Deuteronomy 28:1-68; Luke 11:14-36; Psalm 77:1-20; Proverbs 12:18

“When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it roams through waterless places looking for rest, and not finding rest, it then says, ‘I’ll go back to my house where I came from.’ And returning, it finds the house swept and put in order. Then it goes and brings seven other spirits eviler than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that man’s last condition is worse than the first.’ As He was saying these things, a woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, ‘The womb that bore You and the one who nursed You are blessed!’ He said, ‘Even more, those who hear the Word of God and keep it are blessed!'” (Luke 11:24-28)

 

Salvation and freedom are so much more than just a prayer. If we mumble a few words but have no corresponding action, then our prayer was empty. Prayer is the door that opens us to the supernatural world of Holy Spirit. If we truly give ourselves to Him, then Holy Spirit comes in, applies the blood of Jesus that sanctifies us and then the real work begins. You may ask, “Well, how do I know if I’ve “truly” surrendered, and it wasn’t just an emotional plea?” You will know because there will be a difference in your life. From the moment I gave my heart to Jesus, I realized there was something going on internally. My mind-set began to shift, my desires began to change, my attitude was altered. Amazing! Trust me, you’ll know. You must go with the changes and fill yourself with God’s Word, allowing Holy Spirit to work out your salvation from within.

 

Our transformation begins and progresses over the space of our lifetime, so no one is saying that we are “holier than thou” once we are born again, only that the process has begun, and we are under construction. The one thing that separates us initially is the accepting and application of Jesus’ sacrifice. Period. After that, we will know, and people will see signs of our change according to the effort we put into knowing our God. So, it’s more than repeating words and learning a few scriptures. It’s not what we know, it’s Who we know and it’s not how much we know but how much we are actually applying to our life. The above scripture talks about God freeing a person from bad spirits with the expectation that they will begin to fill their spirit with righteous things. But if we do not pursue God and fill our hearts with His Word and begin walking that Word out, then the demons will return and bring more with them.

 

A backslidden person is probably one of the most miserable people because they are torn inside. They know the truth yet are dominated by evil. The enemy keeps them tormented with regrets and failure, doubts about whether they really had an experience with God and possibly bitterness that God was not able to keep them, if indeed He really exists. It’s a terrible place to be. In their mind all of the scriptures on repentance and forgiveness apply to others not them. Those are lies of the enemy.

 

If you have found yourself in this position, then you must work hard to rise above this mental and spiritual domination. Find someone who you can trust, have them pray with you, exorcise those bad spirits, receive forgiveness, forgive yourself, apply the Word by faith and move forward. You are a mighty person of God, don’t let the enemy of your soul steal one more moment from you!

 

PRAYER:

Lord, I surrender myself to You. I ask You to forgive me, I receive it, help me to forgive myself. I do believe in You, I do love You and I do believe that according to Your Word, You are greater than the condemnation of my heart. I release all of this foolishness. I am ready to get on track. 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!
