Mahatma Gandhi once said, “freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” Freedom is your birthright! Freedom to live, dream, grow, freedom.   Notice Gandhi did not say sin.   Unfortunately, the truth is most are afraid of freedom. Oh, I’m sure you say that’s not me.  Well perhaps it is a bit in all of us.  Proverbs 26:11 says,


As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.


Really? Perhaps you only see this as someone that has only had an addiction.  But a life or routine without faith lacks freedom.  A fool in bible days emphasizes the absence of God.  How often do we leave God out of our affairs?  Whether we’re going shopping, doctor’s office, school, or out for fun, do we invite God into the adventure? God is unleashing new methodologies, creativity, we in turn MUST release old habits.  Win the lottery, not if you never play.....

In D.C., this past weekend the itinerary schedule slated us for the African Museum.  God has a way of wrecking our plans for the better.  Eventually in the huddle our itinerary shifted our caravan to the National Mall.  During our visit we were able to share the Lord in various ways with two ladies from New Zealand and a family from Michigan. Granted we may only see them again in Heaven only God orchestrated our encounter that day.  Prov 16:9 says,

We should make plans—counting on God to direct us.

Many think about, talk about, but the bible says we walk by faith, not talk by faith.  Have you ventured to explore avenues to your dream, business, health?  Talk is cheap, walk is expensive, but the dividends are marvelous darling! Do you have the basic wake up, get kids ready, drop off, head to work, pick kids up, cook dinner, just to repeat again the next 51 weeks?  My friend that is like a dog returning to vomit.  Stability is great freedom is your birthright.  Freedom to trust God to intertwine the dream within your daily routine.  If we never make plans, we cannot count on God to direct us.

All my life I desired to produce a saxophone CD.  Finally, encountered people gifted and talented to fulfill that.  Small steps combined make great things happen! From that first album we now are compiling the third.  If I continued to talk, instead of walk the album would still be a thought.  

My friend God purchased your FREEDOM at Calvary and planted dreams, businesses, books, paintings, on the inside.  Most never escape bondage because they cannot handle freedom.  Freedom to go off script, be the first, or sound silly.  God told me to purchase a home, three years ago, I prayed for a year, began looking after six months, and God miraculous furnished finances for downpayment, etc.,  God is ready to place the downpayment, but we have to make plans.

My friend I challenge you, if it’s looking for a college to attend, researching how to write a best-seller, or open up a restaurant…"Don't expect average thinking people to understand above average dreams," write the plan. God is ready to BREAKTHROUGH when we BREAKOUT!
