“Jonathan said to the attendant who carried his weapons, ‘Come on, let’s cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will help us. Nothing can keep the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few. His armor-bearer responded, ‘Do what is in your heart. You choose. I’m right here with you whatever you decide.'” (I Samuel 14:6-7)

 

“‘Follow me,’ Jonathan told his armor-bearer, ‘for the Lord has handed them over to Israel.’ Jonathan went up using his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer behind him. Jonathan cut them down, and his armor-bearer followed and finished them off.” (14:12b-13)

 

The office of an armor-bearer is a huge and honorable assignment. All leaders need a spiritual armor-bearer. The armor-bearer follows and believes in the leader and his vision. Right, wrong or indifferent an armor-bearer supports his leader, knowing God can even use their mistakes for growth. (Disclaimer: Not saying you should do anything immoral, unethical or illegal for another person. Only saying that once you express your concerns or perceptions, you can choose to support them even if their idea seems like a mistake in your opinion.) An armor-bearer carries the weight of the leader’s weapons. He ensures his leader’s weapons are in order and ready to go when needed. His leader is prepared for war because he has taken care of everything. He provides relief so his leader can strategize and direct. An armor-bearer doesn’t draw off of the leader’s energy, he encourages and strengthens him. The armor-bearer backs up his leader in the fight, he helps to round out vision by finishing what his leader starts.

 

The leader and armor-bearer move like a well-oiled machine. A true armor-bearer is humble; he’s not threatened by the limelight his leader is in. He has no desire to be in his leader’s shoes, only to do his best to complement his gifts. It is a true partnership that enables two people to fulfill their purpose fluidly and efficiently.

 

PRAYER:

Lord, I thank You for opportunities to be on both sides. I pray that whether I am a leader or an armor-bearer that I will do my assignment with joy and peace. Give me vision and wisdom, lead me Lord to the path You have for me. Keep my heart humble. 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!
