Genesis 32:13-34:31; Matthew 11:7-30; Psalm 14:1-7; Proverbs 3:19-20

“Come unto Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)

In old farming days two oxen would be harnessed together with a wooden yoke. The farmers would pair an older animal with a younger so the older could bear the weight while teaching the younger how to work. Jesus asks us to join Him in the yoke. If things are too heavy, if we find that we’ve gotten overwhelmed it’s time to stop pulling the plow by ourselves. If we call ourselves following Jesus yet feel like giving up because our Christianity is just too much, then we need to slow down and get back to square one. Somewhere down the line we lost our pulling partner Jesus, we’ve replaced grace with law and service with works.

Jesus invites us to come to Him and He will relieve our burden. Instead of making things worse by weighing us down with additional rules and regulations, He wants to teach us how to walk in His rest, in His peace. Sometimes we get saved and in the process of setting the world on fire we begin to burn ourselves. Before we disintegrate we must reevaluate where we are and how we can get Jesus back in the race with us. Many times we start out strong but somehow we move to doing things in our own strength and knowledge which causes unnecessary pressure. We need His strength and guidance to pull through the challenges of life. So if things are overwhelming, it’s not Jesus’ yoke we are wearing any more. Repent, slow down, seek Him and listen to Him – STAY connected. Don’t leave the barn without Him!

PRAYER:

Lord, I thank You for teaching me to cast my care on You. I thank You that through Your Word I am learning that You have all things under control and since my steps are ordered by You I am safe under Your wing. Help me to stay connected to Jesus at all times. It’s 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!
