Great ideas develop from collaboration not through privatization. Remember, victory may be found in an abundance of counselors (Prov 24:6), not a lone ranger. Counselors (plural) are able to provide healthy guidance to a people (Prov 11:14).
Great ideas develop in community not isolation.
Great ideas are developed by an iterative process–thinking of them, talking about them, checking them against the Word, chewing on them, praying about them, re-thinking, re-talking, re-checking, re-chewing, re-praying.
Ideas, apart from the mind of God, are worthless in reaching the 4 billion (John 15:5). And if no one comprehends the mind of God except of the Spirit of God (1 Cor 2:11), then the first great idea is to walk in step with the Spirit we have received (1 Cor 2:12).
