II Samuel 13:1-39, John 17:1-26, Psalm 119:81-96, Proverbs 16:6-7

“When King David heard what had happened, he was very angry, but Absalom said nothing one way or the other about this to Amnon. However, he hated him with a deep hatred because of what he had done to his sister.” II Samuel 13:21-24a

Crisis resolution… A half-brother rapes his half-sister. Her full brother says nothing but plots revenge. Dad gets mad but does absolutely nothing to correct the situation. What could possibly go wrong. As we see in our reading today, a whole lot could go wrong. All of this could have been prevented had David stepped up and brought his family together. Had David brought his children to the table and gotten Amnon to marry Tamar it would have soothed the situation as far as Absalom and Tamar’s reputation and future. Folks, we can’t turn our head and play like there is nothing to see.

If we don’t deal with a crisis at the start, it will continue through the years and nothing good will come from it. David’s daughter was condemned to a house with no prospect for marriage and a family, Absalom killed Amnon and later tried to take David’s throne. Ultimately, Absalom lost his life as well do to the hatred for his brother and father that stemmed from the rape. When something comes up in your life, even if you don’t completely know what to do, at least bring the parties together and try to talk it out and work toward resolution. You’ll never regret it because even if it doesn’t work out, you can say that you gave it your best shot. And most likely it will help. You’d be surprised at how far an “I’m sorry” goes.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be bold enough to step up and help iron out tough situations. Help me to walk in forgiveness should I be the one in that position. Teach all people how to properly deal with conflict in their lives. I also pray for families everywhere, asking You to intervene and bring unity and love to them. Bind families tightly Lord, and help them to be there for one another. In Jesus’ name. 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!
