Judges 19:1-20:48; John 3:22-4:3; Psalm 104:24-35; Proverbs 14:22-24

 

“Then a dispute arose between John’s disciples and a Jew about purification. So they came to John and told him, ‘Rabbi, the One you testified about, and who was with you across the Jordan, is baptizing – and everyone is flocking to Him.’ John responded, ‘No one can receive a single thing unless it’s given to him from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I’ve been sent ahead of Him.'” (John 3:25-28)

 

Just like a human being to be so argumentative and opinionated. The first thing we read is how John’s disciples are debating purification with a Jew. Then they turn and start in on John about how this guy Jesus is baptizing their potential disciples. Haha. It sounds funny when you look at it like that doesn’t it. John knew his call and I love his response. He simply tells his boys that a person can only do what God allows. Whew. Well that takes off a lot of pressure huh. You mean that no one group has a monopoly on God and on truth. Wow! We don’t have the responsibility of winning every soul and discipling every person. We don’t have to police the whole body. How liberating.

 

Sometimes we get so caught up in a territorial or even superior spirit that we forget we are all on the same team. We all want to see souls won for Christ. We all want to see people avoid hell. We all want to see people live up to their potential. We all do want that don’t we? Christianity isn’t about building up a particular person’s ministry it is about growing the kingdom of God. I know you love your church and believe that everyone should attend but not everyone is called to your church, not everyone is called to mine and that’s okay. Diversity is good for the body so long as our core beliefs are the same.

 

I leave you with this last word from John the Baptist, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 4:30) It’s all about Jesus folks. Let’s just so let our light shine that He is all people can see. Let’s become so much like Him that going into any church will be like McDonald’s, the quarter pounder is consistently the same. Hallelujah! When they see any of us, the Spirit that moves us will still be the same. May God bless you and all you do to further His kingdom. Love your brothers. Appreciate and respect what they are doing for Jesus.

 

PRAYER:

Lord, forgive me for thinking higher of myself than I ought. I realize the body of Christ is bigger than me and there is no way I can single-handedly win the world. Thank You so much for brothers and sisters who are all joining in with their gifts, talents and faith to expand Your kingdom throughout the world. I am so excited to be a part of the bigger picture. Thank You Lord for calling me and giving me an assignment. 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!
