Miracle Moment

Job 28:1-30:31, II Corinthians 2:12-17, Psalm 42:1-11, Proverbs 22:7

 

“Take courage my soul! Do you remember those times (but how could you ever forget them!) when you led a great procession to the Temple on festival days, singing with joy, praising the Lord? Why then be downcast? Why be discouraged and sad? Hope in God! I shall yet praise Him again. Yes, I shall again praise Him for His help. Yet I am standing here depressed and gloomy, but I will meditate upon Your kindness to this lovely land where the Jordan River flows and where Mount Hermon and Mount Mizar stand.” Psalm 42:4-6

 

I love it, this Psalmist isn’t going down without a fight. Even though depression is trying to overtake his life, he is holding onto hope. He’s doing some self-talk, “Take courage my soul, remember…” In encouraging himself, he is also remembering better days; he is meditating on the goodness of God. Our thought processes are what will pull us through when we feel overwhelmed. Connect your speech and thoughts to God’s faithfulness and His Word. Find scriptures that click with what you are going through and rehearse them until they become real to you. Don’t keep talking up your issue! Talk up your God! I’m not telling you to deny reality, I’m saying that the more we focus on our problem or depression, or whatever, that will be what is magnified. Tell yourself, “This isn’t great, but I trust the Lord will bring me through and I am going to continue to push through until I get my breakthrough!” The scripture also mentions worshiping and praying through the night. We have many keys to help us move forward. Praying for you!

 

PRAYER: Lord, my eyes are on You. Even when I am walking through deep waters and I may not feel You like I would like, I am going to continue to have faith and hope for better days. I know that You will come through. Nothing can separate me from Your love. You are for me and not against me. I worship You 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!
