What Does God Say About Dreams and Visions?

Summary

Do you have a vision tucked away in your heart but feel too scared to turn it into a concrete goal? You are not alone. In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson answers the question: What does God say about dreams and goals?

Tamara introduces the "Caleb Method"—a six-step biblical framework for courageously claiming the God-given dreams placed on your soul. Using the powerful story of Caleb and the twelve spies from Numbers chapter 13, we break down why looking at the giants in your life shouldn't stop you from claiming your mountain. We debunk the myth that goals must be set on January 1st, explore why you must ignore the "majority rule" of doubters, and reveal why specific biblical visions are often delayed but never denied. Whether you are 25 or 85, Acts 2:17 promises that God is pouring out visions in these last days. If you are ready to move from fear to faith and say, "Give me this mountain!" this episode will equip you with the courage and practical steps to walk from dream to reality.

Episode Takeaways

1. Look at the Opportunities (Not Just the Giants): Just as Moses sent spies to check out the Promised Land, you need to courageously list every opportunity to make your dream happen—even the scary parts. Don't censor the list; just write it down.
2. Godly Dreams are Intentional, Not Impulsive: The spies took 40 days to search the land. Real visions require study and patience. Don't rush; wait for God's "appointed time" (Habakkuk 2:3).
3. Report to God & a Partner: You are 95% more likely to achieve a goal with accountability. Report your findings to God first, but then find a trusted friend or group (like our Warriors Accountability Group) to cheer you on when obstacles arise.
4. Ignore the Majority: 10 out of 12 spies let fear rule them. Most people will try to talk you out of your God-given dreams because they focus on the "giants." Be like Caleb and Joshua—choose faith over the majority's fear.
