pg. 6 – “I vividly recall one of my fateful trips to a Pathmark grocery store in Harlem. I scoured the aisles searching for discounts and was elated to stumble upon a supersale on canned vegetables.”
pg. 7 – “I wobbled through the streets for blocks and blocks, clutching the heavy plastic bags filled with my discounted delights.”
pg. 7 – “…the plastic bags I’d held on to so tightly for over an hour broke, surrendering under the pressure of the canned goods, and they scattered in every direction, taunting me as they rolled out of sight.”
pg. 8 – “In that moment, all I could do was stand in the middle of the street and cry. THIS CANNOT BE MY LIFE!”
pg. 10 – “I absolutely adored Oprah. I had a huge dream of meeting her one day. In fact, Oprah’s bright and beautiful face was on my own vision board.”
pg. 10 – “When I was sixteen years old, I began experiencing supernatural encounters that my family and I didn’t know how to explain. God began showing me vivid signs, visions, and revelations of things to come. I’d receive deep spiritual impressions and flashes into the future, and I was always shocked when I would see things unfold exactly the way God had shown me.”
pg. 10 – “But God’s voice rang so loudly in my spirit, and the messages became so clear that I’d know with absolute certainty that it was him. Over time my supernatural encounters heightened to the point that strangers started approaching me in the most unexpected places: on bustling sidewalks, during late-night taxicab rides, and in nightclubs, hotels, public parks, and even nursing homes, prophesying what was to come next in my life. People I’d never met before would grab my hand and fortell major events that would soon take place.”
pg.10 – “It became abundantly clear that the events of my life were not solely within my control; I had been called for a greater purpose.”
pg. 10 – “The prophecies almost always described a life that was the complete opposite of my present circumstances.”
pg. 11 – “I began journaling incessantly, writing these words down, praying about them, dreaming about them, envisioning them, and hiding them inside my heart. In a few years, I filled over twenty-five journals with insights, prayers, and revelations. The prophetic words these strangers uttered uplifted and encouraged me, and made me feel that perhaps God hadn’t forgotten about me after all.”
pg. 11 – “In some ways I felt helpless because I had zero idea how or when any of these things would actually manifest.”
pg. 11 – “I kept asking God to increase my faith and help me live to see the manifestations of all his promises. I asked for the Lord’s strength to persevere beyond my personal struggles, my professional rejections, my financial difficulties, and my feelings of loneliness. I asked God to help me see and believe the vision He had for my life and help me to stay encouraged long enough to prepare for it and run toward it.”
pg. 17 – “My heart was full of dreams, vision, and goals, but I finally realized that I simply could not manifest the promises God had for my life on my own. It was a holy partnership subject to God’s divine timing. I had to surrender to the process He called me to, even if I didn’t like it or how long it would take. I released the reins of my life and gave control back to God.”
pg. 17 – “I finally understood that my God Dream flowed from Him and would be manifested by Him, the true author of my story.”
pg. 17 – “Being a star is not just about wealth and fame. It’s about shining as a bright beacon of light in the midst of darkness and leveraging your influence – however large or small – to illuminate the path for others to follow. With this revelation, I poured my heart into serving others.”

