I Kings 11:1-12:19; Acts 9:1-25; Psalm 131:1-3; Proverbs 17:4-5

“Then Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing. So they took him by the hand and led him to Damascus. He was unable to see for three days, and did not eat or drink. Now in Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, ‘Ananias!’ ‘Here I am, Lord!’ he said. ‘Get up and go to the street called Straight,’ the Lord said to him, ‘to the house of Judas, and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, since he is praying there.” (Acts 9:8-11)

“‘Lord,’ Ananias answered, ‘I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. And he has authority here from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.’ But the Lord said to him, ‘Go! For this man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before Gentiles, kings, and the sons of Israel.'” (9:13-15)

We Christians are taking the day to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Why? What is so special about Jesus? I’ll tell you, Jesus is so incredible because He is hope for the hopeless and a compass for those who are lost.

When I read the scriptures concerning Saul I think to myself, “WOW, that’s one hard brother!” I mean he felt like he was doing God a favor persecuting Christians. At one time I wouldn’t have given big odds for a person like Saul becoming born again. Admit it, folks like that can be intimidating. He was a religious intellectual, and hopeless.

First off, our tendency is to think that someone who has attacked others would not be on top of God’s list of people with potential. “Surely God is going to strike him dead for what’s he’s done!” Secondly, some people seem so set in their ways and beliefs that we wonder if God has the power to break through. C’mon, really. God is God and He is bad to the bone. If He puts someone on the street called Straight consider it a done deal!

Seriously though, everyone has potential. Hard cases are God’s specialty.

PRAYER:

Lord, help me to see people through Your eyes. Help me to remember that as long as a person is breathing there is always hope. I ask You for encouragement to continue to pray for the “hard cases.” 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!
