Deuteronomy 32:28-52; Luke 12:35-59; Psalm 78:56-64; Proverbs 12:24

 

“Then you will die on the mountain that you go up, and you will be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people. For both of you broke faith with me among the Israelites at the waters of Meribath-kadesh in the wilderness of Zin by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence. Although you will view the land from a distance, which I am giving the Israelites, you will not go there.” (Deuteronomy 32:50-52)

 

Awhile back on their journey to the Promised Land, Moses got aggravated with the children of Israel. They complained, wanting some water. Moses sought God who told him to speak to the rock and it would produce water. Instead, out of his frustration, he struck the rock. God honored Moses’ authority and the need of the people, but it came at a cost. For his disobedience Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land. After all that he had endured he could only look at the land from a mountain but would never go there.

 

To many that may seem like a harsh judgment call on God’s behalf. I think we can find the answer in our New Testament reading. “And that slave who knew his master’s will and didn’t prepare himself or do it will be severely beaten. But the one who did not know and did things deserving of blows will be beaten lightly. Much will be required of everyone who has been given much. And even more will be expected of the one who has been entrusted with more.” (Luke 12:47-48)

 

Moses had been given much in the form of intimacy with the Lord and duty. To that end much was required of him. The closer we get to God the more He expects us to know His voice and to obey. People who are younger in the Lord or do not know Him will typically get more leniency for their ignorance as we see the degrees of judgment in Luke and in James 3:1. With relationship comes responsibility – God holds us accountable.

 

PRAYER:

Lord, forgive me of any shortcomings that I may have. I pray for Your grace and mercy to cover my life. I also ask You to guide me, help me to hear You completely and to be fully obedient to 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!
