II Samuel 14:1-15:22, John 18:1-24, Psalm 119:97-112, Proverbs 16:8-9

“Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the High Priest’s servant. But Jesus said to Peter, ‘Put your sword away. Shall I not drink from the cup the Father has given Me?’ So, the Jewish police, with the soldiers and their lieutenant, arrested Jesus and tied Him. First, they took Him to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas the High Priest that year. Caiaphas was the one who told the other Jewish leaders, ‘Better that one should die for all.'” John 18:10-14

Let’s look at two items in the above scripture. I want to highlight where we see Peter wanting to protect Jesus. Jesus tells Peter not to bother because he cannot save Jesus for the purpose in which He came. We are guaranteed hardships in life and some of these hardships will occur in the line of our call. They serve many purposes and Jesus is reminding us not to flinch but to embrace the call and everything that goes with it.

Notice a little further down as Caiaphas relates that “it is better that one man die for all” or you could say in place of everyone. It was actually prophetic even though he didn’t realize what he was saying. He was thinking in terms of a natural situation where if Jesus dies then things will calm down and the deaths of many will be prevented. On a deeper level, the Word states that the wages, or payment, for sin is death. Jesus was literally dying for all people in order to pay the sin debt we all owe so we would not have to pay the price ourselves with our lives. So, it was better that one man should die for all. I am grateful for what Jesus did, how about you?

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for not backing up in a scary, painful situation. If You had not followed through for us, I just hate to think of where we’d be. Again, thank You so much. I am eternally grateful. I do not want to take for granted or refuse the precious gift You provided. I apply Your sacrifice to my life and thank You that I am washed cleaned by the blood You shed. Thank You for shortening Your life for me. Also, thank You for showing me that I cannot fight a spiritual war with a physical solution. Love You Jesus, in Your 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!
