Ezekiel 31:1-32:32, Hebrews 12:14-29, Psalm 113:1-114:8, Proverbs 27:18-20

“A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.” Proverbs 27:19

When I was a child, my dad used to monitor the people I wanted to hang out with. He’d say birds of a feather flock together. I’d tell him I didn’t do some of the things they did. He would in turn reply, if the law shows up, they aren’t asking who did what, they’ll take the whole lot in. Come to find out that’s the truth. And while you shouldn’t base your entire life on what other people think, we do need to give some consideration to who we surround ourselves with.

The Bible also says in I Corinthians 15:33, “Do not be deceived, bad company corrupts good character.” People will rub off on you and it’s typically the bad overcoming the good. Just think of the old adage, one bad apple ruins the barrel. Or how about this, you ever see a bad strawberry in the container. Well, if you don’t get that nasty one out away from the others, the whole container will be ruined. This is also a good lesson on looking a little deeper to gauge what type of people you’re dealing with.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to use wisdom and discernment with the folks I surround myself with. I understand my choices in this area are a reflection of myself and my values. Encircle me with people who will sharpen me and encourage my growth. Help me to do the same. In Jesus’ 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!
