I Samuel 29:1-31:13, John 11:55-12:19, Psalm 118:1-18, Proverbs 15:24-26

“But Judas Iscariot, the disciple who would soon betray Him, said, ‘That perfume was worth a year’s wages. It should have been sold and the money given to the poor.’ Not that he cared for the poor – he was a thief, and since he was in charge of the disciples’ money, he often stole some for himself.” John 12:4-6

Wow. I guess Judas’ story should cause us to reflect. He walked with Jesus in the flesh and still didn’t get it. He was more concerned with what knowing Jesus could do for him rather than a spiritual transformation. Our focus should always be on the latter to avoid the temporary and shallowness of the former.

I’ve always found it hard to believe God would put a thief in charge of the money bag. Amazing, right?! I’m sure when we started pastoring, some people probably just shook their heads, wondering what God was thinking. I must admit, I felt that way myself sometimes. I mean, there were plenty of fine folks out there with better backgrounds that could do the job, why us? Through the years, I’ve learned that God looks deeper, He sees the untapped potential, He gives opportunity. We all have to choose which path we will take. Will we seek God’s hand or His heart? Will we go below the surface to truly know Him, or will we skim the top for surface blessings?

God has chosen you for the unique gift you are to His Body. You bring something to the table and have a specific group of people that only you can reach. Step to and get busy. And, if you are a thief, I have a scripture for you, “If you are a thief, quit stealing. Instead, use your hands for good hard work, and then give generously to others in need.” Ephesians 4:28 NLT

PRAYER: Lord, forgive me for slacking. I want to fulfill my potential and bless You and Your people in the best way possible. Teach me to not cling to the “money bag” of things that will only benefit me here but rather the spiritual truths and disciplines that will carry into eternity. 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!
