Exodus 5:22-7:25; Matthew 18:21-19:12; Psalm 23:1-6; Proverbs 5:22-23

“Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.'” (Matthew 18:21-27)

Can you identify? I know I can. I probably apologize to the Lord every day for something I just did or for things that I still feel bad about from the past. I’m so grateful that the Lord is so merciful, I know I owe Him more than I could ever repay. His Word says that He is faithful to forgive our sins and to cast them as far as the east is to the west. (Psalm 103:12) Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts. (I John 3:20) If we will just acknowledge our wrong, God promptly forgives and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. (I John 1:9) I don’t know about you but I am dependent on His Word. I cling to it and put all my faith in it.

In the next few verses, it finishes the story of the man who had been forgiven. It shows him going back and finding a fella that owed him. It was way less than what he had been forgiven, yet he had no compassion on his debtor and had him thrown in jail.

Why is it then, with all of this knowledge, we still struggle with forgiving and letting go of bad feelings brought about by people we believe have hurt or offended us. I mean, let’s think about ourselves. How many times have you asked the Lord to forgive you? How many times have you asked to be forgiven for the same thing? Then is it fair to withhold forgiveness from someone else when they ask. Annoying isn’t it. Like the character in the story we are far more gracious with ourselves than we are with others. How does God look at this though?

“And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” (18:34-35)

No one’s saying you have to be a doormat, but you must forgive and let go. And I mean really forgive and move on, not just say it and still harbor ill will in your heart. For that I think we need divine grace. Help us Jesus!

PRAYER:

Lord, please give me the revelation concerning forgiveness. I ask You to give me the grace You have so that I can not only forgive but let go of the offense, hurt and anger that I feel. Lord, I want to extend to others what I expect from You for myself. In the name of Jesus 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!
