Genesis 16-18:15; Matthew 6:1-24; Psalm 7; Proverbs 2:1-5

Jesus is teaching us to never act like we’re something we’re not. Listen to His teaching on giving and prayer:

“Do not your alms giving before men to be seen of them. Otherwise, you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:1)

“And when you pray do not be as the hypocrites are. For they love to pray standing in the church and on the street corners that they may be seen of men. But when you pray enter into your closet and when you’ve shut the door pray to your Father which is in secret and your Father which sees in secret will reward you openly.” (Matthew 6:5-6)

Jesus is teaching us to not play church. Hypocrite’s actions reveal that on some level they don’t really believe. It’s a lack of intimacy with God. A lack of awareness of God’s presence. If we aren’t careful, we can find ourselves in this position. What can happen is that we get so caught up in day-to-day life that we lose sight of God. Church becomes a social fantasy. We start to give to be seen of men. We start to pray to be seen of men. This is a very dangerous place to be. When we give, it is to glorify God. When we pray, it is to meet with God and to have Him live through us. We become one with God.

Before we start our day, before we do anything, let’s touch base with Holy Spirit and keep our relationship fresh. This will prevent us from slipping into the mask of the hypocrite.

PRAYER:

God I choose to live my life for one reason and that is to bring You glory. I ask You to speak to my heart every day so that everything I do is inspired by You. Help me to keep my eyes on You. I bless You Lord with all my heart. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord. 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!
