Miracle Moment

II Chronicles 24:1-25:28, Romans 12:1-21, Psalm 22:19-31, Proverbs 20:8-10

 

“Instead feed your enemy if he is hungry. If he is thirsty give him something to drink and you will be ‘heaping coals of fire on his head.’ In other words, he will feel ashamed of himself for what he has done to you. Don’t let evil get the upper hand, but conquer evil by doing good.” Romans 12:20-21

 

God’s ways are indeed higher than ours. Is being kind to your enemy the first thing that comes to mind? Probably not. I know it’s been a struggle for me through the years. As I’ve gotten older, it’s been helpful to look at “enemies” with pity. Pity helps to get past anger and to see their true state. They either don’t know God and are caught up in miserable games or they are saved but are deeply wounded and don’t know how to let the walls down. Either way, they obviously don’t have the joy or the love. Think of the weight they must carry with all the deception and hatred they harbor to hurt people on that level. No, we must be bigger than that. We must be overcomers of our own hurts and pain and extend God’s olive leaf to those still struggling. The only thing that will break cold evil is God’s warm love.

 

PRAYER: Lord, between me and You, people wear me out sometimes. I cannot believe how ugly and vindictive some folks are. Forgive me if I ever step out of line. I want to exhibit Your love and character in all situations. I pray right now for every person who has done me wrong and those who will seek to hurt me in the future. I ask You to pierce their hearts and draw them unto Yourself. Save them Lord, heal their hearts, change their desires, in Jesus’ name. 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!
