Judges 7:1-8:17; Luke 23:13-43; Psalm 97:1-98:9; Proverbs 14:7-8

“Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at Him: ‘Aren’t You the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!’ But the other answered, rebuking him: ‘Don’t you fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment? We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.’ Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!’ And He said to him, ‘I assure you; today you will be with Me in paradise.'” Luke 23:39-43

 

So, what happens when I die? According to this scripture if you have connected with Jesus then you will be with Him. In II Corinthians 5:8 it reads that when we are absent from the body, we are home with the Lord. Chapter 5 pretty much leads into this point. It speaks of losing this “earthly house” (our physical body) and gaining a “house” from God (our glorified heavenly body). It talks about mortality being swallowed up by immortality and how Jesus became sin for us so that we could become the righteousness of God and be reconciled to Him. It’s the plan of salvation and the benefit for accepting it.

 

And again, in Philippians 1:21-24, the Apostle Paul says that he is in a strait. He would rather die so he can go home to be with the Lord, but he felt staying here was more beneficial for those he was teaching about Jesus. With all of the heartache, pain and pressures of life, any honest person that has walked this earth any amount of time has probably felt the same way. I know I have. I yearn to be in God’s presence. What I experience when I attend church with other believers and when I worship Him alone is so minute compared to what it is going to be like when we are able to totally behold Him. I am convinced that no peace and joy exist on this level in this current world. The flesh will no longer have any kind of a hold – so that battle will be over. No more tests, trials or temptations. I’m telling you it will be true freedom.

 

But…for the meantime, I am content to know God to the fullest degree possible and to serve my fellow man the best I can. Hopefully I will be able to share the light of the gospel with multitudes and see them discipled before I leave. I want to cast my crowns at His feet and say, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb of God, worthy is His name.” You feel the power of that!

 

PRAYER:

Lord, I love You and surrender to Your will. Give me wisdom to win souls. I pray for a calm, patient spirit that can hear from You. I trust You with everything and cannot wait for the day we can all be together in Your kingdom where there will be no more death and every tear will be wiped from our eyes. Until then, I love You Jesus. 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!
