I Kings 8:1-66; Acts 7:51-8:13; Psalm 129:1-8; Proverbs 17:1

 

“Better a dry crust with peace than a house full of feasting and strife.” (Proverbs 17:1)

 

Personally, I would take a peaceful home over riches and beauty any day of the week. Who really wants to live like that, constant turmoil and bickering? Uh, come on. If achieving and maintaining success in a high-stress business and/or a relationship with a beautiful but shallow person is killing you, then have you really attained anything. I know many people who have gotten caught up in the rat race. When they slow down and think about it they have many regrets, they long for a simpler time.

 

If you find yourself in this position, take steps to gain some peace of mind. Start by simplifying your life. Knock out things you don’t really need but are just sucking the life out of you. If you are dating a person of strife drop them, do not wait, let them go. Let someone else pick up the therapy bill. Better to be alone than with the wrong person. You’ll struggle the rest of your life. If you are currently married to one, then do your best to be honest with them about changes that you’d like to see take place in your home. I pray God will touch their heart and yours to help you both overcome any obstacles. Know things probably won’t change overnight but stay consistent and change will come.

 

If you have a chaotic child, talk to them and state you aren’t going to feed the cyclone anymore. No more catering to their whims, the world does not revolve around them. It you don’t do this, you are not doing them any favors. The world doesn’t owe them anything and they will soon see.

 

And that high pressure job, I know beggars can’t be choosey but start downsizing in your life. Live within your means because most of your pressure is coming from having to have that large income to maintain everything. If you have prepared yourself, you’ll be able to snag that dream job should the door open, even if it pays a little less. If you have no choice about your job, then be the best you can be. Challenge yourself. When our heart is thrown into something it becomes better.

 

God wants to bless us but we have to follow the wisdom found in His Word. There are simple truths and examples of others successes and failures throughout the Bible that can really guide us through. I’m praying for God to really meet us where we are and help us to grow into the people He has designed us to be.

 

PRAYER:

Lord, open the eyes of my understanding. Help me to see any areas of my life that can be modified in order to relieve some of the stress I feel. Please touch my family’s hearts so that they can move forward with me. I break the spirit of busyness and pressure off of myself and those around me. I choose to relax and live in peace in Christ. In Jesus’ name 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!
