Dear Bright Star and St. James Family,
I pray you enjoyed a great holiday weekend and that your Memorial Day was restful, refreshing, and rejuvenating. I also pray you had time to reflect, rest, and be grateful. Now it is time to put in the work. We are beginning our Ideas & Vision Week journey, which will be a two-week, ten-day focus, Monday through Friday for two weeks, designed to help us hear from God, write the vision, clarify our ideas, create a simple plan, and take real steps of obedience.
The PowerPoint on this page below is not just something to look at; it is a tool to help you work through what God has placed inside of you. Please use it daily. It includes:
A clear overview of Ideas & Vision Week and why this journey matters.
Anchor scriptures to help you pray, think, focus, and plan.
A 10-day roadmap that walks us from surrender to accountability.
A Participant Focus Covenant to help you protect your time, spirit, and attention.
Daily guidance for Days 1-4 on surrendering, expecting, listening, and writing.
Expanded teaching and activation slides for Days 5-10, including clarity, focus, discernment, planning, obedience, and accountability.
A Vision Plan Canvas to help you put your God-given idea into a clear written format.
A Daily Productivity Checklist to help you stay focused and practical.
A closing declaration to help you speak faith, commitment, and obedience over what God is birthing in you.
The Word tells us, “Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 2:2. That means vision must move from your heart to your hand. It must be written. It must be made plain. It must be clear enough to pray over, share, plan, and obey.
Dr. Myles Munroe, my mentor since I was 17 years old, taught us that the graveyard is the wealthiest place in the world because so many people have taken great ideas, dreams, books, businesses, ministries, inventions, solutions, and assignments to the grave with them. God’s plan is that we die empty because we took the time, discipline, faith, and courage to manifest in the earth all the wonderful ideas He planted inside of us. But we must also remember this: “Faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:17.
So, this journey is not just about being inspired. It is about being obedient. It is about taking what God has placed in your spirit and putting structure, focus, planning, and work behind it. Each day, I am asking you to do a few practical things:
Set aside at least 20-30 minutes of quiet time to pray, listen, think, and write.
Open the PowerPoint and follow the focus for that day.
Read the scripture connected to the day’s theme.
Write down what God is showing you.
Complete the activation questions or prompts.
Take one practical step toward clarity, planning, or action.
Share your progress with someone who can pray with you and hold you accountable.
The Bible says, “Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.” Proverbs 16:3. It also says, “The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness.” Proverbs 21:5. God honors prayer, but He also honors diligence, planning, discipline, and obedience.
I also want you to think about the people you love. Who do you know who has a great idea, a dream, a burden, a book, a business, a ministry, a creative gift, or a solution inside of them? Encourage them to join this journey with you. Do not let them sit on what God gave them. Sometimes the encouragement you give someone else can be the push they need to finally write the vision and move forward.
This is also a form of what we call Intentional Evangelism, inviting people intentionally, personally, and prayerfully into spaces where they can grow, be challenged, and move closer to God’s purpose for their lives.
Also, please don’t forget to join our PCH 6AM Prayer Zoom every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, where I am providing more teaching on how to manifest your God-given ideas and visions.

Family, God has placed too much inside of us for us to be casual, distracted, delayed, or afraid. The world needs what God has put in you. Our communities need it. Our churches need it. Our families need it. The next generation needs it. “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.” Ecclesiastes 9:10
Let’s pray. Let’s write. Let’s plan. Let’s obey. Let’s build. Let’s manifest what God has placed inside of us. Let’s Get To WORK!!!
