The Open Door of Deliverance

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. — Isaiah 55:8

2 Corinthians 3:17 – "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

I found myself standing at the threshold of judgment, surrounded by others marked for correction. We waited on the steps, uncertain, not yet clothed in the garments of captivity. It was a moment suspended between fear and hope—a place where God’s mercy still lingered.

Then, I saw it—an open door. The opportunity to run toward freedom. Without hesitation, I bolted, heart pounding with urgency and faith. Others followed my lead, trusting the path I saw but could not fully understand. I vaulted effortlessly over fences that once seemed insurmountable.

Amid chaos—a tangled yard of broken things and obstacles—I learned to navigate in silence and stealth. God’s protection was tangible as I crawled beneath and slipped past danger unnoticed. Even when confronted by a watchful eye, grace found a way.

John 8:36 – "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

I led my companions to a place that felt familiar, a neighborhood full of quiet refuge. There, I found a small child named Edyn, a symbol of innocence and new beginnings. Holding her in my arms, I was reminded that joy and purity can be shields in times of trial. The enemy’s pursuit faltered as he saw not a fugitive, but a caretaker filled with peace.

This dream is a reminder that though we may not understand what God is doing, His thoughts and ways are higher than ours. He often leads us through seasons of discipline and testing—not to condemn us, but to bring us into freedom.

When judgment looms, He sets before us open doors—ways of escape that only faith can perceive. When fear surrounds you, run toward God’s open door. Trust that He will lead you over fences, through chaos, and into safety.

And in moments of vulnerability, remember the child within you—the promise of new life, laughter, and hope. Let God’s joy be your refuge and your cover.

Psalm 119:45 – "I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts."

Prayer: Lord, Your ways and thoughts are far beyond mine. Help me to trust Your higher purpose when I cannot see the way. Lead me through every test and deliver me with Your mighty hand. Fill me with Your peace and joy that shield me in every storm. Amen.

Romans 8:2 – "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death."
