The Inspiration

In 2014 at a Women with Mission and Purpose Conference (WWMP), the late Bishop Gerald O. Glenn was preaching for our final session. I have no idea what he said about the disciples, but I clearly heard from the Holy Spirit, “The Disciple Monologues”. Seconds later, “That is the name of your next project,” (or play, I’m unsure). Sitting in the back with the Anointed Movements of Deliverance praise dancers, I turned behind me to Christine Bates and a little too excitedly told her what I had just heard. I knew she would indulge my enthusiasm. I hurriedly wrote the name on my Women’s Conference pad so that I wouldn’t forget. As I was telling her the revelation, the ideas about what it was going to be started pouring out of my mouth as they were being “downloaded” to my head. I had to stop because I didn’t want to be disruptive to the service, but boy, I don’t think I heard another word that session from Bishop.

As tired as I was, I started writing down who the Disciples were going to be. I knew Peter was number one on my list!

Today, as I was cleaning up my pc, I found the original outline written in 2015, which has my original twelve disciples in the list.

Looking at the character outlines, I didn’t stray far from the original ideas, but the stories were more informational than inspirational.

Peter was Jesus’ “Ride or Die” disciple. Talitha’s story is the same. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus were to tell the story of the conflict of the Council of the Sanhedrin; Nicodemus’ story concept remained the same. Mary & Martha were a duo. There were to be four blind men. Mary Magdalene’s story is the same. Brother James was to chronicle his Brother Jesus’ life, and Mother Mary was to discuss the Virgin Birth. Judas, noosed, was to commit suicide on set. Adam’s basic story remains the same.
