Miracle Moment

Genesis 41:17-42:17; Matthew 13:24-46; Psalm 18:1-15; Proverbs 4:1-6

“And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: ‘For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.’ And the name of the second he called Ephraim: ‘For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.” (Genesis 41:50-52)

I think we can all agree that Joseph is an authority on hard times, having been sold by his brothers into slavery, sold again, then falsely accused and imprisoned for probably 10-12 years of his young life. My goodness! Through all of those years Joseph held tight to his integrity and belief in God. At the end of those extremely hard years he begins to walk in the blessing. Not only is he elevated to number two man in the land, but he’s given a wife who bears him two boys. As we see from the above scripture, his boys’ names have significance pertaining to Joseph’s life. They declare where he’s been and where he is currently.

No matter what we go through in life, if we will just hold fast to the unchanging hand of God then everything will be alright. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, things will change and yes, the glass is half full! When God breaks through with the blessing you too will “forget all of the toil” you’ve experienced and God will take the thing you feared the most, the worst thing in the world that happened to you and use it to cause you to be “fruitful” in the land of your affliction.

PRAYER:

Lord, guide me as I walk through these land mines that I am facing. The enemy wants to defeat me but I call on You for strength. I refuse to give in to negativity and fear. My heart does safely trust in You. I believe that one day I will see the purpose in my pain and it will serve a role in shaping me, maybe even enabling me to help multitudes of people. Until that time, keep me Lord. 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!
