Ruth 2:1-4:22; John 4:43-54; Psalm 105:16-36; Proverbs 14:26-27

“Then women said to Naomi, ‘Praise the Lord, who has not left you without a family redeemer today. May his name be famous in Israel. He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. Indeed, your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.’ Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and took care of him. The neighbor women said, ‘A son has been born to Naomi,’ and they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.” (Ruth 4:14-17)

 

I appreciate Naomi’s realness. In Chapter 1, she was hurting and wasn’t afraid of a “bad confession.” Hey, stating reality is not a bad confession, things are what they are. The woman had lost her husband and her two sons while living in a foreign land. She attributed her loss to God and she was bitter about it.

 

My take is that things happen in life. We live in a sin-sick world where disease, crime and perversity run rampant. It is a sign of the human condition, as such, the world suffers. Most of us grieve for a better day. This is the thing, despite how bad things may get we must look for the Ruth in our lives. We must appreciate being able to “come home.” I’ve seen plenty of hard times and I am convinced that, once we get our bearings, there is always something to be grateful for.

 

If you are grieving or are just getting hit with a shock wave, I’m not here to take your anger or emotion away. Initial feelings must be felt and processed through before we can move forward. So what am I saying? I’m saying to feel what you feel but get ready to move ahead in life. If we don’t have that mentality we’ll get stuck, sometimes for a very long time. Don’t push away those God has placed in your life to help you get through. And don’t blame God forever; He’s your source of hope. Yes, He is sovereign but free will and the progression of sin are dominant in this world. But, hallelujah, I know a place where every tear will be wiped away and every pain will disappear. Know that we’re going to have anguish and disappointment here but hold on to that picture of heaven and not this world.

 

Just like He did for Naomi, God will bring things full circle for us if we embrace His grace. In Chapter 1, Naomi returned home calling herself Mara, or bitter, but in the end, everyone called her blessed. Acknowledge and hold on to your blessings!

 

PRAYER:

Lord, help me to keep heaven as the backdrop of my life. I always want to remember this world is not my home. I am an alien in a foreign land and I won’t always be here. Help me to make the most of my time but always with the thought that this is just for a short time and then I’ll be coming home to You. Teach me to embrace the blessings and comfort You offer. 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!
