How to Faith Goals

How to Faith Goals

Summary

Have you ever received a clear prompting from God—maybe to start a business, heal a relationship, or launch a ministry—and immediately felt a wave of panic? Most of us shut down when the vision is bigger than our current capacity. In this practical episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson and advisory board member Amy Johnson answer the question: How to achieve faith goals when you have no idea where to start.

We move from spiritual paralysis to empowered process by sharing a toolkit of "Warrior Hacks." Amy shares the "National Geographic Zoom" analogy, explaining why God only shows us a tiny texture of the map at a time (because if we saw the whole picture, we’d run!). We discuss the 42% Rule—why writing your goal down drastically increases your success rate—and share creative, "redneck" ways to keep your goals visible, from packing tape in the shower to lock screens. Finally, we tackle the "Dam Principle"—understanding that the adversary wants to damn (stop) your progress—and give you a specific protocol to cast out darkness when all hell breaks loose. Tune in to turn your massive download into manageable steps!

Episode Takeaways

1. Capture the Download: God’s inspiration often comes as a heavy weight in our minds. whether you are a writer or a talker, you must get it out of your head and into the physical world to process it.
2. The "Zoom" Analogy: Like those zoomed-in photos in National Geographic, God usually only shows us a tiny piece of the texture. If He showed us the full picture (the "forest"), we would be overwhelmed. Our job is to focus on the zoomed-in step, not the whole map.
3. The 42% Rule: You are 42% more likely to achieve a goal simply by writing it down. Use visual anchors like sticky notes on mirrors or phone lock screens to keep the vision in front of your face.
4. The "Dam" Principle: The word "damn" means to stop progress (like a river dam). Satan is damned (stopped), so he wants to stop your progress too. When resistance hits, it’s not a sign to quit; it’s a sign to use spiritual warfare to cast out the adversary.

Reflection Questions

1. Think of a goal God has given you. If you are honest, are you trying to look at the "whole map" instead of the "zoomed-in" step?
2. How do you best process revelation? Are you a writer (journaling) or a talker (verbal processing)? Are you making space for that method?
3. Have you experienced the "Dam Principle"—where everything goes wrong just as you start to make progress? How does realizing this is an enemy tactic
