeless, living out of two bags. I’m unsure of how many demons I housed but I’m sure that I had a few considering all of the vices, strongholds and inner conflicts that were present in my life. I probably looked a lot like the demon-possessed man in the scripture above. I’m sure the town people that knew me thought I was a loser who would never amount to much. And truth be told, if Jesus had not rescued me I probably would have stayed at the bottom of the totem pole.

 

Another similarity between me and the man is that once he was set free he didn’t want to leave Jesus. I know that I was so excited that I would have left here to go to heaven without a moment’s thought. I never wanted to be apart from Him for one minute. While the demoniac met Jesus in the flesh, I have the opportunity to have His Holy Spirit with me at all times. Even still, I cannot wait to be in the fullness of God’s presence.

 

Also like the man, Jesus sent me to tell others about what He has done for me. Maybe I can’t quote scripture chapter and verse like some, I’ve never studied Hebrew and Greek, and I don’t have a doctorate (yet), but this I know – once I was lost and now I am found, I was blind but now I see. Hallelujah!!! I just wish somebody would get excited about the work and heart of God! I said He took a homeless, bound up loser and turned me around. I may not be everything I’d like to be, but I am certainly not where I was.

 

God is good and has really done a tremendous work in my life. He is no respecter of persons and what He has done for me He will surely do for you. Maybe you aren’t where I was. Maybe you just need peace, financial breakthrough, salvation, or healing in your body. God is your answer, He is the source of all things. Praying that you will seek Him today.

 

Oh, and by the way, while I am sure that all of us would love to be raptured out, we remain because we have work to do. Sooo, get busy!

 

PRAYER:

Lord, I surrender myself to You. I am laying aside all of my preconceived notions concerning Christianity and I am praying to be born again and led by Your Spirit. Keep me from deception and spark a fire in my heart for evangelism. Grant unto Your servant boldness to speak Your Word. (Acts 4:29) 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!
