II Samuel 17:1-29; John 19:23-42; Psalm 119:129-152; Proverbs 16:12-13

“My eyes pour out streams of tears because people do not follow Your instructions.” (Psalm 119:136)

 

I would never presume to know everything, and I certainly would never assert that I am by any means perfect. One thing I do know is this, through the years the Word of God has enlightened me so much and while I am not where I would like to be, I am definitely not where I was. When I try to give advice or when I try to help someone, I always go back to the instruction found in the Word of God because it is what has changed me.

 

Not too long ago, I tried to counsel a young lady who has been to prison and is out on parole. She came seeking money for her parole fees (which she was six months behind on). She admitted that she had recently done cocaine and marijuana but I suspected that she was much deeper into the drugs than a one-time slip. I offered her advice from the Word of God concerning getting help, surrendering to God, becoming accountable to others and surrounding herself with Godly people who can help her to win her battle in a safe environment.

 

It quickly became obvious that she wasn’t interested in long term help, only a short-term solution of a few dollars (most likely to buy one more hit). From her own mouth, she essentially was just waiting to go back to jail. She had already given up on herself instead of giving God a real shot. To be honest, most folks don’t want to put forth the effort it takes to serve God wholly. The reality is, it’s harder to live outside of His will than it is to just be compliant to His instructions.

 

It absolutely breaks my heart to see folks who will not surrender to God and follow His direction. I mean, I am on the outside looking in. This person is failing in their life, and I share solutions that all stem from the wisdom of God’s Word and it is rejected. It rips me up because there is no doubt they will continue to spiral down and will probably blame God for it. Why are we human beings so hardheaded?

 

If you are reading this today, please consider what has been said when facing your own challenges. Instead of doing your own thing, seek God and get His will and direction for your circumstance. I promise you that God will never steer you wrong. It may not always be the easiest path to take but it will be the most successful. And for those who are broken for those who struggle, keep your eyes on Jesus, keep pointing them to Him and keep it in prayer.

 

PRAYER:

Lord, I ask You to forgive me for being so hard-headed sometimes. Help me to seek Your heart on all things in life so I can make good decisions. I pray for those who are so lost and will absolutely not listen to You. I pray You will have great mercy on them. Please break through their stubbornness and help them to learn obedience so they can experience a better life. 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!