pg. 25 – “Like my journey from Harlem to Hollywood, God is behind the scenes crafting your divine story of miraculous manifestation, where your painful tests will become a glorious testimony for all the world to see.”
pg. 26 – “Just like in America’s Next Top Model, when God wants to bring new ideas, answers, and breakthroughs into the world, He elevates ordinary individuals to places of extraordinary influence, positioning them as bright new stars for impactful, global change. Instead of getting them ready with makeup and fancy clothes, God is behind the scenes shaping their hearts, vision, character, and purpose for the auspicious moment of their grand unveiling. His stars’ stages are set by refining their gifts, cultivating their talents, clarifying their callings, igniting their visions, deepening their spiritual lives, and strengthening their courage. And when it’s time, it’s time. …they explode as the world’s new stars… And I believe that you, my friend, are one of those stars.”
pg. 27 – “But I’m here to tell you that you, too, are a star. Well, listen. I didn’t feel like a star either. I was just a girl with a dream, trying to follow God. But when my camera suddenly snapped that prescient picture all by itself – FROM HARLEM TO HOLLYWOOD. YOU’RE A STAR. CONGRATULATIONS!!! – it kinda changed things.”
pg. 28 – “In one year’s time Esther soared from a life of lack to one of unspeakable abundance and was exalted to heights she could only have dreamed of. Talk about manifestation!”
pg. 29 – “So in that breathtaking moment in the souvenir shop when I encountered the glowing Esther star key chain, followed by my camera suddenly capturing this augural sign – FROM HARLEM TO HOLLYWOOD. YOU’RE A STAR. CONGRATULATIONS!!! – a wave of emotions washed over me. I was utterly astonished by the miraculous nature of all, and how in one supernatural moment, the Lord brought everything full circle that He’s shown me in my years of waiting. I felt enveloped by such a profound sense of love. This sign gently affirmed that God saw me. He knew me. He called me. And He had been walking alongside me during every step of my journey, even when, in my discouragement, I wondered if He was even there. The prophetic message on that billboard meant much more to me than the idea of becoming rich and famous in Hollywood. It confirmed that I had been walking in my purpose the whole time.”

pg. 37 – “As I Peter 4:10 encourages, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms (NIV).”
pg. 37 – “Matthew 5:14-16 sums this up perfectly: ‘You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (NIV)”
pg. 38 – “No matter how small or insignificant you might feel at times along your journey, one key ingredient in manifesting your God Dream is believing you are worthy of it.”
pg. 38 – “One way to do this is to pray and speak forth the positive qualities you see – or desire to see – in others on a regular basis.”
pg. 39 – “For years I wondered why I received so many prophecies for myself and others, and then it hit me: God wants us to fully internalize and embrace these new truths and allow them to replace our old, limiting beliefs once and for all. Prophetic words and affirmations help others believe new truths about their lives and futures, and they almost always speak to a version themselves that is higher than their current reality.”
pg. 40 – “When you operate in your star power without holding back, abundant space in this world supernaturally opens for you. When you’re in alignment with your divine calling, God makes sure that you have the open doors, access, and resources to do exactly what He has called you to do. You will not have to push or claw your way into manifesting His dream for your life or convince someone else to choose you. You are already chosen.”
pg. 40 – “I can still remember the moment I met Tyler in 2011. A year and a half prior, a stranger in Texas had prophesied to me that I would work with him one day and film at his massive studio in Atlanta.”
pg. 43 – “No matter where you are or what obstacles you face, your light can blaze a trail, inspiring others to find their own brilliance.”
pg. 46 – “Among all the practices related to manifesting dreams, visualization is probably one of my favorites. God’s desire is not for you to feel trapped or disheartened about your life and current circumstances but instead to feel inspired, energized, and excited about what lies ahead.”
pg. 47 – “When you visualize a dream or desired experience, your brain doesn’t differentiate between the imagined experience and reality. Neuroimaging studies have shown that the same neural pathways are activated during visualization as they are during actual experiences. How divine is that? So, if you visualize yourself buying a fabulous new home or marrying the spouse of your dreams – portions of your brain light up as if it were actually happening.”
pg. 48 – “Arnold Schwarzenegger… He would visualize winning competitions and achieving success long before it manifested.”

