II Chronicles 32:1-33:13; Romans 15:23-16:9; Psalm 25:16-22; Proverbs 20:16-18

In Romans 16:1-8, Paul is encouraging those in the body to receive Phoebe. She is a woman who has well proven herself as a servant of the church. She is what is considered a deaconess and has been a helper of many people, including Paul. He continues greeting a lot of people he’s been associated with. I like Paul’s attitude. He does his best to help people move forward in order to progress the work of God. The Apostle Paul is an edifier, he builds people up. As he goes through his list, he has something positive to say about each person, “These hold church in their home, this one works very hard, and this one is my dear friend.”

 

It’s so important to be positive and to lift up the good qualities in people. Everybody appreciates an “atta-boy” from time to time and it goes a long way in expanding the Body of Christ. Kingdom business can be unappreciated, tough work, so in order to assemble teams that are able to spread the gospel it requires leaders who are able to see beyond people’s little flaws and idiosyncrasies. Most everyone you will meet has some baggage from their life, either from their upbringing or personal mistakes they have made. Leaders have a responsibility to lift them up, to help them heal, to show them truth in the Word that can transform them because everybody in Christ has something to bring to the table.

 

Why not help someone feel special. It’s a shallow, insecure person who feels the need to keep people suppressed. The Apostle Paul was not this way at all. He saw whole people as the building blocks of the faith. It was his heart to expose them to the Word, the work of the Holy Spirit and whatever positivity that he could offer to help them grow.

 

PRAYER:

Lord, I pray to have an uplifting attitude and to esteem others better than myself. My heart’s desire is to see Your kingdom grow with healthy, balanced people. Help me to do my part. Please forgive me for ever hurting or misleading Your people. I pray You would deliver me from being used as a tool of the enemy. I submit my life to You. 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!
