II Chronicles 6:12-8:10; Romans 7:14-8:8; Psalm 18:1-15; Proverbs 19:24-25

 

King Solomon has finished the Lord’s temple and has asked God to, in the future, forgive His people if they should sin and that He would keep His face toward this temple to be with them and to hear their prayers. The Lord responded, “Then the Lord appeared to Solomon at night and said to Him: ‘I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a temple of sacrifice. If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the grasshopper to consume the land, or if I send pestilence on My people, and My people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. My eyes will now be open and My ears attentive to prayer from this place. And I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My name may be there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there at all times.'” (II Chronicles 7:12-16)

 

The Lord says that if we ever find ourselves going through some serious times then we need to check our sin meter. It’s possible that we have done something to incite His wrath. Some folks want to make God out to be a candy that never allows anything bad or what have you. Quite the contrary, God is a warrior and He’s not one to sit around and be taken advantage of, blown off or mistreated. He is not a king but rather the King and chief rule maker. When we color outside of His lines He will let us know. When we figure out where we’ve gotten off it so important to repent and stop the offending behavior. God says if we will do this then He will forgive us.

 

The steps to restoration are to humble ourselves, pray and seek Him, and to turn from our wicked ways. It takes humility to recognize things are beyond our control and it’s a good possibility that something we have done or allowed is the reason for the crises. Yep, it’s a big deal to say, “I’m sorry, my bad.” When we’ve done that, our next step is to talk to Him, to open dialogue with Him and be persistent until we break through. He said He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.

 

Lastly, we must turn from what we’ve done or are doing. We can’t be truly repentant and continue in our sin. If we go back and forth, back and forth, we may find one day that we can’t make it back. It’s always better to work on that area while God’s dealing with it so it doesn’t become a stronghold in your life. Or, if it is already a stronghold, you’ll get freer the more you denounce the behavior and just stand.

 

God will help you overcome anything you face. He is able to help you stand strong. We must take that first step though and proceed through the steps listed above. Come on you can do it. God desires to hear you, to know you and to grow with you, it’s our responsibility to walk in obedience and to keep a right relationship with the Lord.

 

PRAYER:

Father, I pray that like Solomon You will always keep Your eyes and ears toward this temple because we know You are no longer housed in a building but rather in the hearts of Your people. Forgive me of sin in my life and help me to be an overcomer. I love You and submit this life that You have given me to Your leadership. Teach me how to be the person You created me to be. I pray for the conviction of Your Holy Spirit if ever I start to get off track and I pray for the desire to change. 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!
