Nehemiah 9:22-10:39; I Corinthians 9:19-10:13; Psalm 34:1-10; Proverbs 21:13

 

“Moreover brethren I would not that you should be ignorant how that all of our fathers were under the cloud and all passed through the sea. All did eat the same spiritual meat and drank the same spiritual drink of that spiritual rock that followed them and that rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.” (I Corinthians 10:1-5)

 

God is teaching us about Israel, His chosen people, and how He delivered them out of Egyptian slavery. This is always symbolic of Him delivering us out of bondage. God’s warning is this: We must never forget where we came from or who has set us free. That release and sustained victory comes only by the power of the blood of Christ and His Holy Spirit whom He has sent to live in us. (Galatians 2:20)

 

As He said, all of the people went through the same circumstance and all had the same exposure to Him, yet the majority did not make it to the Promised Land. Why is that? Reading this text, we see that many of God’s people took their eyes off of Him. They became idolaters by placing people and things before the Lord. (V7) Many committed fornication and 23,000 died in one day. (V8) Some tempted Christ and were destroyed by serpents. (V9) Some of them murmured and complained and were destroyed of the destroyer as they gave place to the devil. (11)

 

Then the Bible tells us that these scriptures were written as an example to warn us lest we should fall into the same trap. Here is what God says, “No temptation has taken you that is not common to man, but God is faithful with the temptation who will make a way of escape that you may be able to bear it thereby.” (V13) Keeping our eyes on Christ is the key. We must totally trust and depend upon Him. We must cease from our works, putting our heart and mind on Him in trust, knowing that He will make a way of escape as we look only to Him.

 

I don’t know what you are facing or what you are up against. Maybe in your own strength you’ve been trying to take care of it. God promises that whatever you are going through He is faithful to make a way of escape. The key to victory is letting Him take over our lives. We have no power within ourselves to make the way of escape, only He can as we give our dilemma to Him. Our only power lies in our obedience to Him.

 

In closing, we don’t have to stay trapped in sin unless we so choose. When we recognize that we are off, we simply need to remember what happened to the children of Israel, repent and get our eyes on Christ. He’ll guide us out directly. Don’t pass up the door of escape!

 

PRAYER:

God, I tried, I can’t do it! The more I try in myself, the more I fall. Here is my life and situation, I pray You will arise and move on my behalf. The battle is Your’s Lord, I am Your’s and my life is hidden in You. I trust and serve You with all of my heart. God I give You all the glory. Save me from my enemies, save me from temptation, and save me from myself. Father, set me free and I will give You all of the glory, honor and praise, in the name of Jesus. 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!