pg. 50 – “You see, vision is both natural and supernatural, practical and prophetic.”
pg. 51 – “Then there’s supernatural vision, which is spiritual, internal, intangible, and often prophetic. This spiritual vision is activated through the lens of faith and vividly imagines and foreshadows a reality that others may not see.”
pg. 51 – “God is writing a beautiful story through each of our lives, and like a spiritual adventure, He often uses the gift of spiritual sight to help us discover what it is. I used to think I had to have all the answers and know exactly how my vision was going to manifest before fully allowing myself to dream it. But by releasing myself to dream, it stirred a childlike faith deep in my soul, which stimulated me to believe that a joyous, prosperous, fulfilling, and abundant life was even possible.”
pg. 52 – “For most of us imagining the best possible outcome for our lives doesn’t come naturally because we’re so accustomed to shielding ourselves from discouragement by not setting our hopes too high.”
pg. 53 – “I’d gotten to the point where I’d spent so much time teaching my students about visualization that I had not actively applied any of the principles myself. I wondered what would happen if I started dreaming the way I encouraged them to. I headed to Marshall’s and bought a fresh new lilac-and-green notebook. I journaled an astonishing fifty years of vision. I broke free of my fears and gave myself permission to unleash a vision of where I wanted to go and what I wanted to accomplish.”
pg. 53 – “I poured my soul onto those pages without judgement, casting aside the limits imposed by myself-doubt and insecurities. I pushed through my hidden fears that these dreams might never come true and, instead, set my imagination free to dream without boundaries. Every aspiration I could possibly envision by that point filled the pages of that book.”
pg. 53 – “While performing there, I amassed an embarrassingly huge collection of magazines, scissors, glue, and felt-tip pens, which filled the markup table in my dressing room. I was already on a roll after crafting my goals book, so I got even fancier and created a companion vision book. I filled the book with images, affirmations, dreams, and even dates, which has been an aspirational guide for my life. Some people make a vision board, but I couldn’t stop there. I crafted a vision book.”
pg. 54 – “As Oprah has so powerfully shared, “Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life because you become what you believe.”
pg. 54 – “To start, choose a large-size unlined journal or notebook that visually compels you -whether it’s your favorite color, a texture you love, or a beautiful design.”
pg. 54 – “Light a candle or turn on music that inspires you. As you open the pages, take time to worship and pray. Ask God to show you glimpses into His grand story for your life. Implore Him to reveal to you the God Dream that He envisioned just for you.”
pg. 54 – “Like a dear friend or loved one, the more intimate time you spend with God, the more you’ll be able to detect his voice. Next, tap into the deepest desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4). Acknowledge what you truly desire in life. What are your deepest hopes and passions? What accomplishments would bring you the most joy? Write down everything that comes to mind. This is your opportunity to dream boldly and authentically, no matter how big or small.”
pg. 54 – “Once you’ve poured your prayers, thoughts, and visions onto the pages, it’s time to find visual representations of what you are seeking and believing. Enhance the pages of your book with vivid magazine clippings, printed images, and inspirational quotes that resonate with your prayers, dreams, and goals.”
pg. 55 – “You never know what signs and images God is using to get your attention.”
pg. 55 – “I created a new page in my vision book dedicated to marriage. I flipped through a magazine and felt drawn to an image of a light, brown-skinned African American man with a bald head, dressed in a cozy white T-shirt. He was lying peacefully on a bed, cradling a sleeping baby wearing a light-colored onesie on his chest. I felt a surge of emotion when I saw it and placed it into my vision book.”
pg. 55 – “There was my husband – a light, brown-skinned African American man with a bald head, dressed in a cozy white T-shirt, lying down, cradling our sleeping newborn wearing a light-colored cotton onesie on his chest. I nearly fainted!”
pg. 56 – “That moving experience showed me that when you are inspired by the spirt of God, even vision boards can hold prophetic significance.”
pg. 56 – “As you complete your vision book, take a moment to reflect on the journey. This book is not just a collection of dreams; it’s a profound reminder of the power of God. Keep it somewhere visible – perhaps on your desk or nightstand – so you can revisit it regularly.”
pg. 57 – “Consider adding new elements over time, such as updates on your progress, answered prayers, manifested dreams, or new visions that arise. Your vision book will evolve with you, serving as a compass that guides you toward your aspirations and inspires your path in ways you might have never imagined. Embrace this creative process, and watch as your dreams begin to unfold before your eyes.”
pg. 58 – “Whatever you can possibly conceive of or imagine, God can do more (Ephesians 3:20).”
pg. 59 – “I’m going to take you on a vision adventure. I can’t drive you around Cali in a dreamy convertible, but I can show you how to stimulate your own big, bright vision, using all of your senses, and get you excited about what’s to come.”
pg. 59 – “The only prerequisite of this exercise is removing the limit of how. This exercise is not meant to be practical or what you might consider realistic. I want you to break fully out of the box of limitations and considerations of what’s possible and, by faith, fully enter the realm where all things as possible.”
pg. 59 – “This is the place from which I want you to live and dream and imagine in this moment. You can come back to reality later. Your current life will be right here waiting for you. For now, allow yourself to dream, just like you did when you were a child, without ever giving a second thought on how it might come to pass. If you experience thoughts that lead you to question yourself, press past them. This is your time to explore. No one’s watching or judging you. This exercise is for you and you alone.”
pg. 59 – “Whatever you’ve seen for your future self, write it down. Allow yourself to wholeheartedly envision what life would be like if those words and visions came true.”
pg. 60 – “…find all the ways you can to immerse yourself in environments that reflect your aspirations. Take some time out of your schedule and position yourself in places where you can literally taste, feel, see, and observe your vision coming to life. Let these experiences stimulate your senses and imagination, allowing you to vividly envision yourself already in possession of it.”
pg. 60 – “Remove all self-imposed limitations and hold tight to an unwavering faith that your prayers can manifest into reality.”
pg. 60 – “If you want to lose weight, place images of people at your ideal body weight and physique in front of you.”
pg. 61 – “As active participants in God’s design, it is essential to combine faith with action, believing in His vision for your life and actively working toward its manifestation.”
pg. 61 – “As you continue to unleash your vision and manifest the highest expression of who you can be, remember that this journey is not just for you; it is for the world.

