Joshua 22:21-23:16; Luke 20:27-47; Psalm 89:14-37; Proverbs 13:17-19

Joshua is getting old and ready to go to heaven. He calls Israel and gives them a final warning.

 

“Do not come among these nations, these that remain among you, neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them.” (Joshua 23:7)

 

Through Joshua, God is teaching His people how to walk in His favor and blessing. We aren’t to constantly hang out with people who will bring us down, people who do not have God’s presence with them. Why? The affliction that is on them will begin to manifest in our life (negativity, unbelief, mental and physical strongholds, etc.). Jesus loved the sinners and spent time pointing them to God, but He really invested His heart and deeper teachings in His disciples and those who SHOWED A DESIRE to follow Him.

 

“Do not make mention of the name of their gods, nor swear by them.” If we continuously talk about lust, drugs, greed, pride, self, witchcraft, etc. know that we give it authority and power in our lives to attack and destroy us. Really, if you sit around comparing war stories it will change the atmosphere.

 

“Neither serve them” – never serve anything but God and do only what he gives you permission to do. Never bow yourself to anything but God. Remember “you shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you worship.” The Lord teaches us that we remove ourselves from His protection and He will no longer fight for us under these conditions. Wrong alliances will be “snares and traps, scourges in our sides and thorns in our eyes, until we perish from off the good land which the Lord has given us.” (Joshua 23:13) He is teaching us that He has blessed us and fought for us but if we turn our backs on Him and stop serving Him, then we will lose everything He has given us. Just don’t. Don’t pull yourself from God’s hand by opening wrong doors.

 

PRAYER:

Lord, help me to only connect with Your people who are living under Your covenant and blessing. These I will partner with along with You. I only want God relationships, people You have assigned to my life. I love You and ask You to order my steps. Help me to be kind to all mankind but only partner with God-sent people. In Jesus’ name 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!
