Genesis 23-24:51; Matthew 8:1-17; Psalm 9:13-20; Proverbs 3:1-6

One thing that I’ve learned in all my years of serving God is that He is faithful, I can trust Him with my life.

“Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not unto your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

I have learned to acknowledge Him in all my ways. By putting Him first I find that everything else falls into place. Over and over in my life God has allowed me to walk through all kinds of testing, trials and tribulations, hardships and adversities. In everything I have been through God has taught me that He is in control and everything is going to be alright. Today, if you have given your heart and life to Christ then you have entered into sonship and, as a covenant child, God promises He will never leave nor forsake you. He promises that though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we do not have to fear evil because He is with us.

God permits us to go through these hard things in order to teach us great lessons. When we look through history we have great examples of people of faith who chose to trust God and not “lean on their own understanding.” Look at Esther. When her people were faced with sure extinction she could have maintained her position of power and kept her mouth shut concerning her ethnicity. Honestly, self preservation is usually what comes to mind first. Being quiet made the most sense, however, Esther dug deep and decided to turn to God. She and her people declared a fast and a time of prayer. Through this God gave wisdom and favor to Esther that not only saved her but countless other Jewish lives.

How about Daniel, he was also in a hostile environment. There was a proclamation made that no one was to pray or pay honor to any god or any person except the king for 30 days. The first thought some may have had was, “Hey, I’ll just hide my worship for 30 days.” But not Daniel. As soon as he heard, it was almost as though he rushed to find the most open spot to be seen praying. He kneeled right in front of his window where he frequently prayed to God and sure ’nuff got busted. Instead of recanting, he took the punishment of a night in the lion’s den. God’s angels came and sat with him, holding shut the mouths of the lions. Daniel was led by God to make this stand and he chose to trust the Word in his heart that God gave him. This enabled the Lord to fulfill His plan. The king saw Daniel’s God was Lord and a proclamation was made that all would honor his God. How many were saved through Daniel’s act of obedience.

So you see through these people’s stories how important it is to know the Lord and to follow His prompting. Sometimes it may go against our very instinct but if we choose to be obedient we’ll be blessed for it. Even if they would have died making a stand, like the Apostle Stephen, the Lord would still get the glory and we would be honored for being submitted.

PRAYER:

Lord, I pray to lean on You more than on myself. I ask You to help me grow so that one day I will be totally dependent on You for direction and guidance. I love to watch Your plan unfold because You are so incredibly brilliant. So again, I ask You to help me to totally trust You, especially when it doesn’t make sense to my mind. I love You Lord, 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!
