I Chronicles 19:1-21:30; Romans 2:25-3:8; Psalm 11:1-7; Proverbs 19:10-12

 

David was manipulated by Satan and requested a count of his military. Apparently, this shouldn’t have been done without direction from the Lord. Even his commander of the troops tried to talk him out of it. As a result, the prophet came to him and gave him a choice of punishment; three years of famine, three months of his enemies’ wrath or three days of pestilence from the Lord. He chose to fall into the hands of God. David and his elders put on sackcloth and repented before the Lord. The prophet Gad came back to tell David to build an altar on Ornan’s threshing floor and offer a sacrifice. That’s where we pick the scripture up.

 

“Then David said to Ornan, ‘Give me this threshing floor plot so that I may build an altar to the Lord on it. Give it to me for the full price, so the plague on the people may be halted.’ Ornan said to David, ‘Take it! My lord the king may do whatever he wants. See, I give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering – I give it all.’ King David answered Ornan, ‘No, I insist on paying the full price, for I will not take for the Lord what belongs to you or offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” (I Chronicles 21:22-24)

 

David had such a conviction about his offerings. He wanted to feel it. He didn’t want to just pass on something that had been given to him, then the offering would have actually been coming from Ornan, not him. What good would that have been? It was David’s fault the plague had come, and it was his responsibility to provide the offering that would cause it to cease. When we think about our own personal sacrifice it should be something that affects us, there is no gain without the pain. If a person says, “Oh, I’m fasting candy for the Lord.” Then we find out that you don’t even like candy. Well, what kind of a sacrifice is that? It’s not. God gives His all to us, how could we do any less.

 

PRAYER:

Lord, I ask You to show me Your heart concerning sacrifice and offerings. I don’t want to come before you empty-handed. I am grateful to You for my many blessings. 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!