pg. 65 – “While it hurt to be rejected, my agency letting me go became a major turning point in the new season of my journey. It freed me from their limiting expectations and beliefs that I had internalized for years. It gave me an even stronger determination to manifest all of what God promised me and finally give God room to write another story.”

pg. 69 – “I still see my mom, Rose, who passed away from cancer, carrying so many dreams, goals, and visions inside her.”

pg. 71 – “With my mom’s dreams in my heart, I called in a favor and asked the executives at Tyler Perry Studios to help me plan a surprise trip to Atlanta for my mom. But one day before my mom and I were set to fly to the studios, she passed away. No one knows how much time we have left on this earth, and we can’t afford to live with buried talents and dreams deferred. Don’t wait for the perfect time or perfect circumstances to do what is in your heart. Don’t allow discouragement, self-doubt, or even shame to silence you or hold you back from claiming the fullness God has for your life.”
pg. 72 – “DeVon went on to say, “A lot of times that voice in your head is your worst enemy. It tries to talk us out of what God is trying to talk us into.”
pg. 73 – “Instead of letting our failures or setbacks define us, what if we saw them as part of our journey to be embraced?”
pg. 74 – “Viola shared how she was yearning for guidance. ‘That whole in-between is what you have to figure out,’ she explained. The absence of someone to show her the way made everything feel so much more daunting. Even as a young girl drowning in poverty and shame, the world was waiting for her.”
pg. 75 – “No matter how successful or confident any of us seem, we all deal with insecurities and fear; it’s a natural part of being human. What matters most is how we respond to that fear.”

But I had no earthly clue what to do with that word or how it was going to manifest. Was I supposed to take my entire life’s savings and buy a one-way plane ticket to La-La-Land?”
pg. 81 – “As I began winding down for bed, I heard God tell me to leave my apartment and go to a Bible study in Manhattan. Then suddenly I encountered a woman there whom I felt led to pray for. To my surprise, when she said her name, I immediately recognized it. I stopped dead in my tracks. ‘Wait a minute. Are you a writer?’ I asked. She smiled and politely nodded. Then I named an amazing new show that I’d been reading about and asked her if she was the creator of that show. ‘Yes’, the woman said kindly. I could hardly believe it! I had been doing everything possible for three straight months to get an audition for her show. I had felt so strongly that I was supposed to be in that production. ‘Oh, I’ll change that,’ the woman said. And as promised, she set up an opportunity for me to audition for the show, and within weeks, I was cast in the leading role, and that was the show that brought me to Hollywood.”

pg. 87 – “Miraculously, within seven days, I found myself at a dinner with Oprah.”

Being able to let go of your own plans to follow His blueprint, even if it means waiting longer or following the road less traveled, can actually lead to massive success. A major benefit of positioning yourself to hear God’s voice is the promise of receiving divine direction.”
pg. 89 – “Supernatural manifestation is ultimately a divine partnership with God, wherein we hear His voice, understand His will, and labor with Him to bring His will to pass on earth as it is in heaven.”
